Beast Taming Patrol Chapter 1584 - 442: Where Is Lin Su?
Previously on Beast Taming Patrol...
I ponder if this fellow could be devoured whole.
"And me too!"
Step by step, a silhouette enveloped in a brilliant blaze of flames approached from an endless expanse.
Clutched firmly in its grasp was a lengthy spear, its tip trailing a vivid streak of flames that tore through the emptiness with every scorch. A mere trace of its fearsome might leaked out, sufficient to etch grave looks on the faces of every legendary entity gathered there.
At last, bearing the spear, it advanced steadily beside the trio of legendary beings ahead. With a swift twirl of the spear's flourish, the blade now aimed squarely at the horrifying colossal snake hovering in the void, boasting nine savage heads while its form brimmed with devastating energy.
"I am You Venerate, wielder of the Path of Shattering." Youyou declared steadily, her mismatched eyes harboring a sharp murderous vibe deep in their lucid gaze.
Path of Destruction?
This path appears perfect for me, fresh from ascending to the mythical rank, to test my skills a little.
"Include me in this clash!"
A tone laced with fierce fighting spirit boomed abruptly across the emptiness.
Even before the speaker showed up, five stars radiating varied lights, each spanning a colossal width of hundreds of thousands of meters, plummeted onto the King of Life below like a heavenly mandate!
The King of Life promptly raised a canopy of branches stretching over the skies and lands, as radiant emerald glows wove into a fragile-looking but unbreakable barrier of radiance, rapidly encasing and shielding it inside.
With a thunderous boom that shook the realms, the green radiance's shield crumbled apart in successive layers, while the King of Life's energy wavered wildly, its gaze burning with fury toward the newcomer in the arena.
There stood a form pulsing with dreadful battle prowess, wielding a Magic Wand brimming with infinite might.
Five fresh stars gradually amassed at the wand's tip, while an arcane, profound energy kept flowing steadily toward Rong Venerate.
Thanks to that force's effect, Rong Venerate's damaged roots mended at an astonishing pace, and even its main body along with the myriad leaves hiding small realms started slowly regenerating.
Witnessing this, the rage in the King of Life's eyes paused, shifting to an all-time grave intensity.
It commands the Path of Life, but pulling off something like this is beyond its reach.
"I am Yin Venerate, master of the Path of Retrospection." After swiftly healing Rong Venerate back to full strength, Tata, mimicking Youyou, aimed its Magic Wand toward the King of Life.
"And me as well."
A serene but chilly tone echoed through the void.
A figure in azure blue materialized, radiating lethal intent as it gradually stepped forth from the nothingness.
The instant it emerged, it felt like it stirred within the souls of every follower who revered it.
Sensing the summons and longing from countless lives, countless symbols twisted around its frame, lending it an aura of even greater holiness.
"I am Lan Venerate, protector deity of ocean beings." Lanlan fixed its stare on the King of the Sea, manifesting as a massive surge in the void, "On behalf of every life in the Endless Sea, I declare your death sentence!"
King of the Sea.
The sole mythical rank serving the Time Master, not based in the Southern Desolation Domain but dwelling in the Endless Sea.
Born as a water essence in the Endless Sea, it turned traitor against the whole ocean realm, aligning with the Time Master and leveraging its familiarity with the Endless Sea to rank as the cruelest among the seven kings under the Time Master in tormenting the sea's inhabitants.
Over half the torment faced by Endless Sea creatures in the last century stems from the King of the Sea.
Being a mythical rank on the Path of Faith, Lanlan must honor the desires of its believers and carry out justice against the foe.
"Pure Water Spirit..." The King of the Sea reshaped itself into a human-like form amid the void, its eyes churning with deadly resolve, "I've awaited this showdown eagerly for ages!"
Amid the void, as it observed the arriving petite beings one by one, a surge of unmatched thrill ignited in the eyes of the mended Rong Venerate.
Six mythical ranks!
How exactly did Lin Su enable his companions to attain this level so swiftly?
Rong Venerate couldn't suppress this curiosity, though it decided to shelve the matter for now.
Its sight shifted to the King of Space and the King of Nightmare, their faces twisted in utter dismay, as a blazing murderous light flickered in its own gaze.
With the six already picking their foes...
"These two mythical ranks will go to..."
Rong Venerate started to say, only for a soft voice to cut it off right then.
"Leave that Path of Nightmare fellow to me."
While uttering those words, Xie Venerate sauntered forward from the distance, glancing around the vast skies with wonder, like it was beholding this realm's vistas anew.
Moving at an easy pace, it soon stood before the King of Nightmare, its vast presence erupting skyward, prompting every mythical rank on site to pale dramatically.
"You're... no recent mythical rank entrant!"
The Time Master's expression turned gravely stern like never before.
Through its senses, the entity before it neared the mythical rank's subsequent minor advancement.
Could a mythical rank's minor breakthrough truly come so effortlessly?
Even for one as supremely talented as itself, no answers surfaced now.
Just how had this one climbed to such heights?!
"That's correct." Xie Venerate replied evenly, a touch of nostalgia crossing its features, "Eight hundred years past."
Eight hundred years ago?!
Shock rippled through all the mythical ranks there, including Rong Venerate from the allied side.
Yet Xie Venerate showed no desire to elaborate. Its gaze, piercing as if reading minds, unleashed a torrent of Spiritual Power that swiftly wrapped around the King of Nightmare.
"It's been ages since I last fought; this skirmish ought to prove thrilling."
Noting this fresh mythical arrival selecting its target, Rong Venerate directed its focus to the sole leftover King of Space.
Apparently, this adversary falls to it.
Rong Venerate darted forth and positioned itself facing the King of Space, its eyes blazing anew with powerful combat fervor.
Earlier, this one proved the fiercest; now it would learn true might!
Yet prior to engaging...
Rong Venerate voiced its lingering question, "Where's Lin Su?"
With all six petite beings ascending to mythical rank, it meant Lin Su had attained mythical Beast Tamer status.
Where could he be?
Why had the Beast Tamer Lin Su failed to show for this crucial showdown?
Lin Su...
At Rong Venerate's question, the six petite beings displayed odd looks.
Memories flooded back of returning alongside Lin Su.
Right when Lin Su unlocked the sixth contract slot, connection with the six petite beings severed entirely.
Freed from bonds and elevated to mythical rank, the six petite beings materialized straight in the Immortal Phoenix Sect, where Lin Su lay in profound slumber.
Beside Lin Su's resting spot, just his garments and the prior Token for linking with Rong Venerate lingered.
It was as though Lin Su had dissolved into nothing.
Without the six petite beings sensing Lin Su via the Guardian Beast Contract, they might have believed him gone forever.
Given the pressing crisis, the six petite beings wasted no time, rallying Xie Venerate post-breakthrough to rush to aid.
"We have no idea about Lin Su's location either," Qiuqiu stated with resignation, then refocused on the Time Master, "We should prioritize the fight before us."
From first learning of the foe's being, to witnessing its ascension in eternal recollections, to their initial clash across rebirth cycles, to repeatedly sensing the rival through Time Prophecy visions.
Though never facing off in the flesh, in Qiuqiu's mind, this war had raged across endless eras.
The remaining five petite beings turned their eyes to their chosen adversaries in unison.
No spars had occurred among them at emperor or immortal levels.
Every anticipation built toward this day.
"May the final spar among us go to the one who topples their foe quickest!"
