Beastmaster of the Ages

Even if Sixth managed to escape this time around, it would no doubt run at the sight of Tianming the next time they met. That would make it impossible to catch!

No, I can’t let this ideal chance go. What can I do.... Not even he knew what he could do at that point; he simply tried to push his vita tight against Sixth’s spiritform astrons as tightly as he could.

”What’re you doing?!” Sixth cried. ”Waah! Don’t come here! Go away! No, not there, please!”

Tianming almost wanted to do a doubletake from its reactions. All he was trying to do was make his vita enter Sixth’s mouth. It was nowhere as bad as it was making it sound.

”Aaaah!” Tianming had become the dominant, putting Sixth completely on the defensive.

”Aaagh! Blergh! Ugh!” The infectious power of the evil impulses was nothing to scoff at. While it didn’t do any inherent damage to Sixth, it had the same effect as manure would have on Tianming. Being covered in it, and even having some in the mouth, was something that could well make someone cry.

”Well, why’re you holding back? You came all this way, so eat up!”

Anything Sixth swallowed would be spat right out. The dark mist that entered its body remained, despite its desperate attempts to expel it from its body. In fact, it even began permeating other parts of its body.

”Bleeeeergh!” Sixth was going insane with the puking and couldn’t even move! The tiny, fat infant made from spiritform astrons had a completely green and purple face. If it had legs, they would be shaking nonstop. It couldn’t even stop as more and more evil impulses surrounded it the moment it spat some of it out. Tianming could basically control the evil impulses with his emotions, and he was feeling excited!

”You stupid child, how dare you fight me? I’ll stink you up to high heaven! Eat up!” Tianming stuffed the soft, stinky matter into the rowdy child’s mouth as he held it down. ”Eat all you can! I won’t let you leave until you clean your plate!”

It was wildly cathartic. After having been menaced by Sixth for so long, Tianming could finally get back at it. The exhilaration only made his evil impulses even wilder than before, staining the fat infant’s face completely black.

”Blergh!”

”Eat up! Go on!”

”Gaaack!”

”I said eat up!”

Sixth’s mind completely crumbled. It was even more terrible than dying. ”Li Tianming... let’s talk... like reasonable... people... instead of using violence!”

”I don’t want to talk. All I want to do is watch you eat!”

”What’ll it take for you... to let me go...? Blergh!” Every astron in its body shook itself hollow and grew completely dim. It was in a state similar to a bedridden human.

Tianming had never eaten shit before, so he couldn’t truly understand what Sixth was feeling. It was so weak that it couldn’t even escape. Sternly, he said, ”You’ve been far too naughty, so I won’t let you off just like that. Let’s keep going until you puke yourself to death!”

”Huh?!” Sixth desperately cried, ”No! Don’t do this to me! I’m your lifebound beast!”

”What kind of lifebound beast tries to kill its beastmaster?! Haha! Eat up! I’ve never fed you, even though you’ve grown so big. I’ll make sure to fill you up today!”

”I was wrong! I won’t do it again!”

”Even so, you must eat!”

”Please... tell me what I can do... for you to spare me... Bleeeeaaaargh!” That was the harshest Sixth had puked. Its astrons scrambled and wildly scattered within Tianming’s astral brain.

”How about this... I’ll give you one final chance, since we’re still bound by fate.”

”What is it?” Hope finally returned to Sixth’s eyes.

”Let’s start symbiotic cultivation right now! Form a cultivation foundation with me.”

Sixth was silent.

”Don’t want to? Well, you can keep eating then!”

”Big Brother! I give up! I submit! I’ll be your pet! Waaaaah!” The brat finally lowered its head and pathetically sobbed. Not even in its wildest dreams would it ever have imagined that it’d be defeated by shit. Its glorious deeds had all been tainted by this one humiliating moment! It caved, its mind completely broken.

”Pet?” Tianming couldn’t hold back his laughter. ”Do you think mere pets get fed delicacies like this?”

”Bring that piece of shit away! Quickly!” Sixth howled.

”Cultivate first!”

”Yes, Big Brother! I’ll do whatever you say!”

”Who are you?”

”I’m Sixth—Little Bro Sixth! Waaaah!”

Thus, the saga of the Invincible Ultimate God of Old came to an end, resting in a pile of shit before it even achieved an inch of the glory its title deserved.

Among the Primordial Chaos Beasts, five so far had their own cultivation codexes. Ji Ji didn’t have one, as it was an energy lifeform. While Sixth was powerful, that power mostly came from its makeshift version of omnisentient power. In actuality, it was still in a just-hatched state and hadn’t properly cultivated before!

Tianming asked, ”Do you have a cultivation codex?”

”Yes!” Sixth defiantly snapped, despite acting so obedient moments ago.

”What’s it called?” Tianming had five different codexes from Ying Huo, Meow Meow, Lan Huang, Xian Xian, and Yin Chen, all of which he used to generate cosmoforce.

”The Celestial Sourcepath Codex!” Sixth said.

”Transfer it to me and let’s cultivate together. I’ll let you lead!” Tianming coldly said.

”I....” It seemed flustered, probably still plotting to see if it could get one over Tianming.

”Hurry!” Tianming surrounded the brat with his ’shitty’ astrons once more.

”Waaah!” It immediately gave up at the sight of the filth. After the symbiotic cultivation started, it would be completely bound to Tianming and would never be able to escape, let alone harm him! Once the connection had been formed, it would be just like Ying Huo and the rest.

”Go, start now!” Tianming inched closer.

”I’m starting right away! Blerrghh...!”

Tianming had an infernal heart, primordial lungs, genesis spleen, radix liver, and immortal kidneys. Ji Ji, unlike its siblings, directly attached to Tianming’s body.

Up to that point, Tianming’s astral brain had been his weakest astral organ. He didn’t have a particularly strong talent for soul cultivation, nor did he have a good method to cultivate it, and had had to rely entirely on the Skysoul Tower’s protection.

But when the Celestial Sourcepath Codex began circulating within his brain to form a base structure for symbiotic cultivation, he could finally begin cultivating his soul! The advantage of Sixth is that it can carry quite a bit of energy on its own, so it doesn’t need the unique conditions of hatching to begin symbiotic cultivation and can go all out right away!

It could share its soul power with Tianming and immediately skyrocket his vita’s power. The moment their bodies and souls connected, Sixth broke out in tears.

”Now, you can finally take that stinky stuff away from me, right?”

”No problem!” Tianming cleared his throat. His mind was clear like never before, causing the evil impulses to seep back into his astrons.

”Phew....” Sixth could finally relax.

Everyone else within the lifebound space was stupefied. At the very end, all the silver insects raised their little appendages up high and cheered, ”Civilized society! Civilized society!”
