Beastmaster of the Ages

Tianming was suddenly standing in an endless void, that familiar sensation returning once more.

Back when he had entered Ying Huo’s dream, he had still been a mere mortal and had felt incomparably small. But now, as a tens-of-thousands-meter-tall cosmic god, he finally wasn’t so insignificant in this boundless cosmos.

“So Sixth had a dream too. But it just needed all three of them to come together.”

By now, Tianming had even seen Xi Xi’s dream, and he had also allowed the last two Primordial Chaos Beast eggs to enter his eyes... Sixth’s dream felt like a section belonging to an earlier sequence, and seemed to have no real meaning.

He remembered that the Celestial Sourcepath Progenitor had appeared in Yin Chen’s dream. The two of them had even fought.

“It’s there...” Tianming snapped his head around, finding a vast white sea of clouds at the end of the starry void, swirling and expanding without end. Even as large as he was, Tianming still felt like a speck of dust before this white cloud sea.

How large must the true Celestial Sourcepath Progenitor be?

Where was their upper limit? Were they on the level of Realm of Order’s imperatores, or the Aeternal Beings?

“You—” Just as Tianming looked at it, the white cloud sea actually seemed to see him too, unquestionably transcending time and space.

“No, no, NO!” The white cloud sea suddenly displayed absolute terror. Its body shrank, condensing into a white sphere that quickly fled!

“Where are you going?” Tianming was full of questions. He didn’t move, yet his perspective chased after it across a distance as vast several star ruins.

The chase ended when the white sphere crashed into a region of space filled with sticky and viscous energy.

“The Ancestral World?” Tianming gasped. This was just like the sensation in the Ancient Flameyellow Ruins.

Before he could react, something familiar suddenly appeared ahead!

For the first time, Tianming saw something that existed in both reality and dream.

“The Fiend Ruins!” he said with a trembling voice. The shrunk Celestial Sourcepath Progenitor crashed straight into the Fiend Ruins, and a blood-red lightning gate appeared!

“This is the gate Lin Xiaoxiao went through!” He was shocked yet again.

Before he could finish being shocked, the white sphere exited the gate, dragging Tianming’s perspective outside as well. The passage was a vast tunnel of blood-red flesh, its walls covered in thick, pulsing blood vessels, making him feel as though he were inside some creature’s mouth.

An unbearably dazzling light!

Tianming’s vision followed the white sphere, bursting out of the tunnel, flying endlessly toward the starry expanse in front.

Tianming felt as if he had arrived in another world entirely.

“Introspection begets primordial chaos!”

A massive sound drew Tianming’s attention, making him turn around. He saw that the place he had just exited was a boundless blood-red cavity, its immensity beyond words. Only as he drew farther and farther away could he take it in completely and realise it was actually a ginormous mouth.

The blood-lightning gate of the Fiend Ruins was actually a mouth?

The speed of his viewpoint had surpassed comprehension. The surroundings had long blurred into pure light as he fled from that blood-lightning gate at unimaginable velocity. And beyond the mouth, he made out a full face that even included eyes and a nose!

Farther still, the view began to blur again. There was a vague outline of a universe-sized titan sitting cross-legged. Its body was made of countless star ruins pieced together. Only the head remained whole, while the rest had faded, been shattered, or dissipated into chaotic disorder.

At that moment, Tianming’s scalp tingled.

“That cosmic giant... is the universe itself?” Humans, beasts, the flameyellow divinities, Chaos denizens, the undying aeternals... were all of them parasites living on its body?

Before he could recover from that shock, infinite radiance filled the universe. Tianming turned back toward the front, finding two unfathomably massive spheres as its source. Tianming felt as if they were even countless times larger than the cosmic giant behind him.

One sphere was gold. The other, black.

They each contained a golden bird and a black terrestrial beast.

They stood like the central pillars of this immeasurable universe, their brilliance illuminating endless domains.

By this time, the Celestial Sourcepath Progenitor had vanished, perhaps hiding behind the two gigantic spheres.

Tianming’s perspective finally came to a halt.

The two massive eyes as well as the creatures within them seemed to lock onto him!

“We shall hatch in Introspection... we await you.” Two familiar voices thundered by his ears.

Tianming trembled all over. His vision flashed, returning to Bai Ye, Bai Ling, and Bai Feng wrestling together in front of him.

“Uh...” While he was still overwhelmed, they suddenly froze.

There were faint cracking sounds.

“My eyes... hurt a little...” He thought the light had been too bright and stung his eyes. He viewed them using the Plundering Eyes.

“Damn!” He discovered that his pupils were covered in cracks, just like every egg would before its resident beast hatched...
