Beast Taming: My spirit beast bloodline is overloaded

Chapter 456 The Secret Realm of Snow Dragon Mountain

Divine Tiger Clan

Ji family
Inside the magnificent and ancient hall, the atmosphere was so heavy it was almost suffocating.

At the head of the table sat a middle-aged man in an embroidered tiger robe, his face imposing. He stared intently at a completely shattered life tablet in his hand, veins bulging on the back of his hand. The terrifying pressure emanating from him made those kneeling below tremble.

He was Ji Lin, the Supreme Elder of one of the two major factions of the Ji family.

The person kneeling was a spy from the Ji family.

"Speak! Why did Ji Shi's life tablet shatter? What exactly happened in the Black Mountain City secret realm?!"

Ji Lin's voice was as cold as ice, every word carrying a chilling killing intent.

"Reporting...reporting to the elder..." The scout's voice trembled as he recounted the intelligence he had gathered, "According to...according to our informants outside, the Black Mountain City secret realm has ended...Ji Shi...he and all his guards, they've all...all perished..."

"boom!"

A violent aura erupted from Ji Lin's body, and the chair beneath him instantly turned to dust!

"Who is it?!" Ji Lin's eyes were bloodshot.

"It should be... Lin Chen... and Li Zhen from the Monster Hunter Guild."

"Lin Chen...it's Lin Chen again!"

Ji Lin gritted his teeth, his gaze burning with fury.

This wasn't the first time he'd heard this name.

Lin Chen has now firmly secured a place in the top three of the Protoss's kill list.

Because everyone knows that Lin Chen's spirit beast is extremely powerful and has unlimited potential.

Ji Shi was one of his most beloved and promising juniors; otherwise, he wouldn't have had the opportunity to seize the fragments of the Great Dao.

Who would have thought that they would also be defeated by Lin Chen!

Where is Lin Chen now?!

"According to the latest intelligence... he has appeared in Nine Star City."

"Nine Star City..."

Ji Lin's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and his aura surged wildly. He was about to set off and raze Nine Star City to the ground.

"Ji Lin, no!"

Just then, an aged figure appeared from behind the main hall, blocking Ji Lin's path. It was Ji Ding, another Supreme Elder who had led the Divine Tiger Clan into the world. He stared at Ji Lin and said:

"You've razed Nine Star City to the ground, do you know what the consequences will be?"

"So you're not going to avenge Ji Shi?!"

Ji Lin knew he was referring to the Human-God Agreement, so he frowned and finally said, "I'll only kill Lin Chen, is that alright?"

Ji Lin remained clear-headed. Now, whoever breaks this agreement would be tantamount to the human race and the gods starting a new war, which was not in the interests of the gods.

Just as Ji Ding was about to answer him, a guard rushed into the hall, knelt down, and reported:

"Report! There are people from an ancient clan outside the gate requesting an audience."

"Ancient race?"

Ji Lin frowned. The Divine Tiger Clan and the Ancient Clan had little interaction. What were their people doing here?
"Did they explain their purpose?" Ji Ding seemed to have thought of something.

The guard swallowed hard and replied in a low voice, "The other party... only said one sentence: they came for Lin Chen."

"Please let him in!" Ji Ding waved his hand.

A moment later, a tall, slender man shrouded in a black cloak slowly walked into the hall.

With each step he took, he seemed to blend into the darkness, making no sound, yet bringing immense pressure to everyone in the hall.

When he raised his head, revealing his face beneath the cloak, everyone saw a lifelike phoenix totem embroidered with black and gold thread on his black outfit.

“Black Gold Phoenix…” Ji Ding’s pupils suddenly contracted.

The ancient clan's rarely seen patriarch is accompanied by two powerful guards, who are like his right and left hands, and their strength is unfathomable.

Rumors circulated that before joining the ancient clan, they were all members of the continent's top assassin organizations, their hands stained with the blood of powerful figures.

"My name is Gu Jing."

The man in black spoke in a hoarse voice, devoid of any emotion. He calmly swept his gaze over Ji Lin and said bluntly, "The Holy Maiden of the Ancient Clan has been crippled. The Clan Chief has ordered me to find Lin Chen and bring his body back."

Ji Lin and Ji Ding chuckled inwardly. If they were to talk about hatred, Lin Chen's hatred for the ancient clan was the deepest.

Even the Holy Maiden of the Ancient Clan was crippled by Lin Chen, which is a great humiliation. Given the domineering and protective nature of the Ancient Clan Chief, he will never let this go.

"What do you want?"

Ji Lin was asking a question she already knew the answer to.

The ancient mirror's gaze remained as calm as still water.
“Lin Chen, I’ll handle this. But as far as I know, he has Li Zhen with him, who has the Phoenix Arm and is quite powerful. I need someone to hold him off for me.”

