Vol 5 Chapter 112: Who Taught Him Beast Taming!
"Charge!!!"
Lin Jing's warning failed to halt the advance of the multirealm coalition army.
Compared to their own futures, compared to the orders of supreme beings like Zhou Banxian...
Though Lin Jing had his own fearsome reputation, he clearly wasn't as terrifying as that skinflint Zhou.
The alliance leader's petty vindictiveness was common knowledge by now.
Numerous cultivators rode their flying swords like a flowing galaxy, charging toward the Nether Earth.
Seeing this, Ice Soul Gu took a deep breath. "You fools are truly courting death - monumental death!"
If these idiots wanted to die, Ice Soul Gu couldn't stop them.
It plucked a floating leaf and let it drift freely from the sky.In the next instant, Ice Soul Gu's reinforcements arrived - a Dao Robe-clad squirrel holding a leaf in its mouth stood beside Ice Soul Gu, blocking the coalition's path.
"Tsk."
Facing so many enemies, Ice Soul Gu admitted its firepower paled compared to the Pine Leaf Mouse's.
As the first to break through to immortal-blooded status and capable of secondary synthesis of seventh-grade resources, the Pine Leaf Mouse hadn't been idle these years, fully embracing its hoarder nature.
Watching ten thousand soldiers approach on flying swords, it wore a pained expression before forming a single-handed seal, summoning thousands of wooden clones it had stockpiled.
A chorus of "Aiyas" filled the air.
"What the hell?"
The coalition forces were stunned by the sudden appearance of so many Nascent Soul Transformation-level squirrels, but pressed forward regardless.
It wasn't until the squirrel army began deploying machine guns - enhanced by the Pine Leaf Mouse to their maximum grade through secondary synthesis - that the coalition realized something was wrong... though the hidden Canghai Sea forces already shuddered, recalling how a single mouse with a gun had once blocked their advance.
BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM!
Thousands of squirrel clones rode leaves toward the coalition while simultaneously activating their guns, firing specially crafted explosive pellets. These mechanical bamboo spears' ammunition contained Dragon Carp's custom-made explosive pills designed for bamboo's properties. The resulting water-fire explosive immortal energy could easily shatter same-level cultivators' protective qi!
"What kind of treasure is that?!"
Admittedly, the coalition soldiers' armor was formidable. Despite the hail of explosive pellets, their armor remained intact, though the protective resonance began wavering under the onslaught.
The overwhelming firepower also forced the coalition back, their faces paling with shock.
"This is burning money!" Even the hidden Heavenly Demon Sect cultivators were stunned. Not even their demonic armies dared spend so extravagantly against the Cultivation Alliance.
Did Lin Jing have dozens of cultivation realms to inherit?
Little did they know Lin Jing's ability to produce top-grade immortal energy gave him innate advantages. Combined with the Glazed Immortal Eye, he could transform worthless weeds into peerless spirit herbs.
Only Lin Jing could afford such extravagance.
But money spent must be recouped.
As gaps appeared in the armor's protection, Ice Soul Gu's poison finally took effect. Coalition soldiers suddenly grew listless, falling under Ice Soul Gu's control and attacking comrades with their treasures.
"Have you gone mad?!" A nearby cultivator coughed blood from the sudden assault, fighting back desperately. Such scenes repeated throughout the Cultivation Alliance's formations, turning their once-imposing battle array into complete chaos.
Wen Changge looked shocked before his expression hardened. Targeting the Pine Leaf Mouse commanding the wooden clones and Ice Soul Gu disrupting morale, he charged toward them.
BANG!
Before he could advance further, another celestial beast appeared, its powerful swipe sending him flying.
"A dragon?!"
Wen Changge's face darkened at the fiery dragon before him, its aura more terrifying than the last. Another of Lin Jing's beasts!
This was ridiculous.
Why were all his beasts so absurdly strong? Immortal-blooded creatures seemed as common as street vendors!
"ROAR!!!" Dragon Carp's mouth shimmered with fiery threads as it studied Wen Changge intently, practically x-raying his immortal bones - perfect materials for alchemy and artifact forging!
Unlike Pine Leaf Mouse and Ice Soul Gu, Dragon Carp had fully mastered and surpassed the Heaven Refining Demon Ancestor's alchemy and artifact-crafting techniques after ascending to immortal-blooded status.
The Heaven Refining Immortal Physique could refine anything. One technique involved refining oneself as a pill or artifact - though the Demon Ancestor's inferior flames made this far less efficient than Dragon Carp's process. Using various immortal fires, Dragon Carp had forged an unimaginably resilient body.
Moreover, Dragon Carp's alchemy services for Pine Leaf Mouse followed equivalent exchange - the mouse would use its Glazed Immortal Eye to synthesize Dragon Carp's scales and blood with materials, enhancing Dragon Carp's self-refinement. This hundred-fold tempered body gave Dragon Carp confidence to withstand immortal artifacts head-on, as evidenced by the massive claw mark now decorating Wen Changge's immortal armor.
"Fuck." Even the aristocratic Wen Changge couldn't help but curse.
Who the hell taught Lin Jing beast taming?
A massive army at his doorstep, and they hadn't even seen him - just his three beasts blocking everything!
Why would such overpowered creatures follow a Longevity Body? For his immortal flesh?!
"The Cultivation Alliance can't hold much longer."
"Time to intervene."
With the battle reaching this point - and only three of Lin Jing's beasts participating - the hidden Heavenly Demon Sect and Canghai Sea forces could no longer remain spectators.
Their plan to wait until both sides weakened was foiled as the Alliance neared collapse.
Reinforcements were needed.
Just as the demonic and Canghai forces prepared to move, meteorites rained from the starry sky, fiery projectiles smashing into emerging sea creatures.
"Lin Jing, I'll assist you."
"Canghai, take one more step and you'll stay here forever."
The divine voice from the cosmos enraged the Canghai Sea Spirit as it shattered countless meteors: "Falling Stars—"
The meteor impacts shattered earth and kicked up dust clouds while hidden Heavenly Demon Sect cultivators simultaneously came under attack.
A massive nine-tailed fox of black mist had appeared unnoticed, its tails wielding deadly demonic swords with combat prowess rivaling any of Lin Jing's beasts.
"You... weren't you here to kill me?" Mo Yu's incarnation descended as well.
Chaos - utter chaos reigned beyond the Nether Earth as cultivators fell every moment, the black earth turning crimson. Standing beside Lady Nethersoil, Lin Jing's true form asked: "No pressure resurrecting these dead, right?"
"Since the Cultivation Alliance started this, we'll need sufficient compensation from them to cover losses."
"How much should we charge per life?"
"Uh... uh..." Lady Nethersoil stammered, never imagining the boy could actually stop the multirealm coalition!
