Beastmaster of the Ages

In the Violetcloud Battlefield, Tianming hadn't been able to show off the terrifying effect of his pandemonium constellation at all. However, the golden imperial star managed to manifest now, spreading out into a starscape spanning thousands of meters with Tianming and his beasts at its center, forming a domain of chaos. The pandemonium constellation's unique characteristic was the suppression of other constellations.

The imperial star began to expand and spin, targeting the eight suns of Li Haochen's constellation. At that moment, the light and aura spreading from the imperial star surrounded the eight suns and began to suppress, invade, and devour them.

"Crush them all!" The power of constellations was fueled by astralforce. Tianming and his beasts channeled their astralforce into the constellation, further boosting its power. Eventually, the first solar star collapsed and broke apart, followed quickly after by the rest, ending with a rumbling explosion. The miniature suns had just collapsed and blasted a lot of flames outward, covering the entire battlefield. However, that only lasted a short time before the pandemonium constellation sucked up all of those flames as well, returning everything to normal. Even the fires on Xian Xian were put out.

The battlefield was quieter than it was moments before. With the eight solar stars crushed, only the imperial star of the pandemonium constellation remained. Standing right beneath it, Tianming wielded his sword, ready to receive the blow. Now that the solar stars were gone, the radiant imperial star began applying pressure on Li Haochen, whose momentum had greatly fallen following the loss of his constellation. Even the vastsun godbeasts had been pulled down to an even playing field from the oppressive heights they'd previously occupied. In fact, Li Haochen found it hard to keep his eyes open to stare at the imperial star.

"This constellation... that must mean he's at least at the eighth level now. Who could've raised a disciple like this?! It must be the Sky Palace themselves, right?" Little did he know that Tianming was only at the third level. It was only thanks to his Primordial Chaos Beasts and the Grand-Orient Vortex that he managed to match up to Li Haochen. Even so, being at the eighth level wasn't Li Haochen's only advantage; he hadn't used his powerful totems to their full potential yet.

"Even though I tried to start flashily, he managed to easily neutralize my offense. I'll make sure he's completely crushed with my next move." He took a deep breath, allowing his fighting spirit to surge once more as he jumped up. He completely abandoned his constellation and gripped his blade tight as his beasts roared. "Go!"

Then, he charged at the front with his beasts following behind him, traveling at such a speed that they blurred into a flaming pillar. Tianming, on the other hand, stood with Xian Xian behind him, Lan Huang in front, Ying Huo on him, and Meow Meow on his head. The black cat had collected a lot of lightning and was ready to strike. Yin Chen, on the other hand, had spread across the entire battlefield and was also waiting for a chance to strike.

Some vastsun godbeasts sprinted across the land, some burrowed in the ground, and others flew. Xian Xian had tried using its Radiant Vines to whip them, but they would quickly be ignited before they connected with the totem beasts. It was incredibly hard to bind them, and whipping with withering vines only did so much. This was a really bad matchup for Xian Xian.

"Just focus on using the Evernight Curse and Trisoul Fiendsong!" Tianming said."Okay!" While those abilities took a while to get going, they were the only things Xian Xian could do now. Fortunately, the other four beasts were completely unaffected. In fact, Ying Huo was right in its element.

"Cat Bro, go!" Ying Huo intentionally shrank and turned into a beam of fire, charging in from the flank. Meow Meow had primed its abilities long ago and launched the black lightning bolts at the eight vastsun godbeasts. As Misty Hellthunder struck them from above, the crackling lightning bolts triggered many explosions on the godbeasts. Meow Meow's ranged attacks were constantly getting stronger. After getting Blitzbane, Worldbolt Blast, every bolt of its lightning was infused with the Aeonic Grandbane's power. Getting struck with so much firepower was bad news for Li Haochen.

"Do it!" Two of the vastsun godbeasts morphed into gigantic feline beasts, a tiger and a lion respectively, both of which were covered in golden divine patterns. They shrank as well, dropping from more than a thousand meters to around two meters, giving them far more speed and agility. They zipped into the clouds toward Meow Meow, their flaming claws drawn. This was a battle art, from the looks of the intricacy of the claws' movements. Not only were they able to avoid Meow Meow's attacks, they could even rapidly close the distance!

Meow Meow was caught off guard and left with many burning, bleeding wounds. Crying out in pain, it quickly escaped. "That was harsh! Gotta run!"

While they were only eighth-level constellier totems, they were probably around the ninth level or above in power, with their ability to unleash claw arts. No doubt, Li Haochen had trained with these battle arts so that his totems would have the same advantage Ying Huo did. Unlike lifebound beasts, most totems could be used to execute battle arts. Even though they looked like lifebound beasts, they were actually totems! This definitely wasn't a typical fight between beastmasters.

Meow Meow could only rely on its speed to widen the distance between itself and the two vastsun godbeasts, but they continued the chase unrelentingly, putting pressure on Meow Meow to ensure that it wouldn't be able to cause too much havoc on the battlefield. Eventually, they caught up. Meow Meow changed to its Regal Chaosfiend form and got into a biting match with the two feline godbeasts, but it was at a huge disadvantage thanks to their numbers and sheer size.

Li Haochen was far stronger than Tianming had imagined. While the two were keeping Meow Meow busy, the other six charged in with Li Haochen, using battle arts in conjunction with their master. Two of the beasts turned into a flaming rhinoceros and a flaming bear respectively, both of which were larger than even Lan Huang. When Lan Huang used its Primordial Wheel and rammed into them, the clash sent it flying back onto the ground.

Then one of them turned into a snake and wrapped itself around Lan Huang, binding it while its bear friend pressed down on Lan Huang's heads, its flaming paws leaving huge burn marks on it.

"Die!" Li Haochen cried, slashing toward the poor tortoise dragon with the Crimsoncloud Dragonbane.
