Chapter 249: Chaotic Situation

"A human Nascent Soul cultivator dares to hunt down our Soul Transformation cultivators using only talismans and formations?"

"And in the end, caused one of our peak Soul Transformation cultivators to violate the pact between our two races and perish?"

In the Azure Demon Realm, a powerful cultivator at the Tribulation Crossing realm, responsible for the lower realm battlefield, erupted in fury upon receiving the intelligence report sent back from the lower realms.

"The humans have insulted our race too much. Talismans? Formations? Hah, our Azure Demon Race is not short of those either."

A cold, sinister expression flashed in his eyes, and this powerful cultivator immediately issued an order:

"Select a group of peak Nascent Soul geniuses from the clan, bestow upon them sixth-grade talismans and formation discs, and send them to the lower realms to hunt down humans and annihilate human cities."

"Yes, Your Excellency!"

At the command of this Tribulation Crossing powerhouse, the Azure Demon Race's agency handling the lower realm battlefield reacted instantly.

In less than three days.

They immediately launched a devastating siege against human cultivators and human-built cities in the Lower Nine Realms.

Facing such madness from the Azure Demon Race.

These peak Nascent Soul Azure Demon cultivators, after entering the fallen Lower Nine Realms of the Di Xuan Realm.

Fortunately, as the combat intensity rose, the frequency of battles between cultivators of the two races in the lower realms actually decreased.

With the influx of massive numbers of sixth-grade talismans and sixth-grade formation discs.

In an instant, the already complex situation in the realms below became utterly chaotic.

Recently, there have been frequent instances of early and mid-stage Soul Transformation cultivators from both races falling to the talismans of peak Nascent Soul cultivators.

Many cities could not withstand the relentless barrage of sixth-grade talismans and fell one after another.

Due to carelessness, some were ambushed by these peak Nascent Soul Azure Demon cultivators using supreme-grade sixth-grade talismans and perished instantly.

Send them to the lower realms to launch a fierce counterattack against the Azure Demon Race.

Even several early-stage human Soul Transformation cultivators suffered unexpected defeats.

Nearly a million peak Nascent Soul Azure Demon cultivators descended to the lower realms, carrying vast quantities of talismans and formation discs.

In the following days, human cultivators entering the lower realms for training suffered heavy losses.

The Human Alliance of the Di Xuan Realm reacted swiftly, selecting a group of peak Nascent Soul human geniuses and bestowing upon them vast quantities of talismans and formation discs.

The combat intensity between cultivators of both races in the lower realms increased further, with various sixth-grade talismans and formation discs being activated almost constantly.

Most cultivators within the cities had no time to react before being slaughtered to the last man by these Azure Demon cultivators.

Facing this sudden situation, except for a few cultivators who managed to escape in time via teleportation arrays.

Loose cultivators or those from small factions, who were early or mid-stage Soul Transformation cultivators, now treated hostile peak Nascent Soul cultivators with extreme caution, retreating at the mere sight of them.

In the lower realms, ordinary cultivators of both races lived in constant fear and became extremely vigilant.

Roaring sounds echoed across all realms, and the entire world seemed to tremble slightly.

The numerous cities built by human cultivators in the Nine Realms also suffered attacks from many Azure Demon cultivators.

Those early-stage Soul Transformation cultivators who were loose cultivators or from ordinary factions.

Have become like birds startled by the sound of a bowstring, no longer daring to underestimate peak Nascent Soul cultivators on the battlefield.

The current situation leaves no room for these ordinary cultivators to lower their guard.

In the lower realms now.

The most intense battlefields are mostly formed by peak Nascent Soul cultivators who descended with sixth-grade talismans and sixth-grade formation discs, as well as late-stage and peak Soul Transformation cultivators.

As for the other cultivators of both races.

Some have simply withdrawn from the current lower realm battlefield, while others remain in the various cities of the lower realm battlefield to observe.

Only a few stubborn cultivators still linger outside the cities, seeking enemy cultivators to hunt down.

Outside the Mysterious Shop.

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

After more than a dozen consecutive thunderous explosions and waves of energy surging up layer by layer.

Ye Qingxuan's Mysterious Merchant avatar, once again using the city-defense formation and the sixth-grade talismans in his hand, repelled a wave of Azure Demon cultivators besieging the Mysterious Shop.

