Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7456

Chapter 7370: What’s There to Be Afraid Of?

Xiao Jiu’s enormous, boundless body had already covered a large area of space deep within the galaxy. If this place weren’t so desolate and rarely visited, the sight of such a large, eerie, and dangerous cloud of black mist would probably scare one half to death.

Yet, at this moment, it remained quietly, seemingly taking a nap.

“What are you doing here again?” Xiao Jiu’s illusory eyes lowered slightly as it glanced at the small, white-haired figure before it.

“Nothing much, just came to see you, to see how you’ve grown.” Li Tianming smiled and sat down cross-legged.

Facing the gaze of such a colossus, Li Tianming remained calm and smiled back.

“If there’s nothing else, don’t come again, there’s no need to come.” Xiao Jiu said casually, its meaning unclear.

“What do you mean?” Li Tianming was slightly taken aback, somewhat confused.

“It means, I’m leaving.” Xiao Jiu closed its eyes, its black mist body swirling slightly.

Only then did Li Tianming understand why Yin Chen had urged him to return quickly.

Although he had long anticipated this day after Xiao Jiu absorbed the Divine Treasure Stone, its sudden arrival still left Li Tianming somewhat at a loss.

So, he looked at Xiao Jiu and said slowly, “Xiao Jiu, can you not leave yet? The Divine Treasure Clan here reveres you as their faith, and your brothers and sisters all want you back.”

“No!” Xiao Jiu interrupted before Li Tianming could finish. “Can’t you see? There are no more Divine Treasure Stones here. Naturally, I have no reason to stay. Without good food, my beastly life is worthless!” “

I’ve already moved on to a higher-level star system. You can rest here for now. In the future, I’ll take you to a place with more Divine Treasure Stones. That day isn’t too far off.” Li Tianming looked at Xiao Jiu, his gaze gentle. “Trust me, coming with me will be safer and more efficient than venturing out on your own. I do have a selfish desire for your return, but I also want you to grow up more steadily and smoothly…”

“How long is ‘the future’? I don’t need to wait. I have my own way of finding Divine Treasure Stones. I don’t need you,” Xiao Jiu said coldly.

Li Tianming had to admit that what Xiao Jiu said was indeed true.

It was capable of finding the Divine Treasure Stone itself, and could have grown and absorbed it along the way; that was how it had mostly done so before Li Tianming found the Divine Treasure Star System.

However, Li Tianming knew that as one of the Primordial Chaos Beasts, Xiao Jiu would inevitably attract the covetous eyes of many, making this path actually very dangerous, and perhaps not as efficient as finding the Divine Treasure Stone with Yin Chen’s help.

At this moment, Li Tianming frowned slightly, a hint of worry in his eyes, and said, “You’ll be all alone on this journey. What if you encounter someone with ill intentions? What will you do all by yourself? If we travel together, we can figure out a solution together if we run into trouble.”

“What’s there to be afraid of? Whoever comes, we’ll beat them up.” Xiao Jiu snorted, then glanced at Li Tianming sideways and said, “Besides, there’s a villain right in front of me who’s eyeing me.”

Li Tianming was speechless for a moment, then said without thinking, “Can those people compare to me? You know we’re in a symbiotic cultivation system. If you’re good, I’m good; if I’m good, you’re good. I would never harm you, but others might be different. If they need to, they might do something to you.”

“I’m too lazy to waste my breath on you. I’m leaving.” Xiao Jiu finished speaking and stopped listening to Li Tianming’s advice.

Rumble!!

Its enormous black mist body suddenly surged wildly, and the entire starry sky region was suddenly filled with lightning and thunder.

The depths of the Little Divine Treasury Star System seemed to have been instantly stripped of all matter; wherever Xiao Jiu’s body had occupied, it became empty.

Within the Divine Treasury Star System, besides the Divine Treasury Stone being completely devoured, other star system meteorites and dust had long since been pushed away by Xiao Jiu’s body.

Now, with Xiao Jiu’s departure, a vast expanse of empty starfield was naturally left behind.

“Hey! Xiao Jiu, wait! Don’t go yet!” Li Tianming looked at Xiao Jiu’s enormous body and shouted loudly, reaching out his hand.

However, Xiao Jiu remained unmoved by Li Tianming’s calls, seemingly completely ignoring him, continuing to churn its body, about to leave.

“What to do? Xiao Jiu is leaving. If it leaves, where will I find it next time?” Li Tianming was extremely troubled.

Li Tianming didn’t necessarily need to take Xiao Jiu with him immediately, but if Xiao Jiu went to some extremely distant place again, leaving him without even a clue to find it, then he would be helpless.

Although he was frantic with worry and couldn’t stop Xiao Jiu, he didn’t give up. He kept calling out to Xiao Jiu, trying to make her stay.

However, no matter how hard he tried,

it was all in vain!

In the blink of an eye, half of Xiao Jiu’s body had been removed, almost turning into a moving dark star system castle, drifting away into the distance.

Just when Li Tianming was even somewhat helpless…

Suddenly!

Yin Chen’s voice rang in his mind: “Found! The Divine Treasure Stone has disappeared!”

After hearing this, Li Tianming looked at Xiao Jiu, who was about to leave, and suddenly shouted: “I have news about the Divine Treasure Stone, a super big piece of news far exceeding the reserves of the Divine Treasure Star System! Xiao Jiu, don’t panic!!!”

Rumble!!

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jiu’s movements indeed stopped!

It remained in this position, with half of its body still deep in the small Divine Treasure Star System, and the other half already extending out of the Divine Treasure Star System.

Li Tianming, holding Yin Chen’s individual body in one hand, felt slightly relieved when he saw that Xiao Jiu didn’t leave immediately.

“Yin Chen, tell me quickly what’s going on,” Li Tianming asked anxiously.

“Tell Aunt, Auntie, we’ll talk to her later.” Yin Chen glanced at Li Tianming and jumped out of his palm.

Li Tianming immediately turned his gaze to the pink-haired, golden-eyed beauty who had transformed into the Chaos Sword Maiden.

“Auntie, how is it?”

At this moment, Aurora looked at Li Tianming, but her peripheral vision caught Xiao Jiu, who had stopped moving, a barely perceptible smile playing on her lips.

“Yin Chen brought us some great news. He discovered a Divine Treasure Stone vein in the Qianfeng Eternal Empire,” Aurora said, blinking.

At this moment, a wisp of black mist, almost imperceptibly close to Li Tianming’s body, moved slightly closer to Xiao Jiu’s.

But all of this was easily detected by Yin Chen, who filled the entire star sector.

“A vein? How big is it? How many Divine Treasure Stones are there?” Li Tianming pressed, actually observing Xiao Jiu beside him.

“A vast amount, far exceeding the Divine Treasure Galaxy. If anyone needed Divine Treasure Stones, possessing them would likely keep them occupied for a considerable time. Yin Chen is still exploring the vein, but the area he’s already explored is at least a hundred times the size of the Divine Treasure Galaxy!” Aurora, with her back to Xiao Jiu, almost couldn’t suppress her laughter, even though she was usually very serious.

Of all the cosmic life forms present, who would need a large quantity of Divine Treasure Stones?
