Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book Chapter 994 - 691: Blood Stains the Vast Sky, Array Breaks the Earth (Combined - , 5,000 Words)

Loose cultivators simply cannot be compared to them.

At this particular moment, due to the sheer volume of spells and magical artifacts unleashed, even the formidable Armor-Piercing Beast and the Earth Lizard Great Demon found themselves unable to withstand the onslaught.

It was a stroke of fortune that the Thunder Rhinoceros Insect managed to erect the Heaven-Opening Divine Drum Array, unleashing a torrent of thunderbolts!

Only then did the pressure they were under diminish considerably.

...

Meanwhile, on another front, Ye Xuefan was at the forefront, commanding a significant contingent of Mammoth Elephant Great Demons!

These colossal beasts also charged toward the city gates and the protective spiritual shield.

The defining characteristic of the Mammoth Elephant Great Demon is its immense, hill-like stature, combined with an overwhelming, irresistible force.

Their massive, elongated tusks serve as the most terrifying divine artifacts capable of shattering formations.

This assault also galvanized numerous cultivators from both the Zhang and Jia families to mount a defense.

Even now, a multitude of Gu Puppets surged forward.

These Gu Puppets infiltrated the mammoth elephant ranks and detonated, transforming into vast clouds of bloody mist.

While this blood mist posed less of a threat to the Great Demons, it proved fatal for Tier Two Demon Beasts and Foundation Establishment Cultivators who inhaled it, causing them to explode.

Even Ye Xuefan’s pupils contracted in shock upon witnessing this gruesome spectacle.

"Retreat! The Thunder Roc Race advances first!" To counter these Gu Corpses effectively, only the Thunder Roc Great Demons of their race could take the lead.

As streaks of thunderous light appeared, the Jia family astutely deployed their own beast puppets in response.

At this very moment, the Ye Clan was not only enduring heavy casualties among their own members but also failing to gain any significant advantage.

...

Finally, Ye Haicheng led a considerable number of body cultivators from the Ye Clan.

These Ye Clan body cultivators immediately commenced spirit cultivation.

High above, the Celestial Secret Cloth was deployed, which, once Zhang Jia was successfully eliminated, would ensure their lack of fear regarding exposure.

Dozens of combatants, blending spirit cultivation with a brutal, dominant physique, charged forth, generating a formidable momentum.

Furthermore, Ye Jingcheng’s Golden Scale Beast, the Five-Colored Cloud Deer, and the Golden Falcon were present, exerting a significant impact at this critical juncture.

The Golden Scale Beast, in particular, when it raised its claws, enveloped all the nearby clan members within a dazzling, golden Mountain-Opening Cloud Shield.

At the location of the array’s spiritual shield, a terrifying barrage of earth spikes erupted continuously.

These spikes caused the spiritual shield to crackle and emit a series of explosive sounds.

Many cultivators immediately attempted to fall back to rally reinforcements, but before they could succeed, the Five-Colored Cloud Deer let out a deep exhalation.

With the undulation of blood qi, countless cultivators trembled, almost losing their footing in the sky.

While the Five-Colored Cloud Deer’s effect was less potent against those with higher cultivation bases, it proved exceedingly powerful against these Tier Two and Tier Three cultivators.

Accompanying the Golden Falcon’s high-altitude dive, dozens of golden sword projections rained down in succession.

At this moment, the Golden Falcon fought as if it were a sword cultivator itself.

One sword strike felled one person; ten sword strikes felled ten people!

The Ye Family members finally breached the spiritual shield.

Each one retrieved a storage bag. Suddenly, a vast number of single-use blood corpses materialized near the spiritual shield. These blood corpses, bodies resembling blood puppets and slightly emaciated yet crimson red, charged toward the spiritual shield.

Although they lacked substantial individual strength,

the resulting explosion of blood mist clung to the spiritual shield.

Instantly, a small section was stained.

However, if one blood corpse could contaminate a small area, there were now a full thirty thousand blood corpses!

The spiritual shield was visibly on the verge of dissolution.

This alarming development struck immense fear into the hearts of the Zhang and Jia families.

With the spiritual shield shattered, their most significant advantage would vanish.

At this critical juncture, Zhang Taichu’s gaze suddenly fell upon the unfolding scene.

It appeared he had long foreseen the Ye Family’s capability to breach the array, having deliberately prepared a contingency: a palm-sized spirit talisman.

This spirit talisman was not merely Tier Two or Tier Three, but a formidable Tier Four Spirit Talisman!

Its name was Eternal Frost Fury!

The spirit talisman transformed into a brilliant white light, instantly freezing the bloody radiance emanating from the thirty thousand blood corpses.

The Ye Family members were consequently forced to retreat in frantic haste.

The power of this Tier Four Spirit Talisman was terrifyingly potent; succumbing to the freezing could very well mean immediate death.

Fortunately, at this precise moment, Ye Jingcheng also unleashed the Fire Spirit Secret Technique.

As the Vermilion Bird Burning Heaven technique manifested, a Vermilion Bird emerged, igniting the encroaching ice frost. However, the array itself had already begun to restore itself halfway.

Most grand arrays possess automatic recovery capabilities.

As long as there is sufficient spiritual energy, theoretically, regardless of the damage sustained, they can regenerate.

The Thick Earth Yellow Dragon Array stood as a premier formation among them.

All thirty thousand blood corpses had been sacrificed in vain.

Ye Jingcheng continued to brandish the Golden Glaze Sword, ceaselessly striking towards Zhang Taichu.

