Myriad Spirits Immortal Clan

Chapter 385: Appearance of the Half-Jiao, the Great Battle Begins (Seeking Monthly Tickets and Subscriptions in One)

The rippling lake surface, shimmering with mist, reflected the mountains on the shore, the clouds in the sky, and the moon above.

Amidst the tranquility, there was a sense of beauty reminiscent of a landscape painting.

Ye Jingcheng took a deep breath; even though this Moon Gazing Lake was very much to his liking, he had more important matters to attend to today.

He took out a formation flag and a set of formation disks, and began to set them up.

After the formation was set up, shielding the area around him, he took out his spirit beast pouch, and Turtle Ancestor transformed into its largest form.

As Turtle Ancestor opened its mouth, more than a dozen bright figures appeared inside.

Among these figures were those familiar to Ye Jingcheng, such as his fourth brother Ye Jingyu, his fifteenth uncle Ye Xingyu, as well as his fifteenth grand-uncle Ye Xueliang, his ninth grand-uncle Ye Xuefu, and the two formation masters who repaired the teleportation array, Ye Haiyu and Ye Haifei.

Of course, there were also those Ye Jingcheng didn't recognize.

Currently, there were only three Foundation Establishment Initial Stage cultivators: Ye Xingyu and two that Ye Jingcheng didn't know.

There were seven Foundation Establishment Middle Stage cultivators, among whom Ye Jingyu had also advanced to Foundation Establishment Middle Stage.

There were even three Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivators.

As for Violet Palace cultivators, there was only his grand-uncle, Ye Haicheng.

Over the years, the Ye family had been cautious and walked on thin ice, and their acquisition of Violet Palace demon beasts was extremely rare.

Moreover, Violet Palace spirit beasts had to be compatible with the Ye family members, which made it even more difficult; and even if they were compatible, breaking through to the Violet Palace realm was also difficult, unlike Foundation Establishment, where almost all Ye family members could succeed.

Therefore, although there seemed to be many Foundation Establishment cultivators, there were currently only four Violet Palace cultivators.

Of course, there might be some who were in the process of breaking through, but without a doubt, these were all the Ye family members who were attacking Moon Gazing Lake this time.

Ye Jingcheng realized that, not counting spirit beasts, he wasn't particularly outstanding among them.

Almost everyone in the Hidden Peak branch had cultivated a certain skill to a very profound level.

Ye Jingcheng wasn't very clear about the cultivation levels and spirit beasts of the others.

"Everyone, let's begin. Be sure to resolve the remaining Second-Order demon beasts within a hundred breaths. Finally, everyone gathers together to kill those two Silver Moon Pythons!" Ye Haicheng took the lead in speaking.

As the only Violet Palace cultivator here, the pressure he bore was imaginable.

However, although Ye Haicheng was alone, there was also Turtle Ancestor, who was also a Violet Palace demon beast.

Speaking of which, Ye Jingcheng hadn't seen Turtle Ancestor take action, but he knew from Ye Xuecang that Turtle Ancestor was considered young among its kind.

As Ye Haicheng said to begin, everyone also took out their respective spirit beasts.

Ye Haicheng even took out two spirit beasts from his spirit beast pouch, and as soon as the two spirit beasts appeared, they occupied most of the formation's space.

The first was a huge Third-Order Savage Fire Azure Ox, and the other was a five-zhang tall Star-Eyed Iron Ape.

The Savage Fire Azure Ox's head had savage flames burning wildly, and its nose was also extremely large and shimmering with spiritual light; on the contrary, its two spiritual horns were somewhat inferior to this nose, obviously not an ordinary beast.

The Star-Eyed Iron Ape's sturdy muscles were full of a strong sense of explosiveness; at a glance, it was an extremely powerful body-refining spirit beast. Ye Jingcheng even suspected that the Star-Eyed Iron Ape had the strength to fight a Flood Dragon in close combat.

Ye Haicheng releasing two Violet Palace spirit beasts also meant that there were now four Violet Palace combatants.

Dealing with two Silver Moon Pythons suddenly became much less stressful.

The other Foundation Establishment clansmen also took out quite a few spirit beasts.

