Chapter 2900 - A Tad Too Amazing
An hour ago, when Tianming returned from the Xenoabyss, Feiling told him that Wudi had urgent matters to discuss with him.
"It seems like your godfather has opened another secret chamber in the Gladean Ruins," she said.
"Such good news at such a critical moment?" Tianming was pleasantly surprised. As expected of Wudi to live up to his namesake of Invincible. He was reliable in critical moments, even if he was only ‘invincible’ in very specific situations. It was quite impressive. As the flameyellow divinity with the most concentrated bloodline, only he could open their inheritances one by one.
"The Thousand Foundation Divine Puppet hasn't shown its might yet, and he’s already opened a new secret chamber. I hope the treasures in this one are as useful as the Thousand Foundation Divine Puppet!" Tianming said with anticipation as he came out of the solar core and entered the Gladean Ruins outside.
At this point, Tianming was finally unafraid of assassins. Even if a foundationeer lurked beside him and wanted to kill him, it would be impossible for them to do it quickly.
"What good things are there?" Inside the Gladean Ruins, Tianming found that Xiaodao and Wudi looked a bit strange, like they were constipated. He couldn't tell whether they were joyous or worried.
"You'll know when you go in."
Tianming grew even more puzzled.
Even Ying Huo and Meow Meow were curious. Hanging on his shoulders, they stared at the secret chamber.
"So bright?" Tianming remembered that the previous two secret chambers had been relatively dark at first—especially the one containing the Thousand Foundation Divine Puppet, which couldn't be seen at the beginning. However, this third secret chamber wasn’t just bright, it was so dazzling that he couldn’t open his eyes.
Just as he entered, he was shocked. "This is the aura of ordered manna!"
Tianming was naturally familiar with ordered manna. In recent years, he had obtained several hive-shaped ordered manna with thirty and ninety apertures, raising the star counts of his lifebound beasts to nine hundred thousand.
How strong was the ordered manna that could make Xiaodao and Wudi look so strange?
"Could it be over a million stars?" Over a million stars meant a whole new level. There were no lifebound beasts with over a million stars in the Infinitum Mundus. The Infinitum Mundus was a mundus of beastmasters, but ironically, it was totemancers and infinite beastmasters who reigned supreme there. As for the adjacent Skydome Mundus, they were wondermancers.
A lifebound beast with over a million stars hadn’t appeared in either mundus for a very, very long time.
Back when there were only three to five stars in his beasts’ eyes, there was no possibility Tianming could even imagine a million stars. He was full of hope as he approached the dazzling rainbow of light emitted by the ordered manna. Inside the secret chamber were so many shining spots that he estimated there were about nine.
"From the attributes, it should be similar to the nine murals of the Imperator’s Mural?" The Imperator’s Mural was particularly suitable for Tianming. For example, the order of Imperator Carnage was the lightning carnage order, which fell under the genesis order of the Genesis Chaos Thunderfiend, allowing Tianming to master his sword art.
In this secret chamber, there was obviously a manna suitable for Meow Meow.
“It means Ying Huo, Lan Huang, and Yin Chen will also have manna suitable for them. Let’s see if there’s anything for Xian Xian and Ji Ji.” He hadn’t cultivated anything in the Imperator’s Mural suitable for radix or ancestral orders.
Death Imperatoris, which Xiaodao cultivated, had a corresponding manna filled with the power of death. Alas, he had six lifebound beasts with death attributes, but there was only one suitable manna in the secret chamber.
"How many apertures will there be? It’s said that ordered manna for over a million stars will have more than a hundred apertures. Its shape will also be similar to order, changing from a hive shape to something similar to the fortresses of foundationeers. The apertures will appear on city walls and buildings!"
Tianming approached the light, gradually getting closer to the lightning-type ordered manna.
"The pressure’s a bit much! I feel like I need to go back and sleep to recharge my energy!" Meow Meow yawned.
"Don't even think about fleeing. If there really are over a hundred apertures, it's your chance to evolve!" Primordial Chaos Beasts unlocked their bloodline shackles through manna, returning them to their primitive states. It was different from the evolution of ordinary lifebound beasts. Their transformations were uncertain, but in the case of a large-scale release of bloodline shackles, there would be a super evolution.
Those fundamental changes revealed the true terror of Primordial Chaos Beasts. Each time Ying Huo and the others evolved, they had always taken crucial steps.
"This... is a tad too amazing!" The cat’s figure was completely engulfed by light, and Tianming was surrounded by surging lightning. The thunderbolts were a kind of natural power born from the universe. It wasn’t dangerous for Tianming, but if Meow Meow wanted to swallow it, it would definitely need to endure it all.
"Getting closer." Tianming widened his eyes, peering through the light. Sure enough, what appeared in his line of sight was a dazzling little fortress. That alone indicated that it could create lifebound beasts with more than a million stars.
Tianming was excited. "Nine hundred thousand stars may seem like it’s only a small step away from a million stars, but there’s a big leap in realm, almost like the transition from cosmic cartographer to foundationeer!” He continued his approach and the fortress grew even more conspicuous.
Finally, he stood in front of it. It was made up of particles of lightning that formed hexagonal bricks and tiles that stacked in the shape of a fortress. And on those walls were hexagonal apertures filled with surging light.
The more apertures manna had, the more precious it was!
Tianming glanced over. "Why does there seem to be so many apertures?”
At first, he was a bit puzzled, but he didn't dare to believe it.
"Let me count, meow." Meow Meow took it seriously, raising its little pink paw and starting to count.
"One, two, three!" Just as it counted to three, it suddenly felt dizzy and shook its head, saying, "No, there’s too many to count. I'd rather sleep!"
Tianming was speechless at how Meow Meow wasn’t just lazy, but also bad at math. He really didn't know how it had joined the ranks of the Primordial Chaos Beasts.
So he began counting himself! "There seems to be far more than a hundred apertures!" Just a rough sweep of the outer wall had already presented more than a hundred of them.
"One hundred... three hundred!" He was shocked to find that he had only counted less than a third of the walls, and his heart was already pounding.
"Six hundred!"
Reaching that point meant that the ordered manna was extremely top-notch, capable of allowing companions to have six million stars! Six million! The highest count in the Infinitum Mundus’s history was only a million and a half stars.
And he still hadn't finished counting.
In the end, in an extremely stunned state, he came up with a number: "Nine hundred and ninety-nine!"
Only one hole away from a thousand. This manna would create a lifebound beast with nine million, nine hundred and ninety-nine thousand stars.
Was that even still in the Foundation stage? “Will this still be a fortress if I add one more aperture?” He continued checking the other manna and became even more dumbfounded. Nine ordered manna, and all of them had nine hundred and ninety-nine apertures.
He understood now. He finally understood why Xiaodao and Wudi looked constipated. These were manna so good that they could drive even Myriadpath Valley crazy.
The problem was, they couldn't use them....
