Earth-Scale Seal, Golden Falcon Breakthrough (Two-in-One, Happy New Year!)

On Cloud Hidden Island, as several array flags fluttered by, a massive spiritual shield instantly formed.

Beside the spiritual barrier, countless white mists continued to emerge.

From the outside, all you can see is emptiness.

Inside the Array, Ye Jingcheng shook his head as he looked at the Golden-Scaled Beast's defiant expression.

Having just broken through, Ye Jingcheng believed it was very strong, but the Crimson Flame Fox possessed the Azure Sun Flame.

At this moment, the Golden-Scaled Beast was fully armored and looked very imposing. Its head had become larger and was already somewhat similar to that of a lion, with two slightly protruding horns.

It looks exactly like an Earth Qilin.

Those two front legs are slightly thick.

"Roar!" The Golden-Scaled Beast was extremely excited to see that the Array had completely covered it.

It felt its day had come.

He wouldn't listen to Ye Jingcheng's advice.

Meanwhile, the Crimson Flame Fox on the opposite side was also full of ferocity. After consuming a lot of Mystic Flame Pill, its cultivation level was now close to the peak of the early stage of the third rank.

In terms of cultivation level, the two are about the same.

It's just that they didn't have Advancement Pill, otherwise they wouldn't have let the Golden-Scaled Beast bully them.

"Let's begin!" Ye Jingcheng finally spoke from afar, announcing the start of the beast battle!

The Golden-Scaled Beast attacked first. With a press of its forepaw, countless golden lights appeared instantly, and mountains of earth spikes rose up one after another.

In the past, one Earth Spike Array at a time, but now the Golden-Scaled Beast can deploy countless spikes with a single step.

Seeing how powerful it had become, the Golden-Scaled Beast roared repeatedly.

If the Jade-Scale Flood Dragon and the Golden Falcon hadn't been absent, the Golden-Scaled Beast would have sent them both at once.

"Hmph!" The Crimson Flame Fox's sky-blue eyes remained disdainful.

The three tails spread out, instantly creating four shadows that formed four trails of fire in the air.

While dodging the Golden-Scaled Beast's attack, it also flicked its tail, sending four enormous fireballs hurtling towards the Golden-Scaled Beast from four directions.

As the fireball fell, the Golden-Scaled Beast pressed down again, and countless golden Mountain-Splitting Cloud Shield landed in all directions.

Boom!

The fireball collided with the golden shield, instantly emitting a terrifying golden-red light.

However, the firelight clearly could not break through the golden shield.

However, to the Golden-Scaled Beast's surprise, the Spirit Flame had long been under the Crimson Flame Fox's masterful control after many days of alchemy.

The fireball that had scattered transformed into a massive blazing inferno, which then evolved in the void into a fiery serpent, continuing its blast towards the Golden-Scaled Beast along the gaps in the golden shield!

In an instant, the Golden-Scaled Beast was blasted and looked rather disheveled.

"Roar!" The Golden-Scaled Beast roared again. Although its defense was extremely strong, at this moment it only wanted to tell the Crimson Flame Fox!

It was truly enraged!

With a flash of golden light, it extinguished the flames!

A spiritual light began to emanate from its horns, and the next moment, a small seal emerged from its mouth.

This small seal was entirely formed from golden spiritual light, and it was constantly absorbing the surrounding soil, eventually transforming into a giant seal the size of a small mountain.

The giant seal headed straight towards the void where the Crimson Flame Fox was.

The Crimson Flame Fox wasn't initially worried; it simply wanted to spit out four more fireballs to dampen the Golden-Scaled Beast's arrogance once more.

However, as soon as the earthen-yellow seal fell into the air, it emitted a terrifying earthen-yellow spiritual light. Within the spiritual light, Ye Jingcheng even seemed to see a Qilin spirit image, which was somewhat similar to Ye Jingcheng's Five Elements Purple Mansion spirit image.

The Crimson Flame Fox tried to escape, but was enveloped by a yellow light, and for a moment it seemed to sink into a quagmire, greatly reducing its speed.

