Lin Chen raced desperately, using Advanced Qiankun Escape Talismans repeatedly for frequent teleportation, significantly shortening his journey.
However, he had wasted some time breaking through his cultivation midway, so from the time he departed Cloud Sky City until he reached the Luoyun Mountain Range, it took a total of five days.
By now, the battle within the Luoyun Mountain Range had become extremely fierce.
Death qi permeated the sky, and the concentrated light from the human army constantly bombarded it, creating huge waves of energy in the sky.
Despite the full force of the human warriors’ attack, they could never hold back the fierce onslaught of the death qi, which slammed into the ground, creating countless large craters.
The human army was in constant retreat, while the numbers of the Dark Demon Race army kept growing, now surpassing one million.
When the Dark Demon Race first descended, they engaged in battle with the human race, but most of their power was used to maintain the black pillars, as if they were setting up some sort of Great Formation.
Only a minority of their force was used for attacking.
Initially, the human race had the upper hand, but as the various factions acted independently and were unwilling to join forces, the number of the Dark Demon Race warriors surged, far exceeding that of the human race.
Although the human warriors had a higher cultivation than the Dark Demon Race, the death qi of the Dark Demon Race warriors posed a great suppression to the human warriors.
Red Soul Hall had been watching indifferently, not lending a hand to help.
Now, with the Dark Demon Race warriors numbering over a million, they began to actively attack the human race.
Many forces finally joined together to resist, but it was already too late, and even combined, they struggled against the Dark Demon Race.
Many forces had sent messages to their sects asking for reinforcements, but the sects had replied that they must stop the spread of the Dark Demon Race, otherwise, the Eastern Domain would fall into chaos.
The people had no choice but to resist desperately, but obviously, they were no match for the Dark Demon Race.
With the help of Lin Chen’s Divine Soul Puppet, Formation Sect was temporarily able to compete with the Dark Demon Race.
Although Spirit Sword Sect suffered heavy casualties, they also killed many of the Dark Demon Race warriors, making them one of the sects that contributed the most effort.
If not for Spirit Sword Sect and Formation Sect’s support, the other sects would have probably already been breached by the Dark Demon Race, their forces decimated.
"This death qi is too strong; it’s impossible to fight!"
After clashing with the Dark Demon Race warriors, Sha Jin was shocked by the powerful death qi and could only watch helplessly as several elders from Bodhi Hall were killed before his eyes, their bodies turning into puppets.
Facing the onslaught of the Dark Demon Race army, Sha Jin was powerless to resist and turned to flee for his life.
Seeing the lead elder behave , the others from Bodhi Hall also scattered and fled.
"A bunch of cowards, so afraid of death!"
Mu Qianqiu from Formation Sect and other factions deeply despised and cursed Bodhi Hall for their actions.
Once Sha Jin led the army to flee, the Dark Demon Race warriors breached the defenses through the gap, which was undoubtedly a nightmare for the other powers.
"We absolutely cannot let them through!"
Mu Qianqiu, holding a Demon-Suppressing Talisman and fearless of death qi, gritted his teeth and charged into battle to stop the Dark Demon Race.
Although these Dark Demon Race warriors were aggressive, their black pillars had not yet been erected, unable to unleash their full power, thus posing no threat to Mu Qianqiu and the others. Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by NovelHub(.)net
Among these Dark Demon Race warriors, the strongest were only at the Fifth Layer of the Heavenly Human Realm.
At this moment, the six factions finally realized their situation, with none fleeing anymore, fighting to the death. Despite the powerful death qi of the Dark Demon Race, they were resolved to die rather than retreat.
"If they had this realization sooner, how could the Dark Demon Race have broken through the defenses!"
Mu Qianqiu sighed, but it was too late for regrets.
Even though the various factions fought to the death and temporarily held back the Dark Demon Race, the casualties were severe, with many human and demon race warriors being eroded by the death qi and turning into skeletons.
Even Formation Sect lost warriors in the battle. Although the Demon-Suppressing Talismans and Killing Formations significantly reduced the casualties, the overwhelming number of Dark Demon Race warriors made the situation unsustainable.
When the Dark Demon Race warriors noticed the strength of Formation Sect, they began to concentrate their forces to attack.
"Damn it, these Dark Demon Race have set their sights on us."
After Mu Qianqiu cut down more than a dozen Dark Demon Race warriors and saw more and more of them coming towards them, he cursed inwardly.
Lin Chen’s Divine Soul Puppet, acting as a crucial combat force, battled with the Dark Demon Race, and even though the Divine Soul Puppet was unaffected by death qi, its cultivation of the First Layer of the Heavenly Human Realm was far inferior to Lin Chen’s own.
After several collisions, the puppet’s body showed cracks, and if it continued to fight a few more times, it might shatter.
Lin Chen did not wish for the secret of his Divine Soul Puppet to be exposed. In his heart, he wished for his Second Soul Division to arrive quickly to take over his place.
