Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7352

Chapter 7266: Li Chaoxi!

As he descended, his sleeves and robes fluttered in the wind, and he finally landed smoothly with a light touch of his toes, slowly arriving before Li Tianming.

Li Tianming was somewhat surprised, but after a moment’s thought, he chose to clasp his hands in a respectful bow and said, “Greetings, Your Majesty.”

“No need to be so formal,” Li chuckled, then slowly said with his hands behind his back, “Actually, I’ve thought about this decision for a long time, but after much consideration, I’ve decided to fully reveal my secret. This is the true respect for you as my opponent.”

Li Tianming understood, of course, that the secret the other party spoke of was his own identity, which also resolved everyone’s doubts about why he had revealed his identity.

At the same time, Li Tianming was also somewhat surprised that the other party was so polite and unpretentious.

So, he smiled and said, “I’ve long heard of Your Majesty’s renown, and seeing you today, I

can confirm your unparalleled elegance and exceptional talent. I truly admire you.” “As the saying goes, ‘No discord, no concord.’ Perhaps we can become friends from now on. If you keep calling me ‘Your Majesty,’ it makes us seem distant,” Li said with a light smile. “My name is Li Chaoxi. If you wish, you can simply call me Chaoxi.”

With that, she smiled and opened her arms, her eyes seemingly inviting him.

Li Tianming was slightly taken aback, but didn’t resist. He stepped forward and gave her a brief, light hug.

However, this hug immediately caused a stir among the surrounding disciples.

Many looked on in disbelief.

“How dare he? He actually hugged her like that?”

“This is the Li Imperial Clan! How could someone of the opposite s*x dare to have such contact with them?”

Having just been amazed by Li Chaoxi’s beauty and learned of her identity, many had already placed her in a very high position.

Li Tianming’s contact was now like the unattainable fairy in their hearts being desecrated—unbearable!

Li Tianming and Li Chaoxi, the two main figures, naturally heard these words and opinions.

Li Tianming was speechless, after all, the other party hadn’t said anything.

But some discerning people spoke up, defending Li Tianming.

“It wasn’t Li Zhanshen who initiated it; it was the Emperor who invited him. How can you blame him?”

“Besides, I think Li Zhanshen was very considerate. He didn’t overstep his bounds at all. You only glanced at the Emperor and you’re already so audacious as to fantasize about him?”

These words silenced many, because while Li Tianming might be fine now, admitting to desecrating Li Chaoxi in public was a serious matter!

They couldn’t afford the consequences.

“I’m truly sorry, such a small action has caused you trouble, which is why I didn’t want to appear in front of the world…” Li Chaoxi said, rubbing her forehead, seemingly helpless.

Li Tianming smiled slightly, a hint of self-deprecation in his voice. “This is nothing to worry about. I’ve been through a lot. It’s just a bit of gossip; it’ll fade away quickly.”

“You’re quite open-minded,” Li Chaoxi suddenly said with a bright smile. “From now on, we’re friends, right? By the way… my section of the Great Wall is right next to yours. You can come visit anytime.”

“If there’s a chance, I will,” Li Tianming nodded slightly, smiling.

At this moment, Sui Shenyao said with some surprise, “This person seems quite familiar with Little Li. It seems she’s not oblivious to what’s going on outside; she might have been paying attention to Little Li for a while.”

“Currently, Li Chaoxi seems to have a good attitude towards Tianming, but I don’t know if it’s genuine or just an act…” Aurora said meaningfully.

Li Tianming responded in his mind, “Actually, the fact that Li Chaoxi is willing to smile at me means she’s at least giving us a chance to interact in a normal way. Of course, I won’t choose to tear things apart directly; there’s no need to create trouble for myself.”

In other words, Li Tianming accepted her kindness.

Because Li Chaoxi hadn’t revealed much about her identity before, even Yin Chen had limited information.

Therefore, Li Tianming and the others couldn’t really say what her true intentions were.

Currently, aside from the defeated Li Qianyang, Li Tianming could only confirm that the Li clan behind Wei Shendao clearly harbored ill will towards him.

After all, they had set a deadly trap for Li Tianming at the Heavenly Emperor’s Great Wall, aiming for his death and even eternal infamy. Since Li

Chaoxi had publicly shown Li Tianming a friendly demeanor, Li Tianming naturally had to reciprocate.

Regardless of how their relationship developed, at least outwardly, Li Tianming couldn’t appear too arrogant in front of the Li clan.

This peaceful coexistence was also a way for Li Tianming to show outsiders that he wasn’t feared by the Li clan and that both sides could coexist peacefully.

Those targeting Li Tianming were merely individual individuals and didn’t represent the entire clan!

Whether Li Chaoxi’s motives were pure or not, no one knew, but Li Tianming considered every choice he made, regardless of the other party’s intentions.

After getting to know each other, the two headed almost side-by-side to the ‘Five-Colored Circle’ used for the battle.

At this moment, they prepared to ascend the platform!

They simultaneously stepped onto the golden circle, a flash of golden light beneath their feet, and they were seen simultaneously ascending the Emperor’s Battle Platform.

Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, in this battle of the century, through the manipulation of the Myriad Emperors Palace, the two were simultaneously teleported to a special battle platform.

This Emperor’s Battle Platform was much larger than the ordinary one, allowing for a clearer view from many more people.

Inside the Myriad Emperors Palace, in each private room, clear images were displaying the battle scene live.

Li Tianming stood on the Emperor’s Battle Platform, closed his eyes, and briefly sensed the surroundings, discovering that the collective mental power of the masses was only one-tenth of that of the Heavenly Emperor’s Great Wall.

“The Heavenly Emperor Sect’s Heavenly Mandate Army isn’t large, so this is all they can do…” Li Tianming opened his eyes, his gaze slightly narrowed, and thought to himself, “But this isn’t a life-or-death battle, so it doesn’t matter whether we can unleash our full power.”

At this moment, Li Chaoxi, standing before him, drew the sword from his waist, and a cold glint flashed on the Emperor’s Battle Stage!

This sword was three feet long, much smaller than the Eastern Emperor Sword, but in reality, this was the size of most people’s swords.

The sword’s blade was mainly gold, but it was also adorned with black dragon patterns, further emphasizing an imperial majesty. When it appeared, it seemed as if dragon roars echoed throughout the Emperor’s Battle Stage!

Everyone stared wide-eyed at the image, unable to contain their amazement.

“This is the Chenxi Emperor Sword! So it’s actually in Li Chaoxi’s hands?”

“This is a Saint Emperor-level Dao Treasure! It’s a treasure that many people can’t even see in their entire lives. If you add Li Chaoxi’s strength to it, how terrifying would his combat power be!”

“This Li Tianming actually dares to dream of fighting him? That’s pure wishful thinking. He’ll definitely suffer a crushing defeat.”

“Good, let him see the gap between himself and a true super genius. It would be a real shame if he were crushed to the point of despair…”

Many people, witnessing this scene, were even more convinced that Li Tianming was no match.

Li Tianming was indeed somewhat grave. Although the battle hadn’t begun, he could sense that his opponent’s realm was not low, though he didn’t yet know the exact level.

Moreover, his opponent possessed the terrifying Stealing Heaven’s Fate!

With the significant enhancement of Stealing Heaven’s Fate, things became even more troublesome for Li Tianming. After all, within the Heavenly Emperor Sect, he couldn’t utilize the collective spiritual power of the Divine Treasury Star System.

Facing Li Chaoxi, Li Tianming also drew his Eastern Emperor Sword and entered his optimal state, except for the unused collective spiritual power.