Even three of the phantoms were torn apart at that moment!

At this moment, the Crimson Flame Fox panicked.

It immediately unleashed the Azure Sun Flame Azure Sun Flame, whose domineering power instantly burned through the yellow light.

The Crimson Flame Fox also darted out of the Earth Seal's range.

At the same time, four cyan and red fireballs flew towards the Golden-Scaled Beast.

At this moment, the Crimson Flame Fox was clearly truly enraged.

A spiritual net appeared on its forehead, and the cyan-red Azure Sun Flame immediately rose higher and higher in the air, burning towards the Golden-Scaled Beast.

"Roar!" The Golden-Scaled Beast had no choice but to unleash countless Golden Light Mountain-Splitting Cloud Shield, but the Azure Sun Flame bypassed the gap and landed on the Golden-Scaled Beast again!

"Roar, Master!" This time, it was the Golden-Scaled Beast's turn to panic.

It immediately called out to its owner.

"Little Flame, recall the Azure Sun Flame!" Ye Jingcheng said.

The Golden-Scaled Beast finally knows to call its master.

Of course, although he wanted to punish some Golden-Scaled Beast, he wouldn't use the Azure Sun Flame, as that burns away life force.

Although the Crimson Flame Fox was somewhat reluctant, it withdrew its offer after seeing Ye Jingcheng's expression.

However, after such a short time, it was clear that the fire wasn't too severe, as the Golden-Scaled Beast now possessed even stronger defensive capabilities.

But this feeling of being unable to extinguish the flames and even burning away its life force made the Golden-Scaled Beast anxious.

The feeling of seeing the Crimson Flame Fox is different now.

It was no longer provocative, but instead looked at Ye Jingcheng.

It's as if it's saying, "I've already mastered condensing the Earth-Scale Seal, so next time, give me the Advancement Pill first again."

It wants revenge.

Ye Jingcheng naturally ignored it; giving the Golden-Scaled Beast this time was already a very generous treatment.

Seeing that Ye Jingcheng did not agree, the Golden-Scaled Beast roared again and asked:

Where's the yellow bird?

"Where is the Great Jade Serpent?"

The Crimson Flame Fox failed to avenge itself, and it clearly still wanted to take revenge on the Golden Falcon and the Jade-Scale Flood Dragon.

These two beasts couldn't possibly possess a monstrous Spirit Flame like the Azure Sun Flame, could they?

"They're still breaking through!" Ye Jingcheng replied casually, though he wasn't optimistic about the Golden-Scaled Beast either.

After all, there's a significant difference in cultivation level between the two, and the chances of them breaking through to the mid-stage of the Purple Mansion realm are quite high. Moreover, they've both advanced three times.

After examining the two beasts, Ye Jingcheng turned his gaze to the Jade Ring Rat not far away.

Inside the Array, the Jade Ring Rat witnessed the Golden-Scaled Beast's breathing technique for three and a half years.

It looked a little thinner now, but its eyes were brighter.

Its breathing technique is complete.

However, according to Ye Jingcheng's perception, it seemed to have gone astray.

Its breathing technique was entirely focused on its pair of Jade Ring earrings.

Moreover, Dharma Manifestation of the Golden-Scaled Beast, it was so rudimentary and seemed on the verge of collapse.

It may still lack strong combat capabilities in the future.

His aura had become much stronger, reaching the limit of the first rank, equivalent to the ninth level of Qi Refining for a cultivator.

This suggests that the Jade Ring Rat might be able to break through to the second tier by consuming the inner core of a second-tier Demon Beast Core.

Ye Jingcheng was also pleasantly surprised by this.

After all, he didn't have any expectations for the Jade Ring Rat.

It would be better if we could make even more breakthroughs.

The lifespan of a spirit rat is not comparable to that of some long-lived Demon Beast. If it does not break through to the second rank, the Jade Ring Rat may die of old age.

Ye Jingcheng then prepared a second-tier Earth Attribute demon core for the Jade Ring Rat.

With this inner core, under normal circumstances, the Jade Ring Rat should be able to break through.

