Chapter 587: The battlefield of the Desolate Demon Realm

Desolate Demon Realm, one of the affiliated Demon Region worlds of the Green Demon race.

The human cultivators covering the sky and the sun were exuding spiritual power, constantly sweeping across the vast territory of the Desolate Demon Realm like white light.

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

Wherever they passed, the Green Demon race living in this Demon Region world were all slaughtered.

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

Except for occasionally encountering some Deity Transformation Realm Green Demon race members, where some intense battles would break out in the battlefield from time to time.

At other times, the human Demon Hunting Coalition Army basically swept through this Demon Region 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 Region world.

Seeing that the progress of the strategy was 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, help!"

"Damn, I've hidden here, and you humans are still chasing after me? Today I will fight with you!"

Hearing the words of the Green Demon race, 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 a bit 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 some minor injuries was a trivial matter.

Just when the three Nascent Soul Realm human powerhouse leaders were preparing to take action personally to take down this group of Green Demon race members, one of the late-stage Nascent Soul Realm elders wearing hemp clothes 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 squads are coming."

Hearing this, the two Nascent Soul Realm human cultivators 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 Qingxuan was announced throughout the entire Di Xuan Realm.

Although due to the difficulty of refining, the output was a bit low, the Nuclear Explosion Pill series could be considered to have been popularized after developing for so many years in the Di Xuan Realm.

Among the human cultivators of the Demon Hunting Coalition Army this time, all of them carried Nuclear Explosion Pills on their bodies more or less for emergencies.

"This is? No..."

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

In the eyes of this group of Green Demon race members, who turned from doubt to horror, three Fifth Order Nuclear Explosion Pills erupted with dazzling energy light in front of them.

"Oh

This group of surrounded Green Demon tribe members had just been dealt with by three fifth-order nuclear explosion pills when another human elder in the late Nascent Soul stage arrived at the scene with five human cultivators.

Looking at the Green Demon tribe members who had already been slain, his eyes revealed a look of profound regret.

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

And the "Brother Li" mentioned by Sun Laoer was none other than the captain of that initial human squad, Li Dequan.

Upon seeing Sun Laoer, Li Dequan, who was also in the late Nascent Soul stage and dressed in hempen clothes, wore a look of arrogance on his face and snorted coldly:

"Hmph, Sun Laoer, don't think this old man doesn't know what you're plotting."

"The Green Demon tribe members here have already been slain by the squad led by this old man; you may leave now."

Among the eighteen Demon-Hunting Allied Forces of the Di Xuan Realm, the personnel are mixed, ranging from Golden Core and even Purple Mansion stage cultivators at the bottom, to peak Deity Transformation stage powerhouses at the top.

But only the Deity Transformation stage powerhouses are the main force of the Demon-Hunting Allied Forces; they need to be under the unified dispatch of the Demon-Hunting Allied Forces to fight on the front lines of the battlefield, responsible for continuously opening up new areas within the Demon Domain worlds.

Other human cultivators below the Deity Transformation stage can form various squads on their own or choose to act alone, and they can move about freely within the Demon Domain worlds to track and hunt down Green Demon tribe members missed on the battlefield.

And Sun Laoer and that Li-surnamed elder were the captains of two spontaneously formed squads.

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

There are explicit regulations among the eighteen Demon-Hunting Allied Forces that strictly prohibit human cultivators from attacking their own kind within the eighteen Demon Domain 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 Forces are not afraid of anyone deceiving their superiors and subordinates.

After all, since the Demon-Hunting Orders issued by the Allied Forces can tally the merits gained by human cultivators when slaying Green Demon tribe members, it is an easy matter to attach other functions to them.

Therefore, for more than a year, there have been basically very few human cultivators among the eighteen Demon-Hunting Allied Forces 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 Li Dequan's squad hurriedly used fifth-order nuclear explosion pills to quickly slay these Green Demon tribe members after sensing the approach of the squad led by Sun Laoer.

At this time, upon hearing Li Dequan's words, Sun Laoer looked toward the center of the battlefield, unwilling to give up.

"Hmph! Let's go!"

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

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

Arriving at a valley not far away filled with demonic energy, Li Dequan took a fifth-order Spirit-Purifying 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-Purifying Tree, which then began to continuously convert it into pure first to fifth-order spiritual energy.

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

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

"Yes, Captain!"

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

After everyone sat cross-legged around the fifth-order Spirit-Purifying Tree.

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

"This time we slew one mid-stage Nascent Soul and sixteen Golden Core stage Green Demon tribe 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 tribe group and can directly receive 100 merit points; the other three little friends can receive 30 merit points each."

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

"This old man will take 50% of the remaining 1,310 merit points, and the two fellow Daoists will take 25% each; is that acceptable?"

