My Fairy Growth System

Thousand Beasts Mountain, eighth layer.

The battlefield on the ground, forty thousand Demonic Beasts appeared oppressively outside the small fortress.

Although the fortress walls were three zhang wide, they were only five zhang high.

Even though the beast tide was mainly composed of fierce Demonic Beasts, those below the Third Stage could not fly, but without the Five Elements Rotation Array, the Second Stage ones could easily leap onto the walls.

When the beast tide was still sixty zhang from the wall, Huang Zhangjie issued the command to fire the cannons because sixty zhang was within the range of the Spirit Stone Cannons.

Wu Guang had temporarily entrusted the control of sixteen Puppets to Huang Zhangjie, with one Puppet responsible for firing each cannon and another for loading the Medium Grade Spirit Stones.

If it weren’t for the fact that everyone had some wealth, they really wouldn’t have been able to afford using the Spirit Stone Cannons.

Beams of white light shot out from the muzzles, striking the group of Demonic Beasts and exploding into a shower of blood.

The First Stage Demonic Beasts died upon contact; if directly hit, the Second Stage ones were hard-pressed to survive, and even a slight graze would result in severe injuries.

While firing, Yu Qingtan took out the top-grade Spiritual Artifact, the White Desire Lute, that she got from Ru Yao, and strummed a noisy tune.

It was the Second Stage spell, Devil’s Penetrating Sound.

Such Sound Path Spiritual Artifacts as the White Desire Lute generally come with a sound amplification effect, which, under the stir of Yu Qingtan’s Spiritual Power, had the sound waves reaching into the horde of beast tides from all directions.

Suddenly, the advancing beast tide halted, with Saber-Toothed Tigers, Black-Backed Bears, Two-tailed Leopards, Thornwood Jackals, Carapace Wolves, Tiger Sparrows, and others stopping to cover their ears.

"Awoo~"

"Roar~"

"Chirp chirp~"

The First Stage Demonic Beasts clutched their heads and wailed miserably; after a few breaths, they began to bleed from all seven orifices, with the early First Stage ones starting to die.

Because the power was too dispersed, the mid and late First Stage Demonic Beasts didn’t die immediately, but even the mid First Stage ones felt as if their heads were about to explode.

Some mid First Stage Demonic Beasts, unable to bear the pain, actually plunged their claws into their own heads, ending their miserable lives.

This scene reminded Yu Qingtan of a past life version of Journey to the West, where Elder Tang incessantly talked about Minor Demons committing suicide. Fortunately, she herself could block out the Devil’s Sound.

She had tried listening to it before but gave up after enduring it for only three breaths.

Huang Zhangjie was also clicking his tongue in wonder beside her. His family had a profound heritage, and he naturally recognized the spell Yu Qingtan was using, but it was the first time he had seen someone else perform it with such explosive effects.

Huang Zhangjie simply stopped firing the Spirit Stone Cannons for the time being because nearly twenty thousand early First Stage Demonic Beasts were about to die out, and it was too wasteful to use them as the cannons were not accurate enough at this time.

Despite suffering heavy losses, only the early and mid First Stage Demonic Beasts in the thick fog halted their advance and moved to the side, while the late First Stage and Second Stage Demonic Beasts continued to push forward.

Soon, nearly twenty thousand more Demonic Beasts, all above late First Stage, appeared within visible range.

It was then that Huang Zhangjie resumed firing the Spirit Stone Cannons.

Even with the obstacle of the Spirit Stone Cannons and the Devil’s Sound, the Demonic Beasts still surged to the base of the small fortress.

Then, Second Stage Demonic Beasts directly climbed onto the battlements and attacked the membrane of light of the Five Elements Rotation Array.

Late First Stage Demonic Beasts piled up the corpses of the early First Stage ones that had died earlier at the base of the wall, creating a mountain of flesh, then climbed up to the top to attack.

A few hundred Tiger Sparrows also attacked the Five Elements Rotation Array from low in the sky.

For lower-rank Demonic Beasts, physical attacks were generally more powerful than spells.

The Five Elements Rotation Array was a Third Stage Great Array, cycling perpetually through the five elements, creating and sustaining life without end.

However, it was hastily set up after all and just barely reached the Third Stage, so with so many Demonic Beasts continuously attacking, it was uncertain how long it could hold.

