🕑 Added 2023-09-21 15:46:40 +0000 UTC
An army of a million demons was already sufficient to go head-to-head with the cultivator army of the Prosperous Stone Immortal Star.
The cultivator army from the Prosperous Stone Immortal Star was also diligently gathering intelligence on these demons. The latter were making no attempt to hide their movements, simplifying the task of determining their location.
At this juncture, the battle between Bo Luncang and Sun Tianlin had moved to a remote area.
The demon army and the cultivator army of the Prosperous Stone Immortal Star were now at completely distinct locations, separated by a considerable distance.
"Hahaha! Grandson, you wished for a battle with your grandpa, didn't you? Your wish is granted!" Bo Luncang roared with laughter, no longer retreating. Clutching his meteor hammer immortal tool, he spun around to unleash a fearsome attack.
Equally prepared, Sun Tianlin brandished his long-handled, thin-bladed knife. It was enveloped in an incomparably terrifying force as it collided with Bo Luncang's weapon.
"Boom!" A cataclysmic explosion resonated, sending visible shockwaves sweeping across heaven and earth. The clouds extending for hundreds of thousands of miles dissipated, revealing an endless expanse of barren wasteland.
At the same time, orders were issued from both sides to mobilize their respective armies.
Without hesitation, the two armies marched towards each other!
In an instant, over two million troops from both sides met on an icy plain. They came to an instinctive halt, facing off against each other.
The two formidable armies filled the sky, blocking out the sun; their combined might as resplendent as a rainbow!
Jiang Chen observed all of this with crystal clarity.
'The two armies are on the verge of war; now is my chance,' Jiang Chen thought, a sly grin forming on his lips. With a wave of his hand, he opened a spatial channel.
Immediately following that, Ying Luo and Mo Hao emerged one after another from the spatial channel.
"Is the battle about to commence?" Mo Hao's face remained composed, but his eyes sparkled with palpable excitement and anticipation.
Hope radiated brightly within his heart.
"It's on the brink of starting. The commanders of the two armies are preoccupied with their own duel, far away. They won't be able to intervene here anytime soon," Jiang Chen explained.
"Which means we can engage freely, without the immediate threat of a Nirvana Peering realm great powerhouse annihilating us."
"First, let's locate the cultivator army of the Prosperous Stone Immortal Star!"
"And Daoist friend True Dragon, keep your identity concealed for now." After issuing these directives, Jiang Chen led Mo Hao and Ying Luo, flying toward the north.
Before long, the faceoff between the cultivator army of the Prosperous Stone Immortal Star and the demon army entered Mo Hao's divine sense.
"Two million troops! Ha, hahaha, it truly is two million troops!" Mo Hao exclaimed, his heart pounding erratically, akin to the rapid beats of a drum.
Such a plethora of targets for grandiose acts. If he successfully executed his flashy maneuvers, the Pretentious Points he could amass would certainly propel him into the Nirvana Peering realm.
Upon achieving that, he could enter the fray between Bo Luncang and Sun Tianlin. He could perform even more grandiose feats, grow stronger, and from that point on, his ascent would be unstoppable!
At that moment, both the cultivator army of the Prosperous Stone Immortal Star and the demon army took notice of Jiang Chen and Mo Hao.
Ying Luo, on the other hand, remained concealed, undetectable by those in the Transcendence realm.
Upon spotting the duo, one cultivator voiced his surprise, "Transcendence realm powerhouses from our human race!"
"Who's that? Is it one of the Transcendence realm cultivators who descended earlier? And they've survived until now?"
"And isn't that Mo Hao, the dandy of the Mo Clan? He's still alive!"
"What, Mo Hao? With so many people out to get him, he's not dead yet? He must be as resilient as a cat with nine lives!"
"Ugh, that guy once slandered the women in my extended family. How audacious! He's still alive? Did he turn to the dark side?"
"Everyone, regain your focus. We're at a critical point in our battle against the demons. Every additional warrior counts."
"To hell with counting! I disagree with letting them join! What's the use of two more Transcendence realm combatants? Two more won't make a difference; two fewer won't either!"
The Transcendence realm cultivators within the army erupted into heated discussion.
The majority were on high alert, harboring deep mistrust towards Jiang Chen and Mo Hao.
This was particularly true for the vice commander of the cultivator army, a Peak-stage Transcendence realm powerhouse named Sun Liu.
"Exactly," Sun Liu declared coldly. "They could very well be demonic spies."
"We can't allow them to join our ranks so casually. If they betray us, the consequences would be dire!" With a swing of his hand, he unleashed a potent fire attack.
Boom!
The fire, taking the form of a roaring dragon, surged toward a location near Jiang Chen and Mo Hao before erupting in a violent explosion.
"What's the meaning of this, Daoist friend? We've traveled a great distance to aid you, and this is your welcome?" Jiang Chen said, his expression stern.
Jiang Chen had already foreseen this situation.
Mo Hao sought to make a grand spectacle, and the ideal way to accomplish that was to position everyone against him.
Both foes and friends harbored the desire to eliminate him.
Next would come a grandiose display of pretentious feats, effectively silencing all doubters. Those who had previously been skeptical would subsequently be filled with regret, view him in a new light, and perhaps even come to admire him.
Therefore, under the sway of Heavenly Fate, doubts concerning them were amplified to an extreme level within the minds of the cultivator army.
Of the million individuals present, a staggering ninety-nine percent held them in mistrust!
"Get lost!" Sun Liu shouted, not even bothering to interrogate Jiang Chen and Mo Hao.
"Leave, now!" another voice added, "Who doesn't suspect that you're agents of the demons!"
"The idea that two Transcendence realm cultivators could survive this long on the Immortal Martial Continent, a place teeming with demons—it's unbelievable that you're not in league with them!"
"Mo Hao, you villain! You were a bully back on the Prosperous Stone Immortal Star, perpetrating all sorts of wrongdoings. Now you've come here, acting as a spy for the demons with the intent to harm us. You won't be tolerated!"
The remaining Transcendence realm cultivators also expressed their indignation and contempt, some even exuding palpable killing intent.
"Hmph! No trust, you say? Just wait. You'll all be kneeling to apologize to me!" Mo Hao coldly snorted, unfazed by the hostility, and began to turn away.
"Sigh. I am the Lord of the Immortal Martial Continent, having battled hard just to survive this long, and still, you all harbor mistrust..." Jiang Chen shook his head, sighed, and also started to turn away.
"The Lord of the Immortal Martial Continent? That's laughable. We're the true lords here! Leave!" Sun Liu regarded Jiang Chen with undisguised contempt.
Meanwhile, the Transcendence realm demons within the demon army erupted into laughter.
One of them chortled gleefully, "So those two were your reinforcements from the Prosperous Stone Immortal Star, and you've actually driven them away? This is too funny!"
"Exactly, you're demoralizing your own troops by doing this!"
"Hahaha, you better welcome those two quickly. Don't push them to actually join our side."
The other demons chimed in, engaging in boisterous discussion.
Yet, the more the demons made such remarks, the deeper Sun Liu and the others' suspicions grew concerning Jiang Chen and Mo Hao. They became even less inclined to welcome them.
Meanwhile, Jiang Chen and Mo Hao moved to a nearby spot, floating high above, observing the two massive armies below.
"Heh heh. Mo Hao, they really don't trust us and have turned us away." A sly smile tugged at Jiang Chen's lips. "This presents us with the perfect chance to prove them wrong. We can't let it slip away!"
"Enough talk." Mo Hao coldly snorted, his eyes shining brightly, evidently primed for action.
