Immortal through Beast Taming-Chapter 676 - 38: The Biggest Winner

"What exactly happened inside?"

Unable to reach the Mechanical Turtle, Lin Jing was worried outside.

He had already sent Wu Lingxi to a safe place, and then returned to the outskirts of the Creation Immortal King's ruins.

At this moment, it was actually still considered safe here.

Because the Dao Lineage of the Immortal Emperor, the Extreme Dao Sect, had already received transmissions from various forces and dispatched Immortal Kings to the scene.

The Extreme Dao Immortal Emperor spent his life pursuing the Extreme Realm, never had children, but accepted many disciples.

Years ago, when he crazily descended to the mortal realm to support the Immortal Cultivators' Alliance, Immortal Monarch Chen Shengtian was his forty-ninth disciple.

Among those disciples, the more outstanding and older ones had naturally long become mighty Immortal Kings, renowned across many lands.

This time, upon learning that the One-eyed King, one of the Nine Celestial Demons, had entered the Creation Immortal King's ruins by extraordinary means, the Extreme Dao Sect directly dispatched three Immortal Kings to investigate.

These three Immortal Kings were all above the fourth heaven of the Immortal King Realm, none with a lower cultivation than Demon Abyss.

"What do you think the purpose of this Demon Abyss is?"

Gazing at the Immortal King's ruins, an Immortal King in a purple dress was intensely curious.

"It's all just preparation for competing for Celestial Destiny."

The Eastern Extreme Immortal King looked at the Violet Extreme Immortal King with a serious gaze, saying, "In the past, it was whatever, but now with Celestial Destiny about to emerge, everything the demon race is plotting is likely related to Celestial Destiny. They are our competitors!"

"No matter what his purpose is, there will always be a moment when he comes out. At that time, the three of us will act together and capture him for questioning."

With the demon race invading the mortal realm, these Immortal Kings might not need to fight the demon race to the death.

But with the demon race attempting to covet Celestial Destiny, which is their opportunity to advance to Immortal Emperor, it's a matter of no rest until one perishes.

"That's right, but he can enter the Creation Immortal King's ruins and isolate us outside. Unable to forcibly break through, he likely used the power of the Celestial Dao Treasure…" said another Aurora Immortal King. "Plus, the One-eyed King's Path of Space is quite formidable. If he has other methods relying on the Celestial Dao Treasure, we might not be able to keep him."

Three Immortal Kings stationed around the Creation Immortal King's ruins, while farther away, a crowd of cultivators had gathered to watch.

Even if they knew this place was dangerous and that a great battle might erupt soon, the temptation to watch the spectacle was indeed great.

"We're so far away, even if a great battle occurs, it shouldn't affect us."

"The One-eyed King didn't attack us before entering the ruins, and after coming out, there's no need to. As for the three Immortal Kings of the Extreme Dao Sect, they certainly won't."

"Safe!!"

With a stroke of luck, many cultivators were secretly monitoring, and Lin Jing was naturally no exception.

However, he was more concerned about how the Mechanical Turtle was doing inside. Its sudden disconnection didn't make Lin Jing feel a bad premonition. He didn't think the Mechanical Turtle was suddenly discovered and damaged, just surmised that perhaps something more advanced was isolating their connection.

"If that's the case, then everything inside is up to the Mechanical Turtle to decide. I wish it good luck."

Lin Jing also chose a place to sit cross-legged, waiting for new changes in the ruins to appear. During this time, because the ones stationed outside the ruins were Immortal Kings of the Extreme Dao Sect, Lin Jing heard a lot of gossip.

"Have you heard? Chen Shengtian of the Extreme Dao Sect was greatly rewarded by the Extreme Dao Immortal Emperor for his meritorious deeds in exterminating demons in the mortal realm, with the Immortal Emperor personally helping him become an Immortal King."

"Of course, I've heard. Even among all the disciples of the Extreme Dao Immortal Emperor, this is quite rare. I've also heard that when Chen Shengtian returned from the mortal realm this time, he brought with him an Infinite Immortal Body female cultivator from the mortal realm, who has already joined the Infinite Immortal Emperor… Now, she has become an Immortal Monarch. Just not sure when she will venture out."

"Since the ascension road reopened, many capable people have ascended. It's getting increasingly difficult for us in the Immortal Realm..."

"Damn those mortal realm cultivators. Why can't the ascension channel remain closed forever?"

