Beastmaster of the Ages

contorted in pain, thanks to his utterly torn arm, the consequence of which was the destruction of all his bane-rings.
He was already at death ’s doorstep.

He was none other than the clan leader and lord of Huiyue City, Huiyue Tianyu, the champion of the residents of the city.
Nobody could have predicted that he would ever end up in his current state.
Nothing but the corpses beneath him bore witness to this scene.
Apart from him, everyone that had attacked the killer was dead.

The white-robed man was also covered in blood, but none of it was his.
Like a cold machine, he punched Huiyue Tianyu ten times with his other hand, completely crushing his organs and spine, his heart especially.
Power began leaking out of his countless astral discs.
He was as good as dead.

After a long time, the white-robed man breathed a sigh, looking a little tired.
”Reinforcements from the royalty of Divine Moon Skycity are too late, I ’m afraid.
Thanks to that, I had lots of fun killing today. ”

Black blood began flowing out of Huiyue Tianyu ’s mouth.
With the last of his strength, he swept away the mist from the face of the man.
”You…
you are a specter…. ”

He finally realized the truth, but he wouldn ’t live to tell of it.

”Yes, you ’ve guessed right. ” The mist around his face scattered, revealing his shiny white head.
His pale eyes were incredibly cold.
Stroking his prey ’s hair with his other hand, he smiled.
”Don ’t be divine moonrace in your next life. ”

”I…
I want to know why! ” he struggled to say.

”You wouldn ’t believe me. ”

”I will.
The only person in the Divine Moon Realm that can take you on is Sovereign Xi.
I ’ll believe whatever you say! ” Tears were already streaming from his impassioned eyes.

”Is that so? ” He wiped away the tears and smiled.
”I came from the Ninefold Hell.
Some of you killed my wife and kin.
It just so happens that we hold a grudge for our two-hundred-millennia-long imprisonment as well, so I came to pay it back.
My goal is to wipe out the divine moonrace, starting with Huiyue City. ”

Huiyue Tianyu heaved labored breaths, shivering as he stared wide-eyed at the man with terror.
Had he not heard it from the killer himself, he would never have believed that someone at his level could have come from the Ninefold Hell.
”You will be…
exterminated…
by Orderia…. ”

”That isn ’t necessarily so.
I can take your stellunar source and use it to reignite the Ninefold Hell ’s core.
Then, we ’ll go to the realm of chaos and endlessly wander within it.
At the very least, we have a place to call home.
That’s pleasant enough, don ’t you think? ”

He loosened his hand and dropped the man to the ground.
His gaze began blurring as he looked pitifully at the wretch.
He was suffering from killing so many, as if he were killing them out of mercy to spare them the pains of living.

”Die…. ” That was the last word Huiyue Tianyu managed to utter before he blacked out.
His raised hand fell lifelessly to the ground.
