Beastmaster of the Ages

Chapter 3263 - Maybe I’m Blessing You

As the Soulblend Formation compressed further, the pressure on Tianming and Eminent Jiguang increased. Her totems grasped the decapath era godswords again, using both hands to force them into their bodies. The vines extending from the walls of the formation had completely entangled and bound each pair of totems.

According to Eminent Jiguang’s plan, the process would be excruciating for Tianming because his totems had only one simulacrum. Even with the protection of the Soulblend Formation, their essence was too fragile, like tender seeds.

But the current situation was that the one in agony was her! For the sake of her dignity, her face hidden under the pink mist had turned red, her eyes were brimming with tears, and her teeth were nearly biting through her lower lip.

It was obvious how painful it was for a tenth-level foundationeer to be pushed to such an extent. If it wasn’t for her pride, she would have screamed in pain and retreated long ago. Suishen Yao’s comment, ‘Are you being unreliable again?’, had provoked her. Despite the unbearable pain, she grit her teeth and held on.

She could keep herself from making a sound, but she couldn’t stop the trembling of her delicate body.

But that wasn’t the worst part.

What made her feel like coughing out blood was Tianming’s curious voice from across from her. ”Eminent, are you unable to hold on? If you can’t, should we take a break?”

”Shut up!” Eminent Jiguang was infuriated by the two kids. She desperately held on, still trying to maintain her composure even as tears slid down her cheeks.

However, as the Soulblend Formation continued shrinking, the pressure to fuse the totems increased, inevitably bringing her and Tianming closer. The diameter had shrunk from ten meters to three.

That was the smallest distance Eminent Jiguang had set. She’d thought that five meters would suffice, but due to unforeseen circumstances, it had compressed to three meters. Even then, the decapath era godswords were still not fully subdued. In fact, there seemed to be a stalemate.

The real problem was that because of the twenty totems around them, the diameter of three meters meant the two were now less than half a meter apart. As long as Tianming wasn’t blind, he could see her flushed face, her tears, her trembling body.... It was all very delicate and pitiful.

Tianming was stunned. He had known it would hurt her, but he hadn’t expected it to be so bad. In contrast, he felt like an outsider. He was relaxed and at ease, surrounded by a paradise of beautiful women.

Just as he was about to comfort her, Eminent Jiguang glared at him and, biting her red lip, said, ”You aren’t allowed to speak!”

She was getting stern, so Tianming quickly shut his mouth with a sheepish grin. This side of the dignified Eminent Jiguang was quite charming to watch as well.

”Close your eyes!” Eminent Jiguang commanded. Because of the pain, each word she spoke was unsteady.

”Yes.” Tianming didn’t understand what she intended to do, so he obediently closed his eyes. The next moment, he felt her fragrance approaching, and, in a blur, she pressed herself close to him. The further compression of the Soulblend Formation tightly pressed them together.

Such a sensation... Tianming took a deep breath, maintaining his composure against his evil impulses. Fortunately, Eminent Jiguang’s imposing presence kept him from raising his head. Though she was in a sorry state, everything was still under her control.

At that moment, the Soulblend Formation pressed down on his head and feet, indicating it was now less than two meters in height. The two of them in the center meant the twenty totems around them were extremely crowded.

Eminent Jiguang, to ensure complete fusion, had compressed the Soulblend Formation to three meters, then to even less than two meters.

And her efforts paid off. The aurora nymphs and the decapath era godswords finally decided a winner as the Soulblend Formation reached its limit, leading to their official fusion.

However, it wasn’t the aurora nymphs that devoured the decapath era godswords. Instead, Tianming’s decapath era godswords absorbed the high-fold totems filled with totemic power into their sword bodies. A beautiful aurora nymph appeared on the blade of each decapath era godsword.

The totems had completely fused.

The joining of terra and terra and terra and vita created a pleasure that spread through their bodies upon success.

A sudden fire was ignited in Tianming’s heart!

Not even Eminent Jiguang could suppress the fierce emotion. The two-thousand-year-old eminent, of course, understood what was happening.

”You dare?” Her eyes flashed with fierceness as she glared at Tianming.

Tianming, startled by her eminent’s pressure and Suishen Yao’s watchful eyes, quickly replied, ”I dare not!”

”If you don’t dare, then stop it!” Eminent Jiguang’s fierce tone couldn’t mask her accelerated heartbeat. But thinking of him as just a child, she couldn’t stay angry.

”Stop? I can’t! I....” Tianming felt incredibly awkward. Even with his eyes closed, the divine visage of Eminent Jiguang still remained seared in his mind.

”Fine!” Eminent Jiguang didn’t dare to recklessly move either, especially with Suishen Yao curiously watching. Any large movements would make her lose her dignity as an aunt.

”The totems are fused, now focus. Follow my guidance to cultivate! If you let your mind wander and waste this totemic bonding with me, you’ll regret it later when you miss out on the blessings,” Eminent Jiguang sternly said.

”Yes!” But Tianming wanted to say, Isn’t it my totem suppressing yours now? Maybe I’m blessing you?

Of course, he could only think that.

Following Eminent Jiguang’s guidance, he fully concentrated on the totems, feeling their resonance and extracting their traits, integrating them into himself. As Eminent Jiguang had said, the process wasn’t difficult and he indeed felt his decapath era godswords—those ten seeds—rapidly growing under the nurturing of her totems.

Even if my totem’s essence is higher, suppressing hers in attributes, her totem is richer in raw power. Thus, I provide quality, and she provides raw power. It truly is a perfect symbiotic cultivation of totems!
