Beastmaster of the Ages

”Ancestors above!” Tianming dared not choose much. He picked a burning flame star and had his caeli merge into it, entering its foundation fortress!

”Suishen Wujin!” That was the name of the caelum. ”He was surely a prominent figure of a generation, a ruler of the astralscape!”

Such an existence’s caeli contained an indescribable grandeur, and even the young bees in the foundation fortress were numerous, each blazing with fierce flames.

”Twelve towers? So not even the valley lords have surpassed the Foundation stage?” Tianming saw hexagonal towers in the center of this foundation fortress, lofty and grand, with each brick and tile hiding secrets.

”However, these twelve towers form a hexagonal ring, which seems like a new structure. It’s clearly an advanced stage.” Tianming remembered that twelfth-level foundationeers were also eminents. He guessed that the valley lord’s superiority over other twelfth-level foundationeers had to do with the arrangement of the twelve towers.

”Never mind, let’s comprehend first....” Tianming immersed himself in it. He only had three days, so he dared not delve too deep and was mainly there to experience it.

And once he had, he felt a significant difference.

”This hexagonal ring can suck caeli into it, allowing me to directly witness Suishen Wujin’s cultivation of order!” Thousands of years of life flashed by like a storm. However, Tianming’s time seemed to slow down, allowing him to clearly see the insights.

”Amazing!” Tianming couldn’t help but immerse himself.

Fortunately, Ying Huo and the others reminded him of the passing time. It felt like a moment, but Ying Huo and the others told him that three days had gone by.

Tianming emerged from that caeli, still somewhat unsatisfied.

”Huh? My infernal order has significantly grown?” Experiencing and comprehending the hexagonal ring for the first time, Tianming didn’t expect to achieve such an epiphany, significantly growing the innate order obtained from Ying Huo.

”Let’s try directly breaking through and forming my sixth cosmic chart!” Including the breakthrough from the vitality idol, it would mean Tianming had broken through three levels in about a month on the Prehistoric Path.

Breaking through three levels in the Cosmic Cartography stage within a month without using order fragments was unheard of. Moreover, order fragments had side effects, while Tianming’s breakthroughs were genuine and quite solid.

”Let’s begin!” His sixth cosmic chart already had a framework, only needing stronger order to fill in the details.

One hour, two hours....

Suishen Zhao was already outside urging him, saying the time had come, and Yumo Yuanni and many Myriadpath Valley cultivators were waiting for him at the Ascension Colosseum!

Tianming grit his teeth, ignoring the outside world and focusing on forming the sixth cosmic chart. Though people would mock him and laugh, thinking he was scared if he was late, everyone would shut up as long as he broke through two levels and powerfully descended, crushing Yumo Yuanni!

This sixth cosmic chart was challenging to form because his order growth wasn’t sufficient, making the process arduous. Tianming was drenched in sweat, consuming a lot of energy.

It took an entire day. Finally, after great effort and a risky process, nearly losing everything, the outcome was favorable and Tianming’s sixth cosmic chart had taken shape.

”This is a real two-level breakthrough!” At that moment, Tianming grinned, unable to help but wildly laugh.

His progress was tremendous. Fiveway Blitzrun had increased in power, making it impossible for ordinary reverends to touch him.

”With my current strength, I should have a certain level of dominance below the Foundation stage!” Tianming’s heart burned with excitement. Everyone thought that Yumo Yuanni’s breakthrough would surely avenge his previous defeat, and even Suishen Yao and others believed Tianming had only broken through one level.

In reality, he unexpectedly broke through two levels! Unprecedentedly powerful strength surged within him and he was nearing his peak battle strength on the Sun.

”Damn, won’t I be unstoppable this time at the Ascension Colosseum?” Tianming stood up, his eyes blazing.

”Stop bragging.... Over there... they’re laughing... at you... for being... so late,” Yin Chen sniggered.

Tianming checked the time and realized that the third day was nearly over. Yumo Yuanni had waited for him for an entire day! Not showing up at the agreed time was obviously seen as fear of death, infuriating many specters. Now, the Ascension Colosseum was filled with curses.

”Can’t wait any longer, eh?” Tianming coldly smirked, heading straight for the door.

Just as he was about to reach the door, he felt a chill and paused. He immediately turned back, seeing an old man with white hair standing not far behind him. Tianming didn’t recognize him, but he was sure it was a significant figure of House Suishen. The man’s gaze, demeanor, and aura were extraordinarily imposing.

”Disciple Tianming greets senior.” Tianming hurriedly bowed.

”Was the Grand Myriadpath Ruin’s stars converging your doing?” The old man’s first question made Tianming break out in a cold sweat.

The other party was certain, so Tianming couldn’t deny it. He bowed his head, sincerely saying, ”This disciple is greatly honored to have been noticed by Senior.”

His heart thumped, the joy of the sixth cosmic chart turning into fright. He wasn’t sure what the old man’s reaction would be after seeing that scene.

While he was nervous, the old man didn’t say much more. He waved his hand and said, ”Go to the colosseum!”

”Yes!” Tianming breathed a sigh of relief, immediately turning to leave. Leaving the Suishen Ancestral Hall, he finally felt like he had returned to the human world.

Suishen Zhao was waiting for him at the door.

”Did you see my grandfather?” Suishen Zhao asked.

”What makes you say that?” Tianming replied.

”I can see all that sweat.... Honestly, I’m afraid of him, too,” Suishen Zhao said softly.

”Oh!” So it was Eminent Ranxing’s father! That meant he was the current head of House Suishen.

”Why didn’t you come out after I called you for so long? Were you forming a cosmic chart?” Suishen Zhao asked.

”Yes,” Tianming replied.

Suishen Zhao sighed, ”Three days are almost up. Let’s hurry, my sister is about to explode from all the booing.”

”Really? That means Yumo Yuanni must be getting very arrogant,” Tianming sneered, flying toward the colosseum with Suishen Zhao.

***

The Ascension Colosseum was packed with people. Although Tianming and Yumo Yuanni had fought once before, this time the arena seemed even more lively.

The specter was already standing in a small Fortuna Arena. His eyes were blood red, showing great impatience.
