Beastmaster of the Ages

The Huang Qi in Tianming’s imagination was completely different from that in reality. Perhaps she had gained some insights into his secrets thanks to his rapid growth in such a short time. That was another reason he couldn’t easily bring himself to trust her. She had definitely made the observation that gaining Tianming’s trust in a short time would be difficult as well, especially with how she had attempted to interfere in his search for an order from the Sea of Order back then. Most importantly, she dreamed of obtaining the Order Relic for herself.

Let’s keep dragging things out. Maybe I’ll be able to learn a lot of useful information from her, he thought. As for when he would release her, he would never consider it until he was absolutely sure of his capabilities. He trusted her less than he did Sixth’s vita. Beings like her could tempt him at one moment and take everything he had in the next. I guess I have to leave Sixth’s vita alone for now.

There was no point in agonizing over something he had no control over. Instead, he kept chatting with Huang Qi and figured out the way to go to God Domain Nine from the Sea of Order. It wasn’t hard at all; the fact that order and overflow fragments could enter God Domain Nine showed that the wall separating it and the Sea of Order wasn’t that thick. One could easily breach it and pass through.

The only reason the undying aeternals were unable to make it through was the loss of the Order Relic. That was how the nine port-like minor worlds had become a haven for the pet gourd spirits. The orderlies would never intentionally go through the Sea of Order, either, since that was a death wish.

Tianming only needed Huang Qi to point the way for him to return to God Domain Nine. Earlier, Sixth’s vita had already tricked Tianming into going somewhere quite far away from there.

”It’s over there.” Soon, Tianming saw a purple ball of light amidst the storms of the Sea of Order. There were countless brightly glowing eyes of heaven, like tiny islands in the sea.

”How big is the Sea of Aeternity?” If it weren’t for his distrust of Huang Qi and the might of the undying aeternals, Tianming would love to see a place that was filled with order and overflow fragments. Instead, he gave up on the notion and went to the barrier of God Domain Nine, following the trail of overflow fragments that slipped through. The moment he entered, he felt the difference between xenopower and the energy of the Sea of Order’s storms.

”Little Fish, Zi Zhen....” The moment he entered, he immediately headed toward the Order College. Neither the wonderians nor the orderlies dared to enter the Sea of Order. As such, as long as the two pathways guarded by Moran and Zi Zhen were sealed, none of them would be able to leave! Tianming was like a bolt of human lightning, zipping through countless gourd spirits toward the Order College. The spectators outside were of no threat to him at all.

”Wait a second!” Bai Ye and Bai Ling said, popping out of his head right before he entered.

”What?” Tianming asked.

”The fact that the vita sided with the undying aeternals means it’s abandoned these gourd spirits. The two of us can take them over instead!” Bai Ye excitedly said.

”Once that’s done, this territory will be ours! He won’t be able to take it back,” Bai Ling said.

Sixth’s vita might not be that strong anymore after losing the gourd spirits. It might even be weaker than Bai Ye. Symbiotic cultivation had completely changed them.

”Even though the vita said a lot, there’s something I still don’t understand. Symbiotic cultivation doesn’t start the moment we decide to cultivate together. Instead, it was already decided back when it was turned into the egg of a Primordial Chaos Beast....” At the very least, Tianming could be certain that, no matter what kind of trouble Sixth’s vita caused, it would never be complete, regardless of how much support it got from the undying aeternals. Bai Ye and Bai Ling were much more complete in comparison.

He left the two soul beasts where they were, then entered the Order College himself.

”Race you?” Bai Ling said to Bai Ye.

”Yeah sure! I’m not scared! The Ultimate Invincible God of Old won’t lose to someone like you,” Bai Ye said.

”All you can do is shout slogans.”

There weren’t that many orderlies in God Domain One, and those in God Domains Two, Three, and Four had been completely wiped out by Bai Ling. That meant the orderlies in the five remaining god domains who were gathered there were the only ones that remained in the entire Ancient Oldgod Domain, and they had been abandoned by the vita.

The terra and caelum’s soul power swept the hundreds of millions of god spirits like tidal waves, soul seeds immediately infesting their spiritforms. Bai Ye was more efficient, while Bai Ling was more forceful. It was quite an even race.

Right after Tianming entered the Order College, he noticed that the sounds of battle had ended. On one side, he saw around nine hundred cosmic god essences belonging to wonderians, while the other was littered with those of orderlies. They had turned from gourds into little balls, ones that had been completely blown up. ”That seems harsh....”

Tianming looked ahead and saw Moran, shrouded by many divine wonders and looking like an absolute goddess. The fiendish Zi Zhen was also there with seven of her ninehall eyes open, red from head to toe. The only sounds he heard were the agonized cries of the remaining orderlies.

Those two managed to forcefully take down thousands of cosmic gods.... Tianming was quite stunned by the savagery on display. Zi Zhen was one thing, being the reincarnation of some old entity, yet Moran was someone from a heliacal-class world. Her transformation into what she had become truly shook Tianming.

They also saw that he had returned safe and sound and breathed a sigh of relief. Moran seemed rather stable, while Zi Zhen simmered down, closing four of her seven ninehall eyes and getting much weaker. Fortunately, her foes had already been terrified beyond recognition. The administrator of the Order College didn’t dare to fight and was hiding in the corner, waiting for a chance to beg for mercy.

”Kill all the wonderians first,” Tianming said after looking around.

”Okay!” Zi Zhen had prevented anyone from escaping, guarding the formation.

Tianming then headed toward Moran.

”Did you notice something?” she asked.

”What should I be noticing?”

”They’re afraid of me. Some of them even attacked the others and offered their bodies to me,” Moran said with an odd look.

”Is that so?” Tianming had been wondering how Moran was practically unscathed, despite facing off against stronger foes than Zi Zhen. To think that the wonderians would fight among themselves....

”Tian Jiu! We offer our bodies to Tian Jiu!” some cosmic god essences said with fanaticism in their voices.

”She definitely isn’t Tian Jiu!” two large essences angrily roared from afar. ”The real Tian Jiu wouldn’t attack us for some outsider! How could our great primogenitor be someone that would do anything to serve that youth?!”

Even in their essence forms, the wonderians argued among themselves.

”I’ll kill the rest of them for you to consume,” Tianming said.