Such as the Plum Feather Crane, the Flying Sky Purple Crystal Scorpion King, the Second-Order Mottled Cloud Tiger, the Second-Order Saber-Toothed Tiger, the Second-Order Tricolor Lizard, the Second-Order Fire-Swallowing Crow, and the Second-Order Azure Scale Python, the Second-Order Jade Toad…

In an instant, more than twenty Second-Order spirit beasts appeared.

Almost everyone had two to three each, only Ye Xingyu had a little less; his Golden-Eyed Crow hadn't reached Second-Order yet. Ye Jingyu did have two spirit beasts; his Jade Scale Snake had also reached Second-Order, but compared to Ye Jingcheng's Jade Scale Jiao, it was much smaller.

The entire formation instantly began to feel crowded.

Seeing this strength, Ye Jingcheng's confidence also greatly increased.

This was the Ye family's strength; calculated in this way, the entire battlefield had nearly forty Second-Order combatants from the Ye family.

This didn't even include Ye Jingcheng's several major Second-Order spirit beasts.

This was three or four times stronger than the Taiyi Sect's strength in sweeping through Jade Dragon Valley.

In his opinion, taking down a Moon Gazing Lake was naturally full of confidence.

At this time, he was only worried about whether Moon Gazing Lake's resources were enough and whether it was worth their effort this time.

While everyone was preparing, Ye Haiyu and Ye Haifei had already begun to set up the formation.

This time, the formation disks they took out were also extraordinary.

Ye Jingcheng saw the shadow of the Great Sun Double Dragon Formation that Ye Xingliu had taken out before.

It seemed that these formation flags were also refined from Third-Order magic treasures.

The two of them each had about hundreds of formation disks and flags in their hands.

Gathered together, there were more than a thousand.

In order to take down Moon Gazing Lake in a short period of time, the Ye family naturally had to make full preparations.

Setting up the formation was the first step, sealing everything off; it should be known that the demon beasts of Moon Gazing Lake were also spirit stones in the eyes of the Ye family.

Spirit beasts with high talent could be tried to be tamed, while spirit beasts with low talent could be used to feed spirit beasts; demon beast inner cores could be used to refine spirit pills.

Demon beast souls were needed to replenish the Spirit Beast Tower!

The waiting time while setting up the formation was agonizing; Ye Jingcheng and the others could only wait quietly within the formation.

At this time, one could still occasionally see red Moon Pythons appearing on Moon Gazing Lake.

Red Moon Pythons were one bloodline grade lower than Silver Moon Pythons, and were the most numerous demon beasts in Moon Gazing Lake.

However, normal Red Moon Pythons could also grow to the point of being Second-Order demon beasts.

Moreover, this kind of Red Moon Python was a spiritual delicacy for cultivators that was not much worse than the Star Devouring Fish, and its nourishing effect was extremely high.

Not to mention strengthening the physical constitution, there were even rumors that it could help promote the reproductive ability of cultivators.

As everyone knew, the higher a cultivator's cultivation, the harder it was to give birth to offspring.

This also showed the preciousness of the Red Moon Python.

Of course, the Ye family had also practiced it, and the rumor of enhancing reproductive ability was untrue, at least not with a small amount.

As for how it would be with more consumption, the Ye family was still unclear.

After all, before, the Ye family rarely had the opportunity to mobilize the entire Hidden Peak, like today, to occupy a large Violet Palace group.

These few Red Moon Pythons were obviously not yet Second-Order, floating on the lake surface, following the moonlight, and heading towards the shore.

The surroundings of this lake often had herds of Cloud Deer coming to drink water, as well as various other demon beasts or wild animals.

These Red Moon Pythons were waiting for an opportunity to move.

However, today, these Red Moon Pythons seemed to sense something and were heading towards the location of the Ye family's formation.

It was an unparalleled coincidence.

This made everyone a little embarrassed.

Fortunately, at this time, Ye Xueliang released some powder, and as soon as it was released there, it made the Red Moon Pythons retreat.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Ye Haifei and Ye Haiyu's speed in deploying the formation and formation flags also slowed down.

