Beast Taming: I can even raise gods and demons!

Chapter 257 Martial Ancestor (5043 words)

"Sizzle!"

A bolt of lightning crackled around Feng Xiaoxiao and the others.

A strange force drew the star power from their bodies and channeled it into the five-colored divine stone at the center of the hall.

This situation did not last long...

In just a short while, everyone collapsed to the ground, panting heavily.

Inside the main hall, a beam of light suddenly shot into the sky from the five-colored divine stone.

In an instant, a powerful force emanated from the pillar of light and spread in all directions.

The blind man stood at the gate, his head slightly tilted back.

Above the void, the barrier reappeared.

The spiritual threads crisscross, like a net spread across the sky.

The seal has been strengthened slightly.

However, for such an ancient and powerful formation, it is still a drop in the ocean.

Those who were sent in were all at the sixth or second level of the Heavenly Realm, and their numbers were not large.

Strengthening such an ancient formation is no easy task.

Fortunately, the formation was reinforced by four divine weapons, including the Heaven-Slaying Demon Blade.

Li Mu then sent in a large amount of resources.

I can finally feel a little more at ease.

The blind man turned around.

Inside the main hall, Chu Xuan and Ye Hao were cultivating.

All the tamed beasts looked dejected and rested in a corner of the hall.

This happens every time the Five-Colored Divine Stone drains my star power.

Even the usually sarcastic and boisterous Xiao Hei was now drooping its head, lying listlessly in the corner.

Meanwhile, Chen Fan was still organizing the resources that Li Mu had brought in.

Chen Fan scrambled out many crystal cores.

Chen Fan placed the crystal cores in multiple areas according to their grade.

Soon, these piles of crystal cores formed small mountains.

The crystal core released a powerful force, making those nearby feel as if they were in a storm vortex.

The blind man walked over, sat down next to Chen Fan, and quietly watched Chen Fan's movements.

After Chen Fan finished sorting through all the crystal cores, he turned to the blind man and said, "Grandpa Blind, I've picked out all these crystal cores."

"These selected crystal cores are useless to us beast tamers when we break through to higher levels."

"There are a total of seventy, eighty, or fifty crystal cores."

"Five level 45 crystal cores, twenty level 44 crystal cores, sixty level 43 crystal cores..."

"If these crystal cores are used to reinforce the seal, how should they be used?"

As he spoke, Chen Fan materialized the sealing array.

Ye Hao, Shen Hongxiu, and the others, who had been sitting with their eyes closed, all opened their eyes.

Everyone stared in astonishment at the piles of crystal cores.

Levels 36 to 40 belong to the Emperor level;

Levels 41 to 45 belong to the legendary Dominator level!

A level 45 crystal core...

Each and every one of them is priceless!

A level 45 monster is probably one of the strongest monsters on Earth.

At least, Ye Hao and Shen Hongxiu had never heard of any monsters higher than level 45!

Minister Li Mu and his team went to great lengths to deal with the Six-Eyed Abyss Lord sealed within.

……

The blind man nodded slightly, and as if touching a virtual screen, he continued to tap on the materialized array...

"Place five level 45 monster cores at these five points."

"Place twenty level 44 monster cores at these twenty points."

"Sixty level 43 monster cores, placed in these sixty slots..."

As the blind man spoke, Chen Fan used the power of the great formation to move the monster crystal cores to their respective locations.

As each crystal core flew out, a thunderous sound echoed through the void, booming and rumbling.

"There are many more..."

Of the selected crystal nuclei, many remained.

Chen Fan glanced at the five-colored divine stone on the stone platform and said, "Give all the remaining crystal cores to the five-colored divine stone."

"Hmm," the blind man said, "I'll set up a Star Gathering Array on the stone platform, and then you can place these crystal cores inside the Star Gathering Array."

No sooner had he finished speaking than he appeared on the stone platform.

Some of the crystal cores around Chen Fan also immediately flew up and slowly rotated around the blind man.

The blind man pointed with his fingers...

"Hiss hiss hiss hiss!"

One by one, the crystal cores were embedded into the stone platform.

In less than three minutes, a star-gathering array had been set up.

The blind man flicked his sleeve lightly...

The crystal cores piled up in front of Chen Fan immediately flew up and landed in the Star Gathering Array on the stone platform.

As the Star Gathering Array was activated, colorful ribbons of different colors were immediately released from each crystal core, converging towards the Five-Colored Divine Stone.

