Immortal through Beast Taming-Chapter 469 - 40: Celestial Demon of Slaughter

Years passed, and five years later.

A new Immortal Source is about to be born. Regardless of whether the cultivators of various factions are ready or not, the march of time has not stopped, drawing ever closer to the Millennial Battle.

"The Immortal Source has been born!!!" 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

One day, an immortal light streaked across the heavens, illuminating the four directions like a shock of thunder.

Upon witnessing the light, countless young geniuses surged forth. Unlike previous ordinary immortal sources, this superior Immortal Source did not favor anyone, appearing in a desolate land. Hence, nearly no one could wield the advantage as the ocean spirit monsters did last time.

"Ten years remain..."

In Immortal City, Li Tianyi, dressed in a white robe, stood amidst the clouds. Chaos permeated in his eyes, knowing the time of his departure was not far away.

"Let’s see how that guy performs." On the remnant of a wall in the void, Sheng Kun, in an uninhabited realm, displayed a feminized expression of her initial form. She closed her eyes, uncertain of the possession status of the Magic Taro.

In the Source Realm’s outer heavens, Stardust Realm.

A stone figure, blemished all over and with a faint starlight enveloping its body, sat quietly on the starry throne, bathed in the vast starlight.

"Let her... come in." The stone figure spoke calmly, looking at the subordinate entering. The silver-white rock hound immediately prostrated, then exited the hall.

Moments later.

A creature resembling an ice sea angel slowly descended into the Hall of the Meteor Immortal Spirits. Its entire body was semi-transparent, with a sea-blue crystal in the center, and it was flapping transparent wings, descending from the sky.

"Canghai."

"State your purpose."

The Meteor Immortal Spirit looked at the Canghai Immortal Spirit... as the strongest two Immortal Spirits of the Source Realm, besides competing for the crucial Immortal Source, they rarely met and did not possess a good relationship.

"This time, I wish to collaborate with you, to first expel the two humans to avoid any unforeseen changes." Canghai Immortal Spirit emitted a voice indistinguishable as male or female: "You must have felt it too."

"The Power of Destiny in the Source Realm is strangely shifting. My subordinates, proficient in divination, deduced that some humans are devouring this power."

"You’re adept at divination yourself, surely you sense that if things continue, the loss and gain will be detrimental to the battle in ten years."

"Hence, I propose... Before the birth of the superior Immortal Source, we ambush the Cultivation Union and Celestial Demon Sect, driving Li Tianyi and Sheng Kun out of this realm, and then compete with each other for the superior Immortal Source."

"It’s indeed peculiar..." the Meteor Immortal Spirit slowly spoke: "The Power of Destiny in the Source Realm has always favored spirit monsters born of the Source Realm’s heavens and earth. What methods have these humans employed to usurp what originally belonged to us."

"Though for now it doesn’t signify much, in the long run, the consequences are unimaginable..."

"You attack Sheng Kun, I’ll go for Li Tianyi," said Canghai Immortal Spirit: "Unlike previous times, this millennium, Celestial Demon Sect and Cultivation Union have exhausted their strengths, producing only Sheng Kun and Li Tianyi as human geniuses who can shoulder great responsibilities..."

"Apart from these two, there are no Divinity Transformation geniuses within the Source Realm or beyond that can threaten us."

"Even if after fighting them, both of us are gravely injured, no other human genius could seize the opportunity."

...

When the two Immortal Spirits met, it was the zenith of the intense struggle for the Immortal Source. Ocean spirit monsters, star realm spirit monsters, celestial demon cultivators, alliance cultivators, various loose cultivators — countless cultivators scrambled madly around this Immortal Source.

"Thank goodness that fellow who manipulates immortal corpses isn’t here this time!"

"His pet beast was slain, his essence damaged; it would take decades of recuperation to restore his condition."

"Though we must be wary of that Magic Taro, wondering if he might suddenly appear! He assassinated the Slaughter Immortal Body! That wretch, always striking by surprise."

"He captured the Slaughter Immortal Body alive, evidently for possession. Possession drains energy drastically, even after a successful possession, one must adapt to the new body for a long time. If I were him, I’d surely consolidate for a long while before embarking on adventures. Plus, whether he can succeed in the possession is another matter altogether."

In each century, a few exceptional geniuses emerge; this century saw Magic Taro and Lin Jing. Yet, the Source Realm folks were relieved that these two seemed unable to emerge anytime soon.

However.

The cultivators of the Source Realm underestimated Magic Taro’s pace in possession. Normally, possession indeed exhausts energy and time, even for celestial demon cultivators. It requires time to assimilate new power.

But Magic Taro is rather unique, advancing rapidly with the assistance of Ice Soul Gu. The inherent talent of gu insects is to manipulate others’ bodies, and with Ice Soul Gu’s aid, Magic Taro’s possession faced little peril.

The adverse effects of possessing the Slaughter Immortal Body, with massive heart demon power and slaughter aura backlash, were cleverly countered by the Purity Divine Body Magic Taro possesses.

Thus...

Puff————

Within the battlefield for the Immortal Source, as a light streaked across the void, several cultivators were forced to unveil their Primordial Spirit, watching helplessly as a void fissure leading to the Immortal Source unexpectedly appeared, staring fearfully in one direction.

"Who!!"

"This time’s Immortal Source... it’s mine." On the path of the void, a figure with red hair and black attire descended slowly. Witnessing this familiar silhouette, many cultivators’ pupils contracted in disbelief.

"What a joke, coming so quickly..." Yan Yunshuang of the Cultivation Union looked at Magic Taro in shock, unable to fathom how the opponent not only successfully possessed the Slaughter Immortal Body but also fully absorbed its power in just a few years.

The earlier sword did not target anyone directly, but the killing intent embedded within made many cultivators feel a threat to their lives, abandoning their human form in escape, yet that attack wouldn’t have harmed them.

Facing the more fearsome Magic Taro, many cultivators broke into cold sweats, remembering how the Slaughter Immortal Body threw the Source Realm into chaos a few years back. This demon who possessed the Slaughter Immortal Body appeared much more terrifying.

Not to mention other factions, even among the Celestial Demon Sect, the expressions of several Demon Stars at the scene were sour since Magic Taro seizing the Immortal Source wouldn’t benefit them. Only Sheng Kun’s underling, the Celestial Demon Hundred Units present, showed joyful expressions.

For they formed a mutual interest community with Magic Taro, understanding he is the successor found by His Highness the Saint Son!!

If nothing unforeseen happens, upon His Highness the Saint Son’s departure, they will pledge allegiance to this individual.

Thus, the stronger Magic Taro, the happier they were.

"Mature Demon Bloodline, Slaughter Immortal Body..."

Eventually, in the Stardust Realm, upon realizing the Immortal Source was acquired by a celestial demon cultivator, Canghai and Meteor Immortal Spirits were indifferent. Though Magic Taro’s talent and potential showcased were strong, they were far from threatening their power.

In fact, employing core followers could settle the matter.

With the Millennial Battle approaching, following orders from the two, truly powerful spirit monster generals amongst their subordinates remained concealed, conserving strength without participating over this ordinary Immortal Source, waiting patiently for the Millennial Battle.

Compared to the superior Immortal Source, this ordinary Immortal Source truly counts for nothing.

As for Magic Taro... they prepared to resolve him in their subsequent assault.

"Awaken the army..."

Under the awakening of the two Immortal Spirits, countless descendants slumbering within empty Immortal Source shells, enlightened by the two, began to awaken.
