Beast Taming Immortal Clan

After the decree for the transformation into a god was issued, Zhou Chun, no matter how unwilling he was, dared not disobey.

Given the current situation where the entire human cultivation world is operating under a grand scheme, it can be said that every Nascent Soul cultivator in the human race is now registered with a Deity Transformation Venerable.

Zhou Chun dared to let his apprentice Zhou Zhiying take his wife and daughter to a safe place to take refuge, but he himself would never dare to run around, and neither could Luo Qingni.

If they run away now, and a reckoning comes later, they'll truly have nowhere to go.

Therefore, after receiving the decree to become a Nascent Soul cultivator, he quickly instructed Zhou Daoyi to carry out the plan he had previously devised, and then took his five spirit pets to the battlefield of the alien race.

Nascent Soul stage cultivators are incredibly fast at escaping. From receiving the Deity Transformation decree to arriving at the front line, Zhou Chun took less than three days.

Upon arriving at the front lines, he soon encountered the second human god-level venerable being he had ever met in his life.

"Junior Zhou Zhengchun pays respects to the Divine Lord Tai Geng."

Inside a golden palace suspended in mid-air, Zhou Chun flew in and immediately bowed deeply to a blond man sitting on the main seat to express his respect.

This blond man is the incarnation of the human race's deity, "Tai Geng God Venerable".

This Nascent Soul cultivator is currently locked in a struggle with a sixth-tier alien being and is unable to personally come and command these Nascent Soul cultivators.

Therefore, they dispatched this avatar, possessing the power of a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, to oversee and command this counterattack.

At this moment, facing Zhou Chun's bow, the avatar of Tai Geng God Venerable immediately raised his eyes to look at him, his eyes flashing with golden divine light, as if he was using some kind of pupil technique to observe his background.

This behavior was extremely rude; even a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator wouldn't dare to observe Zhou Chun so casually in front of him.

However, the incarnation of Tai Geng Divine Venerable still represents this Divine Venerable at this moment.

Regardless of what Zhou Chun was thinking, he didn't dare to utter a single complaint at this moment. He could only pretend not to see it and let the other person look him over.

He clearly noticed that the other person's gaze lingered on him for only a few breaths before turning to the several spirit beast pouches at his waist, as if their gaze could penetrate the pouches and see the spirit pets inside.

This was later confirmed by the information conveyed through their spirit pets' mental connection; they did indeed sense the spying.

After scrutinizing Zhou Chun and his servant from head to toe, the avatar of the Tai Geng Divine Venerable lowered his gaze and looked at him with a dignified tone, asking, "Zhou Zhengchun, the Pure Jun Immortal, Xuanzhen of the Heavenly Spirit Alliance says you have the combat strength of a Great Cultivator. What do you think?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun immediately felt a chill and hurriedly replied respectfully, "Your Majesty, that was merely a polite compliment from Fellow Daoist Xuanzhen. In truth, how could I, a mere early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, dare to compare myself to a great cultivator!"

Hearing his somewhat ambiguous words, the avatar of the Tai Geng Divine Lord immediately darkened his expression and reprimanded him in an unpleasant tone: "Yes or no, that's it. The battle situation is urgent now. Each of you must truthfully report your own strength so that I can assign corresponding tasks according to your abilities. If you are not up to the task, then go and replace Xuan Zhen!"

This was the first time Zhou Chun had been reprimanded in person since successfully forming his Nascent Soul, especially since there were many other Nascent Soul cultivators in the hall who had come to obey his orders.

But because of the other party's status, he dared not show the slightest dissatisfaction.

He could only sigh inwardly and nod slightly, saying, "This junior has once exchanged blows with Fellow Daoist Xuanzhen, and I believe that if I were to fight a great cultivator of his strength, I should be able to withstand dozens of moves without being defeated!"

Upon hearing this, the gazes of many Nascent Soul cultivators in the hall shifted slightly, becoming more solemn.

No one would doubt that he would dare to lie in such a situation.

