Immortal through Beast Taming-Chapter 471 - 42: Assassination Attempt
The Yin-Yang Demon Ancestor was furious, determined to exterminate Lin Jing.
"Reopen the source world portal and deliver my decree to Sheng Kun!"
"Yes..."
Ma Lin lowered her head in terror, never expecting such a turn of events.
Soon after.
The Yin-Yang Demon Ancestor gathered several ordinary Seeking Dao Cultivators among his subordinates to reopen a passage to the source world.
Ma Lin had left the source world through the Celestial Demon Body. After her realm dropped, she remained in the Divinity Transformation Realm and could return.
As soon as she arrived at the source world, she hurriedly rushed to where the Saint Heir was, both anxious and fearful.
"Your Highness the Saint Son———"
Saint Kun, who was meditating amidst the chaotic void stones, frowned and looked toward the panicked subordinate who barged in.
"Returned so quickly?"
"What does the elder say?"
Saint Kun was surprised; she thought selecting a successor for such an important matter would at least require the elder to deliberate for a long time and negotiate with various forces, but how long had it been...
"Your Highness the Saint Son, urgent news, six months ago, the Celestial Revenge Demon Emperor returned to the demon world. It is rumored he was not harmed outside, confirmed by the elder that the Celestial Revenge Demon Emperor never had a successor. This konjac... is impersonating, likely an undercover agent from the Cultivation Alliance!!!" Ma Lin shouted excitedly, taking out the elder’s decree.
Boom!!!
The next moment, within the void cave mansion, meteors exploded everywhere, and a terrifying demonic aura rose from Saint Kun. Although her expression was indifferent, Ma Lin felt an extremely terrifying aura, as if the world was about to collapse.
"Is that so..."
Saint Kun spoke coldly.
"The elder wants Your Highness the Saint Son... to kill this person, strip his demon clan bloodline... and send it back to the Demon City," Ma Lin whispered.
"Upon reflection, indeed, I was too hasty. Because Li Tianyi gained a powerful helper, I was completely unguarded against this ’Celestial Revenge Demon Emperor’s successor’..."
"Konjac... dare to deceive me, now... have you thought about how to die?"
Having just given the konjac the Immortal Source, a century-old treasure of great importance to the Yin-Yang Demon City, as well as the Immortal Artifact Cosmos Dao Flag for cultivation, receiving such intelligence in return, drove Saint Kun into an uncontrollable rage.
"I’ll be back shortly."
In an instant, her figure disappeared, following the mark she left on the Immortal Artifact to trace konjac’s whereabouts. Meanwhile, konjac had just returned to Longji Snow Mountain, the territory he seized from the Snow God.
He didn’t have specific requirements for cultivation locations, choosing this place purely for the convenience of feeding the Ice Soul Gu.
And around the snow mountain, to safely possess the Slaughter Immortal Body back then, konjac and his allies set up multiple grand arrays. Currently, these arrays successfully protected konjac.
Konjac excelled at assassination, while Saint Kun was even more proficient in this area.
Just as he was about to study the Cosmos Dao Array Flag, konjac suddenly sensed the multiple grand arrays being breached at an alarming speed.
One, two, three, effortlessly breaking through, giving him a chill colder than Longji Snow Mountain down his spine.
"Run!!"
Konjac’s two external brains, the Ice Soul Gu and the Elemental Spirit, also shouted in shock, but an enraged Saint Kun had already pushed her power to the limit by now.
This power at the peak of the source world was something ordinary cultivators couldn’t possibly withstand.
Bam!!!
The void before konjac exploded, and the illusory shadow of a finger as vast as the sky pointed at him. In an instant, konjac felt the gap between them.
"You———"
The consummate Slaughter Immortal Body exploded directly.
The invincible physical form he had just possessed after taking over was instantly destroyed.
Fortunately, though, the array’s warning upon breaching allowed konjac to react, saving the crucial Celestial Demon Primordial Spirit from this blow.
Ice Soul Gu and the Elemental Spirit, merged with the Celestial Demon Primordial Spirit, swallowed nervously as Saint Kun descended, realizing konjac’s identity might have been exposed.
They hadn’t yet restored konjac’s memories, merely forcibly controlling his Primordial Spirit to turn and flee.
With the mountains remaining, there’s no fear of lacking firewood. The destruction of the physical body didn’t matter at all.
The key to a Celestial Demon Cultivator lies in this Celestial Demon Primordial Spirit, where both the bloodline origin and the Slaughter Immortal Body’s Immortal Body origin reside.
As long as he later finds another body to possess, everything will return.
The Ice Soul Gu directly activated one of the magical treasures apportioned by the true self... the Immortal Palace Compass capable of random transmission!
"Trying to escape?"
Seeing konjac’s Primordial Spirit abandoning the physical body, Saint Kun snorted coldly, intending to intercept him, but in the next instant, her expression drastically changed as she saw a streak of starlight from beyond the sky crashing toward her.
"Meteor Immortal Spirit?!"
Saint Kun was baffled, unable to fathom why the Meteor Immortal Spirit suddenly attacked her, aiding konjac in escaping!!!
She wanted to intercept konjac, but now, faced with an attack from a being with even more profound foundations, she had to focus with all her might to fend off this blow!!!
"Huh?" The unexpected helping hand left the Ice Soul Gu and the Elemental Spirit astonished. Initially, they were unsure of escaping Saint Kun’s clutches.
They had prepared for the worst, but unexpectedly, there was even enough time for the Ice Soul Gu to quickly spit out cobwebs and drag the Immortal Artifact stuck in the snow mountain, then teleport away!
"Seems like I came just in time."
The Meteor Immortal Spirit observed Saint Kun, whose realm became unstable due to emotional excess and excessive mana expenditure, and chuckled. Though it didn’t know what happened, it seemed there was no need to seek an opportunity to ambush and kill Saint Kun.
The present was the best opportunity. If the fight continued, Saint Kun might passively breach the Void Profound and be ejected from the source world due to being unable to maintain her realm.
"Damn it."
Meanwhile, Saint Kun’s face was extremely dark, even beginning to suspect that konjac wasn’t an undercover agent sent by the Cultivation Alliance but was instead planted by the Meteor Immortal Spirit.
Given the time span of the Meteor Immortal Spirit’s existence in the source world, devising a method to cultivate a demon-blood cultivator didn’t seem impossible.
No matter, at this moment, Saint Kun felt utterly confused within, fearing mishandling the situation might mark her as the sinner of the Yin-Yang Demon City, causing the elder undue trouble.
"Once again controlled by emotions." She muttered, cursing inwardly for not maintaining composure, should have pretended nothing happened, letting konjac relax his guard before summoning companions to suppress him, rather than acting out of unprepared rage, allowing the adversary a chance to flee.
Before the battle against the Meteor Immortal Spirit began, Saint Kun directly issued a Holy Son Order, notifying all Celestial Demon Sect prodigies, issuing a kill order on konjac!!
Currently, konjac in the Primordial Spirit state was at his most vulnerable moment, with only a fraction of his combat power remaining, any demon star could solve it.
"Meteor, nice trick, never expected you native spirit monsters of the source world to interfere with the Celestial Demon Sect..." Holding the Holy Son Order, Saint Kun coldly glared at the stone person before her.
Meteor Immortal Spirit: "Ha?"
