Clan Cultivation: Starting from Beast Taming

Only then did the twenty Golden Core Stage cultivators make their move.

Three Golden Core Stage cultivators from the Green Lotus Temple stood up at the same time, each sweeping their sleeve to bring forth an ancient bronze sword of simple design.

Next, the three of them formed sword techniques with their hands and, with the driving force of their mana, the three seemingly identical ancient bronze swords shone brilliantly in an instant.

"Quick!"

As if telepathically linked, the three Green Lotus Temple Golden Core Stage cultivators shouted in unison, and the three ancient bronze swords, radiating intense sword light, transformed into three azure sword rainbows that shot towards the black water curtain barrier ahead.

Meanwhile, the other seventeen Golden Core Stage cultivators also urged their prized magical artifacts to follow closely behind the three azure sword rainbows and bombarded the water curtain barrier.

In an instant, the radiant light from the twenty or so magical artifacts eclipsed the glow from the various spells and Divine Skills cast by Zhou Chun and the others, numbering in the thousands.

Under the powerful control of the Golden Core Stage cultivators' Divine Consciousness, the force of each magical artifact was perfectly coordinated with the others, preventing any mishaps of mutual interference.

This spectacle of magical artifacts in flight astonished Zhou Chun and the rest, to the point where they even forgot to continue their assault.

But as the force of those magical artifacts finally struck the water curtain barrier, they erupted in a dazzling array of spiritual light so intense that Zhou Chun and the other cultivators, who had not reached the Purple Mansion Phase, felt a sudden pain in their eyes, as if burned, causing an involuntary closure of their eyes and tears to flow.

"My eyes!"

Some Foundation Establishment early-phase cultivators with lower endurance couldn't help but cover their eyes and scream in agony.

Although Zhou Chun was much stronger than them, he too lowered his head, his eyes temporarily blinded.

It was because the spiritual light burst forth from the magical artifacts was simply too blinding, enough to damage their frail eyes with merely a glance.

Not just the eyes, but even the Divine Consciousness could not get near the place where the magical artifacts' might raged.

Is this the might of a Golden Core Stage cultivator going all out?

Is this the power of a magical artifact?

Zhou Chun struggled to channel mana toward his eyes, trying to swiftly regain his sight.

Yet his heart was filled with shock.

He had only experienced first-hand the ultimate speed of a Golden Core Stage cultivator wielding a magical artifact for flight and seen the aftermath of a Golden Core Stage cultivator's attack that caused mountains to collapse and the earth to crack.

Witnessing Golden Core Stage cultivators in combat like this was his first time.

Moreover, this first time was seeing twenty Golden Core Stage cultivators taking action simultaneously!

Before this, his only knowledge of what a Golden Core Stage cultivator's combat would be like came from the words left behind by senior cultivators in the classics.

But how could mere words describe the power of a Golden Core Stage cultivator, and how could it compare to witnessing with one's own eyes a Golden Core Stage cultivator in action?

By the time Zhou Chun finally managed to restore his sight, he saw that the situation had drastically changed.

The black water curtain barrier protecting the Black Dragon Branch Temple Gate had been torn open with a massive gap, revealing various people and objects within the Black Dragon Branch Temple Gate.

High above in the sky, the twenty Golden Core Stage cultivators from Jingguo Country were locked in ceaseless battle with ten Golden Core Stage cultivators from the Dragon Transformation Sect, with two black-colored Flood Dragons and a giant Blackwater Profound Tortoise Demon Beast also involved in the fray.

The three fourth-tier Demon Beasts were indeed the upper fourth-tier Black Flood Dragon, the middle fourth-tier Ink Flood Dragon, and the lower fourth-tier Blackwater Profound Tortoise recorded in the intelligence.

Battling the upper fourth-tier Black Flood Dragon, whose strength was overwhelming, was a late Golden Elixir Phase cultivator from the Moon Wheel Sect and the famously renowned late Golden Core Stage Loose Cultivator "Tianjing Hermit" of Jingguo Country. The two late-phase cultivators, even when teamed up, were no match for it, requiring the added assistance of a mid-phase Golden Core Stage cultivator from the Green Lotus Temple to barely contain it.

Meanwhile, the middle fourth-tier Ink Flood Dragon also kept two mid-phase Golden Core Stage cultivators and one early-phase Golden Core Stage cultivator occupied.