"Squeak squeak squeak!" The Jade Ring Rat's ears flapped rapidly, clearly not expecting that it would one day obtain the inner core of a second-tier Demon Beast Core.

His green eyes were filled with a gleam of gratitude.

It held the inner core and bowed to Ye Jingcheng.

Then, Ye Jingcheng gave the beasts some Treasure Radiance.

He then returned to his cave abode and resumed his cultivation.

Beside the cave abode, a closer look would reveal a vast amount of lightning spreading outwards.

These are the 180-odd Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle.

These Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle all hatched six months ago.

They were in an insect chamber that emitted a large amount of lightning every day. At first, Ye Jingcheng thought about how to clear the lightning, but then Ye Jingcheng gave up.

These lightning bolts had no effect on him after he set up the mother-child Blood Pact.

Furthermore, his Beast Communion four Hidden-Wing Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle had an even smaller impact on him.

However, the consumption of these 180-plus Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle is considerable, and they now consume a large amount of spirit fish meat every day.

Fortunately, while the number of sea spirit fish and Demon Beast may not be endless, they are still relatively easy to obtain with a little effort.

In particular, the Roc Fish also has the ability to catch spirit fish, which greatly eases Ye Jingcheng's financial burden.

However, every few days, Ye Jingcheng would train these Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle.

With so many Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle, it's natural to need to set up a thunder array.

He also used the Lineage's contribution points to exchange for a technique called the Heaven-Opening Divine Drum Insect Array.

However, the current Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle are still too small to truly train the Bug Formation.

He's currently just training these Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle to release lightning according to instructions.

At the same time, it is supplemented with the Spirit Nurturing Pill to induce spiritual growth and the Spirit-Transforming Pill to open the spirit and enhance spiritual intelligence.

When Ye Jingcheng returned to his cave abode, the underground cave in the sea opened again, and this time, countless spirit fish emerged from the cave entrance of the island lake.

These fish numbered three or four hundred, far more than the number Ye Jingcheng had attracted with the Demon-Luring Grass.

After the spirit fish have all emerged, the Roc Fish will appear.

At this moment, the Roc Fish grew even larger, clearly having broken through to the second tier.

The energy bubbles emanating from the enormous fish head are even larger and more powerful; a single flap of its wings can stir up waves and tsunamis, preventing these fish from escaping.

Their ability to herd fish is also extremely powerful!

However, at that moment, a sea spike suddenly struck.

This gave Roc Fish a big fright.

Only then did it see the Golden-Scaled Beast baring its teeth at it.

Upon seeing this, the Roc Fish became enraged and swallowed hard with its large mouth.

It swallowed quite a few spirit fish.

Seeing this, the Golden-Scaled Beast became even angrier.

However, as soon as the spirit fish arrived, countless Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle from afar swarmed towards this place like locusts.

The Golden-Scaled Beast's eyes widened immediately, and it began to strangle the fish.

Getting angry is a small matter; not having fish to eat is a big deal.

Ye Jingcheng looked down at the island, a slight smile appearing in his eyes.

These Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle are currently only at the mid-stage of Tier 1.

We'll wait until the late stage of the first tier, when 180 Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle will set Heaven-Opening Divine Drum Thunder Formation.

At that time, even cultivators at the Purple Mansion had to give way.

The leading Thunder Rhinoceros Beetle was noticeably larger, and its aura appeared to be at the peak of the mid-stage of the first tier.

Ye Jingcheng also planned to let the Thunder Rhino King take the Advancement Pill first after some time.

Just as Ye Jingcheng hesitated, he sensed another surge of Divine Soul.

"Master!" A divine thought wave rang in his mind, and Ye Jingcheng couldn't help but look at another Array on the island.

The next moment, another burst of intense golden light appeared.

Ye Jingcheng waved his hand to dispel the Array, and a huge Golden Falcon flew into the sky.

"Chirp!" It chirped loudly in the sky.

As it took flight, it transformed into a golden dot in the blink of an eye, its speed becoming increasingly terrifying; Ye Jingcheng hadn't even seen it clearly yet.

The Golden-Scaled Beast was overjoyed and ready to provoke them.

