Beast Taming Patrol Chapter 1503 - 423: Homeward Journey and Unexpected Events (2-in-1, Finale Countdown: 28) (Part 6)

The Phantom King had sought vengeance for his brother, and from his own perspective, his actions were justified.

Nevertheless, since he had endangered Lin Su’s life, Lin Su would not show even a shred of compassion.

With a swift motion of his hand, he swiped at the air, and the Phantom King’s remains were instantly pulled into the Hell World.

As the Phantom King perished, Yingying’s voice echoed in Lin Su's mind, explaining that this enemy's power contained the fragments required to complete its Illusion and Reality Rules.

Consequently, Lin Su was more than happy to claim the Phantom King’s corpse.

He then shifted his attention toward Cai Zun and Yue Xie, who were locked in combat nearby.

By now, that side of the battlefield had also turned into a one-sided slaughter.

"Cai Zun, stop! I will leave this place immediately!" Yue Xie’s voice trembled with visible terror.

The sight of the Phantom King being extinguished so effortlessly by Lin Su had thoroughly unnerved him.

Even though Lin Su’s current Cultivation was only at the fourth realm, there was no telling what other terrifying trump cards he might be hiding.

Already struggling against Cai Zun’s overwhelming power, Yue Xie didn't dare to take any more risks.

"You think you can just leave?"

Cai Zun let out a freezing sneer, and his aura erupted toward the heavens!

This massive pressure surged violently, proving to be far more potent than the strength he had displayed moments ago!

"What?! You were holding back your true power?!"

Yue Xie’s voice was now thick with both panic and bewilderment.

Cai Zun did not bother to reply. The Eight-Colored Divine Light transformed into a barrage of lethal strikes, raining down upon Yue Xie with killing intent!

Full strength?

Previously, he had reserved at least thirty percent of his Qi and focus to ensure the Phantom King didn't use some desperate final strike against Lin Su.

After all, Cai Zun was famous for the cautious nature he cultivated at Self Transformation Valley!

Watching Yue Xie fall into a hopeless situation with no way to fight back, Lin Su finally exhaled a soft sigh of relief.

He couldn't help but turn his gaze toward the Three Beast Taming Sects.

At this moment, those Sects were likely locked in a confrontation with the warriors.

While two major immortal threats had been dealt with, it was still too early to drop his guard.

Who could say for certain that no more traps were waiting in the shadows?

A look of contemplation crossed Lin Su’s face before he flipped his palm, revealing a Jade Ruyi.

This Jade Ruyi, much like the Jade Glazed Phoenix Crown, was a gift from Ji Qinghuan.

It contained the profound power of Rong Zun.

By shattering it, he could instantly teleport back to the Immortal Phoenix Sect, regardless of the distance.

He sent a mental transmission to Cai Zun: "Cai Zun, things have taken an unexpected turn. I am going to use a spatial artifact to return to the Eastern Extreme Domain first. Once you have settled matters here, please visit me there so I can properly repay your kindness."

Cai Zun, while continuing to crush Yue Xie with the Eight-Colored Divine Light, felt his eyes flicker.

With such chaos erupting, he couldn't simply travel to the Eastern Extreme Domain as if nothing was wrong.

Once Yue Xie was dead, he needed to rush back to Self Transformation Valley to check on the Sect, meaning he wouldn't be able to protect Lin Su.

It was for the best that Lin Su retreated on his own.

With that in mind, Cai Zun quickly messaged back, "Understood. My apologies for failing to provide better protection."

"You are too modest, Cai Zun. This situation was unforeseen, and I am already deeply in your debt," Lin Su replied earnestly before crushing the Jade Ruyi without hesitation.

"Boom!"

The moment the artifact broke, the hazy shadow of a massive, ancient tree manifested with a thunderous roar.

It was a phantom of Rong Zun’s true form. As it appeared, countless branches reached out, weaving together to create layers of folded space.

