Immortal through Beast Taming-Chapter 393 - 90: The Godchild’s Breakdown

"Impossible, absolutely impossible..."

Several hours later.

The Witch God’s Child, having slightly regained his composure, engaged in fierce battle with the Ice Soul Gu.

The Witch God’s Child believed he had extensive experience battling Gu insects, but the power of the Ice Soul Gu was truly beyond his expectations.

He had never seen a Gu insect capable of parasitically controlling the corpse of a Demon Ancestor without even reaching the Divinity Transformation Stage, let alone one at the peak of Void Profound!

"Awoo~~" Ultimately, the Ice Soul Gu chose to control the corpse of the Celestial Lion Ancestor, the strongest of the Demon Ancestor tier under Qingzhou’s inquiry.

Normally, even if the Ice Soul Gu managed to unite the Nine Gu, it would be nearly impossible to perfectly control the corpse of a Void Profound peak Demon Beast, but its current bloodline had transcended to more than just the level of an extraordinary Gu.

Its incarnation was crafted by merging the bloodline of the immortal Treasure Beast with the Blood of Gu God, offering it augmented power to control corpses with mastery and the partial essence of death.

Confronting the terrorizing physical strength of the Celestial Lion Ancestor, the Witch God’s Child once again felt an overwhelming sense of helplessness akin to facing a quasi-Immortal Artifact.

Although the Celestial Lion Ancestor was deceased, a skinny camel is still larger than a horse; Demon Beasts are known for their physical prowess, and even in death, their sheer physical power could instill despair in an early-stage Divinity Transformation cultivator.

Boom!

The great lion’s paw whipped forth, sending the Witch God’s Child’s form tumbling thousands of meters away like a cascading mountain.

"Awoo~~!" The Ice Soul Gu pressed its advantage, although it could control the corpse of a Void Profound Demon Ancestor, its energy was dissipating rapidly; under such conditions, it needed to decide the battle with the Witch God’s Child within mere minutes!

"Alright then..."

Meanwhile, atop a certain summit, upon seeing that the Ice Soul Gu could suppress the Witch God’s Child, the Mechanical Turtle understood; indeed, Lin Jing’s raised pet beasts should not be underestimated, each was abnormal.

...

Soon after.

The Fortune Golden Ranking List shifted.

This was a change in the top ten of the Fortune Golden Ranking List, and every cultivator immediately took notice.

As mana condensed in their eyes, one cultivator after another revealed looks of incomprehension.

Fortune Golden Ranking List, ninth place, Ice Soul Gu, cultivation level: Half-Step Divinity Transformation, reason for ranking: defeated the Witch God Hall’s saint child Ta Wu.

"Absurd, what is going on."

In a snow-covered nation, within the snow plains, inside a Totem Temple, the robust Totem Saint Child emerged into the wind and snow, looking incredulously at his own drop from the top ten rankings.

"That guy Ta Wu was... defeated by the pet beast of the Demon Court Saint Child, by a mere extraordinary Gu?!"

The Totem Saint Child couldn’t accept that due to Ta Wu’s defeat, he fell out of the top ten!

The solitary rank of the Ice Soul Gu on the Golden Ranking List caused a huge stir throughout the Celestial Essence Continent; for nearly ten thousand years, the Witch God Hall and Gu God Sect had dealings without anyone anticipating that the Witch God Hall’s Saint Child would be taken down by a single extraordinary Gu.

"..." In the Sea God Palace, Mist Forest, some geniuses who were displeased with the power faction paying Lin Jing protection fees to maintain rank, gazed at the shifting Golden Ranking List, lost in contemplation.

What a joke; Lin Jing himself burned life longevity to enter the top ten with his Celestial Demon Body, and even now, one of his pet beasts could enter the top ten alone?

Rumor has it, Gu insects and containers must blend to unleash perfect strength, and these geniuses couldn’t dare to imagine how strong Lin Jing and the Ice Soul Gu could be when merged.

After all, Lin Jing seemed to rely purely on his own strength, scarcely utilizing his pet beasts, defeating the Martial Emperor’s disciple.

"This Demon Court Saint Child..."

As soon as the Golden Ranking List was climbed, the Ice Soul Gu immediately sensed an augmentation in enlightenment, marveling in wonder.

Most abilities of the Ice Soul Gu were inscribed in its bloodline, having undergone countless cycles of improvement to their zenith; there simply needed systematic bloodline power elevation for its ability levels to rise.

