Chapter 1186 - 1211: Tiger Elephant Beast

The anomaly in his Dantian startled Chu Lin greatly; the Divine Essence Blood rarely showed any signs, and its sudden appearance here left him a bit flustered.

Chu Lin hurriedly retreated several dozen meters and sat on the ground. The energy within his Dantian was rapidly increasing, much faster than absorbing energy from Immortal Crystals. Before long, his Dantian was filled to the brim with powerful energy.

Sweat continuously dripped from his forehead. At this moment, Chu Lin experienced the same feeling Chu Cheng did back in the Netherworld—his Dantian was on the verge of bursting. Lacking a Divine Concealment Bloodline, he couldn’t let his Dantian rupture to form a Qi Sea. Anxiety began to creep into his heart.

With a single thought, he frantically circulated the immense energy throughout his body, allowing it to flow rapidly through his meridians. Although excruciatingly painful, he managed to endure it.

About half an hour later, the Divine Essence Blood stopped emitting energy. Now it was unknown where it was hiding, while Chu Lin had pushed the energy circulation to its limit, his meridians almost on the verge of bursting, with nothing but intense pain throughout his body.

"Bang!" Suddenly, a crisp sound echoed, and the bloated pain inside him vanished instantly, leaving an emptiness, followed by a surge of powerful strength coursing through his meridians.

Chu Lin was overjoyed; this was the sign of breaking through a realm. Unexpectedly, coming to Sky-Spirit Valley had inadvertently triggered the energy of the Divine Essence Blood, allowing him to break through to the Early-stage Immortal Emperor Realm.

The surrounding space experienced violent fluctuations, and countless strands of Immortal Spirit Qi rapidly flowed toward Chu Lin, who instinctively absorbed it frantically.

The Immortal Spirit Qi in this Sky-Spirit Valley actually contained a slight trace of Divine Spirit Qi because many Late-Stage Immortal Emperor powerhouses preparing for Ascension to the Divine Realm had some Divine Spirit Qi within them. This was extremely beneficial for Chu Lin at the moment.

Chu Lin sat still on the ground, absorbing wildly. It was unclear how long it took before he stopped. He felt that if he absorbed a bit more or if the Divine Essence Blood released even a little more energy, he could break through to the Mid-stage Immortal Emperor Realm.

He was now at the peak of the Early-stage Immortal Emperor Realm, with the next breakthrough within reach. However, Chu Lin knew that truly breaking through could take decades or even centuries, as many times, just a slight gap required much longer to achieve.

Chu Lin stood up and looked around at his surroundings. The Immortal Spirit Qi in the air was noticeably thinner, a result of his absorption.

Glancing at the distant Divine Ascension Platform, he vaguely felt that the sealed fierce demon was somehow closely related to him. Otherwise, the Divine Essence Blood wouldn’t react without reason. He sensed that if he stayed here any longer, it might result in the fierce demon breaking free from the seal prematurely.

Now that his strength was much greater than before, Chu Lin had more confidence in the upcoming battles with Immortal Beasts. Perhaps he alone could turn the tide and drive the Immortal Beast army out of the Immortal Realm.

Looking ahead at the endless greenery, Chu Lin’s figure flickered, using Instant Teleportation to appear thousands of miles away. When entering Sky-Spirit Valley, Chu Lin had seen many Immortal Artifacts and Magical Treasures, as well as some Immortal bones, but they were all low-grade, and he had no interest in them.

After gradually expanding his Divine Sense, he checked the surroundings and found some Immortal Beasts active over three hundred miles ahead. Seeing Immortal Beasts for the first time in Sky-Spirit Valley, his heart inevitably felt a bit excited.

Using Instant Teleportation once more, he arrived at the place where the Immortal Beasts were active. To his surprise, there were dozens of Immortal Beasts the size of small mountains moving through the forest, their massive bodies directly crashing into trees, the sound of falling timber echoing frequently.

They were all the same type of Immortal Beast, somewhat resembling an elephant with a long trunk, but also like a tiger. Their appearance was similar to the Flying Demon Tiger he once killed, with thin, cicada-like wings on their bodies, and a tail resembling a horse’s tail, a complete chimera-like form, leaving Chu Lin in stunned amazement.

"What kind of Immortal Beast is this to look like this? How can it appear in the forest? Even with miles of forest, it can’t withstand such massive beings wreaking havoc," Chu Lin muttered to himself.

Soon after arriving, a large patch of trees had already been felled, and some of the larger ones had diameters reaching several dozen meters, indicating how formidable these creatures were.

"Master, these are Tiger Elephant Beasts, a very rare kind of Immortal Beast. They possess immense strength with incredible defense power. Did you see those membranous wings? Their flying speed is unbelievably fast.

In the Immortal Realm, the Golden-Winged Roc is ranked first in speed, followed by the Divine Dragon and Fire Phoenix in second and third. This fellow can be ranked fourth. If you’re not on a Golden-winged Roc, it’s simply impossible to catch up with them.

The Tiger Elephant Beast is actually a species of Primordial Giant Beast, generally preferring to live in groups. Once they detect an enemy, they attack together. They’re a tough bunch in the Immortal Realm, accounting for countless Immortals killed in each Immortal Beast War.

However, their numbers have been dwindling over the past few million years. As for whether there are any Tiger Elephant Beasts in the current Immortal Beast army, I’m not sure. We should leave here; there’s no need to tangle with these terrifying creatures." The Jade Immortal Emperor advised.

Chu Lin glanced at the Tiger Elephant Beasts in the distance and asked, "If these creatures are killed, will a Demon Core appear?"

"Of course, every Immortal Beast has a powerful Demon Core, or rather a Beast Pill, which serves as their energy source, much like the Dantian of an Immortal. Even if they’re killed, part of the original energy can be preserved. However, it isn’t of much use to us." The Jade Immortal Emperor explained.

"How can it be useless? I have two Immortal Beast companions. If they absorb the energy from these Beast Pills, it would certainly aid in boosting their strength. Moreover, I can transform into a Golden Dragon, naturally allowing me to absorb the energy from the Beast Pills. That should be faster than absorbing Immortal Spirit Power from Immortal Stones!" Chu Lin said with a smile.

"If you truly intend to slay these creatures, you must be cautious. Even the weakest of them possesses Mid-stage Immortal Emperor Realm strength, and there’s no shortage of those in the Late Stage—extremely dangerous indeed." The Jade Immortal Emperor cautioned.

"How would it be a threat? If I use Light Transformation to render myself invisible, killing them would be a breeze. Since I’ve come to Sky-Spirit Valley, I shouldn’t leave empty-handed." Chu Lin said with a smile, then vanished from sight, appearing next to a colossal Tiger Elephant Beast.