These branches rapidly cocooned Lin Su, sealing him inside like a protective nest.

In the following instant, a tidal wave of spatial power erupted.

A void tunnel stretched out from their current position, reaching toward the Eastern Extreme Domain.

As the path attempted to cross the Endless Sea, its progress slowed considerably.

Even a master of the eighth realm like Rong Zun could not entirely bypass the restrictions of the Sea Breaking Barrier.

Luckily, the momentum suggested the transport would be finished in just a few breaths.

Nearby, accompanied by a world-shaking scream of agony, Yue Xie was skewered by the endless rays of Cai Zun’s Eight-Colored Divine Light.

That magnificent radiance seemed bottomless; the eight colors intertwined in a complex pattern, creating a destructive force that erased everything Yue Xie was.

Physical body, inner strength, and comprehension of Rules—all of it.

Everything was reduced to cinders by that searing, majestic light. When the glow finally dissipated, Yue Xie’s massive kilometer-long form had vanished completely, leaving not even a bone behind.

"Phew!"

Cai Zun exhaled heavily.

Upon reaching the seventh realm, an immortal’s vitality becomes incredibly dense; killing one is no simple feat.

Despite his superior strength, the effort had drained most of his energy, leaving him just enough to return to Self Transformation Valley.

He could have simply wounded Yue Xie and let him run.

However, this execution served as a brutal warning to the Wild Immortals of the Northern Divine Domain and the warriors.

Yue Xie was the sacrificial lamb used to intimidate the rest.

After ensuring Yue Xie was truly gone, Cai Zun looked toward Lin Su, who was now safely encased in the strange wooden cocoon.

A curious light shone in his eyes.

Word had it that the Immortal Phoenix Sect in the Eastern Extreme Domain was home to a master of space named Rong Zun.

Was this his technique?

With such a powerful guardian's methods, Lin Su’s return should be guaranteed.

Relaxing slightly as he watched the void tunnel reach the horizon, he called out, "Young Master Lin Su, I shall visit the Eastern Extreme Domain once this storm has passed!"

From within the branches, Lin Su’s muffled voice drifted out in response, "Cai Zun, the Eastern Extreme Domain will welcome you with open arms!"

Suddenly, a brilliant silver light of teleportation burst from the cocoon. The branches acted as a shield against the spatial turbulence, carrying Lin Su into the completed tunnel before he vanished in a flash.

Watching him go, Cai Zun felt a weight lift from his shoulders.

It was time for his own departure back to Self Transformation Valley.

But just as the thought formed, Cai Zun’s eyes nearly bulged out of his head.

An invisible, massive hand suddenly reached out and seized the spatial tunnel in the void!

Countless glowing glyphs and arcane energies swirled around that hand, exploding with a terrifying, blinding light!

It happened in the blink of an eye; the hand and its glyphs merged into an ancient, mysterious Formation.

As the Formation settled, the supposedly indestructible spatial path shattered into pieces!

From his vantage point, Cai Zun saw the branch cocoon containing Lin Su get swallowed by a violent spatial vortex, his destination now unknown.

Cai Zun’s eyes widened in fury, his mind reeling.

"WHO DARES?!"

From the far end of the broken path, a roar of extreme rage echoed across the vast distance, snapping Cai Zun back to his senses.

Was that Rong Zun of the Immortal Phoenix Sect?

His own anger flared as he glared toward a specific point in the empty air.

"Tongyou Taixuan Palace!!!"

A figure emerged from the void, hands tucked behind his back and a calm smile on his face.

"The Three Beast Taming Sects have conspired with the Eastern Extreme Domain, selling out the interests of our Northern Divine Domain. They intended to bring foreign powers into our lands to profit from the turmoil."

"Ever since I discovered this, I have been unable to sleep or eat in peace."

"Stopping such a treacherous plot today was a necessary burden."

"How regrettable, truly regrettable."