Upon hearing this, Ji Lin fell into deep thought.

Li Zhen's Phoenix Arm is undeniably powerful; stopping this person will be no easy task.

Although there are strong individuals within the clan, but...

"The clan chief said that the Phoenix Arm can be obtained by those who are destined to receive it."

The ancient mirror spoke again, and this time both Ji Lin and Ji Ding were somewhat tempted.

Just then, as he was pondering, a steady and powerful voice came from outside the hall.

"Why don't you leave it to me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a young man dressed in white, with striking eyebrows and bright eyes, and an extraordinary demeanor, slowly walked into the main hall.

Upon seeing this person, Ji Lin and Ji Ding were initially taken aback, but then their faces showed respect.

Because the visitor was none other than Ji Changming, the Ji family's undisputed number one prodigy and the family's heir!
"Changming, you..." Ji Lin was about to speak.

Ji Changming walked straight to the ancient mirror, staring intently at him, and slowly said, "Li Zhen, I'll deal with him."

"The Phoenix Arm, the clan leader desires it."

The following sentence was naturally addressed to Ji Ding and the other person.

Upon hearing this, neither Ji Ding nor Ji Lin could stop him.

Ji Changming's spirit beast was level 96, making it extremely difficult for even Ji Ding and Ji Lin to kill him.

Li Zhen is only level 89, so even with the Phoenix Arm, he shouldn't be too difficult to deal with.

Gu Jing looked up, and his eyes, hidden in the shadows, swept over Ji Changming with the sharpness of a hawk, seemingly assessing his strength.

After a moment, he slowly uttered a single word.

"it is good."

Meanwhile, Lin Chen and Li Zhen, thousands of miles away, were completely unaware of all this.

At this moment, they are leading Ning Ye and the others, rushing towards the Southern Dragon Vein Mountain at full speed.

This mountain range is named Snow Dragon Mountain because its main peak is covered with snow all year round and its undulating terrain resembles a white dragon coiled on the earth.

It is not only the highest peak in the southern region, but also the core area with the most abundant spiritual energy in the entire south.

Five days later, they had already approached Snow Dragon Mountain.

"It seems like this is it."

A hint of excitement flashed in Li Zhen's eyes.

The closer they got, the more beast tamers they encountered, and their words confirmed the authenticity of the secret realm.

When Lin Chen and his group of ten arrived at the huge valley where the entrance to the secret realm was located, the scene before them surprised them slightly.

Thousands of beast tamers had gathered inside and outside the valley, forming a dense, dark mass, clearly drawn by the opportunity.

However, the secret realm was closed, so they could only wander outside.

After all, not everyone has a spatial spirit beast.

The arrival of Lin Chen and the others was nothing unusual; it just felt like there were a few more people.

However, since they were all of high rank, they quickly attracted attention.

A moment later, someone recognized Lin Chen's identity.

"Look! That person...doesn't he look a bit like Lin Chen?"

"Which Lin Chen?" "Who else could it be! The vice president of the Monster Hunter Guild, the one who owns the Divine Bull and the Divine Fox!"

Once the crowd recognized Lin Chen and Li Zhen, they erupted in excitement.

All eyes turned to him.

Lin Chen was already used to these looks and said directly to Ning Ye and the others, "Get ready, let's go in."

Having said that, he summoned the little blue fish with a thought.

"Gulu~"

As soon as the little blue fish appeared, Lin Chen had already given the order.

"Xiao Lan, do it!"

"Gulu!"

The little blue fish responded, and its eyes suddenly lit up with a dazzling silver-blue light.

Around its obese body, ripples began to appear in the space.

Immediately afterwards, a pair of dazzling, translucent wings, like dragonfly wings, slowly unfolded on both sides of its body!

Cloudwing Leap!

"Om-"

With a gentle flap of its wings, an indescribable and profound energy instantly spread out!
The space in front of the little blue fish was like a canvas torn open by an invisible hand, revealing a stable and deep black crack!

On the other side of the crack was the dense, almost impenetrable spiritual energy within the secret realm!
This shocking scene stunned everyone present.

Everyone's understanding of Lin Chen was still based on the domineering nature of the divine bull, the destruction caused by the little fox, the power of the great polar bear's laws, and even the rumors about the fire spirit.

No one expected that this little blue fish, which had never shown its abilities in public, was actually a rarer space-type spirit beast!
In an instant, countless gazes became fervent, even tinged with greed.

Space ability!

This is the ultimate ability that every beast tamer dreams of!

Just how many trump cards does Lin Chen still have hidden?

How could one person possibly possess so many extraordinary spirit beasts?

This is leaving no way for anyone else to survive!

Ignoring the almost frantic stares from those around him, Lin Chen quickly led Li Zhen and the others directly into the spatial passage.

The spatial rift existed for only a few seconds before closing instantly and disappearing without a trace after they had all entered.

