Beastmaster of the Ages

“I’ll leave everything outside to you.”

Tianming bid farewell to the black-robed youth, then took Zi Zhen’s hand and entered the Sea of Order together with her. When entered physically, there was only storm and chaos, with little order to be found.

The ring on his hand glimmered with a faint light, guiding Tianming forward. He casually asked Huang Qi, “So, how’s your relationship with the other Aeternal Beings? Don’t tell me you’re the outcast.”

“You can forget about getting anything out of me,” Huang Qi said with a teasing laugh. “Unless you let me out. If you do, I can serve you just like those old hags at your side, dedicating my body and soul to you. I’ll answer any question you have. For you, I’d even be willing to stand against the entire world.”

“Save it. I don’t do bestiality.” Tianming paused for a beat, then sneered. “Don’t tell me you’re the weakest one. Otherwise, why didn’t you dare make a peep when you reached the Realm of Chaos? Worried someone would find you?”

Huang Qi simply laughed.

“Your laugh tells me I hit the mark. You really don’t have any friends. Otherwise you wouldn’t have ended up sealed away,” Tianming said.

“Not talking to you. Since you think you don’t need me, go try on your own. When you’re beaten bloody, come back and talk to me.”

After that, no matter what Tianming said, she refused to respond. She even blocked her ears entirely.

Tianming and Zi Zhen exchanged a glance. They really were lost looking at the storm before them. Where was Sixth’s vita?

Just then, bee-head people, ranging from over a thousand meters tall down to only ten, appeared in front of them.

They were a mix of genders, and most wore no clothing. They were still acceptable to look at below the neck, but there was only nightmare fuel above the neck of fur, huge red compound eyes, and disgusting mouthparts.

Tianming remembered that when Sixth’s vita first fled here, it had possessed a several-hundred-meter-tall bee-head person. Tianming hadn’t even been a cosmic god and had trouble fighting it.

But now, he was over ten thousand meters tall. In front of him, these bee-head people of at most a thousand meters were nothing to look at.

The bee-head people all stared at Tianming in unison and said with Sixth’s vita’s voice, “You’ve grown this fast? Impossible! It’s only been a few hundred years!”

“I told you, live with me and you’ll eat well and live well.” Tianming tapped his head and said, “You two, come out and let your underdeveloped big brother see what a good diet looks like.”

“What big brother? This guy is the third child!” Bai Ye appeared, condensing into a ten-thousand-meter-tall white-mist version of Tianming, sneering.

Bai Ling did the same, his version of Tianming even more solid and imposing.

The bee-head people glared at its two brothers, then sneered. “No matter how fat a house dog is, without claws it’s still just a pet.”

“Then what are you? A wild stray? At least we don’t have to hide in this dump,” Bai Ye said with a laugh.

“Are you stupid? Why compare yourself to it? We’re the boss of Li Tianming. If anything, this brat is our dog,” Bai Ling said coldly.

For the first time, Bai Ye nodded in full agreement. “True.”

“You know what, you two can go back in,” Tianming said, exasperated. Arguing with these two nincompoops would just drag him down to their level.

He turned to the ten-thousand-metres-tall bee-head person. “I’m not here to fight with you this time. I’m here to make peace. I’ve been through a lot recently, and I want to talk things out and give both sides a chance.”

“You truly want to talk to me?” the bee-head people asked with strange expressions.

“Sincerely,” Tianming promised.

“Fine, then come find me. Follow.” The bee-head people turned around, clearly intending to lead the way.

“Where are you taking me?” Tianming asked.

“To the center of the Sea of Aeternity. Do you dare?” Sixth’s vita asked provocatively.

“Why wouldn’t I?” Tianming replied, then followed the group with Zi Zhen as they ascended the Sea of Order.

After a long travel, a massive ocean shaped like a colossal brain appeared overhead. It was the Sea of Aeternity, the brain of the universe!

As soon as they entered the Sea of Aeternity, they experienced an even stronger storm. It was similar to xeno source, a fusion of soul power and something resembling primeval source. It granted the local undying aeternals stronger combat strength and even some a form of soul-based attacks.

This was a world independent of the universe, like a paradise. But this paradise was far from peaceful. A violent, feral temperament filled the air. Just staying here for a short while made one irritable and prone to rage.

“This direction...” Huang Qi couldn’t help speaking again. She said softly, “I know where it’s taking you.”

“Then speak,” Tianming said.

“The Bzzzzt Lake,” Huang Qi said bluntly.

“The Bzzzzt Lake? What kind of weird name is that?” Tianming asked.

“You’ll understand when you get there. It’s prepared quite the big gift for you,” Huang Qi said with a snicker.
