Slash!
Caught off guard, three Late-stage Transcendence realm demons were instantly bisected into six pieces. Their blood spattered across the sky, filling the air with a foul stench.
"How is this possible!" shouted one demon, incredulity lacing his voice.
"To kill three Late-stage Transcendence realm demons with a single sword strike— who the hell is he?"
"We can't afford to be scattered any longer. Keep him restrained and contact Lord Bo Luncang to claim his head!"
Nearly dropping their jaws in disbelief, the remaining six Transcendence realm demons were aghast.
However, their reaction was swift. Once more, they rushed toward Jiang Chen, encircling him again.
The intense battle raged on!
...
Meanwhile, news of the situation finally reached Bo Luncang.
Staring at the message in the transmission jade token, Bo Luncang's eyes filled with rage. "What? The Immortal Martial Lord, Jiang Chen, has attacked the ten guardians of the spatial channel and has already killed four of them?"
"How can a mere Jiang Chen dominate ten people and even kill four? What cultivation base is he at, and what is he relying on?"
"Furthermore, wasn't Jiang Chen supposed to be in the eastern part of the Pure Frost Domain? He had just annihilated my army of 60,000 not long ago! How could he suddenly appear in the Vibrant Blaze Domain?"
"Could a hidden teleportation array exist that my demon army has yet to discover?" he pondered aloud, suspicion creeping into his tone.
However, he had already crossed the Everflowing Truth Domain and arrived within the territory of the Pure Frost Domain.
Moreover, he had already discovered the scattered cultivators of the Prosperous Stone Immortal Star's human legion.
"No," Bo Luncang mused, his tone edged with concern. "The Prosperous Stone Immortal Star's cultivator legion is already launching campaigns in all directions."
"If I don't put a stop to them, the fragmented demon army will be picked off one by one, spelling doom for us all."
"It seems I have no choice but to press on. As for the spatial channel, I'll need to call for reinforcements from the Myriad Demons Continent and have them send more troops!"
"Anyway, I can't single-handedly decimate the Prosperous Stone Immortal Star's cultivator legion. Reinforcements are inevitable, so better to call for them now." With this thought, he promptly issued orders to his trusted aides, instructing them to head back to the Myriad Demons Continent for reinforcements.
...
Instantly, on the outskirts of the ongoing battle in the Vibrant Blaze Domain, a lavishly dressed demon shot Jiang Chen a disdainful glance, as if looking at a corpse, before diving into the spatial channel.
This demon was one of Bo Luncang's trusted aides.
Yet, unknown to them all, they were walking right into Jiang Chen's carefully laid trap.
'Heh heh,' Jiang Chen sneered internally. 'They've swallowed the bait, hook, line, and sinker.'
'Now's my chance to make a temporary retreat.' He then feigned activating a secret art, spewing blood as his aura surged dramatically.
"Not good!" one demon exclaimed, panic filling his voice. "He's going all out!"
"Damn it, he's this strong? He's already reached Half-step Nirvana Peering realm!"
"Even if it costs us our lives, we must defend this spatial channel, or we'll be doomed!"
Horrified, the pupils of the six Late-stage Transcendence realm demons contracted as they steeled themselves, willing to risk their lives to guard the spatial channel.
The next moment, Jiang Chen shouted resolutely, "Death Attraction Nine Tribulations Sword Technique!" With a fierce slash of his right hand, six streams of sword Qi burst forth, each resembling a sentient being, aiming for the six demons simultaneously.
"Block it!" cried the Transcendence realm demons, deploying their strongest defenses in rapid succession.
However, the six potent streams of sword Qi took an unexpected turn, merging into a single, devastating blast that hammered into one of the Transcendence realm demons.
Boom!
The demon shattered instantaneously, splintering into countless fragments that turned into a sky full of dismembered parts. These then coalesced into a thick mist of blood before vanishing completely.
Witnessing this, a shiver ran down the spines of the remaining five Transcendence realm demons, filling them with a dread so palpable they feared they might be the next to fall.
