Taming Beasts and Cultivating Immortality from Two Realms

Chapter 228 Ancient Ruins
Amidst the gloomy thunderclouds, a golden dragon, several dozen feet long, appeared and disappeared in the mist.

Its head and horns were prominent, its four claws were sharp, and clouds rose from its belly, exuding a terrifying aura that made Foundation Establishment cultivators hold their breath and dare not make the slightest move.

"Impossible! What kind of secret technique is this?!"

An indescribable shock and horror washed over Luo Yongjie's mind.

It's one thing that Chen Zi'ang seems to have comprehended the "One Sword Breaks All Laws" technique, but how could a mere Foundation Establishment stage little mudfish break through two minor realms and one major level, advancing to the Golden Core stage in one fell swoop?

Its oppressive power was so strong that it even made the power of the Ash Tribulation within his body stagnate, as if he were facing a Golden Core elder of the sect.

"Roar!"

Sensing the almost inexhaustible magical power within its body, the golden egg's thick dragon tail stirred up the thunderclouds, bringing with it the sounds of wind and thunder.

A pair of cold, ruthless golden vertical pupils instantly locked onto Luo Yongjie, who looked like an ant below, causing the latter's eyelids to twitch.

"Wildfire Splits Hundredfold, Ashes of the Six Directions!" Luo Yongjie roared, pushing his Burning Flame True Essence to its limit.

The Crimson Sky Spear shone brightly, emitting a buzzing sound, and in the blink of an eye, it transformed into a thin crimson line that was imperceptible to the naked eye.

This thin crimson line is the immortal spirituality of a third-tier magic weapon that Luo Yongjie was able to awaken by gathering all his power, and the power it unleashed is comparable to a strike from a Golden Core cultivator.

Looking at the immense force of the spear before him, Golden Egg did not use any of its innate abilities; it simply raised its dragon claw and gently grabbed at the target.

boom!
Under absolute power, all efforts are in vain.

The extraordinary power that could easily kill multiple fake Core Formation cultivators—a wisp of immortal spirituality—was seized by the golden egg, then crumbled piece by piece, vanishing into nothingness.

The Crimson Sky Spear also trembled violently, letting out a mournful cry, its flames completely extinguished, and its spiritual power greatly diminished.

"puff!"

Backlashed by the spear-infused magic weapon, Luo Yongjie coughed up blood and turned deathly pale.

As the golden vertical pupil locked onto him, a complex mix of emotions, including excruciating pain, fear, and disbelief, instantly overwhelmed Luo Yongjie.

"Damn it, you forced me to do this!" Luo Yongjie's eyes flashed with pain as he unhesitatingly pulled out a red gold jade talisman about the size of an infant's fist from his pocket.

This item is a life-saving talisman bestowed by the sect's Golden Core elders upon the top three disciples of the true lineage. When activated with divine sense, it can unleash an attack equivalent to that of an early-stage Golden Core cultivator.

"Blow it up!"

Luo Yongjie crushed the jade talisman with force, and the fire elemental energy in the hall suddenly surged, unleashing a terrifying pressure far exceeding that of a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

At that moment, the shattered jade talisman transformed into a stream of crimson-gold light that shot into the sky, forming a crimson-gold volcano phantom composed purely of flames of annihilation.

The next second, the volcanic phantom erupted.

What it spewed out was not magma, but the third-tier treasure flame [Burning Heaven True Flame], which could only be condensed to its extreme by a Golden Core cultivator activating immortal magic power.

Chen Beiwu's eyes narrowed, and he subconsciously took out the Great Desolate Calamity Needle, a one-time-use third-tier magic weapon bestowed upon him by his master, from his storage ring.

"Roar!"

Upon hearing the earth-shaking dragon roar, Chen Beiwu's eyes narrowed slightly. He allowed the golden egg to activate its gilded body and charge forward, using his physical body to withstand the power of the third-tier talisman treasure.

He then vanished, using the Golden Egg's "Which is Real, Which is Illusory?" technique to quietly appear behind Luo Yongjie and the other man.

"Quickly activate the Boundary-Breaking Talisman."

