Chapter 587: The Battlefield of the Desolate Demon Realm

Desolate Demon Realm, one of the affiliated Demon Domain worlds of the Green Demon Race.

Human cultivators covering the sky and sun were emitting spiritual power, constantly sweeping across the vast territory of this Demon Domain world like white light.

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

Wherever they passed, the Green Demon Race living in this Demon Domain world were all slaughtered.

In a situation of occupying the first opportunity and gathering a large amount of Deity Transformation combat power of the Di Li Xuan Realm, the power of this Demon Domain world itself could not resist the invasion of the human coalition army at all.

Except for when occasionally encountering Green Demon Race members of the Deity Transformation Realm, where fierce battles would break out from time to time in the battlefield.

At other times, the human Demon-Hunting Coalition Army basically swept through this Demon Domain world all the way.

In just over a year, this human Demon-Hunting Coalition Army had already occupied two-thirds of the territory of this Demon Domain world.

Seeing the progress of the conquest advancing faster and faster, some human cultivators whose Demon-Hunting merits had not yet been gathered began to get anxious.

"Bang!" "Boom!" "Boom-boom-boom!"

"No, leader, save me!"

"Damn, I've hidden all the way here, and you humans are still chasing after me? Today I will fight you to the death."

Hearing the Green Demon Race's words, looking at the one Nascent Soul Realm and more than a dozen Golden Core Realm Green Demon Race members in the encirclement, the seven human cultivators around were somewhat indifferent.

They had three Nascent Soul Realm powerhouses on their side, while the surrounded Green Demon Race only had one Nascent Soul Realm powerhouse, so they were not afraid of the other side jumping over the wall in desperation.

For these human cultivators, as long as they could kill these Green Demon Race members and obtain Demon-Hunting merits, even suffering slight injuries was a trivial matter.

Just when the three Nascent Soul Realm human powerhouses who were the leaders were preparing to make a move personally to take down this group of Green Demon Race members, an old man in hemp clothes, who was at the late stage of the Nascent Soul Realm, changed his face and said urgently: "Quick, directly use the fifth-order Nuclear Explosion Pill to kill this group of Green Demon Race members; other teams are coming."

Hearing this, the two Nascent Soul Realm human powerhouses beside him also changed their faces, and each hurriedly took out a fifth-order Nuclear Explosion Pill and threw it at the surrounded Green Demon Race.

Ever since the Nuclear Explosion Pill series researched by Ye Ye Qingxuan was announced throughout the entire Di Li Xuan Realm.

Although due to the difficulty of refining and the low output, the Nuclear Explosion Pill series had been popularized in the Di Li Xuan Realm after developing for so many years.

Among the human cultivators of the Demon-Hunting Coalition Army this time, all of them carried Nuclear Explosion Pills on them to prepare for emergencies.

"This is? No..."

"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom-boom-boom!"

In the eyes of this group of Green Demon Race members, which turned from doubt to horror, three fifth-order Nuclear Explosion Pills suddenly erupted with dazzling energy light in front of them.

"Alas, Brother Li, you are really too fast. I wanted to help you all!"

Just after this group of surrounded Green Demon Race members were solved by the three fifth-order Nuclear Explosion Pills, another old human man at the late stage of the Nascent Soul Realm brought five human cultivators to this place.

Looking at the Green Demon Race members who had already been killed, he revealed a look of full regret in his eyes.

This person was named Sun Laoer, and he was the captain of a human team.

And the Brother Li in Sun Laoer's mouth was the captain of the human team that started first—Li Li Dequan.

Seeing Sun Laoer, Li Li Dequan, who

"Hmph, Old Man Sun, don't think I don't know what you're plotting."

"The Green Demon race here has already been wiped out by the squad I lead; you lot can leave now."

The eighteen Demon-Hunting Allied Armies of the Di Li Xuan Realm are composed of a motley mix of personnel, ranging from Qi Refining and even Purple Mansion stage cultivators at the bottom, to peak Nascent Soul stage powerhouses at the top.

However, only Nascent Soul stage powerhouses are the main force within the Demon-Hunting Allied Armies; they must be under the unified command of the Demon-Hunting Army to fight on the front lines of the battlefield, responsible for continuously opening up new areas within the Demon Realm worlds.

Other human cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage can form various squads on their own or choose to act alone, allowing them to move freely within the Demon Realm worlds to track and hunt down Green Demon race members missed on the battlefield.

And Sun Er and that elderly man surnamed Li are the captains of two spontaneously formed squads.

In order to prevent the human cultivators within the Demon-Hunting Allied Armies from killing each other.

There are explicit regulations among the eighteen Demon-Hunting Allied Armies that strictly prohibit human cultivators from attacking their own kind within the eighteen Demon Realm worlds; violators are to be executed on the spot.

With the bound Demon-Hunting Orders issued, the high-level officials of the Demon-Hunting Allied Armies are not afraid of anyone deceiving their superiors and subordinates.

After all, since the Demon-Hunting Orders issued by the Allied Armies can tally the merits gained by human cultivators when killing the Green Demon race, adding a few other functions is an easy task.

