Beastmaster of the Ages

Tianming had had enough. Other than those who liked to pretend to be weak to show off better, who would willingly be despised and shunned by others? He also wanted to make himself look like a normal native of the Upper Star Ruin!

They arrived before the middlekin star and Tianming used a maniverse-class artifact to pierce it, allowing him and his companions to channel the middlekin star’s power into their bodies.

”Indeed, this pure energy feels like it’s freshly born from the universe itself. Though it’s compressed to the extreme, it remains peaceful and pure, perfectly converting into cosmoforce!”

Even Ji Ji could replace all of its genesis ancestral nova source. All of Tianming’s lifebound beasts except Yin Chen had their power replaced.

”We also need to fill the Sun with enough middlekin stars! Otherwise, every time we return, we’ll get ’stinky’ again.” It was an urgent matter!

There were no infinitum-class worlds in Upper Star Ruin! The starting level there was fortuna-class!

After the power replacement, Tianming felt refreshed. ”From now on, I finally don’t have to be looked down upon anymore!” he laughed.

He didn’t care much, but Qingyu and Moran were both beauties. If everyone avoided them like the plague whenever they saw them, Tianming might not be able to stop himself from killing everyone he met.

”Uh... Big Brother!” Long Chen suddenly hesitated.

”What’s wrong?” Tianming asked.

”Even if you’ve changed your power, you’ll still be looked down upon.... Of course, our race won’t despise you. It’s mainly the others,” Long Chen honestly said.

”Why?” Tianming was stunned.

”Your situation is very unique,” Long Chen said.

”Explain in detail!”

”Alright! Then I’ll just be blunt.” Long Chen awkwardly looked at him. ”I see that you practice both beastmaster and totem cultivation, but the key issue is that, while you have many lifebound beasts, none of them are cosmic crest beasts. That’s the standard in the Lower Star Ruins, but here, a single ten-crest beast can surpass a dozen lifebound beasts from any Lower Star Ruin. Also, your totem’s simulacra level doesn’t seem very high either.”

Tianming was wordless.

”To be honest, we’re already at the bottom of the hierarchy. But you... you might be even lower than us. You’ve ticked every single point on the contempt list of the Upper Star Ruin! Fortunately, you changed your power to something pure. Otherwise the people from the Three Great Cults would run away the moment they saw you,” Long Chen said.ℯℯ𝑙.

”Did I just waste my biggest weapon?”

”Not really. They might just attack you from a distance,” Long Chen said.

”Damn!” Tianming was fed up.

”It’s all your fault. Every time, you guys make me get looked down upon!” Tianming complained to his lifebound beasts. He didn’t want to pretend to be weak, but reality didn’t allow him to avoid it!

”If someone gave you a 99-crest cosmic crest beast, would you trade for it?” Ying Huo scoffed.

”Of course not!” Even if such an absurdly strong cosmic crest beast existed, Tianming wouldn’t replace his own. They were Primordial Chaos Beasts! They just didn’t look powerful... for now.

But one should never underestimate a little chick and the chicken it could grow up into!

”If anyone dares to question my avatar, I’ll make them stop breathing, leaving them speechless forever!” Bai Ye coldly said.

The Ninedragon Imperial Tomb continued its journey as Long Chen continued sharing information that shocked Tianming.

”Your Dragonsburrow’s dragonoids mainly consist of overflowers?” Tianming asked.

”Yes. There’s no way to escape the control of the Three Great Cults without being an overflower,” Long Chen said through gritted teeth.

”And there are still over five million dragonoids under the Three Great Cults’ control, right?” Tianming asked.

”Yes!”

Tianming and Moran exchanged a glance.

”It’s similar to God Domain One...” Moran sighed. Back then, the aurumites had also shouted that the specters would never be slaves, yet they were still in hiding.

”The difference is that the dragonoids have over ten thousand overflowers! They may have fewer ordinary dragonoids, but they should be more elite than the specters of God Domain One since they reached their level through proper cultivation....” Tianming’s eyes burned with excitement. That was over ten thousand overflower cultivators!

”Their so-called ’low talent’ is only in comparison to other races of the Upper Star Ruin. Compared to the Lower Star Ruins, they’re still very powerful. They’re probably on par with the Three Exalted Houses. The reason they have so many overflowers is that they’re in the Upper Star Ruin, where the quality of energy is indeed superior!”

They wanted to go to a Lower Star Ruin, but there was no way to get there! They couldn’t even escape.

”Moreover, their talents are still being suppressed by the heavenly shackles.” They were the flameyellow divinities! Their situation was similar to the specters of God Domain One, but fundamentally, they were completely different.

”When we arrive, let’s not leave the ship,” Tianming said to Moran. That way, they could use the power of her wonders to handle any unexpected situations. Tianming trusted Long Chen, but he had never met the other ten thousand overflowers. He didn’t know what kind of people they were, or what their power structure was like. He could only learn from Long Chen for now.

Soon, he had a rough idea.

”We can go.” He made his decision. The dragonoids weren’t like the aurumites. Tianming believed they were smart and wouldn’t disappoint him.

”We’re almost there.” Before long, they reached the edge of the Middlekin Star Ruin. This area was filled with countless star fragments, some of which were larger than an ether-class world. They were entirely composed of stone, metal, and minerals, making it easy to hide there.

The Dragonsburrow was inside one of those tens of thousands of fragments.

”With such a hidden location, as long as they don’t expose themselves, the Three Great Cults shouldn’t be able to find them.” A Middlekin Star Ruin was vast and finding them would be like searching for a needle in a haystack.

”Do you have a transmission stone on you?” Tianming asked.

”No. The Three Great Cults don’t allow us to communicate,” Long Chen said.

So they were dirt poor; having even a bit of cultivation resources was already a blessing.

Tianming piloted the mechanical dragon, weaving through the debris. The energy was extremely sparse, almost like the void of space, making it difficult to stay there for long. He grew to better understand the difficulty of calling the place ”home”.

”Even though we’ve escaped, there are still five million of us living in darkness.... And the Three Great Cults are hunting us.” Long Chen’s eyes were full of sorrow.

”Hunting you?” Tianming’s gaze suddenly turned cold. ”Is the Dragonsburrow just ahead?” he asked.

”Yes!” Long Chen was shocked.

They had all heard noise from the front.

”Your Dragonsburrow’s been exposed!” Tianming said. He could already see a massive fleet of astralships ahead.

”What’s the plan?” Long Chen’s eyes burned with fury, his fists tightly clenched.

”Don’t worry, just watch me!” Tianming suddenly accelerated the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb and merged his mind with it. It was like he was a nine-headed dragon, controlling its heads, tail, fangs, and claws!

The nine-headed dragon charged through the starry sky toward where over ten thousand Overflower cultivators were gathered!
