Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book Chapter 976 - 680: Ancient Treasure Celestial Secret Cloth, Impatient Zhang Yongxin (Two-in-One)

With the Red Pattern Blood Flame Crystal fully absorbed, flames surged skyward without end, slowly eclipsing the vibrant clouds in the grotto-heaven and turning the entire mountain summit into a blazing Flame Peak.

Breathtaking though the sight was, it relentlessly unleashed horrifying waves of heat.

Ye Jingcheng had to deploy even more powerful Arrays to shield the Spirit Medicines nearby, preventing any damage to them.

This highlighted the sheer intensity of the Red Flame Fox's flame surges at that instant.

Naturally, such scorching heat waves meant nothing to the Three-eyed Demon King or its Three-eyed Race.

They were fire-handling experts themselves, after all.

Yet, the blue flames nestled in the Red Flame Fox’s Five-Colored Flames, which carried a vitality-siphoning aura, left them displaying a stirred spiritual presence.

"Finally about to break through!" Right then, Ye Jingcheng sighed emotionally, his own blood heating up.

Should the Red Flame Fox achieve breakthrough before their trip to the Extreme West Desert Sea, it would vastly improve their chances of success.

Apart from the Three-eyed Race, the other Spirit Beasts within the grotto drew closer to Ye Jingcheng.

In this period, with so many Ye Family members present, Ye Jingcheng handed out minimal Treasure Light, limiting it to the injured ones.

But with Spirit Beast Meat, Ye Jingcheng displayed remarkable generosity.

Most of that Spirit Beast Meat came from Water Attribute Spirit Beast remains, and Ye Jingcheng flung out a generous heap right then.

He shared some with the Three-eyed Demon King and its Great Demons too.

The Three-eyed Demon King accepted without refusal, keeping none for itself and passing it all to its subordinate Great Demons.

"Thank you, Patriarch," it expressed thanks, then kept watching the surroundings.

Ye Jingcheng swiftly departed the grotto, ignoring the Golden Scale Beast's nonstop roars.

This wasn't playtime; the Mammoth Demon King's arrival required extracting a drop of Essence Blood ahead for the Blood Contract.

He could make no errors, particularly with the Golden Scale Beast.

He recognized its anxiety, yet it had to wait patiently for now!

"Three-eyed Demon King, get ready, Dragon Ancestor and some subordinates will be coming," Ye Jingcheng’s voice resounded in the Three-eyed Demon King’s ear once more.

The latter nodded in acknowledgment.

Having been overwhelmed by the alliance of the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon, Two-headed Turtle, and Earth Dragon Demon King, it fully grasped Ye Jingcheng’s intent.

Bound by the Soul Contract, even though it wished to reject, it couldn't and simply nodded.

...

Ye Jingcheng left the grotto, checked for any activity and found none, then kept the Dream-Devouring Worm activating its Dream-devouring Skill.

Indeed, his worries about the future eased considerably.

After all, the Mammoth Demon King stood only at Mid-stage Fourth Tier, and with aid from countless Spirit Beasts, subduing it was within reach.

Following the Earth Dragon Demon King’s strategy, they targeted the rabble-rousers first.

In reality, this Mammoth Demon King shouldn't prove tougher to handle than the Three-eyed Demon King.

So, another day elapsed; amid a barrage of earth-shaking rumbles, a massive Mammoth Long-tusked Elephant lumbered in.

Unlike the Three-eyed Demon King that shifted to human form, this Mammoth Demon King stayed beastly at first, only morphing into humanoid shape under the Earth Dragon Demon King’s annoyed glare.

Even in human form, though, the Mammoth Demon King looked semi-anthropomorphic.

Its nose remained an ivory tusk, skin tinged with yellow.

It appeared somewhat ridiculous.

Still, Ye Jingcheng spotted a hint of naivety on the Mammoth Demon King’s face.

"Brother Long, do you plan to break through here?" The Mammoth Demon King scanned around, puzzlement clear on its honest visage.

After all, Earth Dragon Valley was fair enough, but its Spirit Vein was merely Upper Grade Tier Four, falling short of Peak Tier Four Spiritual Veins.

"Breaking through elsewhere would certainly require a secluded place, but I need to trust you enough, or I can’t let you guard me with peace of mind," spoke the Earth Dragon Demon King.

"How do you gain trust, like humans, by making a pledge?" The Mammoth Demon King showed deep confusion.

"No need for such complications, this is a new Secret Technique I’ve developed, let it enter your body, and once I break through to Tier Five Demon Emperor, I could ensure your safety in the Taihang Mountain Range..." the Earth Dragon Demon King continued.

Its speech overflowed with compelling allure.

Then, it directed Ye Jingcheng’s sent Essence Blood to envelop the Mammoth Demon King’s body.

This Mammoth Demon King clearly outshone the Three-eyed Demon King in simplicity.

Without any resistance, the Essence Blood struck it fully, and by the time awareness hit, Ye Jingcheng had already forged a complete Soul Contract with it.

Its face turned bitterly resentful in a flash.

Gazing toward the Earth Dragon Demon King with utter bewilderment, it clearly failed to grasp why its ally had betrayed it so.

"Mammoth, rest assured, all I’ve promised remains unchanged!" The Earth Dragon Demon King hurriedly declared.

Ye Jingcheng lent his support from nearby.

The Mammoth Demon King’s wits were evidently dimmer, so convincing it didn’t demand much effort or time.

During the next three days, Ye Jingcheng applied the very same trick to Soul Contract the Early Stage Fourth Tier Thunder Roc as well.

The Thunder Roc Demon King, ruler of Cloud Lion Ridge, had allied with the Earth Dragon Demon King for the least duration, rendering it the most vigilant by far.

As it stepped into the Earth Dragon Palace, the beast lingered by the entrance, citing its clumsy transformation abilities as a pretext to shun human shape.

Demons wield far greater might in their true beast forms compared to human guises.

Its suspicion shone through plainly.

Yet, the Thunder Roc Demon King lingered only at Early Stage Fourth Tier.

Armed with Magical Treasures, Ye Jingcheng held strong odds of overpowering it.

With five Demon Kings and a Golden Core True Master at his command now, plus the looming peril of death alongside Ye Jingcheng’s vows, the Thunder Roc Demon King at last surrendered.

This Thunder Roc Demon King’s demands proved astoundingly shrewd too.
