Beastmaster of the Ages

It was a mass breakthrough! The transfer of the insights from the galaxy-class order by Tianming caused the orders of the flameyellow descendants to rapidly grow, leading to many breakthroughs and advancements.

”What in the world is that kid doing, glowing so bright?”

”No idea!”

The cultivation room in the Cosmic God Palace was too blinding to see, thanks to the galaxy-class order within. However, the five million people from the Three Great Cults weren’t too worried; they already had hostages and the trial was about to end soon. Long Qian and her dragonoids had already lowered their heads. There were also a hundred thousand overflowers on their side, suppressing the slaves to the point that they could barely breathe. There was nothing to worry about.

”Let’s just watch the show, everyone!”

”When that kid emerges and realizes Long Qian’s betrayal, I really wonder what expression he’ll have on his face.”

”How ignorant!”

The overflowers from the Three Great Cults coldly looked at the Cosmic God Palace, while within the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb, the dragonoids sat huddled together. Their hearts beat in unison at the sight of the galaxy before them. Above the galaxy was a white-haired youth that made even the stars tremble.

In the Mountain God, Dawnlight, and Extraordinary, the five million flameyellow descendants did the same. Their hearts burned bright, but they quietly waited. Even though their bodies were subdued by the divine astralship formations, their hearts couldn’t be shackled.

Time continued passing as Tianming, Luori Guiyang, and Xing Baizhan made their final cultivation push. The latter two wanted to reach the fifth level of the Overflow Stage, especially Luori Guiyang!

”Alright, here’s another grade-two overflow fragment!” Tianming added it on top of his imperial order’s transformation and the subdued galaxy-class order. All nine streams of his order had been empowered when the flameyellow descendants linked up with him, considerably stabilizing them. The streams of order set a stable foundation for him to go straight to the minor zenith, erecting the eleventh floor of his foundation fortress!

”I finally reached the minor zenith!” Before, he had helped Jiguang achieve it at Myriadpath Valley. He had finally caught up to her level of that time. But even without counting his omnisentient power, he was far more powerful than Jiguang had been then. ”How much time is left in the trial?”

”A month,” Ying Huo said.

Tianming rose and looked outside with a smile on his face. ”Even though there’s still time, they don’t deserve to live a month longer!” He stepped out of the cultivation room.

”Are you going to use omnisentient power to suppress them?” Ying Huo asked, chuckling. It wouldn’t even be a real fight with that in play.

”Of course!” Tianming said, looking down the dark corridor ahead. ”I have to use my biggest moves for all to see, and right when they least expect it!”

Qingyu had been cultivating in a different twelve-point room with the little time she had left. Thus, outside Tianming’s room, only Moran was waiting for him, leaning against the door. Tianming stepped out and the first thing she said was, ”You’ve changed again.”

”How have I changed?” he gently asked.

”You’re angry.” She pursed her lips. ”You’ve turned from a ruler to a... tyrant. The kind of tyrant that’s kind to your subjects but ferocious toward your enemies.” She could indeed sense the subtle changes in Tianming’s mind.

”Well said.” Tianming went forward and held her hand. ”Come, I’ll take you to kill some people!”

”There’s no rush. Why don’t you carry out your duty of siring an heir for your empire first?” Bai Ye said, popping out of Tianming’s head. ”If you break through twice more, you’ll become an overflower. If you don’t act now, you won’t fit inside her anymore!”

Tianming and Moran were speechless.

In a different corner of the Cosmic God Palace, Xing Baizhan, shrouded by gray mist, yelled outside a golden cultivation room. ”Time’s running out! Come out and chat, brother.”

”What’s to chat about?” Luori Guiyang gave up on cultivating, since there wasn’t any time left. He left his room, turning his blazing eyes toward Xing Baizhan.

”Let’s chat about women!” Xing Baizhan said.

”What do you mean?”

”What’s your body count? You humans are more conservative about such matters, unlike specters. We like to revel in our passions!”

Luori Guiyang gave him an odd look and calmly said, ”Not many. Probably a few thousand in all my life.”

”That isn’t a small number! I didn’t think you’d be quite the loverboy despite your serious appearance!”

”You think? What’s yours, then?” Luori Guiyang raised a brow. In terms of appearance, he was definitely much more appealing than a specter that looked like he was constantly at death’s door.

”Well, it’s nothing much in a place like a Middlekin Star Ruin. In the hundred thousands, give or take. I don’t refuse anyone, but I do prefer those of higher birth,” Xing Baizhan said.

Luori Guiyang cursed him in his mind. Beast!

”So what’s the demographics of those you’ve laid with?” Xing Baizhan asked.

”Starmoon Haven’s humans are made up of beastmasters and totemancers both. Most of them were young ladies from great families,” Luori Guiyang said. ”However, ever since I became an overflower, that number has greatly fallen. Those of high status that manage to become overflowers aren’t as easy to trick into bed.”

”Are there any specters?” Xing Baizhan asked.

Luori Guiyang gave him a look and nodded. ”There were.”

”Can’t blame ya. Life wouldn’t be worth living if hot specter girls didn’t exist! How about the slave race?”

Luori Guiyang shook his head in shock. ”Of course not! Heavenly shackles are no joke. Don’t tell me you’ve lain with slaves before!”

”Me neither, but I’ve recently found a precious one.” Xing Baizhan told him about the cicada silk suit’s abilities and described Long Qian’s beauty. Never would Xing Yue have dreamed that Luori Guiyang would be enjoying this kind of conversation with Xing Baizhan, the one who had violated and doomed her.

”Long Qian?” Luori Guiyang recalled seeing her once before entering the Cosmic God Palace. ”Isn’t she a level above you?”

”That’s right! I bet she’ll feel better than Jiang Linxi!” Xing Baizhan said.

”How’d you know about me and Jiang Linxi?!” Luori Guiyang asked, shocked.

”I know the kind of person she is better than you! There’s no way she’d leave you untouched.”

”Fine, forget all that. I really wonder how Jiang Linxi and the others will deal with Li Tianming and his ship when we leave. Are they really going to hand over a million slaves?”

”Relax! My dad and the rest won’t let others get the better of them.”

”Little Li, aren’t you ashamed?! Their body counts are a few thousand and a hundred thousand respectively! You’re a whole ass emperor, yet yours is only in the single digits!” Bai Ye said after eavesdropping on them.

”I beg you, shut up!” Tianming was going to lose it.

”Sigh... your sword truly is pitiful to have so few sheathes.”

”At least they’re very good quality ones, alright?!”

”Someone sounds desperate! Hahaha!”
