Beastmaster of the Ages

Once he had ordered energy, his level began to soar above the second level. Middlekin astrons within his body began to split and grow in number and size, greatly increasing his capacity! His nine-hundred-meter-plus body finally started to expand. ”One level, two, three!”

It was a historic breakthrough. By the time his orders were no longer able to control the energy he was taking in, he realized that he had broken through six times! It was all thanks to the dazzling radiance!

”Amazing. I’ve been relying on omnisentient threads for quite a while and put my cultivation on the back burner. After all that stalling, I managed to break through six levels in a row.” Tianming’s growth had been step by step for quite some time, having much fewer drastic breakthroughs unlike Feiling, Moran or Zi Zhen. ”Thankfully, there aren’t any men that break through like those three crazy girls, or I’d have real competition.”

He was quite curious how much his body had grown after breaking through six levels. Normal eight-level cosmic gods were around eight hundred meters in size, but Tianming had long grown beyond that. There was no way a normal cosmic god of his level had the same level-transcending energy capacity. Once his body expanded to its peak, the growth stopped.

”I should be around four thousand meters now, right?” He looked down at his glowing astral-giant body. Though he couldn’t compare to the cosmic gods who were tens of thousands of meters in height, his size did quadruple from before, adding quite a lot to his mass. Still, he wasn’t quite sure why four thousand meters was his current height.

”An eighth-level cosmic god that’s four kilometers...” Mu Qingqing began to think after hearing his doubts. Her thousand-meter form seemed much smaller compared to him now. ”In the Realm of Chaos, the first phase of cosmic godhood is called the microcosmic phase, with body sizes ranging from a hundred to a thousand meters. Size growth stops at a thousand meters at the tenth level, with the eleventh and twelfth levels focusing on saturation instead. The second stage of cosmic godhood is called the Heavencosmic stage, which sees a heavencosmic god growing to ten thousand meters in height at the tenth level.”

Mu Qingqing looked at him and continued, ”You’re clearly only an eighth-level microcosmic god, yet you have the body of a fourth-level heavencosmic god. Does that mean you can fight eight levels above your own?”

”It should be about the same in the Realm of Chaos,” Tianming said.

”Then that should be correct. The mass of a cosmic god’s body and its energy capacity are related. You’re only an eighth-level microcosmic god, but your combat capability should be closer to a fourth-level heavencosmic god. That means that the upper limit of your capabilities is far above other people’s...” Mu Qingqing said with some awe.

”It doesn’t matter. People will treat me as a fourth-level heavencosmic god anyway.”

”It’s true that these two stages of cosmic godhood aren’t that different. Once the cosmic body truly reaches above ten thousand meters, you’ll reach the third stage of cosmic godhood and undergo a fundamental transformation. I wonder if that will come when your body size reaches that height or when your level actually reaches the summit of the Heavencosmic stage...”

”It’s still quite far off, so I don’t want to think about it.” Tianming stretched his body, causing it to snap audibly. ”Even though I’m not as powerful as I am with my omnisentient threads, this power is fully mine! I can count on it at all times!” This alone showed that coming to the Realm of Chaos had been the right idea.

”Come, let’s go back to the Inverse Battlefield.” Tianming could no longer wait. As he had a much easier time finding dazzling radiance compared to other people, he would really benefit from being there. After his breakthrough, the way he looked at this solemn girl got better and better.

”Alright, then.” Mu Qingqing nodded and returned to Nullity with Tianming. Right before they set out for another trip to the Inverse Battlefield, she blushed and said, ”Wait for me for a moment.”

”What is it?” Tianming asked impatiently.

”Just wait a bit, okay?” she begged.

”I’m in a rush. Don’t hold me back from my rise,” Tianming said.

”Okay.” Her body floated towards Nullity and glowed with dim, black light. All of a sudden, her body unraveled into a black vortex.

”Why did you turn into a hole?” Tianming asked, almost speechless.

”Wait.”

Tianming watched as black starlight flew from Nullity into the vortex, expanding it from a thousand to four thousand meters. Then, the vortex reformed into her black-dressed form, this time being almost exactly as tall as Tianming, complete with sensual curves and bashful face.

”What’s going on?” Tianming asked, eyes wide open.

Mu Qingqing looked down shyly. ”I was worried that you might need me to perform my wifely duties to relieve you down the line... So I took more mass from my main body in preparation for that...”

”That wasn’t what I was asking... I wanted to know how you did it. Can you grow and shrink as you please?” This was something Tianming dearly wanted to be able to do since becoming a cosmic god.

Mu Qingqing snapped out of it and said, ”This is an innate talent of the Mu Clan called the splitverse sigil. We are able to split off a clone body from our main body that’s at most half the size of the main body.”

”Am I able to learn that?”

”Umm...” She nodded. ”I can channel the splitverse sigil partly into your body so that you can make a clone body too, but since you’re not one of us, the clone can’t last that long.”

”How long?”

”A month each time?”

”Perfect. Do it then!” It was sounding more and more convenient.

”Over here?!” She shuddered before looking down even more.

”Right here. Come on.”

Blushing, she said, ”Husband, I can only split off part of the splitverse sigil and lend it to you by... doing something that should be done behind closed doors.”

It was a dead end! In other words, Tianming had to ’charge up’ with her every time he wanted to use the splitverse sigil for something. ”Forget it! I’ll keep cultivating!”

Tianming turned towards the Inverse Battlefield and sped off.
