Beastmaster of the Ages

At this moment, Tianming’s pair of eyes truly resembled two spherical eggs.

The new cracks added fragmentation to his eyes, making them appear even more mysterious and even faintly terrifying.

Tianming could already sense the two lifeforms seeing the world through his eyes. Even though they did not speak, the feeling of symbiosis already existed.

They wanted to come out as well!

After Xi Xi, these were the final two Primordial Chaos Beasts.

Normally speaking, the Primordial Chaos Beasts became increasingly strange with each successive birth. The seventh was a nova source, the eighth was a hellish world. By pattern, the ninth and tenth should have been even more bizarre.

Yet now, they looked just like Ying Huo and Meow Meow, the most ordinary flying bird and terrestrial beast.

Tianming felt no sense of “disappointment” over this, because he understood that all things ultimately return to simplicity. Sometimes, what appeared most ordinary was in fact the most complex and the most fundamental.

“Introspection...” What kind of place was it?

“Bai Feng, did you see that dreamscape?” Tianming asked urgently.

“I saw it.” Its voice was still hoarse, likely the result of its verbal clash with Bai Ling and Bai Ye. Its foundation was still shallow, and insisting on fighting two at once meant it could not gain any real advantage.

“The Realm of Order and Chaos are actually a human universe. This confirms your theory that the endpoint of cosmic gods and minor universes is to become a universe itself, just as the future of a middlekin astron is to become a nova source,” Tianming said seriously. He had had his suspicions, but witnessing such a shocking scene still made his mind buzz uncontrollably.

That the universe was a human body sounded simple enough, but witnessing the actual scale was enough to shatter anyone’s eyes.

A simple comparison would be that a hundred-thousand-meter imperator could move freely within an imperial-class nova source. But that imperial-class nova source was merely a single middlekin astron of that being.

Even more terrifying was the fact that the entire Upper Star Ruin, together with the Sea of Order and Sea of Aeternity, amounted to no more than that figure’s head. Meanwhile, the region of the Realm of Chaos corresponding to the Upper Star Ruin, was like a shadow cast by that head...

Tianming knew that such a scale could no longer be measured in meters or kilometers.

And then there were also all the “shattered” and “illusory” lower star ruins to add in.

“That’s right. The end of cultivation is to transform one’s body into the universe itself, and you truly are nothing more than an infinitesimal microorganism within it. Even at a hundred thousand meters, you are still an invisible microbe. And we, the Primordial Chaos Beasts, exist to kill you viruses and heal the universe...” Bai Feng continued to mutter its old beliefs.

“Is that so?” Tianming looked at it deeply. “Then let me ask you something. Did you see those two spheres, one golden and one black? In the dream, you hid behind them.”

“I saw them... They are the final two Primordial Chaos Beasts.” Bai Feng suddenly began to tremble all over.

“Then why were they so much larger than that human universe? If Primordial Chaos Beasts are supposed to devour bacteria and viruses within the universe, how could you be larger than the universe itself?” Tianming pressed, his voice burning with intensity.

“Huh?” Bai Feng was struck as if by lightning. It condensed the face of a small boy, utterly confused, its worldview taking a direct hit.

“Is it that these final two eggs are special? That doesn’t make sense either. You are collectively the ten Primordial Chaos Beasts. It’s impossible for some to be mere specks of dust while others are colossal entities.” Tianming fixed his blazing gaze on Bai Feng and said, “So there are only two possibilities. First, the dream was fake. Second, everything preserved in your obsession and memories is fake, or even been tampered with.”

“...Alright.” For the moment, Bai Feng did not know what else to say.

Tianming still had other urgent matters on his mind, so he continued, “This isn’t something we need to resolve right now. Let’s treat it as a secret. You, me, and all our siblings, will all escape this human universe together in the future and go to that Introspection place to see the truth clearly. Perhaps the true secrets of our sky plunderers are there as well, including the origins of the Number Monsters.”

“Fine!” Bai Feng’s personality was decisive. It gritted its teeth and accepted Tianming’s explanation, no longer dwelling on it.

Had it not seen this dream, there might still have been a knot in its heart, a lingering refusal to accept Tianming. But now, that was unlikely.

“Can you help me take down Huang Qi?” Tianming asked this because Bai Ye and Bai Ling had said that once the tripartite souls merged, there would be a way.

Bai Feng glanced over in that direction and said, “In terms of combat strength, the demoness at your side is already suppressing her. With her assistance, the three of us can subdue Huang Qi on the soul level. She has just been released from her seal, and her soul is not yet strong. We can seal her again and place the Sourcepath Shackles on her soul!”

“What happens if it’s applied?” Tianming’s eyes lit up.

“If it succeeds, you can make her pose however you want!” Bai Ye curled its lips.

“The problem is that it won’t be easy to succeed. We’ll have to gamble,” Bai Ling chuckled, not optimistic at all.

“Then what are we waiting for? Move!”

From Bai Ye’s words, Tianming could hear their confidence. They had always been able to parasitize and control others through their infant souls. Although Huang Qi was monstrously powerful and on an entirely different level, the fact remained that she had just been unsealed, and was currently being suppressed by Zi Zhen!

However, Tianming also knew that Zi Zhen was suppressing her at the cost of overexertion. There were already signs that she couldn’t hold on much longer.

“Do it!” Tianming gripped the Grand-Orient Sword and forced a path open with the skypole stars towards the battlefield of the two terrifying entities. The area was a river of blood littered with shattered corpses. The undying aeternals had no cosmic-god essences, so dismembered bodies lay scattered everywhere.

At the very center, those two “monsters” were still grappling with each other!

Huang Qi didn’t want close combat, but she had no choice. The two were completely stuck together, and Huang Qi’s entire body was pierced through and entangled by Zi Zhen’s demonic hair.

Zi Zhen carried the advantage in such a melee. The spikes, claws, blades, massive arms, and enormous tail covering her body had already riddled Huang Qi with gaping wounds, nearly disemboweling her. Even that bee-like head had chunks torn off, hanging limply from her neck!
