Beast Taming Clan: I Have a Jade Book

Chapter 985: Chapter 686: Red Flame Fox’s Breakthrough and Stinginess (Monthly Ticket Request)

In the Desert Sea, endless yellow sand howled as it was swept up by the wind, like a terrifying sandstorm.

At this moment, beneath the yellow sand, with a flash of yellow light, a figure was shooting forward at high speed.

“This spot is pretty high. Let’s do it here.” Ye Jingcheng muttered, then began taking out Arrays.

As several Array Banners were planted, streams of Spiritual Light immediately appeared, dispersing countless grains of sand and dust.

In the Desert Sea, one must not stay in subsided sand valleys; it was far too easy for them to rise with the wind and be buried by sand.

Once the Array was set up, Ye Jingcheng waved his hand, and a Heaven-Reaching Stone flew into the very center, buried partially into the sand. He also summoned Ye Xuefan, Ye Haicheng, and the others.

Along the way, Ye Jingcheng also released the not-so-familiar Mammoth Demon King and Thunder Roc Demon King.

After all, the other Demon Kings were far too conspicuous.

Leaving them in the Grotto Heaven to strike the enemy off guard at any time was the best choice.

This time, the distance Ye Jingcheng had actually traveled out wasn’t very far, since the Red Flame Fox was about to break through and would have to face Thunder Tribulation.

Facing Thunder Tribulation inside the Grotto Heaven was obviously inappropriate.

Only out here in this Desert Sea was there truly limitless space.

If the Zhang Jia factions could chase out here, Ye Jingcheng would be even more satisfied.

That would mean they wouldn’t have to face the opponent’s Array and could further weaken them.

But Ye Jingcheng estimated the other side wouldn’t come out.

At most, they would probably just send some Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining cultivators, or even Flying Puppets to scout.

So once the Arrays were arranged, Ye Jingcheng also placed the Ancient Treasure Celestial Secret Cloth to the side.

He watched as the Celestial Secret Cloth rose into the air, shrouding a radius of over a hundred li around them. With that, the Zhang Jia factions naturally couldn’t observe from long range.

It was just that the True Essence consumption of the Ancient Treasure was not small. Before, when the Earth Dragon Demon King controlled it, Ye Jingcheng didn’t feel it, but now that he was controlling it himself, he realized that while the Ancient Treasure was indeed useful, it had plenty of drawbacks.

As Ye Xuefan, Ye Haiyan, and the others began to lay down Arrays, Ye Jingcheng took out the Red Flame Fox.

The moment the Red Flame Fox appeared, it was like a living volcano erupting in the desert.

The temperature suddenly soared, and only now did Ye Jingcheng truly see the Red Flame Fox’s current state clearly.

Its body had recovered to its original size, likewise incomparably huge, no smaller than an ordinary wooden house. Its four tails stood tall and swayed ceaselessly in the wind, each one wreathed in Five-Colored Flames—beautiful yet terrifying.

At the same time, at its brow, the net that could control all Spiritual Fire had become completely distinct. It was no longer a simple web, but clearly the Spirit Shadow of a fire furnace.

Within that Spirit Shadow, the Five-Colored Flames each occupied their own space. The densest among them was still the Cyan Yang Flame, which took up nearly half the area, followed by the Purple Fire Heart Flame and other Spiritual Fires.

The Red Flame Fox’s pair of Spiritual Eyes shone bright and spirited as it raised its head toward the sky.

Up in the sky, Thunderclouds had already begun to gather.

In the blink of an eye, dark clouds massed, completely blotting out the heavens.

“Many thanks, Master!” A clear, pleasant voice rang out.

The Red Flame Fox looked toward Ye Jingcheng; when their gazes met, it let out two crisp cries.

Then it turned back to the sky and began to prepare.

Unlike the other Spirit Beasts, the Red Flame Fox was actually the weakest in terms of physique among Ye Jingcheng’s Spirit Beasts.

If it tried to endure the Thunder Tribulation head-on, there was a real risk of dying.

So it had to use Fire Techniques to clash against and weaken the Tribulation Lightning.

As the Thunderclouds churned, Ye Jingcheng also began to gauge their scope. He quickly discovered that the area of this Thundercloud was much wider than Ye Xuecang’s, and not much smaller than his own, though still narrower than the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon’s.

Judging from that, the Red Flame Fox’s Thunder Tribulation would be at least four or five bolts, since Demon Beasts had one more than cultivators.

The reason Ye Jingcheng couldn’t estimate it precisely was because that Jade Qilin Flood Dragon was too greedy; it had actually flown into the Thundercloud itself to feast.

The damage it suffered from the Tribulation was naturally terrifying, but that also caused the Thunder Tribulation to be less condensed, making it even harder to see how many bolts there really were.

Of course, that method was something only the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon could try.

Even a Golden Core Body Cultivator probably wouldn’t dare.

“There are even Demon Beasts!” After inspecting the Thunderclouds, Ye Jingcheng’s Divine Sense also noticed a number of Demon Beasts in the distance.

They all seemed to have been drawn over by the Thunder Tribulation.

Most of them were Tier One and Tier Two Demon Beasts, mainly various Sand Worm types.

Such as Earth Lizards, Sand Scorpions, Sand Beetles, and so on.

