Beastmaster of the Ages

"Hmm?" The moment Tianming made his move, his opponents instantly felt an overwhelming and unbelievable sense of pressure.

"Impossible!"

Though their mouths roared denials, their reactions were exceptionally swift after having cultivated to such heights. Their wonders immediately activated.

This time, their wonders didn’t spread into a massive domain but were instead contracted and contained them within their bodies, fortifying every astron.

The tactic highlighted a future path for Tianming.

From god to astral god, cultivators often pursued greater scale in their power, such as lifebound beasts growing bigger. However, by the latter levels of the Foundation stage, those who favored flashiness came to realize that being large yet hollow was just painting a target on themselves.

The only exception was if one could still maintain the astron density of an astral giant, which had an even greater astron density than specters.

Thus, in Myriadpath Valley, House Yumo focused on physical fortification. Similarly, House Qitian’s myriadpath source beasts compressed their bodies to enhance their individual combat power. Even House Susihen’s totems leaned toward refinement over sheer size.

Now, Tianming discovered that even wondermancers had adopted the same pragmatic approach.
