Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7356

Chapter 7270: Not Defeated for a Long Time!

The second level of Stealing Heaven’s Mandate erupted, sweeping across the entire arena!

At this moment, countless people could feel a gap appearing in their own power. This heaven-defying divine skill made everyone sigh in amazement.

“The Emperor’s Way of the Li Clan is so powerful and incomparably domineering!”

“Stealing Heaven’s Mandate is their racial ability, while conquest and plunder are their Emperor’s Way. These two complement each other, jointly cultivating one monstrous talent after another in the Li Clan…”

“Both are Emperor’s Way cultivators, but when Li Zhanshen meets the Li Clan, he’s truly a small fry compared to a big fish.”

“How could a mere child like him possibly stumble upon the Emperor’s Way that the Li Clan has pursued for generations and that countless people have tried and failed at? Even if he has a strong person by his side, that person is not an Emperor’s Way cultivator and certainly cannot provide guidance.”

When comparing the two, people always placed Li Tianming’s Emperor’s Way in a lower position.

There was no way around it; the entire Heavenly Emperor’s territory had been ruled by the Li Clan for countless years, and people had become accustomed to being informed by the Li Clan.

Therefore, they unconsciously believed that their Emperor’s Way was powerful.

However, this idea was completely foreign to Li Tianming!

His Emperor’s Path had never been connected to the Emperor’s Path of the Li Clan, nor had it grown under the rule of the Li Clan; it had grown within the God Emperor Universe!

At this moment!

Facing this Heaven-Stolen Fate that could devour the heavens and earth, Li Tianming’s heart was unwavering. “Although this Emperor’s Path is indeed very powerful, as a path of plunder, with countless people imitating it, its upper limit is ultimately locked. Compared to my Path of All Beings, which can provide self-reinforcing benefits, the higher one goes, the stronger the assistance it brings. This Emperor’s Path is still lacking…”

His Path of All Beings’ effectiveness increases with the number of people and the extent to which it spreads throughout the universe.

Everyone in the Heavenly Fate Universe Dynasty is equivalent to Li Tianming’s foundation; the higher one goes, the more people submit, the more advantageous it is for Li Tianming.

The Path of Plunder, in its deeper sense, is the Path of Extinction!

This Emperor’s Path can indeed give these younger generations a significant advantage over their peers.

However, when cultivated to its peak, it lacks the infinite possibilities of Li Tianming’s Emperor’s Path!

This is the difference between the two.

Faced with Stealing Heaven’s Mandate, Li Tianming could no longer rely solely on his own power as a Celestial God; he also needed to amplify his strength through his Imperial Dao!

At this moment, the two Eastern Emperor Swords in his hands merged into one, becoming a golden-black Eastern Emperor Heavy Sword.

Simultaneously, unseen by the crowd, a vast amount of spiritual energy from the masses below the stage provided Li Tianming with spiritual power!

Those members of the Heavenly Mandate Army, those who had been captivated by Li Tianming, were silently contributing their strength.

Compared to the overwhelming momentum of Stealing Heaven’s Mandate, this assistance to Li Tianming occurred quietly.

Although Li Tianming did not believe his Imperial Dao was weaker than that of the Li Clan,

at this moment!

This Heavenly Emperor Sect was the territory of the Li Clan, their home ground.

Many were willing to provide power to Li Chaoxi, but few were Li Tianming’s own people.

He could clearly feel that his improvement was not as great as Li Chaoxi’s!

However, Li Tianming still resolutely attacked, not faltering because of this.

He swung the Eastern Emperor’s Heavy Sword vertically, instantly cleaving open a chaotic cosmic space.

The Primordial Chaos!

This sword strike contained both the order of creation and the resolve to destroy the world, the two intertwined.

Life and death, all returning to the Primordial Chaos!

As this sword strike was unleashed, seven layers of Xuanjin sword energy coiled around the heavy sword, along with the two chaotic sword rings, Sui Shen Yao and Jiguang Jin Hei, clearing a path for the Primordial Chaos.

With the support of the collective will, the power of this sword strike reached the pinnacle of annihilation!

At this moment!

After using the Stealing Heaven’s Mandate to control a portion of the Cosmic God’s power from the vast majority of those present, Li Chaoxi also held a ball of energy in his hand that made the Emperor’s Battle Platform tremble.

Countless golden lightning bolts surrounded this giant sphere, which ultimately merged into his Chenxi Emperor Sword, condensing into a giant sword shadow!

“Come! Let me see your true strength!” Li Chaoxi’s eyes burned brightly as he also unleashed a sword strike.

This sword, Return to Origin!

Even Li Chaoxi could only barely unleash the final strike of the Nine Star Overlord Sword Dao when she used the second level of Stealing Heaven’s Fate!

It must be said that she had indeed made tremendous progress during this seclusion.

The power of this single strike might be equivalent to ten thousand years of arduous cultivation for others!

At this moment, the crowd below the stage leaned forward, their eyes wide as they watched this scene.

“How will Li Tianming withstand this strike?”

“Li Tianming’s strike seems quite extraordinary, probably reaching the peak of a Heavenly Venerable’s attack, but against the Empress, he’ll likely still be no match!”

“But losing to the Empress isn’t shameful!”

They all craned their necks, anticipating the final outcome of the battle!

