Beastmaster of the Ages

Even though the old man had made a huge threat, he felt a pressure that increased as he approached Tianming.

”I don’t know,” Tianming said, calmly shaking his head. While he wasn’t aware what kind of rank a suzerain was, he knew that divine wonderian couples shared their bodies and cultivation. As such, they often also shared a single title and status. For instance, these two were both the Wonderhaze Suzerain.

”It doesn’t matter if you don’t. All you need to know is that even Blood Abyss had to bow to us, and the Three Sovereigns Mysterium are of the same status as us,” said the crone.

”Wow, sounds impressive, gotta give you that.” Tianming smiled, but he wasn’t polite. ”So, care to explain why the two of you chose to attack us?”

”No need to feign ignorance. This isn’t your nova source world. It’s Skyway Quadstar and it belongs to the mysterians. You’re stealing it for yourself and attempting to take it away from the Mysterium Cluster for good. The Three Sovereigns Mysterium have tasked us to stop you and take it back. You don’t need to know anything else and just have to submit,” The old man said and exchanged glances with his partner. This was a rare chance! Not only had Tianming left the star, he’d also come out of his divine astralship. There couldn’t be a better time to kill him, and if they missed it, all would be for naught.

As they prepared to attack, Tianming smiled and waved his hands. ”Wait a second! The two of you are my guests. Perhaps there’s been a misunderstanding. Let’s not fight first. Since the two of you are on the same level as the Three Sovereigns Mysterium, you’re no doubt my grand seniors. I’m nothing before the likes of the two of you. Might you humor me with an answer to my question? How’d the two of you find us?”

The old couple smiled and the crone said, ”Foolish child, you’re even trying to weasel some information out of us. Let’s not waste time. We’ll send you on your way to the afterlife!”

The situation was becoming quite a headache for Tianming. He wasn’t afraid of the two mysterians; he simply didn’t understand how they caught up with him, and so long as that was the case, the sun’s safety wouldn’t be guaranteed even after he made it to the other side of the celestial boundary. But the enemy wouldn’t give him time to ponder, either, and directly attacked!

”Big Brother, since they’re as revered as the Three Sovereigns Mysterium, are they similarly powerful?” Feiling asked with some worry.

”That might not necessarily be the case. The two of them are already quite old. Even if they used to be much stronger than the Blood Abyss Wargod, their might must’ve considerably deteriorated. Let’s give it a try. We can always retreat if we can’t handle it,” Tianming said.

Even if they were stronger than the Blood Abyss Wargod, Tianming was also much stronger than he had been in the previous battle. His own cultivation was a level higher than before, he had two hundred billion additional Omnisentient Threads, and he had Ji Ji and Feiling helping him this time.

”Ling’er, I’ll be counting on you and Ji Ji,” he said. They hadn’t fought side by side for far too long. After Lingfeng and Qingyu had parted from them, Feiling was now his greatest help! While she was still only a twelfth-level solarian, about on par with Wudi in terms of cultivation but weaker when it came to actual combat, her presence could greatly boost his own combat effectiveness. They had practiced beforehand, and now was the time to put their coordination to the actual test.

”If we overcome this obstacle, we’ll finally be able to roam the stars with the sun.” The divine wonderians had come far too suddenly, but Tianming refused to cower.

The fight immediately broke out. The old man summoned his skyway masterbrush wonder once more. Though it was smaller this time, it seemed much tougher. Though the old man looked rather ghastly, the brush gave him a refined elegance of a scholarly warrior poet!

”Go, sacredway tome wonder!” The old crone clapped her hands, causing a gigantic white tome to appear in mid air. It opened and flipped through its pages with a deafening loudness. Her gentle demeanor seemed to become savage faster than she could flip past the pages of her book. Her ugly looks immediately grew far more refined once her divine wonder was out, making her look like a deity of books and learning.

The two divine wonders lit up the void of space. With nothing occluding the divine wonders, they stood out even more. Tianming got a full, explosive display of how mysterious divine wonders could be. The grand brush swept across space while the sacred tome came heavily bearing down.

”What impressive divine wonders!” The last time Tianming had faced off against divine wonderians was in the wondersky realm against Weisheng Xi and Weisheng Xii. Their chess and musical instrument divine wonders had left a deep impression on him.

”Die!” the old crone announced, her words akin to judgment itself.

”Ling’er, you rascals, let’s put some color on the deathly faces of these old folks, shall we?!” Tianming roared.

”What color?” Ying Huo asked as it came out from the lifebound space.

”Pink, of course!”

The flaming phoenix, crackling Regal Chaosfiend, spiked two-headed dragon, floral dryad, and tens of millions of eight-starred ladybugs immediately gathered by Tianming’s side with far more flair than the divine wonders. It made quite a confusing sight for the enemy, but that wasn’t the end of it. At the last moment, a pink glow emanated from Tianming’s body as a pink star rose into the air, illuminating everything in all directions. A pink-haired maiden sat atop the star, bangs shaking as she shot the enemies a look of disdain.

”What’s that? A divine wonder?” the old man said, confused. While they could compare Yin Chen to other metallic lifeforms, they were completely unaware of the existence of nova source lifeforms.

”It’s just a miniaturized nova source, but there’s no formation binding it. How’s it staying stable without going wild?” the old crone observed. It was far too weird.

”He really does have divine wonders!” The old man’s brows furrowed even more when the prime wonder appeared. They had thought that Tianming’s strongest point was his ten totems. While the decapath era godswords were also out, they were completely outshone by the spectacle of the lifebound beasts.

”He has far too many tricks,” the old man said.

”No matter. Having more just means he’s a jack of all trades, not a master. It just goes to show what kind of legendary benefits await us in this ancient star, ready for the taking,” the crone said.

While they were still shocked, Tianming quickly acted. He needed to give it his all to take down ancient elites like that, so he called on all of his subjects. A trillion individual streams of power flowed into his body before being funneled toward the pandemonium and cyclic sacrosuns. His lifebound beasts, totems, and divine wonder immediately powered up to a terrifying degree.

The other beasts aside, it was Ji Ji’s first time absorbing energy from the pandemonium sacrosun, which was itself a black-and-gold imperial star that contained boundless Omnisentient Will. Ji Ji’s spiritform wore a completely satisfied expression as the pink star started expanding!
