Chapter 245: Hunt

In the blink of an eye, another year passed.

During this year, Hong Miaomiao and Bai Qingyun came to the Qingxuan Blessed Land once more.

This time, however, the two did not disturb Ye Qingxuan; they simply spent a short while with their daughter before departing.

After so much time had passed, Bai Jiawei had completely grown accustomed to life on the mountain peak where the Qingxuan Blessed Land was located, cultivating diligently every day.

Once Bai Jiawei's cultivation got on the right track, Ye Qingxuan's attention toward her gradually diminished.

Inside the Qingxuan Blessed Land.

"Hmm?"

Ye Qingxuan, who had been cultivating, suddenly opened his eyes, a look of contemplation appearing in them.

Moments later, Ye Qingxuan slowly spoke in a low voice:

"Soul Transformation Mid-stage? It seems I can give it a try."

As soon as the words fell, Ye Qingxuan's main consciousness left his physical body.

Within the mountain range, besides this Green Demon Clan cultivator at the Soul Transformation Mid-stage.

Having made up his mind, Ye Qingxuan began secretly deploying a sixth-grade mid-tier slaughter formation around the periphery of the mountain range.

At the center of the mountain range lay a sixth-grade demonic vein.

In the outer regions of the mountain range, Ye Qingxuan had also discovered over a hundred Green Demon Clan cultivators at the Nascent Soul Peak.

However, if he took the initiative to attack a Soul Transformation cultivator, he could not be certain whether other Soul Transformation Green Demon Clan cultivators would become enraged and attack him.

A single Green Demon Clan cultivator at the Soul Transformation Mid-stage and over a hundred at the Nascent Soul Peak were naturally not something Ye Qingxuan would take seriously.

Within the demonic vein, the aura of a Green Demon Clan cultivator at the Soul Transformation Mid-stage flickered in and out of existence.

In a mountain range where demonic energy churned.

This avatar of his carried numerous corpses of Green Demon Clan cultivators hunted over the past few years in the Xuanmu Realm; if he perished here, the loss would be immense.

However, a single Green Demon Clan cultivator at the Soul Transformation Mid-stage, a sixth-grade source of the demonic vein, plus the scattered Nascent Soul Peak Green Demon Clan cultivators within the mountain range.

The problem was that this was the core area of the Xuanmu Realm, where powerful Green Demon Clan cultivators were everywhere; pulling one hair could move the whole body.

That Green Demon Clan cultivator at the Soul Transformation Mid-stage was the target Ye Qingxuan intended to hunt on this journey.

Ye Qingxuan fully activated the proto-form of the Dao text for the minor divine ability "Deceiving Heaven," letting his spiritual sense spread out silently to begin investigating the situation around the mountain range.

Array bases carried by various avatars were secretly buried by Ye Qingxuan around the mountain range.

With the numerous sixth-grade supreme-grade talismans carried by this avatar, hunting down this Green Demon Clan cultivator at the Soul Transformation Mid-stage was not particularly difficult.

At this moment, Ye Qingxuan's main consciousness had descended into his avatar, Nan Xuan.

After Ye Qingxuan's main consciousness departed, his physical body remained unaffected; he closed his eyes slightly once more and entered a deeper state of cultivation.

Ye Qingxuan's avatar, Nan Xuan, had already been investigating here for a long time.

Although the agreement between the two realms stipulated that Soul Transformation cultivators could not take the initiative to attack cultivators below the Soul Transformation realm.

These factors were enough to make Ye Qingxuan risk a try.

The core area of the Xuanmu Realm, a minor thousand-realm attached to the Di Xuan Realm.

At the same time, Ye Qingxuan also stored a large quantity of spirit stones within the array bases to serve as the energy source for the great formation.

The array bases crafted by Ye Qingxuan utilized materials nourished by spiritual energy, and their grade was not particularly high, so they could not ignore the erosion of demonic energy.

Once they absorbed demonic energy to act as an energy source to activate the formation, these array bases would be slowly eroded by the demonic energy.

In the Xuanmu Realm, where demonic energy was pervasive, Ye Qingxuan could only use a large quantity of spirit stones as an energy source to activate the great formation.

