Beastmaster of the Ages

That high-maniverse-class weapon was the divine artifact of the valley lords of Myriadpath Valley since time immemorial, symbolizing their authority. It was also the core of the Myriadpath Celestial Formation! The valley lord had used that very sword to kill the senior madame, and it was called the Myriadpath Divinity.

The sword’s might helped it achieve mythical status in the Million Mundi, yet on this very day, a sword that could rival it had been born: Tianming’s Grand-Orient Sword! ”Even though there’s no high-maniverse-class artifact among the Yin-Yang World’s legacy, I didn’t expect to make one myself....”

He stared hard at the sword. Its appearance hadn’t changed much, so he didn’t have to worry about it being discovered very easily. They might even underestimate its power, which would be perfect. ”I can still use Swordheart to put my totems in.”

Speaking of totems, he felt a little embarrassed about them since it had something to do with Eminent Jiguang’s Suishen Blood. ”I started off with only one simulacrum, but when I cultivated the first time with Yaoyao, I unlocked a second one. Cultivating with Auntie unlocked another. Then I went and got Yaoyao and Auntie’s Suishen Blood...”

He really wanted to slap himself on the face for that. ”I’m such a douche!”

He really felt sorry about that. Even though he hadn’t intentionally taken advantage of them, it was still a fact that he had benefited at their expense. ”I guess no matter how well they try to guard against it, they’ll be vulnerable to thieves from within....”

Eminent Jiguang, especially, had been vulnerable after Suishen Yue’s attempt, but Tianming had endured it. But that still didn’t change their ultimate fate, which was something he deeply regretted. He really hadn’t expected to get any Suishen Blood at all, yet both of theirs had ended up in his totems. The two women alone had caused his ’fragmented’ totems to unlock three additional simulacra!

”The aunt and niece make a truly great pair.” Even though he hadn’t asked for it, his totems had still grown as a result. Tianming manifested his decapath era godswords.

”Sixfold Simulacrum, Decapath Swordmaidens?” He activated the simulacrum and watched as his totems transformed into ten celestial-being totems! They were sword-wielding goddesses, each with their own unique look. For instance, the personification of the Eastdivinity Acme totem sword was covered in flames and clad in a phoenix-feather dress, and the goddess of the Westvoid Progenifiend was surrounded by black smoke and wielding a sinister, black sword.

Each goddess had their own motif, but all of them had the exact same figure and face as Eminent Jiguang. ”Holy crap, there’s no way I can get away with this for now.... I can’t use my sixfold simulacrum in Myriadpath Valley!”

Fortunately, the sixfold simulacrum could be used in tandem with Swordheart for a general power boost. The goddesses could work their magic within the Grand-Orient Sword, though their portraits would be visible on the blade of the sword if one looked closely enough. That alone would be proof enough that he was the one who had taken Eminent Jiguang’s Suishen Blood. ”It’s fine. The power of the Era Swordmaidens should be pretty intense. I might be fast enough that people can’t clearly see my blade.”

The sevenfold simulacrum, on the other hand, was called Pinnacle Swordpath. While it was even more powerful, it didn’t look as impressive. Pinnacle Swordpath was akin to a sword domain. In battle, Tianming could manifest a path of swords, upon which his totems would gain an extreme boost in power! It was a path of slaughter for him! He could use it on its own, or within the Grand-Orient Sword. ”Pinnacle Swordpath should be powerful enough to be my totems’ killing move.”

After his transformation, Tianming’s power was getting closer to his lifebound beasts with star counts of 9.99 million. I’ve almost catched up to my beasts, thanks to the simulacra and my enhanced Grand-Orient Sword.

Once he fused with his lifebound beasts, his combat capability would be unthinkably high. If it weren’t for his low third level, nobody would be able to rival him. His strengths were what allowed him to fight even geniuses that were six levels above him.

”Hmm, if my full arsenal has a combat capability of ten points, I personally would only amount to two of those points.” One of the other eight points was from the grand lexicon wonder and three more were taken up by the enhanced Grand-Orient Sword and his decapath era godswords. Another four of them came from his five lifebound beasts, their cosmoforce, and the physical enhancements they gave his body. As for Yin Chen, it was mostly used for reconnaissance.

Just with eighty percent of his full might alone, he was able to fight geniuses six levels above him in Myriadpath Valley, and so far, only Eminent Jiguang was aware of his frightening talent. As for everyone else, they had only seen him fight geniuses two levels above him, but that alone was enough to get the valley lord to be aware of him. Either way, his breakthroughs had given him quite a huge boost in confidence.

”I’ve enjoyed all the protection and care Auntie’s given me for so long. I have to grow up soon so that I can protect her instead and make those that would wish her harm pay the price a myriadfold!” Tianming didn’t waste any time and piloted the Blissful Union out of the Yin-Yang World into the astralscape of order. The giant whale had finally returned to the vast sea after being beached in a collapsing world for eons.

”Does it have a star map?” Tianming fiddled around with the controls and caused a vast map to open up before him, detailing the locations and names of hundreds of thousands of stars. ”Are these all infinitum-class worlds?”

The map actually spanned hundreds of thousands of mundi, which was comparable to the Grand Myriadpath Ruins’, which no doubt covered the entire Million Mundi. The Yin-Yang World’s understanding of the world around it definitely didn’t pale in comparison to that of Myriadpath Valley.

Most importantly, the star map also had Myriadpath Valley’s location marked! It was located at the center of the star map at the shiniest spot, which was to be expected for the hub of the universe.

Through piloting the fortuna-class ship, Tianming noticed that it had far more features than infinitum-class ships, including the vastly expanded star map. The fact that the ship had those locations marked meant that it’d once traveled to them ages ago!
