Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book Chapter 983 - 684: The Turtle Ancestor’s Arithmetic, Great Victory at Jiaxing Pass (Double-Length)

The raging Spirit Water and Profound Cold Ice Fury fully merged, plunging the entire world into an even deeper chill.

In the sky, a Black Tortoise phantom materialized, akin to a True Spirit, growing denser and more nimble. It lifted its paw like a heavenly deity poised to unleash divine retribution!

Furthermore, the massive Mountain Prison from the Earth Dragon Demon King, the ferocious Black Flames of the Three-eyed Demon King, and the thickly interlaced Thunder Feathers of the colossal Thunder Roc assaulted as well.

The whole Border City Oasis had been completely morphed into a purgatory of Spiritual Light.

Cultivators at Foundation Establishment and Qi Cultivation stages couldn't endure it in the slightest.

Some perished without even a moment to cry out in agony.

Jia Mingxuan managed a response, but as just a lone Purple Mansion Cultivator, he summoned three layers of Tier Three Magical Treasure barriers.

Still, the Flood Dragon Claw's blow instantly pulverized him into bloody pulp.

In his dying instant, one question haunted him: how had the Zhang Family and Jia Family offended these Demon Kings...

Ye Jingcheng felt equally baffled by the spectacle unfolding before him.

After all, only ten breaths had ticked by, yet they should have detected the disturbance long ago.

Why had no Golden Core Cultivator emerged to confront them?

Right then, Ye Jingcheng even questioned if the Zhang Family and Jia Family each had merely one Golden Core, explaining such a scenario.

Not just Ye Jingcheng stood stunned; Ye Xuefan, Ye Haicheng, the others, and even the Demon Kings were shocked too.

They had braced for a brutal showdown.

Yet through his Star Illusion Eye, Ye Jingcheng then glimpsed a figure in a far-off pavilion, who shattered it to appear in the void.

This individual donned a loose-fitting Magic Robe.

Blood flushed his face, with fresh crimson still trickling from the edges of his mouth.

Evidently, his seclusion had been rudely cut short, triggering a harsh backlash.

"Who are you..." He belonged to the Jia Family—Jia Zeyuan, Middle Stage of Golden Core.

Spotting the swarm of Demon Kings, he retreated at once; his horrifying speed betrayed a Body Cultivator, surpassing even the Earth Dragon Demon King.

Dubbed the Martial Fool, he held no delusions of battling six Demon Kings and a fellow Golden Core solo.

Escape proved impossible at this juncture.

A colossal Mountain Prison first surged from the earth.

It shifted into four towering peaks, firmly caging Jia Zeyuan within.

Simultaneously, a Qilin Profound Earth True Hall crashed down atop the Mountain Prison.

This stemmed from the flawless synergy between Ye Jingcheng and the Earth Dragon Demon King.

Dreadful Gravity Profound Light bore down, as a Qilin Spirit Shadow lunged to crush Jia Zeyuan.

Yet Jia Zeyuan's fist gleamed with Profound Iron radiance, shockingly demolishing the Mountain Prison in one punch and breaking loose.

"This is..." Ye Jingcheng felt profound astonishment.

"He refined part of his body into a puppet, truly a ruthless character!" The Earth Dragon Demon King spotted it clearly: though Jia Zeyuan lingered at Middle Stage Golden Core, his fighting strength rivaled Late Stage Golden Core.

Indeed, his arm matched a Tier Four High Grade Magical Artifact, and he could infuse it with power via Spirit Stones.

"Roar!"

Upon his breakout, the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon shot upward, clashing in melee with Flood Dragon Claws and Flood Dragon Tail together.

However, the Jade Qilin, leaning on innate gifts, faltered somewhat in close combat.

It suffered constant suppression and got punched flying.

Countless Flood Dragon Scales flew apart.

The Three-eyed Demon King spat forth his Lifebound Fire Phoenix anew.

The Two-headed Turtle's Wood Head unleashed myriad Sea Vines.

The Thunder Roc Demon King and Mammoth Demon King pressed ahead once more.

Under this barrage, no matter Jia Zeyuan's prowess, he floundered now, barely dodging via sheer speed.

"His boots are also Tier Four Spiritual Treasure!" Ye Jingcheng discerned in that instant.

Demon Kings trail cultivators mainly in magical treasures. Upon hitting Golden Core, humans often craft Lifebound Magical Treasures, but the Demon Race mostly fortifies their bodies.

Barring Demon Beasts of exceptionally mighty bloodlines, most bolstered Demon physiques still lag behind Lifebound Magical Treasures.

Ye Jingcheng then drew out the Void Profound Bottle.

For such swift opponents, suppressive Magical Treasures offer the best utility.

As the bottle dropped down, Void Profound Magical Light shrouded Jia Zeyuan entirely, binding him tight with its Spiritual Light.

Right then, the Earth Dragon Demon King barreled forward too, thrusting Jia Zeyuan into desperate peril as Spirit Talismans and artifacts hurled toward him in frenzy.

Yet after multiple earlier围攻s, the Demon Kings had sharpened their skills greatly, shedding their prior clumsiness and delays.

In the end, the Earth Dragon Demon King grasped the moment, tearing Jia Zeyuan’s head free in a gush of blood.

Jia Zeyuan’s death brought sighs of relief from the entire group.

Ye Jingcheng then wielded the Spirit-Slaying Sword Technique once more, cleaving the nearby Teleportation Array and stowing it within his Grotto Heaven.

Ye Jingcheng figured the Zhang Family and Jia Family members wouldn’t return here.

After all, with three Golden Cores now slain, weak foes wouldn’t dare come to their doom.

Should enemies prove overwhelmingly mighty, remaining here spelled grave danger.

Having secured both Teleportation Arrays, they now held the clear advantage.

Before, the Ye Family’s lack of Teleportation Arrays left them vulnerable, but now fortunes reversed, trading places in superiority.

The Ye Family contingent carried no mortals or hindrances; every person and Demon King could traverse via his Grotto Heaven.

Enemy flight? Ye Jingcheng dismissed the thought.

Their Spirit Vein stood at minimum Tier Four Top-Grade, far too vital to abandon or shift.

Defending that Spirit Vein became their sole desperate stand.

"Jingcheng, no survivors remain—the Miner Cultivators froze to death!" Ye Xuefan said helplessly at that point.

This outcome stunned them; from the outset, they’d unleashed full fury.

They hadn’t foreseen such negligence from the Zhang Family and Jia Family.

"This small Lower Grade Spirit Stone Ore can later be mined by Clan members and mortal Martial Artists!" Ye Xuefan continued.

Unlike Middle-grade Spirit Stone Ores demanding only cultivators, Lower Grade Spirit Stone Ores suit Martial Artists armed with keen tools, best paired with mining Spirit Beasts.

Gold-devouring Rats or Mountain-devouring Rats prove ideal for the task, albeit under strict cultivator watch.

Without oversight, Mountain-devouring Rats would chomp rocks relentlessly with loud crunches.

"Yes, Uncle Xuefan, this triumph is massive—let’s now refine magical treasures, consolidate our gains, and probe Zhang Family and Jia Family forces. Without Nascent Souls, our clan’s prospects soar!" Ye Jingcheng nodded with thrill.

Endless yellow sands and vast desert stretched before them.

Yet in that instant, beauty stirred within their hearts.

Having swept up all Jiaxing Pass treasures—storage bags and Corpse Spirit Stones alike—Ye Jingcheng unleashed his Grotto Heaven anew, donned a miner’s disguise effortlessly, and ventured toward the closest oasis.
