Beastmaster of the Ages

The complete form of the Order Relic wasn’t an impossible dream. However, the important question now was what use did the nascent form have?

When the albi in Tianming’s head became astrons, some of them were dyed green due to Huang Qi’s walnuts.

“Be absorbed!” With a thought, the astrons there shone as their hexagonal holes generated a massive devouring force that sucked in the spreading green. The six walnuts were quickly gone.

Huang Qi spat out blood! She had lost her method of interfering with Tianming. She began to curse and struggle, but it was all useless; only despair awaited her. Even though she had altered Tianming’s fingers on his right hand, and the green light in the form of heavenly patterns were still carved on his astrons, Huang Qi no longer had a way to force Tianming into the mysterious ring to free her.

“The nascent form’s attribute is called the ‘ordered abyss’. Every aperture on each astron is an ordered abyss, which can absorb many things, like the orders others use on me or other destructive energies that invade my body, then slowly convert them into my six orders, allowing the power of my orders to continuously increase! It can not only allow me to ignore being suppressed by order, but also make my body stronger. It synergizes well with the Greenspark Tower.” That was the frightening aspect of the Order Relic, and this was just its nascent form.

It was clear how powerful it was from how even an existence like Huang Qi wanted to use it for rebirth.

If Tianming wished, he could even use it to remove the heavenly patterns on his astrons in his right hand. He had finally seen a light at the end of the tunnel!

“What about this?” Tianming tried to remove the collar on his neck, but failed.

“Fine, I’ll shapeshift then!” That was one of an astral god’s perks. Tianming tried to yank it upward while he shaped his head into a cylindrical shape.

“Li Tianming! Don’t even think you can get rid of me!” The collar unexpectedly shrank and attacked itself to his right hand’s ring finger.

“Get lost!” Tianming tried again, but Huang Qi used some unknown method to make the ring look like it had vanished, even though it was still on his finger. Tianming couldn’t succeed in the end.

“Looks like someone celebrated too early,” Huang Qi sneered.

“Are you mad?” Tianming was speechless.

“You stole my treasure and you think you can get rid of me? Just wait.…” Huang Qi’s voice faded away until it vanished.

“Hey?” Tianming called out for a long time, but she didn’t respond. He didn’t get it. “What the hell?” Fortunately, he had temporarily resolved Huang Qi’s threat and become an astral god.

“Matters outside have been settled and don’t need me for now. I need to seize this time to stabilize my heptastar physique that now has the Order Relic fused within.” Thus, Tianming immersed himself in the profundities of astral gods. The refreshing feeling of a whole new system made him lose track of time.

The cosmoforce within his body continuously rose, his capacity seemingly endless with six great orders keeping it under control. Finally, he was reflected as a first-astral phaser on his disciple card!

However, even as an eleventh-level stellaminor, he had been able to beat fourth-astral phasers. “My only weak point is my soul. Even Ying Huo and the rest have fifth holy souls, but I’m still stuck at the third regal soul. I’m even worse than many stellaminors, who have fourth imperial souls! Looks like I need to find a soul cultivation method and at least reach parity with ordinary orderans’ souls.” Orderans generally had fifth holy souls.

Cultivating the soul took a lot of time and would slow down cultivation progress. However, on Ebonia, no one dared to slack off in cultivating their souls with the ebons around. Tianming had avoided problems because he had the Soul Tower, but he’d gotten his warnings from suffering the Shenxi Clan’s taixi souls and Huang Qi’s walnuts.

“You can’t leave any glaring deficiencies on your path of cultivation!”

As an orderan, the growth of one’s order was the crux. Tianming would remain as a first-astral phaser no matter how much cosmoforce he had unless he gained a second-astral phaser’s order field. Thus, moving on, no one would misunderstand his cultivation level.

“It’s time to make them realize I really can leap four of five levels to defeat those ebon geniuses!” He no longer needed to fake it.

Tianming gave his body a comprehensive overview. A heptastar physique, six mighty innate orders, cosmoforce, the Grand-Orient Vortex, and Ji Ji’s genesis ancestral nova source, which could infuse his body even more easily now.

“It’s all spectacular!” He was an astral god!

He felt like his body was an astralscape in miniature, in the process of a universe being birthed. He absolutely loved his new body.

Tianming opened his eyes, his black-and-gold pupils like two shining stars.

“Big Brother?” Feiling was standing in front of him, clearly anxious.

“Were you worried? I’m an astral god now, and a fitting match for you!” Tianming smugly laughed.

“Oh….” Feiling froze.

Tianming suddenly noticed many people were standing around and was immediately embarrassed.

The old folks all laughed.

“Truly a springtime of youth!”

“Good, good! He can be fruitful and multiply now that he’s an astral god!”

“All of you shut up and stop teasing my darling grandson!” Tianming heard Dongshen Yue within the crowd.