The five-colored divine stone, floating above the stone platform, cheered and spun around...

It's faster now.

The star power on all the crystal cores immediately surged towards the five-colored divine stone like a tidal wave!

"Very good!"

Ye Hao walked over, looked up at the five-colored divine stone on the stone platform, and said, "If the five-colored divine stone can regain its power, it won't just be as simple as suppressing that demon, right?"

"Perhaps we can eliminate that demon once and for all?!"

"It's not that simple!" the blind man said. "Let alone a god-level being whose strength is unknown, even the Sixth Heavenly Demon King that Blue Star is currently suppressing cannot be killed by ordinary means."

"Back then, Chen... oh, your Blue Star's Martial Ancestor, suppressed the Sixth Heavenly Demon King."

"Even if the Sixth Demon King is severely injured and sealed, Li Mu and Zhang Jiang are still unable to kill him."

"Unless the Martial Ancestor returns from the Heavenly Feather Realm, or my true form and the Cripple's can come from the Heavenly Feather Realm..."

"Otherwise, the Sixth Demon King will eventually become the greatest threat to Earth!"

"The Sixth Heavenly Demon King?" Chu Xuan and Ye Hao exchanged glances.

They didn't know as much as Chen Fan, but Li Mu had mentioned this name before after they brought back the Heaven-Worshipping Stele and the Heaven-Reaching Divine Pillar.

Everyone still remembers that day when Chu Xuan, Ye Hao, and Shen Daodao released the aura of the three divine weapons, Li Mu burst into laughter and said several times, "Heaven is helping my Tang Kingdom!"

At that time, the blind man also asked Li Mu... Could these three divine weapons, along with Chen Fan's Heaven-Severing Demon Blade, eliminate the Sixth Heaven Demon King?

Li Mu's smile vanished, and he shook his head gravely, saying, "I'm afraid that won't work..."

"Such a divine weapon, if it were in the hands of me and Zhang Jiang, we would indeed be confident that we could fight the Sixth Heaven Demon King."

"But these divine weapons have mysterious origins, and the power they contain is domineering, fierce, and world-destroying. Apart from themselves, no one else can control them."

"But Chen Fan and his group are currently far too weak to unleash the power of these divine artifacts..."

Upon hearing the name "Sixth Heaven Demon King" again, everyone couldn't help but feel a jolt in their hearts.

The blind man remained silent for a moment, then with a slight thought, he used his spiritual power to pull Yun Canghai and Ye Wushuang out of their secluded cultivation.

Yun Canghai and Ye Wushuang looked completely bewildered.

The blind man said, "You two have successfully broken through to the fifth level of the seventh rank. You should relax for now."

"There's no need to rush to break through to the eighth rank."

"Yes!" Yun Canghai and Ye Wushuang nodded respectfully and sat down cross-legged on the side.

The blind man said, "Now, the hope of this world rests in your hands..."

"There are many things that you should already know."

"Who exactly is the Sixth Demon King, and how much of a threat does he pose? Canghai and Wushuang should have heard a little about him."

Yun Canghai nodded and said, "My master once said that he was the greatest threat to our Tang Kingdom and our Blue Star."

"But he didn't elaborate on just how strong or how terrifying he was."

"I just... he frowns every time he mentions that name."

The blind man sighed and said, "It's not just him with a furrowed brow... We old folks from the Heavenly Feather Realm can't sleep at night when we think about these people."

"I have also fought against the Sixth Demon King, who is actually the weakest of the seven Demon Kings."

"But it's embarrassing to admit, I can beat her by a move or two, but it's hard to suppress her, let alone kill her."

Ye Hao's eyes widened: "The Sixth Demon King is the greatest threat to Blue Star? There are seven such beings in total?!"

The blind man gave a wry smile and said, "There are actually more than seven Heavenly Demon Kings; strictly speaking, there should be eight."

"There is an even more powerful being, called the 'Great Demon King'."

"Under the leadership of the Great Demon King, the Heavenly Demon Clan fought against us for over 30,000 years. Our Heavenly Feather Realm fought with all its might, losing countless powerful warriors, before finally suppressing them and forcing them to retreat..."

"Blue Star only has one Sixth Heavenly Demon King, and he has already been sealed away, so the pressure is much less than in the Heavenly Feather Realm."

Bai Rugo couldn't help but ask, "Grandpa Blind, are the enemies of your Heavenly Feather Realm the Heavenly Demon Clan?"

