Afterward, Starry Sunny Grand Elder proposed how to distribute the marketplace’s demonic veins, with Ling Pengyun receiving a substantial share as the discussion continued.

• Starry Sunny Grand Elder proposed removing the marketplace’s demonic veins and converting them into Righteous Path spiritual veins, then suggested that Ling Pengyun receive thirty percent and her sect receive twenty-five percent, including the Quasi Fifth Rank Demonic Vein.

Ling Pengyun secured a thirty percent share of the demonic veins, including a plan to claim and relocate the Quasi Fifth Rank Demonic Vein to the Northern Wilderness Cultivation World. After the allied forces settled their dispute over the shares, Ling Pengyun arranged for help relocating his clan’s veins and received a visit from a hidden senior offering him a treasure as a reward.

• Starry Sunny Grand Elder and Ling Pengyun refused to yield the vein, and White Cloud Old True Lord brokered a settlement that gave the Supreme Buddha Kingdom fifteen percent of the demonic vein benefits.
• The allied forces divided the demonic veins, and Ling Pengyun received eight or nine thousand veins, including four Fourth Rank veins; he then secured Starry Sunny Grand Elder’s help relocating them in exchange for ten percent of his clan’s share.
• Ling Pengyun sent a message from his temporary cave abode, and a concealed senior arrived, praised his role in the battle, and offered him a choice of one among several powerful treasures.

Ling Pengyun entrusted Star Sea Old Ancestor with reforging three captured treasures and received a fifth-rank defensive talisman, then began improving his aura-concealment art to evade powerful enemies. Meanwhile, Crimson Buddha Old Demon and the Xu Tian Flame Demon Tiger Emperor brooded over their losses and considered how to resist the Righteous Path forces.

• Ling Pengyun gave Star Sea Old Ancestor Heavenly Evolution Treasure Iron, Crimson Sword Old Demon's sword embryo, and two demonic treasures to reforge, offering a soul as payment, but Star Sea Old Ancestor agreed to help for free and gave him a fifth-rank defensive talisman.

• Crimson Buddha Old Demon watched the Righteous Path forces occupy Crimson Buddha Marketplace and pinned his sect's dire losses on Ling Pengyun, placing his hopes on the Heavenly Corpse Demon Sect's defenses.
• The Xu Tian Flame Demon Tiger Emperor lamented Xu Ming's death and the loss of the clan's two treasures, while recalling that it had not dared intervene because Star Sea Old Ancestor might have retaliated.

After Crimson Buddha Marketplace fell, the weakened Sea Flood Dragon Race and Black Flood Dragon Clan feared Ling Pengyun and tacitly agreed with other Spirit Transformation demons and devils to target him. The Righteous Path Coalition then spent years clearing the Crimson Buddha Realm, while Ling Pengyun left with the coalition and gained a vast haul of demonic resources for his lineage.

• The Sea Flood Dragon Old Ancestor and Black Flood Dragon Old Ancestor worried that Ling Pengyun would become a grave threat and joined other Spirit Transformation demons and devils in agreeing to deal with him.
• Old Monk Wu Yuan urged the Supreme Buddha Lord to disrupt the campaign against the Crimson Buddha Demon Sect, but the Supreme Buddha Lord refused and chose to maintain the current course.
• After three years relocating the demonic veins and lands from Crimson Buddha Marketplace, Yan Siyi told Ling Pengyun that the coalition would move on to attack nearby demonic forces and eventually seek the Crimson Buddha Secret Realm.
• Ling Pengyun left the marketplace with Yan Siyi as the Righteous Path Coalition split into teams and swept through the weakened demonic forces of the Crimson Buddha Realm.
• The Heavenly Corpse Demon Sect welcomed fleeing demonic cultivators while the coalition cleared the smaller forces; after ten years, the realm had been purged and Ling Pengyun had secured vast demonic inheritances, resources, and lands for his lineage.

Ling Pengyun considered the Ling Clan’s growing foundation for becoming a Spirit Transformation force as the Righteous Path Coalition began its assault on the Heavenly Corpse Demon Sect. The coalition’s attacks battered the sect’s formidable array, and Starry Sunny Grand Elder began forming a massive grand array with the cultivators.

