Reigning Supreme in countless worlds With Beast taming - Chapter 1028 - 1022: Soul Searching Secret Technique and Substitute
Under the endless starlight, an army composed entirely of various-sized demon beasts marches along a river of stars!
This demon beast army is formidable, with even the weakest possessing transcendent power.
Many land-based demon beasts can only fly by comprehending the Power of Laws, and only then can they keep up with the leading strong one’s aura without falling behind.
These demon beasts clearly have just started gathering recently, hence they are all fierce and aggressive, often letting out furious roars due to various minor conflicts.
However, under the watchful gaze of an immortal Main God with a lion’s head and human body, no demon beast dares to fight while marching through the void. Even if they find other demon beasts displeasing, they choose to detour rather than travel together.
“Boom…”
Just as this demon beast army passed through a chaotic asteroid belt, a massive asteroid suddenly exploded, a giant fist several hundred feet in size flew out, carrying suffocating power and descended from the sky, heavily smashing into the immortal expert with a lion’s head and human body.
The ambushed Main God cried out in pain, smashed thousands of feet away, revealing his original form, and crashed into a large array of demon beasts, causing chaos in the previously orderly formation.
This is a Fiery Flame Lion nearly ten thousand feet in length, with vivid red fur exuding intense heat, and flames flaring from its tail and sparks scattered from its mouth and nose, with powerful aura.
Before this giant beast could struggle to its feet and prepare to counterattack, there came a sharp sound, and a sword energy that pierced through the heavens and the earth cut neat through countless asteroids while also landing on the immortal giant beast.
The giant beast roared, radiating dazzling firelight, attempting to intercept the sword energy.
Unfortunately, although its flames are strong, they cannot completely block the Long Sword of an Eternal Realm expert!
Especially when this is the White Tiger Saber unleashed with full force by Li Miaozhen!
With a splatter of blood staining the void!
This slash almost cleaved the immortal Realm Fiery Flame Lion in two.
Although it relied on its own formidable strength to survive, it was severely injured, with most of its organs shattered.
But after all, it is a strong immortal Realm expert. With a thundering roar, immortal energy surged wildly, desperately neutralizing the sword energy at the wound, then rapidly recovering its injuries.
Unfortunately, it is facing two opponents, both Eternal Realm Great Powers, and both are formidable. Either one could handle it with ease, let alone both attacking together.
So in no time, the Fiery Flame Lion let out a tragic howl as Li Miaozhen slashed off its massive head.
This does not spell death, for an immortal expert, as long as their Divine Soul is not annihilated and there is a sliver of life, they can recover their physical body by consuming immortal energy.
Unfortunately, having reached such a state, there would be no opportunity for recovery!
Qin Feng clapped his hands together, the Yin Yang Grinding Plate suddenly appearing, enveloping the Fiery Flame Lion’s physical body, as the crunching sounds of grinding echoed, the Fiery Flame Lion roared in agony, struggled desperately, but could not break free from the Yin Yang Grinding Plate and escape into life.
“Crack…”
Cracks appeared in its head, its flesh ground away entirely, snowy white skull resembling shattered porcelain, with cracks spreading continuously.
“Boom!”
Qin Feng thrust his hand like a sword, piercing through the Yin Yang Grinding Plate, forcefully penetrating the Fiery Flame Lion’s skull and wrenching out the Divine Status from its soul!
Then he left the giant beast’s soul intact, using the Yin Yang Grinding Plate as a cage to imprison this immortal Main God level beast’s soul and Spirit Light!
Doing so is troublesome but won’t completely annihilate this giant beast of power, ensuring that its world does not experience Dao shock, preventing anyone from guessing that the immortal Main God is already dead!
With the defeat of the Fiery Flame Lion, its physical body cleaved, its soul subdued by Qin Feng, the demon beast army originally following this giant beast to the Natural Divine Realm in response to the Beast God’s call instantly dispersed.
They roared in attempts to flee, but when Qin Feng waved and summoned a tenfold Spiritual Beast army, this demon beast army nearly collapsed!
But beasts remain beasts, even though many among these demon beasts are powerful, comparable to various levels of Divines, the limitations of their living environment make them accustomed to solving problems with violence, leaving their minds relatively simple and brute.