And the fourth-order lower-grade Blackwater Profound Tortoise, whose master was none other than Di Long, the Hall Master of the Black Dragon Hall, was now coordinating with its master to confront one late-stage Golden Core Cultivator and two mid-stage Golden Core Cultivators from the Green Lotus Temple.

It was precisely because these four restrained nine Golden Core Stage Cultivators that the remaining nine Dragon Transformation Sect Golden Core Stage Cultivators were able to engage with eleven Golden Core Stage Cultivators from Jingguo Country, albeit being slightly overpowered.

"In obedience to the decree of our sect's respected uncle, all who can still move, immediately attack from the breach to the Black Dragon Branch Temple Gate. We must destroy the foundation of the Guardian Great Formation within and prevent the formation from recovering!"

Just as Zhou Chun looked up at the sky, attempting to peek at the magical battle of the Golden Core Stage Cultivators, a thunderous roar from Taoist Mingjing suddenly erupted.

Even though Taoist Mingjing had shouted with all his might, the loud disturbances caused by the battle of the Golden Core Stage Cultivators above meant that Zhou Chun could barely grasp the meaning of his words, and many others simply could not hear what he was saying at all.

Luckily, although the sound was disrupted, transmitting via Divine Sense was not.

Therefore, in no time, Taoist Mingjing and some Cultivators from the Green Lotus Temple quickly informed everyone via Divine Sense, managing to pass down the order in the shortest amount of time.

Yet, this order caused many Cultivators to complain incessantly.

They had already exhausted a large amount of Mana while attacking the Black Dragon Branch Temple's Guardian Great Formation. Those in a better condition had only about fifty to sixty percent of their Mana left, while those in worse condition were down to just thirty percent.

In such a state, they were still being ordered to assault the mountain. Wasn't this sending them to their deaths?

For a moment, many Cultivators hesitated and stood still, reluctant to move forward.

It was at this time that Zhou Mingde let out a loud shout, "Zhou Family Cultivators, follow me!"

With that, he rode the Fire Divine Jackal and led the charge.

Thanks to Zhou Chongshan's reminder, Zhou Chun and others who had been maintaining ample Mana, now heeded the call of the Supreme Elder of their family and quickly followed behind.

This scene caught the attention of Taoist Mingjing and many Cultivators from the three major sects, causing them to take sharp notice of the Zhou Family from Jiufeng Ridge.

Straightaway, they heard Taoist Mingjing loudly say, "Fellow Daoists, rest assured. Right now, the rebels from the Dragon Transformation Sect within are also exhausted of Mana. Their condition can only be worse than ours!"

No sooner had his shout ended, he too led those Cultivators from the three major sects and vigorously charged forward.

"This junior doesn't understand, knowing that we have to assault at this time, why didn't those Golden Core Stage seniors give a heads-up in advance, allowing everyone to take Rejuvenation Pills to restore Mana?" Read the latest on My Virtual Library Empire

Within the Zhou Family's ranks, Zhou Jiarui, seeing those Cultivators behind who had little Mana left yet, due to the order, had to continue their charge, asked Zhou Mingde with a puzzled face.

Before Zhou Mingde could respond, Zhou Chun had already spoken up for him.

"Uncle, if you can think of it, how could those Golden Core Stage seniors not have thought of it?"

"If they had given prior notice, everyone would take Rejuvenation Pills to restore Mana while attacking the Guardian Great Formation. Wouldn't that let the people from the Dragon Transformation Sect see through our plans?"

"They would also take Spirit Pills to recover Mana and even refine nature's spiritual energy to restore Mana. Do you think we could break the Guardian Great Formation then? Would our condition still be better than theirs?"

Zhou Jiarui was left speechless by this response and fell silent.

Soon, the Zhou Family's vanguard, along with the Cultivators from the three major sects, charged through the gap into the Black Dragon Branch Temple Gate.

By now, the Black Dragon Hall Cultivators, having been instructed by Di Long, the Hall Master of the Black Dragon Hall, were also mustering their remaining strength and surging toward the breach to intercept the assaulting Cultivators.

Compared to Zhou Chun and the others, they truly had their backs against the wall and could only fight to the death for a chance at survival.

The brutal battle quickly broke out.

To prevent the battle of the Purple Mansion Phase Cultivators from affecting Zhou Chun and the other Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators, Zhou Mingde took the Fire Divine Jackal and quickly left the Zhou Family's ranks, heading straight for a formation node pointed out by Zhou Chongshan. That was also the spot that the Protectors of the Black Dragon Hall were fiercely guarding.