Therefore, for more than a year, there have been basically very few human cultivators among the eighteen Demon-Hunting Allied Armies who have dared to attack their own kind.

But not being able to attack their own kind does not mean they cannot steal kills.

This is also the main reason why the squad Li Li Dequan belongs to hurriedly used Fifth-Order Nuclear Explosion Pills to quickly kill these Green Demon race members after sensing the approach of the squad led by Old Man Sun.

At this moment, hearing Li Li Dequan's words, Old Man Sun looked toward the center of the battlefield, unwilling to give up.

"Hmph! Let's go!"

Seeing that there were indeed no surviving Green Demon race members left, he gloomily led his squad away from here.

After Old Man Sun left, Li Li Dequan did not immediately lead his people away.

Arriving at a valley not far away that was filled with demonic energy, Li Li Dequan took a Fifth-Order Spirit-Cleansing Tree from his storage ring and planted it in the center of the valley.

Before long, the demonic energy in the valley was rapidly devoured by this Fifth-Order Spirit-Cleansing Tree, which then began to continuously convert it into pure First to Fifth-Order spiritual energy.

Seeing this scene, Li Li Dequan nodded with satisfaction and chuckled softly:

"Let's rest here for now and recover our spiritual power before doing anything else."

"Yes, Captain!"

Hearing Li Li Dequan's words, the other few human cultivators around him followed Li Li Dequan and flew into the valley.

After everyone sat cross-legged around the Fifth-Order Spirit-Cleansing Tree.

Li Li Dequan tallied the gains from this time in his heart, then looked at the four Golden Core stage powerhouses in his squad and said with a smile:

"This time we killed one mid-stage Nascent Soul and sixteen Golden Core stage Green Demon race members, gaining a total of 1,500 merit points."

"According to the previous rules, Little Liu tracked down the hiding place of this Green Demon race group and can directly receive 100 merit points; the other three little friends can receive 30 merit points each."

After speaking, he looked at the other two early-stage Nascent Soul powerhouses beside him and continued:

"As for the remaining 1,310 merit points, I will take 50%, and the two fellow Daoists will take 25% each. Does this seem fair?"

This was something they had already agreed upon when the squad was formed, so upon hearing Li Li Dequan's division, the few nodded one after another to express their agreement. Seeing that no one had any objections, Li Li Dequan took out his Demon-Hunting Order and began to divide the corresponding merit points.

Merit points within the eighteen Demon-Hunting Allied Armies can be traded and transferred internally within each Demon-Hunting Allied Army.

In any case, since human cultivators cannot attack each other within the eighteen Demon Realm worlds, the high-level officials of the eighteen Demon-Hunting Allied Armies are not afraid of forced buying and selling.

After dividing the merit points, Li Li Dequan looked at his contribution points, which had only just reached a little over two thousand, and the joy in his heart vanished instantly. He sighed with some melancholy in his heart: "Sigh, the Green Demon race in the Desolate Demon Realm is becoming harder and harder to find now. I don't know when I'll be able to gather three thousand merit points!"

The reason he recruited four Golden Core stage cultivators to join his squad, besides wanting them to help with odd jobs, was to have them help him track and investigate the traces of the Green Demon race.

After all, there is strength in numbers, and the probability of finding the Green Demon race will naturally increase.

Although the Desolate Demon Realm is only a Small Thousand World-level Demon Realm world, it is also very vast and wide for cultivators like them at the Nascent Soul and Golden Core stages.

Being a lone wolf and relying solely on oneself to find missed Green Demon race members is a significant challenge; most of the time, it is entirely a matter of luck.

Just as Li Li Dequan was sighing with melancholy to himself, the other Golden Core stage squad members also began to complain and chat among themselves on the side:

"The Green Demon race in this Desolate Demon Realm is getting harder and harder to find now. It seems we have no hope of obtaining three thousand merit points."

"Who's to say otherwise? More than a year has passed, and the Green Demon race in the Desolate Demon Realm was already hard to find. If you don't finish the battle quickly after finding them, it's easy to attract others to steal the kills. It's too difficult."

"Sigh, who doesn't look at the Green Demon race like a wolf looking at meat once they find them? There are many wolves and little meat, so naturally, there will be people scrambling for them!"

"That's right, and the Green Demon race below the Golden Core stage in our sector of the battlefield is probably already extinct. It'll be hard to pick up easy gains like before!"

"If it really doesn't work out, why don't we leave here and go to those battle sectors closer to the front line?"

"This... wouldn't that be too dangerous? If we happen to run into a Green Demon race member at the Soul Transformation stage, we'll be done for."

"Fear nothing, I don't believe there are any Green Demon race members at the Soul Transformation stage who can break through the battle lines of those Soul Transformation stage big shots and escape to the rear."

"That's true. Now, the Soul Transformation stage Green Demon race members in the Desolate Demon Realm run away as soon as they encounter our Allied Army's advancing battle lines. Where would they have the guts to run to our rear battle sectors?"

Opposite them, Li Li Dequan heard the discussion of his squad members, and after pondering for a moment, a look of temptation also appeared in his heart.

He is still short of more than nine hundred merit points. Staying in this battle sector is certainly safe, but it is too difficult to find enough Green Demon race members to kill to gather three thousand merit points.

