Chapter 4408 - Constellationsteal
Cang Shentu’s death brought a close to the incident.
However, the departure of Imperator Tu and Imperator Ji, resembling an elopement, stirred up a new wave of turmoil. Many were cursing, knowing that the other side’s true target was Tianming.
They could only pray the imperial son could hold back and not fall for the trap.
As for Imperator Long and Imperator Tong, they returned together to the Kunruler Palace.
Tianming didn’t leave right away and stayed for a while with Li Muyang and Wei Jing.
“Tianming, your progress is astonishing. You should be able to absorb those kilooptic beast eyes from before,” Li Muyang beamed.
“What will happen after I absorb them?” Tianming asked.
“It’ll give you a pleasant surprise,” Li Muyang replied.
“All right.” Tianming nodded, then asked again, “While I was away, did anything else happen?”
“The situation has remained stable.” Li Muyang patted his shoulder. “Don’t think too much. Your task is simply to keep improving. The more anxious they become, the more prone they are to making mistakes.”
“Understood.”
“Go.”
Tianming returned to the Kunruler Palace with Mu Qingqing quietly following behind him the whole way. Along the way, he recalled the expressions of Li Muyang and Wei Jing earlier and felt something was off.
“It feels like the versions of them in the Realm of Chaos are hiding something from me...” It truly was bizarre that so many familiar names had appeared in the Realm of Chaos.
He just didn’t know whether the peculiarities lay with the Realm of Chaos or the Chaos Skyjail.
Tianming shook his head. There were too many questions he could not answer. For now, the people of the Realm of Chaos treated him well. Presumably, someone would explain everything to him when the time was right.
He returned to the Kunruler Palace and saw Imperator Long and Imperator Tong chatting together. Imperator Tong even winked at him as if nothing had happened.
Cang Shentu had essentially been used to death by them.
“These women are masters at manipulating public opinion. They act approachable, yet are lofty and arrogant at heart, treating all men like donkeys.” Tianming ignored her entirely.
Compared to them, Comma Girl was far better.
Tianming really wanted to see Mu Qingqing as nothing more than Comma Girl, but she refused to give up her own name.

It was easy to find a quiet place in the Kunruler Palace, which was as large as a heliacal-class world.
“Report any suspicious moves they make,” Tianming instructed Yin Chen, then took out the “bird nest” he had obtained earlier from the Archaionfiends' lair and entered cultivation.
The eyes of the eight centuroptic beasts in the upper layer had already been swallowed by him, which had let him awaken Daosteal.
“If I swallow the kilooptic beast’s eyes, will I awaken the fifth point?” Tianming looked forward to it. At present, Li Muyang of the Realm of Chaos had unlocked eight points, and Li Tianzi had unlocked seven.
Yet neither had awakened the Fatesteal, which showed how special that ability was. Of course, Tianming was not using that ability yet.
He guided the red dots on the outer ring of the Plundering Eye inward toward the taiji yin-yang fish at the core. The entire Plundering Eye seemed to be soaked in blood, turning scarlet.
A full nine hundred blood-red compound eyes appeared, densely packed.
Then he opened the lower layer of the bird nest, reached inside, and began devouring the kilooptic beast’s eye in great mouthfuls. One blood-red compound eye formed after another, rapidly increasing in number.
“These are much larger than centuroptic beast eyes...”
With Bai Feng’s return and the fusion of the Celestial Sourcepath Progenitor, Tianming’s soul was far stronger, making the devouring process extremely smooth. It didn’t take long for the number of compound eyes to increase to one thousand nine hundred.
Both Vitasteal and Daosteal were greatly enhanced, especially the latter which allowed him to absorb dazzling radiances at a much faster rate.
All the red suddenly receded and crashed into the fifth gray point, turning it green! Green spread, gradually forming a vortex that filled the entire taiji yin-yang fish.
A brand-new bloodline memory awakened in Tianming’s mind: Constellationsteal!
“Constellationsteal?” Tianming learned that this ability could be used in battle to steal and replicate an opponent’s cosmic constellation.
Cosmic constellations were the powerful trump cards of primocosmic gods. The difficulty in fighting them would exponentially increase without Ying Huo and Meow Meow restraining them. Now, with Constellationsteal, he could replicate an opponent’s cosmic constellation even while at the Heavencosmic god stage!
The more cosmic constellations he stole, the more transformations he could undergo, allowing him to switch among various cosmic constellation bodies in battle and even counter an opponent’s constellation.
“You got stronger by the blessing of the Green?” Ying Huo gasped.
Tianming didn’t hesitate to slap it back into the lifebound space.
“My head hurts.” He shook his head. First green leaves on his forehead, then the green-hat scheme, and now even this newly unlocked point was green...
“You really do care a lot,” Mu Qingqing said softly from the side.
Tianming glanced down at her. “Actually, you’re quite cute. Too bad you’ve got a mouth.”
To be honest, Mu Qingqing probably had the most right to talk about being cucked... Cough cough.
Mu Qingqing fell silent.
At that moment, the two originally dim black-and-white twin stars on the back of his hand suddenly lit up. An aged yet profound voice came from the white star, “The path of plundering is endless. The Starplundering Claw gives rise to transcendence!”
It was his grandmother Dongshen Yue’s voice, familiar, yet also somewhat distant.
“This is the cosmic art unique to the sky plunderers, the Starplundering Claw?”
The skypole stars were the protection and inheritance his grandparents had exchanged their lives for. The power of protection had faded, but the inheritance of the sky plunderers would accompany him forever.
“Grandpa and grandma... have already passed on. Now, grandma’s voice only represents the inheritance of the sky plunderers’ will and to pass on the sky plunderers’ unique abilities at appropriate times...”
