Beast Taming Patrol Chapter 1569 - 438: Method for Breaking Through to Tier 10
Previously on Beast Taming Patrol...
At the heart of the Northern Divine Region, a vast array of mighty powerhouses converged.
Even a single one of these formidable figures advancing could unleash turmoil across any territory.
Present among them stood the dominant powers originating from the Northern Divine Region, revived powerhouses dispatched by the West Profound Domain prior to the Martial Emperor's collapse, and those who braved the Endless Sea from the Eastern Extreme Domain.
Never since the millennium catastrophe's conclusion and the exile of the mythical beasts had the forces of the three chief human domains assembled like this.
But now, driven by the Time Master's looming threat, humanity forged unity once more.
Right then, these powerhouses engaged in a heated dispute over a crucial matter.
The crux of their debate revolved around who should bear the weight of challenging the Time Master.
From the prior clash between the Martial Emperor and the Time Master, every attendee grasped that against a mythical being, overwhelming numbers offered no advantage.
Hence, without humanity summoning a supreme entity able to rival the Time Master, this calamity would inevitably spell defeat for humankind.
With humanity's long history of dominating mythical beasts, none expected these creatures to extend any compassion.
So, within mere moments, they forged a shared resolution.
At that juncture, all three human domains agreed to abandon every grudge, devoting all means to hastily nurture a potent warrior who could endure against the Time Master.
Still, they failed to agree on the precise individual to select.
For once the choice was made, reversals would prove scarce.
"Our forebear, upon ascending to the Martial God Realm, documented his insights into reaching that stage." The Emperor Martial Palace Master declared in a grave tone, "Armed with those insights, progressing from the nine heavens of the Martial Domain Realm to the Martial God Realm will prove far simpler."
Additional martial cultivators voiced their support, yearning for the pick to hail from the martial path.
"Your point holds merit, yet the assets we can invest grant us just a single shot." The Nether Soul Palace Master, Zou Mingruo, stated evenly, "Since the Martial Emperor failed to slay the Time Master, will attaining the Martial God Realm succeed?"
The instant those words escaped, every martial path follower hushed.
The Martial Emperor already embodied the zenith of martial cultivation.
Not one martial expert in attendance would boast of matching the Martial Emperor's prowess after entering the Martial God Realm, to say nothing of vanquishing the Time Master.
"Along the martial path, before attaining the Martial Domain Realm, one vastly outstrips a comparable mythical beast; even Beast Tamers directing several beasts can't match them on equal footing."
Miao Yunge remarked with a grave look, "Yet you have to concede that the divide between immortal mythical beasts and the Martial Domain Realm isn't vast, and on superior tiers, mythical beasts might eclipse the martial path."
"That's solely due to the Time Master's might; it doesn't speak for every mythical beast." A Martial Domain powerhouse shot back irritably.
"We're up against the Time Master, though." Liu Changxuan exhaled wearily, "What's the point in quarreling at this stage?"
"Time wields great power, yet space commands equal awe." He uttered deliberately, "My sect's Lin Venerate and the Immortal Phoenix Sect's Tree Venerable both dwell in the ninth realm of spatial arts; should either ascend to mythical status, victory over the Time Master becomes feasible."
The united leaders of the Northern Divine Region's Three Beast Taming Sects inclined their heads, plainly backing the option of either spatial immortal.
"Forgive my directness." The Tongyou Taixuan Palace Master, Jiang Hegui, gave a faint head shake, "Be it the Lin Venerate or the Tree Venerable, they've transcended being Beast Tamers, evolving into full mythical beasts rather than mere allies."
"Should they advance further and align with the mythical beasts, what fate awaits us?"
"Hmph!"
Scarce had Jiang Hegui concluded when an overwhelming aura crashed down from across the room, striking him squarely.
Jiang Hegui, a ninth-level Martial Domain cultivator, paled beneath the assault, appearing visibly strained.
"Is there any call for intimidation?!"
A handful of martial path followers promptly protested, jointly releasing their auras, which thickened the hall's tension.
Ji Qinghuan remained composed at the forefront of the Eastern Extreme Domain delegation, having already activated the Guardian Beast Co-operation stance.
A cold spark flickered in her gaze as she fixed it on Jiang Hegui, "I haven't yet addressed your prior assault on my disciple."
"Friend Ji, with the mythical beast threat unresolved, we must avoid turning on each other."
The Emperor Martial Palace Master offered a wry grin, hastening to counsel.
"For the sake of the Emperor Martial Palace's allies, I'll hold back." Ji Qinghuan gradually eased the aura, dissolving the Guardian Beast Co-operation stance, as the forms of the Feng Venerable, Tree Venerable, and Spirit Master materialized anew behind her.
Though the dread force receded, her stare still bore down with unyielding intensity.
"The Qianling Sect's Lin Venerate served as the spirit beast to the famed Beast Tamer known as the Emperor of Spirits, and post the Emperor of Spirits' demise, it has shielded the Qianling Sect for a millennium with unwavering loyalty."
"Our Immortal Phoenix Sect's Tree Venerable has defended the sect across centuries and endured a clash with the Time Master while at the ninth realm, alongside various eighth-realm immortals."
"Betraying us for the mythical beasts is impossible for them. Still, I wonder what motive drives you to stir unrest here?"
Confronted by Ji Qinghuan's probe, Jiang Hegui faltered, at a loss for words.
He genuinely dreaded inciting this assembly's supreme authority and meeting death on the spot.
"No matter if the Beast Tamers persist, these immortals ready to fight beside us count as humanity's comrades; enough with words that fracture unity." Zhou Chaotian, accompanying Ji Qinghuan, sought to defuse the tension before suggesting his notion, "Maybe... we can devise a path for a fabled Beast Tamer to ascend?"
