Beast Taming Patrol Chapter 1450 - 409: Divine Court Sacrificial Song

Previously on Beast Taming Patrol...
Tata overcomes its initial hesitation and absorbs a series of multicolored needles from the Nine Nether Pavilion, granting it a massive surge of spiritual power. This transformation allows Tata to finally decipher the mysterious musical scores of the Divine Court, which had previously remained a mystery to Lin Su. Upon singing a fragment of the seventh sacrificial song, Tata inadvertently channels a terrifying energy that suggests a new, devastating path of power. Recognizing the potential of these ancient melodies, Lin Su prepares to test the remaining scores to uncover the full extent of Tata’s hidden abilities.

A door stood silently within the bedroom of the Nether Soul Palace, a space specifically set aside for Lin Su's use.

This doorway led to the Fake Heaven Secret Realm, an artifact Lin Su carried at all times.

Inside the Secret Realm at this moment, Lin Su and the Four Little Ones had circled around Tata, their expressions filled with anticipation and nerves.

"Are you ready?" he inquired in a low, serious tone.

Tata gave a firm, heavy nod while clutching a stack of sheet music tightly.

"Ta! ʕ✪ᴥ✪ʔ" (Let’s begin!)

The exhaustion resulting from the earlier attempt at the seventh Chapter had been completely erased, thanks to the passive effects of its self-recovery rules.

This was one of Tata’s primary strengths.

Due to its profound mastery over recovery rules, its ability to regenerate was far superior to that of its companions.

Now, it was prepared to experiment with the other transcribed Chapters recovered by the Divine Court.

First, it focused on the top page, eyes shimmering with a vibrant, five-colored light.

In the next breath, as ancient and enigmatic syllables were chanted, a massive surge of spiritual power bridged the gap between heaven and earth, churning the supernatural energy that permeated the Fake Heaven Secret Realm.

A potent force began to manifest behind Tata.

The process was much smoother than the previous attempt, allowing Lin Su and the Four Little Ones to quickly discern the shape forming at Tata's back.

It was a silver-white spear, etched with intricate golden runes and radiating a holy aura. It felt as though the weapon existed to purge all the world's corruption, vibrating with a terrifying, unimaginable power.

The light in Tata’s eyes flared intensely as the spear's form solidified!

The tempo of the song increased, its voice growing more powerful until the final syllable resonated through the air.

The spear, now fully condensed and vibrating with a force that made the Four Little Ones tremble, suddenly shot forward into the void!

"Boom!"

Following a deafening explosion, a distant hill was pierced through instantly, collapsing into a heap of shattered stone and rubble.

Tata had successfully finished the chant!

For the first time since its birth, Tata had acquired a method of direct attack in the physical world!

Though it was gasping for air and clearly drained by the strike, its morale was incredibly high.

Success had been achieved!

It truly possessed the means to fight!

"Tata, you were incredible!" Lin Su said excitedly as he scooped Tata up. "Which Chapter was it this time?"

"Ta! ʕ✪ᴥ✪ʔ" (Divine Court Sacrificial Song Fourth Chapter - Holy Judgment!)

"So, it was the fourth," Lin Su noted with a small nod.

It was just as he suspected; this belonged to the same set as the fragmented seventh Chapter from before.

The fact that the fourth Chapter was functional while the seventh was not suggested that the first, second, and third Chapters were likely usable as well—provided they were included in this collection of documents.

"Take a moment to recover, then we will test the others," Lin Su said with a smile.

He hadn't expected that the Five Colors of the Nine Nether Pavilion would grant Tata the ability to tap into the Divine Court’s legacy rather than a brand-new skill. It was a fortunate turn of events.

Tata nodded. Under the influence of its recovery rules, its depleted energy was replenished at a shocking speed, dozens of times faster than a normal rate of restoration.

A short while later, fully refreshed, it put aside the fourth Chapter and turned its attention to another transcribed text.

The five-colored glow once again ignited in its eyes.

The singing began anew!

...

Several hours passed before Lin Su and the Five Little Ones stepped out from the entrance of the Fake Heaven Secret Realm.

After reverting the realm back into its pearl form, Lin Su looked at Tata. Seeing the uncontrollable grin on the little one's face, he couldn't help but smile himself.

Every ancient musical manuscript retrieved from the Divine Court Secret Realm had been thoroughly tested by Tata over the last few hours.

The results of these trials aligned with Lin Su’s predictions.

The documents contained nine Chapters in total, forming a cohesive series known as the Divine Court Sacrificial Song.

While they were categorized as songs, they functioned more like specialized techniques that required a chant to activate.

As Lin Su had guessed, the limit of Tata’s current ability was the Divine Court Sacrificial Song Fourth Chapter - Holy Judgment.

Even with its best efforts, it fell just short of being able to perform the fifth Chapter.

However, Tata could successfully execute the three Chapters preceding the fourth.

The Divine Court Sacrificial Song First Chapter - Sin Abandonment.

The Divine Court Sacrificial Song Second Chapter - Purification.

The Divine Court Sacrificial Song Third Chapter - Vigilance.

Sin Abandonment, the opening Chapter of the series, was capable of dealing area-of-effect damage and marking targets as "guilty." Once this judgment was placed, it possessed a level of absolute authority that could not be easily removed.

The second Chapter, Purification, was a specialized strike meant to follow the first. While it lacked significant power against normal foes, it dealt devastating damage to those marked by Sin Abandonment. Against weaker opponents, it could even result in total erasure.

The third Chapter, Vigilance, served as a defensive technique. Its protective strength far exceeded Tata’s previous Song of Protection. Even a full-power attack from Youyou could only barely crack the barrier formed by Vigilance.

When combined with the high single-target damage of the fourth Chapter, Holy Judgment, Tata had received an epic power boost this time.

Naturally, using these special abilities came with certain drawbacks.

Specifically, the activation required a notably long chanting period.

Lin Su hadn't yet figured out how to mitigate this flaw, but overall, he and the Five Little Ones—especially Tata—were thrilled with this unexpected gain.

Aside from Tata, the one most delighted by this was undoubtedly Youyou.