Ye Jingcheng even saw a few Earthworms, which made his gaze burn hot.

Earthworms could produce Spiritual Soil, which was likewise extremely important to the Ye Family.

In particular, Earthworms were extremely rare; they weren’t common even in the Taihang Mountain Range, and he hadn’t expected to find them in this desert.

Ye Jingcheng even felt that there might be an Underground Spiritual Vein nearby; otherwise, there was no way so many Sand Worm Demon Beasts could survive here.

“Grand-uncle, everyone—kill all these Demon Beasts. Be careful of Beast Puppets among them. As for those Earthworms that can produce Spiritual Soil, capture them alive if you can!” Ye Jingcheng ordered.

The rest of the Ye Clan had long been unable to hold back, and now they all surged out, especially the Earth Attribute Cultivators; in the desert, their Combat Power could increase significantly.

In the distance, a flying bird also appeared.

Those birds made Ye Jingcheng’s eyes blaze.

Among them was even a Golden Roc Great Demon sweeping in.

This was the first Great Demon Ye Jingcheng had seen here.

He wasn’t surprised by this Great Demon; at the far end of the Desert Sea lay an enormous grassland, and beyond that grassland were endless great mountains.

He just didn’t know whether those endless mountains were connected to the Taihang Mountain Range.

But for the Ye Family, if they had Nascent Soul Combat Power in the future, they could also expand toward the grasslands and mountains.

And this Golden Roc obviously had no low talent, though its age should be fairly high; otherwise, Ye Jingcheng’s Treasure Book would have lit up with Treasure Light.

As for these Great Demons, Ye Jingcheng naturally wouldn’t turn any of them away; the Ye Family just happened to be lacking some Beast Souls.

Of course, Ye Jingcheng didn’t strike himself, but instead released his own Golden Falcon.

The Golden Falcon was now in the Late Stage of Third Tier, not far from Tier Three Peak. If it devoured this Golden Roc’s Inner Core, it might very well break through to Tier Three Peak.

Boom!

While Ye Jingcheng was observing, the first bolt of heavenly lightning finally descended from the sky.

As the lightning fell, the Red Flame Fox was the first to spit out Cyan Yang Flame.

This Cyan Yang Flame no longer took the shape of a Fireball, but instead turned into a net, actually wrapping around that thigh-thick Thunder Spear.

The Cyan Yang Flame burned incessantly, actually absorbing the Vitality within the lightning and blazing ever stronger.

The sight made Ye Jingcheng’s eyes widen.

He even began to look forward to the Cyan Yang Flame burning the Thundercloud itself. He knew the Cyan Yang Flame could feedback power to the Red Flame Fox.

Perhaps the Red Flame Fox could also crazily siphon from the Thundercloud like the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon.

Sure enough, as the Cyan Yang Flame burned, the Thunder Spear began to weaken.

At the same time, the Red Flame Fox’s four tails began to condense four-colored fire orbs, which finally merged into a gigantic four-colored Fire Fox Spirit Shadow.

The moment this Fire Fox Spirit Shadow appeared, it charged straight at the Thunder Tribulation. With a deafening boom, most of the Thunder Tribulation shattered, its power drastically reduced.

The Red Flame Fox’s four tails swayed and began condensing again.

The Red Flame Fox’s control over Fire Attribute Spiritual Techniques was exceedingly terrifying. This was both its innate talent and the result of many years of Alchemy.

Counting Alchemy, the Golden Scale Beast’s effort probably wasn’t less than the Red Flame Fox’s.

On the desert, the Fire Fox Spirit Shadow once again slammed into the Thunder Tribulation.

After two such collisions, the Thunder Tribulation weakened even further. In the end, it spat out a Blazing Flame Fan and once again unleashed Heaven-Burning flames.

This Blazing Flame Fan had been Ye Jingcheng’s former Lifebound Magical Treasure, but now that he had broken through to Golden Core, it was a bit lacking, so he had given it to the Red Flame Fox.

With the sweep of the terrifying flames, the Thunder Spear was transformed into a spear of Cyan Yang Flame.

When it smashed onto the Red Flame Fox’s body, the damage was minor, but dense Thunder Arcs formed and crackled wildly across its form.

Yet at this moment, the Red Flame Fox seemed to have found the way to break it.

It began gathering its strength once more.

The Thunder Tribulation came very quickly; it seemed that in the desert, the Thundercloud was slightly impatient.

In no time at all, the second bolt of Thunder Tribulation was already forming.

The Red Flame Fox used the same method, and with the Cyan Yang Flame now stronger, it was even easier this time.

Meanwhile, Ye Jingcheng also noticed several Spirit Puppets stealthily approaching through the distant Desert Sea.

His Star Illusion Eye flared to the extreme, and he sneered:

“Purple Mansion Flying Puppets—those Zhang Jia factions really are stingy.”

Ye Jingcheng let out a cold snort, then his figure shot out.

With Desolate Step unleashed, his speed was likewise terrifying.

Before those few Spirit Puppets could react, he had already sacrificed the Void Profound Bottle, covering them all.

And to prevent their Divine Souls from escaping, Ye Jingcheng released Spirit Destruction Needles, shredding their Divine Souls to pieces!
