Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7384
Chapter 7298: Waiting!
“I truly cannot believe that the greatest contributor to this battle is actually Tianming, a child not even ten thousand years old.” Jiang Wudao turned his gaze to Li Tianming beside him, a hint of admiration in his eyes.
Hun Dun also praised, “Tianming, your achievements at such a young age are truly unprecedented. With you and the Emperor here, the Seventh and Eighth Great Wall sections are safe. At least the situation of your predecessor will not easily repeat itself.”
“This successful defense against the beast tide is actually the result of the joint efforts of the two Great Wall sections’ Demon Extermination Army brothers. Everyone just did what they could, and so did I,” Li Tianming said with a smile.
Jiang Wudao nodded slowly and said, “Your battle this time has set an excellent example for others to follow. When you return, the Holy War Temple and the Supreme Emperor Ancestor Society will surely reward you handsomely.”
“I don’t mind, after all, compared to Junior Brother Li, my efforts are nothing. However, I think his contribution this time is huge, and he has a good chance to advance further.” Li Chaoxi said, then fell into thought for a moment, and after a while, her eyes lit up and she said, “When the time comes, I will personally go to the Holy War Temple to ask Junior Brother Li for credit. I will definitely get this great achievement!”
Upon hearing this, Li Tianming knew that the three of them would speak well of him and help him gain credit.
So, Li Tianming clasped his hands and bowed to the three of them, saying, “Senior Sister Chaoxi, Emperor Ancestor Hun Dun, and War God Jiang, regardless of whether this matter succeeds or not, thank you all for your help.”
Hun Dun and Jiang Wudao smiled at each other and waved their hands.
Li Chaoxi smiled slightly and said, “Junior Brother Li, you’re too kind. We’ve been comrades-in-arms who have shared life and death on the front lines. There’s no need to be so polite about such a small matter.”
“Now that everything is over, we should return to the Heavenly Emperor Sect immediately to report the situation. The sooner this matter is arranged, the better,” Hun Dun and Jiang Wudao exchanged a glance. With
that, both prepared to depart for the Heavenly Emperor Sect.
At this moment, Li Tianming and Li Chaoxi cupped their hands in farewell, saying, “Emperor Ancestor Hun Dun, War God Jiang, please take care.”
At this moment, the great battle had completely ended!
The chaotic scene was quickly cleaned up.
The reinforcements who had traveled thousands of miles returned to their respective garrisons.
Some of them were actually quite disappointed.
Someone muttered, “I thought I could get some credit, but it turned out to be a wasted trip. It was really unnecessary.”
However, most of the experienced members of the Demon Extinction Army remained relatively rational.
Beside the man, an old soldier slapped him on the head and reprimanded him sternly, “You’d better not say such things again, or you’ll be court-martialed. Don’t blame me for not warning you!”
“But isn’t this the truth? What can’t be said?” the young Demon Slayer Army soldier retorted.
“Being able to hold the line is already incredibly lucky. If it weren’t for War God Li this time, and we had arrived late, do you think you’d be rewarded? You’d be punished for not arriving on time!” the old soldier said meaningfully.
After the reinforcements had all dispersed, it was time for the Seventh and Eighth Heavenly Demon Slayer Armies to rebuild their defenses.
They rebuilt fortifications along the line that had withstood this beast tide attack to prepare for the next possible beast tide attack.
After Li Tianming returned to the War God Palace, he actually heard that Li Chaoxi had gone to the Heavenly Emperor Sect to request credit for him.
Li Tianming knew a little about Li Chaoxi’s straightforward personality, so he wasn’t too surprised.
However, Li Tianming couldn’t help but sigh at the difference between Li Qianyang and Li Chaoxi.
Li Tianming treated the former with courtesy, yet they almost all became mortal enemies.
The latter, however, was someone he befriended through martial arts; their first meeting was a duel, but now, at least superficially, Li Tianming seemed to get along well with him.
Although both were members of the Li imperial clan, the difference in their character was vast.
Meanwhile, in the War God Palace ,
Sui Shenyao suddenly asked curiously, “Little Li, even the Empress is going to speak well of you. Do you think you have a chance to reach the tenth-star War God level?”
Li Tianming shook his head, “I don’t know. Within the Heavenly Emperor Sect, there are many who secretly see me as an enemy, and equally many who outwardly show goodwill. I have no idea what the outcome will be.”
“It’s alright. Even if you can’t cross that threshold, you can prepare for the next advancement. You can’t expect us to be completely devoured without any merit, can you?” Aurora smiled and said, “However, if you succeed, Tianming might become the fastest person in the history of the Heavenly Emperor Sect to advance from a one-star War God to a ten-star War God. That would be the best…
“
The news of Li Tianming’s astonishing military exploits spread throughout the Heavenly Emperor Sect as other members who had arrived at the scene reported it.
Upon hearing the news, everyone in the Heavenly Emperor Sect was initially incredulous.
“How could a mere youth under the age of ten thousand possibly kill over a dozen Demon Queens in an instant? Even a Saint Emperor couldn’t do that, right?” “
It’s said that he couldn’t bear to see the defenses breached and his soldiers in danger, so he used a treasure given to him by his wife. This was stated by the Empress herself; she would never fabricate facts, and the person relaying the message wouldn’t dare fabricate rumors about the Empress!”
“It’s really true!”
This news was so explosive that if it weren’t for Li Chaoxi’s authority, it would likely have been considered a joke.
The news spread rapidly throughout the Heavenly Emperor Sect, with everyone excitedly sharing it with those around them.
In a very short time, the news reached the Myriad Emperors Palace.
There, Xingxiao, upon hearing the news, was also stunned.
She only snapped out of her daze when Xingyan shook her arm beside her.
“This Junior Brother Li… is truly too heaven-defying. Although it’s very likely not his own power, his courage alone is enough to impress me,” Xingxiao exclaimed.
“His growth rate is simply too fast. Putting aside the matter of dealing with the Demon Queen, just joining forces with the Emperor to withstand the beast tide must have required considerable courage,” Xingyan said with shining eyes and a hint of admiration.
At this moment, Jiang Beichen, even though he had followed Li Tianming before and was somewhat used to his miracles
, still couldn’t help but gasp at such exaggerated achievements.
“Too powerful! In such a short time, Governor Li, being the youngest among them, is no longer being compared to older disciples, but to the older generation of powerhouses!” Jiang Beichen said with burning eyes.
Faced with such astonishing achievements, and with Li Chaoxi’s authoritative certification, those disciples who usually disliked Li Tianming were speechless.
