Beast Taming Ascension

Chapter 402 The Dao Heart Collapses
Longli stared at the transformed rare beast Zhuomu, the words of the pine needle rat echoing in his ears.

Once they reached the bottom of the arena, the leaf rat finally remembered what it had forgotten.

It originally intended to "take away" the opponent's storage bag during the battle, but it didn't expect the opponent to be so weak. With a single demon core power, the opponent directly triggered the cave's protective mechanism.

The arena battles in the Two Realms Cave Heaven will forcibly teleport the side that loses the ability to fight out of the arena, which indirectly increases the survival rate of defeated cultivators.

This resulted in the opponent being teleported away before the leaf rat could even take the storage bag!
Having learned from this experience, the leaf mouse earnestly advised the dragon carp not to defeat its opponent all at once, but to help it fulfill its wish!

"Pop..." The dragon carp scratched its head, feeling extremely annoyed. It didn't really want to steal other people's storage bags.

It looked at the young man covered in bird feathers opposite it, but couldn't find where the other man's storage bag was hidden. Compared to the leaf rat, which was proficient in the art of space, it was really not good at doing this kind of thing.

However, sensing its opponent's killing intent, the dragon carp also revealed a sharp gaze. Although it didn't like stealing storage bags, it preferred to do more cruel things...

"Although I don't know why it's another pet beast, well, you're out of luck. Tianming Realm can't afford to keep losing."

"For the victory of the Heavenly Realm, you must sacrifice yourself in this battle."

Zhuo Mu revealed a murderous look in his eyes and licked his lips. Although he had no grudge against Long Li, killing Long Li now would be of great benefit to Tianming Realm.

Although the dragon carp appeared alone, it and the forest below the stage were essentially one.

If he kills the carp, the beast-taming cultivators below the stage, although not participating in the battle, will definitely suffer a severe backlash due to the death of their pets and the break of their contracts, thus affecting their condition.

The Tianming Realm has already realized that Lin Jing is not simple. There may be other powerful pets besides the squirrel spirit and the carp spirit. In that case, in order to avoid Lin Jing and the remaining pets appearing together later, if they can kill the dragon carp alone and thus indirectly severely injure Lin Jing, it will undoubtedly increase the Tianming Realm's chances of winning.

"It seems Zhuo Mu intends to kill this carp..."

"Forget it, let them kill us. Anyway, the Tianming Realm and the Tianyuan Realm have lost contact and there will be no future interaction. The opportunities and victory in the cave are more important," said the sound cultivator from the Tianming Realm.

The group tacitly approved of Zhuo Mu's actions.

At the same time, the group from Tianyuan Realm also sensed the killing intent that the rare beast had toward the dragon carp.

However, they were relieved to see Lin Jing's calm expression.

Die—

On the arena, just like the leaf rat, Zhuo Mu instantly used his strongest move, the rare beast divine power Heavenly Peck, intending to finish the battle quickly.

He soared into the air, his head transforming from human to bird-like, and his wedge-shaped beak immediately radiated a deep blue divine light.

With a "whoosh," a streak of light, resembling a spear, pierced through the dragon carp. Upon seeing this, the dragon carp narrowed its eyes, its large eyes slightly closing.

Longli wanted to hide for a bit, but found that the surrounding space was blocked.

"Trying to run?" Zhuo Mu grinned, summoning a spatial array flag. He already had a set of combined battle tactics.

"Roar!!!"

Blocked from retreat, the dragon carp roared. Seeing that its opponent did not want it to hide, it was too lazy to hide anymore. Scale-shaped flames rose from its whole body, instantly transforming into the image of a fiery unicorn, choosing to withstand this rare beast's divine power head-on.

boom! ! !
As the dragon carp activated its cultivation technique and transformed into a fire unicorn, its aura instantly multiplied several times, revealing its true bloodline fluctuations and displaying the full might of its ancestral blood, causing the cultivators from the Tianming Realm to shrink in shock.

"What's going on? This carp's bloodline has actually reached the peak of the Ancestral level! That's a whole major level higher than Gao Zhuomu!"

