Immortal through Beast Taming-Chapter 404 - 101: Dao Heart Shattered
The dragon carp stared at the morphing treasure beast, Zhuomu, recalling the instructions given to it by the Squirrel Spirit.
Standing below the arena, the Squirrel Spirit finally remembered what it had forgotten.
Originally, it intended to casually swipe the opponent’s storage pouch during the battle. However, it didn’t expect the opponent to be so weak; one Demon Pill Divine Technique was enough to trigger the protective mechanism of the Grotto Heaven.
In the arena battles of the interdimensional realm, the mechanism forcibly teleports the party that loses combat capability out of the arena, indirectly increasing the survival rate of defeated cultivators.
This meant that before the Squirrel Spirit could grab the storage pouch, the opponent had already been teleported away!
Learning from this experience, the Squirrel Spirit earnestly advised the dragon carp not to eliminate the opponent too quickly, so it could fulfill its wish!
"Bloop..." The dragon carp scratched its head, finding it quite bothersome, as it really had no interest in snatching others’ storage pouches.
It looked at the young man covered in feathers opposite, unable to detect where the opponent had hidden his storage pouch. Compared to the Squirrel Spirit, which was adept at the Path of Space, it simply wasn’t skilled at such things.
However, upon sensing the opponent’s killing intent, the dragon carp’s eyes sharpened. Though it disliked stealing storage pouches, it did enjoy doing more ruthless things...
"I don’t know why it’s another pet beast, but tough luck; the Celestial Ming Realm can’t afford to keep losing."
"For the victory of the Celestial Ming Realm, you will have to sacrifice yourself in this battle."
Zhuomu’s eyes, filled with killing intent, licked his lips. Although he had no personal grudge against the dragon carp, if he could slay it now, it would greatly benefit the Celestial Ming Realm.
Even though the dragon carp came alone, essentially it was still one with Lin Jing below the stage.
If he killed this carp, the Beast Taming Cultivator below, though not participating in the battle, would indeed suffer severe recoil from the pet beast’s death and contract rupture, which would affect his state.
The Celestial Ming Realm had noticed that Lin Jing wasn’t simple. Apart from the Squirrel Spirit and the Carp Spirit, there might be other powerful pet beasts. If so, to prevent Lin Jing and the remaining pet beasts from appearing together later, killing the lone dragon carp could indirectly severely damage Lin Jing, greatly increasing their chance of victory in subsequent battles.
"Looks like Zhuomu intends to kill this carp..."
"Well, let it die then, anyway, Celestial Ming Realm and Celestial Essence Realm have already severed connections, and it’s unlikely they will ever intersect again. Focus on the opportunities and victory in the Grotto Heaven," said the Sound Cultivator from Celestial Ming Realm.
Several people all implicitly consented to Zhuomu’s actions.
Meanwhile, people of the Celestial Essence Realm also felt that the treasure beast had developed killing intent toward the dragon carp.
But seeing Lin Jing’s calm expression, they felt reassured.
"Die———"
On the arena, like the Squirrel Spirit, Zhuomu immediately used his most powerful move, the treasure beast’s divine technique, Heavenly Peck, intending to end the battle quickly.
He soared into the air, his head morphing from human to bird-like, with a beak radiating a dazzling blue divine light.
With a "buzz", a stream of light resembling a long spear shot toward the dragon carp. Seeing this, the dragon carp squinted its large eyes, closing them slightly.
The dragon carp intended to dodge slightly, but found the surrounding space sealed.
"Thinking of escaping?" Zhuomu grinned, unleashing a spatial array flag, with a battle plan long prepared.
"Roar!!!"
The dragon carp, finding its escape route blocked, roared, deciding not to dodge. Flames in the shape of scales rose from its body, transforming instantly into a fiery qilin, choosing to endure the treasure beast divine technique head-on.
Boom!!!
As the dragon carp activated its cultivation technique to become the fiery qilin, its aura expanded several times over, revealing the full extent of its bloodline power. The might of its ancestral blood left the Celestial Ming Realm’s cultivators with pupils contracted in shock.
"What’s going on? The carp’s bloodline has reached the peak of the ancestral level! It’s a whole level higher than Zhuomu!"