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

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

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

After dividing the merits, Li Dequan looked at his contribution points, which had only accumulated to just over two thousand, and the joy in his heart instantly vanished. He sighed with some melancholy in his heart: "Alas, the Green Demon tribe members in the Desolate Demon Realm are becoming harder and harder to find now; I don't know when I will 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 chores, was to have them help him track and investigate the traces of the Green Demon tribe.

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

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

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

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

"The Green Demon tribe members in this Desolate Demon Realm are 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 tribe members in the Desolate Demon Realm were 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."

"Alas, who doesn't look like a wolf seeing meat when they find the Green Demon tribe now? There are many wolves and little meat, so naturally, there will be people scrambling for it!"

"Yes, and it is estimated that the Green Demon tribe members below the Golden Core stage in this war zone of ours have all died out; it will be hard to pick up cheap kills like before!"

"If it really doesn't work, why don't we leave here and go to those war zones near the front line?"

"This... would that be too dangerous? If we happen to run into a Deity Transformation stage Green Demon tribe member, we'll be done for."

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

"That's true, the Deity Transformation stage Green Demon tribe members in the Desolate Demon Realm are running away too fast when they encounter the war lines pushed by our Allied Forces; where would they have the guts to run to the war zones in our rear?"

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

He is still short of more than nine hundred merit points; staying in this war zone is certainly safe, but it is too difficult to find enough Green Demon tribe members to slay to make up three thousand merit points.

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

According to the merit system of the eighteen Demon-Hunting Armies: slaying a Qi Refining stage Green Demon tribe member, regardless of the realm, only yields 1 merit point.

Slaying a Foundation Establishment stage Green Demon tribe member, regardless of the realm, only yields 3 merit points.

Slaying a Purple Mansion stage Green Demon tribe member, regardless of the realm, only yields 10 merit points.

Slaying a Golden Core stage Green Demon tribe member yields 30-120 merit points according to different minor realms.

Slaying a Nascent Soul stage Green Demon tribe member yields 300-1,200 merit points according to different minor realms.

Slaying a Deity Transformation stage Green Demon tribe member yields 3,000-10,000 merit points according to different minor realms.

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

Then, when the status of the Demon Domain world falls, they can obtain the qualification to scavenge for source crystals, rule crystals, and law crystals within the divided Demon Domain world.

Besides this, the merit points obtained by human cultivators within the eighteen Demon Domain worlds cannot be used to exchange for any resources within the eighteen Demon-Hunting Allied Forces.

After all, slaying Green Demon tribe members 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 Forces do not need to use any resources to lure or drive other human cultivators to jointly conquer these eighteen Demon Domain worlds.

But even if the merits obtained by slaying Green Demon tribe members cannot be exchanged for resources, there will still be a steady stream of cultivators from various provinces in the Di Xuan Realm rushing to join the eighteen Demon-Hunting Allied Forces.

To this day, in these war zones in the deep rear of the Desolate Demon Realm, the surviving Nascent Soul stage Green Demon tribe members are already few and far between; now, even if only Purple Mansion stage Green Demon tribe members appear, it will attract many human cultivators to scramble for them.

According to the current advancement speed of their Demon-Hunting Allied Forces, it is not far from completely occupying the Desolate Demon Realm.

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

But if he really encounters a Deity Transformation stage Green Demon tribe member in the front-line war zone, then his gaze flickered slightly, and for a moment Li Dequan was also a bit conflicted; on one side is the opportunity to gather three thousand merit points, and on the other is the possible life-and-death crisis, making him unable to make a final decision for a long time.

Just when Li Dequan was hesitating.

At the very front line of the war zone pushed by humans within the Desolate Demon Realm, a middle-aged heroic man wearing gorgeous battle armor and whose cultivation had reached the peak of the Deity Transformation stage frowned slightly as he looked at the surging demonic energy in front of the war line.

This person is Liu Yuanjun, a personal disciple of the Heavenly Star Sect, a Tribulation-level force in the Di Xuan Realm, and one of the many commanders of this human Demon-Hunting Allied Force invading the Desolate Demon Realm.

And the Heavenly Star Sect is one of the three major Tribulation-level forces that took the lead in forming this Allied Force.

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

"Bang!" "Boom!" "Rum-rum-rum!"

At this time, all kinds of deafening energy roars were continuously coming from various places in front of the war line.

In the surging demonic energy, various colorful glows emitted when spiritual power exploded were revealed from time to time, dispelling the demonic energy permeating the front.

Obviously, it was human powerhouses encountering Green Demon tribe powerhouses in these unfamiliar areas while pushing the war line.

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

It seems that the situation of the human war line within the Desolate Demon Realm is going smoothly, but as one of the commanders of this Demon-Hunting Allied Force, Liu Yuanjun was frowning slightly for some reason at this time.

With his gaze fixed straight ahead of the war line, looking at the demonic energy that was continuously surging due to the successive great battles, Liu Yuanjun could not help but ask:

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

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

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

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

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

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

"Not good, everyone, be on alert!"

"Quick, pass down the order, level one combat alert!"
