Beast Taming Ascension

Chapter 424 Arrival
The ancient realm's grand Tianyuan Gathering is drawing to a close.

At this stage, the top talents on the gold list no longer challenge each other.

Everyone already knows their own capabilities perfectly well.

Besides, the top ten will soon enter the Origin Realm and will no longer be able to enjoy the bonus from the Golden Ranking. There's no need to be so particular about their ranking. As long as they stay in the top ten and make sure they can enter the Origin Realm, they have already achieved their goal.

The current grand event is basically a competition between the eleventh to the hundredth place, because the top ten will not leave Tianyuan.

At that time, they will be the leading figures among the geniuses of Tianyuan Continent, so naturally they must do their best to show themselves now.

Aside from a few prodigies exchanging skills, many prominent figures from the Tianyuan Continent have gathered in the ancient kingdoms and domains. Even the Tianyuan Daoists, who have been maintaining the boundary, have put aside their own affairs.

"It seems that's the end of it."

The top ten remained unchanged, and it seemed that none of the other prodigies wanted to continue challenging for a place in the top ten. Some had already decided to leave, too lazy to continue watching the competition for rankings among the remaining prodigies.

"That was truly spectacular, but it's also a pity that that person didn't attend the Tianyuan Grand Gathering!"

Some strong individuals also expressed their admiration.

"That's right, it's a pity that the monstrous genius who cultivated the Heavenly Demon Secret Technique and the Way of Beast Taming, and could climb the Golden List on his own just by relying on his pets, didn't come."

"However, even without a single duel, he still ranks sixth on the Golden List, his position remaining unchanged, which shows that his strength is still terrifying."

"The foundation lies there! I speculate that Lin Jing's true strength now should be comparable to, or even stronger than, that of the Holy Maiden of the Demon Court! The Holy Maiden of the Demon Court, who has a contract with the Crown Prince of the Sea God Palace and Young Master Long Liu, has an overall strength that is almost at the pinnacle of the Nascent Soul stage on the continent. It's a pity that she encountered Princess You Ran, who has cultivated an immortal body. Although the ancient prince did not make a move, he is ahead of Princess You Ran and must have also cultivated an immortal body."

"No matter how shameless the way of beast taming may be, it is powerless against a celestial body... even the rare beasts of the Demon Court's Holy Son are probably helpless."

"Even the Heavenly Demon Body probably won't work. Even if the Holy Son of the Demon Court forcibly raises his realm to the Void Profound level, he can still transform into a Divine Immortal Body and defy the Void Profound level. Don't forget, the Heavenly Demon Sect... was destroyed by the first ancient emperor."

At the Tianyuan Grand Gathering, all the powerful figures regretted that one person was not present, and that they could not see the most monstrous genius of ten years ago compete with the current Princess You Ran and the Crown Prince of the Ancient Clan.

A few years ago, although Lin Jing was only ranked sixth on the Golden List, his reputation far surpassed that of the first-ranked Prince Gu and the second-ranked Princess You Ran.

Many people believe that Lin Jing did not go to challenge them simply because he did not want to waste his lifespan. Even if he had a longevity body, it was unnecessary. Which is more important, the bonus from the Golden Ranking or lifespan? This is a topic of endless debate. Most opinions believe that if Lin Jing fully activated his Heavenly Demon Body and was assisted by several rare beasts, he would definitely be able to defeat the ancient clan's crown prince and Princess You Ran.

It wasn't that Lin Jing couldn't win; it was just that the Holy Son of the Demon Court felt that winning wouldn't be worthwhile, so he didn't fight.

But now, with Princess You Ran revealing her divine form and defeating Xu Qingyao, public opinion has immediately reversed.

This is a celestial body.

No matter how strong the Heavenly Demon Body is, it can never defeat the Immortal Body.

Moreover, Princess You Ran's basic cultivation level has already reached the mid-stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

The ancient clan prince's basic cultivation level has already reached the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm.

