Beastmaster of the Ages

the next time they try making corpse puppets.
I ’ll no longer have a chance to deal with this worm in the future! Let ’s give it one last best effort! ”

”Alright! ”

The worm didn ’t move very quickly, giving Tianming ample time to react.
”Ling ’er, Temporal Lock! ”

”On it! ” With how well synchronized they were, Feiling didn ’t really need to hear him say it to know who to use Temporal Lock and Millennium Fort on.

Meanwhile, Crimson Bloodfiend was still firing arrows away, each one stronger than the last and all aimed at Tianming ’s head and heart.
They had almost hit him many times, so Tianming gave chase.
His wings flapped; while the wings ’ maximum speed couldn ’t compare to Meow Meow ’s, they were better when it came to initial acceleration and it only took a moment for him to reach her.
It was now her turn to be temporally locked.

”Trying to chase me? ” She smirked and turned into a bloody blur as she charged higher up into the skies, ramming through fifty-one Spatial Walls in the process and ending up quite hurt.
The key was that Feiling’s Temporal Lock made the speed she was so confident in useless.

”That ’s right, I ’m chasing you alright! ” Tianming slapped his chest and caused the Dragonhide to manifest.
The armor ’s most potent effect wasn ’t the defense it offered him, but rather the boost to his capability he got while wearing it.
Coupled with Spiritual Attachment, it was even more potent.
He executed Animacorpus Eradication, his sword basically unblockable.

”Die! ” Crimson Bloodfiend shot arrows rapidly, knowing that evasion wasn’t an option.
Within an instant, a thousand bloody arrows rained down on Tianming.
However, he cleared a path with the sword of hungry ghosts, striking away the arrows that would have been fatal while ignoring the others.

”Who ’s the one dying now? ” Tianming ’s black sword came slashing wildly as the light the Dragonhide gave off intensified.
His sword was pushed through her chest by boundless sword ki.

”You— ” Before she could finish, her head was lopped off.
Crimson Bloodfiend was dead for good.

”Farewell. ”

Tianming pulled out the three arrows that had struck his shoulder and charged down.
The armor that shimmered in the sunlight made him look like Great Emperor Xuanyuan ’s reincarnation.
He turned to his last remaining foe, Timber Woodchild, who couldn ’t keep up with him when he was chasing Crimson Bloodfiend down.
By the time she could react to the rapid change, Feiling used Temporal Lock on her and sealed off her paths with Millennium Fort to force her apart from Crimson Bloodfiend.
By the time she finally made her way close to Tianming, her sister was already killed, joining the other three.

Lifebound beasts aside, three of the five wraiths had already been killed, leaving only Timber Woodchild and the injured Goldspirit Ghoulmount behind.
That fact completely infuriated her.
She opened her arms wide and glared at Tianming, causing the ten thousand corpse puppets on her tree to stop attacking Xian Xian and surround her.
All the female corpse puppets stared daggers at Tianming.

”They were all geniuses who were at the most beautiful age of their lives.
After meeting me, I made them part of me.
They’re now part of who I am, ” she said with a devious smile.

”So? What’re you trying to say? ” Tianming raised his swords and went on a rampage.
He had been ramping up the pace of battle since the nightmare soulworm started making its move.

”I ’ve seen far too many so-called geniuses.
I don ’t believe that people around your age can actually singlehandedly shake the world! ” By now, Timber Woodchild’s ego had already collapsed.
Her title of genius had been taken over by Li Caiwei, but she didn ’t really mind it back then.
However, she definitely wouldn ’t tolerate a youth in his twenties surpassing her!

”I don ’t care if you believe it or not.
Face the facts, ” Tianming said with a smirk.
He came charging down from the skies with swords raised high.
The armor glowed as if there were five dragons nosediving like meteors.
All of a sudden, everything changed.
Tianming didn ’t need to look to know that the nightmare soulworm was finally here.

”Big Brother…. ” Tianming felt a little numb, but Feiling’s head hurt badly.

”Hold on, Ling ’er! ” Tianming glanced at the worm using his peripheral vision and saw it coiling up into a spiral.
The countless eyes on its body gathered together into a single large composite eye, causing a grey mist to manifest.

Tianming then recalled seeing the Archaionfiend Eye in Xian Xian ’s dream.
Even though it was on a different level, this one was just as terrifying.
This was the nightmare worm ’s ability, Hell ’s Eye, also known as Hell ’s Gate.

The skies darkened as grey mist filled the surroundings.
Now, the eye looked like it was hanging from the skies as if the heavens were looking down on them.

”What a terrifying ability that confuses the soul! ” Tianming wasn ’t that badly affected by it, but Feiling seemed to have been knocked out cold.
Apart from Spiritual Attachment ’s effect still remaining, the Celestial Wings, Temporal Field, and Spatial Walls all stopped working.
She was in a confused state within his body, her consciousness slowly waning.
