Beast Taming: Bloodline Golden Hand

On the walls of Thunder City, the fierce winds are howling.

Two armies clash, the atmosphere is grim to the extreme.

Above the sky, Xuanyuan Cang stands in the void, with the vast army of the Four Divine Races behind him.

He looks down from above at Lin Chen on the battlements, his eyes hold the shadow of a golden dragon filled with indifference, his voice like a divine decree of judgment echoing throughout the city:

"Lin Chen, I offer you a chance."

"If you commit suicide publicly to apologize, we might consider... sparing the ants of Thunder City."

Upon these words, the world seemed to pause for a moment.

However, the next second, instead of the fear and hesitation Xuanyuan Cang expected on the walls, there erupted unabashed laughter.

"Hahahahahaha!"

Xu Pingzhi laughed forward and backward, even exaggeratedly wiped the tears from his laughter from his eyes.

He pointed at Xuanyuan Cang, his tone filled with mockery:

"Xuanyuan Cang, you've lived for hundreds of years, how can you still be so naive?"

"The vendetta between Lin Chen and you is one thing, but the survival struggle between the Human Race and the Divine Race is another."

"You want us to cut our own limbs and then let you slaughter us? Do you think we're fools, or are you the fool?"

The Great Elder coldly added:

"You are so anxious for Lin Chen to die that you've resorted to such vile threats; this can only mean one thing—"

"You're afraid."

"You're afraid of Lin Chen's growth, afraid he will become the one to truly annihilate the Divine Race in the future!"

Exposed in public, Xuanyuan Cang's previously majestic face instantly turned gloomy, anger and murderous intent surged in his eyes.

"Sharp-tongued!"

Beside him, the elder of the Divine Tiger Race, Ji Lie, sneered with a burst of murderous aura:

"Afraid? That's a joke!"

"Look at your pitiful forces behind you, then look at our Divine Race army!"

"With your few numbers, you'd be turned to ash in an instant! How could you possibly fight us?!"

At the moment of reaching peak tension—

A wild and heroic voice suddenly exploded from the rear of Thunder City, like a thunder tearing apart the solemn battlefield:

"What if... we join the fight?!"

Boom—!!!

The ground trembles, dust flies.

The Divine Race members, startled, instinctively look up.

On the horizon behind Thunder City, a formidable army sweeps in like a sandstorm!

Clad not in Central Plains attire, but in the rugged and wild style unique to the Western Regions.

Flags fluttered, boldly embroidered with a large "West" character!

"It's the Western Alliance?!"

Xuanyuan Cang's expression changed slightly, showing happiness.

Before anyone could react, several streams of light had already separated from the army, landing first on the walls of Thunder City.

The leading middle-aged man was towering like a mountain, with a bushy beard, exuding the desolate and overbearing aura of the desert.

It was the Alliance Hierarch of the Western Alliance, Du Shanhai!

Beside him stood a heroic young woman.

Lin Chen was not unfamiliar with that face, it was the Western Alliance's eldest young lady, Du Qingqing, whom he had encountered once before.

Du Shanhai surveyed the dense Divine Race army all around, not showing the slightest fear. Instead, he grinned and cupped his hands towards the Great Elder and others:

"Everyone, it seems Du didn't arrive too late, glad I didn't miss this spectacle!"

Seeing this, the Great Elder and Xu Pingzhi's eyes instantly burst with joy, quickly returning the salute.

In reality, the Western Alliance arriving at this moment was both unexpected and reasonable.

Du Shanhai was an extremely smart and straightforward man.

Upon receiving the Spirit Alliance's distress call, he hesitated not at all, assembling troops, even using teleportation arrays to rush over.

He understood the principle of shared destiny very well.

Once the Spirit Alliance is defeated, Thunder City's fall would mean the entire Cangling Ancient Country's structure would collapse.

Then, with the Celestial Capital hiding away and the Divine Race rampaging, the next target would inevitably be his Western Alliance.

Rather than waiting for death, it was better to fight together while the Spirit Alliance still stands!

"Father, this is Lin Chen."

At this moment, Du Qingqing walked up to Du Shanhai, pointing at Lin Chen standing in the center, her gaze somewhat complex.

Upon hearing this, Du Shanhai turned his body, his eagle-sharp eyes scanning Lin Chen up and down.

Moments later, he laughed loudly and said:

"Alliance Leader Lin is indeed exceptional, bold and grand!"

"No wonder my Qingqing has been thinking of you ever since she returned, chanting your name by my ear all day. Seeing you today, you truly are an unparalleled prodigy!"

"..."

With these words, the previously tense atmosphere instantly became somewhat odd.

Lin Chen awkwardly touched his nose, unsure of how to respond.

Beside him, Du Qingqing's pretty face blushed, rolled her eyes skyward, and reproached:

"Dad! What are you talking about! We're in the middle of war!"

Though she said this, her gaze remained fixed on Lin Chen, her heart thoroughly shocked.

How long had it been since they last met?

The young man whose cultivation once lagged behind hers, has now grown to the point of leading an alliance, standing equal against the honorary elders of the Divine Race.

The aura he carried was as deep as the sea, even she couldn't fathom it.

Once, she had only heard tales of Lin Chen's deeds, but today, seeing them in person, proved them true.

"Finished reminiscing?!"

At this moment, in the sky, Xuanyuan Cang could no longer bear it.

Looking at the carefree crowd below, he felt unprecedented disrespect and insult.

"What difference does a group of Western savages make? It's nothing but a few more heads to claim!"

"Since you haven't finished speaking, go to hell and slowly chat with the King of Hell!"

Xuanyuan Cang suddenly waved the command flag in his hand, letting out a roar filled with killing intent:

"Whole army, heed my command!"

"Kill without mercy!!!"

Boom—!!!!

At this command, the Divine Race army, already poised for action, surged like a flood breaking its banks.

Countless Divine Beasts roared, earth-shattering, multicolored brilliance of spirit spells dyed the sky, with the power to destroy, fiercely smashing onto Thunder City below!

Lin Chen's smile instantly disappeared from his eyes, replaced by endless battle will.

He raised his arm, exerting his first command as Alliance Leader:

"Everyone, engage the enemy!"

A great battle is about to erupt, this war's scale far surpasses any previous era, though their quantity might not match the Demon Beast era, the quality is unparalleled.

Ordinary Beastmasters are absolutely unqualified to participate in this battle.

Outside Thunder City, a bloody battlefield arose instantly, marking the onset of a legendary battle.

Lin Chen also summoned his Spirit Beast, soaring into the sky.

The high-end battlefield had its own prominent players, Lin Chen led Qin Shaoshao and others towards the four honorary elders.
