Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7397

Chapter 7311: Eating His Way to Becoming the Best in the World!

“Little Jiu, we can’t forget our roots. After all, I brought you here so you could feast on the Divine Treasure Stones, right? And there are all these Divine Treasure Clan members who worship you here. We’re family.” Li Tianming said with a smile.

“Without you, I wouldn’t have been able to find the Divine Treasure Stones! Besides, I don’t have such weak followers!” Little Jiu glanced at Li Tianming and said, “Moreover, the little bugs you attracted disturbed my peace, so I took care of them for you. I’ve eaten the Divine Treasure Stones with a clear conscience.”

“What can I do if they chase after us? You can’t be so powerful that I have to protect you and watch you eat, can I?” Li Tianming said matter-of-factly.

“Just because I’m powerful doesn’t mean I should protect you. If there’s any crisis, figure it out yourself. Don’t always think about messing with me.” Little Jiu glared at him with his huge eyes.

“Sigh~ Don’t be so formal. We’re all brothers. I’ve already promised that all the Divine Treasure Stones I find now and in the future will be yours. Little Jiu, can’t you be a little more generous?” Li Tianming simply sat down opposite Little Jiu and said with a smile.

Xiao Jiu simply closed its eyes again, preferring to ignore everything.

“I’m too lazy to argue with you,” Xiao Jiu said indifferently.

It seemed completely unwilling to pay any more attention to Li Tianming and had no intention of replying.

Li Tianming was sitting cross-legged on the ground, his left hand on his knee, his right palm supporting his chin, and his elbow on his right knee, looking at Xiao Jiu, whose eyes were closed but left a crack.

Seemingly noticing Li Tianming’s smiling gaze, Xiao Jiu suddenly closed that crack as well.

“Xiao Jiu,” Li Tianming said suddenly after looking at it for a long time.

He didn’t receive a reply, but Li Tianming wasn’t in a hurry and waited patiently.

After a while, Xiao Jiu seemed a little impatient and said, “What are you trying to do now?”

“How much of the Divine Stones are left here? How long can you eat them?” Li Tianming said slowly.

Xiao Jiu paused for a moment upon hearing this, then said, “I’ll be finished eating soon, and then I’ll leave. You’re not allowed to stop me.”

Li Tianming’s gaze was gentle as he slowly asked, “After you finish eating these Divine Treasure Stones, where do you plan to go?”

Xiao Jiu glanced at Li Tianming and said, “None of your business.”

“Let’s chat. We’ve at least become somewhat acquainted now, haven’t we? You helped me protect the star system, and I helped you find the Divine Treasure Stones. We at least have a cooperative relationship, right?” Li Tianming pressed on.

“Don’t flatter yourself,” Xiao Jiu snorted.

“Fine, if you don’t want to say, then forget it. Tell me when you want to. It’s your freedom,” Li Tianming said, somewhat helplessly but still resigned.

Xiao Jiu fell silent at this moment. It didn’t respond to Li Tianming for a long time, nor did it open its eyes, seemingly asleep.

Of course, Xiao Jiu hadn’t actually mastered the ability to eat and sleep at the same time, as Bai Ling had said. Li Tianming knew that Xiao Jiu was still listening to him.

Li Tianming quietly stayed with it, then suddenly smiled and asked, “Little Nine, how strong are you now? After eating so much, your body has grown quite a bit. You should be unmatched in the entire universe, right?” *

Boom! *

Hearing this, Little Nine suddenly reacted, its black mist body, which had been coiled at the core of the universe, surging.

“Want to know?” Little Nine opened its eyelids and said calmly.

“Of course I’m curious. After all, the dark energy contained in these divine stones is extremely terrifying. After you absorbed it, it should be even more incredibly powerful on you, right?” Li Tianming said with a bright smile.

Little Nine seemed to think for a moment, then sneered, “Tsk! Let me show you.”

*Whoosh!

* Before Li Tianming could react, Little Nine’s massive body seemed to pour into Li Tianming’s body!

This sudden change made Li Tianming’s expression tense for a moment, but he quickly stretched out his arms, gladly accepting Little Nine’s ‘fusion’.

It’s important to know that Xiao Jiu’s body was already over ten light-years in size when she first left the Heavenly Emperor Sect, and now, after consuming countless Divine Treasure Stones, it’s unknown how much she has grown.

Li Tianming only saw that in the core of this small Divine Treasure Star System, Xiao Jiu’s black mist body was almost omnipresent, filling this space.

When it merged into Li Tianming’s body, Xiao Jiu’s almost immeasurable size seemed to form a vortex around him, frantically drawing him in.

Boom!

This process was completed instantly; Xiao Jiu’s terrifying body completely merged into Li Tianming’s body.

At this moment, Li Tianming instantly opened his eyes, a glint of light flashing within them.

After merging with Xiao Jiu, Li Tianming’s body completely turned black. His long white hair didn’t seem out of place; combined with his sharp eyes, it made him appear even more divine.

Most importantly, Li Tianming had a direct, intuitive feeling of the power within his body!

He was already far stronger than when the two had merged last time, even breaking through to the level of a third-tier Celestial Venerable!

However, even with the power provided by the Life Line, all his power was completely overwhelmed by Xiao Jiu’s dark energy, and his own power was almost entirely replaced.

The surging dark energy within Li Tianming’s body displayed an extremely terrifying explosive force!

“Holy crap!! Xiao Jiu is amazing! I feel like we’re unstoppable in our merged state!” Li Tianming was deeply shocked by this power.

Of course, he didn’t forget to satisfy Xiao Jiu’s desire to show off, and he didn’t hold back his praise.

However, even though Li Tianming praised Xiao Jiu like this, it still separated from Li Tianming’s body only when its power reached its peak.

This cosmic space, which had just returned to some light due to the fusion of Xiao Jiu and Li Tianming, was once again shrouded in darkness by its black mist body.

“Little Jiu, I think we’re the best partners! We’re the strongest together. Don’t you really want to stay by my side?” Li Tianming continued to nag Little Jiu. “Anyway, I won’t restrict your freedom. If you run into someone you can’t beat, we can fight them together.”

“Fight my ass! If you can’t beat someone and want my help, just say so. I don’t think anyone is my match right now, so I don’t need you.” Little Jiu chuckled.

“That’s now, Little Jiu. You don’t know, there’s a saying among humans: ‘There are always people better than you, and heavens beyond heavens.’ It’s the same with beasts. How do you know you won’t encounter some invincible old thing in the future?” Li Tianming continued enthusiastically. “With the ambition of you and me, one human and one beast, we can swallow mountains and rivers. Whoever blocks our path to becoming stronger, we’ll beat them up. Isn’t that a wonderful life?”

“Get lost! I don’t need you. If there’s someone I can’t beat, I’ll eat more until I become the best in the world!” Little Jiu said, her huge eyes wide.

“Ninth Brother, really, invincible, a glutton.” Yin Chen said speechlessly from the side.

“Shut up, you bug!” Xiao Jiu looked at the individual silver dust particles that formed a galaxy-like pattern beside her and said coldly.

“Clearly, it does smell good,” the silver dust said arrogantly.

Boom! !!

As soon as he finished speaking, a terrifying divine power erupted, almost engulfing Yin Chen in the blink of an eye.
