Chapter 632 - 505: The Return of the Forces
In a short period of time.A sudden upheaval struck the Beast Roar Mountain Range, creating a massive impact that quickly spread to the surrounding Cultivation Realm.
The offensive of the Blood World Realm’s demonic forces grew increasingly fierce and swift.
The first to bear the brunt was Weiyuan City, established in the Beast Roar Mountain Range by the Human and Demon Races.
Inside Weiyuan City.
The Cold Crow Ascendant, clad in a cyan robe, was meditating and cultivating within his Cave Mansion.
At that moment.
The Cold Crow Ascendant’s eyes suddenly opened, a glimmer of brilliance flashing through them! His Nascent Soul Divine Thought abruptly sensed a terrifying aura rushing towards Weiyuan City at an incredible speed.
Rumble rumble rumble!
Before he could even step out, the earth began to tremble, followed by the entire Weiyuan City shaking violently.
For a moment, the city’s emergency alarm bells rang out, the sounds of cultivators mobilizing were uninterrupted, and the Tier Four Defense Array was activated, enveloping the entire city in a blue light curtain beneath.
The Cold Crow Ascendant’s face showed a somber expression, his figure instantly vanishing from within the Cave Mansion as he shot outward.
When he saw the scene outside, he nearly froze in shock.
He saw a thousand-foot-tall Power Puppet Demon Form, taking terrifying strides, heading towards Weiyuan City.
With each step, the earth shook incessantly, behind the Demon Puppet followed a densely packed magic army from the Blood Realm, countless high-tier demon ships, their numbers so vast they stretched beyond sight.
That thousand-foot-tall blue-faced fang demon form, upon approaching, its right hand transformed into a fist.
Crack, crack, crack!
The sound of mechanical collision rang out, as it raised a massive demon puppet fist, spanning thousands of feet, and smashed down towards the city’s array light curtain!
Boom! Crack!
In the eyes of the stunned cultivators within the city, the Tier Four High-Grade Array didn’t withstand even a single strike before shattering in response.
The entire city trembled several times under the destructive power of that fist, countless buildings collapsing in succession.
Immediately, the anguished cries of countless cultivators within the city rang out.
"True Monarch Cold Crow, what shall we do? The... demonic forces have come knocking on our door..."
"You needn’t say more, I see it with my own eyes, abandon the city! Flee for your lives!" Cold Crow Ascendant knew from the moment he saw that Demon Puppet, which shattered the Immortal City Array with a single punch, that it was the top-tier war killing machine of the demonic forces.
Though he was at the Nascent Soul Stage, he was utterly incapable of contending against it; to rashly face the enemy would be to unnecessarily throw his life away.
"Spread the word, everyone evacuate! Life or death depend on your fate!"
Cold Crow Ascendant spoke, without turning back, demonstrating leadership by quickly fleeing.
If delayed by a moment, even he might have to remain here eternally.
...
...
West Nether Cultivation Realm.
Amid the endless desert, some Sandalwood Beasts were feasting on a Yellow Sand Demon Wave.
Suddenly.
An extremely dark shadow covered them.
The Sandalwood Beasts immediately stopped their bloody feast; as Tier Two Demon Beasts, they had a certain level of intelligence.
In the vast desert, it’s mostly bright sunlit; where did this shadow suddenly come from?
In their confusion.
They all looked skyward.
Only to see a massive demon puppet foot descending, squashing the Sandalwood Beasts into a pulp...
In the desert, a giant rocky mountain range stretched, several towering peaks stood out, unlike the outside, this place had a Tier Four Spirit Vein environment.
Within the mountains were countless stone caves, orderly divided into various sizes of cultivation cave mansions.
Outside was a vast Cultivation City.
This was the location of the mountain gate of the Nascent Soul Sect ’Kuzhu Sect’ in the West Nether Cultivation Realm.
Master Tianji had clearly divined some extremely dire omen, and before the demonic army arrived, had already organized the sect cultivators to be on high alert.
"Everyone, stay alert for the old man! The demonic forces this time intend for a desperate fight!"