"What is the connection between the Demon Clan and the Nightmare Court that day?"

The blind man said, "The Heavenly Demon Clan is inherently an evil and powerful race."

"It was because we fought with all our might to crush the Heavenly Demon Clan who invaded the Heavenly Feather Realm that these powerful Heavenly Demon Clan members went into hiding and formed the Nightmare Court."

"After they established the Nightmare Court, they attracted countless Star Warriors from the Heavenly Feather Realm to join by offering to help Star Warriors or Beast Tamers sign contracts with powerful demons."

"How pathetic, how lamentable..."

"We never expected them to pull this stunt."

"We never imagined they would use the power of our Heavenly Feather Realm against us!"

"By helping Star Warriors sign contracts with powerful demons, they are frantically recruiting Star Warriors from the Heavenly Feather Realm, thereby expanding the Nightmare Court."

"By the time we realized what was happening, the figures of the Nightmare Court had already spread throughout the entire Heavenly Feather Realm, and they were endless!"

"As for those Demon Kings, although we killed a few of them, the rest have gone into the shadows, controlling the Nightmare Court and forcing us to retreat in a desperate and exhausting manner..."

"Alright, let's put aside the matters of the Heavenly Feather Realm for now and talk about the matters of Blue Star first."

The blind man sighed again and said, "Blue Star and Tianyu Realm are connected, but I don't know exactly when it happened."

"More than three hundred years ago, an idiot obtained a five-colored divine stone..."

"Bang!"

A loud bang came from a corner of the main hall.

Everyone turned their heads and saw the orange cat angrily raise its little paw and slam it down on the ground with a bang.

Little Black was furious: "You stupid cat! What's wrong with you again? You scared the hell out of me!"

Gangzi and the others also glared angrily at the orange cat.

The orange cat stared at the blind man with a melancholy expression.

The blind man said, "If you keep staring at me like that, I'll take Xiao Fan's big pot and stew you."

"Hmph!" The orange cat snorted and turned its head away.

The blind man continued, "That idiot who obtained the Five-Colored Divine Stone was the previous leader of the Heavenly Demon Sect..."

"That idiot had a five-colored divine stone on him, so he was able to sense the five-colored divine stone in our current hall through that stone."

"After that, the people of the Nightmare Court set their sights on the five-colored divine stone in his hand and came after him."

"Although the Heavenly Demon Sect is not weak, how could it possibly withstand the Nightmare Court?"

"Fortunately, that kid had some brains and sent the Heavenly Demon Sect members away early on, thus escaping this calamity."

"But while others escaped this calamity, he himself did not..."

"The leader of the Heavenly Demon Sect was beaten half to death by the people of the Nightmare Court, and finally escaped with that five-colored divine stone."

"After hiding for a long time, this idiot found the rift connecting the Heavenly Feather Realm and Blue Star more than a hundred years ago, relying on the sensing of the Five-Colored Divine Stone."

"On one hand, he naturally wanted to find the other five-colored divine stone to achieve unparalleled cultivation;"

"On the other hand, he also wanted to escape to Earth to avoid the Nightmare Court's pursuit."

"But this idiot never expected that the Nightmare Court would find the rift connecting the Heavenly Feather Realm and Blue Star even before him... Therefore, a large number of powerful members of the Nightmare Court are stationed outside that rift!"

"Among them is the Sixth Demon King!"

"He carried the Five-Colored Divine Stone and fought against the Sixth Heavenly Demon King. He was beaten half to death by the Sixth Heavenly Demon King and eventually escaped to Blue Star."

"Damn it!" Shen Daodao shouted angrily, "So, the Sixth Demon King was lured here by the leader of the Heavenly Demon Sect?!"

In the corner, the orange cat lay on the ground, its little paws covering its head.

Fang Qingqing raised an eyebrow and said, "I've always thought the Heavenly Demon Sect was an ally of our Tang Kingdom. I never imagined they were the culprits!"

Shen Hongxiu gritted her teeth: "Next time we encounter members of the Heavenly Demon Sect, we'll beat them to a pulp!"

Li Fengxing coldly said, "If you capture any members of the Heavenly Demon Sect, break their legs and then throw them into the latrine!"

Shen Daodao nodded: "Use Haozi's Heavenly Pillar again to poke them a few more times!"

Ye Hao roared in fury: "Are you fucking mocking my Heavenly Pillar as a troublemaker?"

