Taming Beasts and Cultivating Immortality from Two Realms

Chapter 196 Easy Suppression
A difference of just one region can make all the difference.

Don't underestimate this small breakthrough; the mana capacity and purity in the dantian of a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator are almost twice that of an early-Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Not to mention the terrifying gap between late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators and early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators.

If we simply convert it into specific combat power, without taking into account external items such as magical artifacts, talismans, formations, and pills, it is no exaggeration to say that...

It took three early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators working together to escape safely from a mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.

It takes three mid-Foundation Establishment cultivators working together to have a chance to kill a late-Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Therefore, a cultivator who can do what ordinary people cannot, and who kills enemies with a cultivation level of the early Foundation Establishment stage that surpasses a small realm, can be called a fighting prodigy no matter where they are.

Even the most talented cultivators cannot defeat a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator by crossing two minor realms.

Because surpassing means crushing!
If a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator uses their full strength, they can completely crush an early-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator within a few breaths.

This is also why Lin Xinru abandoned her fellow disciple and chose to flee immediately.

The gap between the two sides is simply too large!

Being targeted by a spiny kingfish that has reached the late Foundation Establishment stage, even if she and her two junior sisters join forces and use spiritual artifacts and talismans, their chances of escaping are extremely slim.

It would be better to be decisive and sacrifice Junior Sister Zhao Jing to find a way out.

Lin Xinru used her divine sense to look down at the sea vessel and saw a shadow rapidly approaching on the sea surface. Her expression turned serious, but she still couldn't detect the flying vessel above the clouds.

'We can start setting the traps now,' Chen Beiwu thought to himself.

Strong combat power does not equate to high value.

If he remembered correctly, the thorny crown bone spikes on the head of the Thorn Kingfish were only worth three thousand contribution points in the bounty posted in the sect's mission hall, the same as the reward for the Azure Phosphorus Pool mission, but much more dangerous.

Under normal circumstances, Chen Beiwu would not risk hunting a thorny kingfish with over three hundred years of cultivation, carrying the golden egg.

But today is different.

With the help of two Foundation Establishment disciples, plus the special spiritual artifacts purchased from the Golden Egg and the Immortal Alliance, Chen Beiwu was 20% confident in hunting down the Thornbone King Fish.

Thinking about it this way, there's no harm in giving it a try, since he can always retreat through the Gate of Ten Directions.

'Release what is real and what is illusory, concealing its traces.'

As Chen Beiwu focused his thoughts, the golden egg's vertical golden pupils glowed slightly, and the already concealed and undetectable flying boat instantly disappeared into the clouds.

……

"Junior sister, if this continues, we'll be caught sooner or later. Why don't we split up and escape?"

Upon hearing Senior Sister Lin's suggestion, Li Lin nodded and subconsciously distanced herself.

As fellow cultivators in the early stages of Foundation Establishment, even if Senior Sister Lin hadn't said anything, she decided to use a secret technique to escape alone in order to avoid following in Senior Sister Zhao's footsteps.

"Burning Blood Escape Technique!" Li Lin gritted her teeth, made a hand seal, and pressed her right palm against her heart as she channeled her magic power.

boom!
As her vital essence burned wildly, transforming into countless blood snakes that burrowed into her dantian, Li Lin bled from all seven orifices, and spiderweb-like blood lines appeared on her skin before she exploded into a cloud of blood mist.

'What kind of demonic cultivation technique is this?'

Sensing the power of this aura, Lin Xinru's eyelids twitched.

In her divine sense, the aura emanating from Li Lin at this moment was comparable to that of a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator.

The next instant, the blood mist exploded, and four blood rainbows, indistinguishable from real ones, fled wildly in four different directions, leaving the sea boat far behind.

Lin Xinru's expression stiffened slightly. With a thought, she decisively used her natal spirit sword to slash at the four streaks of blood rainbow.

