Beast Tamer Ascension
Chapter 60: Birth of the Monkey King

Chapter 60: Birth of the Monkey King

"Didn't you already form twin False Cores?" Lin Jing asked. "Doesn't matter if you can beat him or not—just throw a hit and come down."

"Forget it, forget it," Ouyang Hao forced a bitter smile and muttered without confidence, "The cultivation gap is too big, our bloodlines are too far apart, and more importantly, the opponent's a water attribute—it counters my Solar False Core Technique."

"I'm not going up there just to deliver him power. Captain, it's all you."

"Yeah, Captain, you go." The Black Bull and the other beasts chimed in. They had no interest in fighting that monster. Even with the Solar False Core Technique, they were sure they'd be instantly crushed!

To them, it was best to let Lin Jing or the Iron-Eating Beast—monsters on that same level—go fight the Dragon Turtle. Ideally, they'd wipe each other out, so the rest could finally shine.

Lin Jing was speechless. He was helping Senior Brother Ouyang earn merit here. Even if he put in just a sliver of effort, it'd still count. But if he stepped up, there wouldn't be anything left for anyone else.

"If you're not going, then I will," Lin Jing shook his head and stepped onto the platform.

The moment he moved, the Kirin Clan’s patriarch and elders, the two other Holy Maidens, and their followers all sharpened their gazes.

The Fire Dragon Alchemist...

The Third Holy Maiden actually let this guy enter the stage this early?

In their opinion, the smartest move would’ve been to have the Fire Dragon Alchemist wait. What if the Fire Kirin walked out of the ancestral land soon?

Letting him go now was far from wise.

"Late Foundation Establishment..." The Dragon Turtle, E'Gu, glanced at Lin Jing with disdain, curling its lips. "Beast Tamer under the Third Holy Maiden, your presence here means you’ve got more pet beasts to show off, huh?"

"That's right." Lin Jing chuckled.

"If it’s the Fire Kirin, I might hesitate a bit, but anything else..." Like most dragons, E'Gu was arrogant beyond belief.

But then...

Shatter.

Boom...

A sound like war drums echoed across the arena.

Lin Jing stood on the platform, and beside him, a massive giant ape—white-haired and barefoot, as tall as a small mountain—stepped forward. Its appearance stunned the entire audience, as a terrifying bloodline pressure rippled outward.

The Dragon Turtle E'Gu immediately felt the suppression of that ape’s bloodline!

"Ancestor bloodline?! Are you f***ing kidding me—Ancestor-tier?!?!" It exclaimed in shock.

Not just it—even the First and Second Holy Maidens shot up from their seats, unable to believe Lin Jing had summoned a beast with an Ancestor-tier bloodline.

That’s a bloodline with the potential to become a true Demon Ancestor!

Every beast present was stunned. Even the Kirin Clan’s elites were utterly dumbfounded.

They had thought the Fire Kirin was the Fire Dragon Alchemist’s strongest pet—who would’ve guessed he had a beast with Ancestor bloodline hidden up his sleeve?!

"An ancient relic species—Zhuyan," one of the Kirin Clan’s experts recognized the beast.

"How can a Zhuyan still exist in this era?" The First and Second Holy Maidens couldn’t understand.

This Zhuyan exuded Demon Core Stage cultivation and Ancestor-level bloodline pressure. The aura of killing intent was overwhelming—there was no difference between it and a real living being.

Only Xu Qingyao knew that this Zhuyan, Qi Rong, was an illusion formed through inverse void arts.

However, due to the illusion's excessive realism, it was nearly impossible to distinguish it from the real Qi Rong.

To everyone else, it looked exactly like Lin Jing had summoned a true Dragon Turtle cub!

The Sparrowfeather squad stared blankly at the Zhuyan, fingers trembling.

"I-It-It-It..."

Just what kind of monster had Her Highness brought back? Even beasts with Ancestor bloodlines could be summoned?!

No wonder she didn’t care for that Longevity Body Lin Jing!

"Smash!" Lin Jing ordered.

In the next instant, Zhuyan’s massive fist came crashing down on the Dragon Turtle.

Boom!—the Dragon Turtle's prison script shattered. The beast art broke, and with a loud crack, its shell split with visible fractures...

Dragon Turtle E'Gu was horrified, its heart pounding.

On the deathly still arena, it suddenly erupted with immense seismic force, knocking the mountain-sized Zhuyan back.

But then, the cracks and wounds across its body began to rapidly heal.

Huff... huff...

As it panted nervously, it suddenly started laughing.

"Hahaha!" Dragon Turtle E'Gu let out a breath of relief. The bloodline aura of the Zhuyan had truly startled it, but after exchanging blows and confirming the opponent couldn’t one-shot or seriously injure it, E'Gu knew—victory was still his.

"Sure, that bloodline’s insane—but your realm’s too low."

Boom!

Zhuyan came smashing down again. But the Dragon Turtle, who had cultivated the Undying Indestructible Sutra, had insane defense and recovery. No matter how hard Zhuyan suppressed him, it couldn’t land a critical hit.

