Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7544

Chapter 7458: Breaking the Boundary

Since Li Tianming had already “visited” once, the Dao array barrier protecting the Huantian Emperor Clan’s collective cemetery posed no challenge to him this time.

It could be said that any Dao array at the small light-year level was practically as thin as paper under Li Tianming’s Heaven-Stealing Eye of the Eleventh Heavenly Fate Reincarnation.

After easily breaking through the gates of the entire Huantian Emperor Clan’s mausoleum, Li Tianming entered.

Within this vast mausoleum area, many tombstones were even small light-years or light-years in height.

These were traces left by the Huantian Emperor Clan over a very long period.

However, now, those powerful members of the Huantian Emperor Clan who should have reached the end of their lives or sacrificed themselves in a war, returning home in glory, were all reaping the consequences of their own malice towards Li Tianming.

They couldn’t blame anyone else; if they hadn’t targeted Li Tianming in the first place, none of this would have happened.

And now, Li Tianming traversed this densely packed mausoleum, filled with countless tombstones of powerful figures.

Beneath the void of cosmic stars, he could arrive completely undetected, silently.

From the Ancient Star Palace onward, Li Tianming’s figure had been concealed, and no one noticed him along the way.

Soon, Li Tianming arrived at the ancestral imperial mausoleum located deep within the tomb.

Having not set foot here for a long time, Li Tianming looked up and around. The ten towering pillars still stood tall.

These pillars were inscribed with dense Dao patterns, shimmering with a faint starlight.

They were all components of powerful Dao arrays at the light-year level. Even after Li Tianming’s continuous efforts to improve his Heaven-Stealing Technique, he didn’t even have the confidence to break them.

But now, Li Tianming came with absolute confidence.

The Illusionary Heavenly Emperor Clan were born geniuses in Dao arrays, and their method of creating the tomb’s Dao array was undoubtedly top-tier.

Therefore, unless one of the major clans within the Heavenly Emperor Sect used all its power to forcefully attack, virtually no one within the Heavenly Emperor’s territory could open this Dao array.

Of course, this did not include Li Tianming.

At this moment, Li Tianming had not only found all the keys, but his Heavenly Eye’s Reincarnation of Destiny had also advanced to the eleventh level. He even had two plans to unravel the Dao array!

Now, Li Tianming stared straight ahead, before him lay the tombstone of his ancestral imperial mausoleum.

Only then did he realize that this tombstone, ten light-years tall, was actually a wordless stele!

Although this giant tombstone was wordless, it possessed a majestic aura in the real universe, formed from countless fragments of starlight and Dao mineral meteorites, as if blended by some force, bursting forth with colorful rays of light suspended in the air.

Wisps of colorful mist swirled around it, like inescapable, intertwined threads.

Furthermore, countless Dao patterns were inscribed on the surface of the stele!

These Dao patterns were connected to the ten surrounding giant pillars, weaving and intertwining the top-tier sealing Dao array that enveloped the mausoleum, ultimately merging into a giant net composed of Dao arrays.

This Dao array was of extremely high rank and profoundly complex.

Each of the ten colossal pillars represents a Dao array, and the tombstone itself contains a core Dao array.

It’s safe to say that even a single glance at it would likely shock one’s soul.

Within this giant net, every node of the Dao array is interconnected. This means that even if a node is accidentally damaged, it will instantly be replaced by others—in other words, this Dao array possesses a self-healing ability!

Unless all the nodes are untied within an extremely short time, the entire Dao array can never be untied.

This is why Li Tianming, despite always successfully starting the Dao array, could never completely untie it!

This was a lesson learned the hard way; before his Eye of Heaven was powerful enough, he gave up after several attempts.

Now, however, Li Tianming is confident.

“With the Eye of Heaven’s Stealing of the Eleventh Heavenly Fate Reincarnation, I am fully capable of untying the connections between all the Dao arrays before the first one I untied ‘heals.’ In that case, the ‘Ten Directions Sacred Illusion Array’ will be virtually unrestricted for me,” Li Tianming thought to himself.

