Beast Taming Patrol Chapter 1545: 430: The Peril of the Immortal Phoenix Sect
Previously on Beast Taming Patrol...
“Then convey this message to the leader of the Beast Taming lineage.”
“I am not a saint; I have my selfish desires.”
“I rose from the Martial Dao lineage, so naturally, I must let the Martial Dao lineage flourish.”
With those words spoken, the Martial Emperor's aura gradually pulled back, though his intense stare remained fixed for a while longer.
Lin Su hovered in the emptiness, pausing briefly before offering a deep bow to the Martial Emperor in quiet respect.
“This bow honors your protection of the human heart.”
“But the Beast Taming lineage will not simply wait for ruin to come.”
After delivering that, Lin Su wasted no more time and pivoted to venture into the Endless Sea.
The Martial Emperor observed as Lin Su's form faded into the distance, then finally drew his eyes away.
Inside the Emperor Martial Palace, he turned his steady gaze toward the thirteen Martial Domain Realm experts standing there, declaring, “You must all strive to achieve a breakthrough as well!”
“I sense that a fierce conflict looms ahead.”
“Yes!” Excitement blazed in the eyes of the thirteen Martial Domain Realm powerhouses.
Their founder stood on the verge of ascending to the Martial God Realm, surpassing the Martial Domain Realm!
A fresh era of power was on the cusp of revealing itself to them!
…
“Boom, crack!”
A thunderous blast followed the breaking noise, as an immense explosion ripped through the air, shattering the grand protective array surrounding the Immortal Phoenix Sect under the overwhelming assault.
Qi Xuandao pulled back his extended palm leisurely, clasping it behind his back alongside the other, while his expansive Martial Domain morphed into a sweeping whisk; streams of black and white energies soared upward, crafting a destructive millstone that obliterated everything in its wake.
Just behind him, a horde of Hunyuan Taoist Sect disciples and experts clad in shadowy robes arranged themselves into multiple arrays, their fearsome attacks ready to unleash devastation.
At his side, the mighty leaders from the Miao Shou Yun Sect, Hidden Sword Valley, and Blood Sea Tower floated mid-air, their presences erupting fully to generate crushing waves of intimidation bearing down on the Immortal Phoenix Sect.
“Have you all truly united for this…?” Ji Qinghuan, directing the Immortal Phoenix Sect followers in a defensive array, had a piercing chill gleaming in her phoenix-like eyes, glaring with deadly intent at the quartet of factions.
“Sister, you realize I hesitate to act, yet the Beast Taming lineage expands relentlessly, and our Martial Dao lineage can't just await annihilation.” The Miao Shou Yun Sect Master, Yu Yao, chuckled lightly, “Given the stir you've caused, this outcome was inevitable.”
“Today, the Immortal Phoenix Sect vanishes from the Eastern Extreme Domain!” Hidden Sword Valley Master Liu Cangming stated with composed finality.
“Kill!” Blood Sea Tower Master Ji Wupo uttered sharply.
“Do you believe you've cornered the Immortal Phoenix Sect?” The fury in Ji Qinghuan’s gaze boiled over at their declarations.
Feng Venerable, Tree Venerable, and Spirit Master fused into her form without delay, as radiant golden Cooperation Light blazed across the skies. Ji Qinghuan's strength exploded to a horrifying, unparalleled peak.
Ji Qinghuan had grown far more formidable?!
Sensing the intensified might radiating from Ji Qinghuan—surpassing even her display in the Star Plucking Battle—the heads of the four sects all paled in unison.
“Fortune favors us for moving swiftly; had we postponed a few years longer…” A icy glint sparked in Qi Xuandao’s eyes, and instantly, he bellowed, “Hunyuan Taoist Sect, activate the formation!”
Amid a chorus of cries, immense energy flooded from the myriad arrays at his rear, channeling straight into Qi Xuandao’s frame.
Propelled by unstoppable force, Qi Xuandao, enveloped in his colossal Martial Domain, lunged straight at Ji Qinghuan.
Ji Qinghuan's triune surge outmatched even Qi Xuandao, fresh from his Nine Heavens breakthrough.
Yet the Hunyuan Taoist Sect's array held arcane secrets, yielding strange boons that funneled the sect's collective might into a single warrior, balancing the scales between them.
Their clash rattled the firmament, but even such ferocity failed to swiftly overwhelm Ji Qinghuan, igniting a surge of fury and astonishment in Qi Xuandao’s stare.
“Three companions, why hold back?!”
Yu Yao, Liu Cangming, and Ji Wupo shared a quick look, then roared together.
“Assault!”
The instant after, three Martial Domains unfurled rapidly across the expanse, their primordial forces churning the heavens and earth into turmoil!
