The spatial channel had collapsed, and Yu Qi was teetering on the brink of his own collapse.
Hovering near the disintegrated spatial channel, he watched as terrifying bursts of spatial energy erupted. A sky filled with scattered flesh and blood lay before him, rendering him numb.
A momentary daze overcame him before a glint of realization flashed across his eyes. 'Could we have fallen into a trap?'
'Jiang Chen must have stronger allies. He merely initiated an attack to compel us into deploying our forces. As soon as we did, his hidden ally revealed himself and shattered the spatial channel!'
'Alternatively, Jiang Chen's combat prowess might not be as straightforward as he led us to believe. His true abilities could be veiled; he could be behind both the initial and the subsequent attacks!'
'I have no inkling what Bo Luncang is planning; this can't fall on my shoulders.' With this thought, Yu Qi quickly transmitted the critical updates about the unfolding events in the Myriad Demons Continent to his higher-ups.
He then remained stationary, awaiting further instructions in the same location.
...
Meanwhile, far from the spatial channel in the Vibrant Blaze Domain of the Immortal Martial Continent, Jiang Chen hovered in the air.
His gaze fell on the turbulent spatial channel, which resembled a black thunderball. A cold smile tugged at the corner of his mouth. "Heh heh! Another large batch of the demon legion has been eradicated!"
At that instant, numerous spatial fissures began to mend swiftly, thanks to the universe's innate ability to self-repair.
The spatial channel shrank rapidly, leaving behind only a minuscule black dot in a blink—an easily accessible spatial node.
Since the spatial channel had previously been established here, its fabric remained delicate even after its self-repair. Consequently, this node now served as a gateway that could more readily facilitate the opening of another spatial channel.
'Wordless Heavenly Jade, Death Calamity Dark Star Moon Dao Embryo!' Jiang Chen approached the spatial node as a wave of gravitational force erupted from him.
Instantly, the surrounding fragmented corpses transformed into a mist of blood and pinpricks of light, all of which he absorbed.
This time, the spatial channel was significantly larger. Jiang Chen deliberately delayed the rate at which he destroyed it, allowing for some of the fallen demonic beings to be successfully transported to the Immortal Martial Continent.
Though it was just a fraction of the demon army, its sheer size meant that this portion equaled the qi and blood, as well as the cultivation base, of an army at least a hundred thousand strong.
In simpler terms, from the remains that were transported through the spatial channel, Jiang Chen harvested at least the partial qi and blood as well as the cultivation base of ten Late-stage Transcendence realm demons.
Additionally, there was a considerable number of demons and demonic beasts belonging to the Dao Palace realm, Dao Comprehension realm, and Inquiring Journey realm.
Moreover, the five Late-stage Transcendence realm demons who had been assigned to guard the spatial channel were also entirely wiped out by him.
'Hehe.' A satisfied smile graced Jiang Chen's face. 'Indeed, a bountiful harvest.'
'Combined with the qi and blood energy I previously gathered in the Western Ice Domain, the Wordless Heavenly Jade now has sufficient energy for me to practice a Nirvana Peering cultivation method.'
'I've also amassed a substantial amount of cultivation base. Just a bit more, and I'll advance to the Nirvana Peering realm.'
'The gap between the Transcendence realm and the Nirvana Peering realm is indeed significant, rightfully representing the Third Step on the Cultivation Path.'
Without delay, he activated the spatial channel, making his way back to the Western Ice Domain.
Having completed his plan, it was only natural for him to wish to return to Mo Hao's side swiftly to avert any unforeseen incidents.
Thanks to Ying Luo, Jiang Chen had no trouble pinpointing Mo Hao's current whereabouts.
Therefore, he executed a precise teleportation to a location near Mo Hao—close enough for convenience but far enough to avoid detection by Mo Hao's divine sense.
...
Meanwhile, Bo Luncang had already penetrated the Pure Frost Domain. En route, he seized multiple cultivators from the Prosperous Stone Immortal Star for questioning. Armed with information on Sun Tianlin and his forces, he blazed forward, leaving a trail of destruction in his wake!
He made absolutely no attempt to mask either his movements or his aura, conducting himself with the arrogance befitting a demon king heralding the end of the world. His haughtiness wasn't just directed at people; if he encountered a mountain he deemed excessively tall, he would obliterate it outright.
