Beast Tamer Ascension-Chapter 19Book 5: : First Confrontation

Vol 5 Chapter 19: First Confrontation

The walls of Xianlin City radiated with brilliant light, as if enveloped in celestial radiance. Upon the city walls, cultivators swallowed hard as they watched the stark contrast between heaven and earth.

In the sky above, a colossal hand extended from the void, seemingly intent on annihilating the world, its demonic energy arcs resembling black dragons. On the ground below, a man and an ox emanated overwhelming demonic might. The collision between the life-death activated demonic power and the giant arm directly erupted with countless spatial disturbances, signifying that both forces had nearly reached the pinnacle of power within the Origin Realm.

Under such intense confrontation, the cultivators of Xianlin City hastily activated the city's protective formation to shield the city from the terrifying shockwaves of these two powers.

"You..." While everyone was stunned by the power Lin Jing displayed, Sheng Kun finally acknowledged Lin Jing's existence, discarding his previous dismissive attitude as waves of emotion surged within him. He never expected this cultivator who had slain Mo Luo and subdued his pet would possess such a trump card.

"A flying ascension realm immortal-blooded demon ox corpse."

"No Nascent Soul Transformation cultivator could possibly control this." Sheng Kun murmured.

This immortal ox corpse was equivalent to an immortal artifact! Even Seeking the Way cultivators needed proper methods to control such artifacts, let alone a mere Nascent Soul Transformation cultivator.

For the first time, Sheng Kun felt threatened.

However, he soon discerned how Lin Jing could manipulate the immortal ox corpse.

"Burning lifespan..." Sheng Kun realized Lin Jing was using a secret technique similar to the Heavenly Demon Physique, exchanging his lifespan for the ultimate sublimation of "Control Dao realm."

Through continuous lifespan combustion, Lin Jing's Control Dao realm had already surpassed Nascent Soul Transformation, reaching the Void Mystical Stage. Combined with the life-death power from his Life-Death Primordial Spirit - the supreme energy for controlling corpses - this enabled him to mobilize the immortal ox corpse.

Recognizing this, Sheng Kun couldn't help but marvel. For ordinary cultivators, this combat method would be sheer recklessness. Even if they could briefly contend with him this way, they would soon perish from lifespan exhaustion.

But!

Everyone now knew Lin Jing possessed the Longevity Body - a perfected Longevity Body at that. His lifespan was at least fifty times that of normal cultivators. While ordinary Nascent Soul Transformation cultivators had two thousand years of lifespan (three thousand for those focusing on longevity cultivation), Lin Jing started with at least one hundred thousand years!!!

This lifespan exceeding Seeking the Way cultivators by tenfold gave Lin Jing absolute capital for arrogance, allowing him to freely use any lifespan-burning secret technique, treating vitality as spiritual power!

Interesting!

At this moment, Sheng Kun set aside his hatred over his subordinate's death and pet's severe injury, calmly stating: "Longevity Body cultivators rarely reach your level. I've seen various divine and immortal physiques, but this is my first encounter with a perfected Longevity Body. However, even with sufficient lifespan to burn, your foundational realm is too low. Your primordial spirit power cannot sustain control over this immortal ox corpse for long."

"He still isn't your match..."

Before Sheng Kun finished speaking, the immortal ox corpse opened its mouth, spewing immortal-grade corpse flames toward the sky. The gray flames instantly made onlookers feel their bodies decaying, forcing them to retreat hastily while protecting themselves with spiritual power.

"So what?" Lin Jing responded.

Boom!!!

The corpse flames entwined the Heavenly Demon's arm. Rather than anger or counterattack, Sheng Kun allowed the flames to gradually corrode the arm, merely responding indifferently: "With your talent, joining the Cultivation Alliance is a waste."

"I'll give you an opportunity - pledge allegiance to me. A perfected Longevity Body... combined with the Heavenly Demon Physique, once the Heavenly Demon Physique matures, even as a Nascent Soul Transformation cultivator, you could contend with Seeking the Way cultivators beyond this realm."

"The Cultivation Alliance is merely a group of weaklings barely surviving under the Heavenly Demon Realm's demonic might."

"If you want Origin Sources, I can provide them."

Boom!!!!

As Sheng Kun's words faded, a chaotic divine light erupted from the city, instantly annihilating the falling void beast into nothingness.

Li Tianyi of the Chaotic Immortal Physique had originally intended to stay uninvolved. But Lin Jing had exceeded all expectations. While he could disregard Lin Jing's previously displayed talent, now he had to intervene - he absolutely couldn't allow Lin Jing to join the Heavenly Demon Sect.

Even at the risk of battling Sheng Kun and both breaking through realm boundaries, he couldn't let the Heavenly Demon Sect gain such an asset with potential to become a Fifth Heavenly King.

"Sheng Kun, this isn't your territory. Get lost! How dare a mere avatar run wild in Immortal City!" Li Tianyi summoned a quasi-immortal artifact - a Chaos Bell. As bell tones spread, the Heavenly Demon arm was instantly repelled, and countless cracks appeared in the void projection.

"Li Tianyi..." Sheng Kun snorted coldly, surprised this opponent could still act... He couldn't help feeling regretful.

"Longevity Body... consider my proposal..."

"Scram!"

Li Tianyi shouted again, causing Origin Realm's rules to resonate with his words. As if his speech became law, a force violently sealed the void in the sky.

"Young Alliance Master!!!"

Seeing Li Tianyi appear, many Xianlin City cultivators showed joyous expressions.

Noticing this, Lin Jing also glanced sideways.

Shrouded in chaotic light mist, Li Tianyi's form and face remained indistinct, but Lin Jing could sense his gaze.

"Junior brother, are you unharmed?" After repelling Sheng Kun, Li Tianyi relaxed. Fortunately, his gamble paid off - Sheng Kun's true body was far from Xianlin City. For just a pet, he could only send an avatar quickly, avoiding an all-out battle.

Moreover, having directly exterminated Sheng Kun's pet, Li Tianyi wasn't worried about retaliation. With Lin Jing controlling the immortal ox, they now both posed threats to Sheng Kun. By allying with Lin Jing, they could outnumber Sheng Kun two-to-one.

Li Tianyi observed Lin Jing - his true purpose in appearing was preventing Lin Jing from joining the Heavenly Demon Sect.

"The legendary Chaotic Immortal Physique..." Lin Jing also regarded Li Tianyi. His objective was achieved - he never intended to truly battle the demon sect's sacred son. As Sheng Kun said, he currently wasn't a match and couldn't sustain controlling the immortal ox for long.

But Lin Jing believed that by demonstrating sufficient power, Li Tianyi wouldn't remain passive. Given the current standoff between the Cultivation Alliance and Heavenly Demon Sect, Li Tianyi would surely protect him to bolster the Alliance's strength against the demon sect!

Clearly, his gamble succeeded - Li Tianyi indeed intervened. Unexpectedly, even Sheng Kun had developed interest in him, an outsider cultivator not originating from the Heavenly Demon Realm!
