Clan Cultivation: Starting from Beast Taming

Fengguo.

Speaking of Zhou Daoquan and others, they had hastily made their way and—as expected—arrived on the battlefield in time to provide powerful support for their side.

However, their addition merely brought a slight reprieve to the originally declining situation of the Heavenly Spirit Legion, without forming a true advantage.

On the battlefield, the ratio of casualties still favored heavier losses on the Heavenly Spirit Legion's side.

This was hardly surprising.

After all, the Demon Path Cultivators now invading the Tianling Region were disciples of various major sects from the Demon Element Realm, with methods and strength that were no match for their peers from Cultivator Families and smaller factions.

Therefore, even though the difference in numbers was not especially large, and the cultivators of the Heavenly Spirit Legion had some understanding and preparation for the Demon Path Cultivators' eccentric methods, it was still unavoidable that they would fall into traps and perish.

The advantage of the Heavenly Spirit Legion was that they were fighting on their home ground, able to conscript Cultivators and call for reinforcements more conveniently and swiftly than the enemy.

Thus, as long as the casualty ratio did not diverge too greatly, they could still accept it.

After all, as long as the roots of the major sects themselves were not harmed, the deaths and injuries among the Cultivators of their vassal Cultivator Families were of little significance.

Weren't these forces allowed to develop securely and afforded protection exactly for such times, to be of use?

Gradually, as time moved on, several waves of reinforcements for both sides joined the battlefield, escalating the scope of the battle to around two thousand combatants.

At that moment, something occurred that changed the tide of the battle!

Right then, a streak of azure Escape Light suddenly appeared above the battlefield, revealing a green-haired bizarre figure with cyan wings on his ribs and a One-Horned on his head.

The aura emanating from him, although not reaching the Golden Core Stage, was nonetheless slightly stronger than the average Purple Mansion Late Stage Cultivator.

And judging by his eccentric appearance, it was evident that he was a Cultivator from the Beast Demon Palace of the Demon Path.

Normally, this would have been manageable; after all, there were already nearly twenty Purple Mansion Phase Cultivators from both sides combined on the battlefield—a single addition should not have temporarily affected the overall situation.

But, to everyone's surprise, this man's strength was exceptionally formidable.

With a single flap of his wings, he could execute the Wind Escape Technique, appearing directly beside a Purple Mansion Cultivator of the Heavenly Spirit Legion in a fleeting move.

The two cyan Qimen Curved Sabers he wielded in his hands were extremely sharp, seemingly with Law Breaking effects, easily tearing through the Body Protection Divine Powers of some Purple Mansion Cultivators. With a slash of his dual sabers, their protective auras were easily shredded, and they were cleaved in two at the waist.

Within less than the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, he had successively ambushed and killed three Purple Mansion Phase Cultivators from the Heavenly Spirit Legion.

Such feats instantly disrupted the balance of high-level power on the battlefield, causing the remaining Purple Mansion Cultivators of the Heavenly Spirit Legion to feel endangered, some even beginning to flee.

This further emboldened those Demon Cultivators, boosting the morale and spirit of their troops, which suddenly erupted into twelvefold combat effectiveness.

As a result, a collapse was inevitable and occurred from the top down!

In this disintegration, Zhou Daoquan also separated from his subordinates and chose a path to flee alone.

Unfortunately, his luck did not hold; shortly after he fled, he caught the attention of that Winged Demon Cultivator.

The creature flapped its wings and covered several miles in an instant, appearing only a few hundred yards away from Zhou Daoquan in the blink of an eye.

This scene terrified Daoquan, who quickly took out a high-quality Third Order Defensive Talisman and activated it, forming a Golden Light Armor composed of countless golden runes around his body.

But in the next instant, the Winged Demon Cultivator appeared behind him, his dual blades fiercely striking the protection outside his body.

Under the slash of those cyan curved blades, the two layers of protection formed by Daoquan's Magic Artifact and innate Divine Powers instantly shattered, leaving only the Golden Light Armor to block the sabers' edge.

Yet after the failed strike, a flash of demonic light flared from the dark cyan One-Horned atop the Winged Demon Cultivator's head, releasing a beam of dark cyan light that struck Zhou Daoquan.

Not only did the blow knock Daoquan from the sky instantaneously, it also dimmed the radiance of the Golden Light Armor on his body, revealing numerous cracks.

"My life is over!"

As Daoquan helplessly plummeted, a look of utter despair filled his eyes.

Watching the Winged Demon Cultivator flapping his wings and swinging his dual blades towards him again, he had the will to fight back but was powerless to do so.

But at that very moment, a golden-yellow radiance suddenly burst from the ground, sweeping directly towards the Winged Demon Cultivator.

"Hm?"

The Winged Demon Cultivator's gaze shifted, sensing danger, and hastily flapped his wings to abandon the attack on Zhou Daoquan, instantly escaping the area.

Then, a burst of yellow light flashed from the ground and a huge earthy-yellow turtle emerged.

"How can this turtle resemble Zhengchun's Golden Armor Rock Turtle so much?"

Watching the giant turtle that had unexpectedly appeared and saved him, Zhou Daoquan's eyes showed an uncertain look.

Then he saw the giant turtle spit something out of its mouth, and a yellow light congealed in midair to form the words "Third Elder, follow me."

Seeing this, Zhou Daoquan's eyes lit up with joy, and without the slightest doubt, he quickly leaped onto the back of the turtle.

Immediately afterward, a surge of yellow light emerged from the turtle, enveloping both him and itself, and in an instant, they vanished from their original spot.

In midair, the Winged Demon Cultivator witnessed this scene with a look of astonishment in his eyes.

"What kind of Demon Beast is this turtle? Why does it, merely a Third Order lower-class beast, give me a very dangerous feeling? And how can it, with such Cultivation Level, carry someone else along to perform the Earth Escape Technique and leave? The mastery of the Earth Escape Technique is too profound, isn't it?"
