Beastmaster of the Ages

Pink nova source spread above the surface of the sun, forming waves and storms, sweeping across the entire world. Amidst the wind and waves, a nine-headed dragon resembling a metal machine majestically swung its giant sword-shaped tail. Even without sufficient compact nova source, the ether-class Ninedragon Imperial Tomb flaunted the grandeur and might of the most powerful war machine on the Flameyellow Imperial Star. Powered by nova source, the nine-headed metal dragon took off, heading toward the Sky Palace Formation at the end of the horizon, where nova source erupted. The concentration of nova source there was comparable to that of an ether-class world; it was even enough for Tianming’s cultivation. In fact, the current sanctuary-class sun could also supply nova source for the ether-class Ninedragon Imperial Tomb. After being upgraded, the tomb was definitely “starving.”

Lin Xiaodao and Wudi were still fighting, while Lin Zhongtian and Lin Zhonghai were in the Reaper on their way back to Gladeus to fetch reinforcements for support. There was chaos across the sun, but within the Sky Palace Formation, all was quiet and peaceful. As soon as Tianming returned in the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb, the masses waiting for good news burst into cheers, their gazes falling upon the new tomb. The war machine brought them a strong sense of security.

”All hail Emperor Tianming!”

With fiery hearts, billions knelt down to worship their emperor with fiery hearts. Former celestial orderians and citizens of the Myriad Solar Sects had witnessed him and Wudi joining hands to transform the heliacal-class world into a sanctuary-class one, expanding it by more than three thousand times. The miracle was unprecedented for them. Every change brought about by the father and son widened the Omnisentient Threads between the people and Tianming until they became as thick as dragons. They were almost as strong as the connection between beastmaster and beast veins.

Tianming could feel the power their belief brought to him; it was almost too much for his Imperial Will. ”I still need imperial order! Damn you, Huang Qi! If it weren’t for you, I’d be so much stronger now!”

With his growth, the people of the sun had transformed as well. The sanctuary-class Sun, the two great formations, the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb, and the people of the Sun formed a blazing, consolidated super star that belonged to Tianming.

”What’s the point of leveling up and becoming the best alone?” He looked around and saw his family, friends, and people who were connected to him.

”When one person attains the dao, so do all his people. Only when all living beings in my dynasty rise to the top can I be called a true emperor!” He had long understood that. But today, it was the current situation that had made him truly feel a surge in passion.

”There may be many ’protagonists’ in the cosmos. There are many who can make themselves stronger, but I should be the only one that can make everyone strong.” That was what truly set him apart. Tianming’s heart rose with emotion as he felt his people’s burning passions and resonated with each of them, but he wasn’t idle. He linked the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb to the Flameyellow Fusion Formation to absorb the Sun’s nova source, which was then compressed and directed to the dragon palaces.

Ji Ji was in the tomb and the solar core at the same time, so it was just a transfer of its power and the process didn’t take long. Very soon, the dragon palaces that had previously been empty were filled with pink compact nova source.

”Now the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb has truly reached ether class. To what extent has its combat ability improved?” Unfortunately, the Star Hunters’ ether-class nova source was almost completely gone. Otherwise, Tianming would have another go at the Lightsoul, which was capable of breaking through the firmament ocean wonder and severing the former Ninedragon Imperial Tomb’s tail.

The two cores have given the tomb two new lethal powers, Dragonrage Cannon and a sword-shaped tail. What new changes will the Whitedragon Core bring? Tianming wondered. The celestial patterns within the Whitedragon Core flowed with his thoughts. As soon as the palaces were filled, the tomb underwent a drastic transformation.

”Look!”

”Wow!”

Those within the Sky Palace Formation saw a white protective barrier composed of silver dragon scales, like a suit of dragon scale armor, envelop the tomb. It now appeared silvery-white, sleek, and glossy.

”Whitedragon Silvermoon!”

In fact, the silver dragon scale barrier was a separate astralship formation independent from the tomb’s formation. It was purely a shield, which meant that the astralship formation within the tomb couldn’t be damaged until the shield was destroyed. In that way, the people on the astralship wouldn’t suffer any injuries.

”Whitedragon Silvermoon is controlled by the Whitedragon Core. Not only does it protect, it can also improve the tomb’s combat power. It should be able to remain hidden and reflect light through transformation!” Tianming was thrilled. ”It should be quite powerful! The battle would’ve been less painful if the tomb had been upgraded to ether class sooner.” He had to thank the Lightsoul for that near-fatal blow!

”Judging from the reserve compact nova source, there’s fifty thousand times the nova source of a standard heliacal-class astralship stored in the dragon palaces! It’s now a high-ether-class astralship on the same level as the Reaper and the Firmament.” When the reserve nova source reached a hundred thousand times that of a heliacal-class astralship, the tomb would be infinitum class.

”With Ji Ji’s power to strengthen nova sources, it’ll be even more powerful.” This transformation gave Tianming confidence. “From now on, I’ll have a base to fall back on even if I wander about the stars.” The sanctuary-class Sun was his large base.

”Big Brother, should we go out and help them?” Feiling asked. Now that the war was fought hand-to-hand, astralships didn’t play such a big role. However, Moran’s divine wonders were equivalent to a top expert.

”In a bit. I’m planning to head to Starting City to see if I can break through to the fifth astral phase.”
