Chapter 629: Chapter 502: War Demon Puppet

"Nascent Soul Demon Monarch!"

In an instant, the Lan Bing Saintess of the Blood Refining Demon Sect appeared.

Mo Lingwei and Wei Wuya both showed looks of despair on their faces.

Facing the Nascent Soul Demon Monarch, their only path was death.

Just as they were preparing to make their final desperate struggle, the space nearby stirred with a wave of void fluctuations.

Behind the two, a noble-looking figure in palace attire suddenly appeared.

"You two quickly return to Wangyue Island and inform Fellow Daoist Qin; let me handle things here."

After Yue Lingyan spoke, a powerful spiritual pressure exclusive to a Tier Four Demon Saint was unleashed, dispelling the cold air of the Lan Bing Saintess.

Seeing the sudden appearance of the Fox Race Demon Saint to aid them, Mo Lingwei and Wei Wuya secretly rejoiced at their survival.

Yet in the next instant, she hurriedly transmitted to Yue Lingyan:

"Silver Moon Demon Saint senior, the demonic path has a grand scheme; their target is Thunder Accumulation Mountain!"

Upon hearing this, Yue Lingyan was taken aback; she had just left Thunder Accumulation Mountain and didn’t expect to encounter such an occurrence.

"Hmph! You think you can leave?"

The Lan Bing Saintess raised her delicate hand, and a powerful array pattern emerged in the void, instantly enveloping everyone in icy blue light.

Seeing this, Yue Lingyan spat out a pink treasure bead that spun in the air, unleashing five-colored radiance that struck the array light curtain.

Instantly, it tore open a two-foot-long opening.

Mo Lingwei and Wei Wuya knew this was the opportunity Silver Moon Demon Saint had created for them.

Without hesitation.

They each took out their last resort for survival and bolted through the array opening.

Then, without looking back, they fled towards the Southern Wilderness.

The magical duels between Nascent Soul Great Powers were beyond their involvement.

"Can’t let them escape, chase them!"

The Golden Core Demon Cultivator controlling the demon armored corpses roared and transformed into a billowing demonic qi to pursue them.

"Interesting, you broke through my Tier Four Middle-Grade Profound Ice Array."

The Lan Bing Saintess spoke as the sound of ice freezing crackled, and a cold long sword emitting a demonic light formed in her hand.

But Yue Lingyan was unmoved, disregarding her opponent, and transformed into a silver streak, rushing back towards Thunder Accumulation Mountain.

The Lan Bing Saintess gave her no chance; her demonic qi surged, a sky-covering ice cone divine technique descended, blocking Yue Lingyan’s path.

With a cold glint in her eyes, Yue Lingyan immediately transformed into a silver giant fox, three hundred feet in size, with four fox tails dancing behind her.

Rumble!

In an instant, the world changed color, and two terrifying divine techniques fiercely clashed.

Mountains crumbled, earth shattered, the heavens and earth were destroyed.

...

On the other side.

At the peak of Thunder Accumulation Mountain belonging to the Mountain Giant Ape Race, a funnel-shaped demonic qi in the void connected and permeated the entire mountain, brewing a great disaster.

Above the celestial vault seemed to be torn open into a massive crevice, a pathway of void as large as several thousand feet, the largest since the Celestial Demon Tribulation.

From Beast Roar Mountain Range, one could even catch glimpses of the blurry scenes within the Blood Realm.

Demonstrating that the interface merging between the Blood Realm and the Human Realm had reached a significant depth, resulting in such a large-scale void anomaly.

Countless demon ships emerged from the rift, surging demonic qi spilled forth, polluting the surroundings, as if great horror was about to descend.

Demon Saint Gushan had transformed into a mountain giant ape over four hundred feet in size, holding a towering dark giant rod, glaring at the demonic path above the clouds.

Nearby Thunder Accumulation Mountain, black clouds stirred, and atop these oppressive clouds, countless Demon Sect demon ships loomed, tens of thousands of demon vessels surrounded the entire mountain range, impenetrable.

Far exceeding the situation at Dragon Abyss Island.