When the walls were densely covered with Demonic Beasts, both above and below, and the number of visible Demonic Beasts again reached over forty thousand, Huang Zhangjie activated the Great Four Directions Thunder Fire Talisman Array that Fu Nian had arranged outside the Five Elements Rotation Array.

Because a Stealth Talisman had been added, and linked with the light membrane of the Five Elements Rotation Array, the Demonic Beasts didn’t detect it in advance.

The Great Four Directions Thunder Fire Talisman Array activated, and in an instant, flames engulfed the skies outside the small castle, interspersed with thunder striking down, as the demonic beasts wailed and fled backward.

Unfortunately, there were too many demonic beasts. Those that caught fire ran back, igniting the others.

The scene quickly became extremely chaotic and noisy, with the demonic beasts trampling and attacking each other.

Yu Qingtan smelled a strong scent of burning flesh and couldn’t help but intensify her use of Devil’s Penetrating Sound.

In the end, fewer than three thousand demonic beasts managed to safely escape back to the foggy area, most of which were Second Stage demonic beasts.

A thick layer of demonic beast corpses piled up outside the small castle, the fierce fire still burning atop them.

Yu Qingtan pretended to collapse to the ground, lacking spiritual power, while the Spirit Stone Cannon was also on the verge of overload and urgently needed to be shut down for a while.

In the high skies, Hu Sanniang noticed the situation below and tried to join the fray several times, but Li Daoyi fiercely held her back.

Hu Chi, Hu He, Hu Wan, and Hu Le were also blocked, even being at a disadvantage.

After more than thirty thousand demonic beasts in the later stages of the First Stage perished in the Great Four Directions Thunder Fire Talisman Array, Hu Sanniang completely lost her composure; her clansmen were among the fallen.

"Damn Human Race, roar– roar– roar–"

Hu Sanniang roared towards the direction of the fog, as if calling out for something.

Hu Chi, Hu He, Hu Wan, and Hu Le also howled in that direction.

All ten of them knew the Heart Sensing Technique, but the technique required the spiritual beasts to be willing to communicate with the human heart to be used normally.

However, they soon found out.

An Escape Light broke through the fog, transforming into a yellow-robed figure, appearing above the small castle.

Disheveled yellow hair draped over his shoulders, with high forehead and nose, a piece of withered grass at the corner of his mouth, and a pair of red pupils that were extraordinarily seductive.

Though in human form, he emitted the aura of a peak Third Stage Major Demon.

"Sanniang, I told you to let me take action, but you insisted on showing off your strength. Look now, you still need me to make a move."

As he spoke, his right leg raised and then chopped downward.

A yellow light blade appeared, slicing through the air; the cut quickly extended forward, reaching the nascent sword domain of Li Daoyi.

Then, Li Daoyi’s nascent sword domain crumbled like tofu under the blade, shattering into spiritual light.

Li Daoyi immediately tried to dodge using his sword Escape Technique, but the yellow light blade relentlessly pursued him.

Helpless, Li Daoyi used the Five Elements Linked Sword Formation with a solemn expression to defend.

"Crack–crack–"

Li Daoyi’s yellow earth-attributed spiritual swords and golden metal-attributed spiritual swords broke in two, barely stopping the yellow light blade, shattering it into spiritual light.

Li Daoyi was knocked backward, flying through the air and spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood.

"Third Stage spell, Xuan Huang Space Cleaving Slash; with such power, the Earth Path is feared to have already been mastered."

Everyone’s expression turned grave; they momentarily disengaged from the battle. Fang Ling voiced the words of Ancestor Blood Xi from his mind.

Previously, even though Hu Sanniang and the other demonic beasts were Third Stage Heavenly Demons, their Tiger Wind Technique, Tiger Roar Forest Technique, and White Tiger Golden Light Slash were only Second Stage spells.

Third Stage spells are powerful, few in number, and difficult to learn.

Many Golden Core Cultivators could only grasp a Third Stage Spell after practicing Core Formation for a decade or two.

For demonic beasts to master a Third Stage Spell was even more difficult.

Seeing that Li Daoyi was knocked backward, Yin Cen quickly commanded the little Xuan Huang Tower to catch him and retreat to the inside of the Five Elements Rotation Array.
