Eternal Beast Taming Family

Jing Heng looked at the scene before him and smiled. With a gentle wave of his hand, the molten lava on the ground disappeared.

The ground inscribed with mysterious runes reappeared, but now the runes seemed to have received some kind of energy, slowly rising from the ground and converging on Chu Shengfan's body floating in the air.

Chu Shengfan's downward momentum was stabilized by some external force, keeping him in the air.

The golden light emanating from the inscriptions shone on him and slowly approached, as if to be engraved on his body.

Just then, a glimmer of emerald light emerged from Chu Shengfan's body, and a giant tree with a lush canopy appeared beside him.

Its canopy is dense, its branches are thick and strong, and it is about five or six meters high, but the width of the canopy is about seven hundred meters, and there are aerial roots hanging in the air between the branches.

The tree crown has a verdant sheen, but at its true roots, a layer of impenetrable blackish-gray mist swirls, and most of the sense of terror emanates from this mist.

Although it only possessed the aura of a high-level spirit, the faint fluctuations emanating from its body caused the three domain-level source beasts beside Jing Heng to tremble secretly.

It seemed that they sensed immense terror on this spirit-level tree.

Jing Heng's expression changed slightly. He looked at the ancient tree in front of him and felt a sense of familiarity, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it before.

This should be Chu Shengfan's third source beast. Now that Chu Shengfan is dead, it has naturally been exposed from the source beast space.

No wonder Chu Shengfan hadn't been able to summon this source beast. It was only at the Spirit Rank, so even if he had, it wouldn't have been of much use.

However, this source beast felt no less powerful than his other two, and there would be plenty of time to study its strangeness later.

However, just as his figure slowly approached Chu Shengfan's body, the "Void Shadow Beast" transmitted a message to him, causing his figure to stop in mid-air.

The message roughly meant that if Chu Shengfan had truly died, why hadn't his source beasts fallen into a state of weakness and lethargy? This was somewhat inconsistent with the behavior that source beasts should exhibit after the death of their contract master.

Jing Heng's questioning gaze fell on Chu Shengfan, who was shrouded in runes, his eyes filled with a hint of inquiry. In the end, however, he did not choose to approach.

Instead, he gently waved his hand, and "Weapon Armor Golden Armor" immediately held a long spear, gathering lightning above Chu Shengfan's body, and then a spear-shaped bolt of lightning stabbed fiercely down towards Chu Shengfan's body.

The ancient tree, barely at the Spirit Rank, showed no fear of this attack from the Domain Rank. From its roots hanging in the air, wisps of faint gray energy surged upwards.

The lightning spear collided with the incoming attack in an instant, and in the blink of an eye, it seemed to have encountered some terrifying force, and was silently and effortlessly dissipated.

Jing Heng's fingers curled slightly, his brows furrowed, and the pillars standing in the hall responded to his command once again.

The target was still Chu Shengfan's body, but this time, it was no longer just a mental suppression. The thousands of ghostly snakes broke free from the pillars that bound them and drifted in the air, converging on Chu Shengfan's body.

Before they even got close, the ancient trees, their leaves lush and green, began to grow wildly. In just a moment, their canopies reached the dome of the hall, as if they were about to burst open the dome at any moment.

Furthermore, more gray mist emanated from the roots, swirling around the ancient tree. The gray snakes that had gathered around it were swallowed up without making a sound as they burrowed into the mist.

Moreover, the ancient tree, which was still at the Spirit Rank, steadily increased its aura as its size grew, and soon broke through to the Domain Rank.

Upon seeing this, Jing Heng, who had remained calm throughout, finally changed his expression drastically. Chu Shengfan's fate was still uncertain; if the giant tree were to create a hole in the ground,...

If everything is exposed, it will not only be a troublesome matter for the royal family to explain, but if it arouses suspicion from powerful clans inside and outside the capital about the training grounds, it will cause turmoil in the dynasty and make peace difficult to come.

The three source beasts beside Jing Heng sprang into action, arriving at the ancient tree and unleashing their strongest skills, attacking it relentlessly.

Despite being struck by countless skills, the deathly gray aura swirling around the ancient tree absorbed all the skills, without causing any real damage to the tree itself.

After the three source beasts launched their attack, the ancient tree in front of them grew even larger.

The palace dome in this space swayed under the weight of the ancient trees, and deep spatial rifts began to appear within it.

Finally, at a certain moment, with a crisp sound like shattering glass, the main hall finally crumbled into pieces, and the ancient tree and Jing Heng appeared simultaneously in the real outside world.

Above the training grounds, people were drinking and making merry, enjoying songs and dances, or some students who had already returned from their rest were being invited to join the banquet. However, some of these students seemed to be behaving and acting somewhat unnaturally.

Overall, the atmosphere here was fairly harmonious, except for Chu Shengyuan, who was standing on his seat with a furious expression, having overturned the table in front of him.

It was at this moment that some things suddenly appeared out of nowhere in the sky.

Scattered lanterns carrying the stench of blood, large chunks of foundation stones bearing mysterious runes, and some strange metallic materials all rained down from the sky.

Among them, the most eye-catching are an ancient tree that is several hundred meters tall, as well as Prince Jingheng, who is famous in the capital, and three source beasts floating in the air.

Upon seeing this scene, Chu Shengyuan's eyes searched the air and finally found Chu Shengfan lying quietly in the center of the trunk of the ancient tree.

His head buzzed, and he froze on the spot. The next moment, his blood surged uncontrollably, and he rushed towards the ancient tree even faster.

Strangely enough, even though Chu Shengyuan had never seen this ancient tree before, it seemed to recognize him, as the gray mist surrounding it opened a passage, allowing Chu Shengyuan to enter its protective barrier.

And it was precisely because of the destruction of the main hall that the influence of the mysterious pillar on Chu Shengfan's other two source beasts dissipated, and the two source beasts finally gained their physical freedom.

Almost instantly, they were pulled to the side by the "Medicine King Ancient Tree" and entered the mist.

The three elders, who were sitting on the cloud, also changed their expressions at this moment. Almost instantly, they appeared together beside the ancient tree, their eyes looking at the ancient tree with dark and unfathomable expressions.

The elderly man, whose expression was serious, spoke with a hint of doubt.

"This looks like... the Ancient Tree of Medicine?"