The use of third-tier magic treasures and talisman treasures had exhausted Luo Yongjie, leaving him powerless to activate the talismans. He looked at Yan Yue, who was filled with fear, and threw out a third-tier talisman treasure, the [Boundary-Breaking Talisman].

That golden dragon was too terrifying; even the Heaven-Burning True Flame might not be able to kill it, and would most likely only create an opportunity for him to escape.

But the next second, Luo Yongjie's body suddenly stiffened, and an indescribable surge of immense magical power erupted at his heart, annihilating his life force with overwhelming force.

He lowered his head, looking at his chest, his face filled with resentment. He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but couldn't utter a word. Chen Beiwu slowly sheathed his sword, the soft hum of the Cold Pool Spirit Sword ringing out clearly in the deathly silent hall.

'The eldest brother is dead!'

Upon seeing this, Yan Yue's heart sank, and she could hardly believe her eyes.

Her primal fear made her instinctively kneel down and beg for mercy.

"Fellow Daoist's profound understanding is unparalleled. I am willing to offer my storage ring in exchange for my life." Yan Yue presented the boundary-breaking talisman with both hands.

Activating the Boundary-Breaking Talisman takes a breath, and she simply doesn't have time to do so now.

Yan Yue didn't want to die.

When you die, there is nothing!
Chen Beiwu didn't speak, but looked at the golden egg and then breathed a sigh of relief.

The Heavenly Flame was incredibly powerful, but fortunately, it couldn't break through the golden egg's defenses.

Soon, as time passed, three breaths later, the earth-shattering volcano phantom disappeared, revealing a golden egg with slightly reddish scales and breathing hot air.

"Roar."

The golden egg raised its head, wanting to let out a roar to celebrate its victory, but suddenly everything went black before its eyes, and it fell into a deep sleep. The dragon horns and claws that had grown on its body also degenerated and disappeared.

Seeing this, Chen Beiwu was not surprised and put the golden egg into his spirit beast bag.

While cultivators from the Immortal Alliance can unleash powerful beast-taming abilities that allow them to fight across realms, they also have to pay a price.

For example, under the stimulation of the bloodline of the Fish Leaping Over the Dragon Gate True Spirit Diagram, the Golden Egg's cultivation level skyrocketed to 499 years.

The bloodline within his body leaped directly to the level of a third-tier dragon, but the price was that he would have to enter a period of slumber ranging from one to three months.

Of course, during the process of falling into slumber, the thin dragon blood in the golden egg's body will become more refined due to the True Spirit Diagram of Fish Leaping Over the Dragon Gate.

The only thing that surprised Chen Beiwu was that the effect of activating the True Spirit Diagram for the first time was surprisingly good, comparable to the initial stage of the Beast Taming Landscape, and almost broke through the Golden Core limit.

It is foreseeable that if he can go further, he will be able to evolve the True Spirit Picture of Fish Leaping Over the Dragon Gate into a complete landscape scene.

At that time, the golden egg, blessed by the Beast Taming Landscape, might be able to fight against a Golden Core True Person, even if it is of a higher level.

Instead of what happened today, where the Golden Egg exhausted the True Spirit Diagram's blessing after only withstanding two blows from the Golden Core.

After using his divine sense to search Luo Yongjie's two third-tier magic treasures and remove his storage ring, Chen Beiwu looked at Yan Yue, who had a tense expression.

“Interesting. By killing you, I can not only get the storage ring, but also eliminate future troubles.”

Chen Beiwu took the boundary-breaking talisman and said with great interest, "I even killed the number one disciple of the Burning Flame Sect in this generation, so tell me, what reason do I have not to kill you?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Yue's heart tightened, and her expression shifted between light and shadow.

"It seems you don't have enough reasons to convince me."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Beiwu drew his Cold Pool Spirit Sword instantly.

“Wait, I can have you implant a blood pact with your inner demons, making you your servant,” Yan Yue said decisively.

Having forged a blood pact with the demon within his heart, Chen Zi'ang could take her life with a mere thought.

“Not enough, the Blood Pact with the Heart Demon can also be broken.” Chen Beiwu said calmly, a cold light emanating from the Cold Pool Spirit Sword behind him.

“I know of an ancient ruin that has an ancient teleportation array leading to the East.”
