Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7748

Chapter 7665: Continuing to Deceive

Meanwhile, within the accompanying space,

Xiao Jiu’s dark energy body, resembling black mist, seemed to float aimlessly.

In its dazed state, it sometimes didn’t even know what it was doing.

Occasionally, it would drift near Lan Huang, enveloping the enormous Taiji Hongmeng Kui Dragon.

At these times, Lan Huang would naturally spin around excitedly, thinking Xiao Jiu was actively seeking it out.

However, dark energy wasn’t so easily approached; just as it was about to get close to Xiao Jiu, it was stopped by an instinctive fear.

“Xiao Jiu is good, but Xiao Jiu’s power is terrifying!” Lan Huang’s usually reckless nature revealed a rare hint of apprehension.

However, Lan Huang’s situation was still relatively mild.

On the other side, facing the drifting Xiao Jiu, Ji Ji had already huddled in the far corner, trembling.

Seeing this, Xian Xian couldn’t help but gloat and mock, “Coward! It’s not even fully awake yet, and you’ve already scared it like this.”

“It…it’s behind you!” Ji Ji’s spirit stared wide-eyed, her lips trembling as she pointed behind the other.

“What?” Xianxian’s face turned pale instantly.

However, when it turned around, it found that Xiao Jiu was quietly standing not far away, not approaching at all.

Ji Ji’s acting was too convincing, even fooling Xianxian.

Xianxian realized what was happening and immediately rolled its eyes speechlessly.

Having avenged itself, Ji Ji laughed heartily, “Little chubby girl, you’ve finally met your match?”

“Hmph! What are you so smug about, you coward?” Xianxian said angrily.

While the companion beasts were playing around, Li Tianming had now found his real target.

And after leaving the Divine Treasure Star System, Xiao Jiu’s ‘full’ state had eased up a bit.

At least, it could now walk properly, and the Divine Treasure Stone fragments wouldn’t spill out with the slightest exertion.

“Xiao Jiu, how’s your digestion going?” Li Tianming asked tentatively through the companion space.

“Asleep, do not disturb!” Xiao Jiu’s cold voice rang out from its black mist body.

“Don’t ignore me yet. If you can move around, come out and help me out, okay?” Li Tianming asked with a smile.

“Why should I?” Xiao Jiu rolled over, seemingly rolling her eyes. “Don’t try to morally blackmail me with that Divine Treasury Star System stuff again. I don’t care if all these people die.” “

How could that be? I’m not doing this entirely for the Wanxing Emperor Sect.” Li Tianming said helplessly, then his eyes suddenly lit up, and he coaxed her, “You should know that Xiao Yu needs the Origin of the Cosmic God from a Phantom God cultivator to improve her strength, right?”

“Tsk! I know, but it’s none of my business.” Xiao Jiu still seemed uninterested.

“Of course it’s related to you, and it’s most related to you.” Li Tianming said with a smile.

“Nonsense! Stop bothering me!” Xiao Jiu said bluntly.

“Don’t be so quick to refuse. Listen to me first. Actually, Xiao Jiu, think about it carefully. This time, you’re not helping the Wanxing Emperor Sect, nor are you helping me. You’re helping yourself!” Li Tianming said mysteriously.

“For myself?” Xiao Jiu hesitated for a moment, then seemed to realize something and abruptly closed her eyes. “No, no, I won’t listen! You’re trying to fool me again!”

“How can this be called fooling me? And what do you mean by ‘again’?” Li Tianming was speechless, but patiently explained, “Think about it, isn’t a good life of eating and sleeping, and sleeping and eating again?”

“Hmm… barely okay.” Xiao Jiu muttered softly, but was still wary of Li Tianming.

“Then if you help Xiao Yu, or even help others become stronger, won’t you be able to fight anymore? When I have time, I’ll take you to eat Divine Stones. When we’re not busy, let others fight, and you can just focus on digesting the Divine Stones. Wouldn’t that be wonderful?” Li Tianming’s words surrounded Xiao Jiu, like he was coaxing a child.

However, Xiao Jiu seemed to fall for it!

“Eat… eat and sleep, sleep and eat again?” Xiao Jiu’s enormous eyes widened instantly.

This undisguised excitement couldn’t be completely hidden no matter how hard it tried to restrain itself!

After all, Xiao Jiu had always been relatively simple-minded.

However, simple as it was, it could still distinguish between good and evil.

“That’s right, so ultimately, taking action now is for your own sake. So, tell me, are you in or not?” Seeing that he had persuaded Xiao Jiu, Li Tianming pressed on.

Xiao Jiu remained silent, its massive dark energy body seemingly emitting a ‘whooshing’ sound; it was struggling with its decision!

“I don’t necessarily have to take down all these Illusion God cultivators. If I can’t win, I just won’t fight, right? At worst, I’ll settle accounts with them later. But you’re different. Now, the first collapse has occurred at the Divine Treasure Mine. Who knows, one day this meal might be your last. From now on, you should eat as much as you can, minimize your activity time, and digest properly…” Li Tianming’s whispers continued, his voice echoing beside Xiao Jiu.

Finally, Xiao Jiu inexplicably became angry!

“No one can stop me from eating the Divine Treasure Stone!!!” it roared furiously. “Men, bring that golden person here too, and kill these guys who try to stop me from eating the Divine Treasure Stone!”

Li Tianming knew that things had succeeded!

After Jiang Feiling had destroyed Feng Yue Siheng and thrown his Cosmic God Essence to Wei Sheng Mo Ran, she had already quietly withdrawn from the battlefield.

At this moment, she had returned to Li Tianming’s side.

Jiang Feiling transformed into a golden figure, wrapped her arms around Li Tianming’s waist, and turned into a ball of golden light, merging into Li Tianming’s body.

That is, she entered the state of spirit possession!

“Brother, let’s go, let’s drag out the big fish and let them know that here, small fish can eat big fish!”

At this moment, Xiao Jiu also merged directly with Li Tianming through the companion space.

At this point, the power of the Eternal World and the dark energy, two extremely heaven-defying forces, reached a balance in Li Tianming’s body.

Li Tianming’s body entered its strongest state!

In this state, his entire body was blackened by dark energy, leaving only his white hair emitting a faint golden light.

All of this happened in a corner of the battlefield, almost unnoticed.

Feeling the surging power within him, Li Tianming couldn’t help but think to himself, “Now Xiao Jiu and Ling’er are both stronger than they were ‘back then.’ Perhaps, I can even contend with an opponent five hundred light-years away now!”

Before they possessed their current strength, Li Tianming was able to defeat the Eternal Heavenly Emperor, who had used the Stealing Heavenly Mandate technique, partly due to the power of collective will.

But now, even without the power of collective will, he was fully capable of fighting the Eternal Heavenly Emperor!
