Beastmaster of the Ages

Inside the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb, Tianming’s head hurt from the constant quarrels. Ji Ji wasn’t a quiet one; it wandered around the tomb with its hands behind its back, its gaze cunning. It had gone through his spatial ring and taken away all his shiny things, displaying them on the ground so it could look at them. Fortunately, they were almost at their destination.

”Stop being so noisy, you troublemakers. We’re approaching the target.”

The Ninedragon Imperial Tomb moved at lightning speed. A few days later, the unowned nova source appeared before their eyes. It was a blue star, like an enormous water sphere. Even from a distance away, they could feel the cold emanating from it.

”A water-type nova source! Not bad.” For cosmic wildbeasts, such a nova source was like a bottomless ocean world.

”So that’s what a nova source without a fusion formation looks like.” Feiling’s eyes widened in fascination.

”Yes, it’s so beautiful,” Xiaoxiao exclaimed.

”It’s certainly more beautiful than an owned nova source, but it’s continuously and rapidly dissipating. Then again, beauty often means danger. It’ll be unbearable for us to approach it in person,” Tianming said. From a distance, it looked like a blue pearl in the cosmos. But upon closer examination, it was definitely an icy hell. They couldn’t see very well from their position so he steered the tomb closer. Dyed by the light of this nova source, everything around them had turned blue. It was even more beautiful.

”It’s about five times the size of Violetglory!” Tianming was extremely excited.

”So the sun will become a skypiercer-class world after it absorbs this nova source?” Feiling asked.

”Yes!” A skypiercer-class world had ten times the nova source of a heliacal-class world. Violetglory was considered a standard helical-class world.

”We’re outsiders in this area, so we have to be cautious and learn the rules and forces involved. Let’s take a look around first!” Because of that lack of knowledge, Tianming didn’t directly head for the blue nova source and extend the Flameyellow Divine Pillars to absorb it. That was the simplest and most straightforward move, but someone might see them. If that happened, they might have to return to the Mysterium Cluster. Thus, after their escape from the cluster, keeping a low profile was the first rule.

The nova source’s blue storms made it easier to hide the tomb as Tianming moved it around the blue nova source. Under the blue glow, the three beauties in the tomb appeared even more dreamlike.

”What’s that?!” After circling the nova source for a while, Tianming found no one. Just as he was about to celebrate, he noticed a strange barrier in front of the tomb. ”It’s a formation! That means there are people here!”

That was undoubtedly pouring a bucket of cold water on them. There were people, forces, and eyes there. As an outsider, it would be considered pillaging if Tianming tried to take this ‘unowned’ nova source. Even a powerful dragon couldn’t crush a snake in its old haunts, and he was no dragon.

”Calm down.” Nova source was the number one treasure in the cosmos. It wasn’t surprising that someone else had gotten there first. carefully He proceeded around the formation. As expected, its range was huge. It enveloped almost the entire nova source.

”Is this the embryonic form of a fusion formation? Did someone build a fusion formation here? Perhaps they’re planning on slowly absorbing cosmic dust after they succeed, and in the end, this will become a new nova source world,” Tianming muttered.

”Tianming, take your tortoise away!” The Archaionfiend shouted from behind.

Tianming turned around. ”Holy shit!” What he saw was Lan Huang pressing the Archaionfiend to the ground in an inelegant manner. The ferocious Archaionfiend that had taken countless lives could only beg Tianming for help, its face flushed with embarrassment.

”Get it away from me and I’ll tell you what this formation is!” the Archaionfiend screamed.

”Lan Huang, go play somewhere else.” Tianming glared at Lan Huang.

Lan Huang raised its heads and shouted, ”No! Chicken Bro is teaching me how to suppress Big Sister Wu You!”

”Scram,” Tianming said.

”Fine!” Shrinking its necks, Lan Huang ran away at once.

”Come here.”

Under Tianming’s gaze, the Archaionnfiend grit its teeth and walked toward him, cursing Lan Huang and Ying Huo all the way.

”What is it?” Tianming was curious because he felt that this flimsy formation was very different from a fusion formation that could seal nova source. It didn’t look like one, either.

”This is a rudimentary version of a fusion formation also known as a transportation formation. Its function is to temporarily cover the nova source. Although it can’t prevent the nova source from dissipating, a transportation formation can connect to certain divine astralships that can transport it elsewhere. The progress might be slow, but it’ll still reach its destination after many years,” The Archaionfiend explained.

”Got it! So they aren’t building a new world here, but transporting it away to fill up other nova source worlds,” Tianming said.

”Yes.” The Archaionfiend nodded.

”What else?”

”That’s it.”

”What kind of divine astralship can transport this nova source?” Tianming asked.

”I don’t know,” the Archaionfiend replied.

”Then what else do you know?” Tianming contemptuously said.

”I know you’re going to die.”

”Are you itching for a beating? Lan Huang, get it!” Tianming rolled his eyes.

Lan Huang was in the midst of scampering off when it heard Tianming and came running back.

”Tianming, you’re shameless, you’re inhuman!” The Archaionfiend grew anxious. ”Xiaoxiao, save your lifebound beast!” it yelled.

Xiaoxiao giggled, pretending not to hear it.

Inside the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb, there was yet another flurry of excitement.

......

Tianming grew solemn once more, guiding the tomb around the nova source. ”This transportation formation looks incomplete. There should be people around—I wonder how strong they are.”

”Are you still going to take it if it’s already owned?” Feiling softly asked.

”Nothing ventured, nothing gained. It’s easy to absorb such a large unowned nova source with no residents. After all, nova source is the most precious treasure in the universe and the sun is in great need of it now,” Tianming said. There was no way he would destroy worlds to obtain nova source, like the sun emperor, and an event like the migration of Violetglory’s people would only happen once. In the future, unowned nova sources would be the only way for the sun to grow and to bring out the advantages of the Flameyellow Imperial Star.

”I won’t give up without verifying our opponent’s strength,” Tianming said.

”Don’t worry, we have Little Fish,” Feiling replied.
