Beast Taming Patrol Chapter 1530 - 428: Chaos Unleashed (Double-Length, Finale Countdown: 23)

With a face devoid of emotion, he casually pressed for more information, "Senior, do you have any idea why they have come?"

"I haven't the slightest clue about that." Shrugging his shoulders, the expert from the Emperor Martial Palace turned to walk away, adding, "Well, if there is nothing else, I shall be on my way."

Having obtained the details he required, Lin Su ignored the departing man. His focus was entirely locked on the path where the others had escaped.

"Gui Gui."

"Understood!" The void nearby shuddered faintly as Gui Gui, concealed within the dimensions, wrapped around Lin Su. In a flash, they vanished from the area, giving chase to those who had fled.

...

"Boom!"

A horrific detonation thundered across the firmament of the Endless Sea.

Following this ear-splitting blast, a faint, despairing cry could almost be detected in the air.

Cracks resembling a spider's web fractured the local space at that precise moment.

The area was twisted by countless chaotic and rogue spatial energies.

Even the sturdy Sea Breaking Barrier appeared to tremble momentarily under the weight of such terrifying might.

The island situated at the epicenter of the conflict was utterly destroyed, replaced by a massive, gaping crater.

Seawater rushed in to form a violent whirlpool, filling the void, though the colossal waves took a long time to settle.

Hovering in the void, a flicker of irritation crossed the Time Master’s features.

"Useless!"

At that low growl, the immortals standing behind it bowed their heads in shame.

Despite being led by a Ninth Realm and supported by three Eighth Realm and several Seventh Realm immortals, their attempt to corner a single Eighth Realm entity had failed. Not only did the target escape, but several of their own immortals had perished.

After venting its anger, the Time Master’s expression returned to a state of icy detachment.

It scanned the perimeter calmly, its eyes seemingly meeting the hidden gazes watching from the depths of the Endless Sea.

"This is the fate of anyone who dares to defy my will."

The freezing voice resonated instantly throughout the entirety of the Endless Sea.

Under this oppressive Cultivation pressure, the turbulent waves and storms of the sea fell still for a heartbeat.

With the intimidation complete, the Time Master shifted its gaze toward the West Profound Domain.

This time, it had failed to find the rumored pure water essence, nor had it captured the time system strange beast that had been spying.

Nevertheless, a primary goal had been met.

During the recent battle, the Time Master had felt a gaze from the West Profound Domain observing the events.

But that was the extent of it.

A mocking, human-like smirk appeared on its face.

Two centuries ago, that old fossil could still use his momentum to threaten me from a distance.

Now, two hundred years have slipped by, and he has only grown more decrepit.

Since ascending to the Ninth Realm, the Time Master finally grasped why the Martial Emperor was so desperately clinging to life.

It had sensed a level of power far beyond the Ninth Realm.

A completely new stage of existence that transcended immortality itself.

However, that realm appeared to be bound by an incredibly formidable shackle.

Neither those in the Martial Domain Realm nor those at the immortal levels could break through it.

One day, these chains would surely be shattered.

But when that day might arrive, the Time Master could not predict.

The Martial Emperor was simply waiting for those shackles to fail.

A pile of old bones on the brink of the grave, still dreaming of a realm beyond the Martial Domain?

Then I shall wake you up!

I have the luxury of time, but you are out of it!

"The creatures of the Endless Sea have been broken and made obedient; our rear is now secure." The Time Master slowly looked over the immortals following it, "Deliver my command..."

"Assemble the legions and mobilize!"

"In fifteen days, we shall seize the West Profound Domain!"

"As you command!" The faces of the immortals glowed with a zealous fervor.

The West Profound Domain!

As the closest major domain to the Southern Wilderness Domain, it had played a lead role in the slaughter of strange beasts in the past. It was the inheritance land of the Martial Emperor, making it the perfect first target for the strange beasts' vengeance.

...

"Ka---"

A sharp, violent spatial crack echoed above the Immortal Phoenix Sect.

Inside the Sect Master Hall, Ji Qinghuan stared at the figure before her. Its aura was so depleted it seemed on the verge of falling out of the immortal realm. Her eyes narrowed as she rushed to its side.

"Rong Zun?!"

Surges of immortal Qi erupted throughout the hall, heavy with tension and fury.

The gathered experts looked at the mangled Rong Zun with worry, their faces filled with helplessness.

They could not recall a time when Rong Zun, the pillar of the Immortal Phoenix Sect, had ever been this badly beaten.

Had it not gone to the Endless Sea to locate Lin Su?

How could things have turned out like this?

What could have possibly happened?

At this moment, Ji Qinghuan and the other Sect immortals looked on with unprecedented seriousness.

"Hah..." Rong Zun let out a ragged breath and whispered weakly, "Do not fret. I am badly hurt, but I will not perish yet."

"I found where Lin Su is."

"However, I was unable to bring him back with me."

Rong Zun hesitated for a second, watching Ji Qinghuan’s expression shift. "He should be out of danger, though. He has made his way to the West Profound Domain."

"His life lamp remains burning and stable," Ji Qinghuan noted with a small nod.

Knowing her disciple's location caused her anxiety for Lin Su to subside slightly.

If he was in the West Profound Domain, he would surely find a path home; she would leave him be for now.

The most pressing concern was right here.

"Rong Zun, who was it that dealt you such a blow?"

The other immortals leaned in, their eyes fixed on Rong Zun.

One had to remember that before departing the Immortal Phoenix Sect, Rong Zun had already reached the Eighth Realm and stabilized its foundation.

With its mastery over the space system, it was considered powerful even among those of the same rank.

Yet here it was, so broken it was nearly stripped of its immortality.

For an immortal, this was equivalent to being on the verge of death.

Who was the adversary, and exactly how powerful were they?
