Beast Tamer Ascension

Vol 3 Chapter 100: Celestial Beast Corpse

As for why the Yin Corpse Sect wanted to capture him, Lin Jing had some vague clues and had investigated it before.

However, he wasn’t clear on the deeper inside story.

Although he now had the protection of the Demon Emperor and it didn’t matter anymore, he still wanted to get to the bottom of it.

“Hahahahahahahaha…” The Nine-Infant Demon Lord laughed madly.

“To fall at the hands of a mere Foundation Establishment brat… what a miscalculation.”

“The Corpse Emperor will avenge me…”

Buzz!

He immediately attempted to self-detonate his Nascent Soul.

Lin Jing, expression calm, waved away the ghostfire and moved on in search of his next target.

“If you won’t talk, so be it…”

“I don’t have time to waste on you.”

In Tongtian City, Lin Jing had become a god of slaughter, a ghost of vengeance.

Everyone listed in the Heavenly Demon Scroll—he didn’t intend to let a single one escape.

In the process, the entire Qingzhou was thrown into complete chaos.

Divine Flame Path.

Heavenly Fire Sect.

Because of the existence of Skyfire Ancestor, the Heavenly Fire Sect stood at the top of the Divine Flame Path.

However, on this day, many elders and disciples were horrified to see a crack appear on the statue of Skyfire Ancestor enshrined deep within the sect.

The incense energy supporting it rapidly dissipated.

Moreover, the life incense of several elders and disciples who had accompanied Skyfire Ancestor to Tongtian City extinguished one after another—all of them perished.

This scene left everyone in the Heavenly Fire Sect in utter terror.

Combined with the terrifying fluctuations from the direction of Tongtian Dao, they couldn’t even imagine what was happening over there.

And then—right at that moment—

A massive rift tore open in the sky above the Heavenly Fire Sect.

Thunder and lightning raged through the air.

Within the lightning, countless shadowy Thunder Dragons roared.

At the head of the pack was a Thunder Dragon radiating Void Mystical Demon Ancestor might, shocking the entire Divine Flame Path.

“Th-Thunder Dragon Patriarch?!”

The appearance and aura of this divine dragon left the Vice Sect Master of the Heavenly Fire Sect horrified, prompting him to instantly activate the sect’s protection formation.

In the face of this formation, the Thunder Dragon Patriarch spoke with disdain:

“The Heavenly Fire Sect’s ancestor harbored ill intent toward the Holy Son of the Demon Court and has been executed. By decree of Her Majesty the Demon Emperor, the Thunder Dragon Clan is here to wipe out the Heavenly Fire Sect.”

“You have one stick of incense’s time. Disband your formation and surrender, and you will not be killed.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire Heavenly Fire Sect went pale.

The Ancestor… was dead?!

What kind of joke was this?

The Holy Son of the Demon Court? Since when did the Demon Court have a Holy Son…?

But this was no isolated event.

It was happening in many places at once.

At the very moment the Thunder Dragon Princess achieved transformation, all Void Mystical Demon Ancestors of the Demon Court, along with the First and Second Holy Maidens, were pulled into a pitch-black space.

Within that darkness, a pair of terrifying demon eyes opened, making the Demon Ancestors unable to breathe.

“From this day forward, the Longevity Body Lin Jing is the Holy Son of my Demon Court, his status above all the Holy Maidens.”

“The Third Holy Maiden, Xu Qingyao, will be personally accepted as this emperor’s disciple, inheriting my teachings…”

This decree from the Demon Emperor shocked all the demon ancestors.

“The Transformation Technique has descended. The demon race is about to rise again. All of you—prepare yourselves.”

“From here on, the territories of these forces will be taken over by the Demon Court.”

“Heavenly Lion Clan… Heavenly Fire Sect…”

One by one, the demon ancestors listened in disbelief to the Demon Emperor’s orders.

Even the two Holy Maidens looked stunned.

But soon, the demon ancestors understood—

It was the Third Holy Maiden, Xu Qingyao, together with Lin Jing of the Beast Taming Sect and his Longevity Body, who discovered the Transformation Technique, prompting the Demon Emperor to act on such a large scale.

