Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book Chapter 1552 - 1128: Sure-Kill Divine Techniques, A Close Call

Spring clouds were inherently long and heavy, rendering the sky incomparably dim. Even Demon-Vanquishing City, perched atop the mountain peak, was shrouded in darkness. With the arrival of the Demon Cultivators, Black Fog permeated the surroundings. Enormous Ghost Banners fluttered in the air. Coupled with the sky-filling wails of ghosts, roars of beasts, and miserable howls, the atmosphere became even more oppressive.

However, following two crisp beastly cries, two tragic, bloodcurdling screams tore through the sky, involuntarily drawing everyone’s gaze. At this moment, the crowd noticed that the entire horizon had been dyed red and white.

On the white side, instead of a soft drizzle falling from the sky, there were sharp Ice Needles. A Flood Dragon soared within. Its massive Flood Dragon Head and Dragon Whiskers swept through the icy rain, carving a fierce and resolute arc. Spiritual Light still lingered in its ferocious, gaping maw, and the faint silhouette of a Nascent Soul could vaguely be seen.

On the red side, cyan-red flames burned with incomparable eeriness in the void. Eight spectral figures of the Five-tailed Red Flame Fox manifested, encircling an enormous furnace. Its gaze continuously darted toward the remaining Nascent Souls, as if it wanted to use its fox eyes and cyan fire to seek out the next target to slaughter.

Ye Jingcheng stood right between the white and the red, holding a vial of Thousand-Year Spiritual Milk and pouring it into his mouth. For a moment, the world seemed to hit pause for Ye Jingcheng, the Red Flame Fox, and the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon. Even the cultivators of the Righteous Sects found it somewhat unbelievable. This was especially true for True Monarch Min Yue, who had been trapped by True Monarch Gui Xuan. He had hurried over, only to witness this staggering scene.

In front of Demon-Vanquishing City, the tide of offense and defense had completely reversed. The Demon Sect’s ten Nascent Souls had been reduced to seven, whereas the Righteous Sects’ Nascent Soul Combat Power had increased to eight. Moreover, this included True Monarch Min Yue, who was at the Middle Stage of Nascent Soul, and the sheer anomaly that was Ye Jingcheng. After all, Ye Jingcheng had just slain True Monarch Gui Xuan, a cultivator at the Middle Stage of Nascent Soul, and then annihilated two others at the Early Stage of Nascent Soul in the blink of an eye. Even an expert at the Late Stage of Nascent Soul could not accomplish such a feat effortlessly. Yet, this scene had genuinely unfolded right before their very eyes.

Ye Jingcheng’s eyes narrowed, his gaze locking onto the remaining Nascent Souls. Slaying a Nascent Soul cultivator was considered a monumental achievement by the Righteous Sects, and there was no requirement to hand over the spoils of war. Since he had already offended the Profound Celestial Sect and the Penglai Sect, he didn’t mind offending them a little more.

However, he slightly overestimated the mental fortitude of these Nascent Souls affiliated with the Profound Celestial Demon Sect. Before his Secret Technique could even land, the Nascent Soul closest to him had already transformed into a streak of blood light and vanished into the void. Even Jiang Daorong’s deployment of a Spirit Treasure failed to strike its mark.

With one person fleeing, the remaining six also scattered like startled birds and beasts. They had merely been assembled by the Profound Celestial Demon Sect. They didn’t harbor any irreconcilable blood feuds with the defenders, nor were they willing to share life and death with one another. In particular, the last Nascent Soul cultivator held off by Wang Ke Wei directly executed the Chain Blood Escape. Terrified of being enveloped by Wang Ke Wei’s Array, he vanished without a trace in an instant.

Only the Moon Thunder Bead Magical Treasure, unleashed by True Monarch Min Yue, managed to trap a Poison Cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage. Cold light flashed in this Nascent Soul Cultivator’s eyes. He cursed under his breath, but his hands dared not delay. As he activated a Secret Technique, his body bizarrely transformed into a dense swarm of tiny Spirit Insects that scattered in all directions. Every single Spirit Insect could potentially be his true body, or none of them might be. Even Ye Jingcheng’s Star Illusion Eye struggled to discern the truth.

However, True Monarch Min Yue’s Moon Thunder Bead possessed more than just trapping abilities. As Thunder Light surged violently, a figure stumbled out of the void. It was precisely the fleeing True Monarch Miao Chong.

"Impossible! How could you break my Thousand Insect Shadow Escape Technique?!" True Monarch Miao Chong’s face was etched with sheer disbelief. The ingenuity of his Insect Escape Technique lay in the fact that none of the Spirit Insects were him; rather, he was concealed within the abdominal cavities of several Insect Generals hidden among the swarm. Furthermore, the spatial cavities of these Insect Generals could interconnect, making the technique incredibly enigmatic.

"My Moon Thunder Bead is a replicated Magical Treasure modeled after the Moon Spirit Bead Spirit Treasure. How could a mere Escape Technique possibly evade it?" True Monarch Min Yue scoffed coldly. Having been suppressed and trapped by True Monarch Gui Xuan earlier, he had already bottled up a belly full of rage. Now that he finally had an outlet to vent his anger, how could he possibly let his target escape? A Flying Scythe materialized in his hand. With a forceful throw, he aimed straight to sever True Monarch Miao Chong’s head.

"Go!" True Monarch Miao Chong roared in anger and fear, his hands never ceasing their movements. He slapped his waist, and instantly, six streaks of radiant Golden Light abruptly burst forth.

Following a loud CLANG CLANG CLANG, six Six-winged Golden-winged Mantises revealed themselves. Each of these mantises was calf-sized and shimmering with golden light. Their golden Lang Sabers were exceptionally sharp, managing to withstand even a Tier Five Magical Treasure.

"To think they are Six-winged Golden-winged Mantises at the Tier Four Peak!" In the distance, even Ye Jingcheng couldn’t help but reveal an enticed expression. According to some insect records of the Ye Family, the Lang Sabers of these mantises could slice through iron as if it were mud. Coupled with their astonishing speed, they were among the most terrifying predatory Spirit Insects. At their pinnacle, they could similarly reach the level of a Tier Five Demon Emperor.

His body swiftly closed in, joining the Five-tailed Demon Fox and the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon to encircle the enemy. Ye Jingcheng was quite intrigued by this True Monarch Miao Chong. A cultivator’s Beast Pets were generally difficult to tame a second time, but for Spirit Insects, Ye Jingcheng didn’t need to tame them—he only needed them to breed once under his influence.

"Watch out!" A deep, sonorous voice suddenly rang in his mind. Ye Jingcheng’s entire body tensed, the hairs on the back of his neck standing on end. His charging momentum abruptly halted, and he frantically retreated. Beneath his feet, the clan’s Secret Technique Profound Wind Spirit Step was pushed to its absolute limit. Dazzling golden light began to illuminate his body. At this moment, fueled by the Secret Technique, his Body Cultivation at the Late Stage of Golden Core surged to the Golden Core Peak.