Several quick-thinking beast tamers tried to rush in, but they all missed and crashed into the hard mountain wall.

After Lin Chen and his group completely disappeared, the place erupted in chaos, with discussions about Lin Chen becoming increasingly heated.

Lin Chen, who was traversing space for the second time, felt a little more comfortable, but before he could even open his eyes, he smelled a strong, nauseating stench of blood.

When they opened their eyes, the ground beneath their feet was dark red, as if it had been soaked in blood countless times, and the surroundings were deathly silent.

Looking around, the ground was littered with broken bones and dried corpses, some human, some of various mythical beasts, piled up like mountains.

Judging from the degree of weathering of these remains, they seem to have been dead for a very, very long time.

"How is this going?"

One of the monster hunters next to Ning Ye turned pale and felt a wave of nausea wash over him.

Even though they were used to seeing bloodshed, they found it too cruel at this moment.

"Be careful, something's not right here," Li Zhen said in a deep voice.

Lin Chen nodded, a strong sense of crisis rising in his heart as well.

Suddenly, Lin Chen turned around sharply and looked at a mountain peak in the distance, but unfortunately it was too far away and Lin Chen could not see it clearly at all.

The mountain peak was shrouded in thick fog.

"What's wrong?" Li Zhen asked.

"Nothing, nothing at all," Lin Chen said, not directly.

He just felt a pair of eyes watching him from there.

At the same moment, atop the highest peak of this eerie and mysterious realm, two figures stood suspended in mid-air, overlooking everything below.

The person on the left is the old doctor.

The other person, of course, is Bai Ling.

The Bai Ling of today no longer has the clear and pure look in her eyes; instead, they possess a maturity that reveals the ways of the world and a chilling indifference.

Although she was far away from Lin Chen and the others, her eyes, which seemed to see through the void, clearly reflected Lin Chen's figure.

"Why are they here?"

The old doctor frowned slightly, his tone carrying a hint of surprise.

Bai Ling did not answer, but simply stared quietly at the familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar figure below, complex thoughts churning deep within her cold eyes.

The time she spent at the monastery was the only period in her life during which she was free from the torment of illness and the worry of life and death.

Under the protection of Liu Gu and Lin Chen, she experienced the happiest period of her life.

But now, things have changed.

She is no longer the innocent and kind-hearted Bai Ling who needed protection.

Now, her hands are stained with blood, and she carries the burden of hatred.

She was hesitant and unsure how to face Lin Chen.

Because all these corpses scattered on the ground, all this carnage across the fields, was her doing.

"Let's go."

After a long while, Bai Ling withdrew her gaze and said in a cold voice.

The old doctor turned around and glanced at the misty mountain peak below, where a colossal black dragon could be vaguely seen sleeping.

That black dragon is the physical manifestation of this fragment of the Great Dao of the Secret Realm.

Once it is defeated, the fragment can be obtained.

He frowned and asked, "So... you're planning to give him this opportunity?"

Bai Ling nodded gently, without explaining.

"Okay." The old doctor gave her a deep look and nodded.

He wasn't too surprised by Bai Ling's choice.

However, just as they were about to leave, the old doctor suddenly stopped, a strange smile appearing on his lips:

"Since we have nothing else to do, and you haven't seen Lin Chen in a long time, why don't we... hide here and observe his current strength?"

"He is now the number one enemy of the gods."

Upon hearing this, Bai Ling's delicate body trembled almost imperceptibly. She remained silent for a moment before finally agreeing.

Seeing this, the old doctor made a hand seal and muttered incantations.

A mysterious power enveloped the two of them, and their figures instantly became transparent, completely merging with the surrounding space, with no trace of their presence leaking out.

……

Inside the secret realm, Lin Chen's expression grew increasingly solemn.

As they continued their journey, all they saw were corpses; they couldn't find a single survivor.

"This is too bizarre!" Li Zhen said in a deep voice. "This doesn't seem like a newly opened secret realm; it's more like an ancient battlefield that has existed for thousands of years!"

Lin Chen suddenly stopped, squatted down, and carefully examined a corpse, when he suddenly remembered something.

Whether it was the previous beast chaos or the war of the gods, the corpses that died were all in the same situation!
A chill rose from the depths of Lin Chen's heart.

His intuition told him that this was the person who had created all of this.
He is definitely not someone he can contend with now!
"Everyone, be on high alert!"

Lin Chen suddenly stood up and loudly warned Ning Ye and the others.

"hold head high--!!!"

Just as he finished speaking, a dragon's roar that shook the heavens suddenly resounded from the distant horizon!

Everyone looked up in horror, and saw that on the highest mountain in the center of the secret realm, the sea of ​​clouds was churning, and an unimaginably huge black dragon was slowly emerging from the clouds with its ferocious head!
