"A mirror!" Jiang Chen's eyes flashed with a glimmer of realization as he looked at the illusory mirror suspended in the sky and the dense army of demons.
"It's the Myriad Demons Sky Piercing Mirror," Nangong Wan's calm voice explained. "Once activated, it can teleport a large number of people to random locations within a certain range. Only those who have attained the rank of Demon Lord in the demon race would possess such an item."
"Typically, only experts in the Void Tribulation realm ascend to the rank of Demon Lord," Shangguan Ning added. "It appears that the adversary confronting the Profound Jade Immortal Domain is considerably formidable."
"A treasure for random teleportation, huh?" Jiang Chen narrowed his eyes, pulling out a transmission jade token. He immediately noticed that information was continuously streaming into it.
Soon after, he retrieved a soul seed magatama, from which frantic and fearful thoughts started to radiate.
Jiang Chen already knew, without even looking, that the demon race had now dispersed across the entire Immortal Martial Continent.
"Damn it," Jiang Chen muttered urgently, "the demon race's attack is incredibly fierce!"
"Thankfully, I had already opened the passage to the Immortal Martial Cave Heaven, enabling the beings of the Immortal Martial Continent to retreat there as quickly as possible," he said, releasing a soft sigh.
Though aware that some hadn't had time to escape, he knew this was already the best possible outcome.
After all, no one had anticipated that the demon race's army would employ a treasure belonging to a Void Tribulation realm Demon Lord this time.
'The demon race's army boasts over a hundred Transcendence realm great powerhouses,' Jiang Chen mused internally. 'And beyond that, even more exist in the Dao Palace realm and Dao Comprehension realm.'
'In the absence of me, the strength of the Immortal Martial Continent would be woefully inadequate.'
'With our current power, we can only manage to repel some minor lackeys.' Deciding on a course of action, he opted to temporarily restrain the cultivators in the Immortal Martial Cave Heaven from going out to confront the enemy.
His gaze instantly shifted to Mo Hao.
The demon race unquestionably needed to be eradicated.
Arrayed before him was a sizable assembly of demon race members, which included six Transcendence realm combatants and dozens in the Dao Palace realm.
This group would surely be swayed by Heavenly Fate, acting as both the audience for Mo Hao's ostentatious performance and stepping stones.
Sweeping his gaze with the Villain's Eye, Jiang Chen ascertained that the Fate Value of these demon race members was absurdly low; they had indeed been relegated to supporting characters.
If Mo Hao planned to grandstand, then intervention from him would be an absolute necessity.
At that moment, not far away, Mo Hao was internally stunned. 'What the hell is going on?'
'So many demon race powerhouses have emerged!'
'This is an entire demon race legion. Jiang Chen wasn't lying; the demon race has indeed invaded the Immortal Martial Continent!'
'Damn, this is actually a boon for me!'
'I've found no worthy targets to grandstand against on the Immortal Martial Continent. I've encountered only cultivators below the Inquiring Journey realm along the way. Despite my ostentatious actions, I've merely accrued a few Pretentious Points.'
'Now that these demon race members are here, I can simultaneously exorcise demons and gain strength through pretentious acts. It's like hitting two birds with one stone!'
'Enough talk; it's time to grandstand!' A wild expression of joy crossed his face as he swiftly flew toward a large city ahead.
The city in question was Red Maple City, where very few people still resided within its walls.
Most had already migrated to the Immortal Martial Cave Heaven.
Those who remained were primarily those unwilling to abandon their ancestral lands, preferring to face death here if need be.
Yet, due to the city's significant population, even if just one percent chose to stay, a considerable number of cultivators would still be present.
Now, as the demon race army emerged from the illusory Myriad Demons Sky Piercing Mirror overhead, a sense of dread filled the remaining cultivators in Red Maple City!
"It's the demon race!" someone yelled, filled with sheer horror.
"The demon race has invaded the Immortal Martial Continent!"
"My God, there are so many of them, and they're incredibly powerful. A single glance almost makes me faint. We're finished; Red Maple City is finished!"
"Why, heavens, why have so many from the demon race suddenly appeared near us?"
"I regret not seizing the chance to enter the Immortal Martial Cave Heaven when the Immortal Martial Lord urged us to relocate. I was too attached to my possessions."
One after another, the cultivators in Red Maple City cried out in terror, their faces contorted and eyes awash with despair.
Filled with regret, some cultivators who had initially been reluctant to leave now wished they could turn back the clock.
"That's it, despair!" Mo Hao triumphantly muttered to himself. "The more you despair now, the more amazed and ecstatic you'll be later!"
"Hehehehe," he chuckled softly as he discreetly infiltrated Red Maple City, an eager smile unfurling across his face.
Eyeing the demon race dispersed across the sky, he resembled a starving man who had just spotted a bevy of uncovered beauties.
Unbeknownst to him, his lifelong nemesis, Jiang Chen, had also stealthily entered Red Maple City and was currently assessing the entire situation.
Just then, "Whoosh!" A colossal formation barrier erupted from the ground, encasing the entirety of Red Maple City.
Shortly thereafter, an elderly man soared up from within the city. Wearing an expression that struggled for composure yet still bore a hint of fear, he declared, "Fellow cultivators of Red Maple City, we are under attack by the demon race. We've missed our best opportunity for escape. Our only option now is to resist them as much as we can while awaiting rescue!"
"Believe me, the lord of the Immortal Martial Continent, Lord Jiang Chen, will not forsake us!" His face gradually settled into a calmer expression as he spoke with resolute confidence.
The aura of despair within Red Maple City lifted ever so slightly at the elder's words, but the impact was marginal.
Given their limited strength, how could they possibly endure until Lord Jiang Chen arrived to assist them?
The demon race had already dispersed across the sky, and Red Maple City wasn't the only city under siege. Who could guarantee that Lord Jiang Chen would prioritize their rescue?
This notion of perseverance was essentially a form of self-deception.
Yet, at this moment, self-deception was all they had left. What alternative did they have—simply lie down and await their doom?
Just at that moment, a demon race troop zeroed in on Red Maple City.
Led by a Middle-stage Transcendence realm demon, tens of thousands of demon race elites soared toward Red Maple City.
"They're coming!" someone cried out, his voice tinged with dread.
"The demon race is here!"
"Everyone, brace yourselves for the end!"
"Ahahaha, I've got guts too, you damn demons, bring it on!"
Amid the anxious crowd, a handful of cultivators stepped forward, shouting their defiance at the demon race, whether truly fearless or simply feigning bravery.
"Hehehehe," a demon cackled, his voice laden with malicious delight.
"Human ants, you're all destined to be our feast!"
"Hmph, I have a particular fondness for human women—so delicate, haha!"
Arriving one by one, members of the demon race positioned themselves outside Red Maple City's defensive formation. They peered at the cultivators within the city, their expressions contorted by either sadistic glee or lascivious intent.
Even before the demon race commenced their assault, their overpowering aura caused the protective formation around Red Maple City to quiver, resembling a soap bubble trembling in the wind, on the verge of bursting.
Instantaneously, the sense of despair within the city's cultivators intensified. Most of those who had defiantly stood up were now visibly shaking, consumed by their own fear.
Just then, piercing the deathly silence of Red Maple City, a burst of manic laughter erupted. "Hahahaha!"
"Little brats of the demon race!"
"This young master has been lying in wait for you for ages! Hand over your lives!"
"A bunch of trash like you? I alone can handle you all!" The voice radiated immense power and unshakable confidence.
