The Gathering and a Bountiful Haul of Merit "Bonus Chapter"

Another month Little True Person Yueyang, Yang Xuanyun, Yang Xuande Feng Lieqing arrived one after another.

Seeing all the familiar faces in front of him, Yang Tianyou breathed a sigh of relief.

Subsequently, taking advantage of Yunhua's status, they began to carry out missions everywhere, hunting down Devil Race and earning Merits.

Three months later, in the exceptionally vast Greenclaw Great Swamp, two forces were facing off.

They were the cultivator armies led by Yunhua and Yang Tianyou, and on the other side, the Devil Race army Commander by a demon in the Nascent Soul Late Stage Devil Race stage.

A month after the Devil Race's crushing defeat, the Heavenly Demon sent eight more Sage Manifestation Devil Race and a large number of Devil Race troops from its main camp, attempting to use this new force to stabilize the war situation in the northern part of the Eastern Continent.

Among these Devil Lords, the leader is the Black Origin Devil Lord, whose strength is no less than that of the Bloodfiend Devil Lord, and whose personality is calm and composed.

After arriving at the battlefield, he chose to use numerous Demon Nests as a base, combined with various Spirit Veins Spirit Mountains, to set up a layered, tiered Defense System to block the allied forces' advance. He also formed an elite force in the rear to seek opportunities to engage in battle.

Faced with this situation, the Guanghan Immortal ordered that the allied forces should not be hasty, but should press forward step by step and suppress the enemy with overwhelming force.

Each time a Devil Race fortress was breached, a defensive fortress was built, connecting it with the rear battle line to form a tight network to guard against Devil Race attacks.

This three-dimensional, roller-like attack left the Devil Race helpless, but they couldn't find a good opportunity to counterattack. They could only resist while retreating step by step, looking for opportunities on other battlefields in an attempt to turn the tide.

The war proceeded in an orderly manner under these circumstances, with the Allied forces generally holding the upper hand and occupying a favorable position of taking the initiative in the offensive.

On the Flying Boat, Yang Tianyou and Yunhua were discussing how to breach the Devil Race fortress on the other side.

"These Devil Race have changed from their rampant behavior a few months ago. They are now guarding the fortress with great caution. Even though we don't have any cultivators above the Nascent Soul Middle Stage, they haven't let their guard down in the slightest. They're like turtles hiding in the ground, making them really difficult to deal with!" Yunhua frowned, a helpless look on her fair face.

Upon hearing this, Yang Tianyou nodded, "The Devil Race are quite strong, only slightly weaker than us. Their Demon Nest defenses are particularly tough, but it's not impossible!"

"You have an idea?" Yunhua's beautiful eyes brightened slightly.

"Hmm, don't you still have two Fourth-Tier High-Grade -Formation-Breaking Talisman? You'll probably have to use them this time!"

"Fourth-Tier High-Grade -Formation-Breaking Talisman?" Yunhua shook his head. "Given the strength of the Devil Race's defenses, Fifth Tier Formation-Breaking Talisman would probably be needed. But even on the exchange List, Talisman of that rank are rare. It was snapped up by the waiting cultivators as soon as it appeared; truly exceptional!"

"It's alright. As long as we can reduce the power of the Devil Race's shield to less than 30% in a short time, I can send the Void Worm in to infiltrate it. Then, using the Spatial Exchange technique and the power of the Mountain-Sea Pearl, Grotto-Heaven Talisman Artifact, I can bring along Fourth Tier Puppets and Dao Soldiers to work with you from the inside and break through their Defense System in one fell swoop," Yang Tianyou said confidently.

"Your Void Worm is about to advance?" Yunhua asked with delight, her beautiful eyes slightly wide open.

Even if the Devil Race's protective shield is reduced to only 30% of its power, a Tier 2 Void Worm is not so easy to cross; only Third Tier Void Worm has this ability.

"Not yet, but I'll be promoted in less than a month!" Yang Tianyou smiled faintly.

"In that case, let's wait and surround them for now. But are you sure you don't want the Void Worms to accumulate more power? The difficulty of a spirit worm Tribulation Transcendence far exceeds that of Demon Beast. If its foundation isn't strong enough, it's easy for it to die under the Tribulation Lightning!" Yunhua asked with some concern.

"Don't worry, 80% of the space resources I exchanged two months ago ended up in its belly. This guy's foundation and resources are now extremely strong, and I'm 90% confident of a successful breakthrough."

"That's good. We can't be careless with the top ten spirit insects on the Exotic Insect Ranking!"

Twenty days later, over a swamp a thousand miles from the Devil Race fortress, dark Dark Clouds filled the sky, Thunder flashed, and a surging aura of Tribulation Lightning swept in.

