Beast Taming Ascension

Chapter 589 Keep the music playing, keep the dance going!
The offspring of two exceptionally talented spirits, synthesized through a Celestial King-level divine power, are both exceptionally gifted.

However, since it was mass-produced, the spirits did not contribute their most essential essence and crystallization. Although these offspring were talented, they were not necessarily top-tier.

But the chance of having offspring, the randomness of genetic mutation, is precisely the "possibility" that spirits gamble on.

Spiritual King.

Undoubtedly, she is the one with the most severe genetic mutation among the many descendants of the Goddess of the Underworld. Although it was not obvious at the beginning, her talent became more and more apparent as she grew up. She could even compress and condense the ordinary spiritual power of the lower realm into the power of stars to a level close to that of immortal power.

This made many humans pale in comparison, marveling at the other's aptitude, which was no less than that of a top-tier immortal body.

The other party was even luckier, as they obtained the divine power of a rare beast.

The Demon Emperor did not know the name of this divine power, only that it was far more powerful than his rare beast divine power, and that it could create five red and five black spheres that would surround his body.

When a red sphere collides with a black sphere, it unleashes a terrifying power that destroys all magical artifacts and supernatural abilities.

The Demon Emperor had never seen such a domineering attack. Back then, she had tried her best, but she had only managed to force the opponent to use eight stone beads.

The other side still has two unused ones.

The Demon Emperor initially judged that the collision of two stone beads was enough to easily kill an ordinary cultivator, the collision of four stone beads was enough to contend with a cultivator with an immortal body, the collision of six stone beads would even kill an immortal beast, and eight... combined with the opponent's top-notch aptitude... even she, a demon with immortal bloodline wielding an immortal artifact, was no match for him.

The Demon Emperor dared not imagine how powerful ten pills would be, but she still believed that Lin Jing could deal with this arrogant brat.

To witness this scene, the Demon Emperor emerged from seclusion after a long hiatus to attend the Spirit King's ascension ceremony! Although she had been defeated by the Spirit King and felt somewhat embarrassed, she wanted to see Lin Jing teach this disrespectful stone man a lesson.

However, what the Demon Emperor didn't expect was that Lin Jing only sent the Ice Soul Gu to meet the other party alone...

West Desert.

The Hall of the Spirit King.

As the date for the tribulation announced by the Spirit King drew near, more and more powerful cultivators arrived in the Western Desert. However, they did not approach the Spirit King's Palace, where the Spirit King was stationed, but merely observed from afar.

After all, heavenly tribulations are something that can easily backfire.

The Ascension Tribulation is considered the most difficult tribulation in the lower realm. In today's world where ascension is impossible, it is actually optional to undergo it, since even if you do, there will be no ascension passage to appear.

However, some powerful individuals, in order to test the strength of their Dao and whether they have the ability to ascend, will still choose to take on the challenge. Some die and their Dao disappears, while others make their Dao more refined and become outstanding among ordinary Dao seekers.

The Demon Emperor had already passed the ascension tribulation long ago. The Spirit King could even defeat the Demon Emperor, so no one thought it couldn't overcome an ordinary ascension tribulation, but…

The situation on Tianyuan Continent is quite special because the Immortal Palace has rewritten the rules. The spirit race will not only have to endure the Heavenly Tribulation earlier, but the intensity will also be greatly increased compared to humans and demons. Therefore, the ascension tribulation that the Spirit King is about to encounter may be the most powerful Heavenly Tribulation in the history of Tianyuan Continent.

This is exactly what the Spirit King wanted; he planned to use the enhanced Heavenly Tribulation of this ancient immortal palace to demonstrate his power.

"Let me see just how strong this tribulation of this realm can be..." the Spirit King murmured.

Although many powerful cultivators were merely observing the ascension ceremony from afar, beneath the throne of the Spirit King, there was a scene of singing and dancing, with a large number of human and demon dancers dancing around the Spirit King's palace, seemingly celebrating this auspicious moment.

