Chapter 596: Cross-Realm Pulling Array Activated

Hearing the orders issued by the many coalition commanders, numerous elites who had already joined the coalition for a long time immediately grew busy.

However, while these people were busy, some Soul Transformation realm experts who had just joined the coalition were scattered across the Cangmo Realm, complaining with either grim expressions or sighs of despair:

"Damn it, if only I had been a bit closer, I could have slain a Nascent Soul early-stage Qingmo demon and earned the right to scavenge spirit stones. I never expected a peak Soul Transformation expert to do something like stealing kills."

"Old Bai, forget it! We can't afford to offend peak Soul Transformation experts."

"Sigh, we have no choice but to accept it. Let's see if there are any chances later!"

"Alas, the Qingmo demons in the Cangmo Realm are too easy to kill. They're gone so quickly? This time, I've wasted my efforts for nothing."

"Anyway, we just joined the coalition. Without the array bases for the Cross-Realm Pulling Array or the array discs to trigger it, we don't need to complete the coalition's upcoming missions. Why not go together to hunt down those fleeing Qingmo demon experts?"

"A peak Soul Transformation Qingmo demon is worth ten thousand Demon-Hunting Merits."

"If we make a kill, the four of us might just gather enough to reach three thousand Demon-Hunting Merits each and earn the right to scavenge spirit stones in the Cangmo Realm. What do you say?"

"Are you crazy? 'If'? That's a peak Soul Transformation Qingmo demon expert, and not just any one, but an elite among the elites at that realm. How could the four of us possibly match them?"

"Exactly. I'd rather waste my efforts than go to my death."

"Then what should we do now? Return to the Di Li Xuan Realm?"

"This... let's see what happens!"

"It's over, it's over. Where can I find enough to reach three thousand Demon-Hunting Merits now?"

"This vast Cangmo Realm, and there isn't even a shadow of a Qingmo demon to be seen. Sigh."

"Wait, that's not right. I can't find any Qingmo demons to hunt for merits, but I seem to have heard that Demon-Hunting Merits can be transferred."

"Those veterans in the alliance must have excess Demon-Hunting Merits. I can go trade with them for merits! Hahaha, I'm a genius."

Under the general offensive of the Human Alliance this time, the Qingmo demons in the Cangmo Realm collapsed and perished far too quickly.

To achieve a swift victory, many peak Soul Transformation human cultivators in the Human Alliance, after defeating their own opponents, went on to slay numerous Soul Transformation Qingmo demon experts one after another.

As a result, after the great battle ended, many human cultivators who had just joined the coalition gained nothing.

There are now at least several thousand human Soul Transformation experts who failed to obtain the right to scavenge the Cangmo Realm's Origin Spirit Stones, Rule Spirit Stones, and Law Spirit Stones.

Although dissatisfied, the Cangmo Realm now basically has no Qingmo demons below the peak Soul Transformation realm left. Even the peak Soul Transformation Qingmo demons still fleeing number fewer than a hundred.

Therefore, most people had no choice but to fly through various parts of the Cangmo Realm, hoping to find any weak stragglers among them.

Many smart ones, having done their homework beforehand and knowing that Demon-Hunting Merits could be transferred, went directly to the veterans in the alliance to negotiate various conditions for trading merits.

However, very few actually managed to trade for Demon-Hunting Merits.

Firstly, many experts who lacked no conventional resources did not want to create competitors for themselves in scavenging spirit stones.

Secondly, to incentivize human experts to join the coalition, the major powers behind the alliance had provided vast amounts of cultivation resources, allowing cultivators within the coalition to exchange Demon-Hunting Merits for these resources.

Thus, there are extremely, extremely few coalition cultivators who still possess a large amount of Demon-Hunting Merits.

In the core region of the Cangmo Realm, Ye Ye Qingxuan landed atop a mountain peak that had been cleaved in half. He subconsciously checked the Demon-Hunting Merits within his Demon-Hunting Token, which had already surpassed twenty thousand.

Hearing some of the remarks from nearby, Ye Ye Qingxuan merely smiled and paid them no mind.

Although Demon-Hunting Merits could be transferred, without any kinship or friendship, Ye Ye Qingxuan had no intention of playing the role of a do-gooder.

As for using these excess merits to trade for resources with them? Ye Ye Qingxuan felt that for such meager resources, he was too lazy to even open his mouth or make a move.

Like other cultivators who had just joined the coalition, Ye Ye Qingxuan had not received the array bases for the Cross-Realm Pulling Array and the array discs to trigger it, which the coalition had prepared in advance.

Therefore, he did not need to complete the upcoming deployment missions.