Many confident in their strength roared, leading their clans to charge forward, trying to break through the Spiritual Beast army and escape back to their original world!
But just before these demon beasts reached the Spiritual Beast army’s ranks, they suddenly felt darkness descend, as if a mountain appeared before them, and a group of demon beasts crashed blindly, scattering chaotically.
Once they realized it, upon closer inspection, it was not a mountain, but a Divine Turtle as massive as a mountain!
“Roar…”
The Old Turtle roared, its voice like a dragon, though more deep and prolonged, yet with the unique power Dragon Clan pressure.
Long ago, Qin Feng had merged the Dragon Turtle Bloodline, inheriting the Dragon Clan legacy, within it, making this Old Turtle not only master numerous Divine Skills, but also equally potent as the Dragon Clan in suppressing all races, usually unneeded, used rarely today!
Vast and majestic Dragon Power pressed down, along with the giant claws of the Old Turtle!
With a thunderous crash, the turtle foot, as massive as a sky-reaching giant pillar, almost crushed the strongest Upper Divine Spirit Peak Realm demon beast.
It bled from seven orifices, eyes bulging, gazing incredulously at the enormous head of the Old Turtle, its six claws frantically flailing, trying to kick away the turtle foot pinned on it.
Yet, regardless of its efforts, it’s all in vain!
After ascending the Immortal Dao, the Old Turtle is far more violent than before.
Previously, it habitually positioned itself as a strategist, often using sly tactics in battle, but now it has achieved the Immortal Golden Immortal, with Cultivation far surpassing these Demon Beast Divine Spirits.
In ordinary worlds, Divines wouldn’t emerge as super experts like in the Abandoned Land, hence the Old Turtle fights without concern, having no slightest apprehension of these easily crushed beings, thus boldly showcasing its most tyrannical side.
The other demon beast experts were terrified by the Old Turtle’s massive form and prowess.
Seeing the strongest Upper Peak demon beast expert almost crushed into a pancake, none dared to break through from here, fleeing in all directions to find new paths to survival.
Unfortunately, equally powerful beings have appeared in other directions!
A Divine Bird covered in flames let out a clear cry, and fire spanned the sky, directly blocking the road ahead. Several disbelieving Demon Beast Divine Spirits rushed in, but before they could get far, they were burned to ashes by the scorching flames!
Before these Demon Beast armies could turn around and flee again, a massive Hellhound with three dog heads blocked them, its enormous maw seemingly capable of swallowing the sky and devouring the earth.
More critically, its three huge mouths opened simultaneously, swallowing tens of thousands of demon beasts, and even a few divine-level demon beasts couldn’t escape its grasp!
This instantly terrified the demon beast army, but unfortunately, they were already surrounded by countless Spiritual Beast armies from all sides, leaving them no escape route.
Just when they thought they were doomed to die, they suddenly heard the clear cry of the Divine Bird engulfed in intense flames, followed by a soul-piercing spiritual wave: “Surrender, or die!”
“Who are you all? How dare you ambush us?”
A majestic voice came from the mouth of a Golden Lion of upper divine rank: “How dare you provoke the army of the great Beast God, aren’t you afraid that the Beast God will breach your world and wipe out your clans?”
“Noisy!”
The Undying Qingluan flapped its wings, and immediately a surge of scorching flames rushed forth, burning the Golden Lion’s fur off entirely, the aroma of its flesh wafting through the air.
Before the Golden Lion could retreat in fear, the Hellhound’s three bloodthirsty mouths opened simultaneously, biting into its body, tearing it apart in an instant, and swallowed it ravenously!
This act immediately intimidated all the demon beasts, whether divine-level or demigod-level. They all became obedient, eventually lining up nicely to enter the Demon Refining Pot under the watchful threat of the Undying Qingluan and the Hellhound!
After Qin Feng used the Demon Refining Pot to subdue all the demon beasts, he released them again, continuing onwards in the original direction!
However, the team now lacked an Immortal Realm Fiery Flame Lion but had gained two Eternal Realm Human Clan Great Powers!
“The Demon Refining Pot is truly useful!”
Seated cross-legged on the back of a gigantic Barbaric Elephant, Li Miaozhen couldn’t help but praise: “If it weren’t for this treasure, we would have had a hard time subduing this demon beast army!”