Everyone knows that King Ling disliked being a human's pet beast.

Even though the contracts signed by the spirits of the Origin Realm were all equal, the Spirit King was still displeased.

After arriving in Tianyuan, the Spirit King discovered that prejudice in people's hearts was a huge mountain. Despite the equal contract, everyone still regarded spirits as "pets" and as appendages of beast tamers. The spirits could not get rid of the label of "pets".

It cannot accept the world's opinion.

Therefore, the contract was terminated.

It also dislikes those spirits that maintain contracts with humans, so all spirits that come to it must be independent individuals.

Perhaps in order to shed its former label as a pet beast, it recruited many humans and demons, making them submit to it.

boom! ! !
With the attention of powerful figures from all walks of life, the Spirit King, who was attempting to ascend, quickly summoned the Ascension Tribulation. The Spirit King, who floated up, also demonstrated his invincible strength to the Tianyuan Continent!

One, two, three... twelve beads, six red and six black, mysterious black beads, made the powerful onlookers take a deep breath.

"Two more!" The Buddha was shocked. He knew that when the Spirit King defeated the Demon Court Lord, who had advanced to the level of a Celestial Beast and was wielding a Celestial Artifact, he only needed eight.

How could the Spirit King's strength have increased so quickly!

It seems the Buddhist sect can't reclaim the Western Desert.

"Twelve..." The Demon Emperor's lips twitched. After being defeated, she went into seclusion to cultivate diligently and was confident that she could break through eight of them, and even try to fight against ten. But how could the opponent's progress be as outrageous as Lin Jing's?

Even veteran figures like the Second Generation Ancient Emperor, the Martial Emperor, and the Master of the Tower of Heaven shook their heads.

Xu Qingyao, Gu Xinghe, Wang Che, Feng Ning and other new generation Daoists sighed inwardly. Apart from Lin Jing, they were originally the most dazzling existences in Tianyuan Continent, but unfortunately, such a monster was born among the spirits and monsters who came to Tianyuan.

Could this Spirit King be the chosen one of the spirit race? "This ascension tribulation will probably be blasted apart in an instant..." Besides, there are also ancient beings like Granny Yinshan, who were at the peak of the Void Profound Realm a thousand years ago, and some of them have also successfully asked the Dao.

All eyes of those seeking enlightenment on the Tianyuan Continent were focused here, especially on the spirits and monsters who gazed at the Spirit King with fervor, believing that his talent might be no less than that of the one in the Origin Realm…

To lead the spirits of the Origin Realm to a more glorious state... If possible, the spirits would naturally prefer to be led by one of their own kind rather than a human.

But the next moment.

Amidst the ascending tribulation clouds, a terrifying figure suddenly materialized. The dark clouds still obscured the sun, but within the flickering thunderclouds, the shadows of eight giant legs seemed to appear, making it exceptionally eerie.

"What is this?" It seemed that no one had ever seen such tribulation clouds or such an ascension tribulation before. Although they had heard that in ancient times, immortals from the upper realm would occasionally shoot down projections to personally test those who were ascending, such a thing would not happen now.

"Hmm?" The Spirit King also noticed that something seemed off about the Heavenly Tribulation.

But before it could think any further, a bolt of lightning struck!
boom!
Like sword energy, the terrifying dark red crescent lightning struck with overwhelming force. The Spirit King was greatly shocked when he saw this heavenly tribulation, because the essence of its power was the same as its divine ability.

All of them are the power of annihilation, formed by the combination of pure death power and destruction power.

Moreover, this power of annihilation is far more powerful than the power of annihilation it possesses, and its might is terrifying.

It was striking him with lightning shaped like sword energy!
"Ascension Tribulation?" The Spirit King, who hadn't taken the Ascension Tribulation seriously, suddenly changed his expression.