According to the Fund Ranking, Lin Jing's current normal realm is only the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage.

The gap is too big.

Even those who sought the Dao believed that Lin Jing had no need to compete with the two ancient clan prodigies. Because the Origin Realm was a battlefield below the Void Profound level, even if Lin Jing paid a huge price to borrow power above the Void Profound level and defeated the two ancient clan prodigies, it would be meaningless, because this power was destined to be unusable in the Origin Realm, merely a mirage, an illusion.

The same power was known to all the powerful figures, including the Void Mysterious Ghost Mother.

Now, Lin Jing's secret of controlling immortal artifacts has been discovered by various powerful figures through the Netherworld Palace.

The true identity of the Void Mysterious Ghost Mother and the weapons of the Immortal Palace's war are no longer a secret.

The powerful weapons are those of the Immortal Palace, and the powerful one is the Void Profound Ghost Mother. This Holy Son of the Demon Court only has extraordinary luck, knows the Ghost Mother, and borrows her power. This power obviously has nothing to do with Lin Jing himself, and is also unrelated to the Origin Realm.

Among them, although the second-generation ancient emperor knew that Lin Jing had sealed the Ghost Mother's cultivation and made a contract with her, he also knew that the Ghost Mother was refused entry by the Origin Realm.

At the same time, the sealed Ghost Mother can no longer control immortal artifacts, and can at most control quasi-immortal artifacts.

However, the existence of the Void Mystery Ghost Mother did indeed strengthen the Demon Court's foundation, becoming the key reason why other demon beast forces chose to submit to the Demon Court.

"Has he arrived?" It could be said that most people no longer had high hopes for Lin Jing, but there was one exception: the Lord of the Demon Court.

The Demon Emperor knew that Lin Jing had resurrected the first ancient empress through the Book of Divine Spirits. He inquired about the specifics of the Book of Divine Spirits and learned that Lin Jing had once defeated the Creation Immortal Body in the Cave Heaven!

Having defeated even the Immortal Body of Creation, why would he fear the Acquired Immortal Body of the Ancient Clan? This was the source of the Demon Emperor's confidence in Lin Jing.

Back then, Lin Jing hadn't even contracted with the Ghost Mother yet, but he was already able to defeat immortal bodies of the same level. Now, he's only stronger. Although his basic realm is a bit low, as long as he makes up for it with the Heavenly Demon Body, he might not need to reach the Void Profound realm to have the ability to fight against immortal bodies.

"It's up to you."

After the Demon Emperor discovered that Lin Jing had descended, the other cultivators quickly noticed that someone was standing in the sky.

When they looked up at the figure in the sky, their pupils all contracted. Regardless of whether they were powerful figures or geniuses, regardless of age, gender, or cultivation level, the person's aura was too strange, and the creature he controlled was too terrifying.

Beneath the clouds, a black arm, resembling that of a giant, floated in the air. A figure in black stood on the back of the giant arm's palm... and the fleshy face on the palm below was even more terrifying, clearly not the work of a righteous person.

Lin Jing, the Holy Son of the Demon Court, stood nonchalantly on the Heavenly Demon's arm, observing everything below.

As the questioners noticed him, he slowly lowered his demonic arm, as if riding a flying sword, and landed on the ground.

"I'm so sorry... I'm late."

"I wonder if I can still take on the challenge?"

Lin Jing's gaze swept over the cultivators one by one, and finally, his gaze settled on the ancient prince and Princess You Ran. They were the first geniuses who dared to show off in front of a group of cultivators.

The Holy Son of the Demon Court!

Upon realizing the identity of the newcomer, many people were inwardly shocked, especially the mainland's prodigies who had only heard of Lin Jing's name but had never seen him in person.

"Naturally..." Facing the late-arriving Lin Jing, the second-generation ancient emperor, seated in the highest position, narrowed his eyes. This was...

The Great Demon Finger Technique?
