Immortal through Beast Taming-Chapter 599 - 52: When Nemeses Meet

Not long after, a piece of shocking news spread within the Ancient Country, stunning the continent.

The Second Ancient Emperor voluntarily abdicated his throne, but the Third Ancient Emperor turned out to be neither Gu Xinghe nor Gu Youran, but a granddaughter from the Second Ancient Emperor, previously unheard of and living among the common people.

Although it was unclear why this granddaughter's surname was not Gu, but Yu...

The Second Ancient Emperor couldn't believe it; after voluntarily abdicating, this brat still refused to change her surname back.

Moreover... she conducted a bloodline cleansing within the Ancient Country, and even some people of the Ancient Race with blood ties were not spared.

On the day Yu Xun'Er ascended to the throne as the Third Ancient Emperor, she announced her support for the Supreme Elder of the Beast Taming Sect, Lin Jing, as the Celestial Essence Realm Master.

Thus, the three major forces in Celestial Essence—the Demon Court, the Celestial Essence Ancient Country, and the Spirit King Hall—all supported Lin Jing as the Celestial Essence Realm Master. An invisible hand was manipulating Celestial Essence's fate, concentrating it towards Lin Jing.

However, Lin Jing, who became the Realm Master of Celestial Essence, didn't feel much about these changes. The title of Realm Master now wasn't as exciting as the title "Demon Court Saint Child" had been for him.

Nevertheless, the position of Realm Master did have its advantages. As the Celestial Essence Realm Master, Lin Jing would become the greatest beneficiary of the Golden Era, enjoying the most exaggerated fortune and cultivation bonuses.

"But once the Golden Era passes, the Celestial Essence Realm won't be a place for humans to stay; it may take a long time to recover before it can nurture itself again."

"Once the Celestial Revenge Demon Emperor is dealt with, we must find a new way forward for the Celestial Essence Realm..."

When Lin Jing returned, many friends came to see him. With these people, Lin Jing was open-hearted, advising them not to neglect cultivation. He had some confidence in dealing with the threat of the Celestial Revenge Demon Emperor, but facing a colossal entity like the Celestial Demon Sect, the situation for the lower realms was still dangerous.

In the Celestial Demon faction.

The ultimate fighting force, known as the "Six Demon Generals."

Each general's title was bestowed by the Immortal Realm's Demon Sect.

They rarely stayed in the Celestial Demon Realm, instead leading their troops to occupy and develop a vast star domain.

The Prison Blood Demon God Legion, although notorious, was still much inferior compared to the troops of the Six Demon Generals.

There were rumors that the Six Demon Generals were among the few in the Celestial Demon Realm who could directly contact the Immortal Realm's Demon Sect, possessing extraordinary power. Both the Myriad Spirit Daoist and the Eternal Emperor had confronted the Six Demon Generals before, after which the Immortal Alliance seldom intervened in wars involving the Six Demon Generals, focusing all efforts on dealing with other legions instead.

According to intelligence from the Origin Realm, the reason Celestial Revenge Demon Emperor returned to the Celestial Demon Realm after defeating the Vice Alliance Hierarch of the Cultivation Realm was that she believed her strength was now comparable to that of the Six Demon Generals and aspired to become the seventh.

However, the strength of the Six Demon Generals was also related to the vast legions they commanded. Celestial Revenge Demon Emperor was a lone force, disliking large-scale conquest, so people speculated she couldn't become the seventh Demon General. After all, destroying a Cultivation Realm was easy, but refining and devouring one after another as per the Immortal Realm's Demon Sect's requirements was beyond her capability if done alone in a short time.

The Eastern Wasteland Immortal Emperor hoped Lin Jing could eliminate all Celestial Demon Cultivators in the lower realm, including the Six Demon Generals.

But Lin Jing understood that the Six Demon Generals couldn't represent the entire threat...

Because the Six Demon Generals were merely the outstanding ones selected by the Immortal Realm's Demon Sect from all levels of the lower realms.

