Beast Taming Ascension

Chapter 291 Thunder Tribulation Gu

"Heavenly lightning...summon!!!"

Under the Demon Emperor's domineering and unparalleled power, Lin Jing's first target, "Elder Lei Gu," was bathed in black lightning.

Inside his body, a black scorpion's stinger, crackling with lightning, pierced deeply into Elder Lei Gu's heart.

The lightning poison permeated his entire body. His fusion with the lightning poison allowed his physical body to surpass its limits. The violent lightning barely allowed him to regain his mobility under the pressure of the demon emperor.

At that moment, Elder Lei Gu quickly made a decision: to summon heavenly lightning to bombard the barrier sealing the city, and then find a gap to escape!

However, to his despair, even this glimmer of hope was denied him by the Demon Emperor…

For the Demon Emperor, the Heavenly Tribulation was no longer a threat.

Nascent Soul, Deity Transformation, Void Profound, Seeking the Dao, Ascension...

The next realm after the Dao Inquiry stage is the Ascension stage. The Ascension stage is more of a transitional phase than a true realm. It is not fundamentally different from the Dao Inquiry stage, except that the Ascension stage grants the ability to sense the Immortal Realm.

However, due to changes in the world's rules, this ascension realm, which allows one to travel to the immortal realm, no longer exists.

Even if one survives the Ascension Tribulation, one is still only at the Dao Inquiry stage and cannot gain the opportunity to sense the Immortal Realm. Therefore, the Ascension stage gradually disappeared from the Tianyuan Continent.

Even so, even without the opportunity to ascend, many powerful cultivators still choose to attempt the Ascension Tribulation to verify their Dao!

The Demon Emperor, who happened to be one of the Dao Seeking Stage experts who had already attempted to overcome the Ascension Tribulation in this era where ascension was impossible, was the pinnacle of existence on the Tianyuan Continent. There would be no more than ten such Dao Seeking Stage experts on the entire Tianyuan Continent.

If it weren't for the limitations of the era, she would have already ascended to the immortal realm.

It was precisely because of his experience in overcoming the tribulation of ascension that the Demon Emperor dared to directly challenge the tribulation of human transformation.

At present, although this Thunder Tribulation Gu is extremely domineering, it is still just a Void Gu. To think that it can attract a demon emperor who has passed the Ascension Tribulation and Transformation Tribulation is undoubtedly a pipe dream.

boom!
In the sky, within the black tribulation clouds, the figure of a giant black scorpion vaguely appeared. However, before the tribulation could take shape, accompanied by a deep-space tiger's roar, the entire space of Tongtian City seemed to be shattered, and the newly formed thunderclouds instantly dissipated.

"Is this the Lord of the Demon Court? I wonder how he compares to the God of Gu... who is stronger?" Seeing that even with the full power of the Thunder Gu, he couldn't even escape, the Thunder Gu Elder felt a deep sense of despair.

puff.

Before Elder Lei Gu could react further, the tiger's roar that shattered the tribulation lightning also shattered his internal organs and his primordial spirit, expelling the tribulation lightning gu that had merged with his heart.

"You old fool, you can carry it yourself..."

Seeing no hope of escape, the lightning tribulation Gu attempted suicide to seek a chance for reincarnation. However, what awaited it was the mocking laughter of the lightning Gu elder, who was kneeling on the ground in a sorry state.

"There's no way out. With so many enemies around, this Holy Son of the Demon Court is coming specifically for me... I know his purpose very well."

The nearly blind Elder Lei Gu looked at Lin Jing, who was descending from the sky and whose body was filled with the power of ice and fire, and seemed to see the figure of the Ice and Fire Saintess of the Gu God Sect in the past.

The Ice and Fire Saintess of the Gu God Sect also cultivates the power of fire and ice, using fire to counterbalance the power of the Ice Soul Gu.

"Your Majesty, Demon Emperor, please help me retrieve the Gu. This Thunder Tribulation Gu may be of great use in researching the Transformation Pill." After Lin Jing descended, the Thunder Tribulation Gu, which was about to commit suicide, was horrified to find that its body was out of control. A domineering demonic power was tearing it apart from the Thunder Gu Elder.

