Beastmaster of the Ages Chapter 1944

Chapter 1944

At that moment, a headache-inducing soundwave was unleashed from the large voidheart worm. It was a piercing, high-pitched sound, much like the horns that could be heard from Skywolf Frost.

“The Void God wants us to return first!”

“All troops, retreat!”

“The Void God has ordered a full retreat!”

‘Void God’ was a respectful address Skywolf used to refer to the large voidheart worm. It appeared that the mysterian-made worm had a high status in Skywolf, perhaps even higher than many sovereigns’. It was the true ruler of Skywolf Frost! As it gave its order, the specter troops hurriedly retreated from the Flameyellow Guard Formation. Even though they had suffered tens of millions of casualties, the majority of the troops of the Sanctvoid Army managed to extricate themselves from the situation.

They had returned with one goal in mind: to kill Tianming. There were hundreds of millions of specters behind the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb, all of them entering the Sanctvoid Guard Formation. The frosty atmosphere was their home turf. The army assembled and quickly surrounded the ship.

Tianming couldn’t help Lingfeng one bit as he was facing the might of the entire specter force as a price for having slain Sovereign Sanctquility. Countless black spider threads thrashed about in the restless sea of frost, tying down the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb tighter and tighter. It was hard for it to even make a turn. Beneath the sea was a gigantic black spider-like being, only barely visible between passing moments.

During one such instant, Tianming finally got a good look at the cosmic wildbeast that was even larger than the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb. It was black all over and shaped like the voidheart worm’s tarantula form. Its black legs were razor sharp and spinnerets populated its abdomen. On its back was a gigantic male face that seemed eerily handsome. The expression on the face was one of mischievous joy, as if it was toying with its prey. It appeared that this Void God was a male insectoid, while the one whose body Tianming had eradicated was a female.

Lingfeng was still giving chase and had gone almost all the way into Skywolf Frost. Tianming, however, was dragged deep into the sea of frost toward the entirety of the Sanctvoid Army. They knew that once they dealt with the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb, the Flameyellow Guard Formation alone wouldn’t be able to resist them. Though Tianming was alone, he and his ship were worth more than ten million troops!

No matter how powerful the ship was, it was completely trapped and Tianming was feeling more anxious than ever. “It still has Qingyu in hand, which means she’s still useful for something. She won’t be killed just yet. Since that’s the case, I have no reason to fear them! They’ll all die!” Burning with flames of rage, he readied himself to pilot the ship. “Go!”

The ship rumbled as its miniaturized nova source went into overdrive. Energy flooded toward the nine dragon heads of the ship, which was currently being bombarded with the abilities from the specter army. Many dragon scales began shattering and the specters cried out the Void God’s name in fervor as they swarmed toward the ship like ants.

“Die!” Ninedragon Apotheosis unleashed a gigantic ball of energy, which quickly exploded. nova source tore through the space in its reach, sending scorching flames through the formation, making an entire area barren! The specters in places where the flames touched were reduced to ash while many black webs began burning, boring a great hole in the web complex the Void God had woven. Even after being dragged into the Sanctvoid Guard Formation, the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb was no pushover; the power it had displayed once more struck fear into the skywolves, causing them to retreat.

But the next moment, even more webs came flying as the Void God came straight toward the ship. Given its size, one would be able to spot it far away from the star if it didn’t have the frosty mist around it. It was larger than any mountain or lake on the surface and it seemed to have made Skywolf Frost its nest.

That also seemed to answer why the worm made its lair in Skywolf Frost instead of the larger star. Skywolf Blaze was more powerful, so it served as the main base for the skywolf specters, whereas Skywolf Frost was the turf of the voidheart worm, which was in turn served by the other two specter lines of Sovereigns Greenvoid and Sanctquility.

If it weren’t for the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb, Tianming would shudder before the gigantic, super-continental-sized beast, even with forty billion Omnisentient Threads. All of those people bundled together probably wouldn’t occupy nearly as much space! The only things larger than the voidheart worm that Tianming knew of were the Primordial Chaos Beasts he had seen in the dreamscapes. Seeing such a huge creature made him feel an instinctual fear, as if it was the most terrifying lifeform to ever exist. It seemed destined for superiority far more than humans or specters were.

The Void God let out a piercing hiss. Tianming’s ears hurt even though he had been partly insulated from the sound. Weisheng Moran’s face paled with fear as she slumped to the ground, shaking. Never would Tianming have imagined that he would come face to face with a monstrosity of such scale outside the world of dreams.

“Dammit, a louse on that thing would probably be larger than Tortoise Bro, wouldn’t it?” Not even Ying Huo quite knew what to make of it. Back then, Tianming had estimated that it was around ten times larger than the voidheart worm inside the Sky Palace Formation, but that was a severe underestimation. He had neglected to take into account the perspective distorted by distance.

The Void God had basically declared war on them. The hiss caused countless specters around them to howl.

“They’ll eventually use up their miniaturized nova source! The Void God and the Sanctvoid Guard Formation can hold them here until they run dry, and after that they’ll be dead for sure!” Many specters took that into account and sacrificed their lives to swarm the ship.

“We must avenge Sovereign Sanctquility!”

“For our dead comrades!”

“Destroying his ship is only the start! After that, we’ll bury every lifeform on the sun alongside Sovereign Sanctquility as tributes!”

The bestial nature of the specters was amplified to full tilt. Meanwhile, the gigantic Void God kept shifting within the frosty sea, hard to detect despite its size. As more and more webs came flying toward the ship, it also struck it with its sharp legs. Abilities also came bombarding toward it, placing Tianming and the rest in grave danger. There wasn’t anywhere to run.

“Feng… I’ll leave Qingyu to you.” Tianming’s eyes were bloodshot. He was desperately looking for a way out of this, yet more and more specters had returned to the Sanctvoid Guard Formation and locked on to his ship! “Die!” His cry shook the whole ship. He had been pushed into a corner and had no choice but to trust the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb!

The ship rumbled with a huge surge of nova source, illuminating the sea with its nine-colored light. An energy ball formed as the Void God came charging, then tore through the sea and exploded in front of the beast!

The entire formation shook as countless specters were wiped out by the blast, but their numbers were quickly replenished. The Void God managed to ram into the back of the ship, piercing many dragon scales with its sharp claws and even breaching the hull. Its spinnerets kept releasing more and more webs, but thankfully, the Ninedragon Apotheosis wiped them out.

Then, the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb did a death roll, shaking off the Void God and crushing countless specters in its path. Webs and nine-colored divine light could be seen all across the battlefield. From the star below, an entire section of the Sanctvoid Guard Formation was shaking and rumbling. It almost looked as if a hole had opened up in the sky.

……

“Hehehe… it’s over for you! That kid that’s giving chase will also die here in Skywolf Frost,” said ‘Yu Ziqian’, his expression a ghastly smile. “Revenge is simply the best!”

The voidheart worm waved its limbs in utter joy like a monkey, then a black thread stretched out from the boil in his hand and linked up with the black lump on Qingyu’s arm, as if it was forming a connection. It had secured Qingyu to itself using a web as it flew through the Sanctvoid Guard Formation as fast as it could. Lingfeng tried to keep up, only to be battered again and again by the many obstacles inside the formation.