As for those defeated and fleeing Qingmo demon experts, he had no interest in participating in their pursuit or encirclement.

After all, thousands of peak Soul Transformation experts from the Human Alliance were already mobilized; his presence was not needed.

With nothing to do, Ye Ye Qingxuan could only wait in place for the end of the Cangmo Realm.

Time slowly passed.

Since the experts of the Human Alliance were already scattered across most regions of the Cangmo Realm,

less than half a day after the coalition commanders issued their orders, vast numbers of array bases for the Cross-Realm Pulling Array had been deployed across the Cangmo Realm, and array discs to trigger the arrays had been set up within the remaining demonic veins.

And it was within this less-than-half-day period that

among the peak Soul Transformation Qingmo demons who had originally been fleeing, although most had been tracked and encircled by human experts, remaining forever in the Cangmo Realm,

a small number of Qingmo demons with exceptional flight speeds still managed to escape the human cultivators' pursuit one after another.

After finding safe locations, these Qingmo demon experts successfully activated the cross-realm channels opened by the Qingmo Realm and returned to the Qingmo Realm.

Furthermore, immediately after returning to the Qingmo Realm, they transmitted the events that had occurred in the Cangmo Realm to the high command of the Qingmo Realm Alliance.

Upon receiving the information from the Cangmo Realm,

in a rage, the high command of the Qingmo Realm Alliance reacted swiftly, dispatching a batch of Soul Transformation elites to the Cangmo Realm in the shortest possible time.

They were also continuously drawing Soul Transformation experts from various parts of the Qingmo Realm.

In a certain region of the Cangmo Realm, after a slight fluctuation in space, thousands of Soul Transformation Qingmo demon elites began to emerge continuously.

The foremost among them, a peak Soul Transformation Qingmo demon, upon descending, stood suspended in mid-air, radiating killing intent, and declared:

"Humans, you seek death! Since I have descended upon the Cangmo Realm, you shall all pay with blood for your blood debts!"

The human cultivators nearby who discovered this group of Qingmo demons descending were not only unalarmed but shouted with unexpected joy: "Holy crap, more Qingmo demons are descending? And there are thousands of them! Brothers, come quickly!"

Under the propagation of spiritual power, the voice spread directly in all directions.

Hearing these words, many human Soul Transformation experts who had not yet gathered enough Demon-Hunting Merits rushed frantically toward this location.

In addition, the coalition elites scattered across various regions also changed their expressions and, without prior agreement, headed toward the source of the sound.

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

"Kill!"

"Crash!"

In a short time, over ten thousand human Soul Transformation experts had gathered at the location where the Qingmo demons descended, launching an encirclement against this first batch of several thousand Soul Transformation Qingmo demon elites.

"Damn it, how did so many human experts gather so quickly?"

The peak Soul Transformation realm member of the Azure Demon Clan, who had just boasted so loudly, saw this scene and his face instantly changed. Cursing under his breath, he scanned the surroundings, seeking an opportunity to break through and await reinforcements, only to realize it was too late; at this moment, their entire Azure Demon Clan contingent was surrounded by over ten thousand human experts, completely cut off.

At the same time, the various allied commanders, having received the information and sensed something amiss, dared not delay any longer.

Seeing that everything was already in place, they had no intention of continuing to send troops to exterminate this Azure Demon Clan group. They directly issued the order:

"Quickly, detonate all the demonic veins within the Azure Demon Realm."

Immediately, orders were sent out from the locations of these allied commanders, remotely notifying all prepared human experts to detonate every demonic vein within the Azure Demon Realm.

The human alliance experts who received their commanders' orders hesitated not a moment and directly detonated the sources of all the demonic veins within the Azure Demon Realm.

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

In an instant, violent explosions and energy fluctuations erupted everywhere within the Azure Demon Realm.

The Azure Demon Realm, which was already teetering on the brink of collapse, was instantly filled with lightning and thunder, resembling the end of the world, while the extraordinary energy aura it contained plummeted to its absolute limit.

The entire earth cracked and shattered, with fissures constantly expanding and extending. The crystal wall protecting the world also grew dim, showing faint signs of breaking.

"Not good!"

The Azure Demon Clan experts, who had been fighting desperately, felt their hearts instantly chill by half upon seeing this scene.

The cultivators of the human alliance who were besieging and killing this group of Azure Demon Clan members were beaming with joy, while those human experts who had not yet gathered enough for three thousand Demon-Hunting Merits felt a mix of worry and joy, their attacks becoming even more fierce.

"Hum!"

An invisible wave of sorrow enveloped the entire Azure Demon Realm.

"Boom!"

"Crash!"