On the largest demon ship’s bow, several powerful aura demon cultivators stood with hands behind their backs.

The leader, a tall man wearing a white mask, stood in the air, gazing calmly at Demon Saint Gushan, his aura unfathomable.

His immense presence caused the nascent soul cultivators around him to show utmost respect.

"Are you the Demon Saint Gushan?"

"I’ve heard you like to collaborate with the Human Race, causing quite a bit of trouble for our sect."

"Tell me, what kind of death do you desire? I shall grant it soon."

After Celestial Hatred Demon Monarch spoke, a terrifying late-stage nascent soul spiritual pressure was released from him.

This caused the mountain giant apes within the range to prostrate on the ground, struggling to breathe under the pressure.

The ones with slightly lower cultivation instantly exploded into a bloody mist.

Then.

Celestial Hatred Demon Monarch calmly formed an incantation with one hand, and a black light orb slowly appeared.

Rumble!

A massive black light sphere slowly rose behind Celestial Hatred Demon Monarch, resembling a black hole formed by an eclipse.

Filled with a terrifying suction force.

As the sphere expanded like a storm, within a few breaths, it reached over a thousand feet, radiating a destructive aura.

Dim shadows enveloped the entire Thunder Accumulation Mountain.

Countless rocks and forests were drawn in like a storm.

Whatever touched the eclipse sphere was reduced to nothingness.

The crowd witnessing this scene was all appalled!

This was the supreme technique of the Blood Realm’s number one Nascent Soul cultivator!

The eyes of Demon Saint Gushan’s giant ape, watching the sweeping black hole, displayed a highly solemn expression.

Roar!

The white mountain giant ape roared to the heavens, raising its massive stone rod, as its body erupted with terrifying demonic power, charging towards Celestial Hatred Demon Monarch.

...

Several days later.

Southern Wilderness Cultivation Realm, Wangyue Island.

Qin Ming steered the Sky Piercing Treasure Chariot and returned to his old base.

But he hadn’t even warmed his seat when a commotion erupted below Spirit Island.

The Heaven-Devouring Rat, with its rounded belly exposed, lay sprawled out on the grass napping and was instantly awakened by the noise.

"What’s going on? Is the Demon Path attacking?"

Before it could go down to check, a golden Escape Light landed on the main peak, revealing the figure of Hua Tianxiong, who approached Qin Ming with a very serious expression to report.

"Master, something big has happened!"

Qin Ming nodded, and with just a sweep of his Divine Thought, understood the situation. His form blurred and disappeared instantly.

When he reappeared, he was already below Wangyue Island.

He saw Mo Lingwei and Wei Wuya returning in extreme distress, heavily injured.

With a flick of his finger, Qin Ming fed two High-Tier Healing Pills into their mouths.

As the medicinal power quickly dissolved, Mo Lingwei and Wei Wuya’s complexions improved significantly.

"What happened?"

"Weren’t you investigating the void anomalies at the border?" Qin Ming asked.

Mo Lingwei’s injuries weren’t as severe as Wei Wuya’s. She stood up and clasped her hands in salute to Qin Ming, saying, "Reporting to Lord Island Master, trouble has arisen in the Beast Roar Mountain Range."

"We discovered that the Blood Huan Realm is about to launch a second Descent Realm, targeting the Thunder Accumulation Mountain of the Mountain Giant Ape Race."

"It might become a second Demon Abyss Island."

"If it wasn’t for the Silver Moon Demon Saint, we probably wouldn’t have made it back..."

At this, Mo Lingwei seemed fearful.

"What?! Speak in detail." Qin Ming’s expression was also grave.

Then Mo Lingwei explained everything they discovered about the anomalies and the situation at the Beast Roar Mountain Range, one by one to Qin Ming.

When he heard that Yue Lingyan was facing the Demonic Saintess alone, the Little Silver Fox to the side pouted, showing a worried look.

Qin Ming stroked her head to comfort her.

"Island Master, what should we do next?"

"If such an important place as Thunder Accumulation Mountain is taken by the Demon Path, it could simultaneously restrain several major Cultivation Realms."