It’s rare for an extraordinary Gu to cultivate other skills, but now, the Ice Soul Gu felt that merely the innate abilities carried by the Gu insect were close to no longer satisfying it.

"Sword Dao, Sword Dao..." The Ice Soul Gu resolved to begin cultivating the "Mighty Sword Dao" from Lin Jing, which he wanted it to learn, aided by the Mighty Sword Intent gifted by the Thunder Dragon Ancestor, believing it could quickly grasp the basics; besides, Lin Jing also had a life-saving inquiry level Sword Intent granted by Feng Ning, which could serve as another reference.

Soon after, defeated at the hands of the Ice Soul Gu, the Witch God’s Child Ta Wu once again recovered from despair.

He lost.

Lost miserably.

Just as Ta Wu intended to return to the Witch God Hall within the Cloud Sea Mountain Range, bearing shame, another carp blocked his path.

"Bop..." The Dragon Carp stared blankly at the Witch God’s Child, its intent clear, following the Ice Soul Gu, it also sought to challenge the Witch God’s Child. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

"Lin Jing’s flame Treasure Beast, Dragon Carp..." The Witch God’s Child’s expression changed; what was this now, following the turtle and the spider, did he now have to fight this carp?

"Late-Stage Nascent Soul! Are you even worth mentioning?" The Witch God’s Child raged; being hammered by a quasi-Immortal Artifact controlling Divinity Transformation Turtle was excusable, and being overwhelmed by a half-step Divinity Transformation extraordinary Gu controlling a Demon Ancestor peak corpse was tolerable, but now, even a late-stage Nascent Soul carp aimed to defeat him?

The Dragon Carp, initially at Mid-Stage Nascent Soul, had recently, through consuming a large quantity of cultivation pills, fortunately broken through to Late-Stage Nascent Soul; regretfully, time wasn’t on its side, or rather, it preferred attaining Nascent Soul Great Perfection before confronting the Witch God’s Child.

But Late-Stage Nascent Soul was also feasible.

After all, given the lengthy practice period, it had mostly mastered handling Immortal Fire...

"Bop..." Slighted by the Witch God’s Child, the Dragon Carp squinted, the ancestral bloodline pressure slowly permeating, purely by virtue of its ancestral bloodline it matched up fairly against the Witch God’s Child.

For given time to grow, reaching the peak of Void Profound was the height of the Witch God’s Child’s potential, with little chance of inquiry; an ancestral bloodline guaranteed becoming a Void Profound Demon Ancestor...

And this was only the beginning, as merging from the ancestral bloodline came the top-tier beast fire "Dragon Scale Flame," manifesting, having been nurtured through mutilating several Void Profound, Divinity Transformation, and countless Nascent Souls the top-tier ghost fire "Netherworld" surfaced...

Containing properties of time, the top-tier beast fire "Chrono Candle Flame," embodying the force of celestial thunder the top-tier exotic flame "Thunder Heaven Blaze" emerged...

Moreover, the most fearsome from Immortal Burial Volcano the quasi-Immortal Fire "Solar Essence Fire" appeared, alongside others like Life Healing Lotus Heart Flame, Crystal Flame, and various elite exotic flames all a storm of essence manifest behind the Dragon Carp, the complexion of the Witch God’s Child altered drastically.

In the moment, these elite flames, any one sheerly showcased, could threaten the Witch God’s Child, especially that quasi-Immortal Fire Solar Essence Fire, refined successfully under the Demon Emperor’s aid, which assured the Witch God’s Child that the carp harbored the prowess to challenge him across levels.

Yet, what split his gaze was this bunch of horrific flames, now shockingly merged into one ensemble... As it pulsated with a chilling force, the Witch God’s Child was most haunted by the fire which surpassed even the Witch God Hall Great Elder’s Celestial Tribulation trials, in terror and purity manifold.

"Immortal-grade flame?"

At this moment, he finally understood why back then when this carp was merely Early-Stage Nascent Soul it managed to defeat the Nascent Soul Great Perfection Sun Temple Saint Child.

"Monster!" He cursed lowly, spinning on his heel to flee, he rather be struck by quasi-Immortal Artifacts, or battered by Demon Ancestor corpses, but refused to be burnt by a flame that should not have arisen in the lower realm - that Immortal-grade flame!
