Beast Taming: Bloodline Golden Hand-Chapter 650 - 433: The Final Battle Approaches

Lin Chen’s pupils suddenly contracted, almost thinking he heard wrong.

Destroy the dragon veins?

This idea was too shocking, practically a challenge to the very foundation of the Cangling Ancient Country.

The dragon veins give birth to spiritual energy, nurturing all beings, and are the source of power for all Beastmasters and Spirit Beasts.

No one could foresee what might happen in the future.

"I also know that the dragon veins are the root of the country; if they are destroyed, spiritual energy could become exhausted, all things could wither..."

There was not a hint of jest in the Great Elder’s face, only unfathomable heaviness and a trace of determination.

His aged gaze looked out the window, where the outlines of Ling Mountain extended, also the hiding place of the dragon veins, and said in a hoarse voice:

"But if the Divine Race gains control of these dragon veins, that’s the true disaster, and the Human Race will be completely enslaved, divided into classes."

"This decision was proposed at the last meeting in the Celestial Capital."

"None of the major powers opposed it."

Lin Chen breathed out upon hearing this.

Given the current situation, it would be very difficult for the Human Race to defeat the Divine Race.

"Was there any record of the consequences in the past?" Lin Chen asked.

Lin Chen never forgot that he traversed from another world, where there was no spiritual energy, no Spirit Beasts, no cultivation, only science.

Could it be that the Beast Taming Continent’s future path is the same?

"The dragon veins are like a giant device for regulating and sealing spiritual energy," the Great Elder explained:

"They gather, refine, and slowly release the vast spiritual energy dispersed between heaven and earth, maintaining the world’s balance."

"But this also means that a very large portion of purer, older spiritual energy has been long trapped deep within the dragon veins, or rather, suppressed."

He paused, then said something earth-shattering:

"If the dragon veins are destroyed, this great ’seal’ will be broken."

"The primordial spiritual energy suppressed for countless ages will flood the world like a broken dam."

"In the short term, there will be a resurgence of spiritual energy beyond imagination!"

"Spiritual energy resurgence?" Lin Chen was shaken to the core.

"That’s right." The Great Elder’s eyes were profound, "This is just a speculation, but probably a realistic one."

Turning his head, the Great Elder looked at Lin Chen and said:

"Lin Chen, your talent is astonishing, I have nothing more to instruct you, but if such a day comes, you must seize this opportunity."

"We don’t know the Divine Race’s choice, but if we can rely on this opportunity... the Human Race might also produce some masters."

"Then we wouldn’t have to fear the Divine Race anymore."

Lin Chen exhaled; this idea was just too much of a gamble.

However, as the Great Elder said, even if it means self-destruction, the Human Race absolutely cannot give the dragon veins to the Divine Race.

Otherwise, the Human Race will forever be a lower race, unable ever to raise their heads.

....

On the permafrost of a high mountain west of Ling Mountain, Lee Zhen paced restlessly along the edge of the ice lake, the millennia-old ice beneath his feet seemed to bear faint marks of his scorching aura.

After taking the Karma Fire Pill and days of seclusion, his cultivation skyrocketed to level 89, and he eagerly wanted to return to Ling Mountain to fight alongside Lin Chen.

During these days, he could clearly sense the reverberations of energy clashes from afar, each tremor tightening his heartstrings.

He feared that if he went back too late and something happened to Lin Chen and the others, he would never forgive himself for the rest of his life. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

But turning his gaze to the lake’s center, the small red figure sealed in crystalline ice made him halt in his tracks.

Lin Chen’s entrusted words still rang in his ears, and the Little Fox was in seclusion now, so it was clearly inappropriate for Lee Zhen to leave.

After all, when he came, Lin Chen had entrusted him with this task.

"Alas!" Lee Zhen sighed heavily, looking at the carefree guy beside him.

The Fire Spirit was lying spread-eagle on the ice, emitting a warm aura, melting a small hollow in the cold ice beneath it.

After taking the Karma Fire Pill, it had slept peacefully, its aura gathered inward, giving no hint of its depth, starkly contrasting with Lee Zhen’s arduous seclusion.

As Lee Zhen anxiously waited, a strange red light of potent energy explosion appeared again on the distant horizon, prompting him to finally make up his mind.

"I can’t wait any longer!"

He planned for the Fire Spirit to stay and watch over things, as he must return to Ling Mountain.

However, just as he turned to speak to the Fire Spirit—

Buzz!

An indescribable thrill emanated from the lake’s heart!

Lee Zhen whipped around, only to see the giant chunk of Profound Ice encasing the Little Fox suddenly light up with dazzling brilliance!

It was not a single light, but flames of various colors containing terrifying energy erupting from within the Little Fox!

Crimson, eerie blue, pale, dark purple...

One by one, the Anomalous Fires, like living spirits, broke free from the ice’s confinement, suspended above the Little Fox’s head, slowly rotating.

"What is this...?!" Lee Zhen’s pupils contracted sharply, instinctively stepping back half a step, his level 89 spiritual power circulating instinctively, activating the Phoenix Arm.

He felt a shiver from the depths of his soul, a reverence facing a higher level of energy.

What followed was an even more astonishing scene.

A five-colored Anomalous Fire storm of over a hundred meters in diameter formed out of thin air with the Little Fox at the center!

Wherever the storm raged, the so-called everlasting snow mountain ice melted as if spring snow met blazing sun, rapidly dissolving at a visible pace!
