Beastmaster of the Ages

A hexagonal sea of black and gold hung high in the sky. Within it were many smaller hexagons, each of which contained many smaller hexagons in their own right, going down one tier after another. Even though it was just a miniature version of the Sea of Order, it was still utterly shocking to behold for the folks who hadn’t seen the Sea of Order before, whether they were mortal or god. But now, laws and orders were there for them to see in the flesh!

Every second, someone entered a trance-like state, borrowing the power of Tianming’s imperial order to tap into the powers of laws through countless omnisentient threads, linking straight into their heavenly and divine wills.

”So it’s a tier-zero order that represents the Sea of Order, ruling over and encompassing all smaller orders within. All questions about cultivation can be found here with me....” When the people heard Tianming’s proclamation, they understood why the imperial order was there.

Before that, he had used his imperial will to help his subjects and followers break through. And now his imperial order took its place, replacing the superficial version with the real deal. If heavenly will was dust and divine will was a rock, order was an entire mountain, containing rocks and grains of sand. It would serve as a much better reference, even more so than legacy caeli.

”The Primordial God-Emperor is truly divine!” Other people aside, Tianming himself was shocked when he learned the true nature of his new order.

As Tianming’s number-one fan, Xiaoxiao also had an omnisentient thread. She stood closer to him than all of his other believers, yet even she was ignorant to what was coming into her body from Tianming. Her eyes were wide with stupefaction. ”Why does his order look just like the Sea of Order?”

”Is it useful for you?” Wu You asked.

”Not really. My order is of a higher tier than his.”

”So what’s the big deal?”

”Don’t you get it? This is an order! Think about it—there’s so many people, even mortals who only have heavenly wills, that’re getting the benefit of training with order!”

”That’s right! This is insane! Come to think of it, you really should be a bit more proactive if you want to secure a place by his side.”

”Why don’t you do it then?”

”What am I even supposed to do? And with whom?”

”Lan Huang, of course. It’s still single, so it’s the perfect target for you. You’re the older sister. Show it some of your maternal instincts and you’ll have it in your grasp.”

”Fuck you!” Wu You blushed and wildly roared in the lifebound space. Xiaoxiao had completely hit the mark.

Two hours later, Tianming felt his imperial order dim as he began to tire. He had shared a bountiful harvest with his faithful this time around. Countless people cheered for him from within the Sky Palace Formation. The fact that the nova source of the world was being drained at an unprecedented rate meant that a lot of people were breaking through at the same time.

”On average, those at the Heavenly Will stage broke through five levels in a day! The highest record was eighteen breakthroughs in a row! As for gods who cultivate divine will, they achieved a breakthrough on average, with the highest achieving eight in a row.” Even if it was only an ascendant breaking through from the first to the ninth level, it was still nothing to scoff at as it was only one example out of billions of people.

Tianming’s imperial order had resulted in a crazy wave of breakthroughs. Only he knew the true extent of the numbers for now. No doubt when an actual survey was conducted, the results would shock the entire world and their faith in him would be reinforced even further. If this was what the imperial order could achieve in its initial stage, it would definitely be able to continue to raise the overall standard of every cultivator as it grew.

Tianming was truly the ruler and leader of the Sun. Once he found the way, others could simply follow in his stead. When he needed their help, all he needed to do was will it.

”Come on!” He was ready.

Unsurprisingly, the power of the denizens of the Sun who had benefited from Flameyellow Bloodsoul and imperial order came as a surging rush, causing the energy levels in his body to skyrocket. A storm of black and gold manifested around him, fueling his totems and dark stellar chart to the very brim.

He had never been so strong, and the sheer power caused him to unconsciously groan. It felt like all he would need was a single punch to destroy a divine astralship. He had never gained so much power personally; he had mostly relied on the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb and Moran’s divine wonders before.

”I’m at the ninth level now. Once my beasts finish evolving, I’ll be able to take on Brother Lingxiao, a third-level cosmic cartographer, without any help. However....” The energy that he circulated from within the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb was far fiercer than the Omnisentient Will.

”On the Sun, my capabilities, including all my divine wonders, totems, and beasts, should let me fight on par with seventh-level cosmic cartographers!” That was ten whole levels above the ninth astral phase. He believed that he was a miracle that had never occurred in the entire history of the astralscape of order.

Unlike Wudi’s Flameyellow Coffin, which only boosted his power, Tianming’s boost applied to all aspects. He didn’t even have to hide in a coffin like Wudi, whose body wasn’t actually powerful.

Even Lin Xiaoyun of the third branch and Lin Wuyi of the seventh branch, who were at their peak of power at the age of three thousand, were only sixth-level cosmic cartographers, let alone the seventh. Basically, the key qualification that one had to have in the Swordgod Lin Clan was being an eighth-level cosmic cartographer. In other words, Tianming, despite his age, was far more powerful on the Sun, as powerful as the top elites in the Infinitum Mundus!

”In other words, I’m able to protect myself to a certain extent here. Even if a powerful elite comes to assassinate me, I won’t be a helpless sitting duck!” That had always been his weakness. He was still young and had only cultivated for decades, so it wasn’t that surprising.

But now he had taken the crucial step to remedy that issue.

”What a miracle!” Wudi, Xiaodao, and the rest were filled with awe.

”Something on this scale is impossible to keep secret. Yi Daiyan will definitely grow desperate after hearing of it,” Lin Xiao said, yet that wasn’t something Tianming was presently concerned about.

He was waiting for his beasts to finish evolving.
