Beastmaster of the Ages

Chapter 3934 - Cosmic Godbeasts

"It has another huge use? Why aren't I aware of that?" Jiang Datou said.

"Why would you? It's something that concerns only women. It has nothing to do with you," Jiang Xiaobai said, rolling her eyes.

"Nothing to do?" Tianming got rather curious and approached the young cosmic goddess. He whispered, "So, what is it? Tell me!"

"I only heard about it from someone else, alright? I'll have it known that I'm not someone so vain," she said with an odd look.

"Don't worry! You give off the impression of a pure girl who doesn't mess around!" Tianming assured.

"Really?" Jiang Xiaobai seemed rather happy about that comment. Getting closer to his ear, she whispered, "Well, the ninelives fruit can increase the number of middlekin astrons, right? I heard that some girls use it on that specific part to get good results!"

"Which part?"

Jiang Xiaobai tapped on her chest. Tianming didn't know how to react. Did cosmic goddesses care about that? I guess people will be people, no matter what kind of higher lifeform they become. Then again, he wasn't that much different, considering how he had been absolutely smitten by Jiguang for quite some time. It couldn't be helped. Such is the nature of the universal laws. Without the desire to propagate, how would we have legacies? Life would've died out long ago!

Tianming had been troubled over what gift to get Feiling for their reunion, and this seemed like a good idea. I'll definitely need to get some! "Jiang Datou, is that also good for increasing one's cultivation level?"

"Not really." He patted Tianming on his shoulder and said, "Friend, breaking through is the hardest part of cultivation, as well as the most important. There's no such thing as a shortcut, especially not after becoming a cosmic god! Even if something that convenient exists, the Eightpart Pantheons' elites would no doubt monopolize it for themselves."

"I see." Next, Tianming had to wait for Yin Chen to find out more about the ninelives fruit, so there wasn't much that he had to do. He didn't think, however, that Jiang Datou's transmission stone would ring before long.

When he picked it up, the projection of a cosmic god could be seen howling with a shaky voice, "Datou, come save us!"

"Liu Cheng!" Jiang Datou's expression changed rapidly as he made his way rapidly toward Liu Cheng, calling the others to join him. A fight was clearly taking place.

"We collected many ninelives fruits and got targeted! Hurry!" Liu Cheng cried.

"You're a bit far, so hold on!" Jiang Datou yelled. He was going as quickly as he could. Those were his friends from the Primordial Sands who entered the Ninelives Cave earlier. Jiang Datou had planned to meet up with them from the get-go. They didn't think that something would happen not long after their arrival. One could hear a loud bestial roar amidst the sound of combat.

"Who are they fighting?" Jiang Xiaobai asked, calming down.

"The ashuras! They're the servants of the Skyfiendling!" Liu Cheng's transmission stone shattered right after that, cutting the call short.

"Darn! I lost track of them!" Jiang Datou's eyes were bloodshot with rage.

"Big Brother, what do we do? The ashuras have lots of beasts. They might kill them!" Jiang Xiaobai anxiously asked.

"We have no choice! How do we locate them without a transmission stone?!" They had been brothers and friends for so many years.

Right as they were about to languish in helplessness, Tianming said, "I know where they are! Follow me!"

"How do you know?" Both of them froze.

"Don't ask!" Tianming began to zip around like monochrome lightning. "Go as quickly as you can! If not, just stay hidden where you are and I'll come back to look for you!"

According to Yin Chen, the situation was really urgent. Jiang Datou's friends were about to be overwhelmed. Tianming could move much faster than Jiang Datou could, so he decided to rush ahead and see what he could do. "Make sure to look for a mark I'll leave at every junction! That way, you can track me down!"

Tianming sped up as much as he could, leaving the siblings in the dust using Thousandway Blitzrun. Though he was about two hundred meters in height, the caverns were large enough for him to squeeze through relatively tight spaces. The width of these caverns was around ten thousand meters, ignoring the roots that criss-crossed within.

"Two opponents... both ashuras... third-level... cosmic gods!" Yin Chen said.

"Why do you think that I will be able to take them on alone?" Tianming asked. Yin Chen had assured him that it would work out before Tianming made up his mind.

"The ashuras... are weak... as individuals... you are... very fast... if you... suddenly zip... close to... them you... can deal... fatal damage!" Yin Chen said. Being among the more reliable of his beasts, Yin Chen was greatly trusted by Tianming.

"Alright!" Tianming had experience fighting infinite beastmasters back in Ebonia. Within the Upper Star Ruin, beastmasters who didn't have cosmic crest beasts became something similar to infinite beastmasters. No doubt, the ashuras were even stronger in certain aspects! However, their individual fighting skill was probably a huge weakness of their kind, with most of their talent focused on the eyes that grew on their palms.

Unlike the Sundown Pantheon, the divine ashuran race seemed more like masterminds who operated from the shadows and fought from a distance rather than up close. They might've been prepared to face off against Tianming had he been there the whole time, but their guard would be down if he showed up unannounced.

"Even though ashuras are one of the Three Divine Races, their humanoid combat capabilities are relatively weak. Conversely, their beast-taming ability must be rather powerful." Soon, Tianming could hear the booming roars from up ahead. Only waves of beasts could make sounds like that.

"Nova wildbeasts above the maniverse class have undergone a change that makes their bodies mini universes.... That's why they're called cosmic godbeasts. They're much smaller in size, but also much more powerful!"

Tianming charged into the combat zone and saw hundreds of beasts with fierce, glowing eyes, surrounding the primalwingers. The two ashuras, on the other hand, were hidden.

"Yin Chen!" The bugs quickly told him where his targets' main bodies were.
