Beastmaster of the Ages

Chapter 3316 - Candy

Over two months later, Tianming put away the black-and-gold sword light. His gold and black eyes scanned the starry sky. "The first fold of the Greatsun Suishen Art is complete."

Who could have expected the peak battle art of House Suishen would be used against House Yumo?

"Suishen Yao also helped me gain two more simulacra. It’ll definitely be more powerful if I use it with the Greatsun Suishen Art."

Fourfold Simulacrum, Era Swordwheel! Fivefold Simulacrum, Eternal Tomb! The two simulacra further developed the terrifying lethality of the decapath era godswords. The increase in power they granted to Tianming’s totems was equivalent to the sixth and seventh folds of Suishen Yao’s. Especially Eternal Tomb.

He scanned the abyss in the depths of the starry sky, his mouth twitching as he fiercely said, "Your welcome gift is ready, I’m just waiting for you to come."

A strange and huge dark shadow quietly roamed in the endless dark.

"The Yumo Blood Crucible can be activated again." When a pale male House Yumo eminent said that, the twenty-odd people waiting beside him all smiled and cheered.

The pale House Yumo eminent was Yumo Xue's uncle, Eminent Baigui. He was the manager of the Hellfiend, a mobile stareye. He held a high position in House Yumo, almost equivalent to Eminent Jiguang’s in House Suishen. He had been cultivating for four thousand years and was at the peak of his combat power, one level higher than Eminent Jiguang.

Eminent Yinyue was his wife and Yumo Lingyue was his daughter.

Apart from Eminent Baigui, the Hellfiend also carried eighteen other House Yumo eminents with high statuses. Their presence on the mobile stareye, traversing the Million Mundi and guarding the greatest secrets of House Yumo, indicated that they were core members of the house, with higher statuses than external ninth-level foundationeer eminents like Eminent Tiankui.

Among them, thirteen were ninth-level foundationeers and five were tenth-level foundationeers. Each tenth-level foundationeer was comparable to Eminent Jiguang in power. Including the newly arrived Eminent Yinyue, there were actually six tenth-level foundationeers present.

In comparison, Yumo Xue, who was a second-level foundationeer, wasn’t considered a part of House Yumo’s combat power. However, even he would be enough to sweep through the Million Mundi. It was rare to find rex mundi who could be his opponents, as very few had the cultivation of an eminent.

Thus, the group of people on the Hellfiend never considered any safety issues. The group of people was actually overkill in combat power. With the Hellfiend, they could easily massacre any sixth-level nova source world.

In this situation, the main reasons so many people were present were twofold.

First, the Hellfiend used skypiecer-class nova sources, but the Yumo Blood Crucible was an artifact and needed cosmoforce to activate. To refine a drop of starblood required the collective effort of all eighteen eminents.

And second, they were the core of House Yumo. Their children were qualified to consume starblood, so they had volunteered to be there, mostly to get in the Eminent Baigui’s good graces and improve their spot in the queue.

Therefore, although life on the Hellfiend was somewhat boring, there were still a large number of top House Yumo eminents there.

When they were bored, they would go to some infinitum-class worlds to have some fun. Ordinary heliacal- and skypiercer-class worlds were like pigsties to them. They would never go in. Even if they wanted some carnal pleasure, their minimum standard was an astral god. Taking turns playing with female rex mundi was a common thing.

To so-called backwoods mundi, they were supreme gods!

At that moment, those self-styled supreme gods had playful smiles on their faces.

"It's time to brew the wine again."

"Three little ones, are you sure you want to watch? I'm afraid after you see it, you won't dare absorb starblood anymore."

The elders joked with smiles on their faces.

Yumo Yuanni nonchalantly pouted, saying, "Isn't it just using the vacuum to draw in the flesh and blood, then filtering it, and finally refining it with the Yumo Blood Crucible? What's to be afraid of? I’m not scared. To be a demon among demons, one must endure the hardest of hardships."

"So brave? But the problem is those mortals are very noisy. The process looks fine from a distance, but if you watch closely, their ghostly wails can be deafening," an elder laughed.

"Who cares? Wildbeasts squeal when you kill them, too. Besides, these fragile lives aren't even as good as those wildbeasts," Yumo Yuanni said.

The eminents exchanged knowing smiles, secretly thinking, This generation's education is very successful, better than ours. We had some psychological pressure back then.

"Thanks to the establishment of the mobile stareye, the entire process has become streamlined, with more and more starblood flowing. The children have become accustomed to it."

"Early education is very important." n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

They were heatedly discussing while Eminent Baigui, Eminent Yinyue, Yumo Xue, and Yumo Lingyue stood at the prow of the Hellfiend, gazing ahead at a dark green star that was growing larger in their view.

"Mother, I don't want this star, it's too dark, not bright enough," Yumo Lingyue pouted.

Eminent Yinyue knocked her on the head and said, "You’re really picky. Even when we’re refining starblood for you, you're picky about the color?"

Yumo Xue softly chuckled, "Starblood isn't refined from a nova source, but from the flesh and blood of the beings on it. It makes no difference. Whichever’s closer, we pick that one to save time."

"Oh, since Big Brother said it, of course I'll listen." Yumo Lingyue blushed.

"It’s been more than two months, I wonder if anyone in Myriadpath Valley’s tracked down Li Tianming's whereabouts...." The pale Eminent Baigui glanced at Yumo Lingyue, his face cold and stern. He’d been wandering outside and had only received the news of his daughter's body being destroyed two months ago, almost driving him mad.

"Uncle, don't worry. As long as they catch him, my father will demand him from House Suishen. Then my sister will definitely get her revenge," Yumo Xue said.

"Once she absorbs this starblood, we’ll return to Myriadpath Valley and have a look," Eminent Yinyue said.

Speaking of Tianming, their moods turned sour.

However, Eminent Baigui patted his daughter's shoulder and said, "Let the past be in the past. Today, you’ll witness the miracle of the Yumo Blood Crucible and understand the supreme status of our house in the starry cosmos. Rise from your fall and pass on our legacy, ensuring House Yumo always stands at the pinnacle of the universe!"

"Yes, father!" Yumo Lingyue, hearing all that, made her decision. She pointed at the dark green star ahead and said, "I've decided. I'll take this one. It’s my candy for today. After eating it, I’ll start anew and I definitely won’t disappoint father and mother."

Her parents warmly smiled.

"Your parents really love you," Yumo Xue said with emotion.

"Yes." Yumo Lingyue felt the love of her parents, which was indeed very warm and sweet. She looked at the dark green star ahead, which was getting bigger and bigger in her eyes.

"That's why the love of our Three Exalted Houses is important and warm. The so-called feelings of those specks of dust on the star, even if they have parents and siblings, are cheap and humble, meaningless.... Am I right, Father, Mother, Big Brother?" Yumo Lingyue shyly asked.

The other three shared a knowing laugh.
