Beast Taming: My spirit beast bloodline is overloaded

Chapter 429 The Strongest Upgrade Pill: Karmic Fire Pill (Two-in-One)

The establishment and declaration of the Spirit Alliance were like a boulder thrown into a lake that had been calm for a hundred years, and the ripples it stirred up quickly spread to every corner of the Cangling Ancient Kingdom.

Every day, new figures arrive at the gate of Lingyuan Mountain.

Among them were rogue cultivators who had once received the favor of the Spirit Academy, disciples of sects who had fought side by side during the beast chaos, and countless young beast tamers whose blood was still hot and who were filled with righteous indignation after hearing the secrets of the gods.

"My life was saved by the physicians of the Spirit Academy. Now that the Spirit Academy is in trouble, how can I sit idly by!"

"Protecting the dragon vein is protecting the foundation of our human race! Count me in!"

"The Western Alliance has been established in the Western Regions. How can we fall behind? We are willing to join the Spirit Alliance to fight against the gods!"

Upon each arrival, the Grand Elder would have someone inform them that the upcoming battle would be very dangerous.

If anyone feels afraid, they can go back; no one will laugh at them or stop them.

Some people did leave, but many more stayed.

Many people have learned a lesson from the chaos of the beasts: only by uniting can they survive.

Although Qin Shaoshao doesn't show herself often, the existence of her Great Completion Heavenly Spirit Body is itself a dazzling banner, attracting heroes from all sides to come and serve her.

The Grand Elder, Lin Chen, and others were extremely busy, reorganizing personnel, distributing resources, and repairing the Spirit Academy, which enabled the Spirit Alliance to grow rapidly in a very short time.

However, the convergence of this power also caused unease in Tiandu.

Twenty days later, an uninvited guest arrived at the Spirit Alliance: Gu An.

Lin Chen had absolutely no liking for Gu An.

If he ever gains the power to settle scores with Tiandu, the first family he will target is the Gu family.

The Gu family of today is no longer the Gu family that Gu Wei once belonged to.

Gu An's arrival clearly represents not only the Gu family, but also Tiandu.

"Everyone, we're all acquaintances, so I'll get straight to the point." Gu An glanced at Lin Chen and the others, feeling a pang of emotion.

The first time I met Lin Chen was at the Beast Fighting Tournament.

But now, in just a few years, Lin Chen has grown to such an extent.

Lin Chen doesn't need a background now; he can sit here solely on his strength.

Not to mention, his background is no less impressive than anyone else's.

Everyone in the world knows that Qin Shaoshao and he have the best relationship.

Qin Shao Shao's achievements and strength speak for themselves.

"The matter of the Spirit Alliance has caused too much of a stir."

"It is not that Tiandu is unsympathetic to the Lingyuan's plight, but at this crucial moment in negotiations with the Divine Race, to so openly provoke them with such a grand display is truly unwise!"

"This will thoroughly enrage the gods, causing negotiations to collapse and war to reignite! When countless lives are lost, who can bear the responsibility?"

Gu An spoke slowly, but his voice carried a hint of authority.

The Spirit Alliance is now very powerful, with three major forces at its base. In fact, to a certain extent, it can already rival many forces in Tiandu that have been merged together.

Tian Du did not want to see this happen.

"Then what does Lord Gu hope we will do?" The First Elder smiled calmly, his eyes narrowed.

"Listen to my advice: immediately disband the Spirit Alliance, withdraw the announcement, and publicly declare it as a temporary expedient measure to deal with the ancient clan's attack."

"Tian Du will do everything in its power to secure a hundred-year agreement that is most beneficial to the Spirit Academy and the human race. This is the right path!"

As Gu An spoke, he glanced at everyone. He had expected to see hesitation on the faces of the Grand Elder and the others, but to his surprise, none of the four people present showed any hesitation.

Their eyes were very firm.

After listening quietly, Elder Yu Xiu's aged face remained calm, only his eyes were sharp as an eagle's.

He slowly rose to his feet, his voice calm yet carrying an unwavering resolve:
"Lord Gu, when the Spirit Academy was attacked, where was Tiandu? When the negotiations were dragged out, and the ancient clan's army besieged the city for the second time, did Tiandu send a single soldier to its aid?"

"Our disciples of the Spirit Academy fought valiantly, and the Tree Ancestor bravely sacrificed himself, which brought us a sliver of hope!"

"Now, with a casual 'unwise' remark, you expect us to dissolve the alliance we've forged with blood and flesh, to continue to swallow our pride, and to place our hopes on the enemy's charity and a contract with no guarantee whatsoever?"

His tone instantly turned icy: "The gods have never given up their desire to destroy us, and they cannot be restrained by a mere piece of paper."

"The Spirit Alliance will not disband, and we will not yield an inch of the Dragon Vein! If this is the God Race's 'scale,' then our Spirit Alliance will be the ones to bear that scale!"

