Beastmaster of the Ages

”If she manages to successfully assimilate the grade-four overflow fragment as well, her level would be the same as my grandfather’s,” Jin Ding said, eyes wide and shuddering.

”The chances of breaking through with a grade-three overflow fragment are only around one in four, yet she managed to do it. Will she manage to succeed with this grade-four fragment with a success rate of only one in five?”

The success rate actually depended on the specific person. Some people managed with only a single fragment, while others needed a few. Zi Zhen had broken through three times in a row before their very eyes, so she already seemed like a monster that couldn’t fail no matter what.

However, it would come to be proven that not even she was that awesome.

She didn’t break through to the fourth level of the Overflow stage after using the grade-four overflow fragment. Instead, her level was fixed at the third level and her height had reached twenty-four meters. Even though she had failed the final breakthrough, the four aurumites were still shaken.

”It might not have caused a breakthrough, but the benefits of the fragment no doubt remain within her and caused her order to grow considerably. She’ll have a much easier time breaking through if there are more grade-four overflow fragments,” Jin Xiao said. ”It’s a shame that God Domain One doesn’t have overflow fragments beyond grade five. Most of them are in the hands of the orderlies. Even the grade-four fragment we had was something we kept hidden for a thousand years....”

The fact that they had given something so precious to Zi Zhen showed how high their expectations were. But they’d had no choice—all the women in their families had been kidnapped. If they didn’t use their resources to fight now, when would they?

Zi Zhen wrapped up her cultivation and her eyes snapped open. Two terrifying beams of purple light fell on the four before her. Jin Lin immediately paled and started shaking. Jin Ding only chattered a few times, while Jin Shang subconsciously backed away. Jin Xiao drew a cold breath.

Though their reactions differed in intensity, they all showed some degree of fear toward the pressure Zi Zhen was now emanating. At the tenth level of the Foundation stage, she had been able to defeat Jin Lin. No doubt, she would be able to fight someone much stronger after the breakthroughs.

Tianming looked up at the girl of gigantic proportions and levitated to her face. Her purple eyes looked like ponds to him.

”Why’d you turn small? You look like a mosquito!” Zi Zhen said with a chuckle.

”You’re the one that got big and strong! In more places than one....”

”You!” Zi Zhen never would have thought that her size would be the first thing he noticed. She immediately flushed red from the shock.

”What does that brat think he’s saying? Why does it look like he’s making our goddess feel embarrassed?” Jin Lin grit his teeth hard from rage.

”Does that have anything to do with you?” his father, grandfather, and great-grandfather asked in unison.

”I must be seeing things! It can’t be true!” Jin Lin still didn’t dare to trust what he saw. Fortunately, he hadn’t heard what Tianming actually said or he would cough out blood in fury.

Zi Zhen was still getting used to her new body. Her astrons had grown much stronger than before and Tianming was even smaller than her fingers. Not to mention, she was a specter, so she’d already had thousands of times more astrons than Tianming did. Not even when combined with his four seventh-level foundationeer beasts would he have that many astrons.

”How does it feel?” Tianming asked.

”I feel so strong that it seems ridiculous.... I really want to test my limits.” Her eyes shone with pride and passion.

”Luckily for you, I have someone you can test yourself against!” Tianming couldn’t wait to see.

”Oh?” Zi Zhen looked down at the tiny Moran and chuckled. ”So it’s for her sake, eh?”

”Yes.” Tianming nodded.

He was worried that Zi Zhen wouldn’t agree, but she immediately nodded. ”Alright then, let’s go.”

”Just like that?!” Tianming said, surprised.

”You’re so daft! She’s doing it to get Little Fish to owe her a favor,” Xian Xian said.

”For real? Come to think of it, since when did you understand women so much?” Tianming asked.

”Isn’t it obvious? It’s because I’m a female plant!” Xian Xian said with a glare.

”Oh, forgive me, my lady....”

Since Zi Zhen seemed to be itching for a fight, Tianming didn’t drag it out. ”Ask them if they’ll listen to what you say.”

”Okay.” She nodded and turned to the four aurumite specters. ”There’s a group of wonderians I’m going to hunt down and kill. I need you all to follow me.”

”Understood!” Unexpectedly, all four of them seemed pumped to follow in her tracks. They really couldn’t be blamed after seeing Zi Zhen’s impressive subsequent breakthroughs, not to mention that the wonderians were already their enemies to begin with.

”Let’s go.” Even though Zi Zhen was a giant, she wasn’t large compared to everyone else in God Domain One. Not only that, she was also much faster. Tianming was only just able to match her in speed with Fiveway Blitzrun while carrying Moran with him.

”Do we need to fight later?” Moran asked.

”I’m not sure if those wonderians will recognize Zhoutian Shenhai’s divine wonders or not. The enemies are also far too strong, so it’s meaningless for us to join the fight. Just leave it to Zi Zhen and stay hidden,” Tianming said.

”Alright.” Moran nodded, her eyes filled with the desire to become just as powerful as Zi Zhen was. Her expression was rather fierce.

”Soon, I’ll be able to leave the matters of the Ancient Oldgod Domain to you all.” All these years, Tianming had led the charge in almost every fight he was involved in. It was rather nice to have someone take the pressure off his shoulders for once.

”The only thing we aren’t sure about is whether the wonderians have left....”

The group snuck into one of the eyes of heaven in the sky. Yin Chen wasn’t of much use up there, but Ji Ji was amazing. The moment it entered the eye of heaven, it enveloped it in its entirety.

”Are they still there?” Tianming asked.

The wonderians usually didn’t enter eyes of heaven, but this group had. Not to mention, their strength was well matched against Zi Zhen’s. They might even have overflow fragments! If their raid succeeded, they would hit the jackpot.

”They’re there!” Ji Ji answered, ”But we have to hurry up. They’re near the Order Formation. I think they’re going to head to the Xenoabyss.”

”Make a path for Zi Zhen,” Tianming said.

”Okay!” Their targets were there.

”Jin Lin, Jin Ding, you two should stay here,” Jin Xiao said after getting a good handle on the wonderians’ strength. They wouldn’t be of help even if they joined, so Tianming understood the decision.

”Protect them,” the old man said while looking at Tianming and Moran.
