Beastmaster of the Ages

Chapter 3202 - The Master of the Minotaur is Me

Huang Daosheng immediately realized Tianming's truly terrifying aspect: his countless methods!

After the intense divine ability bombardment, Tianming's grand lexicon wonder arranged itself into various sentences, wrapping around Huang Daosheng's head, limbs, and cosmic charts. Huang Daosheng mobilized the power of his order to attack Tianming, but it did as much as a stone sinking into the sea.

"What?" His order was ineffective, but the grand lexicon wonder made him so uncomfortable that he almost vomited blood. He was experiencing hundreds of different bindings and various rules tormenting him, making him feel very stifled.

The Grand-Orient Sword in Tianming's hand split into two, and both swords slashed out as Tianming appeared in front of Huang Daosheng, exhibiting other qualities now: elegance, grace, and speed.

Tianming’s movement was fast, but the sword in his hand was even faster. The spacetime sword art of two generations of rex mundi from the Infinitum Mundus wasn't very high grade, but its special attributes suited the twin swords. And the Grandvoid Universum and Infinitum Spatium totems were also perfect for guiding the eruption of the two great sword arts.

Grandvoid Compendium, From Seas to Fields!

Xiaozhi Sword Art, Tristrike Worldshatter!

Huang Daosheng was completely enveloped in the spacetime distortion of Tianming’s sword light and he let out a low growl.

"Break!" Huang Daosheng used his arm as a weapon, punching out. Specters chose to use their bodies like cosmic artifacts, as it was innately easier to manipulate the body than external weapons, allowing more flexibility, speed, and fierceness.

Therefore, to specters, Tianming was indeed a monster. Although he used swords, he could wield them as easily as his fists, neutralizing specters' greatest advantages in close combat. Huang Daosheng’s explosive punch neared Tianming's sword speed. And his fist, which carried the destructive power of the underworld had an advantage over Tianming in raw power.

Fist met sword, their collison producing golden sparks.

Huang Daosheng's punch was indeed fierce, breaking the momentum of Tianming's From Seas to Fields. The fist parried the Grand-Orient Sword, creating a gap. In that contest, Huang Daosheng seemed to have gained a slight advantage. Thus, the specters couldn't help but cheer for him.

But their cheers lasted only a moment, because people saw that Tianming didn't just have one sword this time. At the moment the From Seas to Fields was broken, his golden Grand-Orient Sword, with the power of Tristrike Worldshatter, struck with lightning speed at Huang Daosheng's chest.

As the sword moved, the world shattered in its wake. The oppression of space, in coordination with the grand lexicon wonder, erupted in front of Huang Daosheng!

The golden Grand-Orient Sword ran through Huang Daosheng's chest. Golden light spurted from his chest and he miserably screamed, retreating from Tianming and pulling away from the Grand-Orient Sword.

However, his heptastar organs had been injured in the exchange, and the bloody hole in his chest was an extremely eye-catching testament of his defeat at Tianming’s hands. Fortunately for him, the injury hadn't caused the myriadpath ring to judge him as defeated.

Huang Daosheng's lion face twisted and he stared dead at Tianming, eyes full of hatred and resentment.

"Huang Daosheng, what’re you playing at?" Prompted by the Yumo Yuanni, Reverend Daolie had to angrily shout to remind him.

In truth, Huang Daosheng could have used the Kilopath Net from the start, but he didn't. Clearly, he wanted to prove that, with his true strength, he wouldn't necessarily lose to Tianming, who once upon a time could only flee for his life in front of him.

But reality told Huang Daosheng that he had already been trampled under Tianming's feet. The pain of the sword in his chest, his father's reminder, and the helpless gazes of a group of specters behind him.... At that moment, his anger erupted.

"Li Tianming! You’re ultimately just a rootless person from an outer mundi! No matter how high you climb, your only end is a miserable death! Better to die early than late. I, Huang Daosheng, will send you on your way today!"

He had already taken out the Kilopath Net and infused it with his power. The golden-red giant net flew out, turning into dazzling divine light that covered the entire battlefield.

"Kilopath Net!" Millions of eyes widened and hearts suddenly tensed. Many had anticipated the scene, but when it truly came, everyone was still nervous. Tianming had come so far; who would hope that his future would end there? They could only believe that he had dared to come up because he had something to rely on.

