Immortal through Beast Taming-Chapter 429 - 126: The Might of the Celestial Demon (End of Volume 4)
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!!!"
At the scene, only one person remained calm, and that was the Second Ancient Emperor.
He wasn’t truly calm but was forcing himself to appear composed, unable to believe the scene before him.
However, the Second Ancient Emperor’s heart was already churning like tumultuous waves.
Beside him, Gu Yurou also showed a look of shock. She hadn’t actually cultivated the True Dragon Secret Technique, but other cultivation techniques and Immortal Body. However, she had secretly sparred with her brother in the past.
Her Immortal Body was no match for the True Dragon Immortal Body.
She, like most people, believed this battle was without suspense. But now, Lin Jing’s single finger shattered the faith of all the Cultivators of the Ancient Race!
Not to mention outsiders, even among their own people, the Demon Emperor of the Demon Court was stunned, completely unaware of when Lin Jing acquired such exaggerated strength.
What was with this finger?
Not to mention Divinity Transformation, even a Cultivator who had just entered Void Profound would undoubtedly retreat three paces upon seeing it.
When... what happened?
Even if Lin Jing had cultivated the "Celestial Demon Scripture," there was no reason for this move to possess such power!
"Cough..." At this moment, Prince Gu only lost consciousness briefly. After a moment, he hovered in shock, looking down at the "quasi-immortal armor" he wore. One could say, thanks to this quasi-immortal artifact, otherwise, even with his Immortal Body, he might have disintegrated under that single finger.
He looked at the large cracks in the quasi-immortal armor, momentarily losing his ability to think. However, waiting for him was Lin Jing’s casual sweep of his Divine Sense.
Boom.
Under the power of the Celestial Demon Scripture and demon bloodline, the Divine Sense had transformed dramatically, nearly turning into a tangible black tsunami, smashing Prince Gu into the ground once again.
"The quasi-immortal armor is indeed remarkable." After observing that Prince Gu still retained consciousness following two moves, Lin Jing considered employing a second finger. The gigantic Celestial Demon arm that descended from the sky, forcing its way toward the ground, left the onlooking prodigies around utterly dumbstruck.
The prodigies who had earlier considered challenging Lin Jing now, upon witnessing that earth-shattering finger, felt a suffocating sensation.
"Is this... the magic of the Celestial Demon Sect?"
Water Spirit Su, the senior sister of the Water Moon Immortal Island, had the keenest perception among the many prodigies. Observing the Celestial Demon Finger, she instantly realized the outcome she would face against it.
Death!
A big, overwhelming word for "death" appeared in her mind. Even from an external perspective, her Taoist heart nearly shattered instantly, spitting out a mouthful of blood as heart demons brewed. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂
Bear in mind, Lin Jing was merely at the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul yet used the Celestial Demon Body and two Celestial Demon spells to crush an Immortal Body one great realm above him to this extent...
In an instant, those prodigies about to enter the Source Realm harbored an absurd thought.
If the Celestial Demon Sect prodigies in the Source Realm were like this... if the Celestial Demon Sect cultivators about to invade the Celestial Essence Realm were like this.
They might say, they saw no hope of victory for the Celestial Essence Cultivators against the Celestial Demon Cultivators.
As one Cultivator after another reacted, the figure of the Second Ancient Emperor had already stepped into the battlefield, standing beside Prince Gu, who was crushed to the ground by the Celestial Demon Divine Sense, personally taking the hit for him.
The scene at the Celestial Essence Grand Assembly instantly became the Ground of confrontation between the Second Ancient Emperor and Lin Jing.
"His Majesty the Ancient Emperor?" Lin Jing looked at the opponent, the intervention of the Second Ancient Emperor indicating Prince Gu had conceded defeat.
However, as a contest of the Tao, even if to block the strike, there was no need to personally arrive on the scene, right?
Unless, the Second Ancient Emperor intended to avenge Prince Gu, planning to oppress Lin Jing, this outrageous character, under the guise of strength.
Yet no matter how absurd, the Second Ancient Emperor wouldn’t do such a thing. Feeling the power of the Celestial Demon Finger, he finally understood. Besides the spell enhancement from the corresponding Cultivation Technique, there must be another special force significantly augmenting the spell. He wasn’t sure what it was, but undoubtedly it was inextricably linked to the Celestial Demon Sect.
Even the records left by the Ancient Country about the Celestial Demon Sect contained no trace of this power.
He couldn’t help but look deeply at Lin Jing.
"What is this power?" he inquired.
Lin Jing looked calmly at the Second Ancient Emperor and said, "The power mastered by the true core prodigies and core powerhouses of the Celestial Demon Sect."
"It’s a power feared and almost unreachable even for those peripheral members of the Celestial Demon Sect in the Celestial Essence Realm, like the Sect Leader."
"So, are you scared now?"
He looked not only at the dumbfounded Celestial Essence Taoist contenders but also at the pale-faced prodigies of the Celestial Essence Realm.
"This power, I haven’t yet completely developed it. If it were the completely developed prodigies or powerhouses of the Celestial Demon Sect, only more terrifying power would be unveiled."
"Unveiling it here is also a reminder to everyone. The cultivators from the Celestial Demon Realm are far stronger than you might think. If unprepared, after encountering them... the fate of the Celestial Essence Realm..."
"Why do you possess this power!!?" The Second Ancient Emperor nearly lost his composure, finding it hard to accept that the Immortal Body he had meticulously crafted to counter the Celestial Demon Sect was being so utterly dominated.
For the first time, he lost his regal demeanor, his gaze filled with panic, as if suddenly losing confidence in the Celestial Essence Realm. However, it was only momentary before he adjusted his mindset, regaining his composure.
He turned to leave, no longer concerning himself with Prince Gu, and slowly began to speak:
"This battle, you have won."
"It seems you are indeed worthy of this title of the number one prodigy in the Celestial Essence Realm."
"Everyone has their own opportunities. I won’t question how you acquired this power but still hope that before you all enter the Source Realm, you could have sparring sessions with each Celestial Essence prodigy about to enter it, let them... experience the true terror of the Celestial Demon power."
"Unless, besides you, all Celestial Essence prodigies who enter the Source Realm end up dead there, unable to return."
"That would be a loss for our Celestial Essence Realm."
As the Second Ancient Emperor finished speaking, Lin Jing looked at the encouraged Demon Emperor, accepting readily. It seems his strength left the master quite satisfied, making this journey worthwhile.
As for the request from the Second Ancient Emperor, Lin Jing was quite surprised but agreed readily. After all, he has stayed in the Celestial Essence Realm for this long, and although not a native, he doesn’t wish for this realm to be destroyed.
"Alright." Lin Jing looked at the prodigies, including the senior sister and the Ling Yue Sword Immortal, slowly beginning to speak, "Then following His Majesty the Second Ancient Emperor’s suggestion, in the time before heading to the Source Realm, let me help you experience the true power of the Celestial Demon!"
"For your own good, I... will not hold back."
As the words fell, the prodigies’ faces changed, what the hell, what’s with this Longevity Body they looked at the utterly miserable Prince Gu... wasn’t he the Saint Heir of the Beast Taming Sect? The Demon Court Saint Heir? Why does he look like he’s more ferocious than the former Sect Leader of the Celestial Demon Sect!
The journey to the Source Realm... Those originally confident prodigies now felt anxious, thinking of possibly encountering dozens or hundreds of "Lin Jing" in the Source Realm made the future seem bleak...