This very Golden Glaze Sword, originally Zhang Yongxin’s treasured artifact, was now wielded by Ye Jingcheng, igniting Zhang Taichu’s unbridled fury!

"You are seeking your own demise!" Zhang Taichu, while controlling the array, conjured a Yellow Dragon Spirit Shadow of the Fourth Tier, Early Stage.

It surged directly towards Ye Jingcheng.

Concurrently, his Ancient Bronze Mirror was trained upon the Golden Falcon and the Golden Scale Beast.

Clearly, he had recognized that without the protective presence of the Golden Falcon and Golden Scale Beast, no matter how formidable the Ye Clan’s body cultivators might be, they would be incapable of breaching the array.

As expected, once enveloped by the golden luminescence, the Golden Scale Beast and the Golden Falcon were rendered immobile. With only the Five-Colored Cloud Deer remaining, it proved impossible to prevent the cultivators from the Zhang and Jia families from advancing.

However, sensing its inability to manipulate the cultivators' blood Qi through its nose, the Five-Colored Cloud Deer violently shook its body, unleashing six late-stage Third Tier Wood Puppets. These puppets sprang forth, intercepting a multitude of magical artifacts.

For every Wood Puppet that fell, the Five-Colored Cloud Deer would activate new ones in its stead.

Consequently, the Ye Clan’s cultivators managed to close the distance once more.

This time, they deployed a grand total of seventy thousand blood corpses, an even greater number than before.

This escalation provoked Zhang Taichu’s wrath to its absolute zenith.

He unleashed another spirit talisman in conjunction with a magical treasure!

This particular spirit talisman was not of the ice attribute; rather, it was a Fourth Tier Thunder Attribute Spirit Talisman, accompanied by the Fourth Tier magical treasure, the Black Fire Lamp.

His clear intention was to obliterate both the blood corpses and the Ye Family members controlling them in a single, devastating blow.

He remained vigilant against any potential clandestine techniques Ye Jingcheng might employ.

Therefore, he resorted to employing an additional magical treasure.

The ensuing result unfolded precisely as he had foreseen.

Within the void, a colossal Qilin Profound Earth True Hall materialized.

It exerted pressure upon the Fourth Tier Thunder Attribute Secret Technique while simultaneously engaging the Black Fire Lamp with its Qilin Spirit Shadow.

Although the Black Fire Lamp managed to consume the Qilin Spirit Shadow, it was met with resistance from a Void Profound Bottle, which disseminated Void Profound Magical Light.

The Ye Family members seized this opportune moment to effect a swift and distant retreat.

This allowed Zhang Taichu a moment of respite, a chance to exhale in relief.

The continuous exertion of controlling the array and maintaining its defense had undoubtedly taxed his heart spirit, and they perceived that the Ye Family had thus far only vanquished tens of thousands of normal individuals.

It appeared that these blood corpses represented the extent of their current capability.

But suddenly, his eyes snapped wide open in astonishment!

His gaze fixed, startled, upon the location of the Mammoth Elephant Great Demon.

An immense peach tree, stretching a hundred meters into the sky, had arisen unbeknownst to them.

Its myriad roots plunged towards the spiritual shield.

The previously impregnable spiritual shield proved no match for these roots; they pierced through it as if it were mere bubbles.

This breach created countless massive apertures!

These holes were irreparable and continued to expand.

The most critical factor was not merely one or two such breaches, but hundreds, even thousands, of locations were compromised.

The Mammoth Elephant Great Demons immediately surged through these openings, transforming the array into something akin to an open gateway, stripping it of all defensive capabilities and causing it to dissipate into spiritual light, fragmenting incessantly.

At this juncture, he was overcome by an acute sense of powerlessness; having already invoked two Fourth Tier spirit talismans, he possessed no further Fourth Tier spirit talismans at his disposal.

Furthermore, Ye Jingcheng relentlessly continued his assault, wielding the Golden Glaze Sword and slashing towards him!

The Mammoth Elephant Great Demons surged with great speed into these newly formed breaches.

The spiritual shield lay shattered!

However, despite the majority of the spiritual shield's destruction, the array itself had not yet dissolved, and the Yellow Dragon in the heavens still loomed.

Numerous array foundations were laid bare.

It was evident that the Thick Earth Yellow Dragon Array necessitated the destruction of multiple foundations to cause the Yellow Dragon Spirit Shadow to vanish, in addition to breaching the Thick Earth Spiritual Shield.

But at this precise moment, Zhang Taichu harbored the chilling certainty that the Ye Family undoubtedly possessed additional stratagems!

Precisely as he had surmised, among those who had penetrated the defenses, Ye Xuefan's eyes began to gleam with spiritual light. He cast aside his spirit beast bag, summoning forth a Jade Qilin Flood Dragon exceeding thirty meters in length. This colossal beast executed an immense Profound Yuan Cold Burst.

Following the intense cold burst, a Red Flame Fox emerged. It transformed into eight distinct figures and rapidly advanced towards eight separate array foundations.

Previously, the Earth Dragon Demon King had made estimations concerning Zhang Taichu.

At this moment, the focus shifted, with Zhang Taichu now attempting to ascertain the true Red Flame Fox.

Of course, advancing alongside were two cultivators at the Fake Pill stage and over ten Spirit Puppets at the Third Tier Peak.

These represented the final desperate measures of the Zhang and Jia families.

But at this critical juncture, the two Fake Pill cultivators found themselves utterly bewildered, incapable of distinguishing the genuine Red Flame Fox amidst the decoys!
