Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7436

Chapter 7350: Beacon Ruins

A barrier formed from star-river minerals and countless essences condensed above the city, these substances, along with dazzling and exquisite Dao patterns, constituted the most solid defense line!

The strength of this array, and the endless star-silver minerals it integrated, left Li Tianming with no doubt that even the strongest individuals he had encountered within the Heavenly Emperor’s territory, when they joined forces for a full-force attack, would likely only scratch this array.

This was the foundation of a third-level star system!

At this moment, Li Zhaotang, who had been silent all along, took the initiative to speak, introducing the group of proud members of the Li clan to them: “The place we are currently in is the capital of the Qianfeng Eternal Empire!”

The crowd, still reeling from the shock, barely registered the name, completely stunned.

Although Li Tianming was equally shocked, his mind was still clear. He observed the scene before him more closely, silently familiarizing himself with this new world.

From his Observational Realm, he could see that these galaxies formed colorful clouds.

The Dao minerals and super cosmic ray sources here were countless, and the environment appeared much brighter than that of the Heavenly Emperor’s Sect.

Countless colossal cannons, condensed from galaxies, stood atop the city walls, their barrels imbued with ultimate destructive power.

Li Tianming had no doubt that each of these cannons could destroy an entire galaxy—not just the weakest level nine, but one capable of annihilating all beings within the Heavenly Emperor’s territory!

These colossal cannons were densely packed and countless on the capital’s walls!

Li Tianming couldn’t imagine the military deployment at the border.

This capital alone was already a thousand times more magnificent than the Heavenly Emperor Sect; how vast must an entire level three galaxy be?

This thought quickly surfaced in the minds of everyone present.

They simply couldn’t comprehend it!

The Heavenly Emperor Sect, which occupied the vast majority of the Li Clan’s galaxies, was truly insignificant before such a level three galaxy.

Moreover, now that they were in the city, they could see countless palaces, buildings, and other

structures, all shimmering with starlight, as if poured from the endless Milky Way. The seamless architecture before Li Tianming and his companions left the fifty-odd people utterly astonished.

Magnificent! “

It’s absolutely enormous!

” Li Chaoxi exclaimed, her beautiful eyes wide, standing beside Li Tianming.

This wasn’t just about the sheer size of the space; in conquering star systems, resources were crucial.

In fact, empty space far outweighed material resources within a star system.

But these star-sized structures were entirely constructed from the rarest materials!

The amount of materials required for a single building was at least dozens of times the resources of a star system, and these materials were incredibly precious!

There were countless such buildings!

Seeing this, Li Tianming felt a surge of desire.

Noticing Li Tianming’s inexplicable excitement, Sui Shenyao said somewhat helplessly, “Hey! You’re not thinking of demolishing their houses, are you?”

“How could I? Am I that kind of person? A gentleman loves money, but he earns it honestly, don’t you understand?” Li Tianming retorted inwardly.

At this moment, faced with such luxurious vastness, a scene countless times larger than a level six star system, even the geniuses of the Li Clan couldn’t hide their stunned expressions.

They all curiously surveyed their surroundings, finding everything novel and awe-inspiring.

At this moment, these revered and powerful figures of the Heavenly Emperor Sect, now standing high above everyone else, felt like barbarians from the outer regions invading a city!

Compared to them, Li Tianming was much calmer, having risen from humble beginnings and witnessed things far beyond his comprehension.

Although the scene before him was breathtaking, Li Tianming quickly adjusted his mindset, appearing remarkably composed.

Li Chaohong, noticing Li Tianming’s change, flashed a hint of surprise in his eyes.

Then, even with a touch of rivalry, he forcefully suppressed his shock.

Li Chaohui and Li Chaoxi also noticed the change in those around them. While not as composed as Li Tianming, their reactions were far more measured than those of the other members of the Li clan.

Li Dixiao, seeing their transformation, nodded in satisfaction, while also looking at Li Zhaotang and Li Xuanyin with a hint of pride.

The group spent some time familiarizing themselves with their surroundings.

During this time, Li Xuanyin and the others didn’t urge them, but silently waited with these geniuses.

However, Li Tianming observed the three’s attitude and guessed with some suspicion, “They seem to be waiting for someone?”

The moment this thought arose, Li Tianming got the answer.

At this moment, in the far distance, a huge flame seemed to ignite beneath the surface of the real universe!

This flame was roughly humanoid, enormous, yet flickering like a dying ember.

Each flicker covered a great distance, continuously flickering as if moving at an incredibly fast speed.

And its destination was Li Tianming and the others!

Li Dixiao and the other two powerful figures weren’t particularly surprised, but the Li clan’s prodigies beside Li Tianming were extremely shocked and curious.

“What is that? Why is it coming towards us?”

“It shouldn’t pose any threat to us, even Uncle Xiao hasn’t shown any signs.”

“But this aura is so strong, so vast! It’s practically a human-shaped sea of fire!”

The crowd discussed amongst themselves, but because they were so close to Li Dixiao, they managed to remain steadfast despite their fear.