Although Xu Pingzhi and Chen Ming didn't say much, their firm gazes said it all.

Gu An's face turned pale and then red. He tried to threaten again: "You are going to drag the human race into an abyss of no return!"

"Don't try to pin this on me," the Grand Elder shouted. "I knew what kind of people Tiandu were after the beast chaos that day."

“You don’t care at all as long as it doesn’t involve your interests.”

"If the gods only want eight dragon veins, but not the one in Tiandu, I think you would agree."

"Elder!" Gu An said coldly, "Are you slandering us?"

"slander?!"

The Grand Elder said coldly, "Do you really think I know nothing about what happened at the Beast Fighting Tournament?"

Gu An's pupils contracted.

The matter of the Beast Fighting Tournament is treason.

Gu An thought he had done this perfectly, so he was surprised that the Grand Elder knew about it.

Gu An didn't care. Now Gu An represented the Gu family and Tiandu, and the Spirit Alliance couldn't do anything to him.

"Since you insist on this, then you'd better watch yourselves," Gu An said with a smile. "If humanity is ever on the verge of extinction in the future, you will be the sinners."

After saying this, Gu An cupped his hands in farewell and then took his leave.

But the Grand Elder and others remained steadfast.

This battle must be fought.

Even if in the end only one soldier remains.

At the negotiating table in the Godfall Mountains, the atmosphere had also reached a freezing point.

Looking at Xuan Yuanzhou across from him, whose face was so gloomy it was almost dripping with water, Gu Youshan's last glimmer of hope was shattered.

The news from the Spirit Alliance has obviously reached here as well.

There is now a strong voice of opposition to the gods throughout the world.

Gu An's message also arrived: the Spirit Alliance refused to back down, which meant that there was no hope for further negotiations.

The Spirit Alliance's scheme is tantamount to putting both the human and divine races on a hot seat.
To put it bluntly, it's a matter of saving face.

"Elder Xuanyuan," Gu Youshan took a deep breath, making a final effort.

"The matter of the Spirit Academy had its reasons. If the nobles are willing to sign a hundred-year agreement and guarantee not to infringe upon the Dragon Vein again, Tiandu will do its utmost to make the Spirit Alliance apologize and resolve the conflict..."

Xuanyuan Zhou abruptly interrupted him, his voice sharp and full of mockery. His eyes had lost their previous arrogance, replaced only by a furious rage and murderous intent born of humiliation.
"I think it's unnecessary. The whole world is against signing any more treaties."

"You humans can't stand this kind of humiliation, can you?"

He suddenly stood up, his aura surging:
"I think there's no need for further negotiations! Since you humans have chosen war, then prepare to bear the wrath of the gods!"

"The century-long agreement is now worthless! You will face annihilation!"

Before the words were even finished, Xuanyuan Zhou had already transformed into a streak of light, leading all the ancient clan followers away in anger, and the negotiations had completely broken down.

Gu Youshan stood frozen in place, gazing in the direction they had disappeared, let out a long sigh, and wearily closed his eyes.

He knew that the worst had still happened.

The illusion of peace has been shattered, and a full-scale war sweeping across the entire continent is now inevitable.

Can you blame the Spirit Institute for this? Of course not.

The Spirit Academy has already acted very ethically. When the ancient race launched their first attack, the Spirit Academy did not announce it to the public, but the ancient race actually launched a second wave of attacks.
Even the most good-tempered person would no longer tolerate it.

But as the Grand Elder said, the people and forces of Tiandu have always only cared about their own interests.

They wouldn't care about life and death outside unless it affected their own interests.

He waved his hand, his voice hoarse: "Pass down the order... negotiations are over, everyone... retreat to Tiandu, prepare... for war."

Meanwhile, within the ancient clan's territory.

The hundred or so survivors who managed to escape brought back the devastating news that Elders Gu Feng and Gu Zheng had died in battle and that the army had been almost completely wiped out, which shocked the entire high-ranking members of the Gu clan!

The atmosphere inside the solemn hall was terrifyingly oppressive.

"Useless! Two half-step immortal realm cultivators, bearing the bloodline of the phoenix, actually perished at the hands of a mere mortal!" a hot-tempered elder roared, his voice like thunder. "A humiliation beyond measure! If this feud is not avenged, how can our ancient clan maintain its dignity?"

"We must immediately muster our troops, raze that Spirit Academy to the ground, and extract the soul and refine the spirit of that so-called Heavenly Spirit Body!"

"Absolutely not!" another, more composed elder immediately retorted, his expression grave.

"The Spirit Academy's ability to kill Gu Feng and Gu Zheng was no fluke. That Heavenly Spirit Body, capable of absorbing the Tree Ancestor's Dao Fruit, possessed methods far exceeding our expectations. Sending another large army rashly, if further mishaps occur…"

"Are we just going to let this go?!" The elder glared angrily.

"Of course not!" the composed elder said in a deep voice. "We need to consider this carefully."

