Chapter 3012 - Galactic Starbeast

Li Fan had warned him against sending trillions of Yin Chens all over Myriadpath Valley, but using it on a smaller scale for a single battle like this should be fine. He sent out ten million invisible cockroaches to help him find suitable prey. Once he cleared the Skyward Grandpath, he could have them self-destruct without even having to reclaim them.

"Ji Ji, how’re you feeling?" Tianming asked.

"This midsky essence is pretty good. It's more than seven parts nova source, which makes it good for converting into genesis ancestral nova source," said the pink-haired, pink-eyed girl in his lifebound space. The spiritform sat above a gigantic pink star that was larger than before it had self-destructed, pulsing with genesis ancestral nova source.

Ji Ji had awakened after four months and was busy absorbing midsky essence to recover its power. It hadn't imagined that so much would change when it was out cold; four of its siblings had become one with Tianming. "My genesis ancestral nova source is stronger than it was before."

Tianming had hesitated about letting Ji Ji try evolving with 999-aperture ordered manna. At the very end, he gave up on it. The only reason Yin Chen had succeeded was because it had many bodies, but the same didn't apply to Ji Ji. Not to mention, he wasn't desperate enough to need a huge boost, so there was no reward that matched the risk.

Even if Ji Ji didn't evolve, its genesis ancestral nova source could still be infused into his body to fuel Ying Huo and the rest. As for Tianming himself, he already shared Ji Ji's genesis ancestral nova source, thanks to symbiotic cultivation. In one sense, everything that Ji Ji had was also his. Since the loss of his omnisentient power, Ji Ji's energy had become his biggest source of might, especially since it was channeled directly into his body.

"Even though I only have one cosmic chart, my beasts and totems are all in a single body. I'm sure that makes me comparable to sixth-level cosmic cartographers. Coupled with other things in my arsenal and how unique my lifebound beasts are, I’ll probably have no issues facing eighth-level cosmic cartographers, either." Tianming could fight seven levels above his own!

"However, those that come to Myriadpath Valley are all superior to Li Fan and Lin Ke. They're all top geniuses of their respective mundi, so they can definitely fight above their levels as well. The geniuses from Myriadpath Valley's internal factions, especially, must be able to measure up against all of them. I probably won't have that much of an edge over them. Facing sixth-level cosmic cartographers here might be my limit."

The geniuses of Myriadpath Valley wouldn't be so easily defeated. Even then, that was still a staggering number of levels.

"I still benefit greatly from the unique power of Primordial Chaos Beasts. Ying Huo and the other three are in my body, and Ji Ji's energy will power all of us up. It's best that I don't manifest my cosmic chart, then. Even though I'll lose some ability to suppress others' order, it won't be obvious that I'm only a first-level cosmic cartographer."

Given how far he was from the Foundation stage, it would be best to hide it. Tianming was fully aware of his place, even though he had defeated foundationeers back on the Sun. He wouldn't let those temporary past glories get to his head. "Omnisentient power is convenient for desperate survival, but it isn’t something I should get used to having. My own cultivation is even more important."

He continued advancing with the Prime Starchain in one hand. The chain of linked Prime Towers made for quite an effective combination with Meow Meow and Ying Huo's abilities. Soon, Yin Chen found him prey. There was a high-sanctuary-class wildbeast comparable to peak-level orderans of the twelfth astral phase. It was worth ninety-three points. Needless to say, Tianming killed it with one whip of the chain. Those kinds of wildbeasts were nothing but fodder, and encountering them required luck.

"Let's keep looking." The more spread out Yin Chen was, the more effective the search would be. Tianming knew that people would definitely be watching the battle, so he didn't want to openly use his sky plunderer abilities. As such, he held off on breaking formations to get points. As for fighting other participants, it wasn't worth considering yet, since most people didn't have many points during the start.

It was quite an easy process. Tianming took it at a leisurely pace. Soon, three days passed, and he had amassed around two thousand points by hunting wildbeasts alone. His rank was seventy-third, but among outer mundi disciples, he ranked third. It wasn't comparable to any of the inner valley disciples, but it still counted for something, assuming he kept his ranking.

"Some people have begun engaging other participants and the ranking will start changing even quicker. If I'm too slow, I can still be forced out." Tianming let out even more Yin Chens to help with prey searching. He would advance by making steady steps nonstop. Soon, Yin Chen sent word that it found a mid-ether-class wildbeast worth more than a thousand points. If Tianming took it out, he would have close to four thousand!

"With that, I should be able to get into the top fifty and become the highest-ranked black name." That would ensure his entry into Myriadpath Valley. In fact, with his capabilities, he was probably among the top five strongest participants, easily making him number one among everyone under five hundred years old from millions of outer mundi. If he was measuring up against those of his actual age, he might be the strongest in all of the astralscape of order! That was no laughing matter and was also where he derived his confidence.

He rapidly headed toward his prey with Yin Chen guiding him. With Xian Xian and Lan Huang as his legs, he had gained even more explosive speed and power, allowing him to cover great distances with Primordial-Chaos-Beast-powered leaps. Soon, he spotted his target: a mid-ether-class galactic starbeast.
