Chapter 3684 - Those From the Lower Star Ruins Can't Become Cosmic Gods

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.

Then again, it no longer mattered, as they were about to die anyway. Tianming stomped on the guy's face and infused quite a lot of energy that he had brought from the Lower Star Ruins into him. After giving a few more stomps to completely crush his head, Tianming felt like he had vented enough.

There was nothing the Luori scion could do against a monster that consumed his brain and souls but cry out in agony. Yugong Huixueji and Yugong Huiyanji stared at the horrifying sight, completely terrified out of their wits. They wanted to escape, but Zi Zhen had beaten them black and blue.

When Tianming turned back and looked at them, they grit their teeth and immediately kneeled toward him. Yugong Huiyanji kowtowed to him despite her proud, noble status, her entire body covered in dirt and blood. "Please spare us!"

"I beg you, we sisters have no grudge against you! Please spare us! We're willing to do anything to serve you!" Yugong Huixueji cried, her blue eyes blinking nonstop like a pitiful fairy. They weren't that terrified by Tianming, but rather Zi Zhen and Bai Ye! Seeing the end of the Luori, as well as the monstrous appearance of the purple fiend, had twisted their knickers.

When Tianming was right in front of them, they felt an instinctive urge to run, but their fear made them stop. Tianming was free to infuse his energy into their astrons. He stretched out a hand and held Yugong Huiyanji by the chin, though, due to their comical size difference, it didn't look domineering at all.

But Yugong Huiyanji wasn't able to laugh in the least. Tears flowed from her crimson eyes as her body shuddered. Each teardrop was bigger than Tianming's head, falling into the deep abyss down below. She was crying because Tianming's tainted cosmoforce was flooding into her astrons and polluting her pure energy.

Yugong Huixueji cried even harder at the sight. "Sis... it's over for us!" As they shared a fused body, tainting one was basically like tainting the other. Neither of them would be able to become cosmic gods any longer; their lifelong dream had been shattered. But they had a feeling that it wasn't that bad when they recalled the despairing howls of the Doomsday Paladin. Tianming hadn't said a word yet, so they didn't know whether they would be killed or not.

"Lord, please! I beg you! Spare us!" Yugong Huixueji kowtowed nonstop as she cried. She feared dying a pathetic death more than simply dying itself!

Tianming looked at her, then at her sister, and recalled those books that the former valley lord wrote. The protagonist, Lin Feng, would have a sister in each hand to have his way with....

"Ahem!" He cleared his mind of that junk and continued in a stern voice, "Who was it that told you that anyone with energy from the Lower Star Ruins isn't able to become a cosmic god?"

Stunned, they said in unison, "Everyone in the whole world says that."

"Seriously?" Tianming could tell that they only considered the Upper Star Ruin to be part of their world. The Lower Star Ruins was nothing but sewers.
