Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7495

Chapter 7409: Silver Sea Star Sect

*Pfft!*

Xi Cheng coughed up star blood, nearly dying. Behind his Astral Shield, the other three Astral Divine Weapons held him back, seemingly trying to forcefully block Li Tianming’s sword strike.

However, the result was that his body cracked, with more and more cracks bursting with starlight, his Cosmic God body almost falling apart.

Finally!

*Whoosh*

—A golden light appeared, instantly enveloping Xi Cheng’s entire body.

His will to survive was extremely strong, and coupled with his severe injuries, he fulfilled the condition.

So, at the moment his Cosmic God body was about to explode, the Super Star Battlefield eliminated him directly, sending him out of the Super Star Battlefield!

Li Tianming loosened his grip, and the sword strike, not yet fully unleashed, struck empty air.

*Boom!

* This star field, like a natural mini-arena, split in two in an instant, with an extremely long chasm appearing in the middle.

Li Tianming was somewhat surprised, “They’re out already?”

“Perhaps because it wasn’t a completely overwhelming attack, we couldn’t hold them back. But we don’t really need to. If we really killed them, although it’s normal in the Ten Thousand Sects Emperor War, it would still be considered creating an unnecessary feud,” Aurora said slowly.

Li Tianming understood, of course. Although these two had come to him, they didn’t actually have any grudge against him; this was just normal competition.

Even if they hadn’t come after him, Li Tianming would still need to find opponents to improve his Star Ranking.

After Xi Cheng was sent out of the Super Star Battlefield, the golden star on his forehead remained.

Li Tianming took a slight step forward, and the golden star automatically came towards him, slowly settling on his forehead.

Including the golden star that Li Tianming originally possessed, the two golden stars now coexisted, without increasing in size; they remained the same size on Li Tianming’s forehead.

“Thank goodness, thank goodness. If the more people were eliminated, the bigger this thing would become. By the later stages of the first round of battle, everyone would probably be carrying a giant star.” Li Tianming said with some relief.

That kind of scene was truly unthinkable, too terrifying!

At this moment, another person present was almost dumbfounded.

“How is this possible? This is a third-tier Saint Emperor! How could he be defeated by a mere Heavenly Venerable?”

“Just who is this person?”

Xi Ran asked in a daze.

Only then did Li Tianming turn his gaze to Xi Ran beside him. He said calmly, “You two had a chance to join forces earlier, but you didn’t. Now you still have a chance to defeat me. Come on, do you want me to make a move, or will you offer up your golden star yourself?”

Xi Ran snapped out of her daze. Facing Li Tianming, she smiled and bowed politely, saying, “I think we don’t necessarily need to fight to the death. I already know you’re strong. Perhaps we have other ways to resolve our conflict.”

“Stop talking nonsense. I don’t have time to listen to your ramblings,” Li Tianming frowned and urged. “Since you won’t hand it over yourself, I’ll have to take action.”

“Senior brother, don’t be in such a hurry,” Xi Ran said with a smile. “My status in the sect is still acceptable. If you don’t eliminate me this time, we can still join forces. If we find other star group participants from our sect in the future, you’ll have more chances of survival and be able to smoothly enter the next round.”

“Heh, an extra layer of protection? If I find someone from your sect, I’m afraid you’ll all join forces to kill me right away. Do you think I’m stupid? Besides, you have someone from your sect, but don’t I? Why should I cooperate with you?” Li Tianming sneered.

Of course, if Li Tianming really encountered someone from the Li Clan Heavenly Emperor Sect, the only one he could reliably cooperate with was his brother-in-law.

“How could that be? I’m clear about gratitude and resentment. Although you eliminated Xi Cheng, if you escort me next, I think your contribution to my sect outweighs your fault. We’re all reasonable people, and you’ll only benefit from it.” Xi Ran said with a smile, “I’m a disciple of the ‘Silver Sea Star Sect,’ and everyone in the sect is a respected figure who never bullies others. You do have teammates, that’s true, but we were ranked in the top 100 of the previous Ten Thousand Sect Emperor Battle, a super sect from the outer borders. We’re not even in the same league.”

“How strong your sect is is none of my business,” Li Tianming chuckled.

At this moment, Xi Ran seemed impatient. Her face darkened. “Don’t push your luck. You should know there are differences between sects from the outer regions. If you dare to eliminate me, I will find out who you are, and your sect will suffer!”

Li Tianming laughed upon hearing this. He said, “No need to investigate. I can tell you directly that I come from the Li Clan Heavenly Emperor Sect, and my name is Li Tianming. Whatever methods you want to use, do as you please, but I will accept this golden star.”

After speaking, Li Tianming directly raised his hand and swung his sword.

Shattering the Dao and Splitting the Laws!

This sword technique, honed by Li Tianming over countless years, had become perfect, though it lacked practical application.

Boom!

In an instant, endless danger enveloped Xi Ran. She had no time to use any means and could only frantically send the thought of withdrawing from the battle through her mind at that critical moment, her face pale.

“Ah!!!”

However, even so, one of her arms was severed by Li Tianming’s Eastern Emperor Sword.

Only after that did a golden light envelop her, seemingly teleporting her outside the battlefield.

“Li Tianming! You’ll regret this!”

Her voice echoed through the cosmos near Li Tianming in the final moments before she left.

“Who cares about you!” Li Tianming rolled his eyes, then his eyes lit up again. “You’ve got quite a few golden stars for those sycophants.”

At that moment, five small star points remained before Li Tianming!

These star points slowly circled around Li Tianming’s head, eventually merging into the single star point on his forehead.

“Looks like they just encountered four opponents. They’re really efficient. We’ve been searching for so long and haven’t found any, and the only two they found came to us of their own accord,” Sui Shenyao exclaimed in surprise.

Meanwhile, the number of golden stars Li Tianming had accumulated jumped from one to seven in an instant!

“Seven star points should be enough to get on the list, right?” Li Tianming suddenly looked up at the star rankings.

In an instant, his name appeared, clearly placing him within the top ten thousand of the first round of the Myriad Sects Emperor Battle Star Group!

However, the rankings are constantly changing, and even with seven golden stars, Li Tianming can’t be said to be guaranteed a spot in the next round.

“To truly maintain a place in the top ten thousand and advance to the next round, in terms of absolute strength, it’s actually quite difficult!” Aurora said coldly. “Our acquisition of several golden stars this time also involved an element of luck.”

Of course, not the luck of winning, but the luck of encountering so many golden stars at once.
