Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7265

Chapter 7179: A Hero Never Leaves Empty-Handed

The ancient demon that had been interfering with Lin Xiaoxiao’s cultivation slowly dissipated into dust under Li Tianming’s sword strike.

However, its ancient demon eye was deliberately preserved by Li Tianming and was directly stored in his Sumeru Ring instead of dissipating.

At this moment, the surroundings returned to complete tranquility.

Thus, Lin Xiaoxiao could continue absorbing the Primordial Demon Rays to refine her honey in peace.

She silently began refining honey in front of the remaining Primordial Demon Rays.

But after a moment’s thought, she collected all the remaining Primordial Demon Rays, preparing to move them into the Illusion Whale.

After all, she didn’t want to see it stolen by a stronger ancient demon again.

Li Tianming looked at the eagerly busy ‘little bees’ and smiled, saying, “You can use these first. I’m going out for a stroll with Yin Chen.”

“Okay.” Lin Xiaoxiao’s eyes flashed, and she nodded slightly.

“Brothers, come back first. We have some important business to attend to. You’re all too conspicuous like this,” Li Tianming called out to the companion beasts swimming in the universe.

Among these companion beasts, the most conspicuous were the mountain-sized Lan Huang and the three small six-soul bodies that drifted and swam freely.

It was only because this area was relatively remote and seldom frequented by ancient demons that they became their primary targets.

In this world, they could completely let loose and frolic.

Although they could also venture out into the Burning Spirit Realm and the Little Divine Treasury Star System, they couldn’t find a space as vast as the Demon Nest, and the novelty here made it far more appealing.

Despite their playfulness, upon hearing Li Tianming’s call, they didn’t delay and quickly returned to their companion space.

With all the companion beasts back, Li Tianming directly entered the Void Universe Starscape, instantly becoming invisible.

Guided by Yin Chen, he traveled through the universe in stealth mode.

Within the Demon Nest, demonic energy raged everywhere, and cosmic rays were extremely violent.

Li Tianming, however, relied on the Eye of Stealing Heaven to absorb the cosmic rays, completely unaffected, traversing the black and red sea of stars at a leisurely pace.

“Yin Chen, so far, how much of the Demon Nest have you covered?” Li Tianming asked on the way.

“One percent,” Yin Chen replied.

“So little?” Li Tianming was somewhat surprised.

“Damn it, that’s not enough!” Yin Chen said, seemingly annoyed.

Li Tianming laughed, “I mean, have you encountered any obstacles?”

“Auntie, you come here.” Yin Chen directly pushed the door open to Aurora.

Aurora smiled gently and said, “After all, the Demon Nest isn’t like the Heavenly Emperor Sect. There are many places that are inconvenient to go to. Here, Yin Chen can spread his influence at full speed, which is actually quite fast. However, this level six star system is still too big. We are newcomers and haven’t stayed in the Heavenly Emperor Sect of the Li Clan Star System for as long as we have. Even though Yin Chen has spread his influence extensively in the Demon Nest, this is all he can do now.”

“That’s true. Such a large star system, even one percent is probably not something we can explore in a short time.” Li Tianming fell into deep thought after hearing this.

“Currently, this area we know of is almost entirely occupied by the two Demon Queens. Basically, all the Primordial Demons we’ve encountered belong to their tribes,” Aurora said slowly.

“Only two Demon Queens occupy one percent of the Demon Nest’s area? They must be incredibly powerful, right?” Sui Shenyao asked in surprise.

“That’s right. They are each one light-years in size,” Aurora said solemnly. “All the Primordial Demon Rays appearing in this area are basically controlled by these two Demon Queens. We were quite lucky to find some unclaimed Primordial Demon Rays before.”

“How did Xiaoxiao manage her cultivation before?” Sui Shenyao asked curiously.

“She obtained Primordial Demon Rays by scavenging in the gaps between the two Demon Queens’ territories with the help of Yin Chen, hiding everywhere. Although her escape skills are decent, they aren’t as comprehensive as Tianming’s. She put in a lot of effort to refine the honey properly,” Aurora said helplessly. “However, these opportunities to scavenge are becoming increasingly rare.”

“How large are the Primordial Demon tribes of these two Demon Queens?” Li Tianming suddenly asked.

Aurora, upon hearing this, said with a grave expression, “There are already hundreds of billions of Primordial Demons…”

“Hundreds of billions!” Sui Shenyao was almost stunned. “How many people does our entire Little Divine Treasury Star System have? It seems to be only a few hundred million, and the strength of these Primordial Demons far surpasses that of the Little Divine Treasury Star System.”

“That’s right, for us now, this is something we cannot contend with.” Aurora continued, “Moreover, for the Primordial Demon Ray, such a large group of hundreds of billions of their companions patrols their territory every moment, and immediately seizes it the moment they discover it.”

Li Tianming seemed to understand something upon hearing this, “Ordinary Primordial Demons basically occupy the Super Cosmic Ray Source and rely on the cosmic rays emitted by it to produce Demon Honey. This state is similar to bees building a nest, but their frequent outings to search for Primordial Demon Rays are more like wasps…”

Of course, this is just a similar lifestyle; in reality, Primordial Demons have nothing to do with any bees.

“Their tight security is indeed a major constraint on Xiaoxiao. Even with the ‘Blood Realm Lightning Strike,’ she still has a hard time navigating this environment,” Aurora said helplessly.

“However, now that I’m here, they’re the ones who should be worried,” Li Tianming suddenly laughed.

“What do you mean? Little Li, are you going to compete with those two Demon Queens for the Primordial Demon Rays?” Sui Shenyao asked in shock.

“How could I? Have you forgotten what I do?” Li Tianming raised his left hand, which had been unbandaged, and shook it, revealing neat, fine black scales and the Eye of the Heavenly Thief emitting a ghostly light.

Sui Shenyao then realized that Li Tianming was going back to his old profession…

…

Following the route pointed out by Yin Chen, Li Tianming quickly found an ancient demon absorbing the Primordial Demon Rays alone not far from the Illusion Whale.

At this moment, this ancient demon seemed to be enjoying itself, because the Primordial Demon Rays it had found were extremely abundant, something that was usually not available to everyone in the clan.

But at least until this area is discovered by other ancient demons, it still belongs to this demon!

Li Tianming, after careful observation, circled its massive body and approached its front.

Within the ancient demon’s crimson eyes swirled the Ninefold Heavenly Reincarnation!

“This is an ancient demon with combat power equivalent to above the Heavenly Venerable level; we still can’t deal with it directly…” Li Tianming’s eyes narrowed slightly.