"Longevity Body—" The Gu worm was peeled from its body, causing Elder Thunder Gu to let out a painful scream. At the same time, Thunder Tribulation Gu also screamed. Originally, its cultivation had reached the Void Profound stage, but now, under the power of the Demon Emperor, the lightning power on its body was being erased at a terrifying speed, and its realm was rapidly falling.

Void Profound…Transformation into Deity…Nascent Soul…Core Formation…Foundation Building…Qi Refining. Soon, the power of the Thunder Tribulation Gu was erased, and a completely mindless scorpion composed of black lightning floated in front of Lin Jing.

"This is the origin of the Thunder Gu. I have already reshaped its original power. You now have two choices: one is to find a place with abundant lightning and nurture it anew. It will become a new Gu worm, just like your Ice Soul Gu, for you to control."

"The second option is to let it become nourishment for the Ice Soul Gu, allowing the Ice Soul Gu to devour it and absorb its power. However, this is also a limitation for the Ice Soul Gu..."

"The reason why the cultivators of the Gu God Sect did not allow the ten extraordinary Gu to devour each other again is because the combined power after the extraordinary Gu devour each other would not allow them to be reborn in the corresponding attribute land after they die!"

"I choose option two." Lin Jing grabbed the Thunder Gu and sealed it into a wooden box that appeared out of thin air.

He was already aware of the Demon Emperor's warning: once the Ten Great Strange Gu possessed the power of another Strange Gu, they would lose their ability to be reborn.

However, the Ice Soul Gu didn't care. After all, although it was still the Ice Soul Gu after its rebirth, it had lost all its memories and was no longer itself.

Reincarnation is a last resort in desperate situations, a choice made to preserve one's bloodline.

If given the choice, no living being would not wish to reach the pinnacle in their lifetime.

Having devoured the other nine extraordinary Gu and usurped the position of Gu God, the other extraordinary Gu saw no hope for the future, but the Ice Soul Gu did. How could it possibly give up?

"Two extraordinary Gu worms gathered in one body..." Now, having lost the Thunder Gu, the Thunder Gu Elder had also lost his last hope. He sighed softly and weakly said, "This old man is willing to let His Highness the Holy Son plant a Gu worm and become his servant. Please..."

Before he finished speaking, a ghostly fire ignited the Thunder Gu Elder, whose power had been sealed by the Demon Emperor. Under the illumination of the raging ghostly fire that devoured flesh and soul, Lin Jing slowly rose into the air once again.

"I am the Holy Son of the Demon Court, what use are you to me?"

Sensing the terrifying increase in the grade of the ghost fire, which was devouring the power of the remnant soul of the Thunder Gu Elder, Lin Jing locked onto his next target: the Nine-Headed Demon Lord of the Yin Corpse Sect.

This demon possesses nine nascent souls, and its soul power is terrifyingly strong; it will surely enable the ghost fire to complete its final evolution.

A moment later, Lin Jing's figure appeared not far from the Nine-Headed Demon Lord, who was lying on the ground. At this time, his nine nascent souls had abandoned him and formed an infant array, struggling with difficulty. When he saw Lin Jing arrive, the Nine-Headed Demon Lord's pupils shrank.

"If I had known this would happen, I should have just killed you in the ancient kingdom..."

"Sending me to Qingzhou was the biggest mistake of your Yin Corpse Sect." With Lin Jing's arrival, the Demon Emperor once again took action to suppress the Nine-Headed Serpent. If the Yin Corpse Sect had been willing to withstand the pressure from the Ancient Kingdom and continue to capture Lin Jing within the Ancient Kingdom, this outcome might not have happened.

Now, having sent Lin Jing to Qingzhou, the Nine-Headed Demon Lord regrets it...

As he watched the will-o'-the-wisps blaze, he realized that he had unleashed an even more terrifying demon.

"Tell me, why is the Yin Corpse Sect so eager to find me?"
