Beastmaster of the Ages

”Yes!” Mu Tianyuan nodded.

”Could specters from other god domains have descended?”

”That’s impossible! I control the formation in the Order College. No specter can enter or depart.” Mu Tianyuan firmly shook his head.

”Among those aurumites, the strongest is a fifth-level overflower. There’s no way they can take down Team Hexapath in such a short time, let alone kill them all.” Yugong Huiqiye frowned, showing confusion.

”Yes! So that means—”

Mu Tianyuan was about to point out that there was something strange about it when Yugong Huishenjun interrupted him with a cold glare. ”There’s only one possibility!” The young child of heaven stared at Mu Tianyuan without any regard for courtesy.

”Go on!” Gritting his teeth, Mu Tianyuan suppressed his dissatisfaction. He had no choice; despite controlling God Domain One and being stronger than the two wonderians, he was still afraid to offend them.

”It must be the work of that thing!” Yugong Huishenjun said.

”Are you insinuating that it’s the Invincible Ultimate God of Old?” Mu Tianyuan retorted. ”That’s nonsense. It wouldn’t do such a thing. And I’d appreciate it if you’d show it some respect!”

”Respect?” Yugong Huishenjun sneered, his eyes burning with contempt. ”How ridiculous. That thing’s just a phantom beast with great soul power! It’s already kind of you to not use it to build a wondersky realm. How could you treat it like your ancestor!

”I’ve never seen anyone take a beast as an ancestor. Or perhaps orderlies have nothing in common with humans? Are you just parasites in the Sea of Order?”

”Yugong Huishenjun!!” Mu Tianyuan’s bloodshot eyes widened with rage. ”Please show some respect! We have a cooperative relationship. You aren’t our superior!”

”A cooperative relationship?” Yugong Huishenjun’s eyes turned cold as he walked right up to Mu Tianyuan. Although his face wasn’t even the size of Mu Tianyuan’s large eye, his demeanor and the glow on his body contained power and unbridled ferocity.

”Must I expose the truth? Would the Ancient Oldgod Domain have anything to do with you parasites if it weren’t for the fact that wonderians refuse to stay here for long periods due to the risk of xeno fatigue? You’re miners, so do your job well! It hasn’t been that long since we taught you a lesson and you dare speak of respect?” Yugong Huishenjun rebuked.

”Big Brother, that’s enough. Our parents have said that some things are better left unsaid.” Yugong Huiqiye pouted.

”You...!” Mu Tianyuan took a deep breath, his trembling eyes betraying the rage inside. However, he still suppressed his emotions.

Few orderlies wanted to admit the truth and most of them still believed that they were the masters of the Ancient Oldgod Domain. But the truth was that they were only entitled to ten percent of the produced overflow fragments while the wonderians seized the rest in their “transactions”, and they were under complete supervision. What kind of masters were they? The most they could do was enslave the specters.

”Did you hear that, Principal Gourd?” Yugong Huishenjun stretched out a hand and patted his face, coldly laughing, ”That phantom beast has been causing more and more trouble. We’ve decided to deal with it. I’m here to send you a warning! Don’t try to play any tricks, or else... I think the specters would love to make you their slaves!”

”The question is, can you deal with it? It’s omnipotent!” Mu Tianyuan interjected.

”Omnipotent? What do you think this is?” In Yugong Huishenjun’s hand was a small silver bell.

The small bell only appeared for a moment, yet Mu Tianyuan felt like he was smashed by a heavy hammer and his eyes bulged. ”The Soulshaker Bell!” He retreated several hundred meters in shock, his eye filled with awe and fear.

”Hahaha! With this thing, I’ll torture the phantom beast when it shows up!” Yugong Huishenjun coldly snickered.

Mu Tianyuan’s chest violently rose and fell. He shook his head and sighed, ”It seems you’re prepared....”

”Here’s a word of advice: get your head straight. The wonderians conquered the Upper Star Ruin, the Ancient Oldgod Domain, everything! No one is worthy to speak in front of us, got it?” Yugong Huishenjun said.

”Big Brother, you don’t have to be so fierce. Of course he understands. Principal Gourd is so cute, unlike you! You’re so bad and mean!” Yugong Huiqiye quipped.

”Shut up! Your acting is disgusting!” Yugong Huishenjun countered with a glare.

At that moment, the Taboo Ocean rumbled and shrank once more. Mu Tianyuan, Yugong Huishenjun, and Yugong Huiqiye turned at the same time.

”Child of heaven, we previously agreed that the Nightfiend is yours and Original Sin is ours...” Mu Tianyuan solemnly said.

”Alright, don’t worry! Wonderians keep our word.” Narrowing his gaze, Yugong Huishenjun smiled and continued, ”But it’s naive of you if you think you can unlock the Original Sin Pool through that woman.”

”Naive?” Mu Tianyuan froze.

”Someone more powerful than you can ever imagine once said that there isn’t anyone left in the cosmos who can unlock the Original Sin Pool! Stop daydreaming and refine that drop of cosmic god blood instead.” Yugong Huishenjun curled his lip.

