Chapter 2267 - It’s Me, Your Granddaddy

The explosive increase of Tianming’s divine wills indicated a coming increase in cultivation level. While his five astralforces increased in quantity, the First Aeonic Ancestral Star was also able to absorb more of Ebonia’s nova source and convert it into genesis ancestral nova source.

In his body, apart from genesis ancestral nova source, he also had the power of the Grand-Orient Sword’s vortex. It was those two non-astralforce powers that allowed him to bridge the massive gap between him and his opponents in terms of astralforce.

In terms of quality, Tianming had the advantage!

The dark nova source of Ebonia ceaselessly flowed into his and his lifebound beasts’ bodies. As the astralforce increased and surpassed their current limit, it flowed into the minor stellar charts on their albi’s inner walls. The minor stellar charts would gradually manifest and become more defined. Of course, Tianming’s minor stellar chart was still far from being as defined as a twelfth-level stellaminor like Qi Qiling’s. Fortunately, outsiders could only tell whether or not he had a minor stellar chart, not whether it was defined.

“The sixth level.” With the ring finger’s tap, Tianming had caught up to a level that others would need three, five, or even tens of years of hard work to reach. His strength had changed once more! His disciple card also reflected him as a ‘twelfth-level stellaminor’ now as well.

“Outsiders will think I only have one more step to becoming an orderan and an infinitum-class genius.” After seeing that, the people of the Lin Clan would probably no longer deem him a hundred-year-old trash.

“Well... I won some respect for my grandparents, too.” Tianming felt very satisfied. He knew that the two elders would definitely be overjoyed to see his current accomplishments. “They must’ve seen the moment I beat Qi Qiling even before I was a sixth-level stellaminor. I wonder how the Lin Clan disciples feel, though....” If it went according to Tianming’s expectations, it was probably ‘admiration’ and ‘concern’. Admiration of his actions, but concern about him offending the ebons.

“The skeletons’ caeli and giant fingers’ help allowed me to break through four levels in one year! From now on, those who admire me should continue admiring. For those concerned, well... sorry, but you’re going to have to stay concerned!” Tianming’s confidence in himself continued growing. “The important question is this. As a fifth-level stellaminor, I could beat a twelfth-level sovereign. Now that I’m at the sixth level, can I use Ying Huo and the rest’s order to give an astralsea divinity a fight?”

Tianming couldn’t answer how big the gap between a god and astral god was without a proper battle. “Since I’m already here, where there’s opponents galore, I should give it a shot instead of just blindly guessing!” After coming to Ebonia, he had been continuously suppressed, first by Gong Shuding, then by Lin Jianxing. He had broken through multiple levels since then, but he still remained in the shadow of astral gods. Even Shuntian Bohan’s shuntian ant had casually flung him aside with no resistance.

For a long time, he had been burning with the desire to battle orderans! He could no longer hold it back now that he had reached the sixth-level.

“Shuntian Bohan… is not… very far… he also… hasn't used… the manna… yet either.” Yin Chen knew his feelings, so it found him a target.

“Shuntian Bohan? He’s from the Central Shuntian Clan, which are ordinary beastmasters. They aren’t ebons, so the result of fighting him should be convincing.” Tianming made his decision.

He had been very passive so far, only being forced to fight each time a treasure was before his eyes. This was the first time he would take the initiative to attack and be a hunter. Of course, Shuntian Bohan was incredibly dangerous prey. Tianming had a large chance of being ‘counter-killed’. However, he couldn’t hold himself back! He had been insignificant before astral gods and was still unable to keep his head up in front of them. Just like when he had encountered the dozens of astral gods at the Pentaphase Ocean and hadn’t even dared to breathe too loudly.

Naturally, Tianming wasn’t going to brainlessly approach this. If he couldn’t win, he could still retreat. He had Yin Chen, after all!

“That manna had four apertures right? Although I can’t use it for now, ordered manna are very valuable.…” Yin Chen was following every participant. Tianming could chase anyone he wanted, so it was a waste not to use it. “If I get a chance next time, I’ll even try to take Guchi Xiaoyin’s dog collar!” No one could hide from Tianming in the Oldgod Domain!

However, strength was still the most important thing.

“Let’s go!”

Yin Chen led the way. It had been paying attention to Shuntian Bohan during this period, so it had some observations and shared with Tianming what he was skilled in, what lifebound beasts he had, and even what his trump cards were.

Shuntian Bohan was an astral god, but he was weaker than Lin Jianxing. His ranking was above eight hundred and ninety and he wasn’t as fast as Meow Meow. “Well, we’ll just try. No pressure, I can always run away. I need to play this smart and not get controlled by my emotions. If Big Sis Le was here, I wouldn’t even need to take any risks in the first place.” That said, though, fighting her may not give Tianming an honest evaluation.

……

As Tianming advanced, Yin Chen gave him another piece of news. The highest ranked of the Lin Clan, Lin Hongchen, was working alone and seemed to have found a strange coffin chamber. It was in the middle layer of the Oldgod Domain and in a very dangerous area, so very few participants had gone there.

The coffin chamber had a formation and Lin Hongchen had some skill in that, so he was attempting to break past it now. However, he hadn’t had any luck so far.

“We’ll go after we test our strength against an astral god.” With Yin Chen, Tianming would know whatever was discovered in the Oldgod Domain. “If I had the strength, this minor reges mundi ranking would be my playground.”

……

“Shuntian Bohan… is up... ahead ahead,” Yin Chen warned as they passed a magma flow.

Shuntian Bohan was alone. Most astral gods were paired with another astral god, which was an impossible match for Tianming. That was one of the reasons he had picked Shuntian Bohan.

Tianming nodded and stepped across the magma. He couldn’t let the opponent know he had specifically come for him, so he would play their meeting off as a ‘coincidence’. Within another few steps, the long-haired man in front noticed Tianming. He grinned when he saw him.

“Swordgod Lin Clan’s Lin Feng.” Shuntian Bohan tilted his head and looked at him with interest.

“Right. It’s me, your granddaddy!” Ying Huo jumped out and crossed its wings as it puffed up its chest.
