Beastmaster of the Ages

”So the natives of this place are specters, while orderlies spawn from the Sea of Order. The wonderians are the invaders....” Tianming finally had a clear idea of what was going on. In many other places in the astralscape of order, wonderians also often acted as power brokers who manipulated local factions in their favor.

This golden specter must have had quite a lot of allies who could eventually be of use. Tianming asked, ”How many god domains are there?”

”Nine in total,” Jin Lin respectfully said toward Zi Zhen.

”So they get stronger the higher the number is?” Tianming asked.

”Of course!” Jin Lin glared at him. ”God Domain Nine is the strongest and at the central-most location of the Sea of Order. There’s a hundred thousand eyes of heaven there, and even elite cosmic gods!”

”So you’re saying there are no cosmic gods in God Domain One?” Tianming raised an eyebrow.

”Asking stupid questions again...! How could there be cosmic gods in God Domain One? This is the transit point between the Ancient Oldgod Domain and the lower world. It’s more like a port! Beneath God Domain One lie the many nations of the Xenoabyss,” Jin Lin said. He sounded really proud, because his ancestors used to control this place. To them, nations like Antiquitas Mortis were considered to be the lower world compared to the Ancient Oldgod Domain.

Tianming more or less had a rough idea of the place’s history now and decided to ask about the key points. With a stern look, he said, ”So do you know anything about the Nightfiend?”

Tianming had Ji Ji use its power to completely seal off their surroundings. He worried that Sixth would possess Jin Lin like the last time he tried to do so.

”Nightfiend?” Jin Lin’s eyes widened and stared at them like a fool.

”We’re the Nightfiend’s friends,” Tianming said.

”Is my goddess the Nightfiend’s friend?” Jin Lin had seemingly erased Tianming and Moran’s presence from Tianming’s statement. He looked at Zi Zhen with an incredibly worshipful expression. ”I knew there was a reason why my goddess was so terrifying! To think that your background was so mysterious and that the Nightfiend was your friend!”

”Stop talking crap and just tell us what you know about the Nightfiend,” Tianming said.

”How dare a servant like you speak to me with that tone?!” Jin Lin still felt that he should have a higher status than Tianming even if he had submitted to Zi Zhen.

”Do you want to die?” Zi Zhen said, brows furrowing.

”I’ll do as he says!” Jin Lin glared at Tianming and swallowed his rage. ”When it comes to the Nightfiend... every detail truly makes my blood boil!”

”Get to the point,” Tianming siad. ”Fine! One day, the Nightfiend appeared in God Domain One all of a sudden and crashed into the Order College. Countless orderlies discovered him.”

”What happened next?”

”Imagine a specter showing up out of nowhere and crashing into their sacred Order College, where specters are seen as lower than dogs. There was an uproar! Countless orderlies surrounded him!” Jin Lin sounded more and more agitated.

”Keep going.”

”Then something unthinkable happened!” Jin Lin slapped his chest with fervor. ”The Nightfiend has a hole in his chest that devours orderlies! No matter how powerful the orderly was, they could only be sucked in and devoured like insects! Most of the aloof orderlies weren’t able to resist in the slightest!”

On the one hand, Tianming absolutely dominated as the Galactic Emperor in the astralscape of order. Meanwhile, Lingfeng used the legacy of the Primordial Demonlord to devour the orderlies nonstop. The two legacies of the Primordial God-Emperor and the Primordial Demonlord were absolutely incomprehensible.

It was clear that Lingfeng’s ability was the core of his legacy. While orderlies were able to control normal specters, they were fundamentally unable to resist becoming Lingfeng’s nourishment due to the nature of being spiritual bodies that were spawned from the Sea of Order.

”Come to think of it, the Nightfiend got stronger the more he consumed! There was a bloodbath at Order College! It seemed like people and gods alike weren’t immune to his devouring at all. Not even overflower orderlies stood a chance!” Jin Lin said, ecstatic.

”So who stopped him?” Tianming asked. The fact that God Domain One seemed so peaceful meant that the Nightfiend’s chaotic rampage had ended. Lingfeng must have been subdued, or he would’ve taken over the entire place by now.

”When the branch of Order College in God Domain Nine got word of that, all the orderlies were shocked and saw the Nightfiend as a race-ending threat. All their elites descended to God Domain One. Even cosmic gods showed up! Those are true astral giants of around a hundred meters in height!” Jin Lin said, shocked.

”Cosmic gods, huh? Was the Nightfiend able to fight them?” Tianming was quite surprised that Lingfeng would stumble into a place where his unique talents were so effective. As his order was simpler than Tianming’s, perhaps he had a much easier time breaking through.

”He definitely wasn’t able to defeat them, but I heard that even cosmic-god orderlies were afraid of touching the Nightfiend in fear of accidentally being consumed. If even a single one was eaten, the Nightfiend might’ve been able to sweep the entire Ancient Oldgod Domain!”

”So, the orderly race found someone to help them, eh?”

”Aren’t you a smart one?” Jin Lin said, looking at Tianming with contempt.

”Can you stop talking crap?” Zi Zhen growled.

”Yes, yes, yes....” Jin Lin immediately relented. ”The shameless orderlies were so terrified that they looked for two terrifying helpers to deal with the Nightfiend.”

”Two? So one of them must be a wonderian. What’s the other?” Tianming asked.

”A terrible being! It’s said that it came from the Sea of Order, possessing terrifying soul power. It’s able to borrow the mouths of others to speak and control countless orderlies at once. All the orderlies refer to it as a distant ancestor, calling it the Invincible Ultimate God of Old. Everyone from God Domains One to Nine worship it!”

Tianming and Ying Huo were speechless. It was Sixth again!

”Invincible Ultimate God of Old? I bet it came up with that title itself!” Ying Huo said with a laugh.

”I knew it... it’s an edgelord,” Tianming sighed in resignation. Still, he hadn’t expected the misbehaving brat would take over the orderlies and the entire Ancient Oldgod Domain. ”So it wasn’t lying at all. This really is its territory!”

Tianming had a feeling that dealing with his sixth Primordial Chaos Beast would be much more troubling than he expected. It had even managed to masquerade as the distant ancestor of all orderlies, a faction with cosmic gods that controlled the order fragments from the Sea of Order!
