Beastmaster of the Ages

The middle finger was like an astralship as it advanced frighteningly fast. It had become the sharpest of spears, and as it stabbed out, the cosmos seemed to be pierced through and the sea of stars parted.

Ahead, a world the size of the Divine Moon Realm appeared. “Let it be you then!”

The Skypierce Finger and the world collided.

On the opposite end of the stellunar source world, black light pierced through—the finger had actually penetrated a stellunar source! That meant that even the fusion formation had been broken through. The next moment, stellunar source began spewing out of the two holes like a balloon leaking air. And the very next moment, the entire world exploded. Piercingly bright light and debris swallowed Tianming up.

”Still remaining are the Skyveil Palm and Skyseal Fist, the other supreme techniques of my race. Find me when you’ve mastered the Skypierce Finger! Remember, remember! The might of this finger, palm, and fist are decided by the strength of the Fiendsky Arm. If you want to be as mighty as me, the nova source inner core is the only path forward!”

While he was stunned, Tianming’s caelum was thrown out of that world. “The Skypierce Finger!” he couldn’t help but spit out, “Why’s it the middle finger? If Ling’er uses her middle finger, too, does that mean it’ll be a face-off between middle fingers?”

That was an unbearable image to imagine.

Tianming returned to the quiet wooden house. There was no longer any activity there. “Still, it’s definitely true that that Skypierce Finger was mighty.” He looked at his Plundering Eye. It had returned to normal with the taiji circle and three of the nine dots lit up.

When the black dot was activated, it would be in the training mode for the Fiendsky Arm. It hadn’t been strengthened yet, so there was no way it was ‘the hardest arm in the universe’ yet. A divine artifact like the Godsin would easily be able to chop it off. It needed tempering!

The Fiendsky Arm was the sky plunderer’s innate ability.

“Coincidentally, I can reach the nova source’s inner core now. The nova source there is the most terrifying.” It was likely even scarier than grade-nine divine hazards. It was the purest, most violent and explosive form of power.

The Fiendsky Arm didn’t absorb elemental hazards. Instead, it used nova source inner cores for tempering. It was like forging a weapon that needed repeated tempering. Tianming had the premonition that tempering his arm would be even worse than absorbing sword ki. However, he was still willing to give it a shot! Otherwise, this third sky plunderer ability he had activated wouldn’t even be of use and he wouldn’t be able to use the Skypierce Finger.

“Fatesteal may be the peak of the nine abilities, but I don’t dare to use it. Vitasteal is the first ability, but it isn’t that useful. The Fiendsky Arm is the foundation of the sky plunderers, so there’s no reason not to train it.” Basically, today was the day that Tianming truly stepped on the path of the sky plunderers. “In the past, my black arm didn’t have any special characteristics, so no one in the Mysterium Cluster paid much attention. Firstly, there were already many people with strange appearances. A weird arm was common, and it didn’t have any shocking techniques either. But now that I’m starting to cultivate it, people may start paying attention to it.” Still, he decided to courageously advance!

……

“Did your black arm make you go nuts? You want to temper yourself here?” Ying Huo looked at the endless expanse of flaming nova source ahead, and even it was frightened. Fortunately, the fusion formation was protecting them, so they weren’t swallowed up. Their location was already considered the core of the sun.

Tianming had relied on the fusion formation’s passageway to safely reach the core. They were surrounded by deafening booms. The rampaging nova source was like a massive monster howling and smashing into the fusion formation. There seemed to be countless such beasts there.

It was like he had returned to the center of the storm at Primary. They were at a peaceful spot, but all around them, the world was in turmoil. Tianming felt like a mortal that might be torn apart at any moment. It reminded him of when he was young; he had stood in the center of the vast sea and been filled with deep terror toward his surroundings.

This was the power of the universe itself! It was violent and explosive, but it could also nurture life and was the source of all energy. There, anyone would learn more respect for nature.

“It seems that even solarians are insignificant before nova source. A human’s power can’t possibly stand up to the universe. Even a sovereign is just a slightly larger ant. However, these ants are smart. They know how to seal up nova sources so they can slowly use them.” Fusion formations were the foundation of humanity’s slow ‘conquest’ of nature. Tianming’s heart was filled with respect. In recent times, he had the habit of not wasting time. He immediately prepared the Fiendsky Arm for tempering.

As he had already merged with the solar core, it was simple for him to extend an arm out of the passageway. There wasn’t any physical difficulty, only the mental courage needed.

“It’s truly the hardest arm in the universe. It may just be able to compete with my feathers,” Ying Huo sniggered.

“Stop asking for trouble before I crush your balls.” Tianming glared.

“Ah, so that’s why you’re training your hand,” Ying Huo disdainfully scoffed.

Tianming couldn’t be bothered with it. His Fiendsky Arm was already through the gap and that senior had already said the arm couldn’t be destroyed by the tempering. Tianming didn’t slide it through inch by inch, but straightforwardly extended all of it in.

His arm vanished into the maelstrom and his face immediately turned red. He was hanging from the wall, unable to extricate his arm at all. His mouth flapped open, but no sound came out.

After a short pause, he let out a piercing shriek. “HEEEEEELP!”

It felt even worse than grade-eight divine hazard sword ki.

“Ehhhh, and here I thought you could hold on?” Ying Huo sinisterly said.

“Then you try?” Tianming’s face alternated between green and purple as he panted.

“Nah, I think I’m good. I don’t need tempering. It’s only weirdos like you who were born inferior that need hard work later on to make up for it.”

Fuck! When he thought about how this was going to be a regular thing for the Fiendsky Arm, Tianming found himself very unlucky.

Yes, it was easier than learning the ninth sword, but it hurt so fucking bad!
