Beastmaster of the Ages-Chapter 3408 - Afraid
Chapter 3408 - Afraid
The previously kicked flying Yazi climbed back up to its feet and joined Qitian Muchen to besiege Tianming. Its severe wounds triggered its ferocity, causing the proud ninesource beast to roar with fury, frightening the lifebearer tortoise into roaring even more violently.
Just after suppressing his opponent, Tianming immediately faced a new crisis. This would be so much easier if I could use my grand lexicon wonder. But I don’t need it!
Meow Meow used Fiveway Blitzrun to help him narrowly evade the incoming One Book Covers the World, and Qitian Muchen shifted the direction of his One Stroke Shakes the Sky in response and attacked again. Tianming's eyes coldly flashed, and the black-and-gold sword light in his hand spun.
Pentagram Suishen Art, Fall! The strike was completely different from the previous one. It wasn’t as explosive, but instead carried a more devastating ripping power. Even though it was executed in haste, it still cut through the battlefield like a hot knife through butter. The strike instantly shattered Qitian Muchen's Mundane Brush before continuing its trajectory through Qitian Muchen's chest.
Qitian Muchen screamed in pain, his expression drastically changing. He didn’t need to look to know that a large number of his astrons had been obliterated and he now had a bloody hole where his organs should be.
Although the hole wasn’t as large as the one Liu Xinyi had suffered, it had still severely wounded him. It was the worst injury he had ever sustained and the severe pain caused his mind to go blank.
Fortunately, he saw Yazi slam Tianming to the ground, causing the lifebearer tortoise to sink. Yazi pressed Tianming down and attempted to tear him apart with its teeth. However, Yazi belatedly made the realization that it no longer had the teeth to do so.
Yazi’s claws managed to puncture a hole in Tianming's chest, but it wasn’t very large. Tianming coldly smirked and a burst of Skyscorch Wrathlotus and Sauvastika Sword Formation emanated from his hands and seared through Yazi’s claws.
Yazi writhed in pain and loosened its grip, giving Tianming the chance to stab his black-and-gold sword light into the ninesource beast’s abdomen, which exited from its back.
This ninesource beast is so fierce that it even managed to injure me, so.... Tianming knew that hesitation would lead to defeat when facing such a dangerous opponent. The sword light that was still in Yazi’s body unleashed the Greatsun Suishen Art, power erupting within it like a nova source explosion.
The remaining half of Yazi’s face twisted in agony as thousands of streaks of sword ki shot outward. It let out a heart-wrenching scream as it took the full power of Tianming’s attack, blowing it into thousands of bloody chunks.

Below the carnage, the Mistrunner cloaked in purple mist rose once more. Everything about him struck terror into Qitian Muchen and the nearby women. Qitian Muchen watched in disbelief as his lifebound beast was torn into pieces right before his eyes.
That wouldn’t kill an astral god lifebound beast, but a full recovery would take a very, very long time. Yazi was now critically wounded and close to death. And even if it survived, it would greatly hinder Qitian Muchen's future progress in cultivation.
For a genius with the potential to become the valley lord, such a major setback would tarnish his otherwise perfect cultivation journey, significantly affecting his future achievements and potentially even costing him the chance to compete for the valley lord position. It was an utter tragedy for Qitian Muchen!
Tears uncontrollably streamed down his face, as he had never imagined that he would suffer such a devastating blow out of the blue. Throughout his entire life, Qitian Muchen had never faced a real opponent. Everyone in Myriadpath Valley was beneath him and couldn’t pose any life-threatening danger to him. Even when his elders arranged training opportunities for him, the challenges never truly threatened his life.
Because of that, he had never anticipated that his life could be in such peril one day. That was the downside of being at the top of the Myriadpath Valley. When a true opponent emerged and he was on the brink of death, the mental blow to Qitian Muchen was unprecedented. He subconsciously stepped back and said with a trembling voice, “I’m the son of the valley lord of Myriadpath Valley!”
It was a warning to Tianming.
“The son of the valley lord?” Tianming rasped, repeating those six words as if he didn’t recognize the person at all.
At the moment, Qitian Muchen was severely injured and at Tianming's mercy. Meanwhile, his lifebound beast was struggling to put itself back together, desperately trying to reform. There was no doubting Tianming’s utter victory. He had crushed Qitian Muchen in both body and spirit.
As Tianming advanced, Qitian Muchen could only retreat, his legs growing weak. He thought Tianming was a remnant of the Yin-Yang World, so he realized that he was the kind of person that might genuinely kill him. Fear filled him almost to overflowing.
He regretted everything. He regretted coming here, and even more, he regretted telling the eminent who was supposed to protect him to stay away so he could play a ‘game’ with a few women.
When he’d discovered the lifebearer tortoise, he had been poised to earn great merit and prove himself before his father. But in the blink of an eye, he had fallen from heaven to hell.
It was only at that moment that he realized he was afraid of dying, and that, stripped of his identity as the valley lord’s son, he amounted to nothing in the real world where survival of the fittest was the only law.
It was a realization Tianming had experienced much earlier than him.
