Beast Taming Patrol Chapter 1585 - 443: The Final Battle (1) (Countdown to the Finale: 7)

"Team competition..."

A fierce murderous glint abruptly flared in the Time Master's gaze.

Even though it had no idea what this meant, the foe appeared to treat a desperate fight to the death as nothing more than a simple contest.

To the Time Master, such conduct felt like outright disdain and a deep affront.

On top of that, now with the Banyan Lord fully restored, eight legendary mythic entities had emerged all at once, turning what had been a guaranteed victory for the Time Master into a desperately tense standoff.

The sensation was overwhelming, like a clear path to triumph flipping into a brutal uphill struggle.

"Kill!"

That heavy resolve and fury poured into its golden pupils, shifting into a savage urge to slay.

The endless streams of time churned wildly, and in a flash, both the Time Master and Qiuqiu blinked out of sight.

They plunged into those time rivers, shifting the fight away from this spot and into the boundless flow of the timeline, tangled across moments from history, the now, and what was to come.

The Time Master had sparked this clash.

The motive was straightforward.

Right now, the Seven Kings' might drew in part from its command over Time Skills.

The Time Master couldn't tell if the enemy, who also wielded the Time Scripture and Time Skills, possessed a method to shatter that hold.

Should the foe manage it, the Seven Kings would drop straight back to their old ninth immortal realm power levels, and facing eight mythic foes, defeat would be total.

Qiuqiu, of course, grasped the Time Master's scheme.

From that initial glimpse, it had spotted the oddity in the other seven mythic entities.

Among mythic beings from different paths, this quirk might slip by unnoticed, but since Qiuqiu followed the Time path too, the Time Master's lingering marks on those seven stood out like glowing highlights in its vision.

Though Qiuqiu lacked the raw force to wipe away those seven mythic powers right away, with some time, it could likely pull it off.

Yet Qiuqiu held back from acting.

It trusted the rest to deal with those adversaries just fine, and even more, it was convinced it could take down the Time Master solo.

So when the Time Master launched this duel, Qiuqiu welcomed it without hesitation.

This was the showdown it had eagerly awaited for ages.

It had no desire for outsiders to meddle in it.

Right after the Time Master and Qiuqiu vanished, the remaining fourteen immortals collided in fierce combat.

In the Northern Divine Realm's zone nearest the Endless Sea, Lanlan faced off against the King of the Sea. Even before any real strikes landed, their clashing auras alone whipped up massive surges in the nearby ocean waters.

Guided by Lanlan's avatar of faith, the Endless Sea's inhabitants swiftly pulled back toward the Southern Wilderness seas, dodging the battle's fallout and cutting down on losses.

This move sparked even deeper thanks among the Endless Sea dwellers, sending a steady flow of faith energy over the miles to pool in the Heart of Faith that Lanlan clutched.

"Heh..." The King of the Sea let out a mocking snort at the sight, "You pretentious fake!"

As though some memory struck it, hatred and revulsion flickered across the King of the Sea's elemental humanoid form. The boundless water elements trailing it morphed into a colossal sea spanning almost a million meters in the empty void.

This void-born ocean acted like an extension of the King of the Sea's arm, and with a sharp sweep, it lashed out savagely at Lanlan.

"A pretentious fake like you has no right to live!"

As the words rang out, the enormous surge blotted out the heavens and drowned Lanlan's view entirely, seeming poised to obliterate all in its path with raw, furious might erupting from calm waters.

Each droplet felt potent enough to crack open the void itself!

"Hmph!"

Lanlan's face turned icy.

Gazing at the oncoming endless sea, it lifted a hand and jabbed forward decisively.

The Heart of Faith exploded with vivid radiance in that instant, its stored faith energy converting into a rushing flood that surged into the runes and arcane designs encircling Lanlan, setting them aglow with brilliant godly shine.

Through this, Lanlan's aura exploded upward immediately, and the sheer weight of it briefly stalled the advancing sea.

The very next second, infinite water elements gathered at Lanlan's fingertip, spinning into a protective water barrier.

This barrier matched the foe's immense size at nearly a million meters wide, laced with twisting water motifs and myriad runes pulsing with dread force, lending it an aura of profound enigma.

In a heartbeat, the monstrous wave, roaring like a wild predator, slammed into the barrier conjured by Lanlan's pointed finger.

At that crucial juncture, the wave halted abruptly.

No explosive clash erupted; some arcane force deep in the barrier tamed the wave's feral charge on contact, then flipped it around to hurl an even wilder backlash straight back at the King of the Sea!

Pure Water Spirit Talent Skill, the Water path's ultimate guard move, Vortex Water Refusal!

A potent technique akin to a swirling water rebound, one that sends strikes boomeranging along partial original trajectories.

And this Vortex Water Refusal from Lanlan wasn't the standard kind.

It was the Vortex Water Refusal boosted by the faith energy from the Endless Sea's inhabitants!

At the heart of the faith path lies the "devotion" of countless lives.

They revere a mighty being and bestow upon it extraordinary powers, and with ample faith energy, those powers can truly take shape in the world.
