Beast Taming Patrol Chapter 1568: 437: The Birth of the Seven Kings

Remnants of mighty beings from the West Profound Domain and local powerhouses of the Northern Sacred Realm had all gathered there.

Furthermore, with the Northern Sacred Realm situated nearer to the West Profound Domain, it was poised to become the initial battleground in the impending clashes.

Lacking any unexpected twists, those assembled were undoubtedly deliberating strategies to confront the Time Master on the verge of unsealing and the creatures hailing from the Southern Desolate Realm.

Once he grasped the full picture, Lin Su took a brief pause to reflect before choosing to dispatch the eleven freshly obtained Heaven Rank Secret Realms to bolster the Northern Sacred Realm's defenses, after which he would journey to Blue Star for his personal advancement.

Each of these initiatives advanced smoothly without obstacles.

Yet, prior to his departure, a deafening thunderclap boomed throughout the skies of the divine martial realm.

That noise originated from...

The West Profound Domain!

…

“Boom… Boom…”

Within the confined space of the sealed West Profound Domain, a profound and resonant heartbeat thundered.

The Time Master gradually unveiled its eyes, as a fresh Time’s Heart hovered in front of it.

Concurrently, radiant streaks reemerged along the flow of time.

Within those, numerous arrogant and unique Time Masters prominently appeared across alternate timelines.

For any entity at the mythic level within the Time system, manipulating time required only a mere flicker of intent.

Although five days seemed brief, they proved ample for the Time Master to restore every bit of damage sustained from its earlier clash with the Martial Emperor.

Extending even beyond mere recovery.

Despite not ascending to a higher Dao realm stage, the Time Master now possessed slightly greater might compared to five days ago.

In the following instant, the third eye upon the Time Master’s brow parted wide, drawing in the throbbing Time’s Heart from the emptiness.

With the Time God Pattern whirling actively, the Time Master serenely observed the seven forms arrayed before it.

An awe-inspiring might emanated from each of them, rivaling the Time Master’s own in intensity.

This was an authority that transcended mere rules, embodying the essence of the Dao.

An endless, unfathomably dreadful force.

Over the span of five days, these seven chosen from the vast hordes of beasts in the Southern Desolate Realm had, just as the Time Master had planned, ascended to mythic status.

The very prison forged by the Martial Emperor to bind the Time Master now acted as the perfect shield for these seven mythic ascensions.

Beyond the borders of the West Profound Domain, humanity detected no influx of foreign energies whatsoever.

Qiuqiu’s Time Prophecy remained utterly silent, failing to activate.

This stemmed from the fact that their elevations were tied directly to the Time Master.

On the prior occasion when Qiuqiu had glimpsed the Time Master’s near-breakthrough to mythic heights, it had not actually achieved that step, nor had its strength grown potent enough to evade the prophecy’s sight.

Yet now, having attained the mythic level, the Time Master surpassed the boundaries of Qiuqiu’s foresight, rendering any detection impossible.

“Five hundred years,” the Time Master declared with composure.

Despite the seven mythic entities before it possessing the collective might to overwhelm it, no trace of concern marred its demeanor.

“I granted you five hundred years, and you have fulfilled my expectations.”

“Had you failed to reach the mythic level by the time I reclaimed my full strength, your continued existence would hold no purpose.”

This commanding stance stirred unease in the eyes of the seven mythic beings, whose power scarcely trailed the Time Master’s.

Now fully immersed in this exalted tier and reveling in their immense newfound potency, they dimly realized that the Time Master standing before them might not be invincible.

With such formidable abilities of their own, was absolute submission to the Time Master truly necessary?

Doubts like these began to stir within their thoughts.

Tension thickened the air in that space, growing heavy and stifling.

The Time Master’s gaze sharpened with chill, “It seems you require a lesson in clarity.”

With those words uttered, the faces of all seven mythic figures twisted in unison.

The latent Time Skill embedded within their very essence activated at the Time Master’s silent directive.

The formidable energies they believed fully under their command suddenly slipped from grasp.

Within a heartbeat, their cultivation levels appeared to crash down to the ninth rank of immortality.

It felt like awakening from an enchanting illusion, thrust back into harsh truth.

A swift plunge from bliss to torment etched horror across the visages of the seven mythic figures.

The greater their prior taste of mythic supremacy, the harder it became to endure this sudden frailty.

The Time Master’s earlier declaration rang utterly true!

Indeed, it held the power to revoke their strength with a single whim!

In that instant, the seven, once godlike, collapsed to their knees upon the ground, quaking in dread.

“For now, I’ll let you live,” the Time Master intoned steadily, as it raised a paw to press down upon the forms of the seven mythic figures, ascending into the emptiness above.

Under the Time Master’s dominion, the abilities of the seven mythic figures were restored.

However, the thrill they had felt upon reaching mythic heights faded subtly, overshadowed by the weight of the Time Master’s paw upon them.

“Now that you’ve attained the mythic level, you may claim the title of kings.”

The Time Master’s paw departed from the final mythic figure’s frame, as it strode into the void, surveying the seven below.

“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 imposing head under the Time Master’s scrutiny.

“I am the King of Death.”

An entity defying description in shape, its voice echoing like spectral lamentations, pulsing with the Path of Death, positioned itself next to the Space King while manifesting a head that bowed low.

“I am the King of Destruction.”

A mythic serpent with nine heads, its form brimming with destructive urges, lowered all nine savage crowns, each one crackling with immense vigor.

“I am the King of Life.”

A colossal tree piercing the heavens quivered as it curved its massive trunk, its aura capable of reviving the fallen from death.

“I am the Nightmare King.”

A mythic being of shadowy illusion, demonic in its ferocity, gradually unveiled itself, exuding nightmare forces potent enough to plunge souls into eternal forgetfulness.

“I am the King of the Sea.”

A mythic presence coalesced from swirling ocean waters, its semi-transparent body casting an uneven silhouette, as it humbly dipped its head toward the Time Master.

“I am the True Dragon King.”

A colossal dragon gleamed with lustrous golden scales, its vast wings capable of eclipsing the firmament folded neatly, while a bloodline terror matching the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Dragons surged through it.

“Seven Kings, accompany me into battle,” the Time Master commanded with poise.

Eight devastating strikes from these horrors crashed against the confining barriers erected by the Martial Emperor at the cost of all his reserves.

The formidable enclosure, which the Time Master alone could barely rattle, now fractured explosively under the assault.