The carp form is not a combat form for the Dragon Carp at all. Its true bloodline strength is only fully revealed after transformation. This terrifying ancestral blood aura truly startled Zhuo Mu, but in an instant, his eyes turned ruthless as he said:

"What about ancestral blood? Compared to the bloodline of rare beasts, it's not worth mentioning."

boom! ! !
The Heavenly Pecking Divine Power slammed into the scales of the Qilin Dragon Carp. To the disbelief of the Tianming Realm side, this terrifyingly powerful offensive beast-type divine power only left a white mark on the fire Qilin, without even shattering its scales. "That's enough. A scratch is still an injury."

While Zhuo Mu was shocked by the dragon carp's defensive power, he also revealed a mocking smile, wondering if the other party had underestimated its rare beast abilities.

next second.

As the power of the rare beast was activated, a series of cracking sounds rang out, allowing the Tianming Realm side to breathe a sigh of relief. While the physical attributes of this Ancestral Blood Qilin were indeed terrifying, the rare beast's divine power was an inheritance from immortals, and that was just how unreasonable it was.

Although it was just a "scratch," the incurable and rapidly deteriorating effects of the "Heavenly Pecking Divine Power" had already thrown the situation out of balance.

The dragon carp's injuries rapidly worsened, starting small and progressing to larger scales.

"Is everything alright...?" Upon seeing this, the Third Prince immediately became worried.

"Just look," Lin Jing said simply.

His gaze swept over Zhuo Mu, who had once again produced a high-grade defensive magic weapon in the sky, attempting to buy time.

Is this the opponent's rare beast supernatural power?

That's quite interesting.

But it's a pity.

According to Bai Yuran's intelligence, this supernatural power is not invincible; it can be countered as long as there are "healing resources and treatment methods of immortal quality".

“Roar…” And the dragon carp happened to have these. It ignored the woodpecker and experienced the other’s rare beast supernatural power on its own. The dragon scale fire rising from its body slowly transformed into the healing “Healing Lotus Heart Flame”.

"Useless..." Zhuo Mu chuckled as he saw the dragon carp trying to heal its rapidly shattering scales. But the next moment, his expression suddenly changed. The healing fire emanating from the Qilin dragon carp suddenly emitted a pure fluctuation similar to immortal power, its quality reaching an unbelievable level in an instant. The injuries on its body... were healed in the blink of an eye.

The Tianming Realm cultivators, who had been waiting for victory, all changed their expressions.

"Wait, this is... Celestial Fire?" They exclaimed in disbelief.

This demonic beast actually possesses healing immortal fire?!

"Is this it???" On one side of Tianyuan Realm, Alchemist Du Zao's face was burning with excitement.

As expected, Lin Jing hadn't lied to him!

"Roar!!!"

After healing its injuries, Longli once again turned its gaze to the horrified woodpecker. Its form changed again, and a dragon-shaped body slowly flew out from the rising lotus heart fire... spitting out a fireball like a dragon pearl at Zhuo Mu.

However, its nature is that of a ghostly fire, like a hellfire.

"What is that?!" The rare beast Zhuo Mu was shocked, because at the same time the dragon carp spat out flames, there were also ghost fires that started burning his soul. Before Zhuo Mu could react, the two flames touched and merged, transforming into an enormous cauldron that trapped him inside!
"Save...I admit defeat..." In the endless pain of his soul, Zhuo Mu wanted to shout out that he had given up. He found that the other party's control over the fire was terrifying. The fire was kept at a level that made him unable to resist, but did not make him lose consciousness. This made Zhuo Mu feel extreme fear and realize that something was wrong.

However, before the cave could react, with a "pop," the rare beast demon completely disappeared from the arena with a wisp of green smoke, leaving no trace of life. In its place, only a pill remained, floating in the air.

This bizarre scene sent chills down the spines of several cultivators in the Heavenly Cry Realm, causing some to experience a collapse of their Dao hearts.

What a joke.

At the same time, the dragon carp calmly looked at the golden core of its cultivation that it had refined. Since the other party had shown killing intent towards it, it, the Great Carp Emperor, was not one to be trifled with. This golden core of cultivation refined by a rare beast would surely be very nourishing, and might even have some special effects... It turned to look at the beast tamer, just about to claim credit...

"I don't eat pills made from humanoid demon beasts," Lin Jing said coldly.
