Beast Taming Patrol Chapter 1544 - 430: Crisis of the Immortal Phoenix Sect (2-in-1, Finale Countdown: 20)_5

These mysteries appear to keep luring Lin Su toward revealing the reality behind them.

Previously, the One Life Reincarnation Hall had remained beyond his comprehension.

One can't help but wonder whether Lin Su, elevated to the status of a famed Beast Tamer, might now uncover certain hints within it.

"The Time Master has pulled back the Southern Wilderness beasts from the Endless Sea." Nearby, Lanlan, having condensed the power of faith into a fresh faith avatar and absorbed plenty of details from the earlier one, displayed delight across her features, "Currently, the Southern Wilderness beasts lingering in the Endless Sea number less than a tenth of their former count."

"Huh?" Lin Su jolted back to the present, surprise flashing across his expression.

Has the Time Master recalled the Southern Wilderness beasts from the Endless Sea?

"Wonderful!" Youyou exclaimed with glee, "Surely Lanlan’s faith avatars are the reason they fled!"

"Yet this unfolded far more effortlessly than I'd anticipated." A trace of bewilderment crossed Lanlan’s countenance, "Those prior faith avatars of mine only reached emperor level. Could they truly possess such intimidating power?"

"Maybe the world's shifting dynamics play a role too." Guigui chimed in from beside them, "Immortal-level beasts' power has surged swiftly lately, compelling the Southern Wilderness beasts to pursue their own advancements."

"I feel some concern—what if the Time Master advances once more?" Qiuqiu creased her brows deeply.

The Time Master has already attained the ninth realm of immortality.

Should it seize this chance to ascend beyond immortality, into a domain untouched by any beast before.

It would prove exceedingly tough to confront, I fear.

"When foes approach, meet them with warriors; when floods rise, block them with soil." Lin Su gently stroked Qiuqiu’s head, his face betraying little concern, "Provided we surpass the Time Master in our breakthroughs, everything should turn out fine, right? Worst case, we head back to Blue Star for our advancements."

"With fewer Southern Wilderness beasts in the Endless Sea than previously, this presents a fine chance for us as well."

"Thus, heading back to the Eastern Extreme Domain becomes simpler now."

"We'll handle the rest once we're in the Eastern Extreme Domain."

"Yes!" All six little ones bobbed their heads together.

Getting back home takes top priority.

Everything else can wait until we're home.

At Lin Su’s command, the golden Cooperation Light enveloped the six little ones and rocketed upward.

In the instant that followed, the six little ones' forms vanished completely, as Lin Su’s presence swelled without cease, climbing to a peak never before achieved.

"Such immense power!" He blurted out in awe, launching himself skyward to survey the expansive azure Endless Sea stretching before him.

Right as he prepared to depart, his frame abruptly stiffened.

A stare brimming with overwhelming might, equal to his own or perhaps greater, abruptly fixed upon him!

Does the West Profound Domain harbor beings of such formidable strength?!

A chill raced along Lin Su’s spine; he whirled around swiftly and locked eyes with that distant scrutiny.

There sat a silhouette in lotus position atop a jade coffin, its form shriveled akin to a desiccated corpse, though each bone gleamed with brilliant golden radiance, exuding a fearsome presence reminiscent of a godly artifact.

One could scarcely determine if it was a living being or an artifact surpassing the pinnacle of supreme divine weapons.

And in that very instant, as the world's energy flowed in, the figure's surrounding flesh began to regenerate, the taut skin over the bones gradually plumping up.

Within its imposing aura lingered subtle traces of the uncanny.

Even across the great expanse dividing Lin Su from the figure, the instant their gazes connected, that outline dominated Lin Su’s whole view.

An overwhelming surge of might erupted from its form, bearing down on Lin Su remotely, laced with a touch of exploration.

Long before Lin Su could counter, that dread force melted away into oblivion.

"Could this be the Guardian Beast Co-operation method?"

A profound tone echoed from the distance, issuing from the figure's lips as they stirred.

"Who are you?" Lin Su clenched his spear tighter, bracing for combat.

"I am the Martial Emperor." In a mere moment, flesh had substantially reformed on the figure’s face, its formerly parched eyes now alive with vitality, regarding Lin Su with keen interest.

Martial Emperor?!

Lin Su’s eyes bulged wide in astonishment.

This name rang familiar to him, though its bearer was supposed to have perished ages ago.

Is the Martial Emperor truly still among the living?!

After the initial jolt, Lin Su drew in a steadying breath, compelling composure as myriad ideas raced through his thoughts.

The Martial Emperor had stood as a pivotal force in humanity's triumph against the mythical beasts.

For humankind, he merited profound respect without question.

Still, as the foremost proponent of the martial way, Lin Su remained uncertain of his stance toward one like himself, versed in the Guardian Beast Co-operation method.

With that in mind, he gave a respectful nod from afar and addressed him evenly, "Martial Emperor Senior, what counsel do you offer?"

"Counsel? Hardly." The Martial Emperor’s tone rang firm and resonant, "Are you aware of the ninth-realm immortal dwelling in the Southern Wilderness?"

"I am." Lin Su inclined his head.

"Right now, I sense it mirroring my own efforts to ascend to a superior plane." Nostalgia colored the Martial Emperor’s words, "Back when I attained the Martial Domain Realm, the inaugural immortal beast emerged."

"And now, pursuing the Martial God Realm—what I term the subsequent martial stage—I never foresaw a beast immortal teetering on the edge of a novel breakthrough."

"My existence has brimmed with twists, grandeur, and chaos."

"It seems fate calls me to ascend through tempests."

"Upon reaching the Martial God Realm and felling that defiant beast..." Pride and assurance infused the Martial Emperor’s voice, "After I once more bind those defiant beasts securely in the Southern Wilderness, quelling their overreaching desires."

"That’s when I’ll turn my attention to the Beast-taming lineage." The Martial Emperor fixed Lin Su with a serene look, "I’m unsure if you lead the Beast-taming lineage now, or if not..."