"Believe it or not, I'll beat you to death with this stick!"

Shen Daodao shrank back.

Chen Fan: "..."

Not long ago, he even went to the house where the people of the Heavenly Demon Sect were being held and told them that he was the leader of the Heavenly Demon Sect.

Bai Rugo immediately asked, "And then? Later, at Seven Star Mountain, that damned leader of the Heavenly Demon Sect finally got his comeuppance and was killed by the Nightmare Court, right?"

The orange cat in the corner suddenly waved its little paw: "I swear I will never forgive the Nightmare Court!"

Gangzi and Fei Cui, along with their beast tamers, were startled.

Gangzi was furious and bared his teeth at the orange cat.

Jade flew up angrily and landed on Chen Fan's head.

Everyone: "..."

The blind man was silent for a moment before saying, "Later, the leader of the Heavenly Demon Sect led a group of remnants of the Heavenly Demon Sect and fled into Blue Star."

"The Sixth Demon King also rushed in because of the Five-Colored Divine Stone."

"Chen... When your Blue Star's Martial Ancestor saw this, he pinned down the Sixth Heavenly Demon King and gave him a good beating."

"The leader of the Heavenly Demon Sect also took the opportunity to escape."

Everyone's eyes widened immediately.

Fang Qingqing couldn't help but exclaim in amazement, "Our Blue Star's Martial Ancestor is so powerful..."

Li Fengxing, looking bewildered, asked, "Blind Grandpa, is Martial Ancestor more powerful than you and Lame Grandpa?"

Just now, the blind man said that he could defeat the Sixth Heaven Demon King in one or two moves, but he could neither suppress him nor kill him.

The blind man silently "looked" at Li Fengxing, opened his mouth, and after a long while said, "At my peak, I was definitely a notch stronger than your Blue Star's Martial Ancestor..."

"Tch!" Li Fengxing showed an expression of disbelief.

The blind man flew into a rage and slapped Li Fengxing to the ground: "You brat, you think I'm bragging?! I'll beat you to death, you bastard!"

Chen Fan quickly pulled the blind man aside: "Grandpa Blind, please continue talking, don't pay attention to him."

Li Fengxing rubbed his head, looking aggrieved.

The blind man continued, "I am indeed stronger than Martial Ancestor... I'm not bragging!"

Everyone remained silent, their expressions somewhat strange.

You're so old, why are you still so concerned about saving face?

Seeing this, the blind man angrily said, "See my eyes? Remember the lame man's leg...? The four of us once cultivated this part of our bodies to the extreme, making it a divine body!"

"However, in order to contend with the Great Demon King, I gave the Divine Eye I had cultivated to the Old Man Emperor, and the Cripple and the others also gave the parts they had cultivated to the Old Man Emperor..."

"That's a long story; we'll talk about these things later."

The blind man said, "When I said that the Martial Ancestor beat up the Sixth Heavenly Demon King, I was just exaggerating."

"In fact, it was the Martial Ancestor and his wife who joined forces to beat up the Sixth Heaven Demon King."

"Then, the Sixth Demon King was sealed away."

Is Martial Ancestor's wife also this powerful?

Fang Qingqing frowned and said, "Since Martial Ancestor and the others are so powerful, why didn't they kill the Sixth Heavenly Demon King, but only sealed him away?"

"If we had killed the Sixth Demon King back then, Earth wouldn't be facing such a great threat now."

"Furthermore, now that Blue Star is facing the threat of the Sixth Demon King, why aren't Martial Ancestor and the others intervening?"

The blind man tilted his head slightly and silently "looked" at Chen Fan.

Chen Fan was completely baffled... Why are you looking at me like that? I'm not the Martial Ancestor.

"Ahem!" the blind man said, "They also have their reasons..."

"In short, the Martial Ancestor and his wife did not kill the Sixth Heavenly Demon King; they merely sealed him away."

"Originally, there was no problem with this."

"But more than a decade ago, due to some unforeseen events, the Martial Ancestor and his wife returned to the Heavenly Feather Realm, resulting in the Nightmare Court being revived..."

Everyone was shocked: "Martial Ancestor and the others are also from the Heavenly Feather Realm?!"

The blind man opened his mouth, and after a long while, he said, "The Martial Ancestor is indeed from the Heavenly Feather Realm."

"He comes from the Chen family, an ancient clan in the Tianyu Realm."

His name is Chen Han.
