Vol 4 Chapter 58: Not Playing With You Anymore!

"Deliver two strikes to the Poseidon Palace and Misty Forest..."

As Lin Jing said this, it wasn’t just the Sky-Splitting Sword Ancestor who was worried he might damage the Celestial Sword—even outside the continent, the Yin-Yang Whale Emperor of Poseidon Palace and the Forest Sea Dragon Emperor of Misty Forest were both startled.

"Sh*t, this brat..."

"Is he full and bored or what? Instead of continuing to hunt down the Emperor, why is he coming at us with two sword strikes?"

"What did we do to provoke him?"

Granted, they were both Dao-Seeking Demon Emperors, but nobody wanted to get slashed by a Celestial Sword for no reason.

The Martial Emperor himself wasn’t top-tier in terms of cultivation or combat strength, but with the Celestial Artifact that was Martial Emperor City, he instantly became one of the continent’s peak Dao-Seekers.

And that city was a defensive-type Celestial Artifact.

But the Celestial Sword of the Heavenly Sword Gate was a different story—it was an offensive-type Celestial Artifact, its power clearly far beyond that of Martial Emperor City.

So the Yin-Yang Whale Emperor and the Forest Sea Dragon Emperor wanted nothing to do with Lin Jing, this mad dog.

It wasn’t out of fear—it was just unnecessary. They had no grudge with him.

Even if they could take two strikes, what was the point? For a Dao-Seeking Demon Emperor to spar with a mere Core Formation brat, no matter the outcome, they’d end up looking ridiculous.

Not to mention, the Demon Emperor of the Demon Court was present—there was no way they could actually harm the Holy Son of the Demon Court.

And if they didn’t show up, then inside the Poseidon Palace and Misty Forest, there wouldn’t be any demon beasts capable of surviving a strike from a Celestial Artifact.

Even a Void Mystical Demon Ancestor would die.

"Demon Court Lord, this is your fault for coming up with this stupid idea—getting us to go along with your act. Now look what’s happening. You’d better fix this."

"Yeah, tell your Holy Son to stop showing off. Wielding a Celestial Artifact like that must cost him dearly—he might drop dead young at this rate."

"This is pointless. We’re not playing with you anymore." The Yin-Yang Whale Emperor and the Forest Sea Dragon Emperor urged the Demon Emperor of the Demon Court, making it clear they didn’t want to continue with this so-called training scenario.

D*mn it—other Dao-Seekers design their trial scenarios to pressure their own prodigies. But you? You're putting pressure on us.

"Ah, this... this..." At this moment, the Lord of the Demon Court also realized she might’ve screwed up. From the beginning, nothing had gone according to her script. freewebnoveℓ.com

She had intended for Lin Jing to awaken the Heavenly Demon Physique under pressure... but after investigating, it seemed that he had already awakened it before the script even started.

She figured they could just muddle through the trial to fire up some competition between Lin Jing and Xu Qingyao—but who knew that in the blink of an eye, Lin Jing would be riding a Celestial Artifact, threatening to strike the heartlands of two Dao-Seeking forces and scaring the hell out of everyone.

"This brat, why is he so hard to manage? Can’t he just follow the script for once!" The Demon Emperor gritted her fangs, then let out a long sigh.

Meanwhile.

Lin Jing, ignoring the Sky-Splitting Sword Ancestor’s attempt to stop him, continued riding the Celestial Sword toward Qingzhou—he was in a hurry.

This trip to Qingzhou wasn’t just to intimidate the two Demon Emperor factions—he also had to find the Demon Court’s own Celestial Artifact and take control of it.

That way, before the Demon Emperor fully recovered, he—who could burn lifespan to activate a Celestial Artifact—would still have the means to keep suppressing his enemies.

............

Qingzhou—territory of the Demon Court Holy Son, at Immortal Prison Mountain.

To pressure the Demon Court and force them to hand over the Transformation Technique, Lin Jing’s base had naturally become the prime target for Poseidon Palace and Misty Forest to encircle.