“Subduing these demon beasts is one thing, but infiltrating the Natural Divine Realm is another challenge!”
As he spoke, Qin Feng flipped his palm, revealing a small grinding plate in his palm!
“Submit to me, and I’ll give you a chance to live!”
He looked at the small soul of the Fiery Flame Lion within the grinding plate and said so.
“Dream on!”
The Fiery Flame Lion, known for its volatile nature, didn’t show any sign of yielding even after advancing to Immortal. “I am loyal to the great Beast God, and you, a mere Human Clan, a mere food for ordinary demon beasts, dare to demand my loyalty?”
Although it was only left with a soul, it still continuously roared with fury. If not for Qin Feng suppressing its soul power, it would likely attempt self-destruction!
As for pledging allegiance to the Human Clan, that was impossible!
In its understanding, humans are innately weak, often hunted and preyed upon by various demon beasts. To pledge allegiance to mere food? Impossible!
“Stubborn and obstinate!”
Qin Feng shook his head and said to Li Miaozhen, “Originally, I wanted to save some effort. Since this guy doesn’t cooperate, we’ll have to use that method!”
“Hmm!”
Li Miaozhen nodded: “Even if there’ll be some flaws due to lack of cooperation, we won’t be staying in the Natural Divine Realm for long. As long as we can bluff them temporarily, it should be sufficient!
Moreover, we still have the Soul Searching Method passed down by the Ghost Ancestor. This ghostly secret soul-searching technique indeed has infinite wonders. Even if this Fiery Flame Lion’s soul possesses immortal properties, it might not withstand such a ghostly secret method.
Try it quickly, see how it works. If there are no major discrepancies, we’ll proceed as planned!”
“Alright!”
Qin Feng’s eyes immediately became black and white distinct, the Supreme Divine Power of the Yin Yang Ghost Eye already activated. He then chanted incantations solemnly as he performed the spell: “Hah, this guy refuses a toast only to drink a forfeit. Since it chooses the path of death, I can’t be blamed!”
Amid his words, black smoke began swirling in his hands, intricately forming into ghost runes that were so fine they were almost indiscernible and incredibly mysterious. These runes intertwined and entangled as Qin Feng’s hand reached into the soul of the Fiery Flame Lion.
“Roar…”
The Immortal Soul of the Fiery Flame Lion let out an incomparably tragic cry.
At this moment, it felt as if a big hand had reached deep into its mind, continuously stirring it. The intense pain was so unbearable that it couldn’t maintain a trace of dignity as an Immortal Main God, howling in agony. The spiritual pain emitted from its soul made the Barbaric Elephant Divine Spirit beneath Qin Feng shiver, almost stumbling.
The demon beast army, already feeling a mix of emotions and uncertain of their fate after being forcibly subdued by the Human Clan expert, was also shaken to their core hearing the desperate cries of the Main God they once served.
One by one, they pretended not to hear, kept their gaze straight ahead, and flew obediently.
Yet, without making a sound, all the demon beasts not only curbed any lingering resentment but also increased their speed lest they suffer this torturous method at the hands of these formidable humans!
Even the Immortal Main God-level Fiery Flame Lion couldn’t withstand such harsh methods; they, being at most upper divine spirits, naturally wanted to avoid such suffering!
After an indeterminate time, Qin Feng finally released the nearly extinguished Immortal soul, now devoid of any resistance, withdrawing his fingers from the Fiery Flame Lion’s soul.
He then took out the divine status snatched earlier, swallowed it, and prepared to perform a secret druid technique he had abandoned for who knows how long to complete the Fiery Flame Lion’s transformation.
He intended to substitute appearances, disguise himself as this demon beast’s Main God, and infiltrate the Natural Divine Realm to respond to the Beast God’s call, leading the demon beast army under his command in following the Beast God into battle!
Even though this divine status, lacking the Fiery Flame Lion’s immortal soul, only amounted to the energy body formed by its power and Dao Principle, it didn’t carry all of the Fiery Flame Lion’s Dao Principle Power.
But it didn’t matter; Qin Feng never intended to perfectly inherit the Fiery Flame Lion’s power. He mainly wanted to take its shape and possess the strength aura of the Fiery Flame Lion so that the divine spirits who had once seen it wouldn’t detect anything amiss!
