Beastmaster of the Ages

The First All-Rounder Grandmaster of the Ages? Tianming was stunned. In front of me, who dares to claim to be all-rounded? He had lifebound beasts, totems, wonders, a physical body enhanced by his lifebound beasts to rival specters, and he had recently fixed his sole weakness: soul power. He had finally achieved a perfect battle form that surpassed any single cultivation system.

The Original Sin Pool controlled eight drops of cosmic god blood, each distinct in aura, shape, and essence, to form a circle around Qingyu.

But this is a good thing! From Wudi’s transformation, it was obvious that it would be a change of innate talent for her.

Tianming’s innate talent was inconceivable, with the Primordial Chaos Beasts and the decapath era godswords. Cosmic god blood had altered Wudi’s totems and the fundamental nature of his lifebound beast.

With that in mind, Tianming wondered whether, if he had received that drop of flameyellow cosmic god blood, would it have transformed his decapath era godswords into the auspicious beasts of the flameyellow divinities?

Definitely not.

Could it have added more power constructs to Ying Huo and the others?

Probably not.

That power structure wasn’t something that could be simply added. They manifested as beastly faces appearing on their bodies, and were the equivalent to thirty lifebound beasts merging into one. Such a change would certainly touch upon the very essence of the Primordial Chaos Beasts.

The inheritance of the flameyellow divinities’ cosmic god blood is probably still not as terrifying as that of the Primordial Chaos Beasts. It can’t fundamentally change them! He thought.

Thus, he would be delighted whether it was Wudi or Qingyu that had their talents transformed.

Wudi had already succeeded, and now it was Qingyu’s turn.

“The Eightpart Pantheons’ cosmic god blood!” Tianming clearly saw figures within those drops of cosmic god blood. There were wonderians, beastmasters, primalwingers, and others! They came in all shapes and sizes, but they all shared one common trait: their expressions were savage and ferocious. They furiously roared, gritting their teeth in frustration as they were unwillingly delivered to Qingyu.

Because of that, the scene was far more chaotic than when Wudi had transformed. His evolution had been a peaceful incident.

“Qingyu! I believe in you! Little Feng’s waiting for you to reunite with him. Don’t you dare lose!” This was, without a doubt, the most critical moment of Qingyu’s life. Her father’s success had shown her the future. Success would allow her to rise to the heavens, while failure would cost her life.

Everyone held their breath in anticipation. Wudi, who had been laughing moments ago, suddenly turned pale. He grabbed Tianming’s hand in a death grip.

“Say something, too!” Tianming urged.

“Yes, yes... Qingyu! Your father can’t lose you! If there really is reincarnation, we’ll search for your mother together, alright?” Wudi unsteadily said.

“Seriously?!”

To Tianming and Wudi’s surprise, the young woman showed not the slightest hint of fear. In fact, a moon-white flame ignited in her eyes, a physical manifestation of her unshakable belief and unwavering determination!

Tianming suddenly remembered that his sister had always been a strong, resilient, and unyielding woman. Her childhood traumas hadn’t defeated her; instead, she had killed Yuwen Shengcheng.

Back on Orderia, the oldgod blood given by the sun emperor had ruined her appearance and transformed her totems into a monstrous form, yet she had persisted all the same.

She didn’t just resemble Tianming in appearance. She shared his indomitable spirit as well.

She didn’t see disaster in the rebellious and unwilling drops of cosmic god blood, but opportunity!

“A person only has one life. I have things I want to do. I want to share my brother’s burdens. I want to wander the stars with Little Feng. I don’t want to be protected.... So why should I fear you?” she sneered. That was her spirit, the spirit of the tiny Li Saint Clan that was devoted to defying fate!

Sheer willpower ignited her soul. Everyone watched as she took a step toward the eight drops of cosmic god blood with Shuo Yue flying by her side. The two charged ahead like moths to a flame.

The cosmic god blood thunderously roared like caged beasts struggling against the Original Sin Pool’s restraints. They collided head-on with Qingyu, producing eight consecutive explosions. The pair clung to each other as they absorbed all eight drops. Eight different energy waves erupted from their bodies, forming eight layers of chaotic glowing mist that completely enveloped Qingyu.

A radiant, multicolored sphere shone above the sun, while beast faces and ghostly shadows flickered across its surface, emitting ghostly wails as they struggled to escape. However, an invisible force kept dragging them back inside.

The Original Sin Pool moved above Qingyu and flipped upside down before falling to cover both her and the colorful sphere. The black-and-gold patterns on its surface transformed into dragons that roared at the Eightpart Pantheons’ cosmic god blood imprisoned within the pool with deafening fury.

The entire sun trembled.

Fortunately, the blood was entirely suppressed by the Original Sin Pool. Otherwise, if it had broken free, the destruction would have been catastrophic. Even so, Tianming, Wudi, and the others still sensed the terrifying divine storm raging and assaulting Qingyu within.

”That cosmic god blood definitely doesn’t want to be absorbed by her. The only thing that can help her now is the Original Sin Pool!” Tianming gritted his teeth. Without the Original Sin Pool, they wouldn’t have even dreamed of forcibly seizing the Eightpart Pantheons’ inheritance.

”No, no, we can help her, too! If we all shout, she’ll hear us and it’ll give her more strength!” Wudi anxiously said.

”Shout what?” Tianming was dumbfounded.

