Beast Taming Patrol Chapter 1568: 437: The Birth of the Seven Kings
Previously on Beast Taming Patrol...
Remnants of powerful entities from the West Profound Domain and local experts in the Northern Sacred Realm were all gathered there.
Furthermore, the Northern Sacred Realm's proximity to the West Profound Domain positioned it as the probable initial battleground for the upcoming clashes.
Without unexpected twists, their current discussions likely revolved around strategies to confront the Time Master, soon to break free, along with the creatures from the Southern Desolate Realm.
Once he grasped the circumstances, Lin Su thought it over briefly and chose to dispatch the eleven newly obtained Heaven Rank Secret Realms to the Northern Sacred Realm for bolstering their defenses, prior to traveling to Blue Star for his personal advancement.
Each arrangement advanced smoothly without obstacles.
Yet, just as he prepared to depart, a massive thunderous rumble reverberated through the skies of the divine martial realm.
The source of the noise came from…
The West Profound Domain!
…
“Boom… Boom…”
A profound, resonant heartbeat thundered inside the sealed expanse of the West Profound Domain.
The Time Master gradually unveiled its eyes, with a fresh Time’s Heart hovering in front of it.
Simultaneously, beams of radiance resurfaced along the flow of time.
Within those, numerous arrogant and unique Time Masters emerged prominently across alternate timelines.
For a being at the mythic level in the Time system, manipulating time required only a mere intention.
Though five days seemed brief, they proved ample for the Time Master to restore every bit of damage from its earlier clash with the Martial Emperor.
Even surpassing that recovery.
Although it hadn't advanced to a higher Dao realm stage, the Time Master now possessed slightly greater might than it did five days ago.
In the following instant, the third eye on the Time Master’s brow parted wide, drawing in the throbbing Time’s Heart from the emptiness.
With the Time God Pattern whirling, the Time Master steadily observed the seven forms arrayed before it.
A fearsome energy emanated from them, rivaling the Time Master’s own in potency.
This was an authority transcending rules, the essence of the Dao.
An endless, horrifying force beyond comprehension.
Over the span of five days, these seven chosen from the vast array of Southern Desolate Realm beasts had, just as the Time Master planned, ascended to the mythic level.
The confinement imposed by the Martial Emperor to trap the Time Master now acted as ideal concealment for the breakthroughs of these seven mythics.
Beyond the borders of the West Profound Domain, humanity detected no influx of foreign energy whatsoever.
Not even Qiuqiu’s Time Prophecy activated.
Since their ascensions tied directly to the Time Master.
Previously, when Qiuqiu predicted the Time Master’s near breakthrough to mythic status, it hadn't actually achieved it, and its strength hadn't escalated to evade Time Prophecy's detection.
However, on this occasion, having attained mythic level, the Time Master exceeded the bounds of Qiuqiu’s foresight, rendering any perception impossible.
“Five hundred years,” the Time Master stated with composure.
Despite the seven mythic beings before it capable of overwhelming it in unison, it displayed no trace of concern.
“I granted you five hundred years, and you have not failed me.”
“Should you have failed to reach the mythic level by the time I reclaimed my full strength, your existence would hold no purpose.”
This commanding demeanor made the eyes of the seven mythic beings, whose power nearly matched the Time Master’s, flicker uncertainly.
Now fully immersed in this tier, sensing their unparalleled might for the first time, they faintly realized the Time Master standing before them might not be invincible.
With such immense power at their disposal, did they really need to remain under the Time Master’s dominance?
Doubts like these stirred within their thoughts.
The air in the area turned tense and heavy right then.
The Time Master’s gaze sharpened with chill, “It seems I must teach you your place.”
As soon as the statement ended, the faces of all seven mythic beings shifted in unison.
The latent Time Skill embedded in their very essence activated at the Time Master’s silent directive.
The formidable energies they had fully commanded began to slip from their grasp.
Suddenly, their cultivation levels appeared to crash down to the ninth rank of immortality.
It felt like awakening from a vivid illusion, thrust back into harsh truth.
Plummeting from bliss to despair in a flash, dread etched across the visages of the seven mythic beings.
The greater their taste of mythic rank supremacy, the harder it became to endure this sudden frailty.
The Time Master’s earlier declaration rang utterly true!
Indeed, it could revoke their strength with a single whim!
In that instant, the seven mythic beings, once like deities, collapsed to their knees, quaking as they once did.
“This once, I’ll let you live,” the Time Master declared evenly, raising its claw to press down upon the forms of the seven mythic beings, ascending into the sky.
Under the Time Master’s dominion, the abilities of the seven mythic beings flowed back to them.
Yet the thrill of their mythic ascension faded silently as the Time Master’s claw persisted in crushing them beneath it.
“Now that you’ve attained mythic level, you may proclaim yourselves as kings.”
The Time Master’s claw lifted from the final mythic being’s frame, striding through the void to survey the seven mythic figures from above.
“I am the Space King.”
A mythic entity boasting a human-like torso atop a silver-white spider’s lower half, radiating the Space Path, inclined its proud head under the Time Master’s scrutiny.
“I am the King of Death.”
A form defying description, its tone a spectral lament, pulsing with the Path of Death, positioned itself next to the Space King, dipping the head it conjured.
“I am the King of Destruction.”
A mythic serpent with nine heads, its essence brimming with destructive urges, lowered all nine savage craniums, each crackling with immense vigor.
“I am the King of Life.”
A colossal tree piercing the heavens quivered its massive bole, its aura capable of reviving the fallen from death.
“I am the Nightmare King.”
A mythic presence of shadowy illusion, demonic in ferocity, gradually unveiled itself, exuding nightmare energies potent enough to plunge souls into eternal forgetfulness.
“I am the King of the Sea.”
A mythic construct woven from coalesced ocean waters, bearing a hazy, see-through shape in an odd contour, gradually bent its head toward the Time Master.
“I am the True Dragon King.”
A colossal dragon clad in gleaming golden scales, wings vast as the firmament when folded, unleashed a bloodline terror echoing the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Dragons.
“Seven Kings, accompany me into battle,” the Time Master announced steadily.
Eight devastating strikes from colossal powers slammed into the enclosure walls forged by the Martial Emperor at the cost of all its reserves.
The formidable shield, which the Time Master alone could barely rattle, now fractured explosively.