Lin Jing figured it out: closing the mortal realm channel only harmed the interests of the major forces in the Immortal Realm.

They could enlist the mortal realm ascenders to serve them.

However, for the ordinary, lower-level cultivators in the Immortal Realm, with no competition from mortal realm ascenders, the resources they could obtain were instead increased…

...…

Thus, as he listened to the gossip from other onlookers, Lin Jing waited for three years. During these three years, the three Immortal Kings were stationed outside the ruins the whole time, and there was no new movement from the ruins.

However, after who knows how long everyone waited, the sky suddenly darkened, a sword mark appeared, and space was slashed open… A sword-wielding figure slowly emerged from the void.

"This!" Seeing this person's face, Lin Jing was taken aback because the person's face closely resembled his cheap master, the Celestial Revenge Demon Emperor. The Sword Intent emanating from her body wasn't the same, but the emotion it exuded was identical.

Her arrival caused the three Immortal Kings stationed there to change their expressions and immediately enter a combat state.

"Celestial Demon Nine Offspring, Absolute Sword Immortal King."

Unlike the One-eyed King, this Absolute Sword Immortal King was considered the most ruthless among the Celestial Demon Nine Offspring. Other demon offspring and witches had come this far by frequently seizing bodies to maximize their demonic talents, but she, since birth, only cultivated the Sword Dao, never seizing a body even once. She was now in the mid-Immortal King Realm, with combat strength far beyond that of Demon Abyss.

"Absolute Sword Immortal King, what exactly are you demon race plotting? Confess truthfully."

The Violet Extreme Immortal King held an Infinite Bell, and the Divine Techniques were already activated.

The other two Immortal Kings also surrounded Absolute Sword Immortal King, their gazes locked on her, ready to strike at any moment.

Absolute Sword Immortal King glanced at the three indifferently and said, "You three are too weak."

"You—"

"I have no intention to fight you three. I came this time to collect the corpse of my incompetent brother."

Collect the corpse?!!

With those words from Absolute Sword Immortal King, all the observing cultivators were shocked, and the three Immortal Kings showed expressions of disbelief.

Was she implying that the One-eyed King was dead?

How could that be!!!

However, Absolute Sword Immortal King wasn't lying. With Celestial Destiny about to emerge, for the demon race's plan of creating two emperors within one clan, information about a fate opportunity was given to every demon race Immortal King.

By obtaining these opportunities, there would be a greater likelihood of contending for Celestial Destiny.

One-eyed King Demon Abyss acquired information that the fate opportunity was related to the Creation Immortal King's Celestial Destiny and Demonic Fortune.

In theory, with sufficient information, Demon Abyss could easily seize this opportunity, but the demon race inexplicably received news of Demon Abyss's death.

Regarding Demon Abyss's death, the demon race had no particular reaction, simply considering him useless and incompetent; however, being one of the Nine Celestial Demons, whether he died battling the Creation Immortal King or due to other reasons, his body shouldn't be left outside.

Thus, Absolute Sword Immortal King came to retrieve his body, without the intention to engage the Extreme Dao Sect's Immortal Kings in battle.

There was no point.

No benefits.

Fighting should take place over the contention for Celestial Destiny.

Rumble.

As Absolute Sword Immortal King arrived, the ruins finally showed some activity, seemingly having… signs of collapsing.

The surrounding space fractured extensively, and Lin Jing couldn't help but slightly curve his lips, realizing that with the information brought by Absolute Sword Immortal King, the Mechanical Turtle must have had significant gains.

Soon after, a unique Immortal King's power emanated from within the space rifts.

It wasn't the One-eyed King, nor had any direct connection to the Creation Immortal King, but a peculiar turtle flew out from the ruins!

"What is this…" Everyone was dumbfounded, wondering where this Immortal King turtle came from.

"Is it you who killed Demon Abyss? Seems you've also swallowed his Dao Fruit." Absolute Sword Immortal King slowly unsheathed her Demon Sword, furrowing her brow in some perplexity at the situation.

This turtle, what was it?

Wasn't it supposed to be the Creation Immortal King who killed Demon Abyss…

"Hehehe…" Finally released, the Mechanical Turtle didn't say a word and directly made a speedy escape.

No king can meet another, let alone at least four of them, so the Mechanical Turtle made a hasty retreat, feeling quite cunning. Watching it leave, Lin Jing quietly retreated behind the observing cultivators.
