Beast Taming: Bloodline Golden Hand-Chapter 760 - 482: Seed of the Tree Ancestor

The two bulls, in their clash, simultaneously staggered back dozens of steps.

"Iron Horn Impact!"

"Soul-Calming Hoof!"

...

"God Demon·Stepping God!!!"

The ensuing battle left Lin Chen dumbfounded and Xiaobai feeling extremely stifled.

Two identical techniques, continuously executed from two identical bull forms, wildly collided on the battlefield.

Fist to flesh!

Hoof to bone!

However, what left Lin Chen and Xiaobai speechless and despairing the most was...

The "Dark Little White" opposite them seemed to have endless energy!

No matter how powerful the skill it unleashed, no matter how much energy it consumed.

The next second, it could immediately replenish itself from this gray restricted zone, instantly returning to peak condition!

In contrast, Xiaobai, though the true body, had its energy truly depleting.

After half an hour.

"Huff...huff...huff..."

Xiaobai's massive god-demon form was panting heavily, tongue sticking out, taking huge gulps of air, and the divine demon light on its body had dimmed significantly.

It's no good...

Really can't take it anymore!

Fighting against a version of itself with infinite stamina, who could withstand that?!

It looked back at Lin Chen with a pleading gaze.

Lin Chen, witnessing this scene, couldn't help but twitch his mouth in disbelief.

How can they continue fighting like this?

This is outright cheating!

Seeing the spirited "Dark Little White" adjust its stance again, its four hooves scraping the ground, poised for another "Iron Horn Impact," charging towards them.

"What else can we do?!"

Lin Chen made a decisive move, grabbing the exhausted Xiaobai who was about to collapse, then leaping onto the back of the prepared Little Blue Fish.

Watching the dark replica rush at them like a black deathly meteor.

Lin Chen hugged Xiaobai's head and, with a heart-wrenching scream, yelled at Little Blue below:

"Run, Little Blue!!"

"Don't look back!!!"

...

"Gulp——!"

Little Blue's speed was pushed to the limit, transforming into a streak of blue light, frantically darting through the gray, desolate ruins.

Behind them, the tireless "Dark Little White" pursued relentlessly like a shadow in flight.

Its massive body shook the earth with every step, the booming sound drawing nearer, constantly fraying Lin Chen and his companions' nerves.

"Moo! Moo moo!"

Xiaobai sat on Little Blue Fish's back, face filled with defiance and frustration.

Being chased and beaten by an imposter, it was the utmost humiliation in its life!

"Stay calm!"

Lin Chen smacked its huge head, speaking irritably:

"Keep fighting? If we keep it up, you'll exhaust yourself to death!"

Lin Chen knew very well that although Xiaobai and the replica were evenly matched in peak battle strength.

The crux of the issue was that the opponent was cheating!

That creature's beast power seemed connected to the energy sources of the entire forbidden zone, inexhaustible.

This kind of battle was unwinnable.

If they continued to fight head-on, Xiaobai was sure to lose!

The trio fled desperately, not knowing how far or how long they had run.

Gradually, they seemed to have shaken off their pursuer; the deafening sound of pursuit finally faded into the fog's distance.

Only then did Lin Chen breathe a sigh of relief, allowing Little Blue to slowly come to a stop.

He looked around and realized they were utterly lost in this gray world.

The landscape was even more desolate than the periphery.

Barren scorched earth stretched everywhere, with not a single blade of grass in sight, the ground covered in cracks, as though all life had been completely drained.

"Is this... the Spirit Academy's back mountain?"

Lin Chen identified a direction, frowning slightly.

He had some impression of this place; back when the Spirit Academy was still around, it was a lush mountain forest, a haven for many spirit beasts.

But now, only a dead land remained.

Mentioning the back mountain naturally brought a majestic figure to Lin Chen's mind—

Tree Ancestor.

The being that had offered him countless help and guidance since he first entered the Spirit Academy, a steadfast presence like a stabilizing force.

Recalling how Tree Ancestor sacrificed itself to protect the Spirit Academy, burning away and falling, was a pain that Lin Chen could never erase from his heart.

"I wonder... if that seed is still there..."

Lin Chen felt a stirring in his heart, and in accordance with his memories, began to probe painfully through the scorched earth.

However, visibility here was poor, gray fog shrouding everything, and with the drastic change in terrain, locating the precise spot from back then was incredibly challenging.

At that moment, Xiaobai suddenly let out a soft sound, its huge nose sniffing forcefully in a certain direction.

"Moo?"

Lin Chen felt a jolt and looked in the direction Xiaobai indicated.

In the distance, within a cracked scorched earth crevice, a faint yet tenaciously vibrant green appeared before his eyes.

It was a...

Little sapling?

At the moment Lin Chen saw the sapling, his pupils suddenly lit up, and his breath momentarily halted!

In this land devoid of vitality, where nothing could survive, could it be that...

There were still plants alive?!

Moreover, looking at the form of that sapling, although it was only a few inches tall, it stood proud and its leaves were a vibrant green, seemingly brimming with boundless life, forming a stark contrast with the dead surroundings!

This must be it!
