Vol 5 Chapter 33: Slaughter Immortal Physique

In the blink of an eye, a year passed.

Lin Jing used acceleration techniques to catalyze the Origin Sources, rapidly nurturing strands of immortal energy. He poured all this immortal energy into cultivating the Pine Leaf Mouse and Dragon Carp.

After consuming vast amounts of immortal energy, the Pine Leaf Mouse and Dragon Carp's improvements exceeded Lin Jing's expectations. Even without deliberate cultivation, after absorbing dozens of immortal energy strands, they had both reached the late-stage Nascent Soul Transformation realm.

The power of the Immortal Realm was indeed far superior to the spiritual energy of the lower realms.

Moreover, practicing their Rare Beast Divine Abilities with immortal energy accelerated their progress significantly. The Pine Leaf Mouse could now use its Glazed Immortal Eye with much greater ease, no longer suffering from eye strain or temporary blindness after material synthesis.

However, Lin Jing believed their most remarkable improvement lay in their bloodlines.

Li Tianyi had been correct—Rare Beasts were semi-immortal entities. The process of strengthening their abilities with immortal energy naturally advanced their bloodlines toward immortal-grade.

Though the Pine Leaf Mouse and Dragon Carp hadn't fully evolved into immortal-blooded creatures yet, their bloodline potency had become terrifyingly strong. The Dragon Carp had evolved to Emperor-grade bloodline, matching the strength of demon emperors who ruled entire regions!

In the entire Tianyuan Realm, creatures with stronger bloodlines than the Dragon Carp could likely be counted on one hand.

The Pine Leaf Mouse, inherently weaker, had reached Quasi-Emperor-grade bloodline—just one step away from Emperor-grade.

This made Lin Jing wonder: if they obtained that once-in-a-millennium supreme Origin Source, could they elevate both creatures to immortal-blooded Celestial Beasts?

His determination to acquire that supreme Origin Source grew stronger, even if it meant confronting Li Tianyi and Sheng Kun.

With surplus immortal energy remaining, Lin Jing remained in seclusion, unaware of recent events—such as more Tianyuan Realm cultivators finally locating Xianlin City.

The Ancient Imperial Prince, the senior sect sister... apart from Cold Moon Sword Immortal remaining in the Nethersoil and the Wu God Hall's Holy Son still missing, most Tianyuan cultivators had gathered here to cultivate.

Thanks to the foundation Lin Jing had established, they received excellent treatment upon entering the city.

The most significant development involved a red-haired madman appearing in the Origin Realm—a killer who slaughtered indiscriminately, targeting Cultivation Alliance members, Heavenly Demon Sect disciples, and rogue cultivators alike.

The Cultivation Alliance had dispatched numerous elites to eliminate him, but all failed. The fortunate ones escaped; the unlucky perished on the spot.

"Slaughter Immortal Physique."

Lin Jing soon learned about this cultivator—affiliated with neither the Heavenly Demon Sect nor the Cultivation Alliance, but possessing an extreme constitution: the Slaughter Immortal Physique!

This physique allowed unlimited cultivation breakthroughs and ability enhancements through killing alone. Given enough victims, one could reach the Seeking the Way realm astonishingly fast.

No one knew his origins or background—only that a millennium ago, he had wreaked havoc in the Origin Realm before suddenly vanishing. Many assumed he'd broken through to the Void Mystical Stage and been expelled from the realm. His reappearance now suggested he'd self-sealed until recently breaking free.

"Alliance strategists speculate he sealed himself for the millennium-cycle supreme Origin Source," came the report. "Such cultivators manipulate their lifespans to remain in the Origin Realm longer by halting cultivation progress."

The Ice Soul Gu tossed aside Yan Yunshuang's request for aid. The Slaughter Immortal Physique's power was insignificant—few in Lin Jing's faction could oppose him. Though Yan sincerely hoped the Ice Soul Gu would intervene, it lacked interest.

"Yan claims Wu God Hall's Holy Son Wuta likely fell to this killer, explaining his absence among the gathered Tianyuan cultivators."

The Ice Soul Gu's relationship with Wuta extended only to some ranking competitions—hardly worth avenging. Still, as fellow natives, if Lady Nethersoil fully submitted someday, perhaps resurrection could be arranged.

"Just reject Yan." The Ice Soul Gu had no interest in the Slaughter Immortal Physique and planned to continue seclusion. However, it knew someone who would be very interested—the demonic incarnation, Mo Yu.

Before the Ice Soul Gu's breakthrough, Mo Yu had been searching for suitable possession targets. The Slaughter Immortal Physique seemed perfect.

This constitution allegedly developed extraordinarily powerful inner demons during ascension due to excessive killing—its sole weakness. Yet for demonic cultivators, inner demons were ideal nourishment for Heavenly Demon Finger cultivation.

Possessing this body could elevate Mo Yu's Heavenly Demon Finger mastery, potentially achieving dual-armed form—not the eight-armed state of Demon Emperor Tianchou, but still significant progress.

"Though if the rumors of the Slaughter Immortal Physique's power are true, possession might fail," Lin Jing worried—until an urgent message arrived from the Ice Soul Gu.

[Emergency! Cracks appeared in the crystal sealing the Limitless Immortal Physique—the one gifted by the Demon Sect's Sacred Son!]

"Seal!"

At Dragon Spine Snow Mountain—now occupied by the incarnated Mo Yu and Ice Soul Gu—everything had proceeded smoothly except one development: the Limitless Immortal Physique's seal had weakened, disrupting Mo Yu's hunt for the Slaughter Immortal Physique.

Though Mo Yu hastily reinforced the seal, his inferior sealing skills allowed a wisp of the Limitless Immortal Physique's consciousness to escape.

"Demon! Release me! Possessing me benefits you nothing—my master will destroy you outside!"

"Did you struggle so hard just to say this?" Mo Yu remained unmoved, continuing reinforcement. The sealed physique likely sensed its separation from Sheng Kun, hence the resistance.

"Heh... You truly believe Sheng Kun gave me to you out of kindness?... Do you know she schemes against you? That despite being the Demon Sect's male Sacred Son, her original form was female...?"
