Beastmaster of the Ages

Chapter 2000

"Li Tianming is back!"

They burst into tears. They feared the sun emperor, and only Tianming could give them a future and a sense of security. From the very beginning, the sun emperor wasn’t one to keep his word, and now he had become so terrifying that the Myriad Solar Sects didn’t dare to trust him at all. Because the power between both sides was out of balance, they were no longer qualified to negotiate with him. The destruction of Skywolf had also given them a glimpse into their possible future.

"Quick! Quick!"

They saw Tianming, as well as the fiery meteor chasing after him. It was the Flameyellow Coffin and its carriers. With the expansion of the sun, the fusion formation had also been forced to expand. Forming a strong protective screen, the Sky Palace Formation covered a larger area as well.

As the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb shot through the air, waves of fire swirled. Tianming saw hope. But at that moment, a sudden change occurred as a clear crack sounded. None had attacked, yet a crack appeared in the Sky Palace Formation in front of him. It was just the beginning. Soon, the sound of countless cracks resounded through the hot air. Every crack seemed to shatter their hearts. More than twenty billion Myriad Solar Sects cultivators were plunged into their worst nightmare. Everyone stared wide-eyed, unable to breathe. Like a broken eggshell, countless cracks suddenly appeared in the Sky Palace Formation, which they had thought was safe. It was as if the sky had been torn apart. There was nothing but deathly silence, not even the sound of breathing. Despair began to emerge in their eyes.

"No, no…!"

"This can’t be!"

"Don’t do this…."

For them, this might be their last home. Against the brutal power of the sun emperor, the Sky Palace Formation was the only thing that could give them peace of mind. The death of the specters didn’t mean that the Myriad Solar Sects would no longer fear the sun emperor or be proud of him, because everyone there knew him all too well. From the beginning of the war, human life was the least valuable thing in the eyes of the sun emperor. Without the Sky Palace Formation, there would be no more human life.

The shadow of death hung over their heads. Sadness spread like the sea. For these red-eyed people, their fate was no secret. They would receive judgment there and then. The entire formation shattered like glass, countless divine celestial patterns completely disintegrating. Fragments of what used to be the formation fell from the sky, scattering all over them.

For Tianming, it was one disaster after another. The absence of the Sky Palace Formation meant that he had nowhere to escape to. What was even worse was that the twenty billion cultivators had also lost their last refuge and were now sitting ducks. The sun emperor could easily reach out and grab them by the throat.

"Hahaha!" Sure enough, unbridled laughter sounded from behind the tomb, reverberating through the world. The entire sun’s nova source seemed to amplify his laughter. His ruthless laughter was a display of mockery, like a sharp sword piercing into the heart of every cultivator of the Myriad Solar Sects. Many turned pale and backed away in fear. Misery and despair were written on everyone\'s face.

"Why? Why’d the Sky Palace Formation suddenly disappear!"

"Why won’t the heavens leave us a way out...."

Many cried; it was the tragedy of being subjugated.

Tianming didn\'t know why either, but the sun and the solar core within him quickly gave him an answer. His half of the solar core was collapsing, dissipating with the formation. At that moment, the solar core shattered and disappeared. It meant that Tianming had completely lost control of the guard and fusion formations left by the sky plunderers.

"Why’s this happening...." Qingyu was still thinking about returning to the Sky Palace Formation and had just been about to breathe a sigh of relief when she was dealt another heavy blow.

"After the sun swallowed Skywolf, the total volume of the nova source is too large. The original fusion formation and astralguard formation have been stretched out of shape and both of them just collapsed. The Sky Palace Formation is part of the fusion formation, so it\'s gone, too." Tianming\'s voice sounded bleak. The two formations were the last gift left to the sun by the sky plunderers. They were a kind of camouflage, allowing people of this world to live on with a new identity. But now they were gone, completely disappeared in the long river of history.

That was to be expected. After all, there were limits to both the fusion and astralguard formations. For an ordinary heliacal-class formation, five times the original nova source was the limit. If that wasn’t the case, any world would have the possibility of unlimited growth and the classification of nova source worlds would be meaningless. The faceless specters had their eye on the Flameyellow Imperial Star because of the two formations.

"Once the Flameyellow Imperial Star re-emerges, the camouflage left by the sky plunderers will be ripped away." The unfortunate timing of it all was adding fuel to the fire.

Dazzling and brilliant, the blazing meteor transformed into a small sun, whizzing through the air. The sun emperor\'s continuous laughter put pressure on Tianming. He wanted to completely crush Tianming\'s will, killing him without a battle.

"Embrace your fate! Every challenge you’ve faced was part of my plan. This is the end of the road for you, so why bother struggling?" Thunder rumbled from behind.

“Part of your plan?" Tianming turned around. Was the sun emperor a genius? One could say so. However, he relied entirely on the Flameyellow Coffin to make a comeback. You’re merely a step ahead of me in controlling the Flameyellow Imperial Star, Tianming said to himself. He kept quiet because there was no need to speak.

"Big Brother, I don\'t get it. Why hasn’t the sun collapsed if the fusion formation’s gone? It’s supposed to explode and kill all life, isn’t it?" Although the world was covered in raging flames, like a fiery hell, Qingyu could feel its majestic new life and its terrifying vitality, which was bursting out of the new sun.

"Because the Flameyellow Fusion Formation has appeared and it can withstand five times the sun\'s nova source. It awoke from its slumber and is now without a master. So now you see why the sun emperor is more concerned about killing me than dealing with the specters?" Tianming coldly laughed.

"Logically speaking, the fusion formation is more important than the astralguard formation. You said that the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb is the core of the Flameyellow Fusion Formation, so the sun emperor has to kill you and take the tomb if he wants to gain control of this new world.... I understand now."