Of the trio, Yu Yao and Ji Wupo commanded Seventh Heaven prowess, whereas Liu Cangming had advanced to the Eighth Heaven!
As they launched their strikes, the followers of the three sects along with their elites sprang into motion too, deploying diverse techniques to hammer at the Immortal Phoenix Sect's lines!
“You'll face us!”
Huan Venerate bellowed, unleashing a torrent of nine-hued splendor laced with horrifying lethal intent, clashing head-on in a flash with Liu Cangming, the mightiest of the invaders.
Kun Venerate's eyes fluttered open gradually, summoning a colossal realm of dreams that crashed down abruptly, slamming against Ji Wupo’s blood-sea Martial Domain.
With a wail that pierced souls, a massive beast— one-eyed with a canine torso, pitch-black and immense—materialized slowly from the depths of every heart, as though dwelling within, its dread power surging forth to engulf Yu Yao!
That was Di Zun, whose authentic shape even Lin Su remained unaware of!
A barrage of terrifying detonations echoed as the Immortal Phoenix Sect's three premier Seventh Realm guardians confronted the three sect leaders with unyielding resolve!
The remaining immortals surged forward as well, targeting the core strongholds of each invading group.
In contrast to the Immortal Phoenix Sect, martial sects usually concealed a handful of Martial Domain Realm experts within their ranks beyond the sect masters themselves.
These hidden pillars stayed veiled from the world, but now, with the four martial sects arriving bent on total annihilation, they emerged into the fray one by one.
Apart from the four sect leaders, seven additional Martial Domain Realm powerhouses revealed themselves!
Ultimately, fending off the united fury of four sects single-handedly left the Immortal Phoenix Sect short on elite fighters.
In the skies, Banyan Venerable's silhouette materialized gradually, its features twisted in rage.
Its vitality hadn't regained much ground, rendering it incapable of battling just yet.
Thankfully, the Immortal Phoenix Sect harbored one more surprise!
“Come back!”
At Banyan Venerable’s crisp command, the void warped violently, and two colossal horrors, each spanning tens of thousands of meters like they had been poised in wait, burst through the rift successively, barreling toward the Martial Domain Realm foes.
They were Dragon Venerate and Turtle Venerable, who had departed the Immortal Phoenix Sect two centuries prior and vanished from all knowledge since!
Two Seventh Realm venerables, making their triumphant return!!!
Witnessing this, Qi Xuandao sneered coldly, “Precisely as anticipated.”
“Wonder why only two arrived?”
“What?!” Ji Qinghuan’s eyes narrowed sharply.
From the trio of venerables who had ventured out long ago, Deer Venerate had fallen utterly silent, beyond reach.
In this crisis, she managed to summon just these two for the fight.
What scheme did Qi Xuandao hint at?!
Qi Xuandao grinned with malice, shoving Ji Qinghuan away abruptly before producing a Jade Talisman and shattering it with force, “Invoke the master's aid!”
Ji Qinghuan’s face drained of color in shock.
Qi Xuandao’s master?
The past Sect Master of the Hunyuan Taoist Sect?
A legend from over a millennium past!
Suddenly, a cataclysmic wave of primordial energy erupted from the Hunyuan Taoist Sect's vicinity.
It manifested as a coffin brimming with potent Life Aura, forged from some eternal substance attuned to life's mysteries.
As that coffin's essence washed over the Immortal Phoenix Sect, every immortal's gaze ignited with crimson fury!
That essence belonged to Deer Venerate!
Upon beholding the ancient figure clawing free from the coffin hewn from Deer Venerate’s own remains—sustained through the ages by the boundless Life Aura—the Immortal Phoenix Sect's loathing peaked in a blaze.
“Die!!!”
Ji Qinghuan’s eyes blazed with unmatched murderous rage, propelling her savagely at the elder boasting Martial Domain Eighth Heaven might.
“Face me instead!” Qi Xuandao boomed with laughter, blocking her path, his expression dripping with playful cruelty like a predator toying with prey.
The Martial Domain Eighth Heaven elder, his aura rocketing heavenward, gleamed with sharp awareness in his once-dulled gaze, lunged at the newly arrived Dragon Venerate and Turtle Venerate, dominating the two-on-one exchange.
The tide swung back sharply in favor of the four martial sects!
Within mere heartbeats, the Immortal Phoenix Sect's grounds, now the epicenter of war, reeled from devastating shockwaves, with myriad nations nearby ravaged in the crossfire, and even the sect's very foundation trembling amid the intensifying chaos.
In this dire instant, a thundering roar infused with immense divine might blanketed the entire field at once.
“You dare!!!”
