Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book Chapter 993 - 691: Blood-Stained Sky, Array-Shattering Earth
Previously on Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book...
The Three-eyed Demon King intended to lend aid to the Earth Dragon Demon King.
However, from out of nowhere, the Yellow Dragon within the Thick Earth Yellow Dragon Array let out a thunderous roar and broke free, hurtling directly towards the Three-eyed Demon King.
The colossal shadow of the Yellow Dragon was not a corporeal form, so even when the Three-eyed Demon King unleashed his third eye, projecting the Black Flame Phoenix Shadow to incinerate the Yellow Dragon Spirit Shadow, it proved utterly futile.
It was even impacted by the golden radiance expelled by the Yellow Dragon, which sculpted a colossal Yellow Dragon Mountain, subsequently crashing down upon the Three-eyed Demon King.
Having expended its Soul Flame, the Three-eyed Demon King was caught completely unaware and was driven into the earth, only managing to resurface after a considerable effort of clawing through the solid rock.
In stark contrast to the Three-eyed Demon King’s dire situation, the Yellow Dragon Shadow reappeared far away within the Longxing Oasis.
It drew in a vast quantity of spiritual energy from the oasis, rapidly replenishing the Yellow Dragon Spirit Shadow’s spiritual body and rendering it seemingly more formidable than before.
The Thunder Roc Demon King and the Mammoth Demon King were, without question, facing complete and utter disadvantage.
It was at this juncture that Ye Jingcheng intervened; his focus was unquestionably set upon the array formation itself.
Still, he could not permit the Earth Dragon Demon King to fall into peril. His Void Profound Bottle was suddenly dispatched towards a distant point.
The intended target was precisely the Golden Roar Spear.
Nevertheless, the usually infallible Void Profound Magical Light was completely nullified by the Golden Roar Spear on this particular occasion.
The middle-grade Tier Four magical treasure demonstrated a slight deficiency in power.
Fortunately, despite the lack of immediate effectiveness, it caused the Golden Roar Spear to falter, enabling the Earth Dragon Demon King, with its exceptionally robust physical form, to execute a narrow leap, evading what would have been dozens of explosive spear strikes.
Ye Jingcheng’s countenance grew exceedingly somber at this moment, compelling him to deploy the Double-headed Turtle Demon King.
This was done to counteract Jia Zehai’s insidious ambush of the Thunder Roc Demon King.
Jia Zehai, functioning as a puppet cultivator, theoretically should have possessed limited independent capabilities, especially considering he commanded two Tier Four Spirit Puppets; however, his divine sense was remarkably potent.
He periodically produced two magical artifacts to launch surprise attacks against the Thunder Roc Demon King.
Had it not been for the timely appearance of the Double-headed Turtle Demon King, absorbing a direct blow, the Ye Clan might have suffered the initial casualty among the Golden Core combatants.
However, this action by Ye Jingcheng significantly curtailed his capacity to dismantle the array.
Furthermore, the Zhang Family capitalized on the array's advantageous position, their bodies rendered impervious, strategically selecting weaker adversaries.
The Blood Puppet confronting the Filthy Mammoth Demon King, the Yellow Dragon engaging the Soul Flame-wielding Three-eyed Demon King, the Wood Puppet fighting the Thunder Peng Demon King, and Zhang Taiji holding back the Earth Dragon Demon King.
The Ye Clan found themselves compelled to respond in kind.
This was precisely why Ye Jingcheng had hesitated to launch an all-out assault from the outset.
Without successfully disabling the array, a reprisal was virtually assured.
"No more prevarication! All demon beasts, great demons, advance!" Ye Jingcheng bellowed furiously.
The remaining members of the Ye Clan, alongside the Tier Three Great Demons and Tier Two Demon Beasts, immediately broke off their engagement with the demon kings and Golden Core cultivators, surging towards the oasis walls from various points within Longxing Oasis.
Concurrently, the cultivators of the Jia and Zhang Families, residing in the Purple Mansion and Foundation Establishment stages, emerged from the city's gates.
At this critical juncture, every individual's contribution was vital.
After all, should the Ye Clan's Purple Mansion and Foundation Establishment cultivators manage to produce a sufficient number of array-breaking talismans, thereby disrupting the array and severing its foundational connection, the absence of the Yellow Dragon from the Thick Earth Yellow Dragon Array would liberate the Ye Clan’s Three-eyed Demon King.
At this precise moment, Ye Haicheng, Ye Haisheng, and Ye Xuefan pressed forward, initiating breakthroughs from three distinct vectors.
Naturally, the vanguard of this offensive was still comprised of those thirty-nine Great Demons.
These Great Demons were affiliated with the three demon kings rather than being spirit beasts of the Ye Clan, thus the Ye Clan felt less reservation in their deployment.
Among this contingent, the most ferocious was undoubtedly the Three-Eyed Demon Roc, whose Soul Flame was not exclusive to the Three-eyed Demon King.
"These mortals..." Ye Haisheng’s gaze landed upon the three to four hundred thousand mortals assembled in the distance.
He found himself positioned precisely where these mortals were concentrated.
These mortals were engaged in supplication, kneeling and imploring the Ye Clan and the demon beasts to spare their lives.
"I am not like Jingcheng; my hands can be stained with blood, and I shall bear the infamy for generations to come!" Ye Haisheng declared loudly.
Diverging from Ye Jingcheng, who had decimated merely ten thousand core members of the Zhang Family,
Ye Haisheng instead unleashed a sword strike directly towards these assembled mortals.
The sword light rampaged, countless mortals died tragically. Simultaneously, numerous human puppets were revealed amongst the fallen. These puppets, much like the ones disguised as sand worms, were astonishingly lifelike. Exposed now, over a thousand puppets immediately charged furiously at the Ye Clan members. "Hai Feng!" At this critical juncture, someone emerged from behind Ye Haisheng, holding Ye Jingcheng’s Spirit Beast Bag. Upon activation, one hundred fifty tier two Thunder Rhinoceros Insects were unleashed. These insects were at least early stage tier two, with many in the mid-stage, a few in the late stage, and their Insect King reigned at the peak of tier two. Myriad thunder light spread, forming an overwhelming Thunder Net that descended. Over a thousand tier one and two spirit puppets were instantly annihilated by the thunder! Concurrently, from above, the Fire-Devouring Sparrow and Fire Cloud Bird spat spiritual fire downward, ensuring not a single spirit puppet remained. Ye Haisheng charged towards the array once more! Witnessing the swarm of Thunder Rhinoceros Insects and numerous Great Demons approaching, the Zhang Family members also converged on this location. As anticipated, nearly every Ye Clan member possessed an array-breaking talisman. However, most of these talismans were tier two, a small number were tier three, and almost none reached tier four. Consequently, the hundreds of Zhang and Jia Family members who arrived managed to intercept the majority of them. Only a sparse few talismans struck the array, their impact barely causing a ripple. In stark contrast, numerous Demon Beasts perished under the onslaught of spiritual light and magical artifacts. The Zhang Family’s extensive development is evident; their wealth is formidable. Each family member wielded two to three magical artifacts, all emitting powerful spiritual light and demonstrating formidable strength!
