Chapter 252: The Monkey King Emerges

“Didn’t you Cultivate the Dual False Core?” Lin Jing spoke. “Regardless of whether you can break through their defense or not, just land one hit and come back down.”

“Forget it, forget it.” Ouyang Hao smiled bitterly and said without confidence, “The difference in cultivation is too great, and the Bloodline gap is also significant. Most importantly, the opponent is water-attributed, which counters the Fake Sun Pill technique.”

“I won’t go up there just to feed them power. Captain, you go.”

“Yeah, Captain, you go.” The Big Black Bull and the other beasts also chimed in. They had no desire to fight this monster; even with the Fake Sun Pill technique, they would definitely be killed in seconds!

They wanted to let monsters of the same level, like Lin Jing and the Iron-Eating Beast, fight that Dragon Turtle—preferably to the point of mutual destruction—so that they would have a chance to shine afterward.

Lin Jing was speechless. He was trying to help Senior Brother Ouyang earn merit. Even contributing a tiny bit of effort counted. Once he went up there, however, there would be no “afterward” for the others.

“Since you won’t go, I’ll go.” Lin Jing shook his head and walked onto the arena. Seeing this, the Clan Chief and Elders of the Kirin Clan, as well as the other two Saintesses and their followers, all narrowed their eyes.

The Fire Dragon Pill Master… Did the Third Holy Maiden really let this guy enter the arena so early?

They felt that the best choice would have been to have the Fire Dragon Pill Master wait—what if, in a short while, that Fire Qilin could emerge from the ancestral grounds?

Entering now was not a wise move.

“Foundation Establishment Late Stage.” Seeing Lin Jing, the Dragon Turtle Egu curled its lip in disdain and said, “Beast Master under the Third Holy Maiden, you coming up here must mean that you have other Pet Beasts to use, right?”

“That’s right.” Lin Jing chuckled.

“If it were that Fire Qilin, I might be a bit wary, but as for the others…” Like most of the Dragon Clan, the Dragon Turtle Egu was incredibly arrogant.

However, as ripples flickered in the air around them and Lin Jing began to summon his other Pet Beast, the Dragon Turtle Egu’s expression suddenly changed drastically.

Bang. Bang. A sound like war drums echoed. Lin Jing stood in the arena, and beside him, a giant ape as tall as a small mountain, with white hair and red feet, slowly walked out. Its appearance instantly shocked the entire audience, who felt a terrifying wave of Bloodline Power.

The Dragon Turtle Egu felt the Bloodline suppression from this giant ape immediately!!!

“Demon Ancestor Bloodline? Are you kidding me? Ancestor-level Bloodline!?!” it exclaimed in shock.

Not only it, but the First and Second Holy Maidens also stood up abruptly, unable to imagine that Lin Jing had actually summoned a Yao Beast possessing an Ancestor-level Bloodline.

This was an Ancestor-level Bloodline, with a high probability of having the potential to become a Demon Ancestor.

Every Yao Beast present was shocked, and even the powerhouses of the Kirin Clan found it completely unbelievable.

They had originally thought that the Fire Qilin was the Fire Dragon Pill Master’s strongest Pet Beast. Who could have predicted he would turn around and summon one with a Demon Ancestor Bloodline!

“A relic of the primordial era, a Zhu Yan.” The powerhouses of the Kirin Clan recognized the creature.

“How could a Zhu Yan still be alive in this era?” The First and Second Holy Maidens were very confused.

This Zhu Yan displayed the cultivation of the Early Stage of the Demon Core, with Bloodline Power fluctuations at the Demon Ancestor level and surging Evil Qi; it was completely indistinguishable from a real living being.

Only Xu Qingyao knew that this Zhu Yan was shaped by illusion, solidified with the Inverse Void Technique. However, because Lin Jing’s mastery of illusion was overly exaggerated, this Zhu Yan illusion beast was just like a real Zhu Yan, making it impossible for people to distinguish between true and false!

In everyone’s eyes, Lin Jing had just summoned a real Zhu Yan cub!

The members of Magpie Feather pointed at the Zhu Yan, stunned and unable to comprehend.

“It, it, it, it—” What kind of monster did Your Highness the Saintess bring back? How could he even summon a Yao Beast with a Demon Ancestor Bloodline! No wonder she didn’t look favorably upon that Longevity Physique, Lin Jing!

“Smash!” Lin Jing commanded. The next instant, the Zhu Yan’s giant fist smashed toward the Dragon Turtle. With a “boom,” the prison runes on the Dragon Turtle’s body shattered, its Demonic Technique was broken, and then with a “crack,” some cracks appeared on the Dragon Turtle’s shell.

The Dragon Turtle Egu was greatly shocked and terrified.

On the deathly silent arena, it suddenly erupted with a massive vibrating force, knocking the mountain-like Zhu Yan back.

Subsequently, the cracks and wounds on its body began to recover at an extremely fast speed.

Huff—huff. As it gasped nervously, it suddenly burst into laughter.

“Hahahaha.” The Dragon Turtle Egu breathed a sigh of relief. The Zhu Yan’s Bloodline aura had indeed given it a fright, but after exchanging blows, it realized that the opponent was only breaking its defense normally and could not kill or severely injure it in seconds. It knew that it would still be the one to emerge victorious.

