Beastmaster of the Ages - Chapter 7864

Chapter 7780: Amidst Deep Water and Scorching Heat

It was clearly taking the opportunity to back down, leaving everyone around both amused and exasperated.

After reluctantly taking one last bite of the Divine Treasure Stone, Xiao Jiu returned to its companion space.

Now, its body, formed from dark energy, had become boundless!

It seemed it didn’t even need to use its supernatural powers; it was itself a moving dark universe.

Led by Yin Chen, Li Tianming, under the celestial phenomena of the void universe, accompanied by Wei Sheng Mo Ran who concealed their forms with the Illusion God technique, quietly headed towards their next destination…

All of this happened silently, completely undetected by the patrolling Divine Treasure Army.

Surrounding the entire Myriad Realms Ruins, the area of the Myriad Realms Divine Treasure Mine was incredibly vast, almost boundless to Li Tianming and his group at present.

Xiao Jiu couldn’t possibly consume such a massive amount of Divine Treasure Mine in a short time.

Behind this area, the members of the Myriad Realms Divine Treasure Army were divided into groups, each with their own area of responsibility.

If it weren’t for Li Tianming and Wei Sheng Mo Ran’s superb concealment skills, no one else would have been able to make the Divine Treasure Army mysteriously disappear.

On the way to the location where Xiao Jiu would absorb the Divine Treasure Stone, as long as there were no powerful figures above the level of the Divine Treasure Deputy Commander guarding the area, he practically swept through everything in his path!

Wherever there were people, Xiao Jiu would directly cover them with the Dark Universe, and Li Tianming and Wei Sheng Mo Ran even attacked simultaneously along the way, slaughtering them even faster!

Even the smallest camp could provide Wei Sheng Mo Ran with at least tens of thousands of Cosmic God Origins, not to mention the large camps with more than one hundred thousand, or even millions, of Divine Treasure soldiers. Li Tianming had seen such large camps before.

In the Dark Universe, as Li Tianming traveled through the Myriad Realms Divine Treasure Mine, there was almost constant screaming.

Countless people cursed, were terrified, and despaired, but they could not escape the fate of becoming ‘nourishment’!

Even though they deeply engraved in their minds Li Tianming, the ‘wanted criminal’ who was a companion beast tamer, and Wei Sheng Mo Ran, the ‘furnace’, it was completely useless; they could not send out any messages!

The most desperate thing was not only their own death, but also watching helplessly as the disaster escalated.

All secrets must die in the heart…

In this swift sweep of the Divine Treasure Army, the first to benefit was Wei Sheng Mo Ran!

Her cultivation level rose rapidly as she absorbed more and more Illusionary God Runes, increasing by another level in the blink of an eye.

And after each camp was destroyed, Li Tianming would give Xiao Jiu ample time to devour the Divine Treasure Stones.

The locations where Xiao Jiu devoured the stones were carefully chosen by Yin Chen, almost hidden corners where no one could find her.

Thus, Xiao Jiu’s strength also skyrocketed!

Every day, Li Tianming would move his man and beast to a new position. During the frequent disappearances of the Divine Treasure Army, the entire lower ranks of the army lived in fear, terrified that they would be next.

Meanwhile, in Jing Zhaowu, Marshal Zhaowu frowned deeply alone in a hall.

“Report!!! Another member of the Divine Treasure Army has gone missing! To date, approximately ten million members of the Divine Treasure Army have disappeared!” a Divine Treasure Army soldier outside the door said in a trembling voice.

This wasn’t the first time he had reported this; it was the dozens of times he had sent news from the front lines.

Ten million—this number is almost shocking; even a large-scale battle might not result in such losses.

And the perpetrators were clearly few in number, yet they accomplished all this!

Jing Zhaowu’s face was ashen, like a volcano about to erupt with churning lava!

However, he ultimately restrained himself.

Acting rashly was a grave taboo in the army!

“Continue the investigation! If necessary, abandon some patrols and focus the search on the areas where the Shenzang Army disappeared!” Jing Zhaowu said coldly.

“Yes!”

Although continuing like this would yield no results, the messenger had no choice but to obey.

However, the messenger was somewhat cautious, worriedly saying, “Marshal Zhaowu, how are we going to explain this to His Majesty? The entire army is in a state of panic, and facing an unknown enemy, morale is about to collapse.”

“Don’t worry, His Majesty already knows about this and is returning from Fengxu. He will surely make the thieves wish they were dead,” Jing Zhaowu said, his gaze slightly narrowed.

The messenger fell silent.

In the end, he left to relay Jing Zhaowu’s new orders.

The situation spiraled out of control, and Jing Zhaowu ultimately had no choice but to consider Huo Zheng’s suggestion.

Amidst the general shock, Li Tianming continued his plan.

The ten million units of Divine Treasure Army’s Cosmic God Essence he had acquired were enough to significantly boost Wei Sheng Mo Ran’s strength!

But in Li Tianming’s mind, this wasn’t enough!

Li Tianming even changed his plan to have Xiao Jiu devour the Divine Treasure Stones.

He decided to first annihilate the Divine Treasure Army, then have Xiao Jiu devour the Divine Treasure Stones within the corresponding camp’s area!

Those mined, readily available Divine Treasure Stones would allow Xiao Jiu to devour them faster and more efficiently!

This process of devouring and running away repeated countless times gave Xiao Jiu unprecedented satisfaction.

“How about it, Xiao Jiu? You listened to me, didn’t you? Isn’t this more comfortable than you huffing and puffing while sucking up Divine Treasure Stones?” Li Tianming said with a chuckle.

Inside the companion space, Xiao Jiu’s body was so bloated from eating too much that it could barely turn over.

“Hmm… hiccup! Not bad.” Xiao Jiu grumbled.

Wei Sheng Mo Ran was also refining the Origin of the God of the Universe, while Li Tianming and the others prepared to rest for a while.

However, at this moment, a group appeared not far from where Li Tianming was.

The leader of the group was none other than the seventh prince in white, Jing Chen!

He walked with a majestic gait, without the group of beauties he was with. His appearance, similar to that of the Heavenly Emperor of Myriad Realms, became serious, exuding royal majesty.

Beside him were not only ordinary Divine Treasure soldiers, but also many Divine Treasure generals.

Each of them possessed an aura as deep as the ocean, and their bodies as Gods of the Universe in the real universe were enormous, even stronger than the Divine Treasure generals that Li Tianming had previously hunted down.

Even among Divine Treasure generals, there was a difference in strength!

This group of Divine Treasure generals were also overwhelmed by recent events, and were accumulating a lot of resentment with nowhere to vent it.

“Vice Commander Jingchen, is there really any point in this search? It’s been a month, and the entire Divine Treasury Army hasn’t found a single clue about the murderer,” a woman in a pink dress said from the crowd.

Jingchen glanced at her alluring figure and said, “Since we can’t find him, let him come looking for us. As long as our men are out and about, they’ll eventually be drawn into committing their crimes.”

“But we haven’t made a single discovery in over a month…”

someone else chimed in.

“We don’t have any other options right now. We can’t just sit here and do nothing. Let’s search first,” said a tall, bald man.

“…”

The group continued their search, no one raising any further objections.

With the massive Divine Treasure Army in pursuit, they drew ever closer to Li Tianming.

“There’s one, Divine Treasure, the deputy commander, with men, they’re here,” Yin Chen’s voice rang in Li Tianming’s ears.

“Perfect timing! I was just worried about having no one to test our skills!” Li Tianming sneered.

He had no intention of avoiding them!
