Beast Tamer Ascension-Chapter 46Book 4: : Nightmare Come True?

Vol 4 Chapter 46: Nightmare Come True?

Same day.

After discovering that the artifact spirit of Martial Emperor City had malfunctioned, a few Martial Emperor successors immediately tried to contact the Martial Emperor, who was maintaining the Boundary Wall.

To prevent the Outer Realm's Heavenly Demons from easily entering the Tianyuan Realm, many Dao-Seeking experts of the Tianyuan Realm had gone to the Outer Realm to reinforce the Boundary Wall together.

The Ancient Emperor of the Ancient Kingdom, the Demon Emperor of the Demon Court, the Buddha Lord of the Buddhist Sect...

Maintaining the Boundary Wall was tiring and took effort, but it wasn’t like closed-door seclusion—it didn’t require complete isolation from the world.

However, the vice city lords of Martial Emperor City discovered that not only was the artifact spirit unreachable, but even the City Lord himself had seemingly gone missing, completely unreachable.

This situation made them deeply uneasy.

“Could something have gone wrong with the Boundary Wall over there??” They looked toward the Outer Realm.

.....

“I can’t even contact the incarnation the Demon Emperor left in the Tianyuan Realm now...”

Elsewhere, unable to reach the Sword Ancestor, Cold Moon Sword Immortal frowned as Lin Jing pulled out a Tiger Fang to try as well.

“There must be something wrong with the Boundary Wall...

“The artifact spirit’s disappearance from Martial Emperor City is likely because the Martial Emperor summoned it away.”

Feng Ning looked grim. “Yeah. If I can’t reach Master, she must have been affected by something.”

“And the Lord of the Demon Court... probably ran into trouble too. Even withdrew their incarnation.”

What on earth has happened...

Just as everyone was growing more uneasy, a little mushroom popped out of Lin Jing’s body, looking panicked, and muttered, “...Don’t tell me Mushroom really guessed it right.”

“What is that?” Feng Ning froze when she saw the little mushroom. “A Spell Spirit Origin? What did it guess right.”

Lin Jing pushed the mushroom back and said, “It’s nothing. It once predicted that even with many Dao-Seeking experts maintaining it, the Boundary Wall might not be strong enough to stop the Outer Realm Demons.”

“All those Dao-Seeking experts might end up having a huge battle with the Heavenly Demons at the Boundary.”

“It’s probably thinking that since we can’t reach any of the top experts right now, maybe it really did happen...”

“Sh*t, but its guess actually makes sense. We can’t reach those experts now—maybe they’re fighting and too busy to respond.” Gao Sheng’s expression changed. He hadn’t known anything at first about the Golden Era’s arrival or the invasion of the Demon Sect.

That sort of intel wasn’t something a Nascent Soul junior could access. To know the inside story, you had to at least be Void Mystical stage—and not just any rogue Void Mystical cultivator, but one trusted by the major Dao-Seeking powers.

But during their time at Bodhi Temple, Lin Jing had told him everything.

Now, he could follow the conversation between Lin Jing and Cold Moon Sword Immortal just fine.

“It’s just a mushroom’s guess. No need to get so pessimistic,” Lin Jing said.

Sure enough, as soon as Lin Jing finished speaking, the mini flying sword in Feng Ning’s hand trembled slightly.

Seeing this, Feng Ning let out a breath. “Master responded. Looks like...”

She had just begun to say something when a booming voice rang out from the mini sword.

“Ning’er, a strong cultivator from the Demon Realm used some unknown method to break through the Boundary Wall maintained by many Dao-Seeking experts. I, along with His Majesty the Ancient Emperor and others, fought back. We managed to kill that Demon Realm cultivator, but we were severely injured...”

“The battle probably didn’t affect the continent.”

“The good news is, that Demon Realm cultivator was successfully killed.”

“The bad news is, that cultivator was only an external incarnation, sent in advance to scout out the Tianyuan Realm!”

“Now that the incarnation is dead, and it has gathered general intel on our realm, I fear it won’t be long before the Demon Realm’s real army arrives.”

“Master...” Cold Moon Sword Immortal couldn’t believe it. The Boundary Wall of the Tianyuan Realm had actually been breached!

Beside her, the little Spell Spirit Origin Mushroom popped out again, gulped nervously. Gao Sheng widened his eyes. This topic was terrifying.

But the one whose thoughts were spinning the most was still Lin Jing.

He glanced at the mushroom, feeling a chill run through him.

No way... this jinxed little thing...

What about Her Majesty the Demon Emperor...

Even now, he still couldn’t contact the Demon Emperor!

He feared her fate might really be just like what the mushroom predicted...

“Sword Ancestor, what about Her Majesty the Demon Emperor? Since the battle is over, why can’t I contact her?” Lin Jing asked from the side.

The Sky-Splitting Sword Ancestor had already sensed the two beside Feng Ning through the mini sword. She continued,

“The Lord of the Demon Court...”

“The Lord of the Demon Court, the Ancient Emperor, the Buddha Lord, and the Martial Emperor City Lord—those four were the most seriously injured. They may need some time to recover... Your Highness, the Demon Emperor of the Demon Court was gravely wounded. Although this information isn’t widely known, you yourself must be cautious of Dao-Seeking experts from the three major Demon Sects. Ning’er, give one of the three life-saving sword intents I gave you to His Highness.”

Once the Sword Ancestor finished speaking, Feng Ning nodded and extended her hand, summoning one of the life-saving sword intents the Sword Ancestor had condensed after reaching the Dao-Seeking stage.

Whoosh.

A silver sword aura rose like a swimming dragon, radiating a mysterious energy.

Lin Jing didn’t stand on ceremony. He accepted it and fused it into his body. After thanking her, he signaled for Gao Sheng to explain the Artifact Ghost situation to the Sword Ancestor.

But by now, Lin Jing’s thoughts were no longer on the Artifact Ghost.

Her Majesty the Demon Emperor... was seriously injured.

That invading Demon Realm cultivator—just an external incarnation—was strong enough to leave the Tianyuan Realm’s top experts in that state.

“Judging from the Demon Body and the Heavenly Demon Divine Sense technique, the Demon techniques must be terrifying. Seems I shouldn’t hesitate anymore. For my external incarnation, I’ll just follow Senior Pine’s advice and cultivate the Demon Dao.”

“Now that Her Majesty the Demon Emperor is seriously injured, who knows how long it’ll take her to recover. My situation... has become unfavorable again. But thankfully, compared to the illusion that the Mushroom conjured, this isn’t the worst case yet. The Buddha Lord, the Ancient Emperor—they’re all badly wounded... the many Dao-Seeking experts all sustained injuries, more or less.”

“So next, I need to be wary of outliers like the Gu God or the Hall Master of the Netherworld Hall—those who don’t get along with most of the Dao-Seeking experts!”

Right now, Lin Jing had two choices: hide and wait for the Demon Emperor to recover, though no one knew how long that would take—or the second option: show something that would make enemies hesitate.

“Challenging the Martial Emperor successor was the right move. As long as I reveal the power of the Demon Body in battle, I can make potential enemies realize that I have the strength to go down with them. Even a Dao-Seeking expert wouldn’t want to bet on whether I can unleash a blow strong enough to shock them.”

As Lin Jing pondered, Gao Sheng had finished explaining the Artifact Ghost matter to the Sword Ancestor.

The Sword Ancestor was silent for a while before slowly speaking: “In my current state, I might be able to deal with a Void-level ghost creature, but defeating the Hall Master of the Netherworld Hall... that would be nearly impossible. However... I do have a plan.”
