Beastmaster of the Ages

From that moment on, Long Xing would no longer be inferior to others! His growth and transformation rivaled Wudi, who had fused more cosmic god blood, and the main reason for that was his better foundation. If it weren’t for the heavenly shackles, he would have at least a 20-crest beast. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to become a cosmic god.

”Most importantly—” Narrowing his gaze, Long Xing sensed the changes in his body. ”My order grew!”

Tianming asked, ”What do you mean?”

”I’m now a second-level cosmic god!” Long Xing smiled.

”Oh?” Tianming was excited by the news. ”Keep going then. We won’t disturb you.”

”Alright!”

Communication between men was that simple.

Tianming retreated a certain distance, watching them with Wudi. Long Xing’s body continued to grow as he was enveloped in a nova source storm once more. Making a breakthrough would be easy for him.

”Years of restraints broken in an instant!” Tianming understood Long Xing’s momentum. ”From this moment on, nothing can stop him!”

”He’s a real hero!” Wudi exclaimed.

”What now?”

Wudi snickered, ”Not even the Midsky Tristars could’ve anticipated his breakthrough! So we can act now and catch them off guard!”

”You’re right!” Tianming said, lowering his head as a plan quickly formed in his mind.

***

Long Xing’s breakthrough was swift and smooth. It wasn’t long until a 200-meter-tall astral giant and a drastically transformed violet titanic dragon emerged from the fusion formation with Tianming and Wudi. By then, all 1.5 billion flameyellow descendants had disembarked the tomb.

During that time, Tianming had moved the Sun toward the Midsky Tristars, to a position close enough to connect to all of his omnisentient threads. And with that, the grand battlefield was ready.

”No more endangering the lives of my people....” This time, Tianming would only take Long Xing and Moran with him. But before setting out, he wanted to know one thing: what changes would occur to the Flameyellow Bloodsoul after merging with several drops of cosmic god blood?

”Little Chen, come here!” Tianming called out to Long Chen. Already a first-level overflower, the boy stood ten meters tall, his face unwavering.

”Your Majesty, please command me as you wish!” The passionate young boy was filled with excitement at suddenly being called upon, his gaze fiery.

The Flameyellow Coffin descended, and when the lid opened, the Flameyellow Bloodsoul violently surged as an overwhelming wave of energy swept over the entire place.

”Jump in and take a bath!” Tianming said with a smile.

”Huh?” Long Chen was disappointed. He hadn’t expected the task to be so simple.

”Try to break your heavenly shackles!” Tianming said.

With Long Xing leading the way, it didn’t seem like the Heavenly Dao was all that.

Tianming had chosen Long Chen because every heavenly shackle varied in size. Given his cultivation level, Long Chen’s heavenly shackles were relatively small. If he could succeed, then Long Qian and other flameyellow descendants below the Cosmic God stage would have a chance.

”Heavenly shackles!” Long Chen’s eyes lit up. He heard that his number two idol, Long Xing, had succeeded!

”Your Majesty, I’d rather die than let you down!” With that, Long Chen yanked off his robes and slammed into the Flameyellow Bloodsoul, roaring, ”Heavenly Dao, I’ll fight you to the end!”

Those watching were struck dumb. It was great to be young! But soon, nervousness filled the scene.

At first, Long Chen didn’t seem to be making any movements inside the coffin, so the others waited, sighing to themselves. Seeing that it was about time, Tianming decided to leave with Long Xing. After all, he could still launch a surprise attack while his enemies remained inactive.

But just as he was about to start up the tomb, a loud clamor erupted from within the coffin.

A young man climbed out with a black nine-headed dragon and shouted with excitement, ”Your Majesty, I haven’t failed you!” He turned around. Everyone shifted their gaze, eyes widening as soon as they caught sight of his scarred back.

His heavenly shackles were gone!

In an instant, many flameyellow descendants burst into tears and cheering. Their excitement and joy were ultimately expressed in one word.

”Emperor! Emperor!” They were mad with emotion.

”That’s enough cheering! Line up and jump in, one by one!” Tianming laughed.

”Wash away the dust and be reborn, welcome a new era!” said Wudi.

”Yes!” Over a billion people shouted in unison, their voices shaking the heavens.

Tianming glanced at Long Chen. ”A 20-crest beast and 20-fold simulacrum! That’s remarkable! You have all the makings of a cosmic god and it’s only the beginning....” He could already see the future: endless streams of genius flameyellow descendants! Wudi was right; it was a new era.

As the emperor, I have an even greater responsibility. I must seize more resources! With that in mind, Tianming wasted no more time. He entered the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb with Long Xing and Moran and began operating the damaged astralship. Bursting through the flaming clouds, they rushed toward Starmoon Haven.
