Beastmaster of the Ages

“Already done!” Yin Chen snorted. “I’ll expand... it further.”

Tianming didn’t know what exactly the other side was about to do, but at least he had already used every method he could. Inside the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb, his gaze burned as he stared into the distance at the radiant, colorful star ahead.

“This is the first step to conquering the Upper Star Ruin! Let it go smoothly....” It would be a major regret if he were to die before even getting started.

***

Ten days later, Yin Chen reported that a maniverse-class astralship in the shape of a white sphere had emerged from a wormhole and appeared near Starmoon Haven. Unfortunately, it had appeared on the opposite side of the planet.

At the same time, Yin Chen informed Tianming that two cosmic gods had shot out from Starmoon Haven and headed in the direction of the arriving astralship. Both Fentian He and the newcomer deva, Hei Xuan, were young cosmic gods who didn’t have their own mound cities to protect.

“There must be something important in that astralship!” Tianming immediately reacted, pushing the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb to its maximum speed and rapidly flying around the planet.

“Other than Fentian He and Hei Xuan, no other cosmic gods came out?” Tianming coldly asked.

“That’s it.”

“Tell Brother Long Xing to prepare. If anyone else dares to come out, we’ll attack their home base.” In Starmoon Haven, Long Xing and his people halted all operations, hiding deep underground while waiting for updates from Tianming.

“Of course!” Yin Chen scolded him for stating the obvious.

Tianming’s ship continued accelerating as he urgently asked, “Yin Chen, calculate for me. Can I catch up to it before it enters the Starmoon Guard Formation?”

Even though Yin Chen had a wide range and quickly detected things, having the ship show up on the opposite side of the star was just pure bad luck.

“Maybe possible!” With that, Tianming didn’t hesitate any longer and pushed the tomb to its absolute limit, charging forward at full speed.

“You plan to strike? That’ll expose your power,” said a radiant phoenix with a wingspan of dozens of meters that was perched on top of his head. Although it was flashy, its lounging posture was still unsightly, and its rooster voice completely ruined the mood.

“If I can take down that astralship, it’ll be worth it!” Tianming asked Yin Chen, “Is there a cosmic god inside that ship?”

“I can’t... get close!” Yin Chen replied, frustrated.

That likely meant there was cosmic sense inside the enemy astralship, which meant there was at least one cosmic god. Including Fentian He and Hei Xuan, there were at least three. Tianming had 1.5 billion people with him, so he had to worry.

“There’s one wonderian!” Bai Ye said.

“How do you know?” Even Yin Chen was blocked by cosmic sense.

“I can feel two ninth dao souls connected to each other. If that isn’t a wonderian, what else could it be? Or you could say there are two of them,” Bai Ye explained.

“What do you think? Can we handle it?” Xian Xian nervously asked.

Tianming looked at the 1.5 billion people behind him and said, “Once we’re close, we’ll charge out directly. Keep the tomb away from them!”

Including the grand scorchpath suanni, that made five opponents. If Tianming were restrained and they sent someone to attack the tomb, it’d be big trouble.

“That’s pretty risky...” Ying Huo said, now serious.

“We have to take the gamble! I have a feeling they were waiting for something crucial, and it’s inside that ship....” Tianming grit his teeth. “Dammit! I’ve got ten billion omnisentient threads now. It’s time for the big bet!”

Tianming was a first-level overflower with 5 billion omnisentient threads before. But now he was a second-level overflower with 10 billion of them!

“Ji Ji, ready a middlekin star in case we need to run away!” After saying that, Tianming let Ying Huo and the others enter his body. Bai Ye’s infant souls also crossed the Starmoon Guard Formation and returned to Tianming’s side.

There were seven of them in total. In the last battle against Fentian He, he’d only had three of them at the start. Now, with the breakthrough in level and the doubled omnisentient threads... Bai Ye was undoubtedly far stronger than before.

The distance from the three cosmic gods continued shrinking

“Get off!!” Yin Chen instructed when Tianming was close enough to the enemy astralship.

For the moment, the three cosmic gods hadn’t joined up!

“Go!” With a thunderous boom, Tianming’s 40-meter-tall body launched from a dragon’s head, while the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb changed course to exit the battlefield. The ten billion omnisentient threads formed a small-scale Galactic Emperor network, so the tomb didn’t need to be too close.

Tianming burst out, activating his Fiveway Blitzrun technique to race forward. He wasn’t any slower than cosmic gods traversing space! He soon laid eyes on the spherical astralship.

The pale white sphere was plummeting, about to fall into the Starmoon Guard Formation. Even with a 40-meter-tall body, Tianming still looked like a speck compared to the astralship. Yet he didn’t hesitate to position himself below the ship.

He swung his leg, the Triflair Primordial World expanding to a hundred meters. The three worlds detonated as his leg met the sphere.

The astralship violently trembled as the point of contact caved inward and broke apart.

“He shoots, he scores!” Ying Huo cackled, back to its usual careless self.

The current Tianming had successfully suppressed a maniverse-class astralship by brute force, a feat on par with cosmic gods.

“What the hell?!” Inside the ship, the wonderian cosmic gods were stunned. They tried stabilizing the ship to take a closer look, only to find a young, white-haired man of around forty meters tall suddenly appearing and slashing his sword into their ship.

Though the Grand-Orient Sword was still maniverse-class, its edge and hardness were more than enough. The massive black-and-gold blade, now dozens of meters long, carved open a giant breach through which Tianming charged!