At this moment, within Li Tianming’s strike, the Eastern Emperor Sword, empowered by the combined efforts of Sui Shenyao and Aurora, split into several sword energies!

These sword energies formed a sword array, attempting to suppress Li Chaoxi’s sword.

However, after the two clashed and trembled for a long time, finally!

Crack!

These colossal sword-shaped shadows shattered!

Li Chaoxi’s ‘Return to Origin’ sword strike instantly hurtled towards Li Tianming!

This scene caught everyone off guard!

Li Tianming hurriedly raised his Eastern Emperor Sword to block the attack head-on. His two-headed Kui dragon dharma image roared beside him, and every companion beast within Li Tianming’s body contributed its strength!

His hands trembled as he struggled to withstand the pressure, preventing the sword from cleaving him in two.

“This sword strike is incredibly powerful!”

Li Tianming couldn’t help but exclaim.

Time passed, and eventually, cracks appeared on Li Tianming’s arms as he barely managed to withstand the sword!

After breaking through Li Tianming’s Primordial Chaos, what Li Chaoxi hadn’t expected was that these shattered sword fragments also possessed considerable power!

This wasn’t a deliberate sneak attack by Li Tianming, but rather the aftershocks of the battle.

Thus, as these fragments grazed her sleeves, some scratches appeared, and she began to dodge and weave across the battlefield.

He even looked somewhat disheveled.

Of course, compared to Li Tianming almost having his arms shattered, this was a minor injury.

In general, Li Chaoxi was almost unharmed.

However, she didn’t want to risk being cut and mangled by the sword fragments before charging at Li Tianming again.

Li Tianming wasn’t surprised that he was weaker than his opponent in this attack, given that she was already an eighth-tier Heavenly Venerable, and with the Stealing Heavenly Fate technique, she had at least reached the combat power of a twelfth-tier Heavenly Venerable.

But he was also somewhat surprised; her second-level Stealing Heavenly Fate was indeed terrifying!

Compared to their thoughts, what truly caused a huge commotion at this moment was within the Myriad Emperors Palace!

In that instant, some could sense a fierce clash between Li Tianming and Li Chaoxi’s Emperor Dao techniques.

Both their attacks contained traces of their respective Emperor Dao, but ultimately Li Tianming was slightly inferior.

Li Chaoxi stopped at this moment, and Li Tianming had no intention of continuing.

But the discussions among the disciples exploded.

“Overestimating himself, actually trying to use his Emperor Dao to fight head-on?”

someone mocked.

“This Li Tianming thinks his imperial path is powerful. He thinks he’s really that strong just because he defeated Li Qianyang. Now he’s finally met his match!”

“The imperial path of the Li clan is ultimately powerful, something that Li Tianming’s talent alone can’t compensate for.” “

The upper limit of a peripheral star system can’t compare to the upper limit of a star system’s overlord family. Li Tianming has already done quite well to reach this point.”

However, some people were incredibly amazed by the result of the battle between the two.

“This Li Tianming actually blocked the Empress’s sword strike without even unleashing his God of the Universe’s Origin?”

“To be honest, he has every right to be proud of himself for achieving this.”

“Although he lost this battle, don’t forget how young he is.”

“Even the Li Clan, whose members are tens of thousands of years old, needed to use the Stealing Heaven’s Fate technique to defeat him, which is enough to prove his potential. Given time, he will definitely become the true number one on the Myriad Emperors Ranking!”

“A glorious defeat!”

“Moreover, Li Chaoxi actually suffered quite a bit in that sword strike. If she had insisted on advancing, her injuries would have been severe. However, she clearly didn’t want to continue fighting because it was pointless; both sides had used their full strength.”

While everyone was discussing, praising, or mocking Li Tianming for overestimating his abilities.

Li Chaoxi swiftly moved across the battle platform, arriving beside Li Tianming. She asked with concern, “Are you alright?”

Li Tianming smiled and replied, “I’m fine, but I really can’t beat you in this fight.”

“Beat me? You’re quite interesting. After losing, you’re actually thinking about winning back. You’re definitely different from others,” Li Chaoxi chuckled.

“What else? Does losing mean I have to be devastated and resign myself to being inferior?” Li Tianming shook his head with a smile. “That’s not my style.”

“You really are quite interesting,” Li Chaoxi said with a smile. “I heard you defeated Wei Qingyu at the Heavenly Emperor’s Great Wall. Even if I used the Stealing Heaven’s Fate technique, I might not have been able to defeat him, but you actually lost to me. Could it be… you like me? So you deliberately let me win?”

She winked at Li Tianming.

“What are you thinking? Who said you have to feign defeat to pursue someone? Besides, I already have a bunch of wives, where would I find the energy to find another one?” Li Tianming said speechlessly.

At this moment, Li Tianming harbored doubts.

He thought to Aurora and the others, “Could this person be probing the secrets of my ‘Line of All Beings’? Or has my previous behavior already aroused suspicion?”

Aurora’s tone was somewhat grave, “It’s hard to say, but we should still be a little more careful in the future.”

Faced with the other party’s question, Li Tianming smiled calmly, “That Wei Qingyu is, after all, a member of the Living Beings Emperor Clan. Without a Dao Plant, his individual combat strength is still somewhat inferior to yours using the Stealing Fate technique. I also exerted a great deal of effort to defeat him, so I really didn’t hold back.”
