Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7315

Chapter 7229: One-Star Battle Merit

“War God Li, what do you mean by this? Why don’t you take back all the Demon-Slaying Realm Cores?” Qin Kuang asked, puzzled. The lion’s head and two leopard’s heads on his ghostly body stared wide-eyed at Li Tianming.

Li Tianming smiled calmly and said, “It’s indeed worrying to have such a treasure as the Demon-Slaying Realm Cores in our hands. We should understand Vice General Wei’s predicament. Giving him enough time to think about how to repair them is not a problem…”

Chan Yu and the other border generals, including Vice General Yu Mo, understood the meaning behind Li Tianming’s words.

However, they all frowned slightly and said nothing more.

Now, Li Tianming already had two Demon-Slaying Realm Cores, which was enough to control the Heavenly Eight Absolute Demon Army. As for his true thoughts, it wasn’t that important anymore.

“Since War God Li has spoken, I hope Vice General Wei can repair these Demon-Slaying Realm Cores as soon as possible and not keep War God Li waiting too long!” Jiang Guxu looked at Wei Qingyu and snorted coldly.

He was already at this age and was fearless. As a border general, he dared to reprimand even a vice general.

Previously, there was simply no one worth following, which is why they didn’t resist the war god competition between the lieutenants.

After all, not being afraid of death doesn’t mean wanting to go and die.

Facing Jiang Guxu’s blunt words, Wei Qingyu simply smiled, his expression meaningful.

At this moment, Sui Shenyao said somewhat slyly, “This guy is so arrogant, Little Li, can you resist confronting him? He’s practically riding on your face…”

“No rush, let him continue to show off.” Li Tianming smiled and responded in his mind, “This Wei Qingyu isn’t stupid. Since he’s already in this situation, and still dares to openly oppose me, he must still have some resources I don’t know about, and still want to fight me. In that case, let him be!”

At this moment, almost all the Jue Mo Army soldiers had gathered around the watchtower.

Li Tianming smiled and said to everyone, “Fellow soldiers of the Jue Mo Army, now that the beast tide has been extinguished and the culprits have been executed, you can all disperse now, rest or cultivate as you please.”

In an instant, those Jue Mo Army soldiers who had chosen to follow Li Tianming all raised their arms and cheered loudly in celebration!

“Long live War God Li!!”

“This is the War God we’ve been waiting for! He almost single-handedly resolved both internal and external troubles.”

‘From now on, the casualties among the Demon Extinction Army will definitely decrease significantly, all thanks to War God Li!’

“This thousand-year struggle has finally ended with War God Li leading our Demon Extinction Army to victory, not with the meaningless sacrifice of some border general!”

Only those who truly suffered and experienced these events in the lower ranks of the Demon Extinction Army could truly understand the depth of this conflict.

This is why they so deeply appreciate how hard-won and precious internal unity is.

Therefore, at this moment, the vast majority of the Demon Extinction Army has already revered Li Tianming as the true War God.

This confirms the saying: becoming a War God doesn’t guarantee respect, but rather, being respected is what makes one a War God.

Now, of the original three deputy generals, Jiu Yang has been killed on the spot by Li Tianming, Yu Mo has chosen to submit to Li Tianming, while Wei Qingyu has chosen to stand on a different side.

In a way, Yu Mo has become a capable deputy general by Li Tianming’s side.

Among the Eight Heavenly Demons, Yu Mo is currently Li Tianming’s strongest subordinate.

Wei Qingyu, after Li Tianming declared victory, had already disappeared from everyone’s sight with his personal guards.

Li Tianming narrowed his eyes, giving Wei Qingyu one last look.

Finally, Li Tianming turned to Yu Mo and asked, “What other trump cards does this Vice General Wei hold? Have you known anything about this after fighting him for a thousand years?”

Yu Mo looked somewhat bewildered, and after a moment’s thought, shook his head, saying, “In these thousand years, the three of us have used every trick in the book, and I’ve never heard of him having any unknown trump cards…”

Li Tianming nodded, lost in thought.

Aurora, seemingly pondering, remarked, “It doesn’t seem like Yu Mo is lying, but that does make things a bit strange. After all, they’ve been fighting for so long. If Wei Qingyu’s trump cards were enough to deal with us, then he should also be able to deal with the other vice generals, and he would have already secured the title of War God.”

This was also a point of slight confusion for Li Tianming.

“However, since we’ve already chosen to let the opponent reveal all their cards and then fight one last time, there’s no need to dwell on these things,” Li Tianming thought to Aurora.

“That’s true,” Aurora chuckled.

Li Tianming then looked at Yu Mo and asked curiously, “Vice General Yu, how many merits will I get for the demons I killed today?”

Although Li Tianming wasn’t currently obsessed with promotion, he would be very happy to do so if it went smoothly.

Upon hearing this, Yu Mo pondered for a moment and then said, “Hundreds of millions of demons… plus a demon queen who barely reached the ninth level of the Heavenly Fate Reincarnation… that would probably count as one star of merit, which is one star palace.”

“Only one star for this battle?” Li Tianming asked, somewhat surprised.

Seemingly sensing Li Tianming’s disappointment, Yu Mo sighed and said, “War God Li, one star for one battle is already news that can shake the entire army. Even if it gets out, its authenticity will be questioned. And you’re still not satisfied?”

Li Tianming laughed, “I was just thinking, if I alone fight to resolve this beast tide and gain one star in merit, how many beast tides would the brothers of the Heavenly Eight Demon Army have to repel before they could accumulate merit?”

“You can rest assured about that. When the entire army attacks, the calculation of merit is naturally different. Your special case is rare even in history,” Yu Mo said somewhat helplessly.

At this moment, Li Tianming’s words, spoken for the sake of the Heavenly Eight Demon Army, also reached the ears of the seven border generals.

In an instant, they became even more determined that following Li Tianming was the right choice!

A war god who could value the lives and deaths, the merits and achievements of the lower-ranking Demon Army was truly capable of winning hearts and minds.

At this moment, Li Tianming pondered for a moment, then asked, “As a War God, I already have one Star Palace. If I were to advance another star, wouldn’t I have two Star Palaces?”

“War God Li, it’s not calculated that way,” Yu Mo shook her head and patiently explained, “We can’t improve your cultivation environment right now. You need to accumulate ten stars to upgrade your Star Palace and simultaneously become a Ten-Star War God.” “

I see…” Li Tianming nodded, seemingly lost in thought.

This wasn’t entirely unexpected for him; it was just a casual question.

After all, finding a suitable Star Palace is difficult enough, and trying to do too much at once is counterproductive. He couldn’t possibly split his body and enter multiple Star Palaces simultaneously, could he?

Unless Li Tianming possessed Yin Chen’s abilities.

“In that case, go and report this for me. The entire Demon Extinction Army witnessed this battle. Also…” As he spoke, Li Tianming took out several image spheres and tossed them in front of Yu Mo. She caught them in a flurry of activity. Li Tianming continued, “These are details from my battle; you can take them with you.”

“Understood. These conditions are more than enough. Actually, they’re not that strict. The Demon-Slaying Pavilion usually approves them,” Yu Mo said respectfully.

She glanced at the image sphere in her hand, a little sweaty.
