Beastmaster of the Ages

Chapter 1833 - He's The Madman

Some things couldn't be accomplished even if one tried their best. Tianming had already returned from Violetglory at the greatest speed possible. If he had returned earlier, he wouldn't have had such huge growth and been capable of resisting the sun emperor.

Now, they could technically speak, but perhaps it was too late already. A person he was once familiar with stood in front of him, but felt like a stranger. Could the Li Wudi he respected still return? Tianming didn't see any hope for now at least. The man before him was perfect and flawless. And that perfection was exactly why there was no space left for Li Wudi.

Li Wudi was very calm before Tianming's interrogation. He smiled and said, "You're still too young, so you don't understand. Many things in this world are constantly changing. There are no absolutes. I'll definitely be different from the past me. Perhaps that makes me feel foreign to you, but you can't deny that, from start to finish, I'm the same person, Li Wudi. I was your godfather in the past, I am now, and I will be in the future until the end of time. At the same time, I'm the sun emperor, responsible for all life on this world. And especially my celestial orderians."

"Haha, is this very fun?" Tianming coldly laughed.

"It isn't. I'm not joking or messing around with you. It's up to you whether you believe me or not. But time will give you your answer. One day, you'll understand me. I'm not a madman. The blonde 'clone' inside is the madman," Li Wudi said.

Tianming's mind was thrown into chaos. The blonde 'clone' inside? What did that mean? Who was the real sun emperor?

"If he's the madman, then kill him?" Tianming said.

"No. He's also your godfather, and my other half. Killing him is the same as killing me. If he's gone, everything of the sun emperor will transfer to me. In the end, I'll be a madman too."

At that moment, Tianming nearly believed him. Perhaps that was the opponent's tactic, so he quickly quashed the notion. "Whatever. There's nothing more to discuss. No matter who you are or who you represent, a blood grudge exists between us. If my godfather's no longer around, I'll fight you to the bitter end. In the future, you'll regret missing out on your last chance to handle me today."

Tianming was right in front of him, but the Divine Sun Palace unfortunately had no ability to pursue or attack. Tianming was also fully on guard and prepared to fly the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb away at any moment.

Li Wudi's response to Tianming's determination was to laugh unrestrainedly. It was the exact same manner as the godfather in Tianming's heart.

After laughing, he sighed, "I won't. As long as I'm still on the sun, you'll never die. Otherwise, wouldn't I have used the people of Flameyellow to threaten you, Tianming?"

Tianming's heart skipped a beat. The sun emperor had Li Wudi's memories and knew Tianming's weak point? That was a fatal weakness that Sovereign Xi had used before! Tianming had been plunged into dire straits when she sent down a hundred thousand of the divine lunarians. "You're using their lives to threaten me?" He felt a raging fury.

The red-haired man shook his head with a smile. "I won't. Time will prove everything and remove all your misunderstandings."

Whether or not it was a threat, if an exalted personage like the sun emperor used the same despicable method as Sovereign Xi, it would pose an intractable problem for Tianming.

"No matter what you say, I'll stop your invasion of the Myriad Solar Sects! I will block you no matter where you attack, until your celestial orderian army is crippled. The territory and homelands of the myriad sects will be personally seized back by me, too," Tianming said in a low voice.

"Fine, bring it! Godfather doesn't think there's anything wrong with your perspective. No matter who wins between us, there'll only be one ruler of the sun. That'll be very important when we resist Skywolf. You already have the qualifications now. Furthermore, you can represent the Sky Palace to get the authority over their half of the astralguard formation and fusion formation."

"What's that mean?" Tianming frowned.

"Go get an explanation from them," Li Wudi said.

"Are you bullshitting when you talk about Skywolf?" Tianming coldly laughed.

"I'm not. Time will give you your answer." That was the third time he had said that.

Tianming was in an astralship. His Ninedragon Imperial Tomb could produce a star map at any time. He quickly changed the wheel formation into one.

When I last looked at the star map, I already noticed that Orderia was even closer to Skywolf than Violetglory.... Tianming hadn't looked at the map for quite some time, but he knew from the experience with the Divine Moon Realm that nova source could move. However, high-speed movement had terrifying consumption. Every 'pursuit' would burn up more than a hundred thousand years of nova source, even if the distance wasn't long.

So, were the Skywolf Stars moving? Tianming checked and found that, compared to the last time he had looked, the distance between Orderia and Skywolf had shrunk by twenty-five percent! That was a clear change.

"That means the sun emperor is likely telling the truth. Skywolf is coming!" His heart chilled. The invasion was imminent. Furthermore, those wolves of the universe, the Skywolf Stars, had found this blazing planet in the midst of the dark forest that was the astralscape!

His heart was thrown into chaos. He looked at the man. He had the Divine Sun Palace. Did it have a star map? Could he see the position of Skywolf?

Tianming didn't trust him! Hence, he tested him by asking, "You say that Skywolf's invasion is imminent, so do you know their location and when they're coming?"

"I don't."

"Then why do you claim so?"

"I already took down the Voidword Shrine. They burned their royal blood to summon Skywolf. They succeeded, though they've all died already," Li Wudi said.

"Impossible!" Through Yin Chen, Tianming found that Voidword Shrine was still doing fine. Only a few dozen odd core members had vanished into a secret formation and hadn't shown themselves for a while.

"It's the actions of only a few. No matter how many eyes you have, you can't see everything," Li Wudi said. "You think the Voidword Shrine is the problem, but they aren't. The real problem is the Sky Palace. It's been infiltrated. If they didn't help, how could some Voidword Shrine have the chance to mess around under my watch? They did so many things during the forty years I was sleeping.…"

The Sky Palace again? Tianming was even more confused. This was supposed to just be a celestial orderian invasion, so why was it getting so complicated? He wanted more intel, so his mind moved as he planned to ask more.

Suddenly, a man whose body blazed with golden flames appeared next to the man with blood-colored hair.
