Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension

Chapter 1517: Chapter 821: Heavenly Rift Valley Changes Hands, Immortal Bone

Wow, wow... piercing and unpleasant howls echoed from the darkness.

Below the Heavenly Rift Valley, the bright radiance emitted by the barrier dispelled the darkness within ten miles around, yet beyond, the darkness grew deeper and more sinister. The Two-winged Giant Lizards occasionally crossed the light-dark boundary, striving to showcase their terrifying side, the intimidation intent all too clear.

However, the group of Two-winged Giant Lizards always roamed around in the surrounding darkness, never daring to charge into the Bright Barrier ten miles away.

Inside the barrier at this moment, Zhao Yongxian pointed at the lurking Demon Lizards and couldn’t help but laugh: "Haha, this bunch of beasts finally knows fear!"

Zhao Sheng stood aside, nodding with a smile.

Nearby the two, a group of Foundation Establishment juniors, regardless of their injuries, were joyfully cutting apart the corpses of the Giant Lizards. Demon Core, flesh, Scale Armor, and others were each extracted and released into the Storage Bag, while the temporarily useless viscera and skeletons were dragged into the barrier, piled indiscriminately to form a Skeleton Mountain, awaiting future processing.

Before long, a solemn and grand voice suddenly spread throughout the stronghold: "Quickly return to inside the barrier, the Giant Lizard group is about to launch an attack!"

Upon hearing the warning, Zhao Sheng, Zhao Yongxian, and the group of Foundation Establishment juniors immediately dropped what they were doing and swiftly retreated into the barrier.

Just as everyone left, seven or eight Two-winged Giant Lizards shot out from the darkness, roaring as they charged toward the Bright Barrier.

Boom, boom!

Massive boulders weighing tens of thousands of pounds suddenly fell from the sky, heavily crashing onto the barrier, instantly stirring up waves, the barrier flickered dramatically, its brightness quickly dimming.

Wow wow!

Two-winged Giant Lizards rushed within a hundred feet of the barrier, suddenly folding their wings, opening their mouths wide to spew large swaths of grayish toxic mist.

The toxic mist fell on the surface of the barrier and began to corrode immediately, the barrier sizzled and unbelievably melted visibly, the strength of the toxicity evident.

The faces of three Foundation Establishment juniors guarding the array’s core changed dramatically, immediately taking the completely depleted Top-grade Spirit Stone from the Magic Platform and replacing it with a new Top-grade Spirit Stone.

Simultaneously, the Flame Pearls at the tops of numerous towers gleamed together, instantly emitting flame beams as thick as thighs, shooting into the darkness above.

Crackle!

Several Giant Lizard corpses abruptly fell from the upper sky, crashing onto the barrier, then sliding down.

At the same time, Zhao Sheng, Zhao Yongxian, He Chong, and Wei Shu, the four Golden Core Masters, guarded the southeast, northwest directions, each position manned by a dozen Foundation Establishment juniors ready for utilization.

Facing the siege from the Giant Lizard group, the cultivators from the three clans defended while attacking, steadily depleting the Giant Lizard group’s numbers through numerous prohibitions and the array barrier.

Military tactics say to encircle tenfold, attack fivefold, divide doubly.

Since ancient times, it’s always been easier to defend than to conquer!

Therefore, the three clans had long established a strategy to first ambush the Giant Lizard group, intending to provoke these local overlords, then shut down the Yin Sha Mysterious Array to lure the Giant Lizard group for an attack.

Facts proved this group of Two-winged Giant Lizards had been accustomed to reigning in the Heavenly Rift Valley for so long that their intelligence had long regressed, possessing brute force and lacking any wisdom.

Even the simplest strategy of luring the enemy caused this group of beasts to pour everything into the attack.

In the southern position of the barrier, Zhao Sheng hovered mid-air, looking at the ceaselessly diving Two-winged Giant Lizards, his Divine Sense transformed into hundreds of strands, penetrating through the barrier, secretly triggering the previously set dark traps.

Crackle!

In an instant, countless electric lights surged from the ground, piercing the void, connecting to form a dense Thunder Net, enveloping three or four Giant Lizards within a hundred feet radius.

Dense lightning struck the Giant Lizards, electrocuting them unconscious in the blink of an eye, soon falling to the ground like stones, their fate unknown.

A thought flashed by, the ground burst forth with vast electric lights again, covering the surrounding space within a hundred feet in an instant.

The Third-tier, Fourth-tier... even the Sixth Rank Demon Lizard with combat power comparable to a Perfect Golden Core, once caught in the Thunder Net trap, all were electrocuted unconscious, left at the mercy of slaughter.

Though Northeast and West weren’t as relaxed as the South, under the command of three Golden Core Masters, Golden Armored Corpses emerged from the ground, fearlessly charging at the incoming Giant Lizards.

Despite the constant consumption of Golden Armored Corpses, the Bright Barrier wasn’t broken through by the Giant Lizards.

Amidst the Giant Lizards’ frenzied siege on the stronghold, Zhao Zhuanggong and the He Family Ancestors joined forces to confront the strongest Two-winged Giant Lizard.

This Giant Lizard Commander exceeded a hundred feet in length, its body vast like a mountain, its eyes transformed into Dragon Eyes, a spiral horn over eight feet long grew at the center of its head, remarkably in a half-dragon transformation state.

Once fully dragon-transformed, the beast would certainly advance to a Great Demon King, its power comparable to a Divinity Transformation True Monarch.

Even so, the half-dragon transformed Two-winged Giant Lizard was incredibly formidable, nearly reaching a Half-step Divinity Transformation Realm.

Both Nascent Soul Ancestors unleashed their full strength and, armed with Clan’s Spiritual Treasure, barely held their ground under joint force.

The attack methods of Two-winged Giant Lizards were extremely simple and rough, nothing more than biting, wing slashing, and poison spraying, along with aerial object throwing.

Combined with their naturally strong flesh, resulted in this pack of Two-winged Giant Lizards having nearly no natural enemies in the Heavenly Rift Valley.

Until today, they encountered the inherently intelligent Human Clan Cultivators.

As days passed by, the number of Two-winged Giant Lizards greatly diminished.

The later the stage they reached, the weaker the Giant Lizards’ offensive became, posing little threat to the stronghold.

Two months later, Zhao and He, both Nascent Souls, lured the Giant Lizard Commander near the stronghold, then suddenly activated the Yin Sha Mist Array, entrapping the half-dragon transformed Demon Lizard within.

Upon witnessing this scene, Zhao Sheng knew the time had come, so he detonated the Positive and Negative Five Elements Thunder Array.
