Beastmaster of the Ages

Ji Ji entered the eye of heaven first. Half of the energy that eyes of heaven contained was soul power, while the other half was similar to nova source, which Ji Ji could take control of by infusing some of its genesis ancestral nova source inside. As they were rather deep in the center of the eye, the energy that turned pink didn’t draw too much attention.

Thanks to Ji Ji, Tianming and the others were able to enjoy full privacy within the eye of heaven. Ji Ji could lock onto a target really easily inside, too; Yin Chen’s bodies couldn’t enter the eyes of heaven at all.

”I found him,” Ji Ji said.

”Lead the way,” Tianming said. When they entered, Ji Ji helped channel some of the eye’s energy into Moran’s body. That way, Tianming wouldn’t have to escort her. In fact, she could move faster on her own.

The three figures quietly approached their target. Soon, Tianming got a good look at the fellow, who seemed to be cultivating in the eye of heaven. His physical body must be pretty tough to be able to cultivate here....

The man who shouted the slogan was a specter about ten meters in height with messy, gold hair. His entire body seemed to have a metallic golden sheen. He wore nothing but a pair of pants, showing his well-toned body for all to see. Every single part of his body seemed perfectly sculpted and optimized, made from dense overflower astrons.

”He’s an overflower!” Tianming’s eyes narrowed with some surprise. That was the last stage of an astral god before they became cosmic gods! The specter didn’t look that old, either, yet his cultivation level was already that high. But when Tianming recalled how order fragments basically rained down on a world like this, it no longer felt that out of place.

”Even so, his bloodline seems comparable in quality to the Yumo bloodline.” Apart from Zi Zhen, this was the only specter in the Xenoabyss Tianming had seen with such a powerful bloodline aura.

Not only did he have the perfect physique for fighting, he also had sharp and handsome features. His large size also made him appear rather domineering and fierce.

”He looks almost identical to a human....” The Yumos were mostly humanoid, but there was still something about them that stood out. As for specters like Huang Daolie, they had bestial features even in their human form. The bull-headed specters in Antiquitas Mortis even had snake tails. Meanwhile, on Tianming’s side, Lingfeng and Zi Zhen looked completely human without transforming.

Even though the specter was an overflower, Tianming wasn’t afraid. They stepped forward toward him, but before they could say a word, the golden specter’s eyes snapped open. Two beams of divine radiance instantly fell upon them, feeling like two mountains’ worth of pressure.

Tianming puffed his chest out to take some of that pressure. However, the specter only glanced at him and Moran for a split second before setting eyes on Zi Zhen. Then his eyes widened so much that the light was ten times more intense than before.

”A... a woman!” He seemed to lose his voice as powerful desire surged in his eyes. ”A young one! She’s my type...!” He stood up all of a sudden, his junior rising up with him to full mast and visible through his pants. Not even Zi Zhen’s waist would be able to accommodate something of that caliber....

Neither Tianming nor Zi Zhen would have imagined their first encounter to be something like that. It was far too direct! Zi Zhen was completely stunned when the lion-like specter looked at her like an eligible mate. There was nothing in his eyes apart from the pure instinct to pair up.

Zi Zhen’s rage surged from the sheer disrespect. How many years had the guy been holding back for him to act so uncouth?! Not to mention, he was looking at her like a piece of meat in front of the man whose attention she was trying to win and being jealous over! It was utter humiliation!

Tianming felt a terrifying aura beside him. Zi Zhen had bitten through her lip with her fangs, her eyes pulsing with rage.

”I WANT THAT FEMALE!” the golden specter yelled, his body surging with overflower cosmoforce. His order was like a sea of gold that swept toward Tianming and the other two, though his target was Zi Zhen alone. The others were nothing but annoying insects to him.

”Die!” Zi Zhen snapped. Her demure appearance instantly morphed as her astrons expanded, turning the girl into a three-eyed, nine-irised fiend. The golden specter still retained his human form, so a hellfiend like Zi Zhen—complete with messy fur and sharp talons and spikes—starkly contrasted against him.

Her appearance was far more terrifying than the golden specter’s, though he quickly snapped out of it and said, ”Amazing!”

He liked her even more. Tianming couldn’t help but facepalm at the sight of him like that.

”It’s over for him....” Not even Tianming would dare to mess with Zi Zhen when she was like that; her temper was nothing to scoff at. Even with only a single ninehall eye, she was able to fight him on an almost equal level, despite having only been a fourth-level foundationeer, through physical capability alone. But now she had advanced to the tenth level.

As for her eyes, three of them had turned from purple to pitch black. Three of her ninehall eyes were active! Her physical capabilities shot through the roof, completely sweeping away the golden specter’s cosmoforce.

All of a sudden, she disappeared. The aftershock from her sudden movement pushed Tianming into Moran. With a single claw swipe, the golden specter was sent flying, blood exploding from his body.

Zi Zhen charged toward him again and used her tail to pierce his body, followed by tens of thousands of her long, sharp hairs, turning his body into a fleshy mess. Her claws dug deep into his neck.

The specter coughed out golden blood as fear finally surfaced in his eyes. ”Goddess, mercy! I won’t dare to do that anymore!” He broke out in tears and closed his eyes, not daring to look Zi Zhen straight on.

Tianming felt a chill in his loins for some reason after witnessing the sight.
