Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7715

Chapter 7630: Mutual Assistance and Protection

After a long pause, Chao Zu finally spoke slowly: “Remember what you said. This is a deal. I will have the other Demon Queens send the Primordial Demon Rays into your cosmic starship, and you must keep your promise.”

“Of course, I keep my word. I will protect you.” Li Tianming smiled slightly.

After their exchange, Chao Zu seemed to have become much more agreeable, and the deal seemed to be going smoothly.

At this moment, the Demon Queens around them, including Wu Jin, Wu Shu, Wu Hua, and Wu Jiao, all had trembling eyes, finding it hard to accept the result.

But now, they had no other choice but to suppress their resentment.

From the moment they decided to settle things with their fists, they had already lost!

Now that Chao Zu had been defeated, their dissatisfaction was useless.

After saying this, Li Tianming did not linger there any longer, but headed directly towards the Illusion Whale.

During this process, the golden light and dark energy aura on his figure gradually faded.

Soon, he returned to the appearance of an eighth-order divine seed realm youth.

At this moment, the aura emanating from his figure made it difficult to connect him with the ‘light-dark hybrid’ that had just fought the Nest Ancestor.

After Li Tianming’s figure entered the Illusion Whale, the Nest Ancestor also dragged its massive, half-broken body away.

It slowly returned to its original dormant position, closed its enormous Primordial Demon Eye, as if to continue resting.

Deep within this demon nest, in the center of the special ‘red egg’ formed by special cosmic rays, was the location with the strongest cosmic rays in the entire demon nest.

The Nest Ancestor usually spent most of its time here, using this special environment to try to delay the loss of its life force, but now it seemed slightly tired.

Wu Shu and a dozen other demon queens surrounded the Nest Ancestor at this time, not concerned about its condition, after all, the Primordial Demon’s life force was incredibly tenacious, and such a battle was not enough to affect its survival.

What they cared about was something else more important.

“Mother, do we really want to cultivate Wu You, this traitor?” Wu Jin asked cautiously.

“Making it stronger only creates an even greater threat for us… Mother, making concessions like this will only make our situation more difficult!” Wu Shu said worriedly.

The Nest Ancestor listened quietly with its eyes closed, offering no immediate response.

After a long while, it spoke slowly, “Among you, is there any who has grown to the point of being able to contend with the Eternal Heavenly Emperor?”

Wu Shu and the dozen or so Demon Queens exchanged glances, none daring to respond immediately.

They had only barely reached the threshold of the Twelfth Heavenly Fate Reincarnation Ancient Demon Eye; they were far from reaching the Nest Ancestor’s level!

Moreover, whether they even possessed the racial talent to live and grow to that point was still unknown.

“But Mother, don’t we still have you? You can contend with the Eternal Heavenly Emperor; haven’t we always managed this way?” After a moment of silence, Wu Jin said somewhat unwillingly.

“I’m old…” Ancestor Chao sighed softly, then continued, “But the Eternal Heavenly Emperor is still very young. Once I pass away, no one will be able to contend with him. Sooner or later, the Demon Nest will face a massive attack from the Heavenly Emperor Sect. You all know what his clan needs. At that time, the clans in the Demon Nest will probably be slaughtered.”

“Then we shouldn’t be nurturing enemy forces!” Wu Jin said somewhat excitedly.

“To be honest, I don’t trust that kid either, but that junior of my clan is called ‘Wu You,’ right?” Ancestor Chao paused, his tone deep, “You’ve all seen it. That human didn’t kill the Demon Queen. He cares about that human girl, and he also cares about Wu You. So, with this human kid’s promise to protect the clan, it’s undoubtedly a lifeline for us. If I pass away in the future, someone will protect the safety of the Demon Nest…”

“But… but!”

Among the Demon Queens, some seemed to want to say something.

“There are no buts. Step down, I need to recuperate.” Ancestor Chao said calmly.

Helpless, the Demon Queens, including Wu Shu, could only exchange glances before retreating to their respective territories.

In reality, the Nest Ancestor’s decision was irrevocably binding on the other Demon Queens, as evidenced by the fact that it hadn’t opened its eyes the entire time.

Meanwhile, Li Tianming had already returned to the Illusion Whale.

As soon as he returned, Jiang Feiling’s figure detached from his body.

The golden-haired, golden-eyed, bright-eyed girl, with a graceful figure, smiled and took Li Tianming’s hand.

At this moment, Lin Xiaoxiao cast an inquiring glance at Li Tianming, but hadn’t spoken yet.

Li Tianming understood and smiled, “It’s already agreed. Primordial Demon Rays will be delivered. From now on, the Illusion Whale will stay here. You can cultivate peacefully here.”

“Originally, we relied on the Illusion Whale’s concealment array to obtain Primordial Demon Rays little by little through theft and robbery. Now we can even enjoy tribute! I never thought this day would come,” Wu You said with some emotion.

Lin Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes, speechless. “Your Demon Queen status is useless. I was hoping to use you to find out about our family ties, but thankfully they didn’t treat us like enemies!”

“Can you blame me entirely? It’s all a problem with this cultivation system!” Wu You retorted, getting a little impatient.

“No means no, stop arguing.” Lin Xiaoxiao chuckled.

Wu You shoved Lin Xiaoxiao away with her tail, cursing, “Fine, fine, your man is powerful, I’m not. If he is, you can have fun with him, why do you care about me?”

Lin Xiaoxiao, caught off guard, was pushed into Li Tianming’s arms.

Inside the Illusion Whale, there was not only the main cabin but also various smaller cabins.

Li Tianming hadn’t collected honey in a long time, and Lin Xiaoxiao’s demon honey was almost overflowing, but because there were more important matters to resolve, she had held back all the way.

So, the Phantom Whale remained deep within the Demon Nest, surrounded by countless Demon Queens, while Li Tianming and Lin Xiaoxiao gathered nectar within the ship…

Time passed, and after a long while…

all the demonic honey within the blossoms had been refined, and Lin Xiaoxiao had collapsed into Li Tianming’s arms.

“It’s a pity, I still haven’t achieved a significant improvement,” Li Tianming glanced at his left palm.

“With the unlimited Primordial Demon Rays in the future, my honey-refining speed will be even faster, and then I should be able to improve again,” Lin Xiaoxiao said slowly.

“That’s true!” Li Tianming suddenly smiled.

The two spent some time in a separate space within the Phantom Whale, resting briefly before returning to the largest main cabin.

Although there hadn’t been a major improvement, the demonic honey, stored for a long time, still provided some enhancement to Li Tianming’s Eye of Heaven.

Li Tianming was in high spirits and full of energy. He looked at Jiang Feiling and said, “We have achieved such good results in the Ten Thousand Sects Emperor War, but we have not yet returned to the Heavenly Emperor Sect to report the good news. I guess Senior Sister Chaoxi and the others are still looking forward to our return from Fengxu. I have to go back first.”