• Ling Pengyun recognized that the Ling Clan had gained the beginnings of a Spirit Transformation force’s foundation, while Xing Dian warned Starry Sunny Grand Elder about its growing power and requested a postwar assignment guarding the Quasi Fifth Rank Spirit Vein.
• The Righteous Path Coalition spent nearly half a year recovering and improving before surrounding the Heavenly Corpse Demon Sect and attacking its Grand Abyss Profound Nether Array.
• Heavenly Corpse True Lord rallied the sect’s panicked cultivators, but the coalition’s Nascent Soul experts overwhelmed their attacks while the array withstood the bombardment.
• Ling Pengyun unleashed Five Elements Profound Thunder against the demon sect’s cultivators and array, creating openings for the coalition’s attacks and causing ripples in the array.
• Starry Sunny Grand Elder called on the coalition’s cultivators to help establish a Quasi Fifth Rank grand array, whose array runes formed a colossal flood dragon.

Ling Pengyun and the Righteous Path Coalition battered the Heavenly Corpse Demon Sect’s weakened defenses, only to discover that the apparent breach had enabled two Demon Corpses to absorb the blood of millions and reach the Spirit Transformation Realm. After Ling Pengyun rescued the Array Formation Flood Dragon Soul from their flames, the Demon Corpses formed a fire dragon and the coalition launched a joint counterattack.

• Ling Pengyun, Starry Sunny Grand Elder, and the other coalition leaders broke through the Heavenly Corpse Demon Sect’s Defense Array, while Ling Pengyun warned them not to enter through the breach.
• The coalition slaughtered millions of demon cultivators near the breach, and their corpses were drained of blood and turned into mummies.
• Two Nascent Soul Completion Demon Corpses emerged, absorbed the collected blood, and used the array’s power to reach the Spirit Transformation Realm.
• The Demon Corpses’ flames sealed the breach and trapped the Array Formation Flood Dragon Soul, but Ling Pengyun combined his thunderclouds with the Five Elements Hundred Treasures Long River to free it.
• Heavenly Corpse Demon Lord formed the Demon Corpses’ flames into a powerful fire dragon, and Ling Pengyun, Starry Sunny Grand Elder, Old Monk Wu Yuan, and the other coalition leaders joined forces to attack it.

The Heavenly Corpse Sect Master empowered the Heavenly Corpse Demon Sect’s Guardian Demon Corpses with a demonic banner and Demon Dissolution Heavenly Corpse Pills to resist Ling Pengyun and the Righteous Path Coalition. The fighting reached a tense stalemate, and the Sect Master, recognizing Ling Pengyun’s treasures, decided there was no choice but to take another step.

• The Heavenly Corpse Sect Master urged the sect’s demonic cultivators to aid the Guardian Demon Corpses, while they held back and kept their distance from him and the sect’s core region.
• The Heavenly Corpse Sect Master used the Heavenly Corpse Gathering Yin Banner to strengthen the two Guardian Demon Corpses, but the Righteous Path Coalition continued to suppress their fire dragon.
• The Heavenly Corpse Sect Master forced the Guardian Demon Corpses to swallow Quasi Fifth Rank Demon Dissolution Heavenly Corpse Pills, and they temporarily reached Spirit Transformation strength.
• The Guardian Demon Corpses manifested two fire dragons and attacked the Array Soul Flood Dragon, but Ling Pengyun used three treasures to restrain their physical bodies while Old Monk Wu Yuan and the other Righteous Path cultivators strengthened themselves to oppose the fire dragons.
• As the demon corpses’ borrowed strength began to dwindle, the Heavenly Corpse Sect Master recognized Ling Pengyun’s treasures and despaired, concluding that he had to take another step.

The Heavenly Corpse Sect Master consumed millions of demonic cultivators to create a powerful Eight-Headed Demon Corpse and sent it against Ling Pengyun’s coalition. Starry Sunny Grand Elder used a rare Star Sea Seal Talisman and a formation artifact to suppress the Eight-Headed Demon Corpse and bind its ally, leaving the Guardian Demon Corpse trapped and fearing defeat.

• The Heavenly Corpse Sect Master strengthened his Guardian Demon Corpses, then merged eight of his sect’s Demon Corpses into an Eight-Headed Demon Corpse.
• The Eight-Headed Demon Corpse devoured millions of demonic cultivators while the Heavenly Corpse Sect Master turned the sect’s formation against those who resisted it.
• The Eight-Headed Demon Corpse and a Guardian Demon Corpse broke through the coalition’s Defense Light Screen and charged toward Ling Pengyun and his allies.
• Starry Sunny Grand Elder activated a Fifth Rank talisman containing the Star Sea Seal, blasting the Eight-Headed Demon Corpse down.
• Starry Sunny Grand Elder used a Quasi Fifth Rank formation and its Imprisoning Flood Dragon Rope to bind the Guardian Demon Corpse, which feared that the Eight-Headed Demon Corpse would soon be slain.

