Beastmaster of the Ages Chapter 1396 - The Skymoon Holyfiend

Chapter 1396 The Skymoon Holyfiend

Due to Lan Shas death, the chaos, violence, and recklessness on the battlefield had once again risen to a new level. Corpses of lifebound beasts piled up like mountains and the bloody waters of Aix Lake seeped into the land under the Azurecloud Divine Tree. Blood stained its branches, leaves, and roots. There were all kinds of enormous lifebound beasts fighting under the divine tree, unleashing abilities of wind, fire, water, earth, and storm that made it impossible to see. The world was engulfed by a vortex of death.

Lan Shas death had led to more deaths. However, none of them were aware that the battle had been incited by a third party. All they could see was their enemies. As long as they suffered heavy casualties, it didnt matter who had instigated the conflict. An irreconcilable blood feud existed between both sides.

The Tumulus Pill God watched all of this unfolding with a deep frown.

Tumulus Pill God, Brother Lan is.... Yun Tianque placed Lan Shas corpse in an ice coffin.

The Tumulus Pill God caught sight of Lan Shas miserable expression.

It was Feng Guiyi, a disciple of the Wind Swordlord, who killed him. Ive taken his life, said Yun Tianque.

The Tumulus Pill God couldnt accept the fact that a man as great as Lan Sha had perished at the hands of a nobody. He sighed. What happened to him? What went wrong?

Lan Sha said he was hiding to heal himself after being seriously injured and poisoned. He mustve noticed the fight and been eager to contribute. Perhaps he overestimated his physical condition, giving his opponent an opportunity. Yun Tianque shook his head.

This is bad. The Tumulus Pill God was rather depressed, but not distressed by Lan Shas death. It meant the wargodeans would suffer an even greater loss. He had his reservations about the fighting, but now there was no going back.

Lady Wushuang must know that hes dead. The Blueblood Starocean is part of the celestial orderians. She must be furious to have a subordinate die under her nose, said Yun Tianque.

If the Empyrean Sword Sect doesnt suffer heavy casualties, well have lost. Under the current circumstances, we cant fail even if it means throwing caution to the wind! Retreat was no longer an option.

Yes!

The Tumulus Pill God took a deep breath. Compared to other wargodeans, he wasnt as tall, but he let out a thunderous roar that shook the sky. Bolts of golden lightning shot out of his mouth and transformed into shock waves that swept across the entire battlefield. Wargodean warriors, wreak our vengeance and slaughter these bastards!

Kill!!

That was a signal to the wargodeans who had previously been slack. Due to the Tumulus Pill Gods restraint, the wargodeans had held back from the beginning of the battle to avoid casualties. Although their numbers were equal to the bluebloods, their combat power far surpassed them. Their strength alone was equivalent to about forty thousand Empyrean Sword Sect swordpupils. With the Tumulus Pill Gods words of encouragement, the wargodeans entered a fighting frenzy. Each of them was a god of war who had fought countless battles since childhood. The arena of war made them fearless.

Not only did the wargodeans and Blueblood Starocean cultivators fail to surrender, they descended upon the Empyrean Sword Sects swordpupils like ferocious beasts. They were unstoppable. From up above, it was clear that the Empyrean Sword Sect was at a disadvantage. Many wargodeans could take on two opponents, so the slaughter of swordpupils was a common sight. Rage had only made the wargodeans more brutal and bloodthirsty.

The entire battlefield was covered in blood. As the fighting continued, the earth trembled and the Wind and Rain Swordlords were forced to cover two separate areas, defending while slaying their opponents. With them in charge, the Empyrean Sword Sects defense was relatively stable for the time being.

Lan Sha is dead? When the Rain Swordlord heard the news, she coldly laughed. I failed to slaughter you, but you were poisoned with the greenghost venom. Yet you returned to seek death? You deserve it! In spite of that, she was alarmed by their red-eyed enemies and the Empyrean Sword Sects heavy casualties.

Its fine. Theyve lost just as many as we have. We wont be defeated as long as the number of casualties is about the same. This is our first great battle in the Azurecloud Continent. We cant afford to lose it. She knew very well that once the sect retreated, their morale would be affected.

Kill them! Dont stop!

Countless wargodeans and bluebloods fell beneath her sword as a piercing birdsong sounded from the beaks of the ninesky celestial cranes beside her. They attacked with their wings, claws, and sharp beaks, manipulating the clouds and rain to shoot droplets of white raindrops that seemed gentle, but could pierce through numerous bodies as well as the hard scales of lifebound beasts.

Die! the Rain Swordlord arrogantly shouted, completely unaware of the danger that was approaching.

At that moment, she looked up and saw a white-robed woman standing on one of the branches of the Azurecloud Divine Tree, her hair fluttering in the wind. It was Li Wushuang. Blood stained her frosty face and clothes.

As she locked on to the Rain Swordlord, Li Wushuang wiped off the blood with her sleeve. Then, rolling up her long sleeves, she smiled, the corners of her mouth curling in a cold and bloodthirsty smirk. She raised her hand, pointing a curved, crimson blade at the Rain Swordlord. It was a slender blade, as wide as a sword but with a sharper tip. It was extremely light and flat, and almost transparent like the wings of a cicada. There was no doubt it was a weapon that could kill. After absorbing a great amount of blood, it was even more sinister and gloomy. Just one glance of the ghostly eyes that dotted the crimson blade sent shivers up the Rain Swordlords spine.

The Skymoon Holyfiend....

The Rain Swordlord gasped at the sight of the crimson blade. It was one of the celestial orderians grade-eight divine artifacts, a weapon on par with the Ninedragon Imperius. Long Longlong couldnt bring out the power of the Ninedragon Imperius, but Li Wushuang was definitely able to turn the Skymoon Holyfiend into every cultivators nightmare. The sword devoured souls, so the more it killed, the stronger it became.

The cold weapon in Li Wushuangs hand and killing intent in her eyes struck fear into those around her. And at that moment, she was staring at the Rain Swordlord. The latter seemed to disapprove. In terms of age, she was much older than Li Wushuang, and also an elder in terms of seniority.

Trying to scare me with a grade-eight divine artifact? Despite her words, she immediately notified the Wind Swordlord that she was being targeted by Li Wushuang.

I cant explain Lan Shas death to the Blueblood Starocean. Since youre the ones who caused all this, all fifty thousand of you will pay with your lives. Ill use the blood of an old hag like you to make up for Lan Shas grievances. With that, Li Wushuang jumped into an attack.
