Beastmaster of the Ages

Chapter 4120 - Thirty Million Essences

The Sun finally arrived in the Primordial Sands, leaving its passengers still reeling from the amazing astral journey. Tianming left his yet-unborn daughter within the Sky Palace Formation before leaving with the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb, now an imperial-class vessel that was unmatched by any enemy craft. It left the Sun's defensive formation, rising through the boundless flames into the dark depths of the astralscape.

In front of its nine heads was a gray-pink Nirvana prison and the gold crystal star within, which Tianming couldn't take his eyes off.

"I remember during your first Nirvana Rebirth within the Xenoworld and the core of the Divine Moon Realm, we were fighting side by side. This time around, it's my turn to protect you during your tribulation. Ling'er..." Countless scenes flashed across his mind as he looked at the star. All he could do was wait like the previous two times and hope she would be able to make it through.

"Leave everything out here to me!" This resolve burned strongly within him. Without idling, he immediately scattered Yin Chens around the area between the Sun and Grand Jiang, allowing its countless bodies to float around in space, split into three groups.

One group would monitor the empty space between the two worlds, spreading out farther and wider until Tianming could see everything. In time, his surveillance over the Primordial Sands would only grow. The second group entered Grand Jiang. Coupled with the Yin Chens that he had already released last time, it wouldn't take long before the whole world fell under complete surveillance. The third group attached themselves to passing astralships, spreading to many more maniverse and fortuna-class worlds in the Primordial Sands.

He would need Yin Chen to form a wide network to catch everything within the Primordial Sands. Those that were already in Grand Jiang had been busy gathering information about the primalwingers in the meantime.

"The Tian Jiu Cult's astral armada will arrive within one month..." Tianming looked in the direction they would come in. He would have some time yet to prepare. "And the reinforcements from the other five maniverse-class worlds have arrived earlier, huh?"

Tianming had a rough idea about their movements thanks to Yin Chen. "Keep studying their movements."

"Already doing... it buddy." When Yin Chen was in work mode, it acted like a frantic madman. Countless invisible cockroaches scurried about in messy fashion with everyone in the Primordial Sands ignorant that they were living amidst a sea of metal insects from which they could keep no secret.

Yin Chen, however, couldn't be bothered with secrets and only focused on information that was useful to it. As it sped up its information gathering, Tianming's transmission stone suddenly lit up. It was a call from Mushan Xue. "What is it?"

"My brother focused on fighting the wonderians first. Most of them in the upper ruins have been killed and we have around thirty million essences. Do you want to come over?" Mushan Xue asked.

"Thirty million? It's already almost over?" Tianming was rather shocked at their efficiency. They had finished dealing with the wonderians of the Ten Desolate Starforges within the few short months that the Sun was traveling. The wonderians numbered more than twenty million pairs, meaning that there were close to fifty million of them combined if they were all wiped out. The fact that the flameyellow voidkin could give him thirty million of that showed their sincerity. Mushan Xue even said that her brother had decided to make the wonderians a higher priority.

Tianming had no idea how much Moran would change with thirty million essences. That was what made Tian Jiu such a terrifying being. The Saturatia Dreamlord was stronger than even Dreammaster Siming, but they would be completely outnumbered. He couldn't imagine how having more than thirty million divine wonders in one's body would affect Moran. All he knew was that Tian Jiu, after swallowing up the wonderians, would be many times stronger than the Tian Jiu from Grand Xia Voidback Nation thanks to the countless generations of wonderian effort in procreation.

"How about it? Will you take her to the Ancestral Void Realm to absorb them?" Mushan Xue asked because she wasn't too sure what Tianming's goal in the Primordial Sands was.

After some pondering, he asked, "Is your brother willing to let me bring the essences to the Primordial Sands? Tell him that I've already moved the imperial star here."

"Using the Flameyellow Divine Path?" Mushan Xue's eyes shook with understanding and anticipation. "Let me ask my brother."

After a while, she called back and asked, "Thirty million essences is not a small amount. Do you have an astralship?"

"I do."

"Then come to the entrance of the Ancestral Void Realm. My brother said he would talk to you personally about it."

"Really? Sure." The entrance was quite near Grand Jiang, so it wouldn't take a few days to travel there. Tianming left Yin Chen to its task and piloted the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb there. The ship was massive, but it was still a mere fish in the vast sea. As it traveled, it didn't leave any significant traces to be detected.

Soon, Tianming was near the entrance. The flameyellow voidkin didn't shut off the entrance completely and instead left a small opening there, guarded by sentries. It was convenient for relaying information and contacting Tianming. He could already see Mushan Xue standing at the entrance, still somewhat taller than him.

The moment she spotted the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb, her deep-blue eyes widened in disbelief. "So, this is the legendary Ninedragon of legend..."

"That's right."

She sent someone in to notify the rest and circled around the ship. After a long inspection, she looked at Tianming enviously and asked, "Imperial class?"
