Beastmaster of the Ages

Chapter 2016

Chapter 2016 – Flameyellow Cores

Tianming felt like he had become a gigantic beast that blocked out the sun. Because of his expansion in size, the entire sun seemed to shrink in his eyes.

“Have I become the tomb?!" He was shocked. It was as if his body was now the tomb. He could see everything the tomb saw and could control the nine dragon heads, claws, and tail with just his thoughts. He could twist its body as well as control the supply of nova source. Now that the tomb was flying in the sky, it felt like he was up in the air.

"It's amazing!" Tianming knew that it was impossible for him to have truly become the astralship. "This should be a more advanced method of control caused by a complete integration with the astralship’s core! I don’t have to use the traditional form of steering, but can transform into the tomb and use my body to control it!" It felt better than amazing.

When his body became the astralship, the flexibility of operating it was greatly increased. Although he couldn’t get used to his limbs turning into the heads, it wouldn’t be a problem after some practice. "When I encounter other astralships next time, it’ll be just like taking a bite and tearing them apart myself. That’s awesome!”

As expected, the transformation wasn’t at all a letdown. He could check the star map whenever he wanted, as well as better control the tomb’s acceleration. That was merely one of the changes! More importantly, the nine palaces, like the Imperialdragon Palace, had all transformed into formations to store miniaturized nova sources. The Ninedragon Imperial Tomb would be able to store nova source fifteen times that of the Kilostar Capital.

"That's just as good as a skypiercer-class world!" Originally, the Divine Sun Palace could store twice as much nova source as the Kilostar Capital, while the Ninedragon Imperial Tomb could store three times as much. The Starvore on its own was capable of storing five times as much nova source as the Kilostar Capital, and while each palace in the current Ninedragon Imperial Tomb differed in size from each other, when they were all added together, they could store fifteen times the nova source of the Kilostar Capital!

"Fifteen times! The difference isn’t just in the storage capacity, but it’s also an upgrade in the short-term release, which means there’s a fivefold increase in the tomb’s power! If I had this before, the Starvore would be nothing to be afraid of. I could destroy it with one blow!” He couldn't wait to go back to the Sky Palace and fill up the tomb. "And the Skypiercer class is definitely not the tomb’s limit! It must have deeper secrets, perhaps the Flameyellow Fusion Formation’s core!" It was the essence of the tomb.

"Where could it be?" With just a thought, Tianming searched the entire tomb. This tomb was no different from his body, so he would know almost immediately if there was anything special. "Nine palaces and nine formation cores." Tianming could see it. In the center of the nine palaces was a new formation core. The center of the Imperialdragon Palace was most conspicuous, with the largest formation core that was surrounded by the miniaturized nova source.

"They’re all Flameyellow Cores!" Tianming had once integrated the solar core. With that experience in mind, he knew that once these cores were integrated, the entire sun would truly belong to him, just like an extension of his body. "As I continue to integrate the Flameyellow Cores, it’s very likely that both the Flameyellow Fusion Formation and Ninedragon Imperial Tomb will continue to upgrade and eventually return to the level of an imperial-class world. In fact, there should be quite a few formation cores in the Flameyellow Coffin. Maybe the sun emperor wasn’t able to reveal its full power! After all, the fusion and astralguard formations are connected!"

"Time is of the essence. The key is to control the Flameyellow Fusion Formation to control the world!" Tianming went straight to the Silverdragon Palace, which was devoid of a miniaturized nova source. The emptiness only made the complex, silvery formation even more eye-catching.

"This is the smallest of all the formations. In terms of size and complexity, it’s at least ten times as advanced as the solar core. It took me more than three months to integrate the solar core before! And the Imperialdragon Palace’s formation core is a hundred times larger than this one. Won't it take more than a thousand years for me to integrate all of them?!" That was actually a conservative estimate. After all, the solar core had originated from the sky plunderers, giving Tianming an advantage in that aspect. What was being tested now was the bloodline of the flameyellow divinities. Tianming's main bloodline was that of the sky plunderers’, so it was still uncertain whether or not he could integrate the Silverdragon Palace’s formation core.

"Just one formation core should place me far ahead of others. With it, I should be able to truly control the fusion formation, adjust the supply of nova source, stabilize its volatility, and really benefit the entire world!" At the thought of that, Tianming didn't care to waste any more time and headed straight for the dazzling core in the center of the Silverdragon Palace. At the same time, he kept an eye on Li Wudi and Lingfeng’s condition, as well as any developments regarding the specters. The Ninedragon Imperial Tomb returned to the Sky Palace and landed on the ground.
