Beastmaster of the Ages

Chapter 2597 – Lin Feng Will Die

The Star Hunters continued gathering in groups. When they had fallen from the sky, they were scattered throughout the sun, so, without an astralship, that would take time. Meanwhile, the astral gods from Gladeus were transferred to the battlefield by astralship, which was much faster. Once the enemy gathered in a group exceeding five hundred people, the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb and the Reaper would immediately head to their location.

“It doesn’t matter if our attacks hit them. Let’s separate them first!”

In the newly formed ocean ahead, nearly five hundred astral gods had assembled. There were a large number of Star Hunters around, all headed in its direction. The Ninedragon Imperial Tomb plunged into the ocean, sending huge waves into the sky. Dragonrage Canon! Tens of thousands of times the power of the Divine Moon Realm exploded, forming a huge fireball that evaporated the vast ocean and shaking the earth. Now that there were no living beings outside the Sky Palace Formation, Tianming wasn’t afraid to fight like that. It would be terrible if Gladeus was infiltrated by a hundred thousand Star Hunters.

Attacks rained down. Even if astral gods were powerful and capable of resisting, there were still some who were weaker and failed to dodge in time. Those were burned to ashes, leaving about four hundred of them left who could only flee in embarrassment. They were terrified. Tianming specifically aimed at the crowds.

“Don’t even think about grouping together!”

The Ninedragon Imperial Tomb pounced on them. Even if it was slow, it was still powerful enough to deal with these Star Hunters who were mostly in the first to third astral phase. Tianming would have gone out to fight them if he weren’t afraid of their big boss; slaughtering them would be easy.

“It’s Lin Feng!”

“Him again!”

“Brothers, if we can kill him….”

“Forget it. That looks like an ether-class astralship!”

“Why does it look so much like the previous one? They’ve both got nine dragon heads.”

“Bullshit! They’re completely different.”

“Damn it! Why does the bastard own so many treasures?! He’s just over a hundred years old and already has an ether-class astralship?”

“Fuck! Fuck!”

“I don’t care. I’m going to give it a try!”

“There’s eyes everywhere! Even if we run, we’ll definitely die. We might as well fight!”

“I own an ether-class cosmic artifact. Maybe it’ll work.”

“Follow Commander Qi! He’s a cosmic cartographer. As long as we break into this astralship, Lin Feng will die!”

“Attack!”

There were quite a few beastmasters in the group. Without any hesitation, they had their lifebound beasts charge ahead of them, colliding with the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb. The beasts’ countless abilities bombarded the tomb’s shield, but they could only cause ripples.

The tomb was under siege. The lifebound beasts dragged down the nine dragon heads, a scene similar to the one where the flameyellow fiends attacked the Star Hunters’ astralship. However, their numbers were far from the army of flameyellow fiends.

“Nice one! I couldn’t hit you when you’re all far away. But now that you’ve all surrounded the tomb, there’s no way I’ll miss my targets even if my aim’s no good.” Although Tianming admired their fighting spirit, they were really digging their own graves. Out of several hundred astral gods, only six or seven could truly pose a threat to him. It was those few people that formed the biggest groups. The lifebound beasts and other astral gods were meant to mislead him—the cosmic cartographers were the ones who planned to deal a fatal blow. In their hands were ether-class cosmic artifacts. They hoped to blend in with the crowd to break into the tomb.

With the chaos on the battlefield, it was impossible for Tianming to locate them. However, Moran had fought advanced cosmic cartographers, like Lin Yun, and wasn’t afraid of them. In fact, Tianming was tempted to leave the ship and fight them head on. Of course, he could only think about it….

“Goodbye!”

The Star Hunters had underestimated the power of the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb. With Ji Ji’s abilities, the tomb was far more dangerous than the Reaper.

At that moment, nine dragons roared! Under Ji Ji’s control, the power of the ship’s compact nova source exploded. A bright light burst from the tomb and the Dragonrage Canon was unleashed once more. The lifebound beasts on the tomb were all living targets within easy reach. Blood splattered and corpses fell as a large number of Star Hunters were immediately annihilated like moths to a flame.

Throughout the entire process, Tianming could sense that the Whitedragon Silvermoon was under powerful attacks from the ether-class cosmic artifacts held by the cosmic cartographers, though they weren’t much of a challenge for the shield.

“A high-ether-class cosmic artifact might be able to break through the shield, but not a low-ether-class one!”

This was the high-ether-class tomb! Back then, not even Tianxi, who was ninth on the reges mundi ranking, was a match for the Phantavoid.

“Break!”

Tianming couldn’t do anything to the powerful cosmic cartographers with just an astralship, but Moran could. However, Tianming wasn’t planning on asking her to take action; he was going for bigger fish. So he let the cosmic cartographers escape and went after the other astral gods himself. In fact, the tomb’s hit rate would be greatly reduced if they just dispersed like a swarm of bees.

“Astralships aren’t omnipotent. It’s just like driving a boat to hit small fish in the sea. It’s useless if the fish aren’t together!” At the very least, a school of fish couldn’t eat the people on board the boat. Even if it were a shark, it would have to tear the boat apart.

After dispersing the Star Hunters, Tianming left them to the astral gods from Gladeus, taking advantage of their small numbers to deal with them one by one. Then he rushed to the next large gathering.

“As they say, it’s better not to gather in big groups in extraordinary times. One should go when it’s time to leave!”

Tianming worked continuously for several days. Not even he knew how many people he had scattered. Over the past few days, the number of Star Hunters sharply dropped at an alarming rate.

“The bastard must be anxious.”

He arrived at yet another gathering. This time, there were more than two thousand people, and they were ready to fight to the death. It was originally the Reaper’s job to disperse the group, but Tianming had decided to head over when he heard that there were so many people. Without a word, Lin Xiaodao and Wudi quietly approached the group as well.

“Be careful. There’s a lot of cosmic cartographers among this group of people. They’re the elite. There should be more than two hundred of them,” Lin Xiaodao warned.

“Got it!”

After some contemplation, Wudi and Lin Xiaodao decided to show up elsewhere so these people might receive a signal if they were planning something.

Tianming used the same trick on the crowd, that is, the Dragonrage Canon!
