Beast Taming Ascension

Chapter 387 The Most Bizarre Challenger

When searching for treasure, the best items are those that can prolong life.

War, and the plundering of weapons and equipment during war.

A brand-new mechanical turtle formed by the fusion of the Longevity Turtle and the War Machine Demon, with two major obsessions locked in its body and soul.

After being released by the forest, the little turtle chose to travel towards the Cloud Sea Mountains.

The mechanical turtle was very satisfied with this travel route.

After all, in places like the Cloud Sea Mountains, people die all year round, and countless unclaimed storage bags lie forlornly in some corner.

This is the perfect opportunity for it to show its skills...

However, the mechanical turtle did not forget the main mission of the forest realm, which was to try to challenge the God of the Witch God Temple, who was currently ranked ninth on the Fortune Gold List.

This journey is not short; most Nascent Soul cultivators would need a long time to travel it. The Artifact Ghost is an exception; it can ride various top-grade flying swords, top-grade vehicles, and even spatial magic treasures to get there.

For a normal Nascent Soul cultivator, using a high-grade magic weapon is the most convenient, as the speed of spiritual energy recovery can keep up with the consumption of activating the magic weapon, allowing for the most prolonged combat.

However, if a top-grade magic weapon is used, it is not impossible to activate it, but it requires more energy to be consumed depending on the quality of the top-grade magic weapon, making it unsuitable for normal combat.

However, for quasi-immortal artifacts of an even higher level, without special cultivation techniques and a special physique, they are completely beyond the control of Nascent Soul cultivators. Even if they successfully launch an attack, all their strength will inevitably be drained, and even then, they may not be able to unleash even one-tenth of the quasi-immortal artifact's power...

However, as a weapon spirit born from war, it is different in this respect and has a unique advantage. Now that the Nascent Soul cultivation has been unlocked, it can activate magic treasures of the "quasi-immortal" level. Moreover, the difficulty of activating them is just as easy as that of a normal Nascent Soul cultivator activating the corresponding high-grade magic treasure, or even easier.

With this extraordinary ability, and considering that Lin Jing had entrusted several quasi-immortal artifacts from the spoils of war to the mechanical turtle beforehand, Lin Jing had no idea what kind of power it could unleash. However, he could imagine that it must be the strongest one in the team at present...

……

The Temple of the Witch God is a cultivation force composed of ancient witches who believed in gods.

The Son of God in the Temple of the Witch God is one of the most likely of the witch people to communicate with the gods, and can easily possess the bodies of ancient gods by drawing upon their power.

“Manokusa, Damushaye, Kamabbe…” In the Cloud Sea Mountains, on a mountain peak standing on a dragon vein, surrounded by chaotic celestial power, a young man with special markings on his face sat cross-legged, muttering something unintelligible.

Fine rain and snow mingled together, falling from the sky, occasionally accompanied by lightning striking the young man. He remained unmoved amidst this chaotic celestial phenomenon, seemingly one with the heavens and earth.

As the young man was cultivating, a spatial ripple appeared, and a tortoise appeared behind a rock not far from him, secretly watching him.

Before the mechanical tortoise could spy for long, the young man opened his eyes and said, "Come out, you've been spying for too long."

The mechanical tortoise slowly emerged, and the divine son of the Witch God Temple frowned, looking at this "mechanical creation" with a puzzled expression.

"Nascent Soul stage, mechanical beast?" Although the Witch God Temple was somewhat isolated from the world, as the strongest prodigy of a Dao Seeking power, the Son of God of the Witch God Temple still possessed the necessary knowledge. Seeing that neither remnants of the Gu God Sect nor anyone from the temple seemed to have come to see him, the Son of God of the Witch God Temple showed an expression of interest.

"From the Divine Machine Manor of the ancient kingdom?" At this moment, even the Son of God of the Witch God Temple could only make such a judgment.

However, the mechanical turtle shook its head the next moment, emitting a strange voice that blended mechanical and spiritual elements, saying, "Not from Shenji Manor..."

"I just happened to be traveling here and I want to fight you."

"A sentient, intelligent mechanical beast..." The Son of God of the Witch God Temple paused slightly, then said, "Could it have escaped from some ancient ruins..."

Since the beginning of the Golden Age, various ruins have emerged, and cultivators have unearthed many valuable items from them. He had heard that some ancient ruins were guarded by mechanical puppets created by mechanical arts, preventing cultivators from entering them.

boom! ! !
The next instant, the Son of God of the Witch God Temple chanted some incantation at an extremely fast speed, and a lightning spear descended from the sky, piercing through the air and heading towards the mechanical turtle beside the mountain rock. Since the mechanical turtle had already said that it wanted to fight him, the Son of God of the Witch God Temple did not ask any more questions.

Faced with the lightning-summoning technique of the Witch God Temple's son, the mechanical tortoise's eyes flashed. Without making any attempt to dodge, it directly spat out a top-grade magic treasure, the Calamity-Avoiding Pearl, from its body and put it in its mouth.

Immediately afterward, the lightning spears that descended from the sky slowly dissipated into the air before they even fully touched the mechanical turtle on the ground. This was one of the spoils Lin Jing had obtained from the Gu God Sect, and it was suspected to have the effect of avoiding heavenly tribulations. However, it was of no use to Lin Jing, who possessed the "Ice Soul Lightning Tribulation Gu," so he gave it to the mechanical turtle.

"Huh? A top-grade magic weapon?"

Upon seeing that a mechanical turtle was carrying a "top-grade magic weapon," the Son of God of the Witch God Temple was taken aback.

That lightning strike, though it was just a basic, ordinary attack, no different from a casual wave of the hand, was still something that ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators couldn't withstand, as one of the top ten prodigies of Tianyuan. It was used to test the mechanical turtle, and the mechanical turtle's response was quite unexpected for the Divine Son of the Witch God Temple.

"Turtle Flying Sword." The mechanical turtle muttered, put away the Tribulation Avoidance Pearl again, and then took out a new top-grade magic weapon, a flying sword, one of the spoils of war from the Tongtian City in the Forest Realm. At this moment, under the control of the mechanical turtle, this top-grade flying sword turned into a white light with a "whoosh" and slashed towards the neck of the God of the Witch God Temple.

Swish.

The power of the flying sword tore through space, leaving a long black slit in its trajectory.

"It can even spit out flying swords... another top-grade magic weapon." The son of the Witch God Temple was astonished, not understanding what was going on with this mechanical turtle, which had already taken out two top-grade magic weapons!

It should be understood that in the outside world, a top-grade magic weapon is enough to become the most treasured artifact of a Nascent Soul sect, requiring the entire sect's resources to maintain it.

"You're not the only one with a magic weapon!" The Divine Son of the Witch God Temple also took out a top-grade magic weapon. As the strongest prodigy of the Dao Seeking faction, his standard equipment was definitely not a high-grade magic weapon like that of ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators...

He took out a cyan flag and simply placed it in the sky. A phoenix-shaped artifact spirit appeared, summoning a gale and emitting a phoenix cry, blowing away the flying sword. However, what the God of the Witch God Temple did not know was that the mechanical turtle's favorite thing was for others to fight it with magical artifacts.

It's more adept at stealing other people's magical treasures than controlling its own...
