Beast Taming Patrol Chapter 1525 - 427: Lin Su’s Decision (2-in-1, Finale Countdown: 24)

The eyes of the five little ones shifted toward Lanlan as they listened to the conversation.

Lanlan pressed her lips together and said, "I wish to return to the Blue Star with everyone. I want to meet that member of my clan."

Just as Wei Miao had always been without peers, Lanlan had also known only solitude. She felt a natural sense of curiosity regarding this unknown relative who had shown her such kindness.

Furthermore, Lanlan possessed another motivation for traveling to the Blue Star.

While the denizens of the Endless Sea had looked upon her with their blessings, she had also gathered information from them regarding the dire state of the region.

Because of this, she needed to master the laws of faith on the Blue Star with great haste.

"For more than a century, the Time Master has held total control over the Endless Sea, seizing immense resources to distribute among the immortals who serve him," Lanlan’s voice grew heavy with concern. "Utilizing these stolen riches, seven immortals of the eighth realm have risen within the Southern Wilderness Domain during these last hundred years!"

"That many?!"

Stunned expressions appeared on the faces of Lin Su and the other five companions upon hearing this revelation.

Although Yingying and Qiuqiu had previously Delved into the memories of the Endless Sea’s inhabitants, their search had been shallow and focused on weaker creatures, which limited the intelligence they could gather.

The true gravity of the situation in the Endless Sea finally dawned on everyone.

Seven immortals of the eighth realm!

When including the Time Master, they faced a total of eight.

A force of such terrifying magnitude was capable of overwhelming any domain it encountered.

Yet, the Northern Divine Domain and the Eastern Extreme Domain remained completely unaware of this threat.

Lin Su had never stepped foot in the West Profound Domain, but he suspected the ignorance there was likely the same. His face grew grim.

Having encountered the Time Master before, he knew the being’s greed would not be easily satisfied. Once the Time Master consolidated enough strength, the three human-occupied domains would surely be his next targets.

If that day arrived, the accumulated hatred of the divine martial beasts over thousands of years would erupt with catastrophic results.

"Our first priority is returning to the Blue Star," Lin Su said, taking a deep breath as he mapped out a strategy. "We must provide an account to President Shen and the others, and Lanlan needs to deepen her grasp of the Faith Evolution path."

"Since Lanlan’s laws of faith are tied to the lifeforms of the Endless Sea, there is no better time to study them than while we remain within these waters."

"After that, we will head back to the Eastern Extreme Domain as fast as we can." He hesitated for a moment before continuing, "We need to reassure our master and alert the Sect to the Time Master’s power so they can prepare for what's coming."

The six little ones offered no resistance to Lin Su’s plan. With a shimmering light, he pulled them back into the Beast Taming Space and leaned his back against a coastal reef.

"Put me under hypnosis and wake me in sixty seconds."

A moment later, his mind grew heavy, and he drifted into the dark void.

Traverse!

...

"My King!"

An immortal, whose massive form stretched tens of thousands of meters, materialized instantly and knelt before the Time Master with a look of fanatical devotion.

"The Endless Sea seemed to tremble for a brief moment earlier," the Time Master remarked. His eyes radiated a brilliant gold light, resembling a deity who looked down upon all existence. "Did your sweep of the Endless Sea reveal anything?"

"It did!" the immortal replied in a low tone, eager to prove his worth. "My subordinates reported unusual fluctuations coming from a small island near the West Profound Domain."

"After questioning several natives of the Endless Sea, it was determined that a unique spirit beast called the Pure Water Primordial Spirit has been born there. Many creatures now worship it as a protective god."

"Pure Water Primordial Spirit..." the Time Master whispered, a flicker of uncertainty crossing his features.

The name of that race felt both hauntingly familiar and strangely distant to him. A faint wave of anxiety washed over him.

"With the war against humanity approaching, the Endless Sea serves as our rear. We cannot permit any instability there," the Time Master declared, his gaze sharpening.

"Understood!" the eighth-realm immortal answered firmly. "I shall depart immediately to annihilate that island and the Pure Water Primordial Spirit residing upon it!"

"No..." The Time Master shook his head. His massive, ethereal form began to rise from the vast plains like a surging golden cloud. "I will handle this personally."

"King, you intend to go?"

"I have not made a move since reaching the ninth realm," the Time Master said with a cold glint in his eyes. "It is time to exert myself and remind those foolish, restless creatures of the Endless Sea to cast aside their pathetic hopes."

"Furthermore..."

"That island sits near the West Profound Domain."

"It provides a perfect chance to test that old man, the Martial Emperor."

"No one in the Martial Domain Realm should be able to survive for two millennia. I am quite curious to see how he has managed to linger this long."

...

High above the Endless Sea, a massive, towering tree flickered in and out of existence.

It was concealed within the void, remaining hidden from the perception of all other beings. The tree’s trunk and leaves were nearly translucent, appearing as though they were constructed from layers of distorted space.

This was the Banyan Lord, the entity that had terrified the great sects of the Eastern Extreme Domain. He had traveled from the Immortal Phoenix Sect to the Endless Sea in his search for Lin Su.

Currently, the ancient face formed within the void by the Banyan Lord showed signs of worry.

He had scoured more than half of the Endless Sea using the tracking mark on the Jade Leaf he gave Lin Su, yet he had found no trace of the youth's presence.

By his calculations, the mark was on the verge of fading. Once it vanished, finding Lin Su would become a nearly impossible task.