So, it's now confirmed that he possesses the combat strength of a great cultivator.

Upon hearing his answer, the avatar of the Tai Geng God softened his expression slightly and immediately waved his hand, saying, "Alright, since that's the case, please take a seat to the side. We'll arrange the subsequent tasks later."

"Yes, junior obeys."

Zhou Chun respectfully responded, clasped his hands in a salute, and then sat down cross-legged on an empty futon on the left side of the main hall.

Over the next few days, Nascent Soul stage cultivators drawn from various places continued to gather here.

In this counterattack, the human race has clearly invested heavily, preparing to drive the three alien races of Tianman Plain back to their homeland in one fell swoop!

When all the Nascent Soul stage cultivators who had come by imperial decree had arrived, there were as many as thirty-seven Nascent Soul stage cultivators gathered in the golden palace alone. This did not include the dozens of Nascent Soul stage cultivators who were on the front lines holding off the three powerful alien races.

This shows just how much capital the human race has invested this time!

Once everyone had arrived, the avatar of the Tai Geng deity immediately began assigning tasks.

"Master Chun Jun, take Master Zhao, Master Luo, Master He, and Master Qi to this place to meet up with Master Xuan Jian and the others, and help them defeat the invading enemy."

The avatar of the Tai Geng Divine Lord waved his hand and touched the five Nascent Soul stage cultivators, including Zhou Chun, and quickly assigned them tasks one by one.

He then handed Zhou Chun a map showing the location of the mission.

"Yes, Your Highness, this junior will obey your divine decree!"

Zhou Chun reached out and took the map, respectfully agreeing in his tone.

Then he and the four Nascent Soul stage cultivators who had been named quickly left the golden palace and headed to the support location.

After traveling for about half a day, the group of five arrived at a region called White Stone Plateau.

This region spans thousands of miles, with towering peaks reaching thousands of feet high. It contains abundant mineral veins and numerous spiritual veins, making it a renowned cultivation paradise in the surrounding area.

After the alien alliance from Tianman Plains attacked, the human race naturally did not want to give up such a treasure land, so they relied on the existing major sects and gates of the area as strongholds and gathered a large number of troops to guard it.

Before Zhou Chun and his group arrived, there were already eight Nascent Soul stage cultivators stationed here.

The number of fifth-tier beings in the opposing alien alliance was no less than that of the human side.

Considering that the Heavenly Soul Clan in the alien alliance has strong perception, and the Five Elements Spirit Clan is good at stealth and reconnaissance, they are also well-suited to this alliance.

As soon as Zhou Chun and the others entered the White Stone Plateau region, they immediately sent a message to the Xuanjian Zhenren, who was leading the cultivators there. Then, they all rode on Silver Dragon Lords and rushed towards the headquarters of the alien alliance at top speed.

On the other side, after receiving the message from Zhou Chun and the others, several Nascent Soul stage cultivators of the human race, including True Man Suspended Sword, immediately rushed out of their camp and took the initiative to fight.

Rumble!

The commotion caused by the battle between the two fifth-tier beings was immense; Zhou Chun and the others had already heard it from a thousand miles away.

After advancing several hundred miles, they were able to see the situation on the battlefield clearly.

High in the azure sky, eight human Nascent Soul stage cultivators were locked in fierce combat with nine alien fifth-order beings, creating quite a spectacle.

On one of the battlefields, a black-robed elder with mid-Nascent Soul cultivation wielded two swords alone, fighting against a mid-grade fifth-tier Heavenly Soul Clan expert and a low-grade fifth-tier Earth Barbarian Clan expert, demonstrating extraordinary strength.

Without needing any introduction, Zhou Chun immediately knew that the old man in black robes was the True Man of the Suspended Sword.

Although this old man cannot be considered a great cultivator in terms of combat strength, with his powerful sword cultivation techniques and a spiritual treasure flying sword that suits him, he is considered a top expert among mid-Nascent Soul cultivators.

