Beastmaster of the Ages

Tianming's lifebound beasts were being swamped with strikes, totems, and totemic calamities. They were injured all over, but none of that was able to stop Tianming. Then, at the critical moment, Prince Fengyue joined the fray.

Like a wild storm, he charged in front of Tianming and the first attack he unleashed made a bloody hole in Lan Huang. At the same time, near a hundred sixth-level ascendants gathered around him.

"The rest of you, stay a distance away and only attack with ranged weapons and totems!" Prince Fengyue coordinated their attack effort and didn't let Tianming disrupt their formation. "Let's destroy that tree first!"

He could immediately tell that Xian Xian was the core to their fighting formation as it was able to neutralize many of the dangers Tianming had faced in almost an instant. At the same time, the Evernight Curse and Trisoul Fiendsong's effects had begun setting in. Prince Fengyue could feel that his totems were affected and that he had lost some power as a result.

"Understood!"

Countless totemic calamities, arrows, and throwing knives were flung at Xian Xian. Some even daringly charged to the tree and cut at the flowers themselves. As the tree was huge, it was easy to attack. All of that made it rather tough for Tianming. As Xian Xian's leaves and branches were continuously hacked away, not even the Greenspark Tower's recovery could make up for all that was lost.

It hurts! Though it was scared, it didn't dare to make a sound as Tianming and the others were fully occupied with Prince Fengyue and the rest.

"Don't be afraid, Little Sis! Chicken Bro is here!" Ying Huo left Tianming's side as a stream of flames and pierced through the chests of one divine moonrace fighter after another, leaving a bloody hole in each of them. "Anyone that tries to bully my sister shall die!"

Ying Huo's eyes were burning as it used Death Inferno and generated thousands of clones that all shot out scorching feathers, piercing many more divine moonrace through their eye sockets and causing waves of deaths. It forced Prince Fengyue to send away two tenth-level ascendants to deal with it alone, though that was fine since he had wanted to kill Tianming's lifebound beasts in the first place.

"What are you resisting for? You're destined to die anyway. Li Tianming, have your lifebound beasts stop struggling and stretch their heads out for us to behead!" Things were turning out to be a little more troublesome than the prince had originally expected.

"Can you not bother with your dastardly tricks? So much for the vaunted divine moonrace. You're just cowards who don't even dare to fight one on one. All you do is force others to do the killing for you. You can't even stand getting your hands dirty. Prince Fengyue, you really are trash. Your position among the elites of the divine moonrace really says a lot about how much so-called 'superior lifeforms' like you can amount to. You really are nothing but pathetic cowards," Tianming mocked. He looked down on people like this the most.

Those words caused Prince Fengyue to blush so deeply that his ears turned red. He had always prized his image as a refined person, and he wouldn't stand those insults. The one who forced Tianming to use his lifebound beasts was him, yet now he was asking Tianming to order his beasts to stop fighting. Despite being a member of the mighty divine moonrace, he could do nothing but use the lives of innocents to threaten the brat. If anything, that was a pathetic display of powerlessness.

"I'm already putting my life and the lives of my partners on the line, yet you don't even have the courage to face me in combat and prefer to have your goons die for you instead. You seriously expect me to believe you when you claim to be the superior lifeform? Do you even hear what you're saying? Don't make me laugh, you superior cowards! You're nothing but glorified security guards to maintain the order of the continent, and you can't even do that right! On the sun, you're nothing but lowly dogs! Your sense of superiority is only good on the Welkin plane. What else can you do? With how cowardly you are, I'm not the least bit surprised your whole fucking family died!"

Tianming's repeated insults were one thing, but bringing up his dead family crossed the line for Prince Fengyue. "Die!"

He no longer cared about getting Tianming's lifebound beasts to stop fighting. In fact, asking Tianming to bring his lifebound beasts out was suicide in the first place. The fact that he didn't even dare to join the fight and had others do the fighting for him did seem rather embarrassing in retrospect, as was reflected by the looks on the faces of the others when they heard Tianming's tirade of insults. They were all proud people, and none of them could stand being talked down to like that.

With Prince Fengyue leading them, nearly a hundred elites along with their five hundred plus totems came down on Tianming like a tidal wave, but they focused on his lifebound beasts instead of him.

Beside Tianming were Lan Huang and Meow Meow in its Regal Chaosfiend form. They flanked his sides like his left and right hands, taking most of the brunt of the attacks for him. Prince Fengyue's totems were the most eye-catching in front of them. They looked really unique, even among weapon totems. Three of them were sword-wheels, while the other three were blade-wheels. They were called that because they were actually formed from six swords whose hilts were linked together to form the spokes of a wheel, and the same applied to the blade-wheels. As six swords or blades were linked together as one unit, they counted as one totem rather than six, or he would be known as someone who had thirty-six totems.

The sword-wheels were windgod wheels, while the blade-wheels were moongod wheels, and the two characters, Feng for wind and Yue for moon, made up the prince's title. Collectively, they were known as the Fengyue Godwheels.

Prince Fengyue himself wielded a sword and a blade, called Windgod and Moonshade respectively. He flared with the power of an eleventh-level ascendant as he used blade and sword arts with his wheels. Coupled with the might of nearly a hundred sixth-level ascendants and their totems behind him, he forged forward with enough force to reshape landscapes.

Meow Meow immediately used its lightning abilities to bombard them, but it didn't even make a dent in their formation. Prince Fengyue also managed to deflect some of them as he charged straight for Meow Meow. It was finally Prince Fengyue's turn to throw himself into the fray; it had been a long time since he personally did any fighting, but this time around, he would exact revenge for his family himself. He would conquer this arrogant and naive youth!