"Once they approach, fully activate the Sand Trap Array, completely bury these demonic forces in the desert!"
However, at the next moment.
Amidst the roaring winds, boundless yellow sand, a giant shadow emerged.
In his shocked vision, it gradually grew larger, eventually reaching a thousand feet.
Revealing the terrifying true face of the Power Puppet Demon Form.
Master Tianji’s scalp went numb, stunned silent!
"Retreat!!"
"Everyone, fall back for defense! Request support from other Cultivation Realms!"
...
Northern Cold Cultivation Realm, atop the white ice plains.
Amidst the flying snow in the celestial sky, a dark void rift suddenly appeared, growing larger, expanding to a thousand feet giant.
Rumble rumble rumble!
Thousands of enormous demon ships, like ravenous giant beasts, continuously poured into the snowy plain.
Black demonic qi surged out from the enormous void rift, beginning to pollute this territory.
The low-tier demon beasts residing on the ice plains began to panic and flee.
Several teams of patrol cultivators from nearby cultivation sects on the ice plains were the first to notice such commotion, their eyes showing fright as they prepared to escape back to report.
But as a gigantic Celestial Patrol Demon Ship slowly sailed from the void passageway, several dark demon cannons blasted out, the escaping cultivators from Northern Cold Cultivation Realm instantly exploded into blood mist, not leaving a trace...
On the prow of the Celestial Patrol Demon Ship, the Celestial Hatred Demon Monarch stood with a white mask, hands behind his back.
Standing beside him was the Lan Bing Saintess in a black gauze palace dress, her face as cold as ice.
"Isn’t Master Xuan Bing together with that old fellow Canghe? How dare they run wild in our Blood Realm?"
"Today, I will show them that in the face of absolute power, everything is in vain."
"Last time, Canghe managed to escape, but I wonder if Master Ice Profound will be so lucky."
After speaking, the Celestial Hatred Demon Monarch ordered his demonic army to advance towards the depths of the ice plains.
In the depths of the Northern Cold Cultivation Realm, atop a snowy mountain with towering ice peaks, Master Ice Profound, dressed in a fur coat, respectfully reported at the entrance of an ice cave:
"Reporting to the Ancestor, the demonic forces from the Blood Realm have returned in force, launching a large-scale invasion, already initiating the second round of Descent Realm."
After a long while...
A calm and steady voice emerged from within: "Join forces where necessary, and let the Nascent Soul Sects contribute as well."
"Should a Divinity Transformation Demon Venerable appear... I will personally intervene."
Master Ice Profound quickly bowed and agreed, then swiftly went out to respond to the demonic invasion.
But when he reached the outside, under the control of the Celestial Hatred Demon Monarch, the Power Puppet Demon Form advanced relentlessly, and the sects of the Northern Cold Cultivation Realm were no match, defeated in a single blow.
...
Southern Wilderness Cultivation Realm, Wangyue Island.
Several months later.
Qin Ming sat in the grand hall of the Cyan Wood Pavilion, looking at the jade scrolls of intelligence reports that had piled up on the table like a small mountain.
His brow furrowed into a ’川’ character.
"It seems the second round of the Descent Realm has indeed begun, and at this rate, it might last for a hundred years again, or several hundred years given the severe situation..."
"I wonder if this time a Divinity Transformation Demon Venerable will come through the Void Passage..."
"The West Nether Cultivation Realm has suffered heavy losses, Weiyuan City has been breached, the Three Kingdoms of the Central Continent are also in dire straits, even the Northern Cold Cultivation Realm, with its Divinity Transformation Sect, has reported calamities..."
"It’s likely that the Celestial Hatred Demon Monarch and the Lan Bing Saintess have a terrifying Tier Five Array, completely unafraid of a Divinity Transformation intervention."
"After all, a Divinity Transformation taking action in the Human Realm has many restrictions and backlash consequences, whereas that Star Array has no such worries, as long as there are enough Top-Grade Demon Crystals, they could probably exhaust a Divinity Transformation to death..."
"This is really damn unreasonable!"