Before Zhou Chun and the others even got close to the battlefield, their presence was indeed detected by a fifth-tier Heavenly Soul Clan member.

Then, those fifth-tier alien beings began to withdraw and retreat towards their own heavily fortified camp.

Seeing this, Zhou Chun immediately shouted to the group of people traveling with him, "Fellow Daoists, I, Zhou, will take my leave first."

With that, Silver Dragon Lord left the other four behind and then carried Zhou Chun, using his lightning escape technique to speed towards the battlefield.

At the same time, the Nascent Soul stage cultivators of the human race, including Master Xuanjian, also did their best to stop the enemy from retreating back to their stronghold camp.

At this point, the differences between the various alien races become apparent.

The fifth-tier beings of the Heavenly Soul Clan and the Five Elements Spirit Clan are all agile and move with ease.

Even with the opponent's best efforts to stop them, it was difficult to prevent their retreat.

However, the fifth-tier beings of the Earth Barbarians are rather clumsy.

If they keep their feet on the ground, they can also escape using the earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of escape technique).

However, when fighting human cultivators in the vast heavens, they, who were not skilled in the art of supernatural transformations, became much clumsy, and their retreat was not as easy as that of the other two races' experts.

Just as Master Xuanjian failed to capture that mid-level fifth-tier Heavenly Soul Clan expert, he easily forced the Earth Barbarian King to have nowhere to escape with his twin swords, leaving him unable to even descend to the ground.

Meanwhile, Zhou Chun, carried by the Silver Dragon Lord's thunderous speed, quickly rushed into the battlefield.

Boom!

With a thunderous roar, silver lightning struck down from the sky, hitting a barbarian king and shattering his stone armor into pieces.

This seemed to make him sense the danger, and he immediately roared and swung his stick down with a powerful leaping slash.

Once he lands and touches the earth, the barbarian king of the Earth Barbarian tribe, who calls himself the "Son of the Earth," will no longer fear any enemy.

But where he landed, a golden spear suddenly shot up like an arrow, heading straight for him.

At the same time, a white, icy light that made his heart pound descended from the sky and shot straight at him.

Faced with such an unfavorable situation of being attacked from both sides, the barbarian king unleashed his life potential in the face of death. A giant, earthen-yellow phantom suddenly rose from his body, its hands supporting the sky and protecting him within.

This is a divine power that only the barbarian king of the Earth Barbarian Tribe can possess, called "Barbarian God's Protection," which is said to be able to awaken the power of the strongest beings at the source of the Earth Barbarian bloodline.

This barbarian king had never possessed this supernatural power before; he was only awakened to it now because of the pressure of a life-or-death crisis.

This made him both surprised and delighted, thinking that he had turned misfortune into blessing and that he could turn bad luck into good.

The white icy light landed on the earthen-yellow giant phantom, and as expected, it was unable to penetrate its defenses to reach the Barbarian King, only consuming a significant amount of the phantom's power.

The golden spear that shot upwards from below was also cleaved away by the barbarian king's staff.

The Barbarian King's body continued to fall, and he was now less than a thousand feet away from the White Stone Plateau below.

Just then, a mighty and majestic dragon roar suddenly resounded in the barbarian king's mind.

His consciousness immediately became hazy and disoriented amidst the dragon's roar, and even his descent speed slowed down.

Immediately, a giant sword crackling with lightning descended from the sky, striking the earthen-yellow giant phantom that was protecting the Barbarian King.

Instantly, the giant phantom seemed to have endured an excessive force, and it rapidly cracked and dimmed.

Then another golden divine light shot through the air, like the last straw that broke the camel's back, completely shattering the earth-yellow giant phantom and leaving a deep, bone-revealing blood hole on the barbarian king's back.

Roar!

The intense pain finally brought the barbarian king out of his dazed state, and he couldn't help but let out a roar filled with agony.

Then he knocked away the thunderous longsword that was slashing down again with his staff, and accelerated down toward the ground.