”Impossible?” Mu Tianyuan didn’t actually hold much hope. He just thought he would give it a try, and if it didn’t work, refining the cosmic god blood wouldn’t be a bad idea.

“Alright!” He nodded without saying anything more. “By the way...” Turning around to look at the two, he continued, “what about the Nightfiend? Have you figured out anything?”

Mu Tianyuan didn’t expect Yugong Huishenjun’s handsome face would suddenly pull tight at the casual question.

“Don’t ask!”

Mu Tianyuan was stunned. His reaction was very strange! Why was he angry? It was just a prisoner being transported away. Could something have happened? He shuddered at the thought of the Nightfiend.

The Nightfiend could restrain us, not the wonderians. Did he escape? Or perhaps there are new developments? Mu Tianyuan guessed, but didn’t dare speak.

The Taboo Ocean shook once more and his heart began pounding.

”Soon! Very soon!”

***

On the other side.

”The Order College is built within an eye of heaven with formations to withstand the storm and keep it safe.”

Now that almost every elite of the Order College was away, the formation was sealed. A little distance away from the Taboo Ocean, the eye of heaven in front of Tianming was perhaps the largest one.

Moran was the only one beside him. The two looked at each other.

”Let’s go!”

Ji Ji played an important role by opening up a passage for them and providing Moran strength. After traveling dozens of kilometers, Tianming touched the formation. Like a brick wall tens of kilometers thick, it was indeed hard. Without a word, he started digging.

”Your hands are really amazing...” Moran said at the sight.

”Is that so? My hands are excellent with everything I do.” Tianming arched an eyebrow.

”Fine, show me!” Moran lowered her head, her face flushed.

”Should I go faster?”

”Yes, faster... faster....” Her voice was as quiet as a mosquito.

Tianming cleared his throat and concentrated on the task at hand. In less than ten minutes, he stared into the depths of Order College in shock.

”What’s wrong?” Moran asked.

”There’s something inside calling out to me...” Tianming faintly said.

”Calling out to you?” Moran froze. ”Could it be the cosmic god blood? They said that it has something to do with the Flameyellow Imperial Star!”

”It’s very likely. I have two formation cores with me. One’s the control core of the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb, and the other’s the fusion formation core of the Sun. They both originate from the Flameyellow Imperial Star!”

Tianming dug through the formation faster and faster as he sensed the direction of the call. ”Because of my Order Relic body, I couldn’t absorb the Flameyellow Bloodsoul so I’m not considered a flameyellow divinity!” he said, his eyes fiery.

”So it must have something to do with the two control cores,” Moran softly responded.

”Yes. We must be careful!” His left hand worked on the formation while the other held Moran close as they traveled through the thick formation.

”Qingyu....” Tianming looked back at the Taboo Ocean, his eyes filled with concern. Thinking of Wudi worried day and night on the Sun, his emotions grew stronger. ”We must bring her home!”

His hands weren’t idle for even a moment. The Plundering Eye easily found the right way to break the formation so he could enter without destroying its structure. Tens of kilometers might sound very thick, but it was easier than unlocking the old valley lord and Jian Qinghe’s formations.

”Hurry!”

The call grew louder and more intense and Tianming’s heart rate accelerated. According to Yin Chen, two young and powerful wonderians had appeared near Taboo Ocean and were speaking to Mu Tianyuan. It was a pity that Yin Chen couldn’t get too close to them, so it couldn’t hear their conversation.

”We have to lure at least half of those elites over before we can act,” Tianming said to it.

Yin Chen would also convey his words to Zi Zhen, who was out and couldn’t wait any longer.

”We’ve broken through!” Taking a deep breath, Tianming finally entered the Order College and had Moran walk in front of him. As a wonderian, she could hold them off for a while even if she was discovered.

At the same time, a large number of invisible silver eggs poured out from his lifebound space and began spreading out all over the central area of the college.

Tianming looked up and found it boundless, a city of giants. The gates were hundreds of meters tall, while the palaces and pavilions were over a thousand meters high. The architecture wasn’t magnificent, but elegant. It was all constructed with the best cosmic ores and covered in formations for protection. Clearly, the technique came from the wonderians.

”The orderlies are closely bound to the wonderians!”

The two invaders snuck through the city of giants, their size making it easier to hide. With the call, Tianming knew the exact location of the Original Sin Pool without having to rely on Yin Chen.

”It must be the Original Sin Pool that’s calling me!” There were very few people around. Those who remained were foundationeers, as well as the old, young, and weak, while the rest were at the Taboo Ocean.

”I wonder where the aurumites are imprisoned.” They certainly wouldn’t be close to where the “noble” orderlies lived.

”We’re almost there!”

Up ahead was a pitch-black building. It wasn’t tall or conspicuous, but it was protected by many formations. It was obviously the upper part of an underground palace.

”Let’s go!”

Tianming used his Plundering Arm once more, when all of a sudden, a roar ripped through his brain. ”Who dares break into Order College? Go to hell!!”
