Clan Cultivation: Starting from Beast Taming

Boom!

Outside the Jiang Family’s mountain gate, thunder roared incessantly, shaking the surrounding mountains.

After the second-grade high-quality Demon Beast, the Silver Lightning Python Baibai, transformed into the Thunder Flood Dragon, its cultivation level was still within the second-grade category, but its combat power was close to that of a third-grade Demon Beast.

The five Foundation Establishment Cultivators from the He and Guo families had originally intended to rely on the Jiang Family’s Mountain Protection Array to fight the Zhou Family to the death.

However, when the Thunder Flood Dragon Baibai joined the battle, those five were instantly met with disaster.

Two of the Cultivators who couldn’t dodge in time and were weaker were struck down by the sudden lightning, smoking as they plummeted towards the ground.

Seeing this, the remaining three were so frightened that they ran for their lives, fleeing into the Jiang Family mountain gate under Jiang Shicheng’s ushering.

But by then, the fully-engaged Zhou Family Cultivators possessed the power to break through the Jiang Family’s mountain gate.

Zhou Daoyi and Zhou Chun each made a move, easily catching the attacks from the Purple Mansion Cultivators of the He and Guo families.

Meanwhile, the Fire Divine Jackal and Green Flood Dragon expelled their Demon Cores, leading several Zhou Family Foundation Establishment Cultivators in a final assault on the Jiang Family’s Guardian Great Formation.

When the Green Flood Dragon opened its mouth, a greenly gleaming Demon Core flew above the Jiang Family’s Mountain Gate Great Array.

Then, as the Demon Core spun about in the air, the sky rapidly darkened, and a green demonic wind began to blow.

This green demonic wind, vast as the sea, swept towards the bluish-green mist radiating from the Jiang Family’s Mountain Protection Array, churning it so violently it seemed on the verge of dissipating.

At the same time, the Fire Divine Jackal also expelled a firelit, fiery-red Demon Core.

This fiery-red Demon Core hung high in the sky, releasing a dazzling firelight, quickly absorbing spiritual energy and forming a crimson fire cloud in midair.

Then, a wolf howl sounded out, and the crimson fire cloud suddenly transformed into a series of fiery-red meteors hurtling towards the bluish-green mist.

Boom, boom, boom!

Loud explosions followed one after another. Each fiery-red meteor that struck the bluish-green mist scattered the vapor nearby, giving a glimpse of the situation inside the Jiang Family’s mountain gate.

Wind and fire surged, lightning flashed.

In just an instant, the Jiang Family’s Mountain Protection Array began to wobble precariously under the fierce onslaught.

Spurt! Spurt! Spurt!

Inside the Jiang Family mountain gate, several Cultivators assisting in controlling the Formation spat out blood in unison, and cracks appeared on the Formation Flags they held.

Even Jiang Shicheng, the Purple Mansion Phase Cultivator, looked flush-faced and churned with blood, shaken significantly by the backlash from the Formation.

“We can’t hold on, Supreme Elder, the array won’t hold!”

A Jiang Family Foundation Establishment Cultivator let out a low roar, his tone thick with fear.

After witnessing the formidable strength of the Zhou Family people outside, the battling spirit that had been stirred within them had now largely dissipated, and panic and terror once again emerged in their hearts.

Upon noticing this, Jiang Shicheng also felt a heavy sinking feeling, then shouted sternly, “Hold on! Even if it kills you, hold on for me!”

After saying that, realizing that encouragement alone wouldn’t suffice, he firmly added, “Those two beasts have already used their Demon Cores, which means they’ve exhausted their methods. Just hold off this wave of attacks, and more reinforcements will come to our aid!”

Indeed, in such times, this sort of resolute tone truly had a significant effect in steadying people’s hearts.

At least for those Jiang Family Cultivators who heard his words, it provided a measure of comfort and a reason to keep going.

Often, whether people can persist in adversity depends on the strength of their convictions.

In this respect, Jiang Shicheng undoubtedly did very well.

But, unfortunately, the strength of their enemy once again exceeded his expectations.

At that moment, a dense swarm of Golden Demon Insects rushed towards one side of the Jiang Family’s Mountain Gate Great Array, covering an area of several acres in the blink of an eye.

Some Jiang Family Cultivators attacked these Golden Demon Insects as soon as they saw them.

But whether it was burning with fire, drenching with rain, chilling with wind and ice, or slashing and hacking with swords, none could deal significant damage to these Demon Insects.

Yet, the gnawing of these Demon Insects placed an immense strain on the array; their collective destructive power while chewing was stronger than that of a Purple Mansion Phase Cultivator.

“Damn it! When did the Zhou Family hide such an Insect Expelling Technique?”

Inside the Jiang Family mountain gate, Jiang Shicheng quickly recognized the tremendous threat posed by these Golden Demon Insects to the array and was surprised and enraged by this unexpected tactic.

He furiously summoned a black jade gourd Magic Artifact, releasing a dark green toxic cloud toward the swarm in an attempt to poison them all to death.

But to his astonishment, the toxic cloud, which could poison Purple Mansion Phase Cultivators to death, couldn’t kill all of them.

Most of the Golden Demon Insects were merely momentarily unstable when enveloped by the cloud, then soon recovered and continued their gnawing on the Formation.

Only a few of the insects succumbed to the intense poison, turning black and falling to the ground, not rising again.

This sight caused Jiang Shicheng’s expression to change drastically, his eyes filled with panic.

But that was just the first blow, and soon a second blow followed swiftly after.