Unexpectedly, a flash of lightning appeared below, and a silver lightning dragon suddenly appeared to block his path, whipping its lightning-encircled tail at him.

At this moment, the two sides were too close, and the Barbarian King had no way to avoid it. He could only strike the dragon's tail with his club.

Bang!

With a loud bang, the Barbarian King's falling body was not only thrown back, but was also sent flying.

The silver thunder dragon also cried out in pain as its body plummeted towards the ground below.

This resulted in a draw, with both sides suffering heavy losses and neither gaining any advantage.

But the Barbarian King's heart was ice-cold, filled with despair.

Sure enough, before he could regain his footing, the golden spear that he had previously knocked away returned and pierced his body from behind, almost piercing him through!

Then another beam of white ice light fell from the sky, hitting him squarely on the shoulder. Terrifying cold air instantly surged along the point of impact, encasing him in a block of solid ice.

Of all the enemies Zhou Chun has dealt with so far, none of those he has frozen with his "Taiyin Extinction Divine Light" have been able to escape.

This barbarian king was no exception.

The already severely injured opponent was quickly decapitated by the Silver Dragon Lord, who had risen back into the air, as soon as he was frozen in ice. The Silver Dragon Lord used the [Heavenly Gang Thunder Slash Sword] to sever his head in one strike!

The barbarian tribe specializes in physical cultivation. Once their physical body perishes, they are truly dead, unable to even achieve the feat of a cultivator's nascent soul leaving the body to seize another's body.

This fifth-tier low-grade barbarian king clearly did not yet possess the powerful body-refining cultivation capable of rebirth through bloodshed.

After his head was severed, his consciousness was further shattered by the lightning power attached to the sword, and he was beyond dead.

With such a swift move, Zhou Chun has already accomplished enough to fulfill his mission. Any further gains he may make will be considered meritorious service.

In wars between two races like this, both sides will reward the cultivators who kill the enemy.

The reward for killing Zhou Chun, a fifth-tier low-grade alien race member, will certainly be substantial.

Moreover, since he killed the person, the body and his belongings naturally belong to him.

The barbarian king of this land has profound body-refining cultivation. If his corpse falls into the hands of demonic cultivators, there is a chance to refine it into a fifth-order corpse king!

Even if it's not used for refining corpses, it can be used to feed spirit pets.

He would object to Zhou Chun using human cultivator corpses to feed his spirit pets, but he wouldn't mind using alien corpses to feed them; it was better than wasting such a rare resource.

However, apart from Zhou Chun's shrewd methods in timely killing of a barbarian king, even the barbarian king that Xuanjian Zhenren was dealing with was rescued by the fifth-tier mid-grade Heavenly Soul Clan member they had previously dealt with, and no other fifth-tier alien beings perished.

Anyone who can cultivate to the fifth level, whether human or alien, is quite skilled.

Killing them would be extremely difficult without overwhelming strength.

Seeing that the fifth-tier alien beings had retreated back to their camp, True Immortal Suspended Sword did not pursue them. Instead, he immediately flew towards Zhou Chun, politely cupping his hands in greeting, "This must be Fellow Daoist Chun Jun. Fellow Daoist is indeed incredibly powerful, achieving results with a single move. Truly admirable!"

Seeing his politeness, Zhou Chun replied very modestly, "Fellow Daoist Xuanjian, you are too kind. I just happened to be there by chance. It was mainly thanks to the efforts of all of you that those alien races were restrained."

Upon hearing this, True Man Suspended Sword immediately smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Fellow Daoist Zhou, there's no need to be modest. Senior Tai Geng Divine Venerable has already informed me of your strength. As for the upcoming attack on the alien camp, if you have any thoughts, please feel free to speak them. I will certainly consider them carefully!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chun immediately understood the implied meaning and nodded with a knowing smile, replying, "I understand, Fellow Daoist Xuanjian, you can make the arrangements."

I'm not feeling well today, I'll take a rest and see if I can make up the word count tomorrow!
