Beastmaster of the Ages

Chapter 3777 - Return Assault

"Transporting twenty million slaves here will take some time. We have to send them into the astral hole batch by batch, so I doubt he'll be able to save every batch," Zhantian Feng said.

"It should be impossible, right?" They had tried to think about all possibilities, but they simply didn't have information about the Primordial God-Emperor or Primordial Chaos Beasts. They would never expect that Tianming would be listening in on their every word.

"Apart from capturing them, the stores of the Middlekin Star Ruins are getting rather full. Our factions can divide the middlekin stars among us!" Xing Can said.

"That’s another reason I made the trip," Zhantian Feng said.

"We'll capture him first, then divide the goods. After getting the Middlekin Star Ruin back in order, we'll leave," Luori Xuanlie said.

"Alright! Then we'll just wait for the slaves from Wargod Haven to arrive." Xing Can turned to Yanri Shuang and said, "Since you made a rare trip out, you should travel around and have some fun!"

"It sounds boring," Yanri Shuang said. "This Middlekin Star Ruin is smaller than I expected, and there's nothing interesting here. I'll return to Starmoon Haven instead."

"You're going back?" Zhantian Feng sounded rather disappointed. Part of his motivation to stay behind and capture Tianming came from the young beauty, though he didn't expect that he would get anywhere with her.

"Yep! I'm just going back to cultivate," Yanri Shuang said. Clearly, Tianming and the purple specter hadn’t piqued her interest in the slightest. With her mind made up, neither Xing Can nor Luori Xuanlie had the right to stop her. As for Zhantian Feng, he couldn't be bothered to say anything about it. All he had wanted was a taste without hoping for too much, since he couldn't afford to demand something like marriage given his status.

"Is Su You going to take the Cosmic God Palace back to Starmoon Haven?" Luori Xuanlie asked. The two ships that had just arrived belonged to him and Xing Can. Normally, geniuses like Yanri Shuang wouldn't be granted their own high-fortuna-class ship, so she had only tagged along.

"Yes. I'll be going back there with her," Yanri Shuang said.

"Very well. It's been rather chaotic lately, so you can help defend the caeli inside the Cosmic God Palace," Xing Can said.

"It'll be a piece of cake!" Yanri Shuang nodded.

"And Li Tianming's ship might also be near. You should try circling around the area to prevent an encounter with him," Luori Xuanlie said.

"It’s really unlikely, though. Even if they meet, that fellow wouldn’t know that Miss Yanri’s on the ship and he might fall for it!" Xing Can said.

"Okay," Yanri Shuang nonchalantly said. She was more worried about running into Long Xing than Tianming. However, it was incredibly unlikely. Starmoon Haven was far too large for a single cosmic god slave to run into her like that.

"Let's go!" She turned around, her hair and skirt twirling behind her in a stunning display.

"What a magnificent beauty! Not bad..." Zhantian Feng praised as he watched her leave. Xing Can and Luori Xuanlie were both stunned.

"Divine Child, you already have so many stunning beauties among the specters of Wargod Haven!" Xing Can said.

"Worry not, gentlemen. I was only admiring her," Zhantian Feng said.

"I see! A beauty the likes of Miss Yanri truly is the shiniest pearl of the Sundown Pantheon!" Xing Can said.

"Haha! Enough of your flattery! All three of our factions have stunning beauties of our own," Luori Xuanlie said.

Zi Zhen stepped onto the mobile stareye within the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb. Yin Chen quickly relayed the conversation to Tianming in the meanwhile, causing him to stop Zi Zhen from leaving. "Wait a second! I almost let you leave!"

"What? I have to go back to the Ancient Oldgod Domain and make sure it's secure. I'm worried something will happen," Zi Zhen said dutifully.

"Help me out with one more thing! There's a huge haul waiting for us and we can act now!" Tianming said, eyes glowing.

"A haul?" Zi Zhen didn't know what he was talking about.

"I've saved everyone from the Middlekin Star Ruin, but there’s two more precious things that we haven't taken yet!" Tianming said with a wink.

"The middlekin stars they have stored... and the Cosmic God Palace?" Zi Zhen guessed. "It can't be. Are they going to send the Cosmic God Palace back to Starmoon Haven before capturing you?"

"Of course. It isn’t like they think I'll know about their movements!" Tianming said. There was no way they could know about the Myriadworld Immortabeast's capabilities.

"The Cosmic God Palace already departed! Let's go! We'll give chase and intercept them at a good spot!" They weren't that far away from Starmoon Haven, so intercepting them midway would be ideal to ensure that reinforcements from both sides would take the longest to arrive.

"Who’ll we be facing off against?" Zi Zhen asked.

"An eighth-level overflower beastmaster!" Tianming said.

"That's hard to deal with, right? Unless I can get angry, but I haven't easily been able to get mad lately," Zi Zhen helplessly said.

"No problem! I'm good at making women mad!" Tianming said.

Zi Zhen was speechless.

"There's one more cool thing," Tianming said.

"What?"

"Her lifebound beast is also a soul type!"

Right as Tianming said that, Bai Ye popped out and said, "What did you say?! I have a wife?! Amazing! Thank you! It's all thanks to you!"

"Shut up," Tianming snapped.

Zi Zhen looked at him and then to Bai Ye. "I suppose I'll risk it this time."

The Cosmic God Palace had a lot of caeli with planet-class orders, and three with galaxy-class orders! The flameyellow descendants, Tianming included, desperately needed those resources. All their lives, the flameyellow descendants had cultivated without caeli to guide them, so getting some would greatly enhance their capabilities. The three galaxy-class orders would also have a huge effect on Tianming, Qingyu, and Wudi. Using caeli to cultivate was still the most stable method.

"I appreciate it. The resources we need the most right now are middlekin stars and caeli!" Tianming said. He had thought that taking down the Three Great Cults would give him what he needed, but he didn't expect that someone from higher up would come and bring such nice gifts with them.

"We still have around twenty million flameyellow descendants to save, eh?" Tianming couldn't hold back his smile. "You think you're sending hostages over, but you're actually sending even more people to power me up! You're handing me the very sword that I'm going to kill you all with!"

The human-head-shaped Cosmic God Palace cruised through the depths of space. Within it were many silver insects that snickered nonstop as they guided Tianming to the ship. Yanri Shuang occupied one of the golden cultivation rooms while Su You piloted the ship, quietly watching the stars pass by.

"I didn't think that so many things would happen during this journey alone. Fortunately, we sent reinforcements in time and managed to secure the Cosmic God Palace! With Miss Yanri traveling with me, our return journey should be safe."

All of a sudden, a nine-headed mechanical dragon appeared in front of the head-shaped ship.