Looking at the vast number of spirit stones buried underground along with the array bases, Ye Qingxuan said with some reluctance:

"It seems next time I must gather a batch of heavenly treasures and earthly herbs nourished by demonic energy to serve as raw materials for crafting array discs."

The principles of formations are all the same; spiritual energy or demonic energy are merely forms of heavenly and earthly energy.

As long as the materials used to craft the great formation can withstand the erosion of alien energies.

Various types of heavenly and earthly energy can naturally serve as the energy source for the great formation, unleashing the formation's intended power.

After all the array bases were buried, Ye Qingxuan stood suspended in mid-air, towering above the mountain range.

With a thought in his heart and both hands forming hand seals, one hundred and eight light pillars instantly appeared around the mountain range below.

As soon as these one hundred and eight light pillars appeared, they instantly began to resonate, each emitting an energy net that started connecting with the other light pillars.

The energy net spreading rapidly in the high sky immediately alarmed all the Green Demon Clan cultivators within this mountain range.

The first to react was the Green Demon Clan cultivator at the Soul Transformation Mid-stage cultivating in the center of the mountain range.

Sensing the terrifying energy contained within the light net, that Green Demon Clan cultivator at the Soul Transformation Mid-stage exclaimed:

"Not good!"

Then, his entire body transformed into a beam of black light, fleeing toward the high sky of the mountain range in an attempt to escape the area covered by the formation before the light net could fully converge.

The other Nascent Soul Peak Green Demon Clan cultivators within the mountain range also sensed the anomaly and successively fled toward areas of the high sky not yet covered by the light net.

Seeing this scene.

In the high sky, Ye Qingxuan frowned.

The core area of the Xuanmu Realm was filled with demonic energy, the concentration of which was truly astonishing; furthermore, the area covered by the formation he deployed this time was truly enormous.

This caused the speed at which the formation's light net spread to slow down, giving these Green Demon Clan cultivators a chance to react before the light net could completely envelop the mountain range.

Watching the Green Demon Clan cultivators rapidly approaching the high sky, Ye Qingxuan sneered:

"Want to run? Heh!"

With a slight wave of his sleeve, three purple talismans appeared before Ye Qingxuan.

Spiritual power flowed through his body, and Ye Qingxuan pushed his palm toward the three talismans.

In an instant, a powerful sensation of suppression erupted from the three talismans and, under Ye Qingxuan's control, tilted downward toward the mountain range.

Sixth-grade supreme-grade suppression talismans, once activated, were sufficient to suppress an ordinary Soul Transformation Peak cultivator for a single instant.

Three sixth-grade supreme-grade talismans, used to suppress a mid-stage Soul Transformation realm Qing Clan demon and over a hundred peak Nascent Soul realm Qing Clan demons below.

They were more than enough merely to delay their escape speed.

"Roar, damn it!"

The mid-stage Soul Transformation realm Qing Clan demon expert, who was about to flee, felt a terrifying suppressing power envelop his entire body.

His body, which had transformed into black light and was fleeing at high speed, instantly halted, revealing his true form, and he let out a reluctant roar in the high sky.

He was merely an ordinary Soul Transformation realm cultivator within the Qing Clan and possessed no trump cards far beyond his own realm.

"No!"

Facing this situation, this mid-stage Soul Transformation realm Qing Clan demon was helpless, able only to watch helplessly as the array's light net closed before his eyes.

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"

The other peak Nascent Soul realm Qing Clan demons suffered even more under this suppressing power.

One by one, they fell from the high sky accompanied by the suppressing force, smashing violently into various parts of the mountain range, emitting deafening roars.

Many peak Nascent Soul realm Qing Clan demon experts, having flown too high, saw their bodies crack continuously as they plummeted onto the hard mountain range under the crushing weight of this terrifying suppressing power.

After the array's light net closed, a flash of coldness passed through Ye Qingxuan's eyes:

"Sixth-grade slaughter array, activate!"

No sooner had the words left his lips than dense energy weapons began to condense in the sky above the mountain range.

These weapons were wreathed in an aura of slaughter, with cold light flashing forth.

"Go!"

Under Ye Qingxuan's control, these energy weapons began to sweep down toward the mountain range below.
