Chapter 436 Dividing the forces for mopping up, all three sentry posts are wiped out.

Inside the Chaos Stone Cave, Nightmare spread the troop deployment map on the ground.

"Bone Thorn Outpost, three hundred miles east."

"Demon Skeleton Outpost, four hundred and fifty miles south."

"Bone Blade Outpost, three hundred and eighty miles west."

His finger traced across the map, his voice calm:

"Three outposts, each with forces equivalent to the Black Bone Outpost—one commander at the Early Stage of the Chaos Supreme Realm, and fifty in the Chaos Celestial Venerable Realm."

He looked up at the three core commanders standing solemnly before him—all veteran subordinates who had followed him from the Grandmist, their cultivation already stabilized at the Late Stage of the Cosmic Supreme Realm.

"I will personally go to the Bone Thorn Outpost."

"Zuo Feng will lead the team to the Demon Skeleton Outpost."

"Right Wing will lead the team to the Bone Blade Outpost."

"Take twenty-five people each. We gather here in three days."

"Remember—"

Nightmare's gaze swept over the three:

"Leave no survivors, no surrenders, no captives. After the cleanup, burn the outposts and bring back the resources."

"Yes!" The three responded in unison, their eyes showing no ripples of emotion.

Killing, burning, and plundering resources had long been a routine for them.

**East, Bone Thorn Outpost.**

When Nightmare arrived with twenty-five elites, a grey-white bone formation had already been set up around the outpost—the "Ten Thousand Bones Absolute Kill Array."

Inside the array, the Bone Thorn Outpost commander, "Gu Ji," stood at the formation core, sneering at Nightmare:

"The trash from the Black Bone Outpost really did die... but did you think I, Gu Ji, would be as unprepared as him?"

He formed hand seals, and countless phantoms of bone thorns emerged within the array, shooting toward Nightmare like a rainstorm!

Nightmare didn't even look at those bone thorns; he simply raised his hand and pointed at the northeast corner of the formation core.

"Break."

A wisp of pitch-black Demonic Flame shot out like an arrow, precisely striking the weakest point of the formation core.

"Crack—!"

The formation core shattered, and the entire grand array collapsed instantly!

Gu Ji's expression changed drastically, and he turned to flee!

Nightmare took a step forward and was already behind him, his right hand like a blade, piercing into the center of his back.

"Puchi."

He withdrew his hand, a still-beating heart now in his palm.

Gu Ji looked down at the hole in his chest, opened his mouth, and collapsed silently.

Nightmare crushed the heart and looked behind him: "Clear the area."

The twenty-five elites lunged into the outpost.

Half an incense stick's time later, the Bone Thorn Outpost was transformed into a sea of fire.

---

**South, Demon Skeleton Outpost.**

Just as the twenty-five people led by Zuo Feng approached the outpost, the outpost commander "Gu Jin" rushed out with a roar!

"You want to destroy my outpost? Then let's die together!"

He actually began to burn his Origin directly, his body expanding rapidly and his aura turning violent—he was going to self-detonate!

Zuo Feng's eyes turned cold: "Bind."

The twenty-five people struck simultaneously, and twenty-five Dao Reversal Chains emerged from the Void Realm, wrapping around Gu Jin's limbs, neck, and Dantian like venomous snakes!

"Lock the Origin, seal the soul!"

The chains tightened, and Gu Jin's expanding body was forcibly suppressed back! The burning Origin was forcefully cut off!

"No—!" Gu Jin roared in despair.

Zuo Feng stepped forward and severed his head with a single blade strike.

"Clear the area, burn the outpost."

---

**West, Bone Blade Outpost.**

When Right Wing arrived with his men, the outpost was already half empty—the defenders had received news of the other two outposts being attacked and had actually fled in advance.

"Pursue."

Right Wing uttered only a single word.

The twenty-five people turned into twenty-five streaks of light, scattering in all directions.

The Bone Blade Outpost commander, "Gu Ren," who had fled the furthest, felt a chill on his neck just as he had rushed out a hundred miles.

Looking down, a pitch-black short blade had already pierced in from the back of his neck and come out through his Adam's apple.

He turned back with difficulty and saw Right Wing's cold face.

"Why... pursue... so... far..." he rasped.

Right Wing withdrew the blade:

"The Lord said, leave no survivors."

The corpse fell.

The rest of the fleeing defenders were also hunted down and wiped out within half an hour.

Three days later, Chaos Stone Cave.

The three units assembled on time.

Zuo Feng stepped forward to report: "Lord, the three outposts have been completely annihilated. A total of three commanders at the Early Stage of the Chaos Supreme Realm and one hundred and fifty-three Cultivators in the Chaos Celestial Venerable Realm were killed. We plundered three hundred boxes of chaos origin stones, over two hundred Demon Bone weapons, and various miscellaneous Chaos Materials."

Nightmare nodded and distributed the resources:

"Absorb all the Origin stones."

"For the weapon Materials, use what can be used; if not, melt and recast them."

He walked to the entrance of the grotto and looked into the depths of the wasteland.

On the edge of the Grey Mist Wasteland, the four outposts of the Demon Bone Tribe had all been uprooted.

Within a radius of a thousand miles, there were no longer any eyes or ears of the Demon Bone forces.

" Three days of rest."

Nightmare turned around, the Demonic Flame in his eyes burning calmly:

"Then, we wait for the main force of the Demon Bone Tribe—"

"To deliver themselves to our door."