"Better to die than for myself." She suggested splitting up to escape so that the weaker Li Lin would attract the attention of the Thorn King Fish; how could she possibly leave herself behind to cover the retreat?

call out!call out!call out!call out!
Blood Rainbow's speed far surpassed that of the flying sword. Watching Li Lin's figure disappear in the blink of an eye, Lin Xinru's eyes revealed a look of resentment.

Just then, the King Spiny Fish leaped out of the sea, its crown-shaped thorny spines smashing through the keel of the sea vessel with overwhelming force, and its remaining momentum continued to pierce towards Lin Xinru's heart.

‘Damn it! ’

Lin Xinru released a spell with her left hand, forming a thick ice wall in front of her for defense.

He took out his treasured second-tier mid-grade spiritual weapon, the [Double Heart Thorn], with his right hand, and coughed up blood.

"Buzz!"

As the essence blood sprayed onto the crescent-shaped Twin Heart Spikes, tiny ice crystals quietly condensed at the tips of the spikes, transforming into two blue meteors that struck the belly of the Spiny King Fish.

The Kingfish with the Spiny Bone Fish looked disdainful and ignored the attacking Twin Hearts.

However, the Twin Hearts Thorn mysteriously disappeared along the way. When the King Spikefish realized what was happening, it suddenly felt a sharp, piercing pain in its eyes.

"Roar!"

The moment the Kingfish's eyes were covered in frost and it let out a painful roar, Lin Xinru also groaned and her face turned deathly pale.

The late-stage Foundation Establishment demon beast's defense was too strong. Even though she used her blood essence to sacrifice the Twin Heart Thorns and unleashed the maximum power of her natal spiritual weapon to hit the vulnerable part of the Thorn Bone King Fish, it was still difficult to cause a fatal injury.

'Still not working!'

The ice wall in front of her, used for defense, only allowed her to die with more dignity.

As the thorns and spikes drew ever closer, despair filled Lin Xinru's eyes. She closed them and accepted her fate.

"boom!"

Just as the bone spurs were about to pierce Lin Xinru's body, an invisible giant net descended from the sky, completely enveloping the spiny kingfish.

With Chen Beiwu's magical power injected into it, the Demon-Locking Entangling Net contracted rapidly.

Like a red-hot iron wire deeply branded into the scales and flesh of the King of Spines, no matter how hard the latter struggled, it could not break through the blockade of the giant net.

'What terrifying power!' Chen Beiwu's eyes darkened, and ten drops of liquid mana surged out from his dantian.

The Demon-Locking Entangling Net is a second-tier superior-grade spiritual artifact made by twisting together three special spiritual materials. It comes with three layers of restrictions, which can restrict magic, spirit, and body. It is a special spiritual artifact that Chen Beiwu purchased from the Immortal Alliance website in order to deal with the Bilin Fu. It costs five thousand spiritual yuan.

When a Foundation Establishment cultivator at the peak uses this item, they can easily seal and capture second-realm spirit beasts with cultivation levels below five hundred years.

Although Chen Beiwu's magical power was comparable to that of a Foundation Establishment cultivator, it was still far from being comparable to a peak Foundation Establishment cultivator. Forcibly activating the Demon-Locking Entangling Net could only trap the Thornbone King Fish for a few breaths at most.

But that's enough.

Under Chen Beiwu's watchful gaze, the golden egg activated the Ruyi Spiritual Technique and grew at a visible speed. Then, its figure flashed, and it coiled around the entire body of the spiny king fish like a true dragon in the air.

"Kakaka!"

As the golden egg gradually exerted its power, the scales rubbed and collided, producing a metallic sound, causing the spiny kingfish's bones to creak.

The latter, in pain and rage, thrashed its fins, but was instead gripped even tighter by the golden egg and rendered immobile.

Upon hearing the sound, Lin Xinru's eyelashes trembled slightly. She opened her eyes and witnessed the shocking scene of the dragon locking the demon.

Beside the golden dragon, a slightly familiar figure made Lin Xinru pause for a moment.

The reason is simple: the aura emanating from the opponent is probably at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, yet it can subdue dragons and demons, easily suppressing late-stage Foundation Establishment demonic beasts that she cannot match!
