Immortal through Beast Taming-Chapter 484 - 55: Devil’s Taro Delight

Freedom...

The Taiyin Body prodigies present, although they had all resigned themselves to their fate, believing they might spend a lifetime as tools for the Mingtu Lady, had reignited the hope of regaining freedom after another Taiyin Body was taken away by the Mingtu Lady not long ago.

Though the chance was slim, at least other Taiyin Bodies had succeeded.

And they hadn’t expected that such hope would arrive so quickly.

The Cultivation Realm Alliance, Vice City Lord Lin Jing of Immortal City... Who exactly was this person, who could take them from the hands of the Mingtu Lady!

These Taiyin Divine Bodies, having spent years here, were utterly ignorant of external affairs, naturally unaware of the Heaven and Earth Sect or any proxy City Lord.

"I won’t leave; I want to serve the Mingtu Lady forever. The Lady has treated us well, taught us Secret Techniques, and provided us with resources, while we only expended a little effort to operate the great formation. To leave just like that, how could we ever repay the Lady’s nurturing!"

"The Lady’s grace is immeasurable; at least let us serve the Lady for a thousand years!"

At this moment, among the many Taiyin Bodies, a beautiful Female Cultivator suddenly spoke, causing the Mingtu Lady to fall into contemplation, and the other Taiyin Divine Bodies to ponder deeply.

If looks could kill, this person would have been killed a hundred times by the other Taiyin Bodies.

"What is your name?" Mingtu Lady looked at her.

"Feng Lingwan," the Taiyin Body Female Cultivator replied respectfully.

"Feng Lingwan, not bad. Mingtu needs talents as loyal as you, but whether you go to City Lord Lin or stay with me, it makes no difference. If you have the heart, go and follow City Lord Lin well." Mingtu Lady said, "Enough of this talk, prepare the ’Ten Locks Yin-Gathering Immortal Array’!"

Ten Locks Yin-Gathering Immortal Array...

The Yin Spirit Bodies breathed a sigh of relief. This array... uses an Immortal Source as the core and the Taiyin Body as array pathways, extracting a part of the Taiyin Power of Origin from each Taiyin Body to enhance the corresponding power of the main array person, which is relatively easy to operate, much easier than resurrecting the deceased.

They had operated this array several times before, always to strengthen the Mingtu Lady’s spirit monsters, and were very proficient at it.

However, this time, the group of Taiyin Divine Bodies didn’t see clearly who the main array person was, as they were shrouded in a dark mist, obscuring their face. But for the sake of their upcoming freedom, all they could do now was to do their best to operate this last great array!

...

One year later.

A piece of news spread swiftly.

It was discovered that several years ago, the Magu severely injured by Sheng Kun was seizing a new body in a hidden cave; once this news spread, all forces, whether righteous or demonic, and even mountain spirit monsters, moved!

Though some felt it was odd, if Magu were truly a fallen star spirit or from the Cultivation Realm Alliance, it wouldn’t make sense to randomly find a place to seize a new body, probably a trap, but the allure of Magu was too great.

As an existence highly valued by the Demon Sect Saint Heir, he surely possessed numerous treasures. Even if he had nothing, the demon lineage itself was something many powers wanted to obtain.

Regardless of whether the news was true or not, and whether there was a trap, a large group of people still went to the rumored location in search of Magu, trusting that their strength and caution would help them avoid unexpected incidents.

Especially people from the Demon Sect, they dispatched in great numbers, due to existing bounties, and if they succeeded in killing Magu, the rewards would be tremendous.

Within the Celestial Demon Sect, it was not only the Saint Heir Sheng Kun who issued a bounty for Magu, but even the higher-ups of the Celestial Demon Sect also put out a kill order for Magu. It was said that whosoever could kill Magu, extracting his demon lineage, would be rewarded greatly, with the Celestial Demon Sect’s powerful figures using Great Magical Power to help integrate this lineage and replace Magu, becoming a new demon.

This temptation was something few demon Cultivators could resist.

