Vol 4 Chapter 124: True Dragon Immortal Physique

Heavenly Demon Finger!

Many Seeking the Way experts instinctively reacted when they sensed Lin Jing wielding this technique. The Holy Son of the Demon Court had actually mastered this forbidden art to perfection.

First the Heavenly Demon Physique, then Heavenly Demon Divine Sense, and now the Heavenly Demon Finger...

"It seems we can evaluate the results now," remarked Ling Daozi of the Spirit Dao Sect, one of those who had paid Lin Jing's protection fee, finding the situation intriguing.

They were well aware that numerous Heavenly Demon Sect geniuses currently resided in the Origin Realm. Just as they worried their own disciples might be unfamiliar with the sect's techniques, Lin Jing arrived wielding the Heavenly Demon Finger - perfect timing in their eyes.

"I wonder how far his research into countering Heavenly Demon techniques has progressed," Ling Daozi glanced at Lu Qi. Initially, the Spirit Dao Sect's Dao Child had been quite displeased about paying protection fees to this Demon Court Holy Son.

Although Lu Qi had now climbed to fourth place, surpassing Lin Jing, Ling Daozi suspected Lu Qi still wanted to settle their rivalry and prove himself. This "Heavenly Demon whetstone" would still serve its purpose.

The Tianyuan Grand Event clearly needed to continue. If their disciples could experience Heavenly Demon techniques through Lin Jing, it would undoubtedly benefit their upcoming journey to the Origin Realm.

"In that case..." Lin Jing turned toward the Ancient Imperial Prince standing beside the Second Ancient Emperor, dressed in brocade robes. "I'll challenge His Highness directly. Since Princess Youran just finished her battle, I won't take advantage."

"Or perhaps... why don't the top five come at me together? After all, I have multiple beast companions to assist..."

"Arrogant bastard!"

Lin Jing's words immediately drew curses from numerous geniuses like Lu Qi and Dao Hui - especially Dao Hui, whose eyes burned with vengeance for past humiliations.

Even the Seeking the Way experts were taken aback by the Demon Court Holy Son's boundless audacity. Did he truly understand the terror of an Immortal Physique?

"This guy..." Xu Qingyao, standing beside the Demon Emperor, took a deep breath. Her junior brother hadn't come for revenge - he came to pick a fight!

Having personally exchanged blows with Princess Youran, Xu Qingyao understood the dreadful power of an Immortal Physique. If Gu Youran was already monstrously strong, the Ancient Imperial Prince would be even more formidable.

She urgently sent a mental message advising Lin Jing not to overestimate himself - others had progressed too.

Lin Jing responded with a reassuring look. Only he knew his current full capabilities.

"Heh..." The Ancient Imperial Prince chuckled lightly. "Challenging five opponents violates the rules."

"But I admire your courage. Since you're so confident, and I've yet to fight in this event, let us duel." The prince gazed down at Lin Jing from the elevated platform.

"Truthfully, I've long wanted to teach this Demon Court Holy Son a lesson. But Father Emperor prioritized the bigger picture, insisting I first cultivate my Immortal Physique. Now that I've achieved the same constitution as the First Dragon Immortal Physique, I fear no one."

"My son, go." The Seven Dragon Immortal Physique wielder decided it was time to settle their long-standing conflict with the Demon Court. "As the Golden Ranking's top genius and the continent's foremost talent, you may proceed."

As the prince slowly walked forward on air, Lin Jing's severed demonic arm floated up again. Standing atop it with hands behind his back, Lin Jing faced his opponent midair as the crowd erupted.

Holy Son of the Demon Court versus Crown Prince of the Ancient Clan!

What an exciting development.

Who would have imagined such a spectacle on the Tianyuan Grand Event's final day?

Though not one against five, this would suffice.

"Who will win?"

This question burned in everyone's minds.

"He's done for," the First Ancient Emperor secretly observing the event shook his head upon seeing Lin Jing's arrival. During the Heavenly Demon Sect's destruction, he'd created numerous techniques specifically countering their secret arts - extremely difficult and taxing to master.

These techniques were derived from his True Dragon Immortal Physique. Regardless of his opinions about the Second Ancient Emperor's policies, he had to admit his grandson Gu Xinghe had been well-trained - the second in Ancient Clan history to cultivate the Postnatal True Dragon Immortal Physique.

If his judgment was correct, Gu Xinghe must have mastered many Heavenly Demon-countering techniques for navigating the Origin Realm. With Lin Jing already at a cultivation disadvantage, encountering those techniques could prove disastrous.

Yet the First Ancient Emperor offered no warning. Blood was thicker than water - he wouldn't help Lin Jing against his own descendant. Besides, with the match imminent, it was too late anyway.

"Good luck," the Demon Emperor quietly cheered for Lin Jing.

Dao Hui, Wan Renzong, and Ta Wu - all previously defeated by Lin Jing - watched intently. Though eager to measure their current strength against him, they didn't mind spectating this battle first.

"Nascent Soul Transformation late stage," Lin Jing assessed cautiously. Within the same realm, he feared no Immortal Physique. But facing someone nearly a major realm higher, he needed to bridge the gap first.

"One incense stick's time should suffice," Lin Jing calculated. Temporarily boosting to Nascent Soul Transformation peak for such a short duration would consume minimal lifespan. Previously impossible, his deepened understanding of the Heavenly Demon Physique after acquiring demonic blood made this precision possible.

BOOM!

As their gazes locked, the crowd saw dark flames flicker around Lin Jing as his aura suddenly surged, his cultivation rocketing to Nascent Soul Transformation initial stage in an instant.

"Heavenly Demon Physique!"

The audience buzzed with anticipation as Lin Jing employed his signature technique to level the playing field. But when the Ancient Imperial Prince chuckled, Lin Jing's cultivation didn't rise further - instead plummeting back to Nascent Soul great perfection!

Simultaneously, an invisible dragon of fortune materialized beneath the floating prince's feet. While all Ancient Clan practitioners of the True Dragon Secret Arts could manifest such dragons, the crowd gasped as this one displayed intelligence identical to the First Ancient Emperor's legendary Fortune Dragon Emperor - completely unlike ordinary fortune dragons!

"Your Highness... I shall assist. I've reversed this space's time flow, causing his technique's effects to regress..." the fortune dragon spoke slowly.

Gu Xinghe addressed Lin Jing: "The Heavenly Demon Physique? How naive. As the defeated foe of our ancient kingdom, do you truly consider our clan's secret arts so insignificant that you'd use Heavenly Demon Sect techniques against me?"
