Immortal through Beast Taming

BOOM!!

Amidst a dazzling light, a terrifying aura exploded from the Song Leaf Mouse as its bloodline was transforming, evolving, leaping, and sublimating. The mighty bloodline pressure made the Dragon Carp, which was sleeping within the cave's alchemy cauldron, suddenly open its dazed eyes in shock.

It leapt out of the cave, lying on the mountaintop, looking at the little squirrel below, which was evolving and sitting cross-legged, its bloodline trembling.

At this moment, the Song Leaf Mouse was completely shrouded in spiritual light; its form couldn't be clearly seen. Even the Divine Pine could only vaguely sense that due to the mutation of its bloodline, its life level and form were changing in an indefinable direction.

Although the specific outcome was yet unknown, the Divine Pine was silent at its almost freakish divine sense!

Two hundred feet…three hundred feet…a divine sense of a kilometer, typically only reached at the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection, was now appearing in a little squirrel that had just achieved Foundation Establishment.

And yet, this seemed far from the limit, a thousand meters…eleven hundred meters…fifteen hundred meters…

BOOM!!!

A divine sense powerful enough to extend two thousand meters left even the Divine Pine in awe. This almost exceeded the normal scope of common Foundation Establishment, something only "Fake Pill Cultivators" who simulated Core Formation by other means could possess.

"With such powerful divine sense, one holds a significant advantage in battles of techniques…"

"This must be due to its frequent use of treasure beast divine techniques, controlling leaves with its spirit, establishing a robust foundation for such terrifying divine sense."

When the Song Leaf Mouse's divine sense expanded to two thousand meters, it stopped. At the same moment, the light of bloodline evolution enveloping it slowly dissipated, as Lin Jing's consciousness returned, watching the Song Leaf Mouse slowly rise and open its eyes with a dazed look.

The divine sense returned, and the clovers in the Song Leaf Mouse's eyes spun wildly, emitting a terrifying aura, far removed from the appearance of an ordinary Foundation Establishment Demon Beast. But what surprised Lin Jing the most was not its astonishing transformation in strength, but the change in its appearance!!!

Though it still retained the basic appearance of a squirrel, with soft and shiny brown fur, compared to an animal, it now looked more like a symbiotic entity of animal and plant!

The Song Leaf Mouse... its two ears transformed into diamond-shaped red leaves, and the tip of its large tail had evolved into a maple leaf-like plant. Perhaps, more than Song Leaf Mouse, the name Maple Leaf Mouse would be more fitting.

Unlike its previously weak physique, the current body of the Song Leaf Mouse gave Lin Jing an impression of immense power, especially the maple leaves at the tip of its tail, each resembling sharp blades, incredibly sharp, far surpassing the red leaves a hundredfold. Even the demon-slaying sword infused with sword intent owned by Yuan Jing seemed less formidable to Lin Jing than the current form of the Song Leaf Mouse.

"That life-bound red leaf-like special plant has indeed become part of its body."

"This power... barely entering Foundation Establishment, yet capable of contending with the Foundation Establishment Peak, it has the bloodline of a Supreme Demon King!"

"The Longevity Pine Cone, irrigated with the blood of longevity, I gave it, now grants it unparalleled vitality. Its lifespan now probably..."

"No, wrong!"

The Divine Pine suddenly exclaimed, as it saw the Song Leaf Mouse's evolution was incomplete. As its Glazed Immortal Pupil rotated, tree-like substances began to spread over its body, growing continuously, emanating astonishing vitality, as if a Divine Tree was being nurtured on the surface of the Song Leaf Mouse!!!

RUMBLE!!!

In an instant, the Song Leaf Mouse vanished, replaced by a gigantic squirrel statue, dozens of feet tall, its entire being seemingly composed of wood!!

The squirrel statue, while generally resembling the former appearance of the Song Leaf Mouse, had a body akin to a mountainous structure, covered with branches, and endless pine cones grew from these branches, as if it had transformed into a terrestrial Divine Pine!

"How is this possible? It could be forgiven for assimilating the red leaf, but it also perfectly assimilated my pine cone, making it a part of itself." The Divine Pine found it incomprehensible, knowing that it was a plant Divinity Transformation, the red leaf being synthetic from the Song Leaf Mouse was understandable, but its power being refined by this squirrel?

Even according to Lin Jing's alchemy theories, this pine cone merely provided Foundation Establishment energy!

"Is it the power of those eyes?" Then appeared an event that shocked the Divine Pine further. Covered by the light of the Song Leaf Mouse's Glazed Immortal Pupil, the endless pine cones on the squirrel statue slowly vanished, and in their place, a third eye opened on the Song Leaf Mouse's forehead. However, upon closer inspection, it was not an eye but a pine cone, merging into the Song Leaf Mouse's forehead like a third eye, incredibly mystical.

BOOM!

This statue was bizarre beyond belief; at its birth, the vegetation on the mountain began to wither, their life force drained, transforming into essence, merging into the statue.

Even the Divine Pine felt like it was facing an unforeseen disaster, sensing a force attempting to devour its life force.

As life force gathered, the bloodline strength of the Song Leaf Mouse seemed temporarily enhanced, bursting with an even stronger oppression, causing the newly awakened Dragon Carp to faint once more.

"This is... the True Form of the Demon King!!!" The Divine Pine exclaimed in shock, as a situation it found incredible unfolded before it.

"What is the True Form of the Demon King?"

Lin Jing was also taken aback by the unexpected transformation. Now he could sense that the Song Leaf Mouse was in an unconscious state, immersed in understanding its bloodline evolution, regarding the True Form of the Demon King that the Divine Pine mentioned, Lin Jing, well-read, had never heard of it.

The Divine Pine took a deep breath: "For human cultivators, once they reach the Nascent Soul realm, they can use the power of the Nascent Soul to condense the Nascent Soul Dharma Appearance, enhancing the power of magical techniques."

"The True Form of the Demon King is a similar method. However, unlike the Nascent Soul Dharma Appearance, which any Nascent Soul Cultivator can perform, the True Form of the Demon King can only be mastered by a very few Supreme Demon Kings. Its enhancement is stronger, considered a unique 'racial innate ability', a special kind of 'transformation', rare even compared to the divine body of humans."

"In the state of the True Form of the Demon King, although the consumption is enormous, the bloodline augmentation is terrifying. If a Demon King masters the True Form of the Demon King, even a demigod would retreat, for at that moment, their bloodline strength is comparable to the imperial level!"

"The most formidable aspect is that this racial innate ability upgrades with the improvement of cultivation, advancing to the True Form of the Demon Emperor... possibly even further to the True Form of the Demon Emperor."

The Divine Pine murmured: "But the True Form of the Demon King is generally innate, never heard of being acquired, is it because it is a Treasure Beast? Regardless, now, with just this little squirrel at the Early-Stage Foundation Establishment, you should be able to crush most of the so-called Foundation Establishment cultivators on the list of prodigies."

"With the bloodline of the Supreme Demon King and the True Form of the Demon King, even if a Demon Emperor lineage appears, your squirrel could engage in a fierce battle!"

At this moment, immersed in the transformation of the Song Leaf Mouse, Lin Jing had not realized that his own cultivation had already advanced to the eleventh layer of Qi Cultivation, and with the spiritual power feedback from the Song Leaf Mouse, he was even approaching the twelfth layer of Qi Cultivation. And this... was while another even more monstrous existence, the Ice Soul Gu at the eleventh layer of Qi Cultivation, had yet to grant its Foundation Establishment feedback!
