Immortal through Beast Taming-Chapter 405 - 102: Scheming Cultivator

"Zhuo Mu... is dead?"

"He was actually refined into a pill alive..."

The cultivators from the Tianming Realm were greatly shocked.

This outcome was something they had not anticipated at all.

Zhuo Mu not only failed to kill his opponent but instead perished himself! 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

It should be known that when a cultivator in the Grotto Heaven loses power, a teleportation protection mechanism is triggered.

The reason Zhuo Mu was confident in hunting his opponent was that his Treasure Beast’s divine technique continuously worsened the condition and was incurable. Even if the carp was teleported back while in a dying state, as long as the cultivators in the Celestial Essence Realm had no healing means, it would still die quickly off the platform.

The Grotto Heaven only handled teleportation, not healing.

Zhuo Mu didn’t believe a group of Nascent Soul cultivators would possess immortal-level healing items and willingly use them to heal a pet beast.

Therefore, Zhuo Mu’s plan was not to finish his opponent on the platform.

However, the result was beyond the expectations of the Tianming side. Zhuo Mu’s opponent not only possessed healing Immortal Fire but managed to kill Zhuo Mu on the platform despite the protection mechanism of the Grotto Heaven. This scene was truly terrifying.

Even the cultivators from his own side witnessed this act with dilated pupils.

Especially Alchemist Du Zao, who suddenly felt parched and muttered, "Live refining... definitely a Demon Dao alchemy technique."

Moreover, to quickly refine a Nascent Soul Treasure Beast like that undoubtedly relied on the power of Immortal Fire, but it was also inseparable from the fire control insight of the carp dragon itself.

He looked at Lin Jing in astonishment.

The first to understand why the carp dragon could kill the opponent on the platform.

Because the Funeral Cauldron’s divine technique wasn’t directly aimed at killing the opponent.

In the pill furnace, the condition of the Treasure Beast was far from reaching the critically injured state.

It was like "boiling a frog in warm water," where the "moment of pill completion" was just an instant, akin to a moment when alchemy skills burst forth with enormous power to instantly kill the opponent, rendering the Grotto Heaven protection mechanism unable to respond.

"Zhuo Mu... is truly dead..."

At this moment, the cultivators from the Tianming Realm still couldn’t accept that Zhuo Mu, regardless of anything, was among the top-ranked disciples in the Immortal Palace Nascent Soul.

Also, a "pet" beloved by a prominent figure.

Just like that, he died in the Grotto Heaven battle...

Died at the hands of one of a Beast Taming Cultivator’s pet beasts, with no room for resistance.

"There’s no time to mourn Zhuo Mu; the Celestial Essence Realm has already earned four points. If they get three more, we’re finished."

"The next battle is crucial, Senior Sister Tian Lian, Senior Brother Lü, what should we do?"

The Female Cultivator of the Sound Path looked tense; she didn’t want to fall in rank.

"Celestial Essence Realm..." Yuan Liu with the Void Body, lying on the ground healing, had a frightened expression. This Celestial Essence Realm was stronger than imagined; this was not good.

"There’s no way."

Lü Wangshu, with the Taiyin Taoist Body, looked at the platform and said, "Let’s cancel the original sequence. I’ll go next."

"Only by winning this match does the Tianming Realm have a hope to turn the tide."

"Otherwise, if we lose this one, even if I win the final four-point match, it would mean nothing."

"But..." Yue E said, "Even if Senior Brother Lü takes 3 points, it will only be 4:5. If, by any chance, in the battle for the last 4 points, Senior Sister Tian Lian..."

Lü Wangshu looked at the pondering Tian Lian and said, "Don’t worry, the information you revealed to the enemy earlier is just a superficial part."

"If pushed, even I wouldn’t want to be her enemy."

"Junior Sister Tian Lian, if I win these 3 points, can you ensure that, regardless of whether the opponent for the 4 points is strong or weak, you can handle it? Even if it means employing that one move."

"After all, if we let you fight for this match, with your temperament, you may not be willing to pin the ultimate hope of victory on me and choose to use that move at great cost."

Tian Lian said helplessly, "Indeed, I am not one to pin the outcome on others, but if I have to be the one to decide the final result, I will do whatever it takes to win when it comes to that."

"That’s good then." Lü Wangshu said, "Earlier, she revealed only part of her information to the opponent, but in reality, she can force activate her power, pushing the power of the ’Heavenly Destruction Divine Technique’ to the peak of Divinity Transformation stage. However, at that time, even her Divine Pity Body will not be completely immune to the Celestial Tribulation."

"The Celestial Tribulation will still descend, but due to the uniqueness of her body, it will subconsciously avoid her, thus causing indiscriminate destruction to the surroundings, making it uncontrollable even for her at that time. This is her strongest trump card."

"The indiscriminate heavenly thunder capable of exterminating Divinity Transformation cultivators, plus briefly peaking Divinity Transformation mana, is definitely unmatched by ordinary Nascent Soul stage cultivators."

"But forcing the activation will cause backlash from the cultivation technique, definitely leading to a drop in realm, which would have almost the same consequences as losing the fight for Tianming Realm, if not worse."

"Yes." Tian Lian nodded and said, "So I wouldn’t go this far unless it is a critical moment, because if I win 3 points this way, and Senior Brother Lü loses the four-point battlefield, my situation would be dreadful. Although, I find it hard to imagine anyone in the Nascent Soul Stage able to defeat Senior Brother Lü."

"Then you will decide the final victory or defeat. Do not let me down, but if it really comes to a point where you need to forcefully operate, I will compensate for your loss in rank as long as... the Tianming Realm can ultimately attain victory."

Lü Wangshu, with the Taiyin Taiyin Tao Body, walked towards the platform. The time had come. He was now very curious which cultivator from the Celestial Essence Realm side would come next.

Would it be that Beast Master?

According to the Beast Taming Technique, a Nascent Soul stage Beast Taming Cultivator can contract four pet beasts.

Just now, they have already sent out two, which cannot take the stage again.

If the other two are equally strong, then it would be quite a fight.

Or, will this Beast Taming Cultivator’s combat strength be reduced to nothing after sending two pet beasts, leaving them unable to take the stage, allowing another cultivator to ascend the platform?

As Lü Wangshu pondered, the Celestial Essence Realm side also made their decision.

"Lin, do you want my spot?" Ling Yue Sword Immortal, stroking the restless Spirit Sword, gestured for it to calm down, "Even though I am confident in claiming victory and defeating one of the two remaining, I have no assurance of an easy win. Even if victorious, it would likely come at a severe cost."

"And I remember, under the rules of the Grotto Heaven, the better you perform in battle, the wider and better the quality of Divine Body Pills you can choose from, right?" Feng Ning smiled at Lin Jing and said, "Can you still crush these two? If not, fight for me; this way, the rewards would be better."

"When the time comes, if there’s a Divine Body Pill suitable for me, I’ll spend some resources to buy it. If there isn’t one for me, then it’s yours."

Lin Jing paused, thinking you’re really calculating; you’re not a Sword Cultivator, but a cunning one.
