Beast Taming Ascension

Chapter 350: Invincible in the Same Realm
"Heavenly Demon Body?"

"What kind of secret technique is this?"

Not everyone in Wudi City knows about the secret technique of the Heavenly Demon Body.

"That is the foundation of the first ancient demonic sect, the Heavenly Demon Sect. It can cultivate an extreme physique that can burn 'lifespan' to improve one's realm."

"Even during the active period of the Heavenly Demon Sect, very few members could cultivate this physique. It is even said that the sect leader himself had not mastered it. There was a rumor that the Longevity Body, kept by the Qingzhou Heavenly Lion Clan, instantly escaped from the demon cage. Now it seems that it was also because of this Heavenly Demon Physique..."

"The Longevity Body with its immense lifespan, combined with the Heavenly Demon Body that can burn lifespan to temporarily gain power, is simply the strongest dual physique, comparable to an immortal body..."

"However, even if the Holy Son of the Demon Court has mastered this secret technique, it is still unwise to use it to fight against the successor of the Martial Emperor... His basic cultivation level is too low. Even with the Heavenly Demon Body, in my opinion, he should not fight against the successor of the Martial Emperor..."

A powerful rogue cultivator spoke up: "It's obvious without even thinking that the higher the realm one wants to advance, the more lifespan one needs to consume. His basic realm is only the mid-Golden Core stage. Even if he has a longevity body, he might be able to withstand advancing to the Nascent Soul stage, but advancing to the Divine Transformation stage, even for a longevity body, would probably consume a large amount of lifespan, a heavy price to pay!"

Even if we win the fight, is it worth it?

“He already has the rare Gu. The difference between having one more Stone Man Gu and losing one Stone Man Gu is of little significance to him.”

"But in comparison, the thousands of years of lifespan that may be lost are not so easy to make up for. Longevity only means a longer lifespan, not an infinite one!"

"Moreover, even if he advances to the Nascent Soul stage, he only has a certain chance of defeating the Martial Emperor's successor. The Heavenly Demon Body only improves his cultivation level; it won't lead to an improvement in his spell level, nor will it grant him corresponding combat experience..."

"Wan Renzong, the successor of Emperor Wu, cultivated to the Nascent Soul stage. He fought countless battles along the way and comprehended the power of heaven and earth on his own without relying on the Nascent Soul stage. In addition, he inherited Emperor Wu's martial arts. Even some veteran Nascent Soul cultivators with higher levels are no match for him!"

"And the strength he forcibly increased through secret methods might not even be as good as those veteran Nascent Soul cultivators. In other words, if he only raises his realm to the Nascent Soul stage, he might not be a match for Wan Renzong, unless he really does as he says and raises it to the Void Profound stage!"

"But do you think it's possible? How much lifespan would he have to consume to advance from the Golden Core stage to the Void Profound stage? To sacrifice so much of his lifespan for a Stone Golem Gu? If you were the Holy Son of the Demon Court, would you do that?"

"Therefore, his words just now were most likely just a way to intimidate potential enemies due to the current state of the Demon Court, to tell them that he, the Holy Son of the Demon Court, has the ability to instantly reach the Void Profound or even the Questioning Realm, so that they would not act rashly. In this battle, at most, he will probably only raise his power realm to the Nascent Soul stage, and it is impossible for him to reach the Void Profound stage."

The words of this powerful rogue cultivator were echoed by many other cultivators.

The other descendants of Emperor Wu, the powerful figures from the martial arts families of Emperor Wu City, and the powerful figures from the Buddhist sect... were all watching silently.

They clearly didn't believe that Lin Jing would expend a large amount of his lifespan to improve his cultivation for a single Stone Goblin Gu.

"The Nascent Soul stage is probably the limit. The Holy Son of the Demon Court may think that by reaching the Nascent Soul stage and with the help of a few pet beasts, he can defeat his junior brother. But he is thinking too simply."

Emperor Wu's second disciple spoke calmly.

"This kid is threatening us."

The few Kong Xuan who were plotting against Lin Jing narrowed their eyes, especially the Fishman Ancestor and the Flower Ancestor. Although the Whale Emperor and the Dragon Emperor were acting with the Demon Court, they had not informed these subordinates.

In other words, from their perspective, their leader really intended to take action against Lin Jing.

Furthermore, their leader gave them the order to find an opportunity to capture a complete immortal being alive.

If Lin Jing only had the protection of Kong Xuan, they would still have a sliver of a chance. But if Lin Jing himself had the power to instantly ask the Dao, then it would be difficult to deal with. If they were not careful, they might all perish.

Even a few seconds of power from the Dao Inquiry Realm would be enough to easily annihilate Kong Xuan. "Is that so..."

Lin Jing's opponent, Wan Renzong, the successor of the Martial Emperor, was initially surprised, but after calming down, he quickly analyzed that even with the Heavenly Demon Body, Lin Jing could not consume his lifespan indefinitely.

If the other party is bluffing, just admit defeat!

As for this Holy Son of the Demon Court, if he only raises his cultivation level to the Nascent Soul stage, even to the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage, he is actually not afraid.

He didn't believe that a cultivator who could temporarily advance two major realms using a secret technique could possibly be that powerful...

Let alone the power of heaven and earth that a Nascent Soul cultivator can control, even the basic power that a Nascent Soul cultivator like the Nascent Soul Dharma Aspect can use well?
"Demon Court Holy Son, I'm not easily intimidated..." Wan Renzong said calmly, "You speak so casually, but do you really have the determination to raise your cultivation level to the Void Profound Realm?"

"Even if you advance to the Void Profound realm, you are merely a false Void Profound realm cultivator who has mastered extremely crude spatial power. You have the realm but no supernatural abilities. Whether you can defeat me is another matter."

"Enough with the nonsense, come on. If you think you can make me back down with these words, you are underestimating me, Emperor Wan Renzong."

"Go ahead and burn your lifespan, let's see if your lifespan is longer or my fist is harder."

Lin Jing chuckled: "You misunderstood. I was just giving an example. I don't need to use the power of the Void Profound in this battle."

"You are at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm."

"As long as I also reach the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, I will be able to defeat him."

"In the same realm, I have never encountered an opponent."

"Even if my realm is only temporarily elevated and false."

Having defeated even a fellow Immortal Body Realm expert, he naturally wouldn't fear a Martial Emperor's successor.

He might be wary of the young Martial Emperor, but what if he's just one of the Martial Emperor's many successors...?

If he loses, Lin Jing will have wasted all this opportunity!

Wan Renzong's eyes flashed, and a terrifying and powerful aura surged from his body.

"Arrogant!" He slowly ascended into the air.

"Then let's get started."

Heaven-Shattering Palm!
With a palm strike delivered from a distance, even the low-level cultivators who witnessed it felt as if time and space had been altered, as if they were on an endless earth with the sky above them. It was as if the earth and sky were the center of this palm strike, causing the earth to tremble and the sky to collapse.

The person at the center will suffer a devastating blow.

"The power of heaven and earth that a Nascent Soul cultivator can wield..." Even as a fellow Nascent Soul cultivator, just seeing Wan Renzong's palm strike made him feel immense pressure. Although he wasn't the target of the attack, he still expended a great deal of effort to break free from the influence of the palm strike's intent...