If he cannot gather three thousand merit points, the merit points he has accumulated so far will be useless.

According to the merit system of the eighteen Demon-Hunting Armies: killing a Green Demon race member at the Qi Refining stage, regardless of the sub-realm, only grants 1 merit point.

Killing a Green Demon race member at the Foundation Establishment stage, regardless of the sub-realm, only grants 3 merit points.

Killing a Green Demon race member at the Purple Mansion stage, regardless of the sub-realm, only grants 10 merit points.

Killing a Green Demon race member at the Golden Core stage grants 30-120 merit points depending on the sub-realm.

Killing a Green Demon race member at the Nascent Soul stage grants 300-1,200 merit points depending on the sub-realm.

Killing a Green Demon race member at the Soul Transformation stage grants 3,000-10,000 merit points depending on the sub-realm.

Every human cultivator who joins the Demon-Hunting Allied Armies only needs to obtain 3,000 merit points before the corresponding Demon Realm world is completely conquered.

Then, when the status of that Demon Realm world falls, they can obtain the qualification to scavenge for Source Crystals, Rule Crystals, and Law Crystals within the divided Demon Realm world.

Besides this, the merit points obtained by human cultivators within the eighteen Demon Realm worlds cannot be exchanged for any resources within the eighteen Demon-Hunting Allied Armies.

After all, killing the Green Demon race is inherently a process of hunting for resources to cultivate for human cultivators, which is beneficial to the human cultivators themselves.

Therefore, the eighteen Demon-Hunting Allied Armies do not need to use any resources to lure or drive other human cultivators to jointly conquer these eighteen Demon Realm worlds.

But even if the merit points obtained from killing the Green Demon race cannot be exchanged for resources, there will still be a steady stream of cultivators from various provinces and regions in the Di Li Xuan Realm rushing to join the eighteen Demon-Hunting Allied Armies.

To this day, in these battle sectors in the far rear of the Desolate Demon Realm, the surviving Green Demon race members at the Nascent Soul stage are already very few. Now, even if only a Green Demon race member at the Purple Mansion stage appears, it will attract many human cultivators to scramble for it.

According to the current advancing speed of their Demon-Hunting Allied Army, they are not far from completely occupying the Desolate Demon Realm.

If he continues to stay in the rear battle sectors, he is afraid that he will not be able to gather three thousand merit points in the end.

But what if he really encounters a Green Demon race member at the Soul Transformation stage in the front-line battle sectors? His gaze flickered slightly. For a time, Li Li Dequan was also somewhat conflicted. On one side was the opportunity to gather three thousand merit points, and on the other was the potential life-and-death crisis, leaving him unable to make a final decision for a long time.

Just as Li Li Dequan was hesitating.

At the very front line of the battle sector where humans were advancing within the Desolate Demon Realm, a heroic-looking middle-aged man wearing gorgeous battle armor, whose cultivation had reached the peak of the Soul Transformation stage, frowned slightly as he looked at the surging demonic energy in front of the battle line.

This person is Liu Liu Yuanjun, a direct disciple of the Heavenly Star Sect, a Tribulation-level faction of the Di Li Xuan Realm, and one of the many commanders of this human Demon-Hunting Allied Army invading the Desolate Demon Realm.

And the Heavenly Star Sect is one of the three major Tribulation-level factions that spearheaded the formation of this Allied Army.

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

"Bang!" "Boom!" "Boom-rumble!"

At this moment, in various places in front of the battle line, all kinds of deafening energy rumbling sounds were constantly coming.

Amidst the surging demonic energy, various colorful glows emitted when spiritual power erupted were revealed from time to time, dispersing the demonic energy permeating the front.

Clearly, it was human powerhouses encountering Green Demon race powerhouses in these unfamiliar areas while advancing the battle line.

However, by bullying the few with the many and suppressing the weak with the strong, even if localized battles erupted in front of the battle line, they would end at a very fast speed.

The situation of the human battle line within the Desolate Demon Realm seemed to be going smoothly, but Liu Liu Yuanjun, one of the commanders of this Demon-Hunting Allied Army, was frowning slightly for some unknown reason at this moment.

Staring straight at the front of the battle line, watching the demonic energy that was constantly surging due to the successive great battles, Liu Liu Yuanjun could not help but ask:

"Bai Yu, according to the current speed, how much longer will it take for us to completely occupy the Desolate Demon Realm?"

As soon as the words fell, a man wearing white clothes and looking like a youth came to a place not far behind him and said respectfully:

"Senior Brother, according to the current advancing speed, we will probably need another half a year to completely occupy the Desolate Demon Realm."

Hearing Bai Yu's answer, Liu Liu Yuanjun frowned tightly and muttered: "Still need another half a year?"

Although this speed was already very fast, for some reason, he suddenly felt a sense of unease in the dark.

Opening his mouth slightly, just as Liu Liu Yuanjun was about to order something, his pupils looking into the depths of the battle line suddenly shrank, his expression changed drastically, and he shouted urgently:

"Not good, everyone, be on alert!"

"Quick, pass the order down, Level 1 combat alert!"
