Chapter 714: Chapter 410: Medicinal Materials Nurtured for Two Hundred Years!

The temple shattered!

The fierce tiger roared toward the heavens!

Under the Five Mountains Dragon Capture, it was suppressed!

Rumble!!!

Bodies collided, mana clashed, creating massive shockwaves that erupted in an instant!

Countless buildings were reduced to rubble in mere moments!

A thousand Chang Ghosts and vengeful souls dissipated completely in this instant!

Meanwhile, the Little White Ape had already let out a loud roar and was sprinting madly away the moment the master made his move.

The Cloud Stepping Colt, alerted by the Little White Ape’s warning, dared not delay and immediately fled for its life.

But before it could escape the boundaries of the Mountain King Manor, it was swept up by a torrent of wind mixed with countless debris and flung far away.

Its survival owed itself to its considerable cultivation and the deliberate protection of the Saint Master’s Inner Realm.

Getting back on its feet, it turned to look, only to see the entire Mountain King Manor reduced to ruins by that single strike.

"So fierce?"

The Cloud Stepping Colt shuddered inwardly.

In its understanding, there should have been room for negotiation.

By logic, both sides ought to probe each other first, to weigh the pros and cons, and engage in a calculated gamble.

At the very least, they should have gauged the odds of victory before acting, shouldn’t they?

Why is it that as soon as they exchanged blows, one side immediately went for the kill?

Even a mere demon horse could grasp the subtleties of high-level negotiations.

Why then was the Saint Master of the Human Clan behaving more recklessly than a wild beast?

"You’re a horse with four legs; you should naturally run fast. How is it you still got swept up in this?"

The Little White Ape folded its wings and descended from the skies, landing atop the Cloud Stepping Colt’s back as it spoke: "That Demon Tiger is no ordinary one. Earlier it wasn’t refining incense; it was trying to condense Ancestor Blood!"

"No wonder it had been stalling before making a move. Only after my master slayed that cursed thing did it begin to speak."

"First, it promised not to oppose the Human Clan anymore and even agreed to owe our master a favor, as if it was eager for us to leave quickly..."

At this, the Little White Ape let out a cold laugh: "Turns out it feared delaying its critical moment of condensing Ancestor Blood."

"Condensing Ancestor Blood? Has it become a Heavenly Demon?"

The Cloud Stepping Colt trembled at hearing those words.

The Little White Ape’s knowledge had grown exceptional by now. It explained: "Condensing Ancestor Blood is merely the first step. To refine it within oneself is to ascend to the sanctum and be titled Heavenly Demon."

"Even that wouldn’t be inferior to the cultivation of our Prince!"

The Cloud Stepping Colt exclaimed in shock: "The Saint Master is ultimately not a Human Martial Saint; how can he win?"

It hesitated with uncertainty, pondering deep down: The Mountain Lord had already set one foot into the realm of the Heavenly Demon.

The Saint Master had acted recklessly in the end!

He ought to have tested the waters first, discerned strengths and weaknesses, then made his move!

If defeated, he could still preserve his life.

Besides, the thousand lives here were already lost, beyond saving.

Securing this Heavenly Demon’s non-hostility toward the Human Clan in the future would have been the best possible outcome!

But with the fight breaking out like this, the façade had been torn apart. This must now end in mutual destruction, with no room for retreat!

"Is the Holy Alliance’s way always to bow and compromise when faced with adversity?"

The Little White Ape picked up on the Cloud Stepping Colt’s thoughts, patted its head, and said: "Keep your eyes wide open and see clearly for yourself how the Saint Master of the Human Clan handles things!"

Boom!!!

Another earth-shaking roar echoed from the direction of Mountain King Manor!

But in the very next moment, it was suppressed once again!

Six-Zhang Golden Body!

Five Mountains Dragon Capture!

This ancient technique of the Old Gods, when executed to the fullest extent, could pull mountains and capture True Dragons!

Though Lin Yan had not reached the level of capturing True Dragons, suppressing a Demon King-tier fierce tiger was far from challenging!

He pressed his single hand against the tiger’s head, pinning it firmly to the ground.

The Mountain Lord channeled its bloodline power, gathering incense from all around, its momentum surging wildly.

Yet Lin Yan quietly activated the Dou Character True Mantra Divine Power, causing his presence to surge, pressing this Demon King so hard it couldn’t raise its head.

Divine Skills! Demon Suppression!

Rumble!!!

The ground sank continuously; even the ruins of Mountain King Manor seemed on the verge of descending into an abyss.

The Mountain Lord’s incense was exhausted.

Lin Yan’s incense was also more than half depleted.

However, the Mountain Lord’s bloodline power was continually consumed in resistance.

Lin Yan, meanwhile, used Qi Eating Divine Power to devour the Mountain Lord’s strength, converting it into Evil Qi to replenish himself.

One rising as the other fell!

The outcome was decided!

"You possess the skill to slay me instantly!"

The Mountain Lord finally resigned, its eyes dull as it muttered deeply: "Why do you not simply strike me down?"

"Earlier, in that exchange with that old fool, it was to let you condense Ancestor Blood and ascend to be a Heavenly Demon."

Maintaining his Six-Zhang Golden Body, Lin Yan kept his hand pressed on the tiger’s head and casually replied: "But after slaying that old fool, I estimated you’d need at least three to five months to become a Heavenly Demon. I cannot wait that long..."

In an even tone, he continued: "As for why I suppress you instead of killing you outright..."

The Mountain Lord felt a stir in its heart.

It heard Lin Yan speak on.

"They say that between life and death lies great terror. No matter the creature, when faced with the brink of death, it will unleash immense potential."

"And you, standing at the threshold of condensing Ancestor Blood, might, under the pressure of life and death, step into Ancestor Blood Sanctum Ascension in one leap."

"It’s a pity I overestimated you."

Lin Yan expressed faint disappointment as he said: "Why couldn’t you take that final step?"

If this Mountain Lord had been able to complete Ancestor Blood Sanctum Ascension tonight, achieving Heavenly Demon status at the level of a Human Martial Saint.

Then it would have granted Lin Yan a tremendous harvest of Evil Qi!

But as of now, even with Lin Yan’s assistance, it still failed to achieve the final breakthrough.

This yet-to-ascend Demon King, once slain, would yield no more Evil Qi than Yu Chenzi.

"..."

The Mountain Lord felt its heart sink slightly.

Across all species, it was customary to approach formidable enemies with extreme caution.

One would only hope their opponent was weaker than themselves.

Who would ever hope their foe would break through during battle and become even stronger?
