Beast Taming Ascension

Chapter 472 Taking orders in times of danger
Chaos had already broken out in the city of Xianlin.

The Canghai Immortal Spirits invaded Immortal City not only to expel Li Tianyi from the Origin Realm, but also for other purposes.

Above the city, Li Tianyi held up the enormous water comet in one hand and fought against the Canghai Immortal Spirit with the other, occupying the entire sky battlefield. The chaotic light collided with the primordial sea, shrouding the entire immortal city in mist.

Below, one water mass after another enveloped the defeated alliance cultivators, suspending them in the air, absorbing the nutrients from the human and demon cultivators, and continuously providing power to the various sea spirits.

"The very essence of human life is truly delicious."

In the Void Sea, a giant octopus was connected to a mass of water by its tentacles. Although some cultivators realized the problem and wanted to join forces to kill the octopus, there were an unusually large number of spirits guarding the giant octopus.

Octopus Ancestor, a veteran spirit under the command of the Immortal Spirit of the Vast Sea, possesses the ability to extract life essence and bestow it upon other marine spirits, thereby enhancing their power.

"Ugh... Ugh!" Under the control of the Octopus Ancestor, hundreds of prodigies have already perished and become nutrients. In addition to those who have died completely, there are dozens of others who are trapped inside the water sphere with heavy injuries. They struggle incessantly inside the water sphere but are unable to break through and can only watch helplessly as their lives slip away.

Inside the water sphere, there were even two Tianyuan cultivators. Wan Renzong, the successor of the Martial Emperor, had lost an arm in the battle, and his blood stained the water sphere red. With his remaining strength, he tried to break the water sphere that suddenly enveloped him, but his fist, which was powerful enough to smash several mountains, was as powerless as hitting cotton.

"Damn it..." Emperor Wan Renzong felt a deep sorrow.

If he hadn't been a body cultivator with a more vigorous life force, he would have already become a dried-up corpse.

On the other side, there was another female cultivator in blue trapped in a water sphere. Compared to Wan Renzong, she was in better condition. However, with a soft exclamation, Shui Lingsu, the senior sister of Shuiyue Immortal Island, felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave.

"Huh, there's actually another 'Original Body'. No wonder it can hold out for so long." The Octopus Ancestor noticed the Water Spirit Essence. Water Moon Immortal Island has a cultivation method that can help one cultivate an acquired Original Body. An Original Body can form a contract with the sea and control the most primal power of the ocean. Therefore, in the Tianyuan Realm, the ocean is Water Moon Immortal Island's absolute home ground. Even the Tianyuan Ancient Kingdom cannot break through Water Moon Immortal Island on the sea.

However, facing the numerous marine spirits under the command of the Canghai Immortal Spirit, and these incarnations of the sea, the original power of the Water Spirit Essence was hardly able to have any effect on them. She was captured alive in no time. However, thanks to her original body, she was able to withstand the octopus ancestor's devouring water sphere for a long time without being refined.

"It's over." Although she hadn't been refined before, as the Octopus Ancestor cast his gaze upon her, Shui Lingsu felt a sudden jolt in her heart, sensing that her life was nearing its end.

Whoosh!
Dozens of tentacles reached into the water sphere from the void, instantly binding the Water Spirit tightly.

"If you kill me, he won't let you go..." Shui Lingsu said with difficulty, in her desperate situation.

She vaguely remembered that the island lord had told her that if she encountered a life-or-death crisis in the Origin Realm, she could try to seek help from Lin Jing!

"Huh? Who? Li Tianyi? Hahaha, he can't even protect himself!"

The octopus ancestor couldn't help but laugh.

“It’s me…”

However, the octopus ancestor stopped laughing the next moment.

"You two... are lucky."

Unbeknownst to them, the Milky Way that had enveloped the city had been smashed open, leaving a gaping hole. From outside the hole came a voice that was instantly familiar to Wan Renzong and Shui Lingsu, and it was also recognized by Gu Xinghe and others in other places, who were engaged in battle.

boom!
Before anyone could be seen, a pair of magical artifacts resembling bull horns pierced through the air and headed straight for the Octopus Ancestor. The ocean spirits guarding the Octopus Ancestor instinctively tried to block them, but these bull horns were as terrifying as celestial artifacts. These spirits were only slightly affected by their power and instantly turned into water vapor and disappeared from the world, losing their lives completely.

"A celestial beast! The Forest Realm!"

As the two figures entered the city, the Octopus Ancestor was greatly alarmed. According to intelligence, the Longevity Body Forest Realm should be recuperating from its injuries, and judging from its battle with the Demon Taro, its control over the immortal beasts was also very weak.

But now, Lin Jing, with his long hair half white and half black and a life-and-death power comparable to the Void Profound Magic Power, walked into the city. The Octopus Ancestor was shocked to find that this guy was not seriously injured at all. In fact, the terrifying magic power connecting him and the immortal beast's corpse was not insufficient at all, as vast as the ocean.

Furthermore, the art of controlling corpses can even reach the point where the offensive organs of celestial beasts can be used as magical weapons.

The bull's horn transformed into a beam of light, piercing directly through the octopus ancestor's body. In the face of death, the octopus ancestor transformed into a stream of water and fled quickly. Lin Jing paid it no further attention, as many eyes were fixed on it...

At this moment, the cultivators who had been swallowed by it fell from the shattered water sphere as if they had been released.

When Wan Renzong, Shui Lingsu, and the others saw that it was Lin Jingguicheng, they felt inexplicably relieved, as if they had found their pillar of support.

"Immortal Body of Immortality! Haha, Junior Brother, you've become even stronger."

At that moment, Li Tianyi and Canghai Xianling also noticed Lin Jing and sensed Lin Jing's current state. Li Tianyi laughed and his previously somewhat confused eyes suddenly lit up.

"Given your current state, you should be able to freely control the corpse of a celestial beast, right?"

"This guy..." Canghai Xianling looked at Lin Jing with ill intent at this unexpected turn of events.

The next moment, he suddenly sensed that Li Tianyi had increased his power.

"You've arrived just in time! In my capacity as the young leader of the Immortal Cultivation Alliance, I hereby appoint you as the acting city lord of Immortal Descent City. I hope you can lead the alliance cultivators who arrive later to repel these monsters. We must not allow Immortal Descent City to fall!!!"

"You..." Lin Jing looked at the figure holding the comet and fighting the immortal spirit, and realized that after several days of fighting, Li Tianyi was probably already at his limit. He was not about to be defeated, but was about to lose control of his cultivation level!

The other party had been struggling to hold on, and my appearance seemed to finally give them a sigh of relief.

"Some alliance cultivators have already returned to Pangu Continent. The Immortal Cultivation Alliance will gather reinforcements as soon as possible to send them into the Origin Realm. In the meantime, Junior Brother Lin, I entrust Immortal City to you. Next, I will use my last strength to seal a portion of the Canghai Immortal Spirit's magic power!"

With Lin Jing's arrival, Li Tianyi finally had no more worries. Although he didn't know exactly how strong Lin Jing had become, at this crucial moment, he couldn't find another cultivator capable of resisting the Canghai Immortal Spirit besides Lin Jing.

As long as Lin Jing can resist for a while, it will give the Pangu Continent more time to come up with a solution... In the current situation, he believes that even if they use all kinds of immortal-level resources, no matter how wasteful it is, the experts of the Immortal Cultivation Alliance will be able to quickly send in a few geniuses whose combat power is close to that of an immortal spirit.

"Acting city lord...me..."
