Beast Taming: My spirit beast bloodline is overloaded

Chapter 428 The Great Battle Ends, Announced to the World

After the other disciples and allies, with mixed feelings of exhaustion and victory, helped the wounded retreat to the temporarily cleared safe area behind them.

The ravaged core battlefield suddenly fell silent, leaving only the heavy stench of blood and the burnt smell of raging energy filling the air.

Lin Chen and his group of five stood on the ruins, their gazes all focused on the area that Qin Shaoshao was looking at, which was the place where the Tree Ancestor's massive body had finally collapsed and dissipated.

At this moment, the phoenix's brilliant golden-red blood was everywhere, but instead of gradually congealing and dimming as usual, it seemed to be drawn by some invisible force and began to flow strangely!

zizi——

Amidst the subtle sounds, all the scattered phoenix blood flowed like rivers returning to the sea, transforming into streams that rapidly converged towards the center, ultimately forming a blood-red vortex radiating a scorching and sacred aura.

And at the center of that vortex was the very place where the Tree Ancestor had fallen.

“This…what is this?!”

Elder Yu Xiu's pupils contracted sharply, his breath caught in his throat, and an almost unimaginable thought flashed through his mind like lightning.

Lin Chen, Xu Pingzhi, and the others were all shocked, staring at this extraordinary phenomenon with bewilderment.

When Qin Shaoshao asked them to stay, they sensed something was wrong.

Qin Shaoshao's emerald green eyes gleamed with a deep light as she spoke:
“I can sense that the lingering will of the Tree Ancestor has not completely dissipated; on the contrary, it is resonating with a certain power contained in the blood of these phoenixes.”

"Phoenix Blood... Rebirth from the ashes!"

The Grand Elder clapped his hands violently, his voice trembling with excitement. He stared intently at the center point, which was constantly absorbing the phoenix's blood and faintly emitting a green glow.

"That's it! How come I didn't think of that? The Phoenix bloodline naturally contains fragments of the laws of Nirvana!"

"Although not every drop of blood from a phoenix can lead to its rebirth, this power is contained within the ancestral phoenix, the Golden Crow."

"The Tree Ancestor itself possesses an extremely high level of life; if it can seize this opportunity to achieve miracle..."

He became more and more excited as he spoke, and an unbelievable light shone on his aged face:

"It may truly have a chance to reunite and reshape its original nature!"

Simply put, quantity leads to quantitative change.

This idea is too audacious, even somewhat shocking.

If the Tree Ancestor can truly achieve Nirvana through this, then perhaps he can take this opportunity to live a second life and truly step into the gates of the Immortal Realm.

Even though this is only the most optimistic speculation, such a faint hope is enough to make the Grand Elder ecstatic.

For the Spirit Institute, the Tree Ancestor is not only a guardian deity, but also a symbol of spirit and the source of its heritage.

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen and the others also showed expressions of shock and anticipation.

However, after absorbing all the phoenix's true blood, the blood-red vortex, although the green at its center seemed to solidify a little, did not undergo any more earth-shattering changes. It merely maintained a slow and mysterious pulse, as if it had fallen into a deep dormancy and transformation.

Qin Shaoshao frowned slightly, sensed for a moment, and said softly, "This process will be very slow and may be extremely fragile, unable to withstand any disturbance."

“Nirvana is no easy feat, especially for an existence like the Tree Ancestor, which requires a long time to gestate and transform.”

Upon hearing this, the Grand Elder quickly calmed down from his ecstasy.

He looked at the area shrouded in crimson light and faint greenery, then surveyed the ruins of the Spirit Academy, a flicker of pain crossing his eyes.

“I understand,” the Grand Elder said in a deep voice. “From now on, this area is designated as the highest restricted area of ​​the Spirit Academy, and no one is allowed to approach or disturb it.”

In fact, even without being designated as a restricted area, the Spirit Academy is no longer what it used to be.

With the academy grounds in ruins, the spiritual veins damaged, and disciples suffering heavy casualties, there is no longer any possibility of reopening and teaching.

Although the ancient tribes have retreated this time, who can guarantee that they won't make a comeback?
The future of the Spirit Institute remains shrouded in a heavy shadow.

Godfall Mountain
Protoss camp.

The atmosphere remained heavy, as if even the air itself was filled with mutual probing and hostility.

Xuanyuan Zhou, representing the Divine Race, still maintained his arrogant and condescending demeanor. Although the tug-of-war over the past few days had left a barely perceptible trace of anxiety between his brows, he firmly believed that the absolute strength of the Ancient Race army was enough to crush the pitiful resistance of the Spirit Academy. This would be the foundation for his ultimate victory at the negotiating table.

However, a sharp streak of light suddenly tore through the stagnant atmosphere above the camp, and an ancient clan communication jade talisman stained with dark red blood staggered into the hands of the ancient clan's deputy envoy like a stray dog.