However, people clearly saw that after the Kilopath Net appeared, it violently contracted, directly locking Tianming in and leaving no escape path. Tianming's Grand-Orient Sword struck the Kilopath Net, only to make sparks but be unable to tear it apart.

In a life and death struggle, the Kilopath Net rapidly contracted. It took just moments for it to completely adhere itself to Tianming, turning into tens of thousands of golden chains that bound him like Demoness Yin’s Bloodweaver.

The time was ripe! Seeing the scene, Huang Daosheng's heart raced with wild joy.

"Die!" Huang Daosheng didn't dare waste any time, because he knew that even a moment's hesitation could allow House Suishen to come and save Tianming. Defeating Tianming meant nothing—only by killing him would everything be settled.

Huang Daosheng’s heart was in his throat as he lunged toward the bound Tianming, intending to turn him into a pile of mincemeat.

The Ascension Colosseum echoed with countless exclamations as many humans widened their eyes and shouted.

"Don't kill him!"

"Despicable!"

Huang Daosheng’s purpose in using a cosmic artifact loaned by an eminent was too obvious, and indeed too shameless. But all that mattered was that Yumo Yuanni would be happy.

Huang Daosheng roared. Just when he was sure that Tianming would die, he suddenly saw that, within the Kilopath Net, Tianming not only had no fear, but instead strangely smiled at Huang Daosheng. The strange smile made Huang Daosheng's scalp tingle.

"What?!" Tianming's expression clearly told Huang Daosheng that he was the one about to suffer! He couldn't understand.

But there was no need for him to think more. Tianming looked behind him, and Huang Daosheng sensed a deadly threat from behind.

"That metal lifebound beast!" Huang Daosheng was terrified.

He recalled how, at the beginning of the battle, Tianming had let Yin Chen come out of the lifebound space. But then it had merely stood in the corner without intervening. Huang Daosheng had been wary at first, but as he was crushed by Tianming and his mind collapsed, he forgot about the latent danger.

However, when he remembered it, he wasn't too scared. After all, it was just a lifebound beast. With Tianming bound by the Kilopath Net, what could it do? Huang Daosheng roared to bolster his courage, unafraid.

Then he saw a crimson eye on Tianming's palm.

Vitasteal made eerie blood light flood into Huang Daosheng's mind, making his mind shut down.

A single Yin Chen was nothing. But when paired with soul confusion, a single Yin Chen could become a fatal threat.

Yin Chen transformed into a metal mantis, bringing a whirl of blades from behind at lightning speed.

The pain startled Huang Daosheng awake, but it was too late. His back was sliced open, both arms were cut off, and a slash on his neck sent his lion head flying, crashing in front of Tianming.

It was a severe injury. Huang Daosheng had no strength left to maintain the Kilopath Net's binding and the net fell from Tianming. With such an injury, his myriadpath ring naturally judged him as defeated.

The battle seemed to have ended with Huang Daosheng's lion head still rolling on the ground, continuously wailing. The reversal was too great, leaving millions of cultivators speechless and once again in awe of Tianming.

However, had the battle truly ended? For Tianming, it was just the beginning.

As the Kilopath Net fell away, he instantly appeared in front of Huang Daosheng, wielding the twin Grand-Orient Swords. In full view of the crowd, he ignored Huang Daosheng's screams and mercilessly struck down.

“Li Tianming, you!” Huang Daosheng's voice was shrill, desperate, and sorrowful.

His screams only accelerated Tianming's sword. Before Huang Daosheng could finish screaming, his brain was already skewered and his body had been destroyed by Yin Chen. All twelve of his cosmic charts were quickly obliterated by Ying Huo, Meow Meow, and Xian Xian.

“Li Tianming!!” Huang Daosheng's desperate wails slowly faded along with his astrons.

A gold ring prospective eminent had just died at the hands of Tianming in front of countless spectators.

In the moment before Huang Daosheng died, Tianming suddenly whispered in his ear, "Huang Daosheng, that minotaur that stole your order fragment and beat you up—his master was me!"

"What?" Huang Daosheng's expression at that moment twisted to the extreme. It was the most miserable expression!

"Unbelievable, right? I used your order fragment to break through another level. If it weren't for that, I wouldn't have been able to kill you now," Tianming laughed.

Huang Daosheng died in utter despair.