Yang Tianyou, accompanied by his Vajra Ape Puppet, Dharma Protector on the side, while his Seven Bonded Spirit Beasts kept watch in all directions.

The Void Worm is of such great value that it could even tempt Sage Manifestation being; one must be extremely cautious.

Boom!

As the Tribulation Lightning struck, the silver insect curled up into a ball, and layers of spatial ripples spread from its body, diverting the Thunder elsewhere.

Time flies!

After breaking through to the Third Tier, the Void Worm automatically acquires a Life-Bound Divine Ability that allows it to reflect incoming attacks back using Spatial Power, or move them to other locations without harming itself.

Rumble!

Thunder roared in, Void Worm, relying on its spatial talent and the immense Law Power supported by its profound foundation, successfully passed through nine Tribulation Lightning, achieving the Third Tier realm.

Three days later, Yang Tianyou and Yunhua led their troops to attack the Devil Race fortress.

Buzz!!

The Five-Elements Reversal Formation suddenly appeared, and attacks of various attributes were generated: Thunder, hurricane, raging flames, sandstorm... The vast torrent of attacks, carrying enormous and extraordinary Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, washed over the protective shield of the Devil Race fortress, splashing up layers of wave-like ripples.

Yunhua stood at the bow of the boat and handed two Fourth-Tier High-Grade -Formation-Breaking Talisman to the Dao Soldiers behind him, asking them to activate them on his behalf.

This is, after all, a Fourth Tier Talisman. Although she can activate it, its power will be greatly diminished, making it a complete waste of a treasure.

Two Dao Soldiers flew out into the air, simultaneously activating the Formation-Breaking Talisman.

Brush!!

The Talisman shone brightly, condensing in mid-air into two hundred-foot- Flying Shuttles. The gray-white Annihilation Power in a spiral shape gathered on the Flying Shuttles, making them incredibly powerful.

Thump!!

The two Flying Shuttles struck the protective shield at the same time.

At the same time, Yunhua activated the Five-Elements Reversal Formation to its maximum extent, and a beam of five colors, as if encompassing the magnificent divine light of all things in the world, shone out.

With the two Formation-Breaking Talisman and the Five-Colored Divine Light, the Nascent Soul Demon Kings stationed there were all terrified, thinking that the Human Race cultivators on the other side were about to launch a general attack. They hurriedly Demonic Transformation energy into resisting the attack.

Unexpectedly, after three attacks, the Human Race cultivators disappeared without a trace.

The Five-Elements Reversal Formation was still operating, but it seemed to be accumulating something, and it did not launch another attack.

Just as the Demon Kings were wondering what was going on, suddenly, four attacks at the Nascent Soul Level descended from inside the protective shield. These attacks were not aimed at them, but instead struck directly at the key points of the fortress's protective shield.

The Demon Kings looked closely and saw a Golden Core Human Race, a Nascent Soul Level Ape Puppet, and two Nascent Soul Middle Stage Dao Soldiers who had infiltrated their fortress using various methods and launched an attack.

"Quickly, concentrate your attacks and annihilate them!" a Demon King shouted hoarsely.

However, by then it was too late.

At the center of the Five-Elements Reversal Formation that filled the world, a Purple Thunderball was suddenly forming.

A violent and unusually strong surge of Thunder emanated from it.

Boom!!

The Thunder struck down with terrifying power, sweeping away all evil and clearing away the demonic aura, hitting the protective barrier.

Yang Tianyou and the other three Nascent Soul cultivators also launched an attack simultaneously, targeting the weak points inside the fortress. With their combined efforts from the inside and outside, they broke through the Devil Race fortress in one fell swoop.

Bang!--

The Formation Shield exploded, and black light rained down, followed by the Five-Elements Reversal Formation enveloping everything.

Under Yunhua's guidance, Yang Tianyou returned to his original position and fully activated the Fifth-Tier Mid-Grade Formation, transforming it into a towering furnace.

Raging flames rose from the furnace, the scorching True Fire of the Fifth Tier igniting the Demon Nests and the Devil Race themselves, and shrill screams echoed within the formation.

Several Nascent Soul Devil Race, unwilling to surrender, led their subordinates in an attempt to break through the encirclement, but were confused by the Five-Elements Reversal Formation and lost their bearings.

Having lost their fortress as a support and foundation, they were utterly powerless to resist the Formation's power, which was strong enough to refine even Spirit Transformation cultivators.

Half a day later, all the Devil Race were reduced to ashes, their Demon Souls ignited by the flames, and they all perished.

When the Formation dissipated, all that remained was a vast area scorched into a desert, along with clumps of black ash. Yang Tianyou and his companions once again added another significant Merit to their record.
