Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7449

Chapter 7363: No Man’s Land

The entire Beacon Ruins were vast, and on his way back to the Myriad Sects Battle Hall, Li Tianming would inevitably encounter deserted areas.

This was the source of Li Qianyang and the others’ confidence; they believed that as long as they followed Li Tianming, they would have an opportunity to strike.

However, they failed to consider what kind of being their prey truly was.

In fact, Li Tianming wasn’t deliberately heading towards crowded areas.

Guided by Yin Chen, he was even subtly and intentionally moving towards deserted places.

However, Li Tianming didn’t make this detail too obvious, so the others didn’t notice.

“I originally wanted to turn the page on some scores, but since you’re holding onto the ledger so firmly, preventing me from turning the page, then don’t blame me; you brought this on yourself…” Li Tianming sneered inwardly.

At this moment, Master Chen and Li Qianyang were still trailing far behind Li Tianming, following him forward.

The black shadow sent by Master Chen disappeared from Li Qianyang and the others’ sight and then flashed back not far away.

However, it was still some distance from Li Tianming.

This kind of stalking tactic would likely succeed easily against anyone else, appearing and disappearing almost undetectable.

Unfortunately for him, he was following Li Tianming, leaving no trace of his whereabouts!

Only when the shadowy figure reappeared could Li Qianyang and the others properly observe him.

This shadowy figure exuded a terrifying aura of death, resembling a humanoid puppet forged from an ancient corpse demon.

This was no exaggeration; its body was mangled and decaying, hardly resembling a living being, and extremely filthy and grotesque.

Its cheeks were oozing pus and sores, and one eye was blind, green liquid oozing from its socket, dripping onto the ground as it moved.

This putrid stench could even melt a hole in the ground, demonstrating its extreme toxicity!

Facing such an enemy, combat strength was secondary; even the nausea would likely affect one’s mental state.

“Ugh~”

Upon seeing this appearance and smelling the putrid, poisonous stench left behind, Li Yujiao couldn’t help but bend over.

“Master Chen, please forgive me. My younger sister has been pampered since childhood and has never seen anything like this. If she has offended you, I apologize on her behalf.” Li Yufeng’s expression wasn’t good either, but he still forced a bow.

Master Chen waved his hand and said magnanimously, “I’ve seen this servant of mine for so many years and I still can’t get used to it, so I can understand. But don’t let his appearance fool you; he’s always been efficient, otherwise he wouldn’t have been by my side for so long.”

Li Qianyang was relatively calm at this moment, after all, he only wanted Li Tianming to suffer or even be annihilated.

So it didn’t matter who made the move, as long as they were strong enough to do it.

So, Li Qianyang cautiously asked, “Master Chen, is this senior a ghost or god?”

“That’s right.” Master Chen nodded slightly.

At this moment, Li Qianyang lowered his stance even further, bowing his head and saying, “Master Chen, as far as I know, Li Tianming’s combat strength has probably already reached the Saint Emperor realm. It would be quite difficult for an ordinary Saint Emperor to subdue him, and it might even cause a considerable disturbance. May I ask, how capable is this senior?”

“Do I need your interference?” Master Chen glanced at Li Qianyang, seemingly displeased, then slowly and coldly said, “Don’t worry, this person is named Shi You, an elder who used to follow me. He’s quite old, and his strength is naturally extremely high. As long as your assessment of Li Tianming’s strength is correct, then he’s someone you can easily handle.”

“I certainly wouldn’t dare to instruct Master Chen. We’ve basically figured out Li Tianming’s strength; there’s no mistake.” Li Qianyang lowered his head even further, cautiously saying, “Since Master Chen says so, I’m relieved.”

“To be honest, the Corpse Weasel is already at the ninth-tier Saint Emperor level. If this kid, who’s less than ten thousand years old, gets away with it, then I have nothing more to say,” Master Chen said expressionlessly.

However, these words stunned Li Qianyang and the others.

“Ninth-tier Saint Emperor?”

“What? That’s close to the strength of our Heavenly Emperor Sect’s Supreme Ancestor!” Li Yujiao exclaimed, her eyes widening instantly.

“From the surface, you can’t tell at all that this senior possesses such formidable strength!” Li Yufeng’s pupils trembled as well.

“Of course, he does everything in secret. He must have learned to conceal his aura first. It’s normal that you can’t see it with your strength,” Master Chen sneered.

Upon learning all this, Li Qianyang laughed heartily, a smirk playing on his lips. “With Senior Corpse Weasel’s help, it should be enough to instantly annihilate Li Tianming without leaving a trace. This way, no one will be alerted, and the Li Clan’s forces will only lose one insignificant person…”

“Brother Yang, it’s not insignificant; it’s removing a cancerous tumor. This is for the future of our Li Clan. We’ve done a great thing, haha…” Li Yujiao covered her mouth and laughed.

“It’s just a pity for Li Chaoxi; she’ll probably be a widow shortly after her marriage,” Li Yufeng said with a cold laugh.

At this moment, Li Qianyang and the others were in exceptionally good spirits, as if they could already see Li Tianming’s tragic death on the spot.

Their conversation was unrestrained, yet their presence and words were virtually transparent to Li Tianming.

Because Yin Chen was constantly monitoring them!

Therefore, after learning all this, Li Tianming had his own plans. He sneered inwardly, “There is no Eternal Heavenly Emperor here, no countless eyes watching me…”

At this moment, Li Tianming’s left hand, hidden beneath bandages and his sleeve, was secretly gathering several types of cosmic rays from various parts of the Beacon Ruins.

This power, which almost distorted space, could only be sensed by Li Tianming, and only Aurora and Sui Shenyao beside him.

Aurora couldn’t help but tremble inwardly, counting the aura that seemed to incinerate everything.

“This is the Blazing Wasteland Cosmic Ray… the Burning Radiance Cosmic Ray, and the Lin Ye Cosmic Ray? These are all cosmic rays that fundamentally surpass those emitted by almost all the Heavenly Emperor Sect’s Giant Sources. The combined power of these rays is terrifying!” The

more she looked, the more shocked she became.

In the past, Li Tianming might not have been able to simultaneously summon such destructive cosmic rays.

But now, Li Tianming’s Eye of Heaven Stealing had reached the eleventh level of Heavenly Fate Reincarnation!

The result of his and Lin Xiaoxiao’s joint efforts to open the Ancestral Emperor’s Tomb was now entirely at the mercy of the Eye of Heaven Stealing!
