Beastmaster of the Ages

With nine dragonsprings in hand, the Saintdragon Emperor and the rest had finally managed to activate the Aeonic Infinidragon Formation! When the divine celestial patterns appeared across the mountains, the battlefield was completely illuminated. The divine radiance seemed to purify the ground that was littered with blood and corpses! The ground began undulating like waves as dirt, boulders, and rocks began rising.

The light had come from the Myriaddragon Mountains behind the army of celestial orderians. The mountains there all looked like dragons flying skyward. At that moment, all of them were covered in divine celestial patterns. The many buildings across the mountains, symbols of Xuanyuan Dragon Sect's ancient heritage, began sinking into the mountains themselves as dragon scales and spikes appeared all over the mountains, making them resemble actual dragons! Their roars shook all the rest of the mountains as they began to move and fly about like unsealed beasts!

The sky was filled with ten thousand dragons, each of them a mountain peak in and of itself; they were far larger than Ying Huo and the rest. The radiant patterns on their bodies made them resemble the dragon golems within the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb, but they were countless times larger. Even the totems of the celestial orderians looked like nothing but toys and were easily crushed. Despite the spectacle, this was only a part of the Aeonic Infinidragon Formation. The formation spirit threads were even more impressive!

Right after the mountains changed, the Sworddragon Ocean Purgatory opened up. All kinds of divine hazards began flooding the battlefield, compounding the nightmare of the celestial orderians. The formation had completely surrounded the battlefield, so there was no escape. Within it, they had to contend with Tianming, the hundred thousand Dragon Imperials, the Ninedragon Army, and the seventy million allies and their lifebound beasts! The celestial orderians' pride and undying determination had been completely replaced by despair and suffering. This was a huge blow to their spirit as a race, a shock far worse than the news of the defeats of Li Haochen and Li Shenjian.

The Saintdragon Emperor started making an announcement, broadcasting his voice through the formation. "Everyone, the celestial orderians have invaded the Myriad Solar Sects' territory and harmed the people of our sect. They attempted to take our homes and crush our spirits! Now is the perfect time to give them a fatal blow! Otherwise, when the sun emperor arrives, they'll definitely think they can turn the tables and exterminate us! If we don't wipe them out here and now, none of us will stand a chance! We've crossed the point of no return, so let's slaughter them all!"

The mere mention of the sun emperor was enough to startle everyone, even those from the Myriad Solar Sects. Now that they had struck, they would be lumped in together with the Xuanyuan Dragon Sect as the enemy of the celestial orderians. There was no turning back, so the optimal thing to do now was to slaughter as many celestial orderians as they could to mitigate the impact of their certain counterattack. The celestial orderians were too easy to pick out from the crowd, as they were all totemancers—none of them could be allowed to escape.

As the ten thousand mountain dragons rammed into the battlefield, countless gobbets of flesh were strewn all over the place. The celestial orderians were helpless and surrounded, then slaughtered one after the other. For every one of them, there were six enemies to fight them. Those that encountered the hundred thousand Dragon Imperials died even faster. They immediately tried escaping as the slaughter continued. When they saw their comrades fall, even the most resolute of them began despairing. All of them looked to the sky, waiting for their savior and emperor.

They were an army of fifty million, a force that should have been enough to rival even the most powerful forces of the Myriad Solar Sects! Yet here they were, completely trapped in the Myriaddragon Mountains. Their heads began to fly off and fall down; some who fought to the bitter end were even torn to shreds.

Everyone from the Ninedragon Army knew that what the Saintdragon Emperor had said was true. They had to get rid of as many enemies as they could in the shortest time possible. The Veildragon Palace had surrendered, but even they had no choice but to join the effort. By now, the celestial orderian troops no longer differentiated between them and those of the sects. From high above, it was clear to see that their numbers were being significantly thinned. Celestial orderian corpses rained down like trash as war cries constantly rang out across the battlefield.

The leading charge of Tianming, the ancient Dragon Imperials, and the mountain dragons had completely disrupted the group formations of the enemy, allowing them to be killed by the vengeful Ninedragon Army, the traitorous Veildragon Palace, and the opportunistic former bystanders of the Myriad Solar Sects. There seemed to be no way out. Even then, none of them surrendered and they fought until they breathed their last breath.

"Hahaha, the Myriad Solar Sects will eventually fall!"

"We still have countless people that'll avenge us!"

"Just wait! Today was your greatest mistake! The sun emperor will lead the rest of us and sweep your sects clean!"

Even when their deaths were a clear certainty, they still fought to squeeze out all the bravery they had left. Now, more than half of them had been killed; the rest were injured and barely holding on. The hundred thousand Dragon Imperials had completely traumatized them, giving them no reprieve at all. Fortunately, their energy wasn't unlimited. Eventually, the Dragon Imperials began falling one after another, the bodies that had been preserved over the eons decaying and withering away as their life force ran out.