“Although the Bloodline is astonishing, the Realm is ultimately too low.”

Boom. The Zhu Yan smashed down again, but the defensive power and recovery ability of the Dragon Turtle, which cultivated the “Undying and Indestructible Sutra,” were too astonishing. No matter how much the Zhu Yan suppressed it, it could not severely injure it.

“Demon Core Divine Ability—” Being heavily suppressed by the Zhu Yan, the Dragon Turtle Egu was unwilling to remain in this state and directly activated its Demon Core Divine Ability. Although this would wear down its Demon Core, given their status and position, obtaining Spirit Medicine to repair the Demon Core was simply too easy.

This was a defensive-type Demon Core Divine Ability. Once activated, the turtle shell became like the Nine Heavens. When the Zhu Yan’s fist landed, not only was the Dragon Turtle completely unharmed, but the Zhu Yan’s fist instead emitted the sound of shattering bones.

“It seems Egu is still superior—” Although the powerhouses of the Kirin Clan were shocked by the existence of the Zhu Yan, the gap in Realm was clearly difficult to bridge.

“Can it really do it?” Xu Qingyao worried when she saw this. After all, this Zhu Yan was fake—if it were the real body, it might still have the strength for a fight. Had Lin Jing misjudged the strength of both sides?

Xu Qingyao observed and discovered that Lin Jing was not panicked.

“You’ve got some skills.” Lin Jing also spoke slowly. This Dragon Turtle was tougher than he had imagined— He cast a reassuring glance at his Senior Sister, then looked at the increasingly arrogant Dragon Turtle.

“In that case, we might as well use our Demon Core Divine Ability too.”

The Zhu Yan illusion naturally had no Demon Core Divine Ability, but the current image was not the Peak of his illusion technique either. By using the Demon Core Divine Ability as a disguise, he could enhance the illusion! The illusion beast just now hadn’t even been enhanced by the Spell Spirit!

“Transform. I allow you to go all out.”

“Roar!!!” As Lin Jing spoke, the Zhu Yan that had been knocked back flashed red light in its eyes, and its entire body was suddenly enveloped in a special flame. Under the cover of the flames, it roared loudly, its body size constantly shrinking. Within the illusion, a heart resembling a mushroom beat thump-thump!

Lin Jing began to use the Spell Spirit to accelerate the consumption and enhance the illusion!

At the same time, the rate of Lin Jing’s mana consumption was more than several times what it was before. Thanks to his deep mana at the Qi Training Stage Thirteenth Layer Foundation Establishment, and having other Pet Beasts as a secondary energy source—the Pine Leaf Squirrel helplessly shared all its mana with the Beast Master.

As the flames dissipated, the Zhu Yan’s brand new image floated in the air. It was no longer white-headed with red feet, but had the image of an ordinary macaque—

But, facing this image, the crowd’s gazes were even more complex. Although its size had shrunk significantly, this monkey was wearing shining golden armor, a golden crown on its head, cloud-stepping shoes on its feet, a red scarf fluttering, and it held an iron rod. Although its Realm fluctuations and Bloodline Power fluctuations were similar to before, it gave people a feeling of an even more terrifying aura.

“Is this a Zhu Yan?” The powerhouses of the Kirin Clan were confused!

Ruyi Golden Cudgel, Phoenix-Winged Purple Gold Crown, Chain-Linked Golden Armor, Lotus-Silk Cloud-Stepping Shoes. Lin Jing stroked his chin. Ever since he learned illusion not long ago, he had always wanted to perfect this image, but unfortunately, he had never been very successful. But now that he could perfectly replicate the Zhu Yan, using the Zhu Yan image as the Foundation and the Spell Spirit as the core, it could finally be considered a Minor Achievement, right?

This image was what he meant when he told his Senior Sister he would go all out!

“Is this its Demon Core Divine Ability? Creating a few Magic Treasures? Do you think this can defeat me?”

Although the Dragon Turtle felt a trace of unease, it still bit the bullet and engaged in battle, condensing an Immortal Prison with its Bloodline Power to suppress the enemy.

“Hehehe!!” However, facing this Immortal Prison Demonic Technique suppression, the monkey still had a playful expression on its face, completely disregarding it. As its Fiery Eyes flickered, the Dragon Turtle opposite was greatly shocked, as if it had fallen into an illusion, seeing an extremely terrifying scene—Layered Illusion!

The ancient East Sea Dragon Palace was in chaos before its eyes, and the ancient supreme Immortal Palace was in turmoil before it. As this monkey swung its iron rod, the Immortal Prison shattered instantly—the Dragon Turtle was also affected by the illusion, its mind and demonic power were thrown into chaos, and its protective Divine Ability dissipated unsteadily.

“Little turtle, you talk quite big. Eat one, two, three of my rods.” It transformed into a Three Heads Six Arms form, and multiple iron rods smashed down together.

Boom! The Dragon Turtle’s shell shattered into pieces, and it was smashed into the ground with one rod, flesh and blood flying, its eyes turning white.

“Who… are you?”

Subsequently, the monkey returned to its normal state, spun its rod, and pointed at the stunned First and Second Holy Maidens and their followers.

“I hadn’t even used my full strength yet, and it already fell. How about you all come at me together?” Lin Jing controlled it to say those cocky words.