The Heavenly Corpse Sect Master detonated two powerful demon corpses, but Ling Pengyun and the other Righteous Path leaders used fifth-rank talismans to survive the blast and protect more than a hundred thousand cultivators. As their forces battered the Heavenly Corpse Demon Sect’s weakening defenses, four hidden enemies suddenly ambushed Ling Pengyun and the others, leaving them facing a new crisis with their talismans nearly spent.

• The Heavenly Corpse Sect Master made the Eight-Headed Demon Corpse and a Guardian Demon Corpse self-destruct, shattering their restraints and unleashing a Spirit Transformation-level blast across the battlefield.
• Ling Pengyun raised the Starry Sky Cover talisman, while Old Monk Wu Yuan, White Cloud Old True Lord, and Cold Yin Old Lady Monarch used their fifth-rank talismans to shield the leaders and more than a hundred thousand cultivators.
• The Heavenly Corpse Sect Master ordered the last Guardian Demon Corpse to retreat into the sect, and the Righteous Path Coalition’s attacks began to batter the Sect Protecting Array Formation.
• After the blast subsided, Ling Pengyun and the others retrieved their depleted talismans as the Tiger Emperor Old Ancestor, the Sea Flood Dragon Old Ancestor, the Crimson Buddha Demon Lord, and the Black Flood Dragon Old Ancestor appeared and attacked them.

Star Sea Old Ancestor and the other Righteous Path Spirit Transformation cultivators protected Ling Pengyun’s forces and battled the demon cultivators. Black Flood Dragon Old Ancestor slipped through the barrier and attacked Ling Pengyun’s group, whose defenses began to fail under his assault.

• Star Sea Old Ancestor raised the Hai Yun Starry Sky Cover to shield Ling Pengyun’s forces as Xu Tian Flame Demon Tiger Emperor and three other demon Spirit Transformation cultivators attacked.
• White Gold Old Dao Lord, Icy Cold Empress Lord, and Supreme Buddha Lord joined the battle, while Ling Pengyun’s group recalled their techniques and prepared defenses.

• Black Flood Dragon Old Ancestor evaded the seal with the Void Treasure Mirror and secretly entered the Hai Yun Starry Sky Cover to attack Ling Pengyun and the other Nascent Soul Completion cultivators.
• Ling Pengyun and the others fought back with their Transformation God Foundation Spirit Treasures and divine abilities, but Black Flood Dragon Old Ancestor vanished through the mirror and rammed their flying vessel, shattering its protective measures.

Star Sea Old Ancestor used a newly revealed Fifth Rank flying sword to turn Black Flood Dragon Old Ancestor’s attack back on him, while Icy Cold Empress Lord helped press the advantage. As the demon and monster cultivators struggled to respond, Crimson Buddha Old Demon summoned Crimson Fire Heavenly Corpse, who became interested in Ling Pengyun’s Five Elements Nascent Soul.

• Star Sea Old Ancestor’s Fifth Rank flying sword blasted Black Flood Dragon Old Ancestor out of the void and, with Icy Cold Empress Lord’s ice attacks, drove him to defend himself with his damaged Black Flood Dragon Shield.
• Crimson Buddha Old Demon recognized the flying sword as Demon Gu Dao Lord’s former treasure and realized that Star Sea Old Ancestor had refined it into a powerful righteous weapon.
• Crimson Buddha Old Demon asked Xu Tian Flame Demon Tiger Emperor to help Black Flood Dragon Old Ancestor, but Xu Tian said he could not leave his fight with Star Sea Old Ancestor and urged Crimson Buddha to summon his sect’s trump card.

• Crimson Buddha Old Demon explained the battlefield crisis and urged Crimson Fire Heavenly Corpse to kill the righteous cultivators, especially Ling Pengyun, whose Five Elements Nascent Soul could help the corpse advance.

The Crimson Flame Heavenly Corpse entered the Spirit Transformation battle and used its Crimson Flame Heavenly Demon Hammer to pressure Star Sea Old Ancestor. Ling Pengyun and Starry Sunny Grand Elder rallied the Righteous Path cultivators to power a combined formation, bringing its flood dragon array soul into the battle against the corpse’s hammer.

• The Crimson Flame Heavenly Corpse used its Spirit Transformation Demon Fire to help the Black Flood Dragon Old Ancestor and blocked Star Sea Old Ancestor’s attacks with its body and hammer.
• Starry Sunny Grand Elder persuaded Ling Pengyun, Old Monk Wu Yuan, White Cloud Old True, Cold Infant Old Lady Lord, and the distant Righteous Path cultivators to channel their spiritual power into his combined formation.
• The combined formation’s flood dragon array soul reached the Spirit Transformation Realm and charged at the Crimson Flame Heavenly Corpse, which sent its hammer to intercept it.
• Ling Pengyun struck the demon hammer with his Greater Five Elements Profound Thunder, blasting it down and weakening its demon power.
• The Crimson Flame Heavenly Corpse sent Crimson Flame Demon Fire to aid its hammer, but Starry Sunny Grand Elder’s flood dragon array soul blocked the flames.