The envoy scanned the information with his spiritual sense, and the arrogance on his face instantly crumbled, replaced by extreme shock and disbelief. He even couldn't help but exclaim in surprise:
"What?! This is impossible!"

The exclamation shattered the tranquility, and everyone's eyes were instantly drawn to it.

The deputy envoy's face turned ashen, his hands trembled, and disregarding the occasion, he hurried to Xuanyuan Zhou's side and whispered in a trembling voice.

The next moment, Xuanyuan Zhou's pupils suddenly dilated.

"What did you say?! Elders Gu Feng and Gu Zheng...died in battle?!"

"The army... has been defeated?! Only... a hundred or so men escaped?!"

He stood up abruptly, his voice sharp and distorted with extreme shock and incomprehension, the chair behind him creaking from his out-of-control breathing.

This news struck him like a thunderbolt from the heavens!

The second wave of attack, personally led by two elders at the half-step Immortal Realm, along with the ancient clan's army, actually...

Another failure?

And they were defeated so thoroughly that even Gu Feng and the other person perished?!
This was completely beyond his comprehension, beyond all the ancient clans' assessments of the strength of the lower realm!
How could the Spirit Institute possibly possess such power?!
Could it be that the Tree Ancestor burned everything?
Even so, they shouldn't have killed the two elders so easily!

Xuanyuan Zhou was completely dumbfounded, his mind went blank, and all his bargaining chips collapsed at this moment, giving rise to a sense of fear.

The rest of the ancient clan did not return, but instead went back to the land of the gods and informed Xuanyuan Zhou that the ancient clan would not participate in this negotiation for the time being.

On the other side, the human powerhouses led by Gu Youshan also heard the news. They were first stunned, and then they all showed expressions of surprise and uncertainty.

Upon hearing this, Gu Youshan was immediately enraged: "How could the ancient clans be so shameless, launching another sneak attack on the Spirit Academy during negotiations!"

But then, an even greater shock surged into his mind, "...The Spirit Academy actually withstood it? And... even killed Gu Feng and Gu Zheng?!"

When Gu Youshan learned the details of the news, that the Tree Ancestor had exhausted its strength and dissipated, but its power source had been completely inherited by Qin Shaoshao, who was a Heavenly Spirit Body, and thus achieved a true Great Completion Heavenly Spirit Body, Gu Youshan's half-closed eyes suddenly opened, and a terrifying light burst out from the depths of his pupils. He even couldn't help but gasp!
A fully matured Tree Ancestor is certainly terrifying, but it is still within the controllable and manageable range.

But a fully accomplished Celestial Spirit Body... that's just a legend!
Its potential is limitless, and it is especially adept at manipulating the power of life and spirit. Once it grows up, it is almost destined to be invincible among its peers, and even challenging those of higher levels is as easy as eating and drinking!
Its strategic significance and value far exceed that of ten ordinary half-step fairylands!

Gu Youshan instantly understood something: the Spirit Academy was no longer what it used to be.

A being with a Great Accomplished Celestial Spirit Body is comparable to one of the four great families of Tiandu.

"The Spirit Academy... is about to truly rise..."

This thought grew uncontrollably in his mind, and his eyes became incredibly complex, showing a mixture of pleasure, seriousness, and deep apprehension.

Two days later, the ninth round of negotiations began. Originally, Xuanyuan Zhou planned to use the matter of the Spirit Academy Dragon Vein to severely manipulate the human race.

But after this incident, everyone's mindset changed, and the negotiation ended in this strange atmosphere once again.

For the first time, a look of bewilderment and a hint of barely perceptible fear appeared on the faces of the ancient people, their invincible belief being brutally cracked.

While the representatives of the various human factions maintained solemn expressions, a tiny flame flickered deep within their eyes.
It turns out that the ancient tribes were not invincible!
It turns out that even among the human race, there can be power capable of shaking the ancient races!

A seed of differing beliefs has been quietly planted in their hearts.

……

灵院
夜晚
The ruins have not yet been cleared, and a somber atmosphere still hangs over the land. In recent days, everyone has endured their grief and carefully buried the remains of the fallen disciples, allies, and the spirit beasts that bravely died in battle on the highest peak behind the Spirit Academy.

From there, you can overlook the entire Spirit Courtyard.

The elder presided over a solemn and sorrowful prayer ceremony to comfort the deceased and encourage the living.

As night fell, the Grand Elder and the others gathered in a side hall that had not yet completely collapsed.

The flickering candlelight illuminated the weary faces of the crowd.

"Gentlemen," the Grand Elder said, rising first and raising his wine cup, "In this great battle of the Spirit Academy, we, the entire Spirit Academy, thank you all for your assistance and help."

"Without you, our Spirit Academy would probably not exist today."

Having said that, he raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp.

Xu Pingzhi and Chen Ming also stood up, picked up their wine glasses, drank them in one gulp, and then sat down.

