Chapter 12: Beast Shockwave

  Wood Fire returns to its origin, flowing into the Dan Tian.

  Transforming with yin and yang, transformed into true qi.

  The vital energy rushes through the Eight Extraordinary Meridians, circulating in the Small Heavenly Cycle and gathering in the Large Heavenly Cycle.

  The vital energy converges, as if hundreds of rivers flow together.

  Flowing throughout the body, strengthening the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys.

  Yin-yang cultivation of the body, dual cultivation of internal and external.

  Boom!

  A barrier within his body seemed to have been broken through, and Chen Yuan's vitality became even more vigorous, it was the symbol of stepping into the later stage of actual cultivation, full of life and vitality.

  Chen Yuan's eyes burst out with excitement, overjoyed:

  "It's broken through!"

  The accumulation of the Yin-Yang Cultivation Technique is more than twice that of an ordinary cultivation method. After completing the dual cultivation of yin and yang, Chen Yuan's strength was not just a simple upgrade from the middle stage to the late stage of actual cultivation. The power of Yang enhanced his vitality, making Chen Yuan's essence, blood, and Qi appear exceptionally vigorous. The power of Yin enhanced his spiritual foundation, making Chen Yuan's mental strength even stronger.

  Vitality aside, spiritual power is of utmost importance for a cultivator.

  Array refinement and array manipulation both require mental energy expenditure, especially for composite large arrays. To merge various attribute powers, manipulation must also consider defense and offense, requiring constant divided attention. Without strong mental power, it is impossible to control.

  Strength increased, the formation in hand felt more comfortable. Seeing that Huīyìn Lóng and Jùlì Shíhóu were still consuming energy, Chen Yu immediately injected his true energy, gathered the fire spirit energy, and guided it into Huīyìn Lóng's body.

  "Roar of Ashes!"

  Ahh!

  The mighty power surged, the gray ash dragon opened its mouth and let out a furious roar. The rolling flames were like waves of the sea, and the fierce blaze burned the stone monkey to a deep red color, its petrified exterior slowly melting away.

  Ouch...

  The giant ape let out a mournful howl and turned into molten lava. A single, flashing red crystal, however, stubbornly continued to shine with a fierce light amidst the flames.

  With the death of the stone monkey, the second wave of attack also came to an end.

  Chen Yuan broke through but one of his feet was injured.

  Just now the situation was urgent, he had no time to treat his wound. Now that the monster is temporarily resting, he also needs to check his wound.

  The pant leg was rolled up, and the calf was a bloody mess.

  The fire cat may look small, but its teeth are absolutely sharp. One bite and it goes in half an inch into the flesh.

  Chen Yuan looked at the wound, took out the medicine and applied it, temporarily stopping the bleeding.

  He waited until he had treated his wound, and then the third wave of demonic tide began to launch.

  "Waaaah!" The strongest third-level beast king hidden among the demon beasts let out a heaven-shaking howl.

  A strange wave of sound stirred up a huge gale, spreading in all directions, flying sand and walking stones, a mess.

  The first and second-level demon beasts made way one after another, neatly welcoming the appearance of their leader.

  A snowy body, flowing water-like lines, powerful limbs like Kong Wu, claws sharper than metal, a proud head held high, a haughty gaze sweeping, as if a sharp blade piercing into one's chest cavity.

  Snowy Lion of the Underworld!

  The one and only king on the outskirts of the dark forest!

  Although its strength is only third-tier, it can manipulate both wind and water elemental spiritual energy, making it more troublesome than a lower-tier fourth-tier demon beast.

  "No wonder Zhu Changrong didn't actively resist this beast tide, I'm afraid he discovered that this beast tide might bring out this guy, so he secretly designed to get me to take the Soul-Calling Grass!"

  Anyone who is a monk near the Giant Tree Fortress knows how formidable this demon beast is. Originally thought that this wave of demons would pass by with a 90% chance, but seeing this handsome and majestic Underworld Snow Lion, Chen Yuan's heart skipped a beat.

  Hesitate again, there is no way to retreat.