But in the blink of an eye, it was dumbfounded.

That speed was incredible, and keep in mind that the Golden Falcon was still flying into the sky; its dive speed was even faster.

In less than two breaths, the Golden Falcon, having had its fill of the sky, transformed into a beam of golden light and plummeted down. The intense golden light instantly transformed into a golden sword.

This golden sword is too big and too fast.

Ye Jingcheng felt that his Divine Sense couldn't even grasp it.

The next moment, even Golden Falcon couldn't stop himself.

The sword struck the sea, and instantly, water splashed everywhere, as if the sea had been cleaved in two, creating waves hundreds of feet high.

The already clear blue sea was ultimately outshone by the golden light.

As the golden light faded and the sea gradually calmed, the Golden Falcon flew to Ye Jingcheng.

Its wingspan is now a full two zhang (approximately 6.6 meters) long, and its pair of golden beaks are even longer.

The most significant change, of course, is its golden-yellow roc legs!

It is covered with golden Spirit Patterns that can form the Golden Claw Secret Art of Golden Great Roc Bird.

At this moment, the Golden Falcon can be said to combine the advantages of the Golden Great Roc Bird and the Golden Falcon.

Its dive speed can be said to have reached the peak of the third order.

Such a Golden Falcon is a deadly weapon, whether for escaping or attacking.

"Chirp! Thank you, Master!" the Golden Falcon cried out, expressing its gratitude once again.

Ye Jingcheng was immediately extremely satisfied, and couldn't help but look down on the Golden-Scaled Beast.

The first Golden-Scaled Beast to break through didn't even say thank you.

"Good, keep up the good work, you can reach even higher levels!" Ye Jingcheng knew that Golden Falcon was quite intelligent now, so he spoke up as well.

Upon hearing this, Golden Falcon indeed became very expectant.

Ye Jingcheng inputted another page of Treasure Radiance into Golden Falcon, and then threw him a third-tier Golden Bright Pill to help Golden Falcon consolidate his cultivation.

Of course, the only drawback is that he still doesn't have a golden Spirit Root; otherwise, with the Beast Communion's feeding back, he could have broken through to the mid-stage of the Purple Mansion realm.

Thinking of this, Ye Jingcheng couldn't help but look forward to the breakthroughs of the Jade-Scale Flood Dragon and the Four-Colored Cloud Deer.

With both breakthroughs achieved, his breakthroughs also accelerated.

Of course, at this moment, with the Golden Falcon emerging from seclusion, even if the Jade-Scale Flood Dragon and the Four-Colored Cloud Deer hadn't, Ye Jingcheng no longer needed to simply find some ordinary Demon Beast to kill as before.

He now has a multitude of choices.

Moreover, being stuck on this island makes it difficult to complete the task of collecting demon souls, and it's also hard to feed one's own Demon Beast.

"Golden Falcon, go search the nearby waters. As long as it's not a powerful demon at the late stage of the third tier, we can take action on our own!" Ye Jingcheng said.

After the Golden Falcon broke through, in addition to its speed, the Golden Sword Secret Art, and the Golden Claw Secret Art, its eye power was also extremely astonishing.

Upon closer inspection, one can also see numerous Spirit Patterns within the pupils.

Upon hearing this, the Golden Falcon didn't hesitate and immediately spread its wings and flew away.

In fact, Ye Jingcheng also knew that the Golden Falcon was, after all, a bird of prey, and the breakthrough required it to fly.

Not flying isn't smooth sailing; it's also about expanding its frame. Once it's mastered, its speed will become even faster.

The Golden-Scaled Beast, however, was quite quiet this time and didn't try to fight the Golden Falcon.

It had witnessed the Secret Method of transforming the body into a golden sword; it couldn't withstand it.

Of course, the most crucial point is that the Golden Falcon is too fast; it can't touch it.

But this didn't mean it had given up; instead, it chewed on the spirit fish while looking eagerly at Ye Jingcheng.

He wanted to consume a third-tier Earth Attribute demon core elixir.

It's not far from the mid-stage of the third tier!