”Qingyu! Keep going! Qingyu! Invincible! You’re the best!” Wudi shouted toward the Original Sin Pool at the top of his lungs.

”That works?” Tianming was stunned.

”Of course it will! Hurry and shout with me!” Wudi urged.

”Alright...!” Tianming didn’t shout alone, but also called out Lan Huang and rallied everyone on the Sun.

”Everyone, get ready! Begin!”

”Qingyu! Keep going! Qingyu! Invincible! You’re the best!”

Tianming felt a little embarrassed. Whatever. If she hears this and rushes out just to beat up her father, then mission accomplished. If he was the one in there, he wouldn’t be willing to die without coming out to give Wudi a good beating!

The Original Sin Pool kept shaking, as if an intense battle was raging inside between one person and eight giant beasts. The mere clamor was nerve-wracking. Though Tianming said he wasn’t nervous, his fists were tightly clenched.

”I’ll help wipe out the soul power attached to the cosmic god blood!” Bai Ye suddenly said.

The souls of cosmic gods were beyond Tianming’s imagination. He hadn’t expected them to still have a residual presence in the cosmic god blood after so long.

”Why didn’t you say so earlier?” Tianming glared at it.

”You never asked,” Bai Ye muttered.

”Then hurry up!”

Bai Ye’s misty form, carrying six infant souls, slipped through the cracks in the Original Sin Pool.

”The Original Sin Pool can’t stop you?” Tianming asked quickly, worried that Sixth might get obliterated.

”It left you, but it still sees you as one of its own. Since I cultivate with you, I stink like you. it’s basically a pass,” Bai Ye chuckled.

”Get lost!”

”Watch me work my magic!” Bai Ye dove in.

Moments later, it emerged and the tremors within the Original Sin Pool gradually subsided.

”You handled it?” Tianming was surprised at just how effective it was.

”Of course! But she did well, too!” Bai Ye replied.

”As expected of my sister!” Tianming finally breathed a sigh of relief.

”What does that have to do with you?” Wudi rolled his eyes, thumped his chest, and proudly declared, ”She’s my daughter! Of course she takes after me!”

Tianming was speechless and decided to let Wudi have this win.𝑓𝑟ℯℴ𝓂

Everyone finally relaxed.

The Flameyellow Coffin and the flameyellow cosmic god blood had merged with Wudi, making him the Flameyellow Imperator. The Original Sin Pool and the Eightpart Pantheons’ cosmic god blood had been forcibly seized by Qingyu, making her the Eightparts Holy Daughter.

The Ninemoon Goddess still sounded better, but anything was better than being called Original Sin.

”It seems the Original Sin Pool was a relic from that ancient battle meant to imprison the Eightpart Pantheons’ inheritance. In that aspect, the flameyellow divinities must’ve won back then. They managed to suppress the Eightpart Pantheons and create an Eightparts Holy Daughter!” It would be a nasty surprise for the Eightpart Pantheons that might be the key to breaking the current stalemate.

”Right now, only Godfather and Qingyu are pure descendants of the flameyellow divinities. How could the future of a flourishing Flameyellow Imperial Star not include them?” Fortunately, he had brought them the key, the Original Sin Pool! Otherwise he wouldn’t have had any idea how to move forward on the path.

”The dream the Sun Emperor couldn’t achieve is now manifesting in this father and daughter. From the birth of eight bane-rings, to nine bane-rings, then going to Orderia, and then the Oldgod Blood... perhaps this was always their destiny!” The pair had always been on the path of the Sun and the Flameyellow Imperial Star.

And now they could accompany Tianming on the road to empowering the Imperial Star.

Tianming’s gaze landed on Qingyu. ”The First All-Rounder Grandmaster of the Ages? Could she actually possess a specter’s body or a wonder embryo?” That would be too insane, as it meant that cosmic god blood could even alter one’s race. The answer soon became clear.

The Original Sin Pool gradually fell silent, but within it, an aura just as powerful as when Wudi had descended was awakening. But unlike his domineering aura, the new presence was a mix of various auras that came together to form a distinctive aura that was uniquely Qingyu’s!

If Tianming was a blazing sun, she was a luminous moon, ethereal and transcendent.

The Original Sin Pool shot into the air, rapidly shrinking until it became a small gold-and-black bowl, revealing the Eightparts Holy Daughter and a peng bird. Enveloped in moon-white light, she was like a celestial deity descending to the mortal realm.

Divine patterns flowed across her eyes, face, and delicate frame. Beside her, the snow-white kunpeng had undergone a shocking transformation, its bloodline and essence now that of a ’flameyellow celestial beast’.

Flameyellow celestial beast referred to the blood-red kunpeng, Uncle Taixu, and was the name Wudi had just coined for it.

”20-crest!” Tianming counted. Shuo Yue had also become a cosmic crest beast. It had twenty energy constructs, with nineteen beast faces beneath its snowy feathers that each pulsed with power of their own.

Eightsource beasts, ninesource beasts, tensource beasts, 20-crest cosmic crest beasts.... That was the foundation of innate talent. The greater the number, the greater the ability to fight above your level.

”Shuo Yue doesn’t have as many crests as Uncle Taix, but its transformation probably came from just one of the eight droplets.” The other seven transformations were likely within Qingyu herself. Thus, her divine radiance was fading more slowly than Shuo Yue’s.

”What else changed?” Tianming and Wudi eagerly watched.