For the dragon carp, its carp form wasn’t for battle. Its true bloodline strength was fully displayed only after transformation. This terrifying ancestral blood aura was quite shocking to Zhuomu, but in an instant, he spoke viciously:
"What of ancestral blood, compared to a treasure beast’s bloodline, it’s negligible."
Boom!!!
The Heavenly Peck Divine Technique slammed into the qilin-dragon’s armor, but to the disbelief of Celestial Ming Realm’s side, the terrifying power of the offensive treasure beast technique only left a white mark on the fiery qilin, not even shattering a scale.
"Enough, a scratch is also a wound."
While Zhuomu was awed by the dragon carp’s defense, he also showed a mocking smile, feeling that perhaps the opponent was underestimating his treasure beast divine technique.
In the next moment.
With the treasure beast’s power unleashed, cracking sounds continued non-stop, and the Celestial Ming Realm’s side breathed a sigh of relief. Despite the qilin’s terrifying physical toughness, the treasure beast Technique was an Immortal’s legacy, unreasonably potent.
Though only a "scratch," facing the inevitable deterioration from the "Heavenly Peck Divine Technique," the situation quickly imbalanced.
The wounds on the dragon carp’s body rapidly deteriorated from minor to major.
"Will it be alright..." The third prince spoke worriedly.
"Just watch," Lin Jing said plainly.
He glanced at Zhuomu, who again took out a top-grade defensive magical treasure, trying to buy time.
Is this the opponent’s treasure beast divine technique?
Indeed, it’s interesting.
However, it’s unfortunate.
According to Bai Yuran’s intelligence, this divine technique isn’t invincible. As long as there’s "Immortal-level healing resources or methods," it can be resolved.
"Roar..." And coincidentally, the dragon carp had something, ignoring the pecking bird, experiencing the opponent’s treasure beast divine technique on its own as the flames of the dragon scales slowly transformed into a healing "Life Healing Lotus Heart Flame."
"Useless..." Seeing the dragon carp trying to heal the rapidly cracking scales, Zhuomu chuckled, but the next instant, his expression changed drastically as the healing flame from the qilin-dragon emitted a wave of pure energy akin to immortal power, reaching an unimaginable quality, healing its wounds almost in the blink of an eye.
The Celestial Ming Realm cultivators who awaited victory all had their expressions change.
"Wait, is that Immortal Fire?" They were incredulous.
This demon beast actually wielded healing Immortal Fire?!
"Is this it???" From Celestial Essence Realm’s side, Du Zao, the alchemist, was in an enthusiastic frenzy.
Indeed, Lin Jing hadn’t deceived him!!
"Roar!!!"
And once healed, the dragon carp again set its sights on the stunned woodpecker, its form shifting once more, and a dragon-shaped figure slowly emerging from the soaring Lotus Heart Flame... spitting out a fireball like a dragon pearl toward Zhuomu.
However, the nature of the fire was akin to ghostly infernal flames of Hell.
"What is this!!!" The treasure beast Zhuomu was shocked because, as the dragon carp released flames, ghost flames also began burning his soul. Before Zhuomu could react, the dual flames touched and fused, transforming into a massive alchemical cauldron, entrapping him within!
"Help... I concede..." In soul-wrenching agony, Zhuomu wanted to admit defeat, realizing the opponent’s terrifying control over the flames, keeping them at a level that left him incapable of resisting but not losing consciousness. This caused Zhuomu intense fear, acknowledging his dire situation.
Yet before the Grotto Heaven could react, with a "pop" sound, in a wisp of blue smoke, the treasure beast demon race completely vanished from the arena, leaving behind nothing but a pill floating in the air.
This bizarre scene caused the cultivators of the Celestial Ming Realm to feel shivers, their minds almost collapsing.
What kind of joke is this.
At the same time, the dragon carp nonchalantly observed the refined cultivation golden core. Since the opponent had harbored killing intent towards it, the Dragon Emperor wasn’t to be trifled with. This treasure beast refined cultivation golden core would undoubtedly be a great tonic, possibly with some special effects... Looking back at the Beast Master, it was just about to boast...
"I don’t consume pills refined from humanoid demon beasts," Lin Jing stated mercilessly.
