Beastmaster of the Ages

Chapter 4068 - Descending to the Ninefold Hellstar

Through the black mirror, they once more returned to the Lower Star Ruins near Bluemaple. Qingyu hadn't left the Ancestral World for a long time and found the normal nova source rather unfamiliar.

"The Lower Star Ruins are starting to seem more and more uninhabitable for us...." Wherever they crossed, space itself seemed to fracture. It was almost as if they were stepping on a thin layer of ice, causing cracks as they moved about. They were destroying the environment without even meaning to. Tianming found that he couldn't quite approach Bluemaple either. He felt that he could extinguish this infinitum-class world with a single finger. "It seems that fortuna-class worlds and infinitum-class worlds are completely incomparable."

The four of them traveled to the Sun using the Myriadpath Celestial Formation. The Tianming Dynasty was incredibly stable and thriving as a state with well-established laws and a prosperous populace that stood a fair chance of being promoted by merit. Many people had graduated from Tianmingopolis to serve in the Sun.

Tianming's family and friends, such as Jiang Qingluan and the rest from the Vermillion Bird Kingdom, were living on the Sun and enjoying fortuna-class resources there. Even though they started off relatively weak, with enough resources, they would eventually be able to reach cosmic godhood as well. Tianming looked forward to the day when his grandfather, Wei Tiancheng, would become a cosmic god with tens of thousands of years to live. Wei Tiancheng found this all too exhilarating. Despite being around three hundred years old, he got younger and more vigorous with each breakthrough. Though he still acted like an old man, his vitality was improving nonstop.

"And this is why I keep cultivating!" Tianming felt rather warm every time he saw his optimistic grandfather. This was the purpose of gaining more strength! So that his family, friends, and loved ones would be protected and prosper! Time and again, he kept proving his value.

"Dad!"

"Daughter!"

Wudi and Qingyu hadn't seen each other for a long time, yet all they did was give each other a hug. After that, Qingyu pushed her dad away and couldn't bring herself to care anymore.

Most of the little ancestralbeasts had been transferred to the Sun, which was Qingyu's chance to grow. Zi Zhen could also benefit from it. As for Moran, Tianming no longer needed to worry if the deal with the flameyellow voidkin went through. She didn't need to gain any insight to cultivate at all since the wonderians were already doing it for her. Tianming only had one thing in mind after returning from the Fiend Ruins: The Ninefold Hellstar.

"I've kept you waiting, Eighth." He felt the omnisentient threads from the Upper Star Ruin as he floated in the sky. "It's tripled since the last time!"

This was the result of his slaughtering of more than a hundred thousand young geniuses. The omnisentient threads looked like dragons of black and gold, forming an invisible high-speed network that spanned galaxies, all connected to Tianming. As he channeled the energy within him, he glowed as bright as the Sun, a fortuna-class world! What kind of power did he possess?

"I have to test it out on someone!" Zi Zhen and Moran were unable to keep up with his power in the Upper Star Ruin. Since he could come and go undetected if he traveled alone, that made it rather convenient. He waved his countless subjects goodbye when he left the Flameyellow Guard Formation. Everyone there was filled with blinding faith toward him.

Tianming didn't even use the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb. Instead, he commandeered a random astralship that could use the wormhole expressway. With Bai Ling and Bai Ye, assuming control over some cosmic gods was no difficult task. As for overflowers and below, they could just as easily be completely dominated.

"The omnisentient power I have now is around eighty percent of the full capacity that the Ten Desolate Starforges can provide. That should be around ten percent of the entire Upper Star Ruin!" Tianming had already obtained the full faith of all the flameyellow descendants in the Ten Desolate Starforges, but there was still much room to grow.

"Ten percent of the Upper Star Ruin is a scary number...." It was almost ridiculous. He felt as if he could crush the astralship he was in into powder. Even though his body didn't grow in size, his combat capability absolutely exploded.

"I'm here!" Tianming emerged into space and saw nothing. However, he could sense the smell of darkness around him.

"I've wanted to come to the Ninefold Hellstar for a while now." He left the ship and flew past the cloaking formation and finally saw the massive world beneath. Its astralguard formation was not active since keeping it on would require large amounts of nova source. Due to their absolute domination, the worlds of the Eightpart Pantheons had never needed to use their astralguard formations for countless generations. None of the internal factions bothered to fight under the absolutely fair distribution of the Heavenly Dao.

The world appeared to be covered in frosty blackness. It was incredibly vast, like a black abyss, swallowing all light around it. It was around three hundred times the size of Ebonia, which Tianming recalled was so massive he struggled to see its complete form when he first reached it. It was so massive that it looked like a flat plane. It took him months to even land on Ebonia, yet the Ninefold Hellstar was three hundred times the size.

However, it appeared smaller to him than Ebonia did due to the size of his current body. Compared to his sub-two-meter former self, he was four hundred and fifty times his former size, standing nine hundred meters tall.

"Then again, Ebonia has a population of a hundred trillion, while the Ninefold Hellstar only has a hundred million, all cosmic gods. Every single cosmic god no doubt has more than enough space for their own purposes. Even though I'm around nine hundred meters tall now, I'm still a speck of dust compared to their world. It's rather unlikely that they'll detect me."

The orbiters of approximately Ebonia's size had far more people living in them. Tianming descended toward the world as he marveled at the sight. After passing through the layer of black, stormy clouds, he wasn't in a rush to descend. Instead, he circled the world and spread Yin Chens all over the place. The largest cities in maniverse-class world are universe cities, followed by mound cities. Tianming focused the scattering in those areas.

"It'll take about a month for Yin Chen to gain full surveillance over the cities. By then...." He found a quiet place to rest while he waited for the time to strike. Stroking the gray coffin, he smiled like a fiend that had found a world to doom.