However, at that moment, Jiang Chen's eyes widened with fury. Spitting out blood, he hurled venomous threats. "You demon scum, I won't leave."
"I swear, if I abandon the spatial channel, I won't be a man."
"Let's see how long you can last!" With that, he vanished from his spot.
"He's gone!" a demon cried out in disbelief.
"Yes, he has disappeared; he's nowhere to be found!"
"But the look in his eyes was resolute; he was definitely not bluffing!"
"Despite being seriously injured, this Jiang Chen's combat power is staggering. He's killed five of us, facing ten to begin with. If he recuperates, there's no way the five of us can hold him off!"
"Quick, request reinforcements! Signal the Myriad Demons Continent to send support immediately!"
Frozen with fear, the faces of the remaining five Transcendence realm demons turned ashen. Each one was taut with tension, as if they were already teetering on the edge of death's doorway.
In just a few moments, they reached a unanimous decision: immediate reinforcements were a must. Otherwise, they'd face certain death, leaving the spatial channel indefensible.
The remaining five Transcendence realm demons stood guard around the spatial channel, nervously yet cautiously, taking the time to recuperate but remaining alert.
One of the demons, entrusted with the critical task of relaying the call for reinforcements, plunged into the spatial channel.
Unbeknownst to them, Jiang Chen was watching from the shadows.
"Hehe," Jiang Chen chuckled softly, a sly smile forming at the corner of his mouth. "They've all truly taken the bait!"
"Next, I'll wait for the demon army to enter the spatial channel. Keep a close watch, Wan'er and Ning'er," he instructed.
"Don't worry," Nangong Wan assured, brimming with confidence. "My divine sense is trained on it. I won't miss a single spatial fluctuation."
"I'll be your backup then," Shangguan Ning chimed in, grinning.
...
Meanwhile, back in the Myriad Demons Continent, another Nirvana Peering realm demon named Yu Qi had assumed complete control in Bo Luncang's absence.
Upon receiving the urgent message relayed by Bo Luncang's messenger, Yu Qi immediately recognized its importance.
The link between the Myriad Demons Continent and the Vibrant Blaze Domain in the Immortal Martial Continent had been extremely costly to establish. Any mishap was absolutely unacceptable!
It was then that Yu Qi initiated the process to mobilize his forces, preparing them for deployment to the Immortal Martial Continent.
As he was setting things in motion, even more pressing information landed in his hands.
Upon scanning the new information, Yu Qi recognized there was no time for meticulous planning or the slow gathering of troops.
"Issue the command!"
"Deploy a million-strong army to reinforce the Immortal Martial Continent! All Late-stage Transcendence realm demons, proceed at once!"
Yu Qi's potent divine sense swept across the entire demon encampment.
His commands directly resonated in the ears of every demon present.
Almost instantaneously, a formidable army of a million demons, spearheaded by at least thirty Late-stage Transcendence realm warriors, surged into the spatial channel.
However, in the next instant, the spatial channel experienced a catastrophic transformation.
Terrifying spatial fluctuations reverberated wildly, shattering the earth around it!
Even pieces of limbs were violently ejected from the spatial channel!
The once-stable spatial channel had effectively morphed into a deadly snare!
"What! How could the spatial channel deteriorate so abruptly! My million-strong army!" Yu Qi's eyes widened in disbelief, the veins in them rapidly turning bloodshot, as he struggled to trust what his own divine sense was telling him.
In Yu Qi's calculation, the five remaining Transcendence realm demons on the other side of the spatial channel should have been capable of holding Jiang Chen at bay for a minimum of a hundred breaths.
Additionally, given Jiang Chen's severe injuries, he would require time to recuperate before mounting another assault.
That should have provided a window of opportunity!
Within that window, his legion of a million should have successfully made it to the Immortal Martial Continent.
Yet how could it be that the instant his troops stepped into the channel, it imploded?
The disintegration of the spatial channel signified the total loss of his million-strong army. It was an utter calamity, and Yu Qi felt as though he was falling into a recurring cycle of the same grave mistake!
