Immortal through Beast Taming-Chapter 451 - 22: Successor of the Demon Emperor?

The land of wind and snow, Dragon Spine Mountain.

This place is named after the spine of an empire-level dragon, which once fell here and is now eternally encased in ice on the mountain.

The one who slew this empire-bloodline dragon was the master of the snow mountain, a piece of Immortal Ice that had developed sentience.

Dragon Spine Mountain has no other creatures, only endless winter, making it an absolute forbidden territory rarely approached by living beings from the outside world.

However, today amidst the howling cold wind, a solitary figure dressed in a black robe suddenly appeared, standing suspended in the sky over the mountain, projecting a domineering divine sense outward.

"Found it..." Under the black hood, a glint flashed in the eyes of the Celestial Demon avatar, lifting an arm high, as the sky above split open with a spatial rift, from which emerged a massive black arm.

Boom!

Terrifying magic power emanated from the arm, and at this moment, deep within the mountain where the Snow God, usually only awakened by the summoning of the Immortal Spirit of the Seas, suddenly opened its eyes to gaze toward the sky.

"Celestial Demon Sect..."

"Courting death."

The Snow God, born of sentience from the Immortal Ice, typically appears in human form, manifested as a giant woman composed entirely of snow and ice, over a hundred meters tall, like a deity.

Her form descends from the blizzard, and with a twist of her arm, she immediately controls the endless cold wind to engulf the uninvited guest, Lin Jing. Simultaneously, the Celestial Demon avatar burns lifespan to raise its cultivation to the peak of the Divinity Transformation Realm using the Celestial Demon Body!

With no discrepancy in cultivation, the Celestial Demon arm, resonating with the demonic bloodline, exploded with even more terrifying magic power, giving the Snow God a slight sense of alarm.

Demonic bloodline!

"Could it be... no, it’s not."

She looked at the Celestial Demon avatar, determining that Lin Jing was another demon star with a demonic bloodline aside from the Demon Sect’s Saint Son, though their auras were vastly different, seemingly not the same person.

"Even if you possess a demonic bloodline..." the Snow God coldly snorted. Although the demonic bloodline was frightening, she did not fear it, having faced the Celestial Demon Finger from the Celestial Demon arm countless times.

The cold wind tried to freeze the Celestial Demon arm, but what unfolded next caught the Snow God by surprise. Lin Jing did not employ the conventional Celestial Demon Finger; instead, from behind him, a massive arm conjured a sword of frost out of thin air, slashing its light at the attacking blizzard!!!

Buzz!!!

The Ice Soul Gu completely fused with the Celestial Demon avatar, granting it a near-Void Profound level of sword dao mastery. The fusion of the Celestial Demon Finger and the all-encompassing Sword Intent that can integrate into any magic allowed the avatar to strike beyond the Divinity Transformation Realm!!

Boom!!

The storm shattered, the sword intent pierced through, causing the Snow God’s pupils to contract. The combination of the Celestial Demon Finger and sword dao??

To her memory, there seemed to be no prodigy from the Celestial Demon Sect with such a combat style... Who exactly was this person?

Not only did he possess the rare demonic bloodline, but he also improved the Celestial Demon Finger, perfectly merging it with sword dao. What was such a prodigy from the Celestial Demon Sect aiming to do on her territory?

"That old friend of Elder Leilong turned out to be a genius, whose talent in sword dao is no less than the Heaven-Sundering Sword Ancestor, perhaps even stronger."

The Celestial Demon Finger is already a highly perfected magic, capable of unleashing extreme power on its own. The only person capable of further refining it was a top figure like the Celestial Revenge Demon Emperor, who possessed a demonic bloodline.

For an ordinary person to imitate the Celestial Revenge Demon Emperor by wielding a sword in the Celestial Demon arm, even without conflicting forces nullifying each other, would be like offering incense in gratitude, as both sword intent and magic power are highly domineering forces.

However, the mixed-element Sword Intent of that sword dao prodigy friend of Elder Leilong can combine with other daos to form new sword intents, with a high compatibility with all magics. This greatly eased Lin Jing’s incorporation of the two magics.

