Blow Them Up

On Yang Dangmo's side, the Separation Fire Seal transformed into a ten-zhang-long shape, rendering the two Second-Rank Low-Grade Fierce Beasts unable to raise their heads.

He held a stack of Talisman in his hand and offered them up one by one.

This Yang Lineage Elder was extremely experienced in combat, had a keen eye, and used every Talisman perfectly.

There was no waste, and the Talisman's destructive power was maximized. It just goes to show that experience counts.

Finally, there was Yang Lihe, who was the most relaxed. He hid behind Yang Tiankang, his arms outstretched, and hundreds of Subordinate Individuals of the Autumn Leaf Locusts flapped their wings and flew out from his sleeves, their bodies swirling with a dense, Power of Withering.

Those ferocious Fierce Beasts, exuding Sha Qi, were quickly eroded by the Power of Withering of a dozen locusts, their flesh and fur withered, their deaths extremely gruesome.

Besides these insects, Yang Lihe himself is also extremely skilled in Wood Attribute Law Technique.

Wood Vine Technique, Willow Leaf Technique...

These Law Technique, which were not originally very powerful, became quite terrifying under the enhancement of the Power of Withering.

The lush green vines turned Withered Yellow, but their lethality increased exponentially; touching them meant certain death, without exception.

Even a Second-Rank Low-Grade Fierce Beast that resembled a wildcat was quickly reduced to a rotting mass of flesh and blood after being surrounded by dozens of withered vines.

He turned a perfectly good Wood Vine Technique into Withered Vine Technique!

The Foundation Establishment elders of the Yang Household each displayed their skills, clearing out the Fierce Beasts and Vengeful Ghosts from the Outer Periphery area of Fierce Ghost Cave in the short time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

They then gathered together at the boundary between the Inner Domain and Outer Periphery regions.

Here, a massive spiritual wall spanning hundreds of feet blocked their way.

Second-Tier Middle-Grade Formation: Spirit Jade Wall Formation!

With the added support of Yang Tianshi's eight Formation Flags and the burning of Spirit Stones at any cost, the defensive power of this Formation increased exponentially.

The crystal spirit wall, which was two zhang thick, only dimmed slightly when faced with the siege of eight or Tier 2 Fierce Beasts and Vengeful Ghosts, as well as more than a hundred First-Tier miscellaneous creatures from the Inner Domain. It showed no signs of being breached.

Of course, during this process, the Spirit Stones are burning at an alarming rate, and all of them are Middle-Grade Spirit Stones.

"So, shall we let them come over?" Fifteenth Brother Yang Tianwang asked with a solemn expression.

"No, wait a little longer. The truly powerful Fierce Beasts from the Inner Domain haven't arrived yet," Yang Haoyu said, raising his hand.

"How's the setup of your Forbidden Artifacts coming along?" Yang Tianyou asked.

"Everything's set up. Sixteen Forbidden Artifacts in total, two placed every ten feet or so, concealed with Concealment Talisman. We're just waiting for these guys to rush out, and then..."

Yang Tianwang chuckled, spread his five fingers on his right hand, and made an explosion gesture.

"Well done. After the Forbidden Artifact exploded, act simultaneously and use your most powerful techniques to kill these guys to the maximum extent possible," Yang Haoyu added with a worried reminder.

Everyone nodded, their eyes burning with fighting spirit.

After another short while, more and more Fierce Beasts gathered outside the Spirit Jade Wall Formation, and the thick Lingbi finally could not withstand them.

With a series of cracking sounds, cracks appeared on the surface.

"They're here!"

At that moment, Yang Tianyou's eyes shone brightly, and the image of a ferocious and violent Fierce Beast was reflected in his platinum pupils.

This was a gigantic, Fierce Beast, twenty zhang long, with dark blue scales and a body nearly two zhang in diameter. It resembled a python, but had two thick, sharp claws growing from its belly.

More than a hundred sharp fangs, arranged in a barbed pattern, were distributed in the mouth of the Serpent Fierce Beast. Strands of yellow saliva, carrying deadly poison, dripped onto the ground, leaving behind craters filled with frost and toxic gas.

It moved slowly, like a majestic mountain sweeping across, its heavy aura spreading outwards. Even the most Wisdom Fierce Beasts bowed their heads in submission under its presence.

