Vol 6 Chapter 31: Joining Forces
The blood incarnation of the elder in Tang clothing was undoubtedly a great supplement for the mosquito beasts.
While Lin Jing's Longevity Immortal Blood was indeed of higher quality, the problem was that Lin Jing's blood was completely insufficient to feed this swarm of mosquitoes...
If he were to feed them freely, Lin Jing would have long since died from excessive blood loss. Drawing a single tube of blood from him would damage his vitality dozens of times more severely than an ordinary person.
Therefore, Lin Jing could at most offer a few drops, diluted into the lake within his divine consciousness space, allowing the mosquito beasts to enjoy a version diluted countless times over.
Thus, in terms of flavor and quality, this incarnation condensed from the Longevity Body and the Blood Immortal Body's true form might not necessarily be nutritionally inferior to his blood. Swoosh—
In an instant, the overwhelming swarm of mosquito beasts completely covered the blood incarnation. In the distance, the elder in Tang clothing who was controlling the blood beast and fighting Zhu Yan directly vomited blood, his vitality damaged.
Since his qi training stage, he had primarily cultivated the blood demonic path.
It was precisely by relying on the demonic methods from the Blood Demon Ancestor's memories that he could overcome the limitations of the Longevity Body and rapidly grow to the Seeking the Dao realm.
Throughout his cultivation journey, he had offended too many people. However, with the ancient immortal artifact he brought from Earth during his transmigration, he had repeatedly turned danger into safety.By the time he reached the Seeking the Dao realm, he had already become enemies with the entire world, forcing him to flee the original cultivation world and enter the chaotic Meteor Sea, this garbage dump of the Immortal Realm.
A beast taming cultivator... in the Origin Realm, had exterminated the elite talents of thousands of forces.
Even the elder in Tang clothing who inherited the Blood Demon Ancestor's legacy couldn't help but find this person terrifying. However, before he could develop much curiosity about Lin Jing, the dangerous Meteor Sea forced him to focus on more important matters.
And now, personally encountering this beast taming cultivator who was enemies with all realms, the elder in Tang clothing fell into silence.
Indeed ridiculously unreasonable.
Even a mere crane pet among his subordinates was actually a celestial beast, possessing immortal power, wielding immortal artifacts, and even cultivating... the time grand dao.
Capable of suppressing his Seeking the Dao incarnation across levels!
"Blood Demon Armament." After a moment of mental collision, the elder in Tang clothing felt that even though he was a major realm higher, he might not necessarily be Lin Jing's match, especially since Lin Jing mastered "immortal power" - this top-tier power method.
Now, the only chance the elder in Tang clothing felt he had to turn the tables was the Heaven's Mandate on Zhu Yan.
Currently, this Lin Jing didn't seem to have any intention of intervening in the battle. Only by seizing the Heaven's Mandate at the fastest speed and fusing it with himself to greatly increase his power would he have hope of defeating Lin Jing.
He directly used the ultimate divine ability of the Blood Immortal Body. Dark red blood appeared around him, forming armor that enveloped his entire body.
Crack.
The immortal lightning that had easily shattered the blood beast condensed by the elder in Tang clothing was now casually dispersed by the armored elder's arm swing. His power had increased by more than one level.
"Not good!" Seeing this, Zhu Yan retreated rapidly, throwing out one billion talismans to form a talisman array to block the blood-armored elder.
Boom boom boom boom boom!
The explosion of the Heavenly Lightning Chain Talisman Array lit up the star realm. Lin Jing remained seated in one place. Even though the blood-armored elder had displayed his immortal body divine ability, Lin Jing continued waiting.
"This Heavenly Lightning Chain Talisman Array, one of Fan Rong's various accumulated offensive trump cards over thousands of years, strengthened by my current immortal lightning power, would be difficult for even a top-tier Seeking the Dao expert to ignore."
In Lin Jing's judgment, the blood-armored elder probably couldn't completely ignore it relying solely on his immortal body. But the next moment, the blood-armored elder emerged unscathed from the talisman array, causing Lin Jing's pupils to contract.
On his chest, a blood Buddha jade pendant was revealed, emitting a faint red light that formed an energy field, directly shielding the elder from all damage.
"Defensive-type immortal artifact." Lin Jing glanced briefly and finally saw one of the blood-armored elder's trump cards. The dense energy field gave the feeling that ordinary Seeking the Dao power would find it difficult to break through.
Lin Jing tapped his chair, pondering slightly.
Pity the mechanized turtle isn't here. Otherwise, if the mechanized turtle were nearby, it could easily counter this immortal artifact.
The advantage of this defensive-type immortal artifact is that it doesn't require the cultivator to expend their own power to activate it - it has its own internal spiritual power.
"But if the cultivator themselves has no means to replenish spiritual power, and lets the defensive-type immortal artifact continuously consume energy, then before long, it will lose its protective effect.
So, as long as one can withstand the blood-armored elder's attacks and continuously deplete his defensive immortal artifact, then given enough time, once he loses the immortal artifact's power, he'll be beyond saving."
Naturally, Lin Jing had the confidence to accomplish this series of actions.
However, for Zhu Yan, even though he had now fused with the Heaven's Mandate, his own realm was ultimately still too low, his foundation weak. His own immortal lightning couldn't cause the slightest damage to the Seeking the Dao elder who had activated both immortal artifact and immortal body divine ability, and he had already begun retreating steadily.
"Lin Jing!"
"You and I join forces against this person! I'm willing to give up the Heaven's Mandate and actively cooperate with you in stripping it!"
In his desperation, the Taoist who had transformed into immortal lightning while being pursued by the blood-armored elder finally recognized the situation. Continuing like this, even if he relied on his astonishing lightning transformation speed to play a continuous game of cat and mouse with the blood-armored elder, preventing him from stripping the Heaven's Mandate, Lin Jing... would never just watch them chase around.
At the critical moment, Lin Jing would certainly intervene to seize the Heaven's Mandate.
It seemed... he wasn't the true Mandated One after all. With his current strength, he simply couldn't protect this Heaven's Mandate.
Since that was the case, he might as well actively hand over the Heaven's Mandate. And as for who to give it to, it was obvious - this elder in Tang clothing cultivated the blood demonic path as his primary method. If he were to have the Heaven's Mandate stripped by him, he might not end up with a good outcome.
By comparison, it could only be Lin Jing.
"Is that so." Hearing Zhu Yan's words, Lin Jing's eyes slightly brightened. If this Zhu Yan was willing to cooperate with him in performing the Heaven's Mandate Stripping Technique, that would indeed be excellent.
After all, during the stripping process, if the Mandated One's will resists, it would be a major trouble for the stripper.
Although it wasn't clear whether the elder in Tang clothing had revealed all his trump cards, it appeared that Zhu Yan truly couldn't hold on any longer.
"Taoist Friend Zhu, then I'll trouble you to lure that old demon into this massive array over here."
Lin Jing stood up, indicating toward the Chronos Feather Time Array controlled by the Star Longevity Crane. Seeing this, the Taoist gritted his teeth, made a sharp turn, and flew directly into the array. Witnessing this, the blood-armored elder became furious.
"Damnable fellow! You'd rather give him the advantage than help this old man?"
At the same time, on Earth, vast regions suddenly began glowing with bloody light, making the entire planet appear dyed red. Seeing this, Lin Jing looked back.
"So this is your next killing move? Trying to strengthen your own power by sacrificing massive numbers of lives?"