Time quickly reached the second half of the night, and most of the formation had already been set up.

Just then, they saw the moonlight scattering on the lake surface, and the lake opened up in a line.

Everyone carefully examined it and realized that it was a huge Silver Moon Python.

After the Silver Moon Python took the lead in revealing half of its body, another one appeared next to it.

Their bodies were both silver-white, and one of them even had a fleshy horn, its aura far surpassing the other Silver Moon Python.

“This Silver Moon Python has already transformed into a half-蛟 (jiao, a mythical dragon-like creature), making it even more difficult to deal with!” Ye Haicheng muttered softly.

Upon seeing this, Ye Jingcheng's heart pounded with excitement.

His Tier 3 Jade Kirin Pill required the essence blood of a Tier 3 蛟 or half-蛟.

In other words, if he was lucky enough to kill this Silver Moon Python and collect its essence blood, he would find the rarest main ingredient for his Tier 3 Jade Kirin Pill.

Moreover, judging from Ye Haicheng's tone, although it was somewhat tricky, it seemed to be just that.

“Not good, it seems we’ve been discovered!” Ye Haicheng suddenly exclaimed.

Everyone also realized that the two Silver Moon Pythons were approaching at a terrifying speed.

They were also constantly emitting snake language, and instantly, the lake surface began to shake continuously, with ripples colliding with each other.

It was clear that countless spirit beasts were beginning to appear.

“No need to hide anymore, Haiyu and Haifei, continue to set up the Yin-Yang Annihilation Formation. Everyone else, charge according to the original plan!” Ye Haicheng shouted loudly, taking the lead in flying out. At the same time, he finally unleashed his magic treasure.

It was a Water Dividing Banner.

As the Water Dividing Banner flew out,

the entire lake within a radius of nearly a hundred miles was split into two, with all the lake water surging towards both sides, revealing a large number of demonic beasts.

Most of these demonic beasts were Crimson Moon Pythons and Silver Moon Pythons. In addition, there were also Profound Water Crocodiles and Azure Water Turtles, as well as many Tier 2 demonic beasts.

Ye Jingcheng glanced over and estimated that there were definitely no less than a hundred Tier 2 demonic beasts, not to mention the Tier 1 demonic beasts.

This was not even counting the spirit fish in Moon Gazing Lake.

A vast expanse of them all appeared under the Water Dividing Banner.

Of course, in the eyes of everyone, the most troublesome were the two Silver Moon Pythons.

The smallest of these two Silver Moon Python Great Demons was fifteen zhang (approximately 50 meters) long, with a body as thick as a water bucket, densely covered with scales, and a blood-red mouth that seemed capable of swallowing a small palace.

Their speed was like an arrow released from a bow.

For most demonic beasts, they preferred the thrill of tearing their prey apart.

Taking the lead were the Star-Eyed Iron Ape and the Savage Flame Azure Ox.

The Savage Flame Azure Ox let out a heavy moo, and instantly, a terrifying ripple storm surged towards the two Silver Moon Pythons.

This caused the bodies of the two Silver Moon Pythons to stagnate, forcing them to continue charging forward with inertia.

Even Ye Jingcheng, who heard this huge moo later, felt a buzzing in his ears. It should be known that the Savage Flame Azure Ox's moo-sound secret technique was not aimed at him.

This was merely the unavoidable residual power.

In addition, the Star-Eyed Iron Ape had already rushed in front of the two Silver Moon Pythons. It raised its huge iron fist, its starlight so dense that it seemed to surpass the moon in the sky.

Boom boom boom!

Countless iron fists, like mountains collapsing and earth splitting, smashed onto the Silver Moon Python's body.

Each fist seemed to shatter several iron mountains, but even so, the awakened Silver Moon Python instantly entangled the Star-Eyed Iron Ape, and its huge blood-red mouth smashed towards the Star-Eyed Iron Ape.

Even, under the moonlight, the Silver Moon Python manifested countless illusions.

The Star-Eyed Iron Ape's pair of star eyes also began to flicker.