  It's already a case of burning one's boats and breaking one's cauldrons, Chen Yuan didn't think much about it either. He tightened the bandage in his hand with force and stood up straight:

  "The final wave, a desperate last-ditch effort!"

  As soon as the voice fell, the gray ash dragon wandered and hummed in the array, the dragon's hum was rolling, although it was not the real dragon's sound, but it also had an inviolable king's domineering aura, in the world of demons, the dragon is the true king!

  "Roar!" The Snow Lion took a step forward, its majestic aura pressing down on the surroundings. The beasts behind it grew even more frenzied, responding with loud, long howls to the sky.

  A neat whistle, gathering a huge amount of energy. On Chen Yuan's head, countless demonic powers gathered together, guided by the demonic power of Xue Shi Zi, like a magnet, collecting the powers of other demons to form a terrifying demon ball with a diameter of ten meters.

  "Beast Wave!"

  Chen Yuan's eyes narrowed, humans had been relying on arrays to resist the demon tribe for countless years. Human arrays became more and more perfect, more and more systematic, forming a unity of heaven, earth, and man. Heaven referred to astronomical phenomena and timing, which were the most difficult factors to control in an array. Earth referred to terrain and geography, such as establishing a manor in a mountain valley, relying on cliffs to establish natural city walls. The lake center's lake fort relied on the lake water to form a natural moat.

  And humans, apart from those living in the inner world of cultivation, are mainly responsible for hosting and establishing spiritual structures that complement and support the formation of arrays.

  For example, the seven fire pillars in Bai Xiao Zhuang are actually called Huo She Jian Ta. This arrow tower can be manipulated by monks in the real cultivation period and can release long-range fire arrows to attack enemies during combat.

  Seven Fire Snake Arrows combined and formed a protective city array.

  This is just the defensive residential building, and in the monk's residence of the level of giant tree fort or skeleton wood city, there are also fire wells and spiritual springs that provide monks with cultivation array buildings.

  Condensing the three elements of heaven, earth and man, all formations can become top-grade formations. The unity of the three talents is the most solid triangle, and no matter how the demon beasts charge, they cannot break through.

  But the demon beasts have not been without their own tricks all these years, they too have slowly learned to condense their powers into techniques, and the 'Beast Shockwave' before them is actually one of the most common core techniques of the demon beasts' attacking array.

  Ashen Array is a disposable war array that only occupies the person and this point, without even having buildings as auxiliary support. Now it has to face the terrifying attack of 'siege'.

  "Can't let it form!" Chen Yuan knew the horror of the Beast Shockwave, last time at Bai Xiao Manor, it almost destroyed everything under its power. The terrifying force directly blasted three Fire Snake Arrow Towers, and more than 20 real cultivators were instantly blown to pieces. In the center of the manor, a crater over 30 meters deep was formed, and it took three days to fill it up.

  The beast wave now is even more ferocious than the last one dominated by Huo Lian Huan, this strike makes Chen Yuan doubt if it can destroy half of Bai Xiao Zhuang.

  There is no turning back; Chen Yuan has nothing but a solitary gamble.

  "Add wood to the fire and give me fuel!"

  The Soul Refining Disk spun rapidly, and all the wood-type spiritual energy inside burst into bloom. At the same time, the Ashen Dragon's mouth spewed out fierce flames, instantly igniting the tree trunks, thorns, and roots transformed from the wood spiritual energy. In an instant, the entire large array was set ablaze.

  This is the final form of Gray Ash Array, completely abandoning defense, using the power of wood to burn flames and forming the most terrifying attack!

  Wood combustion, flames soaring rapidly.

  Ashen Dragon stirs in the heart of the flames, coiling them into a spiral.

  Chen Yuan concentrated his spiritual energy to the extreme, urging the Ash Dragon to absorb all the flames, and then the Ash Dragon became the central axis, transforming the flames into a spiral drill!

  In the midst of the flames, Chen Yuan's right hand held up the sky, bearing the enormous power generated by the flame vortex, and let out a furious roar:

  "This is my will! Ashes burst forth!"
