Beastmaster of the Ages Chapter 1840 - Beyond Redemption

Chapter 1840 - Beyond Redemption

The Xenoworld was a place where caeli roamed, as well as the place where the divine wonderians had built wondersky realms. Tianming had used a dimensional rope to pull Lingfeng out of it, so hed seen the eerie and dreamlike dimension with his own eyes before.

"That’s right. It can allow me to use power that isnt mine for a short period of time." Lingfeng lifted both hands and stretched them toward the gate with a craving for power in his eyes. That desire had been born from the many times he looked at Qingyu and his hatred for the sun emperor. It was the same kind of hatred he had held for Autarch Qian and the Ancient Theocrats a long time ago. With Tianming often being apart from Lingfeng, he couldn’t understand how the black-haired youth felt. If even Tianming found the sun emperor unforgivable, how would Lingfeng feel about it, given that he had to witness Qingyu’s suffering day in and out?

"Feng, how does it increase your power?" Tianming asked after calming himself.

"Do you remember what I was called in the Divine Moon Realm?" Lingfeng said with a smirk. Tianming found it rather mischievous and charming in its own right.

"I do. It was quite cool. Night demon, I think it was. The night demon and the Ninemoon Goddess. It almost sounds like something out of a fairytale." Tianming tried lightening the mood a bit.

However, that attempt seemed to completely go over Lingfeng’s head. "Back then, I realized the effect I had on totems. It’s like I could devour their totems’ terra using my Primordial Gate. However, the gate hadnt been truly activated back then, so I could only devour low-level totems. After that, I tried not to use this ability to avoid attracting attention and hostility from totemancers."

"What about now?"

"My Primordial Gate has entered its second phase and unlocked the Xenoworld Gate. As I intermingled with that other world, I realized I could use the Xenoworld Gate to suck in vita and terra as well. The gate converts souls into pure energy that my vita can absorb, enhancing my abilities for a time." His expression seemed rather dark as he mentioned that. Naturally, his hostility wasn’t directed at Tianming, but rather the celestial orderians.

"That means you’ll be able to get stronger by defeating enemies and absorbing totems?"

"More or less."

"And you said your Xenoworld Gate can grind down a totem to be used to fuel your vita temporarily, right? What happens to the lost totems? Will they reform if the bane-ring is intact?"

"No. A bane-ring without terra is useless. Usually, when we defeat totems, the terra remains undamaged, allowing totems to reform. However, what I do involves destroying the terra," Lingfeng said.

"I see! It’s a little like Xiaoxiao’s Archaionfiend, but that creature deals with caeli and doesn’t have good efficiency. Doing so also seems to injure it in some capacity, yet your Primordial Gate doesn’t seem to come with any negative effects."

"That’s right.".com

"However, there’s a limit to the number of totems, right? The boost you can get from it should be limited." Surely, it would take an enormous number to match the number of Omnisentient Threads.

"Yes. Devouring the totems of tens of people wouldn’t increase my soul power by much. But..." his eyes seemed to glow at the mention of that, "actually, even a beastmaster without bane-rings has a terra. Once their vita is extinguished, their terra and caelum return to nothing and scatter in the environment. Normally, not that many terra would scatter around just like that, but it’s different on a battlefield! The battle at Fushen Valley had around tens of millions of casualties, and every one of those people had a caelum. If I absorb all of them, my soul power will rise to a point that even I’m not sure of! I’d definitely be able to help you out somehow! We can team up against that damn sun emperor!"

Lingfeng sounded more and more agitated as he spoke; he had nothing but hate in his mind. The revelation startled even Tianming. A person had a tripartite soul. The vita resided within the body, while the terra and caelum existed outside of it. The caelum was the key way the vita communicated with the laws of the world, whereas the terra interfaced with the vita and could be turned into totems. However, the main thing that underpinned the survival of an entity was the vita. Terrae and caeli were different from vitae in fundamental ways.

Tianming imagined what Lingfeng was trying to illustrate. He would appear with his Xenoworld Gate, absorbing the terrae dissipating in the environment for his own use, converting them into soul power. He was like a monster that could feast on souls, which was a terrifying ability to contemplate. Then again, his legacy should be similar to that of the Primordial God-Emperor’s in some way. Tianming had Imperial Will and the Omnisentient Threads, so it wasnt out of the question for Lingfeng to have his own impressive techniques. Despite the horrifying nature of the move, Tianming fully trusted him.

"Alright. I’ll take you along to the next big fight. Show me how powerful the Primordial Demonlord’s technique is. I still don’t know too much about your ability, so just promise me you won’t push yourself if you really can’t, alright?"

"Will do. Thank you, Tianming." With Tianming’s permission, Lingfeng was filled with fighting spirit.

"By the way... you mentioned vita in addition to terra just now, right?" Tianming furrowed his brow when he recalled it.

"Yeah. I can use both terra and vita. In fact, a vita is a hundred times more potent than a terra of the same level."

"Vita is the core of one’s being and might be related to the cycle of reincarnation. Destroying it like that might be going against the fundamental workings of the universe, so let’s not touch those," Tianming said.

"Got it! Unless...."

"Unless what?" Tianming glared at him.

"Nothing. No exceptions," Lingfeng said with a laugh. However, he resolved himself to do anything he could to save his loved ones, should they ever be in real danger. I can’t just watch. Even if I have to suffer the consequences, I must do something.

Either way, Tianming believed that it was good news. Anything at all that could help alleviate their dire situation was a good thing. He believed in the power of the Primordial Demonlord, since his own legacy had helped him quite a lot.