“Demon Core Divine Ability—” Unwilling to stay on the back foot, the Dragon Turtle activated its core technique.

Though this would wear down its Demon Core, with its status, getting medicine to repair it was trivial.

This was a defensive-type Demon Core Divine Ability—once activated, its shell became like the Nine Heavens.

Zhuyan’s next punch landed... and not only did the Dragon Turtle remain unscathed, but a crunching sound came from Zhuyan’s own fist.

“Seems E'Gu still has the upper hand...”

The Kirin Clan experts, though shocked by Zhuyan’s presence, could clearly see that the gap in cultivation realms wasn’t so easy to overcome.

“Can this really work...” Xu Qingyao grew worried. After all, Zhuyan was still a fake... If it were the real body, maybe there’d be a fighting chance.

Did Lin Jing misjudge the power difference?

But as she watched, Lin Jing wasn’t panicking.

“Not bad at all,” Lin Jing muttered. This Dragon Turtle was tougher than he’d expected...

He cast a reassuring glance at his senior sister, then turned his attention back to the increasingly arrogant Dragon Turtle.

“In that case, let’s use a Demon Core Divine Ability too.”

Of course, the Zhuyan illusion had no actual core technique—but this wasn’t its peak illusion form either.

By disguising a Spell Spirit Origin Form as a core ability, he could strengthen the illusion!

The earlier illusion hadn’t even been empowered by a spirit origin yet!

“Transform. I’m allowing you to go all out.”

“ROAR!!!”

As Lin Jing gave the command, the Zhuyan illusion—recently knocked away—flashed a crimson light in its eyes.

Its entire body was suddenly engulfed in a strange flame.

With a mighty roar, its body began shrinking rapidly.

Within the illusion, a heart that looked like a pulsing mushroom throbbed—thump, thump!

Lin Jing began using a Spell Spirit Origin to massively amplify and refine the illusion!

At the same time, Lin Jing’s mana was being consumed at a rate several times faster than before.

Fortunately, his mana was vast thanks to his Qi Refinement 13-Layer Foundation Technique—and he had other beasts acting as backup energy sources...

The Pine Leaf Mouse, helplessly, handed over all its mana to its Beast Tamer.

As the flames dissipated, a brand-new Zhuyan image floated in the air.

It was no longer a white-haired giant ape, but a monkey of ordinary size...

Yet, this new form drew even more complex reactions from the crowd.

Though its body had shrunk considerably, this monkey wore gleaming golden armor, a brilliant crown on its head, cloud-walking shoes on its feet, and a red ribbon fluttering in the wind. In its hands was a heavy iron staff.

Though its cultivation and bloodline pressure were the same as before—its aura now felt far more terrifying.

“That’s Zhuyan?” The Kirin experts were baffled!

Ruyi Jingu Bang, Phoenix-Winged Golden Crown, Locking Golden Armor, Lotus Silk Cloud-Walking Boots...

Lin Jing stroked his chin. Ever since he learned illusion techniques, he'd always wanted to perfect this form. Unfortunately, it had never quite worked out—

But now, with his ability to perfectly replicate Zhuyan, and using its image as the foundation and a Spell Spirit Origin as the core,

he’d finally achieved something close to success, hadn’t he?

This form—this was what he meant by going all out when he talked to his senior sister!

“So this is its Demon Core Divine Ability? Summoning a few magic treasures? And you think that’s enough to beat me?”

The Dragon Turtle, though feeling a tinge of unease, still gritted its teeth and charged in.

It conjured a celestial prison with its bloodline power, aiming to suppress the enemy.

“Heh heh!!”

But in the face of this prison spell, the monkey still wore a cocky, devil-may-care grin, like it didn’t even take it seriously.

Its Fiery Eyes of Truth flared.

The Dragon Turtle was instantly shaken—it felt as if it had fallen into an illusion, witnessing terrifying scenes beyond imagination.

Layered Illusion!

The ancient Eastern Sea Dragon Palace descended into chaos before its eyes, the ancient supreme Immortal Palace trembled and collapsed—

That monkey swung its iron staff, and the celestial prison shattered on the spot...

Affected by the illusion, the Dragon Turtle’s spirit wavered.

Its demonic power went into disarray, and even its body-protecting divine ability began to unravel.

“Big-talking little turtle, you’ve got some nerve. Take my first, second, and third strikes!”

The monkey morphed into a three-headed, six-armed form, swinging multiple iron staffs down at once.

Boom!

The Dragon Turtle’s shell was shattered into pieces.

Blood and flesh flew as it was smashed deep into the ground with a single blow, its vision going dark.

“You...” What kind of deity are you...?

Then, the monkey returned to its regular form, casually twirling its staff before pointing it at the stunned First and Second Holy Maidens and their followers.

“I didn’t even use any strength and he already went down. How about you all come at me together?”

Lin Jing, still controlling it, started talking sh*t.