"It seems, calculated from the facts, that Magu was severely wounded by the Saint Heir, leaving only the Primordial Spirit to flee, indeed preparing for body-seizing, perhaps it is true."

"The state of a Primordial Spirit is a critical moment for body-seizing, representing the best time to kill him. Miss this opportunity, and once he seizes a new body, it will be difficult to kill him again."

"Exactly, I’ve received intelligence from beyond the realm, intending to send a new Saint Heir into the Essence Realm to seize superior Immortal Sources. This new Saint Heir is likely still enhancing power, receiving teachings from the realm’s Demon Emperor. If, once this new Saint Heir arrives, we will have no chance to kill Magu."

Demon Sect Cultivators swarmed to the false location spread by Lin Jing, while in the depths of the void, the incarnation resembling a nine-tailed fox flicked a bloodthirsty gleam in his eyes, having now been jointly strengthened by dozens of Taiyin Bodies, with the power of darkness fully revived, and perfectly fused with complete Magic Power, creating terrifyingly potent dark magic.

In terms of strength, apart from the four great kings, there were no rivals, and in Lin Jing’s eyes, these Cultivators coming to kill Magu were not worth a mention, even if they were allied!

Yet, since Mingtu Lady could deduce the connection between Magu and Lin Jing through the Dark Emperor, others could too, and Lin Jing was temporarily not planning to let others know that his incarnation had seized the Dark Emperor, and hiding this was simple,

so long as he didn’t appear himself.

Changing form and covering with Illusion Techniques were unnecessarily troublesome.

Slaughtering these Cultivators required no appearance of Magu himself.

As more and more Cultivators gathered, everyone suddenly looked up, gazing at a massive rift appearing on the horizon...

An illusory arm exuding immense Magic Power was grasping an execution sword gathered from crystallized killing intent, slowly descending from the sky... slaying, exhilarating.

...

Celestial Demon Realm.

This realm gathered hundreds of seeking Dao Cultivators with demon bloodline, whereas those without demon bloodline, even if they reached the seeking path phase, remained outside the core of the demon realm, relegated to its periphery.

The Celestial Demon Council.

It is the highest council of the Celestial Demon Sect, which can only be participated in by those who simultaneously possess both the demon lineage and Seeking Path Cultivation. Whenever the Celestial Demon Realm receives instructions from the higher dimension or comes to a new decision, all are finalized by the Celestial Demon Council.

"They say that the impostor pretending to be the Celestial Revenge Demon Emperor’s successor has shown up again and is on a killing spree in the Essence Realm, causing significant losses of our disciples."

"This wandering demon lineage must be reclaimed, and quickly send the new Saint Heir to resolve this individual..."

"After voting, the next Cultivation Realm we have decided to invade is the Celestial Essence Realm. Years ago, our sect dispatched an outstanding outsider without demon lineage to attempt to invade the Celestial Essence Realm, but it ended in failure. However, from the intelligence he sent back, the Celestial Essence Realm is often at war, its heritage is incomplete, resources are scarce, and its strongest is merely an Acquired Immortal Body cultivating fortune."

"Once the demon realm army descends, it can be subdued at any time, hence... it wasn’t given special attention, simply listed as an invasion target, awaiting its turn."

"And now, the reason for choosing to invade ahead of schedule is because the Celestial Essence Realm has produced a formidable prodigy, Longevity Body Lin Jing, currently a prominent figure in the Essence Realm. Once the Cultivation Alliance establishes a teleportation array in the Celestial Essence Realm, the realm will be hard to invade, so we must conquer this Celestial Essence Realm as quickly as possible."

"Which Demon Emperor might lead the legion there...?"

"I’ll go, alone it’s enough." Among the many Demon Emperors, a female Demon Emperor spoke, "Trapped in the star cave for so long, my sword is rusting. The Celestial Essence Realm... if no surprises occur along the way, I can arrive within six decades. I hope by the time I return, you will have dealt with the one impersonating my successor."

"Celestial Revenge Demon Emperor..." The other Demon Emperors looked at her, and no one objected,