“Transformation Technique…”

The Kirin Ancestor was utterly stunned.

The Kirin Clan had invested so much in the Third Holy Maiden, and now, she had found the Transformation Technique and become the Demon Emperor’s personal disciple!

Shock gave way to overwhelming joy.

“The Heavenly Lion Clan will be completely wiped out by our Kirin Clan!”

The Kirin Ancestor stepped forward, volunteering to lead his clan in destroying the clan with whom Lin Jing had the deepest grudge.

“The Heavenly Fire Sect will be destroyed by us, the Thunder Dragon Clan,” declared the Thunder Dragon Patriarch, the first to know the truth and choosing a nearby target.

“The Sky-Swallowing Python Clan—leave that to me…”

At that moment, the demon ancestors competed to express loyalty to the Demon Court and take action.

And just like that, all of Qingzhou plunged into total upheaval.

Blood flowed like rivers. Wars erupted nonstop.

And at the center of this bloodshed, igniting it all—was Lin Jing, with each swing of his blade inside Tongtian City.

With every death of a Void Mystical or Soul Transformation expert from a major faction, a Demon Court clan would descend with an army.

In no time, the stench of blood saturated the skies above Qingzhou.

The upheaval in Qingzhou even began to affect other regions.

Ancient Celestial Kingdom.

Sect Regulatory Office.

As a nation of cultivators specializing in Heavenly Fortune, the Sect Regulatory Office mainly oversaw the fluctuations of fortune among sects under the Ancient Kingdom.

There was a great hall within it, dedicated to holding the symbolic tokens of various sects.

Even if a sect was under reform, as long as it hadn’t been officially disqualified, its token remained.

But in this moment, inside the Reform Hall, a wooden crane-shaped sculpture representing the Beast Taming Sect began to shift.

The originally balanced Human and Demonic Fortune forces twisted violently.

Suddenly, the Demonic Fortune exploded outward, shattering the wooden sculpture.

The terrifying wave of Demonic Fortune surged out and suppressed the Human Fortune from other sects—such as the Heavenly Sword Gate and Spirit Dao Sect.

It was like a demonic storm had erupted inside the Sect Regulatory Hall, flipping over the tokens of countless sects.

The scene made the Void Mystical Prefect of the office rush to the hall in shock.

“That’s… the Beast Taming Sect of the Ancient Kingdom…”

“How is this possible?! The Beast Taming Sect’s Demonic Fortune just now… actually reached the point of overturning the Kingdom’s fortune…”

He was dumbfounded.

Though he didn’t know what happened, he immediately erased the Beast Taming Sect’s name from the list of registered sects, barely preventing the spread of that fortune.

Even then, he was left gasping for breath, face deathly pale—this was a first for him.

He turned to look toward Qingzhou.

Clearly, something major had happened to the Beast Taming Sect over there.

“I need an audience with the Emperor!”

The Prefect opened a spatial gate directly to the Ancient Kingdom’s imperial city.

Meanwhile, at the top of the capital’s ancient city walls, the Second Ancient Emperor stood watching the rising dragon-shaped Demonic Fortune from Qingzhou with a grave expression.

“…So, the Lord of the Demon Court has developed ambitions to rule all demon beasts and intends to take over Qingzhou.”

“What exactly happened there…?”

While the beast clans and cultivation families across Qingzhou were suffering annihilation, one of the Three Great Demonic Sects—Yin Corpse Sect—was oddly spared.

In the Yin Corpse Sect headquarters, inside the secret realm, the life tablet of the Nine-Infant Demon Lord shattered.

But no demon beast army came.

Because the Yin Corpse Sect… would be facing the Emperor directly.

The secret realm was forcefully torn open.

The Corpse Emperor’s Daughter, who was deep in seclusion, instantly awoke.

She saw a chubby little girl with a tiger’s head floating above a strange space, quietly studying a celestial beast corpse sealed by the Yin Corpse Sect.

It was the corpse of a bull-shaped demon beast.

Even after who knows how many years of death, it still radiated terrifying pressure.

“So this is what you wanted the Longevity Body for…?”

“From now on, this celestial beast corpse belongs to the Demon Court.”