False Core Fierce Beast!

It was this Fierce Beast that caused the Yang Household to suffer a crushing defeat eighteen years ago, with two Foundation Establishment dying in battle and fifteen Qi Refining clan members perishing. The Lineage almost perished in the Cold Tide because of it.

Looking at it, Yang Haoyu and Yang Dangmo revealed an undisguised, intense killing intent in their eyes.

For these two elders of the Yang Household, the events of eighteen years ago were still vivid in their minds; both of the Yang Household's Foundation Establishment had perished at the hands of this fellow.

This trip to the Fierce Ghost Cave wasn't just for Cultivation Resources; avenging his clansmen was also a major reason.

Yang Tianyou's gaze was solemn. The strength of the False Core Fierce Beast was still unknown, but he had witnessed the combat power of Wu Shuisheng, Yun Zhan, Iron Rakshasa, and others.

These people are so powerful that they would easily defeat a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection. It would take two or three Foundation Establishment cultivators at the eighth or ninth level working together to barely contend with them.

Of course, if that were all, the Yang Household Member wouldn't be afraid of it. Relying on their numerous Forbidden Artifacts and Talisman, they could easily swarm it and kill the Fierce Beast.

However, this guy wasn't fighting alone.

Four Tier 2 Vengeful Ghosts: one Second-Tier Upper-Grade, two Second-Tier Middle-Grade, and one Second-Rank Low-Grade.

Fifteen Tier 2 Fierce Beasts, including three Second-Tier Upper-Grade, five Second-Tier Middle-Grade, and seven Second-Rank Low-Grade.

In addition, there were more than a hundred First-Tier Fierce Beasts and dozens of First-Tier Vengeful Ghosts.

These First-Tier minions are of much higher quality than those in the Outer Periphery areas. Almost none of them are First-Tier Low-Grade. If they were to attack together, even three to five Foundation Establishment stage cultivators would not be able to withstand them.

The reason why the Old Ancestor was able to lead his Fifth Granduncle Yang Dangmo, out of the fray was because it consumed most of the Yang Household's resources.

They even used up their treasured second -Tier 2 Supreme-Grade Escape Technique Talisman. You have to understand, that was the trump card that the Yang Household had painstakingly accumulated over two hundred years, and it was all used up in the Fierce Ghost Cave.

Hiss!!

Its blue-green forked tongue flickered, and the Serpent Fierce Beast's scarlet pupils reflected its ferocity and madness.

He snaked his way in without hesitation, his powerful body, honed by countless baleful Sha Qi, crashing straight into the cracked spirit wall.

Boom!!

Crystals flew, Spiritual Qi surged, and a pungent, fishy smell wafted through the air as the wind howled.

Without the slightest hesitation, the Yang Household Members retreated immediately.

The Fierce Beast, devoid of Wisdom and filled only with murderous intent, paid no heed to traps and gave chase.

More than two hundred first and second-tier Fierce Beasts and Vengeful Ghosts rushed over, and in the blink of an eye, the leading Serpent Fierce Beast had already crossed more than a hundred feet.

"Detonate the Forbidden Artifact!" Yang Haoyu shouted, a cold glint in his eyes.

Upon hearing this, the other elders did not hesitate for a moment. They rapidly formed hand Mudra, and their Spiritual Power transformed into strange fluctuations that emanated from them.

Underground and in mid-air, one Forbidden Artifact after another instantly unleashed destructive Spiritual Power fluctuations.

Thunderfire Urn-Gold Bomb, Blazing Flame Void-Burning Sword, Wind-Thunder Pot... one after another, they exploded with a deafening roar.

Boom!! Boom!! Boom!

The deafening explosion instantly echoed throughout the Fierce Ghost Cave.

A dense net of flames and Thunder crisscrossed the sky, hundreds of fire fragments shaped like Flying Shuttles, and rapidly spinning vortexes of wind and thunder...

The explosion of each Forbidden Artifact is equivalent to a full-force attack unleashed by a cultivator of the same level by burning their Essence Blood.

The simultaneous explosion of sixteen Forbidden Artifacts is equivalent to sixteen Foundation Establishment unleashing their full power at the same moment.