The fusion of the avatar’s magic power and the Ice Soul Gu’s sword intent formed the Celestial Demon Sword Intent, forcing the Snow God to hurriedly muster more power of heaven and earth to defend.

Bang!!!

Countless blizzards exploded, freezing the Celestial Demon Sword Intent before the Snow God witnessed a more astonishing sight.

The Celestial Demon avatar calmly opened its mouth, while behind him floated eight sword-wielding Celestial Demon arms!!

The stance of the Eight-arm Celestial Demon exuded enormous pressure.

This wasn’t because Lin Jing’s avatar had cultivated eight Celestial Demon arms in his Celestial Demon Finger mastery; rather, it was the illusionary mushroom following him, using that actual arm as a template, creating seven others through illusion.

With the Void Reversal Technique, the illusion became reality, achieving a perfect semblance of authenticity. Although its power surely differed from true Celestial Demon arms, with the Sword Array Technique, it equally provided a significant boost to the Celestial Demon avatar.

"I’ve heard you have celestial sources here. I just arrived in this realm and have yet to see what a celestial source looks like. Hand over the celestial source, and I’ll spare your life." The demonic voice echoed across the sky.

......

The great battle on Dragon Spine Mountain raged for several days, its shocking combat ripples sensed by an increasing number of cultivators, spreading blizzards over vast expanses turning them into icy snow domains.

In the depths of the void, on a massive meteor, sat a black-haired young man.

His aura was terrifying, each breath causing a violent vibration in the surrounding space.

This was Sheng Kun, the Saint Heir of the Celestial Demon Sect, who, when his avatar descended to rescue a pet, appeared unscathed but found his realm nearly destabilized afterward, prompting him to seclude himself for suppression, preventing an accidental breakthrough ejecting him from the Origin Realm.

During this seclusion, Sheng Kun grew restless, knowing that if Lin Jing fell into the hands of the Cultivation Alliance, the balance between the two forces in the Origin Realm would undoubtedly be disrupted...

This restlessness persisted until a dark shadow descended beside him.

The Celestial Demon Hundred Division...

Sheng Kun glanced over: "Demon Shadow, what intelligence is there from the Cultivation Alliance side?"

"Your Highness, the information doesn’t stem from the Cultivation Alliance, but another possessor of a demonic bloodline has arrived in the Origin Realm!!"

"Hmm?"

"The individual fought to a standstill with the Snow God on Dragon Spine Mountain, even forcing out the Snow God’s Immortal Ice origin. Later, due to other spirit monsters supporting the Snow God, they left. The power demonstrated was extraordinarily terrifying, seemingly even surpassing that of a certain notable person!"

"Whose successor?" Sheng Kun inquired.

The Demon Shadow hesitated for a moment, then said, "Not a successor of any current Celestial Demon Realm magic-inquiring demon family. He is adept at wielding sword dao with the Celestial Demon arm, suspected to be inheriting the ’Eight-arm Celestial Demon Sword Dao.’ This secret technique was the magic of the long-missing Celestial Revenge Demon Emperor, of whom no others are known to possess!!"

"What?" Sheng Kun stood up, quite surprised, Celestial Revenge Demon Emperor?

"The one who never teamed up, conquering seven Cultivation Realms entirely by herself? Wasn’t she presumed dead!"

"Merely fallen into a star hole, presumably dead, but not definitively confirmed!" Demon Shadow responded.

"Indeed!!" Sheng Kun suddenly laughed maniacally. The Celestial Revenge Demon Emperor was among the top three female powerhouses in the Celestial Demon Realm, a terrifying witch whose disappearance had led the Demon Sect to mourn for a long time.

Now it seems she might not be dead and has even trained a successor.

"I want to meet this person, to personally confirm." Sheng Kun declared. If the Celestial Revenge Demon Emperor were alive, and he could secure her support, it would greatly favor his becoming the only Saint Heir of the Celestial Demon Sect. After all, this solitary powerhouse had never shown bias toward any faction, had no particular preferences, but now, with a disciple, certain decisions might not be hers to make. He just needed to build a good relationship with her successor, and the individual would naturally be aligned with his mark.