Seeing the Mysterious Shop successfully repel the Azure Demon attack, the cultivators within the city instantly breathed a sigh of relief.

"The Mysterious Shop is still reliable, repelling these damn Azure Demons again."

"Sigh, how did a proper battlefield between two races suddenly turn into a contest of firepower? How are we ordinary cultivators supposed to survive this?"

"I heard a brother used sixth-grade talismans and formations to hunt down a Soul Transformation Azure Demon, which triggered the chain of events that followed."

"Really? Damn it, if I find out who it was, I'll draw a circle and curse him."

"Enough, Zhao Lao Si. If someone else managed to hunt down a Soul Transformation Azure Demon, could you beat him?"

"I can't! That's why I'm just drawing a circle to curse him."

"Uh?..."

Hearing the murmurs of the cultivators in the city, Ye Qingxuan's avatar, who was hovering in mid-air and controlling the city-defense formation, looked toward the distance with a slight sense of guilt.

His gaze happened to fall upon the few Azure Demon cultivators who had failed to breach the city and retreated unscathed.

Facing these peak Nascent Soul Azure Demon cultivators carrying vast quantities of sixth-grade talismans and sixth-grade formation discs, Ye Qingxuan was also helpless.

With the advantages of talismans and formations neutralized.

He could only rely on the Mysterious Shop's formations and the talismans in his hand to passively defend against the Azure Demon attacks.

But hoping to trap these Azure Demons with such astonishing trump cards was nothing short of a fool's dream.

The situation developing to this point was also beyond Ye Qingxuan's expectations.

He never expected the Azure Demon Race's counterattack to be so fierce.

This situation is unfavorable for the development of his Mysterious Shop.

In recent days, the number of Azure Demon corpses acquired by the Mysterious Shop has been gradually decreasing.

Now, the vast majority of cultivators in the city have stopped venturing out to hunt down Qing Clan cultivators.

Clearly, most cultivators remain quite rational.

It has now been a month since Ye Qingxuan hunted down that mid-stage Soul Transformation Qing Clan cultivator.

During this month,

Ye Qingxuan's avatar, the Explorer, and Xi Xuan did not return to the Mysterious Market; instead, they continued to fight the Qing Clan cultivators across various regions of the Xuanmu Realm.

As for Nan Xuan, the avatar severely injured by a peak Soul Transformation Qing Clan cultivator,

under the control of Ye Qingxuan's main consciousness, after fleeing the battlefield, he first hid in a secluded place to enter seclusion for a period, recovering his injuries.

Now that his injuries have healed, he is flying toward the Mysterious Market.

The core region of the Di Xuan Realm is too far from the Mysterious Market; using the teleportation array disk cannot directly transport one into the Mysterious Market.

Therefore, Ye Qingxuan can only fly toward the Mysterious Market first.

Only after approaching the Mysterious Market to a certain distance can he use the teleportation array disk to teleport back to the Mysterious Market.

According to the current distance and speed of Ye Qingxuan's Nan Xuan avatar, it is estimated that three more days are needed to return to the Mysterious Market.

Somewhere in the Xuanmu Realm,

Ye Qingxuan, who was flying at extreme speed, suddenly stopped.

Sensing the faint vibration of the nascent form of the minor divine technique "Deceiving Heaven" within his body, Ye Qingxuan frowned.

"Is a great expert calculating my whereabouts?"

Feeling the vibration of the nascent form of the minor divine technique "Deceiving Heaven" within his body grow increasingly intense, to avoid involving the Mysterious Market or even his original body,

Ye Qingxuan took out the storage ring he carried, and threw it deep into the earth.

Then, with a thought, he decisively caused this avatar of his to collapse.

Watching his avatar dissolve into a stream of light, Ye Qingxuan's main consciousness murmured before departing:

"I never expected that, after all this twisting and turning, this avatar would still be unable to escape the fate of falling."

Having spoken, Ye Qingxuan's main consciousness had already left this place and returned to the Qingxuan Cave Heaven.

The Qingxuan Cave Heaven, merged with the Eternal Turtle, has acquired the Eternal Turtle's characteristic of being impervious to all techniques, capable of blocking all methods of investigation and calculation.