The name and characteristics of this array were actually learned by Aurora through Yin Chen’s inquiries before Wei Shendao handed over the tenth array ‘key’.

Now, beneath this tombstone ten light-years in size, even though Li Tianming’s strength had improved significantly and his body was enormous, the difference was still immense.

He didn’t want to use the key! He needed

to prevent any movement!

Without hesitation, he slowly reached out to touch the tombstone of this ancestral imperial mausoleum.

The instant they touched…

*hum*—at

that moment, all the colorful starlight, the engraved Dao patterns, and the swirling mist on the tombstone seemed to come alive!

They moved, as if sensing something, frantically surging towards Li Tianming’s palm. At

that moment, it felt as if a group of struggling little fish were in Li Tianming’s palm!

The Dao patterns, like the ends of silk threads, were firmly grasped by Li Tianming.

The gurgling sounds…

they were all trying to drive Li Tianming away by flicking their tail fins, but once they were actually used in Li Tianming’s hands, they were all weak and powerless, like a tickle.

Perhaps this array was originally very powerful, but now that Li Tianming’s Heaven-Stealing Hand had grasped its weak points, the components of this array could only obediently submit to his control.

At this moment, among these connection points of the array, Li Tianming patiently picked out some. With his eleventh level of Heaven-Stealing Eye, he could completely understand the connections between the Dao patterns, so doing this was not difficult.

The connection points of the array he picked out would not actually affect the stable structure of the entire array, but rather sever the connection between the ten imperial pillars and the tombstone, the array’s core, and destroy the ‘self-healing’ function that bothered him the most in this ‘Ten Directions Sacred Illusion Array’.

Li Tianming’s ultimate goal was to leave a ‘small door’ in the ancestral imperial tomb that would never close, allowing him to enter and exit easily!

This is also why he didn’t use the keys. If he used ten Dao array keys, the entire Dao array might collapse, easily alerting others.

However, Li Tianming now has the ability to break such a large Dao array linked together by more than one light-year Dao array, but this doesn’t mean the process will be quick.

Time slowly passed…

After a long time, Li Tianming finally finished his preparations and let out a long breath.

“This way, I don’t have to worry about causing any disturbance due to the seal being broken.” Li Tianming smiled slightly.

Immediately afterward, his left arm suddenly lashed back! *Whoosh! Whoosh!

Whoosh!*

A series of barely perceptible sounds, as if ten shrimp veins held in Li Tianming’s hand, were instantly and completely pulled away!

*Crack! Crack!*

At this moment, the connected light-year Dao array was instantly separated, no longer sharing the same rhythmic flow.

“It’s done!” Li Tianming thought with delight.

At this moment, a small grayish-white area beneath the tombstone shifted slightly.

Under the expectant gaze of Li Tianming and the others, this small grayish-white area suddenly trembled and shifted away,

revealing a small opening just large enough for Li Tianming to enter and exit.

This was something Li Tianming had painstakingly achieved; since the Dao array structure of the ‘Ten Directions Sacred Illusion Array’ had been destroyed, Li Tianming didn’t need to worry about the entrance being covered again.

With this, Li Tianming confidently and slowly stepped inside, completely unconcerned about the entrance being sealed.

Upon entering, Li Tianming discovered that within this opening were extremely large steps.

In the Guanzizai Realm, each step of these steps is a full two meters high. In the real universe, they are like countless parallel, superimposed star fields.

Under these circumstances, Li Tianming could only directly activate the power of the God of the Universe to cross these giant steps by flying.

During this process, Sui Shenyao asked curiously, “If the steps here are this big, how big must the actual tomb chamber be? According to the pattern of setting up tombstones in the Illusionary Heavenly Emperor Clan’s tombs, this Illusionary Heavenly Ancestor might be ten light-years in size, right?”

“It’s hard to say. Let’s just hope so. Only if it doesn’t exceed our limits can we completely resolve the future troubles this time.” Li Tianming’s gaze narrowed slightly, and he said with some caution.
