The transformation of the Pine-Needle Mouse deeply stirred the other heavenly talents. After mastering the Cyan Emperor Longevity Technique, the true form of the Pine-Needle Mouse Demon King exhibited more violence than the Mosquito-powered Mecha before. Underneath its more than a hundred-meter tall body, a hundred giant arms grew, each fist and palm emitting power far surpassing the Foundation Establishment Stage.
With the help of the Hidden Dragon Secret Technique, Zhao Qingquan temporarily elevated his cultivation to the Early-Stage Golden Core, yet he still faced merciless wreckage from the giant figure. They suspected the strength of this giant was enough to contend on the Earth Ranking for heavenly talents.
"I can't believe it makes me feel like I don't want to face it..." A Golden Core Elder in the audience took a deep breath. To know, he was at Mid-Stage Golden Core, unlike Zhao Qingquan, who merely held Golden Core mana. He could indeed use Golden Core Divine Techniques, and even he felt a fear of confronting this giant.
Many in the audience couldn't help but exclaim in shock. No wonder the Celestial Secret Tower predicted Lin Jing had championship luck. Now with the Demon King's true form of the Pine-Needle Mouse before their eyes, they speculated that even the top heavenly talent, Chen Chong, would find it challenging to confront.
"The true form is a symbol of innate potential among demon beasts, just like the Divine Body among human cultivators. No, even rarer than ordinary Divine Bodies. It's said its power rivals the enhancement of a Nascent Soul Dharma Form. And now, it's like a Foundation Establishment Cultivator revealing a Nascent Soul Dharma Form, while Zhao Qingquan is merely a Foundation Establishment Cultivator with Golden Core strength but hasn't obtained Golden Core Divine Techniques. How could he be a match?"
"But if it were just that, it would be fine. With its Early-Stage Foundation Establishment cultivation, it would presumably struggle to control this true form, at most performing crude attacks that might have weaknesses. Yet what's unimaginable is its skillful control of the true form; those hundred wood arms couldn't possibly be wielded so adeptly, even by a Golden Core Wood Cultivator."
"When unparalleled power combines with the skill to wield it, that's when a being is at its most terrifying state..."
The cultivators present were shocked by the Pine-Needle Mouse's power and technique. Even some Nascent Soul Cultivators could not help but be amazed. It was hard to fathom that this was the power a Foundation Establishment Demon Beast could exhibit.
"Hey, hey..." Wang Xiao, the champion of the eighth group, took a deep breath, finding it hard to believe that a pet beast raised by humans could reach such a level.
"This person..." A disciple from the Ten Thousand Poison Sect returning from the Cloud Sea Mountain Range frowned, doubting if his poison techniques could corrode such Buddhistic nature. He felt the chance was slim, especially since the seemingly wooden body didn't look likely to be poisoned.
As for Lin Jing, the Beast Master... he looked over again, doubting if he could attack Lin Jing directly under the sanctuary of that giant form. Moreover, this squirrel could perform spatial magic.
"Temporarily unmatched." The heavenly talent with the five-element body, whose strength lies in mastering five-element magic and even integrating them into more powerful Divine Techniques, realized upon witnessing the combination of the Pine-Needle Mouse's wood and Buddhist techniques that his own combination spells were nothing remarkable and might be instantly obliterated under thousands of fists and palms.
Unless his five-element body reaches perfection, allowing five-element spells to integrate, cycle mutually, but that would take a long time.
At that moment, facing the terrifying demon pet unleashed by Lin Jing, several major heavenly talents were discouraged, unsure of how to win, lacking confidence. If the gap were smaller, anyone would be willing to try, but deep down, they admitted they couldn't suppress Zhao Qingquan's Fountain Source Body as exaggeratedly as Lin Jing did. The disparity was too vast.
Not to mention the others, even Mo Qianyi, the second-ranked heavenly talent, was momentarily stunned, understanding why Lin Jing nonchalantly traded mecha blueprints. In truth... the mecha wasn't that crucial to him.
This squirrel was truly terrifying, comparable to a thousand troops.
Mo Qianyi had a fleeting thought to try but first looked toward Chen Chong. At this moment, the top heavenly talent had a swirling Dao mark in his gaze, eyes filled with unexpected joy and battle spirit.
"Indeed, the world is full of talents. Before this, I never thought Beast Taming Cultivation could reach such a level. Fellow Daoist Lin, next, let me, Chen, challenge you!"
Chen Chong's body seemed unbound by gravity, floating upward. He arrived at the arena, not descending but maintaining the same altitude as Lin Jing, hovering a hundred meters above, looking directly at Lin Jing!
The top heavenly talent Chen Chong stepped up to challenge!
The audience's hearts raced, reflecting that this scenario was what they anticipated most—a dark horse in the heavenly talents' battle against Chen Chong, who cultivated Technique Elemental Spirit and never relinquished the top rank among heavenly talents. These two would undoubtedly present an exciting display.
"I've long admired your name." Lin Jing stood on the Pine-Needle Mouse's shoulder, smiling, hoping that after defeating Chen Chong, no one else would challenge him.
Yet he was unsure of Chen Chong's limits, wondering if he needed to reveal more of his cards to cope.
"Go!"
As soon as Chen Chong made his move, he waved a hand, and immediately a horizontal gravity wave transformed into a shockwave sweeping toward the massive Pine-Needle Mouse. In its Demon King true form, while the Pine-Needle Mouse had greatly increased power, its agility faced significant restriction.
Facing Chen Chong's attack, the Pine-Needle Mouse could only continue smashing out Vajra Fist Palms. People saw that under Chen Chong's unstoppable gravity technique, there was no hindrance whatsoever to the Pine-Needle Mouse's power. Under the terrifying Buddhist Fist, the horizontal gravity field was instantly torn apart.
"So strong, this squirrel is so strong; it ignored Chen Chong's gravity technique entirely!"
"Could it be... the so-called invincible Innate Dao Body finally... no, it's not right!"
Suddenly, seeing that the normal execution of the gravity technique was ineffective, in Chen Chong's palm, an illusory star-shaped spirit began to appear. This spirit was entirely yellow, accompanied by white lines. As Chen Chong summoned this spirit, with a thunderous sound, it was as if the heavens collapsed. The Pine-Needle Mouse's punching action abruptly halted, and its enormous body seemed frozen in place.
"Crack, crack, crack, crack!"
In that instant, even the wooden arms punching out from the Pine-Needle Mouse couldn't bear the weight, cracking under the terrifying gravity, falling off, shattering entirely in a moment.
Was that... the Technique Elemental Spirit?
People looked toward the spirit in Chen Chong's hand.
Chen Chong finally unveiled the Technique Elemental Spirit. The power of the Technique Elemental Spirit left the audience in awe.
This was merely a Technique Elemental Spirit born from a common gravity spell. Yet, the Demon King's true form that had astounded the crowd was surprisingly... surprisingly restricted in an instant.
With its arms fallen and unable to move, it no longer held the invincible momentum it had shown moments before.
"Is it only this much?" Chen Chong saw the Demon King's true form of the Pine-Needle Mouse immobilized under the Technique Elemental Spirit, shaking his head. "It seems my Technique Elemental Spirit has the upper hand, but making me summon it, you've already earned some boasting rights."
"Hmm?" Just after speaking, Chen Chong suddenly paused.
