Beast Taming Ascension

Chapter 521 Blood Demon God
"Wait a moment!!!"

"My benefactor, wait a minute!!!"

Just as Lin Jing was about to "pluck the feathers and send the crane home," the Star Longevity Crane suddenly spoke anxiously: "Don't send me back."

"Hmm?" Lin Jing looked at the Star Crane: "You're quite interesting. Why don't you want to go back?"

Of all the demonic beasts he summoned, Xing Shouhe was the first one that didn't want to go back.

Lin Jing touched his face, his heart sinking. Could it be that this little female crane had been subdued by his temperament?
Xing Shouhe looked around, seemingly relieved, as if it had escaped some kind of suffering. Although it didn't know what had happened or why it had been summoned here, Xing Shouhe looked like it had been freed from some kind of torment.

"Going back would be a death sentence."

It cried out in despair, "Senior, our territory has been invaded by a group of outsiders. They have kept us captive. If we go back, all that awaits me is to be eaten."

"After all, eating our flesh can prolong life."

"Aren't you afraid I'll eat you up?" Lin Jing asked.

Xing Shouhe said, "No, I can sense that my benefactor's life force is even stronger than that of the strongest patriarch in my clan. My flesh and blood are nothing to my benefactor."

"Besides, how old am I? I've only lived for a little over twenty years. To the Star Crane clan, what's the difference between that and being born!" it suddenly remembered something and retorted.

Lin Jing looked at it calmly.

"In your twenties, you're already quite old."

This is a Star Longevity Crane in its early twenties, at the Core Formation stage. According to the research conclusions of the Celestial Mystery Elder, the chance of Lin Jing contracting it and awakening its rare beast bloodline is almost zero.

Therefore, in Lin Jing's eyes, Xing Shouhe, who was in the Qi Refining stage, was considered young. What mattered was his cultivation level, while his age was secondary.

“Alright, whatever my benefactor says goes.” Xing Shouhe said with a heavy heart, “However, I am indeed the youngest in my clan. All the Xing Shouhe in the nearby starry sky have gathered in the ‘Xing He Realm’. Although I don’t know what kind of supernatural power my benefactor used to summon me here, I still beg my benefactor to rescue my clan as well.”

"At that time, our clan will be willing to serve our benefactor as our master."

"One of the racial supernatural abilities of our Star Crane clan is to extend the lifespan of others, which will surely help our benefactor."

"It's just about extending lifespan." Lin Jing's immortal body could also do that, but the Star Longevity Crane's words reminded Lin Jing of something.

It seems that all the Star Cranes in the nearby starry sky have gathered in this cultivation world called the Star Crane Realm after descending from the Ascension Star Pool.

So, who invaded this cultivation world...?

"The cultivators who invaded the Star Crane Realm call themselves the Heavenly Demon Sect, or rather, the supernatural powers and spells they use have the following characteristics..." Lin Jing confirmed, and the Star Crane's eyes gradually widened, and then it nodded repeatedly.

“That’s them!!”

"I see." Lin Jing fell into deep thought, then said, "How many Star Longevity Cranes are there over there? Give me some of your feathers, and I'll see if I can summon them over."

"Really."

This crane had exceptionally beautiful eyes, and upon hearing Lin Jing's words, it generously fluffed out many feathers.

Lin Jing obtained it and used the Great Summoning Technique again. With this successful experience, Lin Jing was certain that he had grasped the essence of locking onto the Star Longevity Crane Clan!

Next time, it will definitely be the Star Crane again. However, the Star Crane mentioned that it is currently the youngest member of the Star Crane clan, which makes Lin Jing a little worried.

But no problem.

As long as we can summon more Star Cranes and let them reproduce!

With this in mind, Lin Jing used the Great Summoning Technique to connect with the Star Crane Realm once again and locked onto a Star Longevity Crane. However, this time, the casting of the spell caused Lin Jing's expression to suddenly change.

The summoning failed; a powerful spatial force blocked his attempt.

This was the first time Lin Jing had encountered such a situation. He had summoned several crane demons at the Dao Inquiry stage before, but none of them could resist; they were all forcibly summoned. But this time…

Not only was it blocked, but the other party's voice could also be heard from an unknown distance.

"You dare steal my crane? I'll remember your spiritual power. Wash your neck and wait to die."

"Remember my name, Blood Demon God."

boom.

The summoning circle was blasted apart. Lin Jing wiped the blood from his mouth caused by the backlash, and his expression became serious.

"Benefactor, what's wrong?" Xing Shouhe, who had been summoned by Lin Jing, immediately asked with concern.

"It's no use." Lin Jing looked into the void and said, "There's a very powerful guy invading your world..."

“The Blood Demon God, I know him. The first time I summoned you, he probably didn’t even realize it, but this time, he interrupted my spell directly.”

This Blood Demon God is almost as famous as the Heavenly Vengeance Demon Emperor, and is also a complete monster. When Lin Jing heard about his name in the Origin Realm, he heard that his favorite thing was to bathe in the blood of immortal bodies and immortal beasts.

This crane's homeland was invaded by this creature.

Lin Jing sighed. It seemed that he would have a hard time summoning the Star Cranes in the nearby starry sky again.

He turned to look at the star-shaped crane in front of him, but one was enough.

Although it does not meet the requirements, the "mutated spiritual spring" synthesized by the pine leaf rat can directly allow humans and beasts to reproduce on their own. Lin Jing has already tested it. Although the offspring produced in this way have far inferior bloodline talents compared to the mother, there is no other way now.

"It's alright. May I ask, senior, why do you wish to summon the Star Crane clan?" While Lin Jing was still pondering how to persuade the other party to have children, the Star Crane suddenly took a deep breath, its hope extinguished, and then its gaze became serious again as it asked.

"It's nothing, I just want to find a young crane to raise as my starry sky mount," Lin Jing said casually.

"I am willing to become your mount, senior, and follow you in your cultivation. I wonder if you would accept me?" the Star Crane said earnestly.

"You want to cultivate with me to become stronger, then seek revenge on that Blood Demon God and save your people?" Having seen through the other's intentions at a glance, Lin Jing shook his head: "I advise you to abandon this unrealistic idea. That Blood Demon God is not someone you can fight..."

"If you do me a favor, I can teach you cultivation techniques, supernatural powers, and resources. But I still have to say, the invaders of your world are far more terrifying than you imagine. After all, your Star Crane clan is not particularly skilled in combat..."

“I can,” Hoshino-Shoku-Haku said. “When I was a child, I awakened a combat ability that did not belong to the Hoshino-Shoku-Haku clan. However, because I was being monitored, I never used it. That ability was very strong. Even a Hoshino-Shoku-Haku could unleash extremely powerful strength!”

Lin Jing was taken aback and looked at the Star Crane. Had it awakened... a combat divine ability?
Could it be some kind of magical power possessed by a rare beast?

It's outrageous. He wanted to find a young star beast to form a contract with in order to gamble on awakening a rare beast's bloodline, but what he summoned was a rare beast that had already been awakened.
