Beast Tamer Ascension-Chapter 9Book 4: : Asura

Vol 4 Chapter 9: Asura

"You bastard.."

"Aren’t you being a little too arrogant?"

Staring at the calm and composed Lin Jing, Qin Siyuan put his hands together.

After repairing his cracked golden body, his figure and appearance began to change gradually.

"I admit... among the Core Formation cultivators I’ve met, you have the strongest pure physical power."

"But trying to comprehend this supreme Buddhist art just by experiencing Golden Body strikes... isn’t that a bit too little Golden Body for something like the Indestructible Golden Body?"

"Even for me, when I first learned the Indestructible Golden Body, I suffered greatly."

"But, since you want to try, I’ll grant your wish."

"Asura War God!" he shouted lowly. His body doubled in size, his features twisted into something hideously grotesque, and in the blink of an eye, he had transformed into a monstrous god in Asura form.

This was Qin Siyuan’s Core Formation divine ability: Asura War God!

After transforming, his physical strength multiplied several times, and the power of his martial techniques also greatly increased.

Right then, Qin Siyuan ignored the wear and tear on his Core and activated the divine ability. The scariest part was—after transforming into Asura, he could still maintain full-body golden armor.

The golden, shining Asura giant glared furiously at Lin Jing and threw a punch.

Boom!

Lin Jing also launched a Vajra Fist. As the massive and small fists collided, Lin Jing heard a cracking sound—his hand bones, arm bones began to fracture, and the next moment, he was blasted away by the shockwave.

"Now, my physical body."

Feeling himself crack Lin Jing’s bones with a single punch, Qin Siyuan spoke—though inwardly shocked. In this state, even a Nascent Soul cultivator’s manifestation could be shattered by him, and yet he had only fractured this guy’s bones?

Just how strong was the Holy Son of the Demon Court’s body?

"Smash!!!" No matter how Lin Jing trained, Qin Siyuan had no intention of losing to a guy who defected to the demon race. After blasting Lin Jing away, his figure flashed and landed heavily in the direction Lin Jing flew, clapping his hands together and directly sandwiching Lin Jing between his palms. With a thunderous boom, waves of air rolled out and clouds dispersed.

Qin Siyuan’s attack was extremely fierce. This scene made the Golden Body Arhat breathe a sigh of relief.

It looked like Qin Siyuan was indeed more skilled. He’d seen Lin Jing’s counter earlier—it was a Vajra Fist, indeed a rudimentary Buddhist technique. Though it had terrifying power when paired with that mighty body, it couldn’t compare to Qin Siyuan’s combined divine ability of Asura War God and Indestructible Golden Body, even if it meant damaging his Core.

Still, the fact that he wasn’t blasted into a blood mist under that combination already earned Lin Jing the Golden Body Arhat’s recognition.

But this was the limit. With this blow, Lin Jing’s internal organs must have been shaken. Even for a body cultivator, the insides are always weaker than the outer shell.

And Qin Siyuan’s palm strike—its damage went straight inside!

"Your Highness the Holy Son—" Seeing Lin Jing’s condition, the nine Thunder Dragons watching from outside the city were shocked and quickly looked toward the coachman-like Thunder Dragon Ancestor, deeply worried about Lin Jing’s safety.

"No problem." The Thunder Dragon Ancestor just shook his head. Having studied body tempering for thousands of years, it could see Lin Jing’s physical nature better than anyone.

"No need to worry... His Highness’s body isn’t just a bit strong in offense and defense." Ancestor Huangzhi squinted his eyes.

As he finished speaking, people saw Qin Siyuan’s clasped giant palms suddenly tremble. Under the shocked gazes of the Thunder Dragons and many Buddhist cultivators, those massive palms were forcibly pried open from within by a single man.

That man didn’t show any signs of damaged organs or fractured bones.

"Impossible." Seeing this, Qin Siyuan took a deep breath. He had clearly felt it—he was sure the guy’s bones had cracked, his internal organs had bled.

"Could it be..." This Buddhist prodigy was suddenly stunned. Could it be that in just a few breaths, Lin Jing had already healed all the damage?

That fast?

"Nice strike." Lin Jing pried open the massive hands and offered some praise. Thankfully, he had taken the Tier-Six rare plant, Nine-Life Exquisite Grass, giving him terrifying regenerative ability.

Otherwise, that blow would indeed have broken the body he had spent ten years tempering.

Looks like his body still wasn’t strong enough...

That insane regenerative ability was actually a key reason Lin Jing had achieved his current physical strength. Without the rare plant he found in that Cavern Heaven, he couldn’t have endured the damage from lightning and fire tempering.

"Buddhist Light." Lin Jing turned into a stream of Buddhist light from between the two palms. Now that the opponent could break through his defenses, there was no way he would just sit and take hits. Whether being struck by the Golden Body or striking it himself, both allowed him to experience the power of the technique.

Since no one was willing to teach him, Lin Jing would see for himself—could he steal-learn the Indestructible Golden Body through battle?

After all, the difficult part of the technique was said to be the absolute control over one’s body. And after enduring the harshest of tempering, Lin Jing had already reached the pinnacle of body control.

"Have you ever been kicked by Buddhist Light?" As a beam of light, Lin Jing’s speed completely surpassed Qin Siyuan’s. The beam descended in a flash, his leg wrapped in Buddhist Light, and smashed into the Asura’s head. Boom! Qin Siyuan’s head snapped sideways in Asura form, his entire body staggering in the other direction.

Lin Jing realized that this Buddhist Light technique, paired with physical combat, was quite effective—it could better accelerate himself and thus deliver even more powerful blows.

"D*mn it." Stabilizing himself, Qin Siyuan was extremely unwilling, but the next moment, Lin Jing’s storm of kicks rained down again, toppling his massive body to the ground!

"D*mn... still didn’t break through his defenses?" The situation seemed to be turning awkward. Both of them were scratching each other—neither could hurt the other.

However, this mutual ineffectiveness clearly didn’t satisfy Qin Siyuan.

After all, maintaining this divine ability placed huge pressure on his Core.

Lying on the ground, a strange aura began leaking from his body. Black mist oozed from his eyes, ears, nostrils, and mouth.

Seeing this, Lin Jing knew the other was about to bring out his true trump card. He had sensed long ago that Qin Siyuan had a terrifying monster sealed inside him. From what the guy had shown so far, defeating a regular Nascent Soul cultivator wasn’t hard—but to beat someone who had made the Gold List? Far from enough.

Looks like the guy was ready to use his ultimate move.

"If this still counts as Buddhist art, then I might as well..." Just as Lin Jing was about to unleash the demonic forces sealed in the Buddha-Demon Tree—

Suddenly, a voice rang out from Golden Light Temple.

"That’s enough." The voice echoed through the entire city. In an instant, it halted Qin Siyuan’s actions, and the black energy within him was forced back.

"This is a sacred Buddhist ground. The two of you should not unleash such dark forces in battle. Let’s call this match a draw. Liu Zhi, bring His Highness the Holy Son over. His Buddhist attainments are sufficient to undertake the Golden Light Gu’s inheritance trial."

The voice came from none other than the Indestructible Monk of Golden Light Temple.