"The power of annihilation..." The Gu Granny who struck down the lightning snorted coldly. She had thought the other party had mastered something powerful, but it turned out to be just the Annihilation Divine Power. Lin Jing recognized it after looking at the Demon Emperor's memories. The power of annihilation is a combination of death and destruction. The Ice Soul Gu didn't know it before, but it didn't take long to learn it.

The power of death, its embodiment of death.

The power of destruction is contained within the sword seed gifted by the Demon Emperor Tianchou.

The so-called Heavenly Vengeance Sword Path is a combination of demonic energy, destructive power, and the Heaven-Destroying Sword Intent. The Heavenly Vengeance Demon Emperor's demonic bloodline has destroyed the destructive power cultivated in the immortal realm. He is too lazy to even care about the 'Heaven' of the Heavenly Demon Realm, which is the task and order of the demon race in the immortal realm. Accustomed to going it alone, he even dares to point his sword at the Heavenly Demon Realm. The Heaven-Destroying Sword Intent is the entirety of the Heavenly Vengeance Demon Emperor's Sword Path.

Ice Soul Gu, who has been studying the swordsmanship of the Heavenly Vengeance Demon Emperor, naturally inherited the power of destruction, so it is not surprising that he figured out the power of annihilation.

Although its exploration of the power of annihilation may not be as complete or domineering as the divine power inherited from the demon star, the power of annihilation is not its killing move at all.

The Ice Soul Gu wielded the "Immortal Mirror," a mid-grade immortal artifact that was extremely rare in the lower realm. The sword-shaped annihilation lightning tribulation that struck down had already had its power multiplied several times through this mid-grade immortal artifact, which could "absorb spells and enhance the rebound," making it extraordinary.

"This thing is much better than a sword."

Click, click, click.

The powerful figures who were waiting for the Spirit King to break through the Heavenly Tribulation were shocked to discover that under this sword-based lightning tribulation, which resembled divine punishment, the stone bead that the Spirit King had summoned with a frozen expression... was directly pierced through by the Heavenly Tribulation and quickly shattered. Then, the Heavenly Tribulation sword energy was unstoppable and, under the Spirit King's horrified gaze, directly pierced through its body, leaving a large hole in its stone body.

The Spirit King stood there blankly, feeling his power drain away, staring at the sky in disbelief.

Until the thunderclouds dissipated, the enormous body of the Ice Soul Gu, which had been possessing the Ascension Tribulation, was revealed. Many powerful figures were shocked to see this giant ice spider covered in lightning patterns.

"Gu, it's actually a Gu worm."

"Ice Soul Gu, that's Ice Soul Gu! But..."

The questioners were in an uproar. After a moment of stunned silence, Feng Ning and the others suddenly smiled knowingly.

"That guy is back." The second-generation ancient emperor took a deep breath. Just when did he return?!

Upon seeing the Ice Soul Gu, the Spirit King finally realized what was happening and was incredulous.

Is this... that person's pet beast?

Was the heavenly tribulation just now brought down by the other side?
But why is it that a mere pet can unleash such terrifying power...? It doesn't understand! Then what is it?

Next, the appearance of a figure confirmed the guesses of the powerful figures. Lin Jing had appeared in the hall at some point and sat down unceremoniously on the throne that belonged to the Spirit King.

"What's wrong?" Seeing the dancers stop, Lin Jing said, "Keep the music playing, keep dancing."

"Don't worry about me."

"I've only come to see who dares to defy the rules I set and attempt to seize control of the starry sky..."

boom.

Lin Jing's words echoed in his mind. The Spirit King met Lin Jing's gaze and instantly felt a pressure several times more terrifying than the tribulation lightning just now. His originally invincible mind developed huge cracks, as if he saw the sky stretch out a giant hand and slowly place it on his head.

Despite its unimaginable injuries, it struggled to kneel down...

"Greetings, Ancestor..." it croaked, its unparalleled glory after hundreds of years now directly submitting to the pressure of the forest realm.
