Immortal through Beast Taming-Chapter 458 - 29: Nirvana Fire

"It’s you!!!"

After the Celestial Demon Cultivator who called himself Moyu said, "No prey has ever escaped from my clutches," a wrathful voice rose from a snow deity below.

She was precisely the Snow God who was robbed by Moyu last time.

Just as Moyu was about to pursue Lin Jing, he saw the Snow God and couldn’t help feeling displeased.

Because the Snow God was the very prey that escaped from his clutches last time.

Just when I was flaunting my might, you pop out to slap me in the face? Does Moyu not care about pride?

However, the Snow God appeared just at the right moment.

Moyu only glanced at her, and a void tore open behind the Snow God. Immediately, a sword light was swung with a speed as swift as the previous attack on Lin Jing.

The Snow God turned pale with fright, but an attack that Lin Jing couldn’t even react to, she also couldn’t evade successfully. Her entire body was sliced in two, emitting a painful wail.

"Immortal Ice Source!!!"

The Snow God was aghast, realizing that this strike directly shattered her Immortal Ice Source. Shocked, she thought to herself: two years ago, using her Immortal Ice Source, Moyu could only fight her to a draw or even slightly fell behind.

But now, two years later, he’s managed to damage her source in an instant. What had happened to him during these two years?

"Spirit Monster of nature, indeed hard to kill."

"If it were flesh and blood, you’d be dead by now."

Moyu looked at her indifferently, as he saw other Spirit Monsters under the command of the Ocean Immortal Spirit reacting to protect the Snow God. After leaving a remark, he departed under everyone’s gaze, preparing to chase Lin Jing.

A year ago, he used Immortal Qi to quickly elevate his Cultivation to the Great Perfection stage of Divinity Transformation.

However, relying solely on the Great Perfection stage of Divinity Transformation, Moyu believed it insufficient to kill Lin Jing head-on.

So over the next year, he diligently studied the dark assassination sword dao, integrating Void Traversal, Illusion Techniques, and the Eight-Armed Celestial Demon Sword Dao, striving for the ultimate in stealth, speed, and attack.

If direct combat makes it harder to kill the opponent, then ensuring the adversary is caught off guard drastically increases the chance of victory.

"What to do..." Lin Jing and Moyu left one after another, rendering the surrounding forces a bit stunned.

No one expected the battle for Immortal Source to be so thrilling.

"Chase them." Before long, some Cultivators decided to follow, hoping to profit while both sides exhaust each other.

...

Meanwhile.

After dozens of spatial jumps by the Pineleaf Mouse, Lin Jing had already been transported far away.

"Looks like the other body’s cultivation went well."

Lin Jing wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth; it made sense. The main body received the Immortal Source.

In two years, the Immortal Source only manifested two strands of Immortal Qi, which Lin Jing gave to the Pineleaf Mouse and Dragon Koi respectively.

Strengthened by Immortal Qi, the Pineleaf Mouse’s Glazed Immortal Pupil evolved directly. Originally at the Divinity Transformation Stage, it could only synthesize resources up to the fifth-tier, but with the power of Immortal Qi, it could now synthesize sixth-tier resources. Although the experiment almost cost the Pineleaf Mouse its life, the value of Immortal Qi undoubtedly showcased its enormity.

As for the Dragon Koi, bearing many powerful unusual flames and having merged its Flame Emperor Divine Techniques, after absorbing the Earth Core Immortal Fire, reached its limit. But thanks to the enhancement of Immortal Qi, its Flame Emperor Divine Techniques surpassed previous limits, further aiding it in merging powerful unusual flames it had acquired along its journey.

Subsequent enhancements may not be as pronounced as the first, yet the worth of Immortal Qi remains undeniable.

Furthermore, with the Saint Heir Sheng Kun’s investment, the avatar received a direct infusion of 100 strands of Immortal Qi, providing immense cultivation advantages.

"Come out."

Lin Jing summoned the dissected Dragon Koi. The two halves promptly transformed into flames, from which a phoenix cry echoed, swirling in the air before coalescing into a complete koi.

"Boo..." The Dragon Koi whimpered, its body aching, complaining about the severity of its performance.

Wasn’t it possible to avoid heavy injury using Illusion Techniques?

"Without truly dying, the performance can’t be perfect," Lin Jing spoke softly.

"Though our mastery of Illusion Techniques is high, with many prodigies at the scene, who knows if someone adept at Illusion Dao might spot the flaws."

"Comparatively, Nirvana Fire, even if exposed, poses no great concern."

The flames the Dragon Koi wielded were known as Nirvana Fire, derived from the Heavenly and Earth Sect’s flame spirit monster. Lin Jing exchanged a portion of the source, allowing the Dragon Koi to refine it.

Nirvana Fire allows entry into a special death state when faced with mortal injury, enabling rebirth using Flame Power, at the cost of being unable to use Flame Power for a period afterward.

Upon acquiring this unusual flame, Lin Jing meticulously planned today’s events, having the Ice Soul Gu awaken the avatar’s memories in anticipation.

"Even though the Immortal Source can’t be given to the avatar, letting him display unparalleled strength under everyone’s eyes and slay my pet beast while protected by an Immortal Beast in front of Sheng Kun is justified. Following this battle, the avatar should receive even greater cultivation support from Sheng Kun."

"On the main body side, I obtained the Immortal Source smoothly, albeit losing some face, it’s hardly a loss, especially since the pet beast isn’t truly dead."

"Most crucially, with the avatar stirring up trouble in this muddied water, it helps draw numerous eyes onto the main body, sparing me from dealing with various forces upon receiving the Immortal Source."

At this moment, after using spatial fly leaf coordinates to teleport away, the avatar focused on chasing the illusionary wood replica created by the Pineleaf Mouse. Unsurprisingly, others would also pursue Moyu and the wood replica, allowing the main body to return safely to Immortal City.

"Let’s keep moving."

Lin Jing called out to the panting Pineleaf Mouse.

The Pineleaf Mouse wiped away sweat, continuing its teleportations. These spatial fly leaves were synthesized to the fifth-tier, each akin to a spatial teleportation formation’s coordinate. In terms of teleportation distance, they surpassed Celestial Demon Traversal, although the cost remains substantial, requiring intensive effort from the fly leaf onward.

...

Swoosh!!

After a long while, elsewhere.

After slaying the wooden replica meant to confuse perceptions, Moyu stated, "Alright, this ends here."

With that, he took a Heart Gu Pill.

The amnesiac Moyu, with a cold demeanor, furious at failing to seize the Immortal Source.

"Lin Jing, I want you dead!!!"

The Elemental Spirit and Ice Soul Gu wiped their sweat.

"Boss, Boss, that kid ran too fast, there was no choice."

"Why don’t we go after that Snow God again, and snatch back the Immortal Source from last time?"

"Can’t come out for nothing."

The Ice Soul Gu tempted.

"You’re right." Moyu coldly turned back, facing the gathering forces’ Cultivators, saying, "Since they wish to profit as spectators, they should pay a price."