The elder spoke again, saying, "Gentlemen, I would like to hear your thoughts on the next matter."

“If the ancient clans can come twice, they might come a third time,” Xu Pingzhi said. “I have already sent reinforcements from Lei City.”

"The Monster Hunter Guild too." Chen Ming nodded.

Now that things have come to this, and we've already started fighting, we have to be prepared to fight to the death.

The Grand Elder was deeply moved upon hearing this and bowed again. Unexpectedly, Lin Chen then said, "It is our responsibility to protect the Dragon Vein, but it is not entirely our responsibility."

"what do you mean?"

"Our three major powers should announce the results of the battle to the world and declare that we have formed an alliance to fight against the gods," Lin Chen said. "Every human should contribute their share to this cause."

"After all, we can hold out against one ancient clan, but what about two or three?"

Everyone fell silent upon hearing this.

In peacetime, such behavior is forbidden by heaven.

Although the Cangling Ancient Kingdom did not have a written rule, both in the capital and elsewhere, a tacit rule was generally accepted:
That means the power cannot be too great.

Otherwise, it could easily create a siphon effect, attracting too many top experts and leading to a monopoly.

This is a tacit check and balance, and it is the fundamental reason why the Spirit Academy, as an academy, has never been able to grow stronger.

What do you all think?

Lin Chen looked at them and asked again.

The crowd exchanged glances, and after a few breaths, Xu Pingzhi spoke first: "In extraordinary times, extraordinary measures must be taken."

"Elder Lin Chen's words are not without reason."

"I, Lei Cheng, am willing to join."

Chen Ming hesitated; this was a major decision.

He can't make that decision alone, because the Monster Hunter Guild itself is an alliance.

However, he still said, "I need to discuss this matter."

Three days later, Chen Ming brought accurate information, and the entire Monster Hunter Guild decided to participate.

Ultimately, under Lin Chen's leadership, the name was decided to be Spirit Alliance.

It doesn't mean that the Spirit Academy is in charge; it means an alliance to protect the dragon vein of the Spirit Mountain.

The leader ultimately chosen by the three major powers was Qin Shaoshao.

After all, the power of the Tree Ancestor has now been passed down to Qin Shaoshao, and she is currently the strongest, so her influence is naturally the greatest.

The Grand Elder, Chen Ming, and Xu Pingzhi will serve as Vice Alliance Leaders. As for status within the alliance, there is no distinction of rank or social standing; the goal is singular:
Fighting against the Protoss.

The next day, the Spirit Alliance announced to the world that it was disclosing information about the God Race for the first time, and explained in detail the purpose of the ancient race's attack, as well as the details of the battle at the Spirit Academy.

Finally, he called upon all beast tamers in the world to join him in fighting against the gods.

The news shocked the entire nation.

"What the heck is this 'century-long promise'?"

"Are there really forces in this world that we are unaware of?"

"So, they've been sucking our blood all along?"

"It sounds a bit far-fetched, but it should be true."

"The Spirit Academy Tree Ancestor has perished. It was the guardian deity of the Spirit Academy, and the Spirit Academy would not joke about this."

"We absolutely cannot give them the dragon vein, otherwise what use will our human race be?"

There was much discussion and some people questioned the situation, but soon someone revealed that the Spirit Academy was almost deserted, clearly having experienced a major battle.

Amid this turmoil, people quickly reacted.

Many people and forces in the central region have benefited from the Spirit Academy's kindness, especially during the War of the Beasts.

Therefore, many of them came to the Spirit Academy hoping to join and contribute.

Just as one wave subsided, another arose. The Western Regions also announced the formation of the Western Alliance, temporarily allying with the Spirit Alliance to deal with the unknown risks of the Western Regions' dragon vein.

Upon hearing this, everyone understood that after the beastly chaos, an even stronger and greater crisis might be on the horizon.

"what?"

"Has the Spirit Academy gone mad?"

Gu Youshan was pondering how to continue the negotiations, but when the news from the Spirit Alliance arrived, he was completely dumbfounded.

Tian Du has always been wary of one thing: information about the gods must not be leaked to the outside world.

This could incite public outrage, which would then prevent negotiations from taking place.

Gu Youshan had previously thought that the Spirit Academy always prioritized the overall situation, but now that the Spirit Academy had done this, it was clear that they couldn't bear it anymore.

"What did they say?" Gu Youshan asked.

"Elder Yu said that when the Spirit Academy is in trouble, it must rely on itself. Since the God Clan started the war, the Spirit Academy will no longer tolerate it," the messenger said.

"broken."

Gu Youshan was extremely anxious upon hearing this.

He knew that news of the gods must be spreading like wildfire.

There are only two paths left for humanity:
First, the Protoss will still sign the century-long pact and then continue to live in seclusion.

Second, if the Protoss reject this agreement, then a great war between the Humans and the Protoss is inevitable.

Because once the news spread, Tiandu, under pressure, would absolutely not give up another dragon vein.