Two Void Mystical Demon Ancestors were stationed around Immortal Prison Mountain, unleashing pressure.

Though they hadn’t launched an attack, their presence still heavily impacted Lin Jing’s faction.

For instance, the mosquito beast army led by the Mosquito Woman hadn’t gone out hunting in a long time—trapped inside Immortal Prison Mountain and unable to move.

But these two Void Mystical Demon Ancestors also didn’t intend to escalate further—firstly, because Lin Jing was in the Western Desert and not present here, and secondly, because a Void Mystical-level demon power fluctuation was coming from within the mountain...

Since the main target wasn’t around, there was no way the Ancestors from Poseidon Palace and Misty Forest would randomly start a fight with another Void Mystical entity inside—not worth it. There weren’t even any treasures here.

Inside Immortal Prison Mountain.

The Grand Elder Huan Li of Thousand Illusions Mountain was living in constant anxiety. Thankfully, the Beast Taming Sect’s Void Mystical Tree Ancestor was here—otherwise, she wouldn’t know how to help Lin Jing protect his home.

"Captain, if this keeps up... we might not reach the minimum capture quota set by His Highness the Holy Son..." The Mosquito Woman was also deeply worried and turned to Gu Qianqiu, captain of the Demon-Hunting Squad.

"Senior Tree Ancestor, maybe the two of us should just eliminate those two Demon Ancestors outside?" Gu Qianqiu looked up at the towering tree atop the mountain.

"Thanks to your help, I’ve now broken through to the Nascent Soul Stage and gained a much longer lifespan. Combined with the Heavenly Demon Physique, stepping into the Void Mystical realm is much easier... with your power, we might not lose to those two outside."

"Nope, not fighting." Senior Mo Pine replied with an annoyed tone, "What’s the point? They haven’t even attacked yet."

"Sigh, I was hoping to go out for a bit. What the hell is this mess..."

"Relax, those two out there have no intention of fighting. Since that’s the case, just wait—there’ll be a turning point."

"I don’t buy it. With such a huge threat from the Demonic Sky Realm, and these guys still have time for internal strife? Are they nuts? As long as the Dao-Seekers of the Tianyuan Realm aren’t idiots, uniting against a common enemy and leveraging the Golden Era to develop peacefully is the only sane strategy!!!"

"Senior, what do you mean?" Gu Qianqiu didn’t get it.

Mo Pine spoke slowly and wisely, "From my experience, these people just love stirring up trouble when they’ve got nothing better to do. This whole situation could very well be orchestrated by those Dao-Seekers—just to put some pressure on the next generation and give them a chance to gain experience.

If I were in their shoes, I’d probably do the same thing!"

"You saw the Fortune Gold List—Lin Jing is already up to rank six. A Core Formation cultivator fighting Nascent Souls—it must be because he’s awakened the Heavenly Demon Physique.

And it probably happened under pressure from this exact situation."

"The Demon Emperor really is a damn genius. If I were her, I’d train Lin Jing the same way."

"Is that so..." Gu Qianqiu muttered, still worried about Lin Jing, who was far off in the Western Desert. After all, this was just Senior Mo Pine’s guess.

"Don’t worry. It’s probably exactly that. And even if it’s not, you don’t need to worry about that brat. He’s too important to the Demon Court. Even if the Demon Court Lord were seriously injured, she’d still drag herself up, half-dead if need be, just to keep him safe."

"But I still trust my gut. As a demonic cultivator, never trust just what your eyes see or your ears hear—use your own experience to understand the essence of things."

"Sure, Lin Jing’s situation in the Western Desert might look rough right now—probably running from strong enemies all over the place—but that kind of state is exactly what’ll push him even further..." Mo Pine hadn’t even finished speaking when he felt the wave of the Celestial Sword arrive in Qingzhou. He stared in silence as Lin Jing, riding the Celestial Sword and cutting across the sea by the shortest route, descended into Qingzhou.

And then he froze—

Wait a second, what the h*ll is going on?
