Beastmaster of the Ages

Chapter 3903 - Battlefield of the Cosmic Scions

The Heavenly Dao manifested once more as eight entities filled with infinite power, spanning the entire universe like a sword of judgment that hung over everyone's heads. These were the all-seeing eyes of justice that spanned countless astral regions!

Everything flowed according to the protocols of the Heavenly Dao. Heavenly Dao Arenas and heavenly punishment protection seeds were merely the tip of the iceberg. Tianming still wasn't qualified to learn about its true power yet.

The moment anyone broke a heavenly oath, they would receive fatal heavenly punishment. Some punishments even affected the entire clan. Yet, Tianming knew that there were limitations to the Heavenly Daos' protection. For instance, even if the seniors of other clans couldn't directly touch someone who obtained an impressive artifact, they could still act on their family, clan, and other aspects of their life to exert influence. At the end of the day, the influence was proportionate to the preciousness of the treasure.

Fortunately, Tianming, Qingyu, and Moran would benefit a lot from having heavenly punishment protection seeds. They quietly waited to see if they would be granted one along with the hundreds of thousands of young geniuses from maniverse-class worlds and their orbiters. All of them, cosmic god or not, looked expectantly at the sky.

"It's here!" Tianming and the rest were at the bottom layer, whereas the maniverse-class geniuses were near the top. They were mostly from the Eightpart Pantheons. Once they obtained their seeds, they immediately descended through the black mirror and vanished. The number of geniuses gradually depleted along with the number of seeds.

The Heavenly Dao seemed to have eyes and prioritized the Eightpart Pantheons for the granting of seeds. The orbiter folks would come later. Sometimes, there would be usurpers who tried to take the seeds from those from orbiter worlds, but that was incredibly rare.

"It's almost our turn!" Qin Feng also wanted to enter the Ancient Flameyellow Ruins. He was even more excited than Tianming when the rainbow seed appeared before him and landed at the center of his brows, sending a rainbow light permeating through his body. "Got it! Yeaaaah!"

When Tianming gave him a look, he calmed down. "They choose who to give this to based on your character. Don't blame me if you don't get one!"

"If I don't get one, you'll die right away," Tianming said.

"Fuck"! Qin Feng's expression stiffened as he began to pray for Tianming. And as if his prayer had worked, a rainbow seed landed on Tianming's head and fused with him. He felt a unique sensation as the same power of heavenly punishment became something he could rely on.

"The Heavenly Dao has always been the power of the flameyellow divinities!" His final ambition in the Upper Star Ruin was to reclaim the Heavenly Dao. On that day, he had finally claimed a seed of it!

"Big Brother, I got it too!" Qingyu cried in elation. Tianming saw that a seed had entered her forehead as well.

"Then only Little Fish is left." Tianming looked somewhat nervously at the sky. Moran was far too important to him. If Qingyu hadn't gotten the seed, he could send her back to the Sun and have her cultivate there. But Moran would be a huge help to him in such an environment.

The number of seeds continued to dwindle. Moran held Tianming's much larger hand and smiled. "It'll be fine. Don't worry."

Yet, things went on as they feared. The heavenly punishment protection seeds ran out completely. Only around ten thousand young cultivators didn't get them. Even though Moran was a wonderian, she didn't seem to have been recognized by the Heavenly Dao, which was rather odd.

Tianming looked at her and gently said, "Since that's the case, I'll send you back to the Sun."

She shook her head. "I won't go back."

Tianming looked down at the black mirror, somewhat surprised. "Don't mess around. It's far too risky."

"You'll be at risk too if I'm not there." All the seeds were good for was preventing those above the age of five hundred from touching them. However, there were many maniverse-class geniuses under the age of five hundred there with them, some of whom were even cosmic gods who could pose a real threat to Tianming's life.

"Are you sure you want to come?" Tianming understood how stubborn she was. Once she made up her mind, there was no changing it.

"I'm sure! I trust you. I'll protect you for now, but the time for you to protect me will come later. How nice would that be?" she said somewhat excitedly.

"Alright, that's a promise!" Indeed, with Moran around, Tianming's journey would be far more relaxing. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to deal with even quasi-cosmic gods like the Donglis, not without his omnisentient power.

"Alright, let's go." Qingyu gave Moran another look, thinking how fortunate her brother was to have yet another woman who would be willing to risk her life for him.

"You'll be targeted if you don't have a heavenly punishment protection seed. It'll be really dangerous if you end up offending any from the Eightpart Pantheons!" Qin Feng warned.

"If we do, we can just kill them!" Tianming said.

"But far too many people there have tracking rings. The seniors outside can track their movements and even know what's happening around them. The seniors out there will remember you before you even make the kill."

"Do you have a tracking ring?"

"No. All I am is the son of a cosmic god. Why would I need something like that? Anyone with a tracking ring has at least a few cosmic gods backing them. After all, the corrosive flameyellow void essence in here is so powerful that normal tracking rings wouldn't be able to hold up to it. At the very least, you'll need a low-imperial-class one." It truly was a luxury to have a simple recording artifact of the low imperial class.

"Alright." Tianming made a mental note to be more wary of those with tracking rings. Either way, he would have a huge crutch in the form of Yin Chen.

They sank into the ruins as they talked. Tianming pondered the tracking rings and recalled that Zi Zhen had asked him to take his purple mask with him.

"What is it?" Qin Feng said. When Tianming put on the eerie mask, it was as if he had turned into a different person.

"You should not ask about anything concerning me too much," Tianming coldly said. Right just then, a loud howl could be heard in the distance.

"Qin Feng!" Two powerful divine wonders shot toward them out of nowhere.
