âWait, Big Bro, you got it wrong!â Huiye Shi hurriedly explained, âI was just curious about the lifebound beasts they have, so I asked Li Tianming to exchange blows with me. We just went a little too far and he accidentally struck me. He wasnât trying to challenge my authority!â
âHe hit your face accidentally?â Huiyue Yin laughed. âHuiye Shi, give your head a shake. Do you hear sloshing water? Is your head empty or something? Think about your status and theirs! Donât bring down the status of the entire divine moonrace!â
âWhat the hell!â she snapped, âWhatever, Huiyue Yin. Iâll let you know that heâs only twenty-three! I have my sights on him and I want to take him back to the Divine Moon Realm.â
âAre you looking for a pet, or a man?â he mocked.
âShut up! Heâs charming and talented. I want to take him back and let the clan nurture him. Heâll grow stronger than you. You canât be worried that Iâll inherit more of the family wealth after getting an amazing husband like that, eh?â
âNow thatâs weird. You came to this backwater and got a dog to be your man. Arenât you afraid of becoming a laughingstock of the entire Divine Moon Realm? Huiye Shi, people canât mate with animals, got it? The reason celestial orderians canât have children with those of the rootbeast race is because they canât be considered human, understand? The people of the past once thought that if a cultivator had both lifebound beasts and totems, theyâd be unmatched, which was why there were many celestial orderians that formed unions with the rootbeast race in an attempt to create offspring with both of their qualities, only to be stumped when they couldnât produce children!â
âWho said that theyâre animals? The rootbeast race is still considered rather powerful in the astralscape of order, alright? Huiyue Yin, get off your high horse. The rootbeast race is also a part of the realm of order, so how much worse can they be compared to celestial orderians? Not to mention, few celestial orderians got together with the rootbeast race to begin with. And even if they canât produce offspring, so what?â Huiye Shi snapped.
âIf you donât have offspring, how can you fight for an inheritance? He canât compare to the other men you fell for back then!â He almost couldnât help but shake with laughter.
âNonsense. You only want to avert your eyes to the truth. Heâs much stronger than they ever were. Not to mention, who said that I could only fall for one man all my life? If you can have concubines, I can just take a few more divine moonrace husbands! Thereâs many pretty men in this world. I couldnât possibly just settle for one!â
âSo you want to embarrass me with your actions? Do you know how embarrassing it is to be associated with you? If you bring him up there, our entire clan will be mocked and humiliated, moron!â He had stopped laughing and looked truly angry.
âBig Bro, Iâm serious. It has nothing to do with you.â
âSo what? I canât stand disgusting things, soâŠ.â He turned to look in the direction of Xuanyuan Lake.
âWhatâre you planning to do?â she said anxiously.
âI can solve this by simply cutting him down. Why should I even argue with you?â After saying that, he vanished in the moonlight. âI might as well vivisect that animal and see whatâs so special about him. I might yet gain something from it.â
As for whether the humans of the Flameyellow Continent would survive, he couldnât give the slightest shit. He was here for nothing but the sights. The moon guide was the one in charge of things, and he had already gone back.
âŠâŠ
âTianming, Huiyue Yin is outside,â Xuanyuan Dao said right as Tianming guided the caelum of the emperor down to live his experiences.
âAlright.â He returned the caelum and had his lifebound beasts enter his lifebound space.
âBe careful.â The others were rather worried.
âItâll be fine.â Tianming wasnât one who would be afraid to step up. Since Huiyue Yin had come, he knew it was bad news. He had begun to understand a key difference. In the Divine Capital and the Grand-Orient Realm, he had the protection of Li Wudi and the Decimo Dao Palace. In the Archaion Sect, heâd had the protection of the goddess. So, he hadnât been in any real danger, and nobody would harm him over jealousy for his talents. Yet now before the lofty divine moonrace, he didnât have anyone he could count on but himself.
âMaybe you shouldnât put up a strong front and just focus on surviving,â Li Caiwei said. âWant me to teach you how to get convincingly beaten up?â
âThereâs no time.â Tianming smiled and had her rest before leaving the Old Deepstar Path, followed by Xuanyuan Dao, Feiling, and the rest. There was a hint of anger and worry in Feilingâs eyes.
âHeâll be fine, Lingâer,â Lin Xiaoxiao consoled.
âWhether heâll be fine or not doesnât change how cruel Huiyue Yin is,â Feiling said.
Lin Xiaoxiao was taken aback by the strong spirit Feiling had, despite how soft she seemed. Her beautiful, watery eyes seemed to squint with displeasure, giving off a sense of danger. She now seemed just like she had when she used Perpetia to deal with the Archaionfiend.
âNever doubt this: sheâs the most terrifying of them all, a billion times more than even Li Tianming,â the Archaionfiend said from within Lin Xiaoxiaoâs lifebound space. âI advise you to never cross this woman, especially when it comes to taking her man. Youâll die a horrible death, Xiaoxiao.â
âWhat nonsense are you spouting! I donât want to ruin their happiness. Not to mention, those two are so deeply in love that nobody can possibly get between them.â
âOh, so youâve thought about it before.â
Lin Xiaoxiao began anxiously sweating.
They all turned to look at Huiyue Yin, who was looking down on them from above. Behind him was the round moon, making for quite an ethereal, almost godly sight. Tianming left the path and came to Huiyue Yin, not looking directly at him. With the most polite voice he could muster on the advice of Xuanyuan Dao and the rest, he asked, âLord, what can I do for you?â
âI want your life. Give it.â Huiyue Yin cracked a smile as the others opened their eyes wide in shock.
Tianming didnât even have a chance to lament his woes at all. Huiyue Yin had come to demand his life without so much as a reason. Huiyue Yinâs eyes glowed with the power of the Ascension stage and stellunar source as he manifested his totems.
Tianming didnât know how many totems he had. If his talent was on the level of Huiye Shi, there should be five in total. At that moment, one of the totems manifested from his bane-ring, appearing as a glowing, towering figure of a hundred meters in height. It looked far more savage than Huiye Shiâs totem, having a humanoid body but six arms that wielded fang-like, demonic blades. It had a bestial head despite its humanoid body, and a wide, bloody mouth and two moon-like glowing eyes.
The totem didnât seem to have a corporeal form, making it look really wide and spread out. Its lower body seemed like mist that circled around Huiyue Yin. Apart from light, there were many little dots swirling around it, forming various complex patterns. This was his totem, the canine voidgod.
Huiyue Yinâs lips curved into a sly smile under the illumination of the moon. âLowly natives, witness the totem of the divine moonrace!â
He lightly waved and the totem let out a loud, thundering roar as it charged toward Tianming, threateningly waving its six blades. Everyoneâs expression tensed up in anxious anticipation.
