Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7646

Chapter 7561: Change of Nature

Inside the Myriad Sects Imperial Tower.

“What? This is impossible!” Jing Xiang nearly jumped up from his chair.

“He eliminated both of them?” Ji Ziling’s eyes widened slightly, almost incredulous. “These are geniuses from two inner-border member states! Doesn’t this mean his talent and strength are completely comparable to the geniuses the inner-border states sent into the Myriad Sects Imperial Battle?”

Just a moment ago, Jing Xiang and the others were waiting for the spectacle of Li Tianming being eliminated by the Qian Huan Chi Luan brothers.

But now, both Jing Xiang and Ji Ziling’s pupils trembled, utterly shocked!

The Heavenly Emperor of Myriad Realms looked at Mirror Image with a half-smile and asked, “What, are you not convinced of your defeat?”

Mirror Image trembled slightly upon hearing this, then slowly leaned back in his chair. He regained his composure and said, “This boy is indeed incredibly talented. Even my two grandsons are no match for him. He won this battle beautifully.”

“The outer regions are vast; it seems there are hidden gems, and even small sects can produce great miracles. This Li Tianming is a rare talent,” Ji Ziling suddenly remarked with some emotion.

Mirror Image exchanged a glance with the Heavenly Emperor of Myriad Realms, then raised his eyes and asked, “Your Highness, is he really from an unknown small sect?”

“Indeed, the sect called ‘Li Clan Heavenly Emperor Sect’ only ranked in the middle among tens of thousands of sects in the Ten Thousand Sects Emperor War, meaning they couldn’t even pass the first round of selection,” Ji Ziling said slowly.

“Is it possible that he is also the work of some inner-region affiliated country?” Mirror Image’s gaze narrowed slightly.

“The possibility is not high. After all, the others in that team are genuinely weak. If they were arranged to come in, they shouldn’t be treated so ‘lowly’,” Ji Ziling said, her brows furrowed slightly as she pondered.

Jing Xiang sighed slightly upon hearing this, “I didn’t expect that our plan, which was only focused on cultivating relationships behind the inner-field geniuses and following the established rules to ensure strong teams held back, would be ruined by this so-called ‘outer-field gem.’”

“Who could have predicted this?” The Myriad Realms Heavenly Emperor shook his head helplessly with a smile.

In reality, to smoothly enter the Republic of the Divine Heaven, all the geniuses arranged by the inner-field to participate in the Myriad Sects Emperor Battle would proactively exchange information, and most would know each other. The result of this was that if they encountered each other, the losing side would be given a Qianfeng Ring, preserving their chance to participate.

However, Li Tianming was neither an inner-field genius nor did he know any other inner-field geniuses.

“I must say, he’s quite bold. Even among the geniuses of the inner regions, there’s a degree of restraint. And for the geniuses of the outer regions, let alone the fact that they’re no match for the inner regions, even if they were to win, they probably wouldn’t dare to eliminate them with deadly force…” Ji Ziling said slowly.

At the same time, her gaze fell upon Jing Xiang and the Myriad Realms Heavenly Emperor.

Their expressions remained unchanged, seemingly unaffected except for the initial surprise of the battle’s end. The

difference in strength between inner and outer region geniuses was practically a catastrophic gap. In reality, even if a team with an inner region genius lost to another powerful team, they wouldn’t necessarily lose their chance to compete.

Under normal circumstances, if they demonstrated their excellence in the battle, and even in defeat they could achieve honor, they would attract the attention of important figures in the Republic of the Divine Heaven. Even if they lost their treasures to their opponents, the Qianfeng Ring would still be there, allowing them to reacquire some treasures before the Myriad Realms Emperor War ended, thus securing that slim but still existing opportunity.

Therefore, mutual restraint is the established custom among the inner-border member states…

However, this custom clearly has no effect on Li Tianming, an outsider. Qianhuan Chiluan and Qianhuan Zhanlan’s originally planned promotion paths were thus ruined by Li Tianming. It’s impossible for Jingxiang to be completely convinced.

At this moment, Emperor Qianfeng’s gaze suddenly turned to Ji Ziling beside him.

Ji Ziling seemed to sense something, and subtly turned slightly towards Emperor Qianfeng.

“Trying to recruit him?”

Emperor Qianfeng’s voice rang in her ear.

Ji Ziling’s eyes showed a hint of surprise upon hearing this. She glanced at the Myriad Realms Heavenly Emperor and Jingxiang present, then said softly, “It’s quite a coincidence that Xiaoyue is traveling with him. He has indeed greatly exceeded my expectations. Given this situation, he might actually be noticed by the people of the Republic of the Divine Heaven, and perhaps a good relationship can be formed.”

“Do you think he has the potential to join forces with that girl and fight his way out of so many carefully selected and placed teams with their combined abilities?” Emperor Qianfeng smiled slightly.

“It’s not impossible. He has already taken care of the entire Myriad Realms Eternal Empire’s team, hasn’t he?” Ji Ziling’s eyes flickered slightly as she slowly said, “Moreover, Xiaoyue hasn’t even used her full strength yet. Their potential is far higher than that of the Myriad Realms Eternal Empire’s team.”

“So, you want to make contact with him, is that right?” Emperor Qianfeng asked calmly.

“I do have that idea, but I’m not sure yet,” Ji Xuanjian said, slightly hesitant. “If I do that, the Eternal Empire of Myriad Realms will definitely be unhappy. After all, they might still cause trouble for Li Tianming. If we interfere, the nature of the situation changes.”

Emperor Qianfeng smiled and slowly said, “Don’t worry about them. Where there’s competition, there’s rivalry. You know, unspoken rules aren’t recognized by any authority. They’re maintained entirely by individual conscience. Besides, this second round has only just begun.”

Ji Ziling nodded slowly, understanding his meaning.

After that, she rose from her seat and bowed slightly to the guests and Emperor Qianfeng, saying, “Father, His Majesty of Myriad Realms and Elder Jingxiang, I have some matters to attend to and will take my leave.”

“Go ahead,” Emperor Qianfeng waved.

“Yes, I’ll take my leave now,” Ji Ziling nodded and slowly walked out of the Myriad Sects Battle Hall.

…

Meanwhile, inside the Myriad Sects Battle Hall.

Gui Jin was originally prepared to laugh as Li Tianming was eliminated.

After Li Tianming made his move and fought the Qianhuan and Zhanlan brothers to a standstill, his eyes turned to shock.

However, this shock didn’t last long before Li Tianming eliminated both of his opponents at the Evolution Realm.

Gui Jin and Gui Chen’s emotions also fluctuated, and they were unable to calm down for a while.

“This Li Tianming can’t even subdue an Inner Frontier genius?” Gui Jin’s eyes widened first, then he seemed to remember something and chuckled, “Even in the competition between Inner Frontier geniuses, they don’t go to extremes, but you, Li Tianming, eliminated two Inner Frontier figures? You don’t know the meaning of death.”

Hidden rules are a common understanding among many powerful sects, and Li Tianming’s actions undoubtedly broke those rules.

Qianhuan Lingyi, whose face was initially icy cold due to the elimination of her three daughters, now showed a hint of mocking smile, as if melting snow.

She smiled and said slowly, “You even dared to eliminate someone from the Eternal Empire of Myriad Realms? Your sect leader is probably going to cry now. He never expected that the genius he had painstakingly nurtured would get into such a big mess. The sect might even be destroyed because of this kid…”
