Beastmaster of the Ages

Bai Ye flooded into the astral brain of the Doomsday Paladin. The giant's brain was about two meters wide, filled with large numbers of spiritform astrons. Bai Ye immediately munched down on it like a storm, feasting on it like delicious fruit! The astral brain of the Sundown Pantheon member had been turned into mush by Bai Ye's ability, Phantasmic Bubbles, so it wasn't able to resist being eaten at all. Even if Bai Ye didn't consume it, the vita would collapse and die on its own.

"The Celestial Sourcepath Progenitor at the seventh level of the Foundation stage and the omnisentient soul power of everyone in God Domain One is no joke...." Tianming muttered.

The two wonderian women had only avoided death by using their divine wonders to protect their brains. The Luori beastmaster, on the other hand, had been completely destroyed by Bai Ye. Such was the nature of soul techniques; not everyone had an adequate countermeasure against them.

Clearly, though Luori Tianlian and his lifebound beast were at the sixth level of the Overflow stage with eighth overflower souls, they had no soul defenses to speak of. As such, not dealing with Bai Ye meant being attacked without being able to defend against it. It was a race against each other, level difference be damned.

It seems like Bai Ye's brash personality developed in such a manner. Truly exciting! Tianming thought. Souls were yet another part of cultivation. As long as I grow stronger and keep Bai Ye alive longer, there's nothing it can't take care of! He and his new soul beast made the perfect team. He would be its armor while it would slip through most of his enemies’ armor.

Then again, its dominance is limited to God Domain One. I wonder if I can get my subjects in Tianmingopolis to give him soul power.... It's symbiotic cultivation, after all, so it’ll benefit from it just like I do! Bai Ye's limits had indeed grown since beginning its symbiotic cultivation, allowing it to take in more and more soul power!

"Hurry up! What’re you blanking out for?! Stink him up!" Bai Ye said as it continued devouring the astral brain.

"But he's a guy!" Tianming was almost speechless. The male beastmaster was already about to die, so why would he care about not being able to become a cosmic god anymore?

Tianming did understand why these stuck-up people from the Upper Star Ruin would say that he stank. He could feel that the cosmoforce and overflowing phase of their astrons was far too pure. It was a perfect kind of energy, while the energy that Tianming had absorbed from the Lower Star Ruins was much weaker and filled with impurities.

"Those from the Upper Star Ruin must believe that using energy in the Lower Star Ruins would pollute their constitutions and prevent them from becoming cosmic gods. Is that why cosmic gods basically never appear in Myriadpath Valley? It's no wonder they don't bother to conquer and rule the astralscape of order!"

Forget ruling. Anyone who wanted to become a cosmic god wouldn’t bring themselves to enter the sewage system of the universe. They would even fear the insignificant fleas that dwelled within it. As such, the stench didn't refer to an actual scent picked up by the nose, but rather the impurity-filled energy that could taint their overflowing phase, hence why those from the Upper Star Ruin feared Tianming.
