Chapter 482: Urging the Thunder Rhinoceros, Golden Scale Breakthrough (Double Release for Monthly Votes)
In the cultivation world, time flows without a trace; half a year has gently passed away once more.
On a mysterious island, fruit trees bloom, along with newly rooted peach trees.
Each branch is adorned with blossoms, each the size of a baby's fist, exceptionally radiant and magnificent.
With the gentle breeze, countless flowers sway across the island.
At that moment, a crimson light descended in the distance, and soon a red-crowned sea crane approached from afar.
This red-crowned sea crane was enormous, almost reaching Tier Three.
It descended straight towards the peach tree.
However, before the red-crowned sea crane landed completely, two True Essence Fireballs appeared in the void.
One fast and one slow, they instantly blasted the red-crowned sea crane.
The sea crane reacted quickly, but the fireball's attack was too powerful.
Soon, it fell down.
Ye Jingcheng stepped out, accompanied by the Red Flame Fox and the Peach Wood Spirit Shadow.
"Master, these ravenous beasts still want to eat my peaches!" The Peach Wood Demon grumbled loudly, appearing somewhat furious.
Its body pulled the corpse of the red-crowned sea crane in front of Ye Jingcheng using its roots.
Although its actions were swift, its words left Ye Jingcheng exasperated.
He didn't respond, as he had to admit, the Peach Wood Demon's bloom was almost as enticing as Demon-enticing Grass.
This wasn't Dust Concealment Island but an island Ye Jingcheng found nearby; apart from the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon and the Golden Falcon, Ye Jingcheng didn't have beasts to hunt demon beasts.
He had to come out himself.
And at this moment, the peach season was surprisingly effective!
This was already the tenth demon beast he had slain.
After collecting the demon beast inner core and beast soul, Ye Jingcheng spoke, "Let's go, prepare for the next island!"
However, just then, Ye Jingcheng suddenly felt a fluctuation in his divine soul.
"Return!"
Ye Jingcheng directly took out the Blue Spirit Shuttle.
He headed towards Dust Concealment Island.
The island they hunted on wasn't far from Dust Concealment Island; once they set foot on the island, Ye Jingcheng arrived at the insect room he had previously prepared.
The first to break through was the Thunder Rhinoceros Insect.
Moreover, all Thunder Rhinoceros Insects completed their breakthroughs.
The insect room was divided into two sections, the larger one housing the Hidden-wing Thunder Rhinoceros Insect, which Ye Jingcheng was most concerned about.
Inside, the four Thunder Rhinoceros Insects had grown to the size of an adult's palm.
Their giant Thunder Rhino Horns were as thick as two thumbs, filled with thunder arcs glowing in a dark hue.
The hidden wings on their backs became even longer, shimmering with silver light.
Of course, the most significant change was in the abdomen of the four Hidden-wing Thunder Rhinoceros Insects, where four distinct thunder patterns appeared.
These thunder patterns resembled a Thunder Arrow, Thunder Cloud, Thunder Snake, and Thunder Hammer.
Their aura had already reached the Tier Two Peak.
Once their cultivation stabilized, Ye Jingcheng could even find Tier Three Thunder Attribute Cores to let the four Hidden-wing Thunder Rhinoceros Insects break through to become Tier Three Thunder Rhinoceros Great Demons.
"Squeak, squeak, squeak!" The four Thunder Rhinoceros Insects emitted waves of longing divine soul fluctuations, crawling all over Ye Jingcheng, bringing with them traces of lightning which wouldn't harm them or Ye Jingcheng.
Ye Jingcheng promptly plucked them off one by one, feeding them Spirit Cultivation Pills and Treasure Light.
He placed the four Thunder Rhinoceros Insects outside, allowing them to release Thunder Light.
With the release, they no longer formed a Thunder Net as before; instead, they merged into the forms of the thunder patterns on their abdomens—a Thunder Hammer, a Thunder Arrow, a Thunder Snake, and a Thunder Cloud.
Among them, the Thunder Arrow was the fastest, the Thunder Hammer the most forceful, the Thunder Cloud the broadest, and the Thunder Snake the most agile.
Their power landed on the island, creating numerous giant craters.
The Thunder Light within the craters lingered for a long time.
This filled Ye Jingcheng with immense surprise.
The Thunder Skills released by the four Hidden-wing Thunder Rhinoceros Insects were unprecedentedly powerful.
Moreover, thanks to their larger size, they no longer required long intervals between using Thunder Skills; they could unleash five to six times in one go.
Ye Jingcheng took out a good amount of Spirit Beast Meat, allowing the Thunder Rhinoceros Insects to feast on it.
After retracting the Hidden-wing Thunder Rhinoceros Insects, Ye Jingcheng went to check on the remaining Thunder Rhinoceros Insects.
These Thunder Rhinoceros Insects were now all at Tier Two Foundation Establishment; after consuming the Tier Two Advancement Pill, two of them advanced twice, barely reaching the Late Stage of Tier Two, while most only advanced once, their cultivation at the Mid-stage Second Tier.
There were even three that hadn't succeeded in advancement even once, remaining at the Early Stage of Second Tier.
Seeing this, Ye Jingcheng decided not to bother exploring further, preparing Demon Luring Pills to urge the Thunder Rhinoceros Insects to grow.
Thunder Rhinoceros Insects are different from Five Poison Bees, as they can grow rapidly in just a year or two.
But these Thunder Rhinoceros Insects have been with Ye Jingcheng for over a decade.
Counting the time, he was already sixty-one years old, past the Jiazi year.
Ye Jingcheng hadn't urged them to grow before because he didn't have time.
But now his time was extremely abundant.
The breakthroughs of the Golden Scale Beast, the Golden Falcon, and the Jade Qilin Flood Dragon didn't seem to be improving.
Ye Jingcheng took out Demon-enticing Grass directly.
There are two secret techniques for urging growth; one is the Illusion Array combined with Celestial Emotion Pill, and the other is using Demon-enticing Grass.
Ye Jingcheng used the first method for the Five Poison Bees.
But the Celestial Emotion Pill of the first method was only Tier One, not suitable for the Thunder Rhinoceros Insects, and he didn't have the Illusion Array for Thunder Rhinoceros Insects anyway.
The second method involves directly using Demon-enticing Grass, though he didn't have a two-leaf Demon-enticing Grass; he only possessed a one-leaf one, around seven hundred years old, lacking three hundred years to grow another leaf.
Directly consuming it naturally wasn't enough, but the Ye Family had the pill formula for Demon Luring Pills, which was just perfect.
