Beastmaster of the Ages

g more cultivation progress.
The stronger they grew, the better their chances would be.

It had been four months since Tianming had been defeated by Crimsonjade Cang and his fans were about to cry.
The ones in the Mysterium Cluster also had their eyes peeled for Tianming, even though he didn ’t show up.
Eventually, people began mocking him for being so audacious only to end up hiding himself away.
The faceless specters declared that Tianming had been traumatized after his defeat by Crimsonjade Cang and no longer dared to even step in the Astraldome.

It was also said that all five members of Celestial Beings had gone to the Bloodbath Arena to wait for Tianming, but he was a no-show.
Eventually, the audience began losing steam again.
The Omnisentient Threads in Violetglory also began declining in number, losing more than ten million in four months, once more proving that faith gained from bringing glory paled in comparison to that of bringing salvation.
The Violetglory Star was a calculative place like that, even when it came to the reward system there.

……

Two months had passed since the appearance of the star map, making it six months since Tianming had shown up at the Bloodbath Arena and over a year since he’d come to the Violetglory Star.
The mysterians ’ ships should have set sail eight months ago, and would be nearing half of their whole journey.
Tianming could feel the danger mounting despite the amount of time he had left.

Cultivating at the Solar stage was much harder.
His breakthrough wasn’t that hard, and he did it without consuming caeli or pills, but making progress was a different story.
It wasn ’t that out of the ordinary, however.
Even those in the Celestial Beings, with all their talent, took years to make a single breakthrough, especially after the fifth level.
As one inched closer to the capabilities of a sovereign, the difficulty would multiply.
That was why even if those in the Celestial Beings were able to reach the fifth level and above by thirty, they might not become precentennial paragons.

Once past the age of thirty, one would be past the greatest growth spurt.
Progress would start slowing and gradually worsening with age.
With a slowing rate of improvement and rising difficulty, leveling up became exponentially harder.
Cultivating was like climbing up a slope that got steeper and steeper the higher one went.
And the older one grew, the less stamina they would have.
It would already be pretty decent if an old person could stop and stay at that point of the slope instead of falling off or rolling backward.

Tianming was still in his prime, not to mention, as long as his talent continued to rise, he would always be young.
Even then, he felt the burn of climbing the Solar stage.
Lingfeng and Xiaoxiao also felt it, despite having the advantage of cultivating by consuming.
Lingfeng ’s Primordial Gate seemed a little unable to process all those waste pills.
Xiaoxiao kept stubbornly forcing growth as well, despite Tianming asking her to slow down.

Since Tianming had obtained his third regal soul, he kept training at the Imperius Ruins.
He kept it up for around half a year even after he mastered the Saintdragon Annihilation.
He had seen so many caeli during his time there, helping his Lifesbane Will catch up to his Imperial Will.
His cyclic constellation eventually became a cyclic sacrosun.
Unlike the imperial star above the Grand-Orient Sword, the cyclic sacrosun was actually a black-and-white vortex formed from many smaller black-and-white stars.
They spun around in a vortex shaped like a yin-yang diagram.
When manifested, a sea of monochrome stars appeared around him, representing the profundity of the cycle.
Coupled with his pandemonium sacrosun, they made for quite a perfect combination, with the sea of stars cycling around the imperial star in the middle.

”I ’m finally at the second level. ” Fresh astralforce surged within his albi, bringing his strength to a whole new level.
The formation of both sacrosuns made his will even more firm and he glowed like an ancient deity.
The five types of astralforce within his body blended together with the seven types of grade-eight sword ki, bringing his radiance to a whole new level.
The seventh strand he assimilated was similar to the Frozen Glasstree, also being a treelike sword ki cluster.

It was called the Kilodragon Tree, and Tianming had been shocked by its majesty upon seeing it.
Its branches and twigs looked like dragons, making the whole thing look like a gigantic draconic hydra.
Every leaf was a white dragon scale, and its vines looked like the whiskers of dragons.
The flowers of the tree looked like dragon eyes as well.
It was a miracle of the universe for something like this to be able to naturally form.
Out of all of his sword ki strands, this one seemed the strongest and was really close to a grade-nine sword ki strand.
It was also suited to the Saintdragon Annihilation.
Now he had a matching strand of sword ki for each move in his arsenal.
Coupled with his totems, the Ninedragon Tribulation moveset rose to a whole new level.

”If the two sacrosuns can properly manifest in the wondersky realm, it’d be impressive. ” He was filled with confidence in his upcoming fights.
Having been absent from the Astraldome for so long, he couldn ’t wait to start challenging people again.
