Beast Taming Ascension

Chapter 427 The Power of the Heavenly Demon (End of Volume 4)
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!!!"

On the scene, only one person remained calm, and that was the second-generation ancient emperor.

He wasn't truly calm; rather, he was feigning composure because he couldn't believe what he was seeing.

However, the second-generation ancient emperor's heart was already churning like a stormy sea.

Beside him, Gu Youran also showed a look of shock. She did not actually cultivate the True Dragon Secret Technique, but rather other cultivation methods and immortal bodies. However, she had sparred with her brother in secret.

Her immortal body was no match for the true dragon's immortal body.

Like most people, she initially believed that the battle was a foregone conclusion, but now, Lin Jing's single finger shattered the beliefs of all the ancient clan cultivators!

Let alone outsiders, even their own people, including the Demon Emperor of the Demon Court, were stunned, completely unaware of when Lin Jing had acquired such exaggerated strength.

What's going on with that finger gesture?

Let alone a Nascent Soul cultivator, even a cultivator who has only recently entered the Void Profound realm would have to give way upon seeing this.

When was it... and what was the situation?

Even if Lin Jing's avatar cultivated the "Heavenly Demon Scripture", there's no reason why this move should possess such power!

"Cough..." At this moment, the ancient prince only briefly lost consciousness. A moment later, he was shocked and stopped in mid-air, looking down at the "quasi-immortal armor" he was wearing. It could be said that it was thanks to this quasi-immortal artifact that he was able to be completely destroyed by this one finger, even if he had an immortal body.

He stared at the quasi-immortal armor with huge cracks, momentarily losing his ability to think. However, what awaited him was a casual sweep of Lin Jing's divine sense.

boom.

With the blessing of the Heavenly Demon Codex and the bloodline of the demon race, the power of the divine sense underwent a tremendous change, almost becoming a materialized black tsunami, which slammed the ancient prince to the ground for the second time.

"Quasi-Immortal Armor, indeed impressive." After Lin Jing discovered that the ancient prince was still conscious after two moves, he couldn't help but extend a second finger. The massive demonic arm pressed down from the sky to the ground with one finger, leaving the surrounding prodigies dumbfounded.

Just moments ago, he wanted to challenge the prodigies of the forest realm, but now, looking at that astonishing giant finger, he felt a sense of suffocation.

"This is... the magic of the Heavenly Demon Sect?"

Among all the prodigies, Shui Lingsu, the eldest disciple of Shuiyue Immortal Island, had the most acute senses. Observing the Heavenly Demon Finger, she instantly realized the consequences of encountering it.

dead!
A huge word for death appeared in her mind. Even from the outside, she felt her Dao heart shatter instantly, spitting out a mouthful of blood as a demon arose within her.

It should be noted that Lin Jing was only at the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage, yet he relied on his Heavenly Demon Body and two Heavenly Magic Spells to crush a Celestial Body, who was a whole realm higher than him, to this extent...

In an instant, the geniuses who were about to enter the Origin Realm all had an absurd thought in their minds.

If the prodigies of the Heavenly Demon Sect in the Origin Realm are like this... if the Heavenly Demon Sect cultivators who are about to invade the Heavenly Origin Realm are also like this.

They could say that they saw absolutely no chance of victory for the Heavenly Origin cultivators against the Heavenly Demon cultivators.

By the time the cultivators reacted, the Second Generation Ancient Emperor was already standing on the battlefield, next to the Ancient Prince who had been crushed to the ground by the Heavenly Demon's divine sense, and personally took the blow for him.

In an instant, the Tianyuan Grand Gathering site became the arena for the confrontation between the second-generation ancient emperor and Lin Jing.

"Your Majesty the Ancient Emperor?" Lin Jing looked at the other party. The intervention of the second-generation Ancient Emperor meant that the Ancient Prince had admitted defeat.

However, as a questioner, even if one wanted to stop this attack, was it really necessary to personally go to the scene?
Unless, of course, the Second Generation Ancient Emperor intended to avenge the Ancient Prince, bullying the weak and suppressing the utterly absurd Lin Jing on the spot. But even if the Second Generation Ancient Emperor was ridiculous, he wouldn't do such a thing. He felt the power of the Heavenly Demon Finger with his body and finally understood. This spell, besides being enhanced by the magic power of the corresponding cultivation technique, must have had a special power that greatly enhanced it. He didn't know what this special power was, but it was undoubtedly inseparable from the Heavenly Demon Sect.

Even in the ancient records about the Heavenly Demon Sect, there is no trace of this power.

He couldn't help but stare intently at Lin Jing.

"What is this power?" he asked.

Lin Jing calmly looked at the second-generation ancient emperor and said, "This is the power that the true core geniuses and core experts of the Heavenly Demon Sect can wield."

"It is a power that even the outer members of the Heavenly Demon Sect, such as the leader of the Heavenly Demon Sect in the Heavenly Origin Realm, fear and find difficult to attain."

"What, are you scared?"

He looked not only at the absurdly powerful Heavenly Origin Dao Inquiry experts, but also at the pale-faced Heavenly Origin prodigies.

"I haven't fully developed this power yet. If it were a Heavenly Demon Sect prodigy or a Heavenly Demon Sect expert who had fully developed it, it would only display an even more terrifying power."

"This is shown here as a reminder to everyone: the cultivators of the Heavenly Demon Realm are far more powerful than you imagine. If you are not prepared, what will happen to the Heavenly Origin Realm after you encounter them..."

"Why do you possess such power?!" The second-generation ancient emperor was nearly broken down, unable to accept that the immortal body he had carefully cultivated to fight against the Heavenly Demon Sect had been so ravaged.

For the first time, he lost his ancient emperor demeanor, his eyes filled with fear, as if he had suddenly lost faith in the Tianyuan Realm. However, it was only for a moment, and he quickly adjusted his mindset and regained his composure.

He turned and left, no longer paying attention to the ancient prince, and slowly spoke:
"You won this battle."

"It seems that the title of the number one genius of Tianyuan belongs to you."

"Everyone has their own opportunities. I won't ask how you obtained this power, but I hope that before you enter the Origin Realm, you can have some time to spar with each of the other geniuses who are about to enter the Origin Realm, so that they can all experience the true power of the Heavenly Demon."

"To prevent all the geniuses who enter the Origin Realm, except for you, from dying there and never being able to return."

"This will be a loss for my Tianyuan Realm."

After the second-generation ancient emperor finished speaking, Lin Jing looked at the excited demon emperor and agreed. It seemed that his strength had satisfied the leader, so the trip had not been in vain.

Lin Jing was also surprised by the second-generation ancient emperor's request, but he readily agreed. After all, he had been in the Tianyuan Realm for so long, and although he was not a native of this place, he did not want this realm to be destroyed.

"Alright." Lin Jing looked at the group of prodigies, including Senior Sister and Sword Immortal Lingyue, and slowly said, "Following the advice of His Majesty the Second Ancient Emperor, let me help you experience the true power of the Heavenly Demon during this time before you go to the Origin Realm!"

"For your own good, I... won't hold back."

As soon as he finished speaking, the faces of the prodigies changed. What the hell? What's going on with this immortal body? They looked at the miserable ancient prince... Wasn't he the holy son of the Beast Taming Sect? Wasn't he the holy son of the Demon Court? How come he looks like the holy son of the Heavenly Demon Sect now? No, he looks even more powerful than the former leader of the Heavenly Demon Sect!
The journey to the Origin Realm... The once confident prodigies are now filled with trepidation. The thought of encountering dozens or even hundreds of "Forest Realm" beings within the Origin Realm makes them feel hopeless about the future...