"Furthermore, the alliance between the Human and Demon Races might be hard to maintain."

"Next, it will be the turn of the Southern Wilderness."

Mo Lingwei, being meticulous, deduced the reason for the massive actions of the Demon Path this time.

With slight deliberation, Qin Ming made his decision.

"I’ll go and see what’s going on first. You all gather the cultivators of the Four Nations Alliance to prepare for the Demon Path invasion."

As he was about to leave, he paused and said, "If the periphery can’t hold, don’t force it. Let them seek shelter at the Spirit Nest Islands."

After hearing Mo Lingwei’s report, combined with various indications, it seemed that the Blood Huan Realm Demon Path planned to go all in.

When he was at the Blood Refining Demon Sect, he had heard Yanf Shu Demon Monarch mention that Celestial Hatred Demon Monarch was plotting something in the Descent Realm with Lan Bing Saintess.

Since Lan Bing Saintess appeared, it indicated that Celestial Hatred Demon Monarch personally arrived as well.

"Sigh! Anyone else would be ignored."

"But this time it’s Yue Lingyan... I have to provide support."

"Late-stage Nascent Soul... if necessary, I’ll have to shorten its lifespan. Even though the cost is high, I can plant more fields to make up for it later."

With time pressing, Qin Ming left the Profound Water Crocodile and Silver-winged Frost to guard Wangyue Island.

He took Heaven-Devouring Rat and Little Silver Fox and flew at full speed towards the Beast Roar Mountain Range.

...

Near the Wei Country border.

Dozens of Demonic Cultivators were hurrying back, steering their Demonic Artifacts.

"Demon Envoy, we’ve lost the pursuers, the news must have leaked, I’m afraid we’ll be punished by the Demon Monarch when we return!"

"Shut up! It’s all you worthless trash! I’ve stressed the importance of this matter countless times, yet you still brought back a tail."

The late-stage Golden Core Demonic Cultivator’s face was extremely gloomy, almost dripping water.

"But whether or not we catch them doesn’t matter now. This time, Celestial Hatred Demon Monarch brought us the ’Power Puppet Demon Form’, a top-tier war machine in the Cultivation Realm, its power comparable to late-stage Nascent Soul."

"Sweeping the Human Realm is a piece of cake, and under a Venerable Divinity Transformation, no one can withstand its blow."

"This time, the Demon Monarch intends to flatten the Human Realm with us!"

Just as the Golden Core Demonic Cultivator finished speaking.

A faint voice came from the sky nearby: "Oh? Is that so?"

The Demonic Cultivators present were shocked and searched for the source of the voice but found nothing.

Only the late-stage Golden Core Demonic Cultivator was panic-stricken and exclaimed, "Not good! It’s a Nascent Soul Old Monster, run!"

However, before they could move.

A Sky Piercing Treasure Chariot emitting a five-colored treasure light flew over their heads in the blink of an eye.

A sharp and domineering Nascent Soul Divine Thought swept across.

The cultivators exploded into blood mists without a chance to scream.

The Sky Piercing Treasure Chariot continued on its path without the slightest reduction in speed.

Inside the carriage, Qin Ming’s eyes flickered as he held the head of the Golden Core Demonic Cultivator to perform a soul search.

A moment later, he tossed the Demonic Cultivator’s body into the Little Spirit Realm as fertilizer.

After the soul search, Qin Ming learned some information, his expression changing unpredictably.

"The 72 Celestial Stars Grand Array!"

"And the ancient Power Demon Sect’s war machine legacy—the Power Puppet Demon Form."

"The Power Puppet Demon Form, a creation combining the Blood Huan Realm Demon Path’s top-tier array, puppet, and artifact refining path, is a Tier Four Peak War Demon Puppet. Even a casual strike is equivalent to late-stage Nascent Soul..."

"Of course, operating this demon form carries enormous costs, which is why the Demon Path didn’t initially use it during their Descent Realm. Looks like they’re desperate..."

"Damn! This thing doesn’t have a lifespan! My life-shortening Divine Technique doesn’t seem to work on it..."