And they fundamentally differ from other forces in the Immortal Realm, which control the ascension channels!

The Celestial Demon Sect could send Immortals from the Immortal Realm to the lower realm more easily.

The lack of Immortals descended from the Immortal Realm's Celestial Demon Sect in the lower realm might be a result of the balance efforts by various forces in the Immortal Realm. But once Lin Jing resolved all Celestial Demon Cultivators in the lower realm, no matter the external pressure or cost faced by the Immortal Realm's Demon Sect, they would surely send Immortals down to execute him.

Granted, Emperor's minions said that after obtaining Celestial Destiny, he was like a young Immortal Emperor, not fearing Immortals descending, and capable of slaying them just the same, but Lin Jing needed to be responsible for himself and couldn't afford to be careless.

Therefore, Lin Jing's advice to familiar faces was that they should strive to cultivate as much as possible. If they couldn't fight, at least they should be able to flee, holding out until an opportunity arose.

The future remains uncertain.

......

"Immortal Monarch-level bloodline."

......

"Alas, is this where it all ends?"

......

After an unknown period, the Celestial Emperor Frog finally awakened.

With a trace of the Celestial Emperor's bloodline within its body and the help of the Ancestor's Blood Crystal, it managed, by relying on its ancestry, to become, with the weakest strength, the highest in bloodline level among Lin Jing's contracted pet beasts.

The Ancestor's Blood Crystal creates an effect whereby the user's bloodline approaches or even matches the strongest ancestor's.

Theoretically, the strongest ancestor of the Celestial Emperor Frog's bloodline was the Celestial Emperor. But theoretical effects remain theoretical; since the Blood Ancestor himself was but a lifeform at the level of an Immortal King, what capability could he have to create a being with potential at the Immortal Emperor level?

Additionally, the Celestial Emperor Frog's bloodline was too diluted; even with the extraordinary power of the Blood Crystal, it merely reached an Immortal Monarch-level bloodline.

However, this was enough for the Celestial Emperor Frog to look down upon the lower realm.

"Ribbit." It awoke from its slumber, opening its eyes, which were golden and radiant like the eyes of the Celestial Emperor.

Having obtained an Immortal Monarch-level bloodline, the Celestial Emperor Frog immediately broke through to Void Profound, leaping two realms, and even gaining an incredible bloodline ability.

During the process of acquiring the Immortal-level bloodline, its Celestial Emperor bloodline set it apart from ordinary Immortal Monarch-level pet beasts, endowing it with a unique and formidable aspect!

The Body of the Celestial Emperor!

But perhaps due to the incomplete activation of the Celestial Emperor bloodline, the transformation did not extend to its entire body.

Only one part evolved.

Not the eyes...

But... the tongue.

"Why the tongue?" Lin Jing lamented. If it had been the Primordial Spirit, he would be invincible, but the Celestial Emperor Frog seemed quite satisfied.

"Ribbit!"

It looked at Lin Jing, opened its mouth, and stretched out its tongue. The tongue extended endlessly, and perhaps to demonstrate the flexibility of its tongue, it quickly tied a Chinese knot at the tip in a flash.

Lin Jing reluctantly clapped his hands. This Celestial Emperor's tongue was indeed extraordinary, and the performance by the Celestial Emperor Frog was just a sideshow. Lin Jing sensed that the strength of this tongue was even comparable to a lower-grade Immortal Artifact.

"The power has increased significantly, but it's still not enough. There is still some time before the battle begins in the homeland of Xing Shouhe."

"I've found you a rival of equal strength to spar with and grow together during this time."

The expression of the Celestial Emperor Frog changed, realizing it was finally time for revenge against the Crane Immortal...

"Mosquito Maiden, come." Lin Jing called out, and Mosquito Maiden appeared before the Celestial Emperor Frog.

"Ribbit?"

A mosquito and a frog, gazing at each other.

A mosquito? Why does it look like that?