All of a sudden, his expression underwent a dramatic shift.
He had lost contact with the ten core subordinates responsible for guarding the spatial channel!
"How can this be!" Bo Luncang roared, his voice tinged with disbelief and fury. "Those were ten Late-stage Transcendence realm powerhouses!"
"I thought Jiang Chen killed just five and then escaped! How could the remaining five also meet their end!"
"The spatial channel, oh no, the spatial channel!" A wave of sheer horror washed over him, his eyes widening in disbelief as he hurriedly tried to reach his remaining subordinates.
Yet, none of the trusted aides he'd stationed in the Vibrant Blaze Domain responded. It was apparent they had all been annihilated.
"No! How could all my trusted aides have perished? Even if they had scattered to escape, some should've managed to get away." Bloodshot veins marred Bo Luncang's eyes as he hastily reached out to other subordinates to check the current state of the spatial channel.
The demonic forces were undeniably numerous.
Since Jiang Chen was pressed for time, needing to keep an eye on Mo Hao, he had only targeted Bo Luncang's closest aides, leaving the others unharmed.
As a result, Bo Luncang swiftly received an update regarding the current status of the spatial channel.
Upon hearing the news, Bo Luncang's vision swayed and he nearly passed out.
"It's collapsed! The spatial channel has actually collapsed again!"
"Moreover, it looks like a significant number of our demon legions have been annihilated within that channel!"
"Damn it, how could this be!"
He had already endured the soul-crushing loss of a million-strong army in a collapsed spatial channel once before.
And now, history had cruelly repeated itself!
Bo Luncang felt a surge of nausea, as if he were on the verge of spitting blood. He was at a complete loss for how to explain this devastating turn of events to His Excellency, the Demon Lord!
'Why! Why did this happen!' Bo Luncang internally roared, his mind ablaze with disbelief. 'The Immortal Martial Continent is ostensibly so weak; how can mishaps keep taking place?'
'Just how formidable is that damned Jiang Chen!?' His entire body quaked, and he ground his teeth so fiercely that his gums were on the brink of bleeding.
It took considerable time for him to regain his composure.
'The only course of action left to me is to redeem myself through merits!' Bo Luncang thought, his resolve firming up with a newfound determination.
'If I can just obliterate the Prosperous Stone Immortal Star cultivator legion and conquer the Immortal Martial Continent, I'll escape the death penalty!'
'Yes, there's also the True Dragon—capturing it alive would be an incredible achievement!'
His eyes danced with a manic gleam, his heart now awash in a turbulent sea of madness and bloodlust. 'Curse you, Jiang Chen, damn you, Prosperous Stone Immortal Star, kill, kill, kill!'
The very next moment, he sent out commands to his underlings: all forces near the Western Ice Domain were to encircle the True Dragon and capture it alive.
Almost instantly, Bo Luncang lunged forward like a man possessed, directing his onslaught toward any cultivators he could detect through his divine sense.
At this juncture, all he yearned for was an outlet for the pent-up rage and frustration festering within him.
As for clashing with the leader of the human cultivator legion? That no longer concerned Bo Luncang.
Reinforcements were clearly not arriving any time soon, so there was scant reason to hold back.
Furthermore, if he slew enough people, would the commander of the human cultivator legion simply stand by?
They would surely be compelled to intervene!
Hence, Bo Luncang resolved to first indulge in a killing spree to satisfy his bloodlust.
With his combat prowess at the Nirvana Peering realm level, decimating a few scout squads from the cultivator legions was child's play.
He showed no mercy, slaying without regard for the strength or weakness of his victims.
In an astonishingly brief span, tens of thousands of cultivators met their end at the hands of Bo Luncang.
This act swiftly caught the notice of higher-ranking figures in the cultivator legions, including Sun Tianlin.
"What? A Nirvana Peering realm powerhouse from the demon race is recklessly slaying our cultivators?" Sun Tianlin thundered, his eyes ablaze with fury. "How dare he act so insolently under my watch! He obviously doesn't consider me a threat!"
"Issue the command for all cultivator squads to fall back. I, Sun Tianlin, will personally put an end to that arrogant demon!" Already livid due to his inability to locate his child's killer, his rage now escalated, seething from every pore. With a few sharp words, he promptly sped off toward Bo Luncang's location.