"What are you planning?" the elder shouted. "Do you want the humans and other divine races to look down on our ancient race?"

"This matter must be resolved by our ancient clan in order to restore our dignity."

As they talked, the two started arguing.

Until a cold, muffled sound rang out:

"What's the noise about?"

Upon hearing this, everyone's pupils constricted sharply, and they all stared at the doorway.

Two people stood there, scanning their auras, both bowing respectfully and daring not to say another word.

Gu Zheng and Gu Feng are among the four elders, while these two are the remaining two elders.

The leader was named Gu Zhong, the head of the four elders, whose strength was unfathomable.

The one following behind is named Kojuku, and it ranks third.

The arrival of the two instantly dominated the entire scene.

When Gu Chong stepped into the chief position, he made an even more astonishing statement.

"The clan leader is already aware of this matter."

Upon hearing this, everyone's pupils suddenly contracted.

"The clan leader has emerged from seclusion?"

They haven't seen their chieftain for three hundred years, nor have they heard any news about him.

“He hasn’t come out of seclusion yet. This little spiritual academy isn’t enough to make him come out of seclusion,” Gu Zhong said coldly.

“I told you, we had to fight,” the hot-tempered elder said.

Gu Zhong glanced at him, his gaze sharp, and said:
"We must fight, even if it costs us everything, we must raze the Spirit Academy to the ground."

"However, it is no longer just a battlefield between us. The Xuanyuan clan has already withdrawn from the human race."

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately understood, and someone said:
"So, the human race and the gods are going to go to war again?"

“That’s right,” Gu Zhong said. “The Spirit Academy has formed the Spirit Alliance and announced the existence of the God Race to the outside world. Now the anti-God Race sentiment is very strong throughout the world.”

"Neither humans nor gods can swallow this insult."

After saying that, Gu Zhong and Gu Su left.

This time, they need to go to the temple to convene a meeting of the gods to discuss the matter of attacking the human race.

灵院
With the framework of the Spirit Alliance finally complete, Lin Chen finally had some free time.

This battle was extremely fierce.

Xiao Bai's performance was also quite remarkable, and after the Fire Sprite was able to use skills, Lin Chen's spirit beasts were finally able to form a line, which was:
The true fire of Xiaobai + Xiaohuo + the beastly power of Xiaolanyu.

But Lin Chen understood that this was not the optimal solution.

The optimal solution is:
Little fox + True Fire Possession + Little Blue Fish.

In a large-scale battlefield, the little fox's strange fire nuclear bomb would be a devastating weapon.

Unfortunately, the little fox is still some distance away from reaching level 80.

However, Xiaobai leveled up 2 times in this battle, reaching level 82.

Xiao Hong also leveled up, but she was only level 77, three levels away from level 80.

“When the time comes, you can handle the low-end combatants with just one fox,” Lin Chen said to Xiao Hong.

Xiaohong nodded.

Unexpectedly, Liu Gu said from the side, "Actually, there is a way to help Xiao Hong break through, but I don't know if it will work?"

"Won't this be forcing growth?" Lin Chen worried.

"Of course not," Liu Gu shook his head and said, "Didn't many phoenixes die in this battle?"

Lin Chen nodded.

“These phoenix skeletons can be used to refine the Karmic Fire Pill,” Liu Gu said quickly. “Ordinary spirit beasts definitely cannot withstand this Karmic Fire Pill, because its properties are extremely violent.”

"Why have I never heard of this before?" Lin Chen wondered.

“That’s for sure,” Liu Gu said. “This elixir requires more than 10 phoenixes. In the past, let alone 10, even obtaining the remains of a single phoenix was a pipe dream.”

"It is also known as the strongest upgrade pill!"

Lin Chen thought about it and realized that it seemed to be true.

He pondered for a moment and said, "If it really works, we can give it a try."

He and Liu Gu then went to ask the Grand Elder, who nodded and said, "That is indeed the case."

After thinking for a moment, he looked at the fire spirit again and said, "Anyway, there are plenty of phoenix bones. Let's make another one and give it to the fire spirit as well."

The elder had taught the little fox how powerful it was in such a large-scale war.

Lin Chen and Liu Gu then left the area and went to the back mountain to select some remains.

Passing by the place where the Tree Ancestor fell, Lin Chen was surprised to find that a sapling had actually grown there.

Lin Chen and Liu Gu were overjoyed at the sight. They did not linger, but bowed slightly and left.

They selected a total of twenty skeletons, and then Liu Gu sent the giant polar bear to fetch water.

This single carrying of water amounted to a full one hundred buckets, completely filling the enormous medicine vat that Liu Gu had brought.

"Why do we need so much water?" Lin Chen asked, puzzled.

"Bone broth."

Liu Gu said, "This Karmic Fire Pill is not so easy to refine. It not only requires the remains of a phoenix, but also has requirements for the flame used in its refinement."

"If it weren't for your Taiyi True Fire, I might not have been able to master it."

"So demanding?!"
