Beastmaster of the Ages

"There’s honesty in her eyes. That’s a girl who’s willing to do anything for you," Feiling said.

"That’s fifty girls to be precise." Tianming cleared his throat and laughed out loud.

Feiling snorted, "What’s so funny!"

A part of Yin Chen transformed into eight-starred ladybugs and flew away. There were about ten million of it. Some flew out into the cosmos, gradually enveloping the entire nova source. Another part of Yin Chen turned into its new form, the jellyfish, and entered the blue nova source, searching for possible opponents amid the powerful current.

"Leave this to Yin Chen. Let\'s get ready."

"Okay!"

Tianming waited in the blue storm. His current team had the perfect support, which was Feiling; the guide, beastmaster Xiaoxiao; and the divine wonder freak with unlimited potential, Weisheng Moran.

......

After about three days, Yin Chen gave its reply. There was only a group of people on the east side of the outer part and top layer of the inner part of the nova source. There was basically no one in the other parts. At least there wasn’t a large number of people there, though Yin Chen hadn’t explored the inner core. Tianming was afraid to go too deep because of the terrifying nova source storm. With Yin Chen, collecting information and having eyes on the nova source wasn’t a problem at all. After communicating with it, Tianming informed Feiling and the others.

"This group of people came with a hundred divine astralships, five of which are skypiercer class, while the rest are heliacal class. Their largest astralship can’t compare to the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb, much less the Eye of the Blood Abyss. If we estimate their strength from their astralships, their strongest man is still weaker than Little Fish." That was the tentative conclusion. For more specific information, he needed Yin Chen to venture deeper to learn more.

"So we still have a chance?" Feiling asked.

"Yes!" Tianming solemnly said. He wouldn’t give up such a treasure if they were strong enough to rob their opponents.

"I\'ll wait for Yin Chen to determine their exact numbers. With a hundred divine astralships, there could be billions of them. It’ll be hard to drive them away if there’s too many people," Tianming said.

After a few hours, Yin Chen sent back a new message.

"There’s a hundred astralships and a total of a million people, most of them solarians. According to Yin Chen, there may be about a hundred first- or second-level sovereigns." Tianming could defeat the Wonderhaze Suzerain on the sun, and Weisheng Moran had inherited his divine wonder. A hundred low-level sovereigns were probably nothing to worry about. And although a million solarians was considered a considerable number, they couldn’t threaten the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb.

"What if we drive them away, quickly move the sun over to absorb the nova source, then flee?" Feiling asked.

"That’ll work." Turning the tomb in a different direction, Tianming said, "These people should have gathered for a meeting to report the progress of the transportation formation. They’ll probably go their separate ways and spread out over the surface of the nova source in a few days. By then, it’ll be very troublesome to drive them all away. Let’s meet them while they’re all together.… Of course, we can pretend we\'re just passing by, got it?"

"Yes!" The girls nodded.

Yin Chen was eavesdropping, so the information it could obtain was limited. Tianming had to be there for more details. However, with just the basic information Yin Chen had brought back, Tianming had a rough idea of the situation. He didn’t think this group of people were too strong; although it wouldn’t be a small battle, it was still acceptable.

"This is to be expected. After all, it\'s merely a nova source five times that of a helical-class world. The mysterians sent two thousand star astralships for Skyway Quadstar.” How could a nova source be as valuable as Skyway Quadstar? With that information, Tianming knew enough about the situation. Steering the tomb through the blue storm, he headed to the other side of the nova source. "The transportation formation is quite fragile, so the tomb should be able to break through it. They must be very confident in the forces behind them if they intend to transport it away. On the plus side, I don\'t have to worry about my identity in this part of the cosmos. To these people, I’m just a random person that appeared out of thin air."

Nine colorful dragons swam across the blue sea, roaring into the sky. Along the way, Yin Chen provided Tianming with new information; it had sneaked into their midst. At this time, Ji Ji surprised Tianming. "It doesn’t have to be so complicated. After you drive these people away, I can merge with this nova source and move it to the sun."

"You can do that?"

Tianming had to admit that Ji Ji and Yin Chen were perfect for nova source wars. The only reason he had to drive the current people away was to protect the sun. Otherwise, the sun would be exposed if they were to follow them. He felt more confident with Ji Ji’s assurance and the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb broke through the blue ocean. In the starry sky ahead, a group of astralships came into view.

"Damn, they’re shaped like swords!" All hundred astralships resembled bright swords lying horizontally among the stars, arranged in a sword formation. A hundred swords floated in mid-air. The moment he laid eyes on them, Tianming suddenly pictured a hundred swords piercing the tomb.

"Their starships are designed as swords. They must be sharp and fierce!" All astralships, whether heliacal or skypiercer class, were made from the same mold, which meant mass production. Being able to mass-produce astralships was also an indication of a profound background.

"I wonder how they compare to the mysterians." Tianming was filled with curiosity and eagerness for the forces in this new world. He used a sword himself, and was rather fond of these sword-shaped astralships. But fondness was one thing, and the unowned nova source was an entirely different matter. He would still fight for it.

The Ninedragon Imperial Tomb approached the astralships. At the very least, the tomb was still larger than the opponent\'s biggest sword. The other party quickly reacted after discovering the existence of the tomb. In just a moment, the tips of the giant swords were pointed at the tomb.

Tianming swept his gaze across and found a huge word on each astralship: “Infinitum”.

"Infinitum? Meaning never-ending?"

Despite their warning, the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb continued its approach. The other party used their divine astralship formation to amplify their voice. “Stop! Who goes there? This is the unowned nova source discovered by the Infinitum Bodhimanda. It’s about to be transported to the Infinitum Mundus. Unauthorized personnel are not allowed to approach!"