After a deafening roar erupted from the depths of the Azure Demon Realm's origin, a rain of sparkling crystal stones began to fall throughout the entire Azure Demon Realm.

Seeing this, a flash of sharp light appeared in Ye Ye Qingxuan's eyes as he said:

"Under the cumulative heavy blows, with no chance for recovery, the Azure Demon Realm's status as a minor world has finally fallen."

"Whoosh!"

Watching the various colored crystal stones falling from the high sky, Ye Ye Qingxuan instantly shot upward, flying toward these crystals before they could land.

It was not just Ye Ye Qingxuan; the alliance members scattered across the Azure Demon Realm also eagerly rushed toward the falling crystals, their eyes burning with desire.

Just at this moment, the Demon-Hunting Tokens carried by all human alliance members began to emit two distinct, dazzling colors of light.

For those human experts who had already gathered three thousand Demon-Hunting Merits, the Demon-Hunting Tokens they carried emitted a yellow light.

For those human cultivators who had not yet gathered three thousand Demon-Hunting Merits, the Demon-Hunting Tokens they carried emitted a red light.

These lights were clearly visible and very obvious.

To prevent human experts from killing each other, the human alliance had long established a rule: during the struggle for the crystals, cultivators must rely on their own abilities, but once a crystal has an owner, no one may attack for any reason.

Violators will be punished by the human alliance, with no mercy shown.

However, all of this protection from the rule applies only to human experts who have gathered three thousand Demon-Hunting Merits.

Any cultivator whose Demon-Hunting Token emits red light, or who has voluntarily discarded their token, and dares to ignore the rules to snatch crystals.

Will be attacked by all.

Even if they are killed, all those who attacked will not be punished by the alliance.

Therefore, the human experts across the Azure Demon Realm who had not yet gathered three thousand Demon-Hunting Merits, though drooling over the crystals scattered in the high sky, dared not make any rash moves.

Because even if they wanted to secretly gather some crystals in the shadows, they had no chance.

Now, human cultivators were present everywhere in the Azure Demon Realm; before the falling crystals from the high sky even hit the ground, they had already been swept up completely.

If they flew into the high sky, the dazzling red light surrounding them would be far too conspicuous.

Thinking of their own lives, most people suppressed the greed in their hearts.

Even the few cultivators who took a desperate gamble could not stir up any waves; they could only suffer heavy injuries, or even perish and have their Dao extinguished, under the siege of the crowd.

At this moment, no one would show any mercy.

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

In the high sky above a certain location in the Azure Demon Realm, Ye Ye Qingxuan casually knocked away a peak Soul Transformation realm expert and three late-stage Soul Transformation realm experts.

Then, with a wave of his hand, he gathered the thousands of various colored crystals falling in this area into his possession.

Seeing that all the crystals in this area had been taken by Ye Ye Qingxuan, the other three late-stage Soul Transformation realm experts exchanged glances, then decisively left the area and fled toward another region.

The peak Soul Transformation realm cultivator who had been knocked away by Ye Ye Qingxuan looked at him with a solemn expression and asked:

"Such immense strength. Who are you? Which faction's disciple are you?"

Facing the other's question, Ye Ye Qingxuan smiled slightly without responding, directly transforming into a beam of rainbow light and flying toward the high sky of another region.

Watching Ye Ye Qingxuan's departing figure, the peak Soul Transformation realm expert's face changed once again. He whispered, "Such fast flight speed? Is this really the power of the Soul Transformation realm? I wonder which faction cultivated such a genius?"

He shook his head slightly, cast one last glance in the direction Ye Ye Qingxuan had left, and then chose to flee in the opposite direction.

At the same time, as the crystals fell from the sky and the Azure Demon Realm lost its minor world status.

All the Traction Great Arrays' array bases deployed by the Human Alliance throughout the Azure Demon Realm seemed to have reached the conditions for activation and were instantly triggered almost simultaneously.

"Hum! Hum! Hum!" In an instant, the power of countless Traction Great Arrays' array bases began to resonate and converge into one, gradually forming a Traction Great Array sub-array that covered the entire Azure Demon Realm.

Meanwhile, in the distant Earth Mystery Realm.

In a desolate, uninhabited region, five extremely vast and profound Traction Great Arrays' mother arrays, which were temporarily in a state of silence, were situated in different areas.

Shortly after the Traction Great Array sub-array within the Azure Demon Realm was activated, one of the Traction Great Arrays' mother arrays also began to emit brilliant light and rotate at an extreme speed.

Sensing the disturbance of this Traction Great Array's mother array, a Mahayana Realm expert guarding the high sky above suddenly opened his eyes and smiled slightly, saying:

"The Azure Demon Realm? It seems it is done."
