Beastmaster of the Ages

Chapter 3904 - Saturatia Orbiter Alliance

"My master is here! Quick, let's go!" Qin Feng cried.

"What are you worried about?" Tianming pulled Qingyu in one hand and Moran in the other as he had sunk halfway through the mirror. The girls were completely submerged, so only Tianming in his masked form and Qin Feng were visible. Right before the divine wonder made it, the Heavenly Dao Formation up above rumbled, causing Tianming's seed to glow.

"Heavenly punishment!" Quite a number of people were shocked by the sight of heavenly punishment right at the start of the event. At that instant, the divine wonders finally demanifested. The pale cosmic god was so shocked that he almost turned incontinent.

"A heavenly punishment protection seed!" The sacred lord split into his male and female forms, glaring at the masked man. They didn't know that the one who took their Worldgazer Skyeye was the very same person who killed their children!

"Master!" Qin Feng's expression was filled with despair.

Tianming returned the sacred lord's gaze and pulled Qin Feng down with him.

"Halt!" The sacred lord howled, but didn't dare to move. Such was the power of the seed! The sacred lord still didn't know anything about Tianming, even after seeing him in the flesh, and could only rampage in anger.

"The Heavenly Dao Arena is going to push its way down!" Cheers could be heard all around as the rainbow-colored formation projected a gigantic pillar of light that tunneled into the right flank of the black mirror, infusing it with the power of the Heavenly Dao that constructed a grand arena within the lower layers of the Ancient Flameyellow Ruins.

Tianming watched as the pillar of light surrounded everything. Everything he could see pulsed with the power of the Heavenly Dao, which would protect everyone with a seed.

"The Ancient Flameyellow Ruins in the Ancestral World...." He looked down toward the odd world beneath, which seemed to be a place covered in black and gold sludge. He picked some of it up and found that the sludge was actually a kind of energy source that wasn't quite nova source nor xeno source.

Tianming had seen nova source so dense that it was in the form of water; however, he hadn't seen any kind of energy source being so dense that it was as thick as mud, even in the Ancestral World. Even though the muddy substance seemed relatively harmless, it damaged the skin and flesh upon contact.

Tianming and Qingyu would fare rather well against that thanks to having beastlike bodies from symbiotic cultivation, but Moran's body was that of a normal human and was thus more susceptible to the corrosive effects of flameyellow void essence. She used her own divine wonder to keep them off her body. As for the cosmic god essences, they were kept in her spatial ring for when she really needed them. She and Qingyu were both under the ninth level, so they were not supposed to be there.

"Flameyellow void essence...." This was the first time Tianming heard the word 'void' used in tandem with 'flameyellow.' "It does feel rather off."

The first thing he did after entering was to send Yin Chens out. Yin Chen transformed into its kuimont-bug form right after seeing the sludge around them, burrowing into it with its screw-like body.

"So dirty! Oh my! I'm dying!" Yin Chen almost broke down mentally when the sludge touched its bodies. It was nothing short of torture, especially when it was so corrosive. There was no way a clean freak like it would be able to hold it.

"Oh no! Fifth got so dirty that it became a little wuss!" Lan Huang said as large swathes of Yin Chen ran into the lifebound space.

"Wait, what are you doing?" Tianming asked.

"It's far... too dirty!"

"You little.... Go out there!" Tianming grabbed a handful of bugs and said, "Everyone's counting on you! If you're not out there, we'd be completely clueless as to where to go!"

"No way!"

"Find a way!" Then, Tianming had a spark of inspiration and had Lan Huang emerge from his leg. "I will allow your bodies to come to bathe on Lan Huang's belly in shifts!"

"That's fine by me!" Lan Huang excitedly turned into its two-headed dragon form and almost flattened Tianming. It then started running wild in the mud.

"Lan Huang, you're a dragon, not a pangolin! Why are you so excited?" Ying Huo said, facepalming.

The nine kui seas on Lan Huang's belly began to rotate wildly, polishing up the Yin Chens to a shine. Since it was allowed to bathe, it begrudgingly agreed to Tianming's request. But when he noticed that the Yin Chens didn't go that far before they turned back for a bath, Tianming knew that its efficiency was heavily reduced.

"Darn it... I just can't stand these odd quirks of theirs." Tianming felt like a babysitter for these Primordial Chaos Critters. They each had their own weird quirks and personalities, which had to be catered for individually. Even now, the two soul beasts in his brain were fighting. One was a brute, while the other was witty, yet they constantly fought without end.

"Forget it. We'll take this slow." Seeing the muddy abyss ahead, he told Yin Chen, "Prioritize looking for Feng, but still tell me if you see anything interesting."

The only reply he got was from the kuimont bugs that were on the way back. "Bathing time!"

They rushed toward Lan Huang's belly time and again. Even though they would get dirty right away, they still enjoyed bathing for its own sake. Tianming facepalmed at the sight of that.

Qin Feng wondered what those lifebound beasts were all about. They didn't seem like cosmic crest beasts, but there was something odd about them.

They continued their descent until Qin Feng's transmission stone lit up again. He picked up the call and saw the projection of an incredibly beautiful and wise cosmic goddess on the other end. Like a hungry dog with its tongue out, he greeted, "Sister Yuan Long!"

"Feng, are you inside already? I'll look for you using the transmission stone," she said.

"Umm...." Qin Feng looked at Tianming.

"Who is that?" Tianming asked.

"The leader of the Saturatia Orbiter Alliance, Yuan Long," Qin Feng dutifully said. It sounded like an alliance of orbiter worlds from Saturatia-49.

"What's your relationship to the alliance?"

"We are of the same mind!" The alliance had been clearly created for the benefit of the weaker ones here to push back somewhat against the powerful influence of the Saturatia-49 wonderians.

"Alright. Let her come." It was indeed possible for transmission stones to track each other down as long as they were not too far apart and connected by a call.