The Silver Moon Python's greatest secret technique was illusion. The illusions it created in the air were indistinguishable even to Violet Palace divine sense. Coupled with its terrifying speed, extremely poisonous venom, and thick skin and flesh, it was able to suppress Dragon Valley in the Taihang Mountains.

However, the Star-Eyed Iron Ape was not afraid of this kind of illusion, so it naturally would not allow the Silver Moon Python to bite it.

It also dodged nimbly, and even if it was struck by the tail, its body remained fearless.

It continuously pummeled the Silver Moon Python.

On the other side, Ye Haicheng's entire body was covered with layers of thick tortoise shell, while Tortoise Ancestor retreated to the very back.

This was the manifestation of the Ye family's Spirit Controlling Secret Technique. Ye Haicheng was now like a war god clad in tortoise shell.

The half-蛟 Silver Moon Python was much more powerful than the Silver Moon Python next to it, so Ye Haicheng was the one being constantly battered. Fortunately, the shell was solid.

He was still able to withstand it, and with the Savage Flame Azure Ox constantly charging and spitting out terrifying sky-fire dragons, they were barely able to resist.

Normal Silver Moon Pythons were actually extremely afraid of sky-fire Great Demons like the Savage Flame Azure Ox.

However, because of the horn, the Silver Moon Python, even in the Violet Palace Middle Stage realm, could faintly display the strength of the Violet Palace Late Stage.

Ye Haicheng was only a Violet Palace Initial Stage cultivator, while the Savage Flame Azure Ox was a Tier 3 Middle Stage spirit beast, so the two of them were only barely able to resist.

While the Violet Palace demonic beasts were engaged in a chaotic battle, Ye Jingcheng and the other Ye family Foundation Establishment cultivators were also fighting with other Tier 2 demonic beasts.

At this moment, Ye Jingcheng released a full nine Tier 2 spirit beasts.

Among them were four Four-Phase Spirit Beasts, four Tier 2 Thunder Rhinoceros Insects, and one Golden Falcon.

This display startled most of the Ye family Hidden Peak members.

After all, they were very unfamiliar with Ye Jingcheng's many Tier 2 spirit beasts.

This meant that these spirit beasts were not inherited, but were cultivated or captured by Ye Jingcheng himself.

This strength alone could move many clansmen, and coupled with Ye Jingcheng's Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivation, it was fully displayed.

Various Profound Water Ice Shields, Falling Cloud Star Rocks, and Crimson Flame Fire Feathers were constantly unleashed.

Even Ye Jingyu's eyes flashed with a trace of envy at this moment.

However, he quickly concealed it.

In the Ye family, envy was acceptable, but more important was hard work. Compared to other families, the Ye family not only valued spiritual roots, but also valued temperament and beast control patterns, which was already extremely fair.

Moreover, although Ye Jingyu was somewhat inferior to Ye Jingcheng, his own strength was not weak. The Jade Kirin Snake's Jade Kirin Tail Blade was extremely swift, coupled with the support of the Mottled Cloud Tiger.

And with Ye Jingyu's Hurricane Disk magic weapon, many demonic beasts were trapped in his hurricane and then killed by the Jade Kirin Snake.

“We can't be outdone by the younger generation!” Ye Xuefu and Ye Xueliang couldn't help but chuckle.

Then, the former cast a pupil technique, while the latter transformed into a scaled python man, entering the chaotic battle as well.

These Crimson Moon Pythons were relatively weak, only the Tier 2 Silver Moon Pythons were quite tricky.

Although the Jade Kirin Jiao's Jade Kirin Tail Fin Blade was extremely sharp, sometimes it only struck illusions.

Only the Crimson Flame Fox seemed to be in its element.

You have Silver Moon Illusions, and it has Fireball Illusions.

Its four tails transformed into four Crimson Flame Fox Spirit Shadows, each unleashing a huge fireball.

The power was equally terrifying.

Moreover, although only one of its fireballs was real, the remaining three illusory ones were not much weaker in terms of flame power.

They could also contaminate flames. As long as they were contaminated, the Crimson Flame Fox and other spirit beasts could hit them.

Seeing Ye Jingcheng continuously kill two Silver Moon Pythons, the other Ye family members also followed suit.