"Fortunately, I have warned the Celestial Hatred Old Demon, he wouldn’t dare to easily attack the Southern Wilderness."
"The next time I see this individual, I must mark him with a void mark. No matter where he flees, I’ll kill him with a mirror strike. This Old Demon is a great threat to the Human Realm."
Thinking of this, Qin Ming’s eyes gleamed as he had made up his mind.
Outside the grand hall, Mo Lingwei came to report.
"Report to Lord Island Master, the Southern Wilderness Four Nations are experiencing a surge in void anomalies, but thanks to your renowned might, those Nascent Soul Demon Monarchs have not appeared."
Qin Ming nodded. Back in the Beast Roar Mountain Range, relying on his body strength, he had shattered the Power Puppet Demon Form and scared the Celestial Hatred Demon Monarch into fleeing without a fight, and also escaped unharmed under the attack of a Tier Five Array. Such events have already spread throughout the Blood Realm.
Even the number one Demonic Nascent Soul couldn’t handle him, the other Nascent Soul Demon Monarchs would merely be courting death.
In the great battle back then, many demonic cultivators witnessed it all, there isn’t a short-sighted Demon Monarch who dares to mess with the Southern Wilderness, they even take detours around it.
The Demon Alliance of the Blood Realm has already listed True Monarch Wangyue as the highest danger level target.
"Besides our Southern Wilderness Cultivation Realm, the other Great Domains are already in deep turmoil, the world in chaos..."
Mo Lingwei was also extremely thankful, if not for being taken in by Qin Ming, she might be fighting the demonic forces to the death somewhere.
"Additionally, Alliance Leader Wei plans to establish four large defensive lines around the Four Nations to resist the demonic forces. He wishes to seek your opinion, Lord Island Master."
Qin Ming yawned long and dismissed with a wave: "Hmm, the plan seems fine. Go ahead and execute it."
"Yes! We will obey Lord Island Master’s command!" Mo Lingwei replied then respectfully retreated.
Qin Ming watched her retreating figure; in truth, whether the Southern Wilderness remained peaceful or not, it was up to him, this mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, to decide.
If the demonic forces truly attacked the Southern Wilderness in full force, a few defensive lines wouldn’t be able to hold.
They could only deter those below Nascent Soul, but still, it’s better than nothing.
Qin Ming pondered for a moment, then drafted a jade scroll, handing it to the Heaven-Devouring Rat to deliver to Wei Wuya.
"As the saying goes, heavy rewards motivate brave men."
"It’s time to mobilize."
The content of Qin Ming’s jade scroll was about the Four Nations Alliance establishing a battle achievements reward system, setting up a merit board where killing demonic forces could be exchanged for various cultivation resources.
In these special times, even Foundation Establishment Pills, Golden Core Formation Pills, and strategic resources like Nascent Soul Spiritual Objects could be traded...
Even those cultivators in charge of logistics could exchange for merit, provided their battle achievements were sufficient.
This way...
For those cultivators long trapped in their realms, this demonic disaster is both a calamity and an opportunity.
It could also cultivate and birth a batch of pillars of strength.
After all, Qin Ming couldn’t always guard the Southern Wilderness.
New blood needed to emerge.
What if one day he came out of a retreat to find the Southern Wilderness completely overtaken by the demonic forces, now that would be truly embarrassing.
With his current mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivation, farming, retreating, whether for a few years or several decades is uncertain.
In the treasure house of the Four Nations Alliance, Qin Ming had already placed some cultivation resources, all scavenged from the storage pouches of some unlucky Demon Monarch, anyway, he had no use for them now.
Half a month later.
As soon as the ’Demon Slaying List’ of the Southern Wilderness was published, it sparked fervent discussions among numerous cultivators.
Countless cultivators saw the opportunity to change their destiny.
Major sect forces, family commerce guilds, and even loose cultivators banded together to form demon-hunting parties, setting out to kill demonic forces and earn battle merits.
Meanwhile, Qin Ming remained steady as Mount Tai, taking on the challenging task of guarding Wangyue Island.
