Beastmaster of the Ages

with his wolf to become a werebeast, he looked a little like these demons.
It wasn ’t that the demons all looked like werewolves; instead, their bodies all had some properties of other beasts.
They were both humanoid and bestial at the same time.
In some of the murals, they could even unleash terrifying abilities on top of using battle arts.

”Not to mention, they also seem a little like Feng ’s infernal soul race! ”

He gave it a few more looks and found that they looked really similar.
However, he couldn ’t say for sure whether they were of the same stock.
The infernal soul race was said to be a fusion of beastmasters and lifebound beasts.
However, most of their fusions were failed ones.
Apart from Ye Lingfeng, the others all looked really weird.
As for the demons, while they had different individual features, they all seemed like terrifying lifeforms.
Even though he was only seeing them through murals, he could spot a few demons that looked just like humans, both in terms of height and the lack of bestial features.

The scenes seemed to depict humans sacrificing their lives to obtain a hard-fought victory.
At the end of the passageway, he saw a towering man in a dragon robe riding five dragons as he led the billions of people to crush the demons.
There were a few star-like figures beside him that looked incredibly powerful.

Who might they be? When he thought that, an odd image appeared.
The defeated demons weren ’t killed.
Instead, they escaped towards the sky where the gigantic grey star was! The images flashed quickly by.
By the time the man in the dragon robe led his armies to the grey star, the star let out a mist that swallowed the humans and killed them.
The entire star began descending from the sky like a gigantic beast.
It was as if the demons were able to turn the tables when they were fighting on the grey star.

At that moment, the dragon-robed emperor soared to the sky with his five dragons.
Leading his glowing subordinates, he raised the Heaven Cauldron and focused it on the grey star, causing a five-colored formation to manifest.

Then, the image darkened.
When light returned, countless blood dragons gnawed at the five-colored formation, angering the emperor and causing him to massacre all of them.
A formation of blood formed as blood rained nonstop, surrounding the five-colored formation.
The star turned blood red as a result, and began shrinking until it was so small it might as well not exist any longer.

From that day onward, the thousands of stars in the sky fell into what came to be known as the Kilostar Domain.
That was where the visions completely stopped.
Tianming was completely shaken by the revelation.
”So this five-colored star is the prison of the demon race! ”

That was a shocking truth.
”Nonahall ’s true aim wasn ’t to kill the goddess at all.
It wasn ’t territory either.
Their true aim is to let the specters return to the human realm! That ’s why Ghoul King Di Zang knelt to that figure! ”

As he understood too little about the history of the continent, this was something he had never considered before.
The legends about the demon race felt completely foreign to him.
But now the truth was right before his eyes.
This conspiracy caused him to shake with terror.

”The Heaven Cauldron! That ’s why they started the war! ” He couldn ’t want to do anything more than to return to Taiji Peak Lake immediately and tell them the truth.

At that moment, a light appeared ahead of him on the passageway.
The whole place quieted down and he stood firm in front of that person.
The man in the dragon robe opened his eyes, all three of them, and the one in the center glowed with five colors.

”Great Emperor Xuanyuan…. ” Tianming took a deep breath.

”O ’ successor of mine, come to me, ” beckoned the man.

Tianming stepped forward, wavering from side to side.
However, the emperor ’s gaze didn’t follow him.
He figured it wasn ’t a real person, just like the apparition of the Hexapath Sword God.
This was probably a final recording of his will before he left this world.

Tianming shot him a gaze of utmost respect.
He was a man that had defined his era, as was apparent from the murals on the passageway.
His contributions to humankind far outstripped the nine gods that came after him.
Without him, humanity never would have prospered.
Tianming could feel the archaic pressure coming from his gaze as if he had traveled back two hundred thousand years in time.

”Greetings, Founding Ancestor. ”

”After two hundred thousand years, the stars shift once more on the grandest scale.
On this day, I have a grand mission to entrust to you. ” The emperor ’s voice rang throughout the whole place.
