Vol 5 Chapter 94: Blood Prison Demon God
"Wait!!!"
"Benefactor, wait!!!" Just as Lin Jing was about to "pluck feathers and send the crane back," the Star Longevity Crane suddenly spoke urgently: "Don't send back."
"Hmm?" Lin Jing looked at the Star Longevity Crane. "You're quite interesting. Why don't you want to return?"
Among all the demonic beasts he had summoned, this Star Longevity Crane was the first that didn't want to go back. Lin Jing touched his face, his heart sinking. Could it be that this little female crane had been subdued by his charm?
The Star Longevity Crane looked around nervously. Though it didn't understand what was happening or why it had been summoned here, it wore an expression of relief, as if freed from so terrible suffering.
"If I go back, I'm dood."
It spoke with grief: "Senior, our territory has been occupied by outsiders. They've confined us. Returning would an certain death—being eaten alive."
"After all, consuming our flesh can prolong one's lifespan."
"Aren't you afraid I might eat you?" Lin Jing asked.
The crane replied: "No. I can sense that your vitality surpasses even the strongest elder of our clan. My flesh and blood would an nothing to you."
"Besides, I'm not old at all! I've only lived twenty-so years. For our Star Longevity Crane clan, that's practically newborn!" It suddenly rembered sothing and retorted.
Lin Jing gazed at it calmly.
"Twenty years is already quite old."
This was a twenty-year-old Star Longevity Crane at the Core Formation stage. According to Old Man Heavenly Secrets' research, Lin Jing's chances of awakening its Rare Beast bloodline through a contract were nearly zero.
In Lin Jing's eyes, only a Qi Refining stage Star Longevity Crane could be considered young. Cultivation level mattered most;
age was secondary.
"Fine, whatever the benefactor says." The crane looked distressed. "But I truly am the youngest in our clan. All Star Longevity Cranes in this region of the starry void have gathered in the 'Star Crane Realm.' Though I don't know what divine ability you used to summon , I beg you to rescue my clan as well."
"If you do, our entire clan will pledge allegiance to you."
"One of our racial divine abilities can extend others' lifespans—it would surely benefit you."
"Extending lifespan is trivial." Lin Jing's Longevity Immortal Physique could already do that, but the crane's words reminded him.
It seed all Star Longevity Cranes in this region of space had gathered in this cultivation world called the Star Crane Realm after descending from the Stellar Pools. As for who invaded this realm...
"Were the cultivators who invaded the Star Crane Realm called the Heavenly Demon Sect? Or did their divine abilities have these characteristics..." Lin Jing listed so traits, and the crane's eyes widened before it nodded repeatedly.
"That's them!!"
"I see." Lin Jing fell into thought, then asked: "How many Star Longevity Cranes remain there? Give so feathers—I'll see if I can summon them."
"Really?!"
The Star Crane Realm native's eyes sparkled beautifully as it eagerly shed many feathers.
Lin Jing took them and cast the Great Summoning Art again. With his previous success, he was confident he'd mastered the thod to target the Star Crane Realm clan!
Last ti had definitely been the Star Crane Realm.
However, this crane's claim of being the youngest in its clan troubled Lin Jing slightly.
But it wasn't a major issue.
If he could summon more Star Longevity Cranes, they could just reproduce!!!
With this thought, Lin Jing's Great Summoning Art connected to the Star Crane Realm again, targeting another Star Longevity Crane. But this ti, his expression changed dramatically.
The summoning failed. A powerful spatial force blocked his attempt.
This was unprecedented. Lin Jing had previously summoned even Seeking the Way stage crane demons without resistance—they'd all been forcibly summoned. But now...
Not only was he blocked, but the other party transmitted a voice across the vast distance:
"Dare to steal this god's cranes? I've marked your spiritual energy. Prepare to die."
"Rember this god's na—Blood Prison Demon God."
BOOM!
The summoning array shattered. Lin Jing wiped blood from his lips—a backlash injury—his expression grave.
"Benefactor, what happened?" The summoned Star Longevity Crane asked worriedly.
"It's no good." Lin Jing gazed into the void. "There's a powerful being among your world's invaders..."
"Blood Prison Demon God. I know of him. During your first summoning, he might not have noticed. But this ti, he directly interrupted my spell."
This Blood Prison Demon God was nearly as infamous as Demon Emperor Tianchou—another absolute monster. When Lin Jing had heard of him in the Origin Realm, rumors said he loved bathing in the blood of immortal physiques and celestial beasts.
To think this crane's holand had been invaded by such a creature.
Lin Jing sighed. It seed summoning more Star Longevity Cranes from this region would be difficult.
He turned to the crane before him. But having one was enough.
Though it didn't et his criteria, the "Mutated Spirit Spring" synthesized by the Wood-attribute Pine Leaf Mouse allowed solitary reproduction between humans and beasts. Lin Jing had tested this—though the offspring's bloodline talent paled compared to the parent's, it was the only option now.
"It's alright. Might I ask why you wanted to summon our clan?" While Lin Jing pondered how to persuade it to reproduce, the crane took a deep breath, its extinguished hope replaced by solemn determination.
"Nothing major. Just wanted to raise a young crane as my starry void mount," Lin Jing said casually.
"I'm willing to beco your mount and cultivate under your guidance. Would you accept ?" The crane spoke earnestly.
"You want to grow stronger under to take revenge on Blood Prison Demon God and save your clan?" Seeing through its intentions, Lin Jing shook his head. "Abandon that unrealistic notion. Blood Prison Demon God is beyond your capabilities..."
"If you help with sothing, I can teach you cultivation thods, grant you divine abilities, and provide resources. But I must reiterate—your invaders are more terrifying than you imagine. Your clan isn't known for combat prowess..."
"I can." The crane insisted. "In my youth, I awakened a combat ability foreign to our clan. But under surveillance, I never used it. That divine ability is powerful—even a Star Longevity Crane can wield trendous strength with it!"
Lin Jing started, staring at the crane. Awakened... a combat ability?
Could it be... a Rare Beast Divine Ability?!
Unbelievable. He'd sought a young Star Beast to gamble on awakening a Rare Beast bloodline, yet the one he summoned was already awakened?
