The sound of footsteps meant that someone was coming.
Who could it be?
The judge's first thought was that it was a Rank 3 immortal and Duke Liu. But on second thought, he didn't think it was possible.
The immortal devouring beast's roar indicated that it had found its prey. It could only be a Rank 3 immortal and Duke Liu. At least, the judge didn't think there were any other immortals living in the nine heavens.
It was because he didn't know and couldn't guess who it was that he was nervous.
The old warden was nervous too.
The two immortals stared at the end of the corridor, waiting to see who would appear there.
Finally, a figure appeared.
"An immortal?" Evidently, he was shocked that a Celestial dared to move about outside. Moreover, he was sure that it was not a Three-Ring Celestial or Duke Liu, as they were too familiar with each other. That figure was clearly not one of them.
The judge narrowed his eyes and shook his head. "It's a mortal!"
A mortal!
How could there be mortals in the nine heavens?
The old jailer couldn't figure out the reason for this. At this time, the mortals also saw them.
This mortal was obviously Lin Jin.
Ever since he stepped into the Nine Heavens World, he had been following Cai Die all the way and he had seen sights he had never seen before. The Nine Heavens World was the immortal world. How vast was this place? From Lin Jin's perspective, it was definitely bigger than both Middle Earth and the outworld combined.
And this was just one day in the nine heavens.
The nine heavens combined was more than ten times the size of Heartland.
Now, Lin Jin realized that Heartland was just a tiny place. Back then, immortals occupied the best place and lived a carefree life.
Meanwhile, mortals could only live a difficult life in Heartland, enduring the separation of life and death.
Now that he thought about it, immortals were really greedy. They had enjoyed everything yet they weren't satisfied. They wanted to rule for the heavens but in the end, they were just digging their own graves.
Of course, not all immortals were like that. Just like mortals, there were good and bad immortals.
Sure enough, immortals couldn't be found in the nine heavens but the number of immortal beasts astounded Lin Jin. Cai Die told him that this wasn't the case even during the peak of immortal cultivation. Immortal beasts were enslaved by immortals. Only after the immortals fell did immortal beasts begin to flourish without restraint.
However, Immortal Beasts were Immortal Beasts, not all of them had intelligence.
Cultivation could unlock spiritual wisdom, but cultivation required the guidance of immortals, so the immortal beasts in the Nine Heavens Xuan World were just slightly more powerful beasts.
At least, that was what Lin Jin thought.
This was also one of the dangers that Cai Die mentioned. Although she was successful in her cultivation, she was still much weaker than some talented immortal beasts. If she encountered them, she would only become a hunting target. However, Lin Jin was the complete opposite. In his eyes, the Nine Heavens Xuan World was simply a paradise.
In just two days, he had collected hundreds of immortal beasts in the Museum of Deadly Beasts. None of them were ordinary breeds. Any one of them was a rare beast.
Also, Lin Jin wasn't afraid of these immortal beasts.
At first, there were indeed some wild immortal beasts who wanted to attack Lin Jin. But Lin Jin didn't even need to do anything as the hundred beasts were enough to deal with them.
Occasionally, there would be some Immortal Beasts whose strength surpassed the Hundred Beasts Monster. At this time, Xiao Huo would reveal some of his aura and he would be able to intimidate them. After all, even in the Nine Heavens Profound World, there were not many Immortal Beasts that had reached the seventh rank.
The journey was smooth and Cai Die felt more relaxed until they saw the immortal devouring beast with their own eyes.
This wasn't Lin Jin's first time seeing an immortal devouring beast. Back at Daluo Temple, he witnessed a Buddha hidden in an underwater cave being killed by an immortal devouring beast with one swipe of its claws.
Back then, the immortal devouring beast's strength was enough to destroy the world. It was also at that moment that Lin Jin realized what the strongest thing in this world was. It was also at that moment that Lin Jin set his goal of promoting his pet beast to Rank 9.
Initially, Lin Jin thought that he would be satisfied if his pet beast could reach Rank 5.
But now, even with Xiao Huo at Rank 7, Lin Jin still didn't feel safe.
The immortal devouring beast's appearance was too sudden. If it weren't for the two frantically fleeing immortals, Lin Jin would have assumed that the immortal devouring beast was coming for him.
Compared to the sudden appearance of the immortal devouring beast, Lin Jin was more curious about the two immortals.
This was the Nine Heavens Profound World. How could there be immortals here?
In the past, this would have been a faulty sentence, but now, it was the truth.
What could be more interesting than two immortals appearing in a place where immortals couldn't possibly exist? And now, the immortal devouring beast was coming for these two immortals.
Truth be told, Lin Jin's first reaction was to hide.
Although he wanted to ask how the two immortals managed to survive until now to answer some of his questions, it was insignificant compared to facing the immortal devouring beast head-on.
Lin Jin was strong but he was still no match for the immortal devouring beast so he had to cower.
This was a tactic.
As for the two immortals, Lin Jin could only wish them good luck.
When the immortal devouring beast appeared, its body was enormous. Cai Die was so frightened that she reverted to her original form and hid on Lin Jin's body. Xiao Huo, who was inside Lin Jin, felt the immense pressure and began to stir.
There were also those who remained calm and unfazed. The beast monster was one of them, and the ghost-blood beast was another.
Both of them were anomalies. They didn't have sentience or even thought processes, so it went without saying that they didn't know what fear was.
If nothing went wrong, the immortal devouring beast would end up killing the two immortals. However, the development was unexpected.
The two immortals began to flee in different directions, clearly using some kind of spell. However, the immortal devouring beast was faster. Although one of them was sent flying thousands of feet away, he was still killed by the immortal devouring beast at lightning speed.
Its mountainous claws, imbued with flames and lightning, could easily destroy a city. No matter how powerful the immortal was, he wouldn't be able to withstand the attack.
In the next instant, the immortal devouring beast went after the other immortal. There was a loud rumble in the distance and lightning and fire surged. Then, the immortal devouring beast left and everything returned to normal.
The entire process was surprisingly quick, but in the blink of an eye, two immortals had fallen.
Those were immortals they were talking about. They died no different from ants.
Even though it wasn't Lin Jin's first time encountering an immortal devouring beast, he was still scared out of his wits. Even his fingers were trembling. It wasn't just his reaction, but Xiao Huo's as well.
He was still scared.
Regardless of how much his strength had improved, a gap was still a gap. This time, he was observing the Immortal Devouring Beast up close. Besides, the two immortals killed by the Immortal Devouring Beast were far stronger than the Buddha at Daluo Temple.
Hence, the shock this time was even greater.
Lin Jin took a deep breath and stood up. He looked at the huge crater in the distance and the lightning and fire around it.
"It's using lightning and fire this time!" Lin Jin mumbled to himself.
He had already appraised the immortal devouring beast. This creature was proficient in all five elements and was proficient in wind, thunder, fire, and lightning. It was an invincible existence with almost no weaknesses.
For the first time, Lin Jin was shaken.