Ling Pengyun weakened the Crimson Flame Heavenly Corpse’s demon hammer and helped the Array Formation Flood Dragon Soul hold off its Demon Phoenix technique. The Crimson Flame Heavenly Corpse then used the Crimson Demon Transformation to break free of Star Sea Old Ancestor’s seal and attack the formation soul, which charged back to protect Star Sea Pavilion’s cultivators.

• Ling Pengyun used Five Elements Profound Thunder to cleanse away nearly thirty percent of the demon hammer’s foundation, then restored his strength with five pills.
• Ling Pengyun’s spirit treasures and spells pinned down and damaged the demon hammer while he joined the Array Formation Flood Dragon Soul in fighting the Demon Phoenix.
• Ling Pengyun’s thunderclouds helped the formation soul contain the Demon Phoenix, stabilizing the battlefield as the Crimson Flame Heavenly Corpse grew furious.
• The Crimson Flame Heavenly Corpse activated the Crimson Demon Transformation with a fifth-rank Crimson Flame Crystal Core, temporarily reaching the Nascent Divinity Middle Stage.
• The strengthened Crimson Flame Heavenly Corpse shattered Star Sea Old Ancestor’s Star Sea Seal and struck the Array Formation Flood Dragon Soul, which charged back to defend Starry Sunny Grand Elder and the other cultivators.

The Crimson Flame Heavenly Corpse and the Demon Phoenix battered Star Sea Old Ancestor’s defenses while Crimson Buddha Old Demon persuaded Black Flood Dragon Old Ancestor to attempt another surprise attack. Black Flood Dragon Old Ancestor breached the barriers and attacked Ling Pengyun and the other Righteous Path cultivators, leaving them in immediate danger.

• Star Sea Old Ancestor ordered Xing Qing to withdraw the weakening Array Formation Flood Dragon Soul behind the defenses, while his Hai Yun Starry Sky Cover and Star Sea Shield held against the enemy.
• The Crimson Flame Heavenly Corpse demanded high-rank Formation Breaking Talismans, but Crimson Buddha Old Demon said the sect had used them all and suggested that Black Flood Dragon Old Ancestor strike through the Void River instead.
• The Crimson Flame Heavenly Corpse promised Black Flood Dragon Old Ancestor a Spirit Transformation Corpse and gave it a strand of Fifth Rank Blazing Fire Source, persuading it to agree to the attack.

• Star Sea Old Ancestor gave Ling Pengyun a chunk of Black Flood Dragon Old Ancestor's flesh and tasked him with leading the Righteous Path assault on the Heavenly Corpse Demon Sect.

After the Righteous Path Coalition forced the major demon cultivators to retreat, Ling Pengyun and his allies rested while keeping the Heavenly Corpse Demon Sect surrounded. Ling Pengyun recovered and tempered his body as Yan Siyi resolved to seek merit in the coming siege, while the Ling Clan struggled with its demon-vein territory and a strange mountain stirred in Crimson Gold Bear territory.

• Ling Pengyun urged the Righteous Path leaders to rest and recover before attacking the Heavenly Corpse Demon Sect, while they kept cultivators posted around it to prevent escape.
• The Heavenly Corpse Sect Master lamented that Crimson Buddha Old Demon had abandoned him, and the remaining demon cultivators inside the sect grew anxious under the Coalition's encirclement.

• A mountain in Crimson Gold Bear territory began shaking and emitting the aura of an extraordinary demon vein while drawing in the surrounding spiritual energy.

The Ling Clan and Star Sea Pavilion purified a Quasi Fifth Rank demonic vein in Crimson Gold Bear territory and prepared to fortify it as a strategic spiritual mountain. The Black Flood Dragon Old Ancestor learned of their move but, wounded and occupied by the war in the Crimson Buddha Realm, chose not to intervene as the Star Yuan Array Formation Master began setting up the mountain’s protection.

• The Star Yuan Array Formation Master finished purifying the Quasi Fifth Rank demonic vein, and Ling Chengxia and Ling Pengxing thanked him on behalf of the Ling Clan.
• The Sea Cloud Sect Master and Ling Clan cultivators guarded the newly formed spiritual mountain while Star Yuan prepared to arrange Star Sea Pavilion’s formation.
• The Crimson Gold Bear Emperor gathered nearby Nascent Soul Demon Lords, who decided to report the occupation to the Black Flood Dragon Old Ancestor.