Finally!

The flame flashed before Li Dixiao and Li Tianming’s group.

In that instant!

The flame burned, scorching the space, and slowly condensed into a real person!

“This is definitely a light-year level expert!” Aurora exclaimed

even before the figure fully appeared.

Li Tianming was also quite surprised, “I didn’t expect to see a light-year level expert so soon after arriving here!”

It should be known that in the Heavenly Emperor’s Territory, every light-year level expert was a powerful figure.

Their numbers were so small that many cultivators would never even see one in their entire lives, yet they were commonplace in the Qianfeng Eternal Empire!

The body formed by the flame was now fully revealed to everyone.

It was a handsome young man, his actual age unknown, but the active power emanating from him indicated that he was definitely not old!

He wore a long black and gold robe, his hair was styled in fiery wisps, his eyebrows were sharply angled, and his gaze was piercing.

This unique aura of a powerful figure instilled an instinctive sense of apprehension in the group of Li Clan prodigies.

“Where did this light-year expert come from? Could he be here to cause us trouble?”

“What’s there to be afraid of! We still have Uncle Xiao, Aunt Tang, and Uncle Yin here. Is there any need to be so cowardly?”

“But we’re new here; it’s not good to clash with someone…”

The Li Clan prodigies each had their own thoughts.

At this moment, the mysterious man spotted Li Dixiao at a glance and smiled slightly, “Brother Xiao, you’ve finally arrived. How have you been?”

“Well, no major progress, just normal cultivation.” Li Dixiao nodded politely and smiled back.

Among cultivators, as long as they are alive, their conversation naturally revolves around cultivation.

The man with the burning hair seemed to only just notice, looking at the two beside Li Dixiao and politely asking, “Brother Xiao, who are these two?”

“Oh, let me introduce you.” Li Dixiao stood in the middle of the group, first gesturing to Li Xuanyin and Li Zhaotang, then smiling at the mysterious man, “These two are family members of my clan, Li Zhaotang and Li Xuanyin.”

Next, Li Dixiao gestured to the two accompanying him, “This is Xuan Tianque, a good friend of mine outside the Heavenly Emperor’s territory.” “

Fellow Daoist Xuan Tian, it’s a pleasure to meet you.” Li Xuanyin greeted him with a smile.

Li Zhaotang also smiled politely, “A pleasure to meet you.”

“Yes, me too.” Xuan Tianque nodded indifferently.

There seemed to be a subtle atmosphere among them. Xuan Tianque and Li Dixiao were relatively easy to talk to, but with the others, they only maintained formalities.

However, Xuan Tianque suddenly noticed Li Tianming and the others, a hint of curiosity in his eyes. He asked Li Dixiao, “So, these are all the younger generation of your Li Clan Heavenly Emperor Sect?”

“Yes, what do you think, Brother Xuan?” Li Dixiao smiled and said.

“Not bad, quite spirited.” Xuan Tianque replied politely with a smile.

At this moment, the group of geniuses from the Li Clan were all somewhat curious.

“This powerful figure seems to have a good relationship with Uncle Xiao.”

“When did they meet? I’ve never heard of them before.”

“Nonsense, how long have you lived? How could you possibly know where Uncle Xiao went when he was young?”

They all discussed in very low voices, also somewhat wary of this unfamiliar powerful figure to them.

During a break in their discussion, Li Tianming whispered to Li Chaoxi, “Why did Senior Xuantian refer to us as the Li Clan Heavenly Emperor Sect? What’s the story behind that?”

Li Chaoxi patiently explained, “It’s because there are simply too many sixth-level star systems in the outer regions called the Heavenly Emperor Sect—at least a hundred or so. So, after we leave the Heavenly Emperor Sect, the names used outside are distinguished by surname.”

“More than a hundred, all Heavenly Emperor Sects?” Li Tianming’s eyes widened slightly, somewhat surprised.

“Of course, there are even those among these hundred-plus Heavenly Emperor Sects that are stronger than our Li Clan Heavenly Emperor Sect,” Li Chaoxi said slowly. “Therefore, the universe is so vast that we need to have a sense of awe and not be like frogs in a well…”

“Senior Sister is right,” Li Tianming nodded.

Actually, his surprise stemmed mainly from the similarity in names among these star systems, not from looking down on the outside world.

After all, knowing the size of the Chaos God Emperor’s body, he was the least likely to underestimate the vastness of the universe.

However, at this moment, Li Tianming had gained a deeper understanding of the grandeur of the ‘outer’ universe.

Not all the geniuses of the Li Imperial Clan understood the meaning of the ‘Li Clan’ Heavenly Emperor Sect.

But now, after Li Chaoxi explained it, everyone deeply understood the vastness of the universe, the abundance of geniuses, and the strength of other forces.

Thus, this larger world instantly tempered the arrogance of the proud Li Imperial Clan prodigies.

After this, the once haughty Li Imperial Clan prodigies all became more low-key, no longer holding their heads high with disdain.

At least until they returned to the Heavenly Emperor Sect, they had no right to look down on their peers!
