Chapter 2527: Chapter 2525: Demon Flame Mountain Range

Kennedi Evans chuckled as she patted Ethan Smith on the shoulder.

She gave him a light kiss on the cheek, and instantly, Ethan felt a terrible killing intention from behind him.

The earlier feeling of being moved to tears disappeared immediately, and Ethan scurried away like a mouse.

He awkwardly approached Emily Taylor, gently taking her hand in an attempt to please her.

Watching the bickering couple, Kennedi couldn’t help but smile.

“Alright, let’s talk business. Although going to Purgatory is voluntary this time, nearly fifty percent of the people plan to go, with the troops amounting to nearly six thousand.”

“That many people?”

Ethan was a bit surprised. Although the higher-ups of the different races were injured,

both the demon clan and the demon race still had formidable power below the top ranks, and given that it’s the Hominini expedition this time, the danger remains relatively high. He didn’t expect so many would voluntarily leave.

“In war, once it begins, it’s a matter of life and death, relentless and unforgiving. Many of those going to fight have had family, friends, or close sect members brutally killed by different races; those still alive will naturally refuse to let it rest, and the same goes for the other races.”

Kennedi shook her head, noting that previous wars often started with a single spark.

As it spread, it gradually became a relentless struggle.

This is the unstoppable tide, and even a Sixth-tier Saint cannot halt this hatred.

Those preparing to leave have already gathered, their faces showing an indifference towards life and death.

Ethan sighed softly as nearly a hundred various Spatial Magic Artifacts lit up, heading towards Sky City.

Near Nexinton Mountain, there are two large teleportation arrays–one at Thunder Courtyard and the other at Sky City.

Ethan had already completely fallen out with Thunder Courtyard; at least Sky City had three great Saints, so there was no fear of treachery.

“Emily, how many people can your Mount Sumeru World accommodate at once now?”

Ethan curiously asked.

“If it’s for a short time, it should hold 1500 people, but for long journeys, 500 is the limit. There’s still a big gap compared to that Knox Carney’s Palace.”

Emily shook her head. Previously, Ethan had the Qingling Tree to absorb spiritual energy.

Now the Qingling Tree is taking root in the Human Guarding Alliance, and if it’s to support long-term cultivation, Emily must further refine the ring’s rules.

“But this ring has greatly aided me. I’ve tried many of my ideas within it, including previous space deductions. If I can find a way to avoid the Heavenly Path’s surveillance, my strength can be greatly enhanced.”

Emily said with some frustration, her boundary-within-boundary ability creating her own world within the Great Thousand World.

And according to Ethan’s observations, this power of rules was a reconstruction of the Path of Space by Emily.

Ethan had previously used his Divine Soul Power to stir the Heavenly Path Sea of Space, but it was weakened by nearly half in the Mount Sumeru World.

That is to say, in the Mount Sumeru World, if Emily could construct a more complete set of laws and extend them outward, she’d be nearly invincible inside it.

It took about five days for them to reach Sky City.

Besides them, countless Magic Weapons shuttled through the sky, all headed for battles in various regions.

The efficiency of the Hominini was truly astonishing, as soon as they learned of the higher-ups of the different races being injured.

The three major Hominini guilds–Heavenly Astral Hall, Dragon Travel Guild, and Dragon Knight Regiment–had issued nearly a hundred thousand bounty tasks, involving not only the Mystic Realm area but also the purchase requests from the Alchemist Association for various spiritual medicines, many of which are located in the Purgatory Depths.

At this moment, the Alchemist Association offered remarkably high rewards, driving countless cultivators into madness.

Whether for profit or for the Hominini cause,

all of Hominini began taking action.

Thus, Ethan and his group weren’t quite conspicuous after navigating the familiar teleportation process.

The Human Guarding Alliance finally got everyone teleported to Lornclould City, where the air was thick with the stench of blood.

Lornclould City was already densely populated with people both inside and outside the city, with many cultivators camping outside as well.

“Sect Master, what do we plan to do next? I want to take the Williams family to do some cleaning; now many Williams cultivators haven’t experienced real combat, and they need to get used to this danger.”

A graceful figure approached, it was Whitney Williams.

She was one of Nicholas Williams’ directly transmitted disciples, now one of the most powerful individuals of the Williams family.

Even the various Supreme Elders of the Williams family regarded her as the Family Head, holding significant sway in the Williams family.

“Let’s act together. According to Moon Pavilion’s intelligence, even if the higher combat power of the different races doesn’t step in, there are still large demon tribe armies roaming nearby. The Williams family mainly follows the Path of Water, but their attack power is somewhat lacking. We should scout the general surroundings first, and if you want to leave then, you can do so.”

Ethan shook his head, refusing.

Whitney slightly frowned as if wanting to say something, but ultimately clasped her fists.

“She seems a bit upset; if she wants to leave, why not let them?”

Emily asked, puzzled.

“If the Williams family encounters large groups of six-winged armies, except for a few, the others may not survive. I promised Obscure Taylor and Quavon Harris to take care of the Williams family members, so it’s unwise to let them just leave.”

Ethan sighed. Although Nicholas Williams had schemed against him, he couldn’t bring himself to hate.

Especially with the departure of the Williams saintess, he felt more of a guilt towards the Williams family.

“Elder Baker, is there a suitable place for us to train around here?”

These days, Elder Baker had been researching the various guilds’ bounty announcements, along with Kennedi’s intelligence.

He should be quite familiar with the area now, as he stroked his beard:

“The current passages between Purgatory and the Demon Territory are connected, and there’s a channel at the Sixth-layer Purgatory leading to a Demon Flame Mountain Range in the Demon Territory, which emits scorching Demonic Flames year-round, inhabited by Flame Demons and Flame Demon Beasts. It’s extremely dangerous. However, the Williams family’s Skill Technique happens to restrain these Demon Beasts, making it a relatively suitable place.”

“Alright, then let’s head to this area.”

Ethan no longer hesitated, as he was there to train the cultivators of the Human Guarding Alliance, and also to study the Power of Star-Moon Synchronous Brightness.

After witnessing Yalric Whitehead’s joint strike with the Eight-winged Demon Clan Army, applying this power to the Hominini would undoubtedly be a tremendous force addition.
