Chapter 940: Pursuit, The Abyssal Army

Editor: Henyee Translations

Jiang Chengxuan, accompanied by Shen Ruyan, made their way across the new world, heading towards their defensive position.

Throughout their journey, the air was thick with the sinister demonic qi, with demonic fortresses piercing the skies everywhere, creating one blood-colored vortex after another.

As demonic winds blew, black rain often fell from the vortexes, corroding the scarred earth with a fizzing sound.

Despite the weakening of the abyssal demons’ power to corrupt the world due to issues in the abyssal world, the new world was still shrouded in darkness.

It could be seen how ruthless the Abyssal Demon army was back then.

However, as they were a short distance from their destination, a surge of demonic qi suddenly rushed towards them from afar.

The pitch-black demonic clouds, carrying a chilling aura, reached them in a few breaths, then spread out, forming a ring of demonic qi encircling them.

“Hehehe, to think there are still human cultivators wandering alone now, truly fearless of death!”

Behind the dark qi, abyssal demons danced, with figures of abyssal demons appearing one after another, baring their fangs at the two surrounded individuals.

Throughout the years of war in the new world, the human side had always been in a defensive position, strictly prohibiting cultivators from leaving their posts to avoid surprise attacks by abyssal demons.

Therefore, seeing Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan alone, these demons approached without a second thought.

Even though their demonic power had weakened, the presence of only two human cultivators hardly posed any threat to them.

Among them, the leaders were three beings of Dao Integration demons, which was a considerable force in the new world.

As long as they stared at the movements of the leaders of the human base, it was almost impossible for them to turn the situation around.

“Human cultivators, your corpses will be a delightful feast for us, hehehe.”

One of the leading demons said, suddenly manifesting a giant claw, reaching out to grab Jiang Chengxuan.

But the next moment, green, red, yellow, white, and blue radiance burst forth, instantly shattering the demons’ foolish dreams.

Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan did not waste words with these demons, immediately unleashing their divine powers.

The Five Elements Divine Thunder roared, the scorching light and thunder instantly dispersing the surrounding demonic clouds.

This made the demons instantly realize something was wrong, but by then, it was too late for regrets.

An even more terrifying Five Elements Annihilation Radiance burst forth, instantly turning the area into a realm of light, where everything ceased to exist.

The three Dao Integration demons didn’t even have time to summon their demonic treasures before being instantly obliterated by the Five Elements Annihilation Radiance.

The other Dao Integration demons, under the interweaving of the five-colored divine light and the Five Elements Thunder, turned directly into ash.

Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan eliminated this team of demons with just one move, such was their terrifying power.

However, in the midst of the fierce explosion, a pitch-black shadow quietly emerged, silently escaping.

“Damn it! Who exactly are these two?!”

This was the primordial spirit of one of the abyssal demons, who had a special ability to turn his primordial spirit into a ghostly shadow, making it very secretive.

At this moment, he was filled with immense fear, not daring to stay a moment longer, fleeing towards the retreating abyssal demon army.

In fact, half a day earlier, the demon army had already begun retreating, consolidating their territories,

They intended to return to their demon fortresses to resist the human counterattack, unwilling to easily relinquish the new world they had consumed.

And this small team of demons that had surrounded Jiang Chengxuan and Shen Ruyan was actually led by three Dao Integration demon leaders who had ventured out on their own, hoping to scoop up one last victory before the retreat,

But unexpectedly, they ran directly into Jiang Chengxuan, the Grim Reaper, and were instantly annihilated.

This private outing led by them resulted in heavy losses and was bound to be severely punished upon their return,

But he thought of passing on Jiang Chengxuan’s information to the army, perhaps to offset their failure.

The shadow formed by this demon’s primordial spirit, not daring to linger for a moment, fled tirelessly for a day and a night before finally arriving at the location of the demon army.

His exhausted expression finally showed a hint of relief; despite the heavy losses, he had ultimately escaped death.

“As for what comes next, just…”

His mind was busy plotting their next move, but he hadn’t noticed a hand already clasping the back of his neck.

His spirit was massively shocked, and turning his head, he saw Jiang Chengxuan, a cold smile playing on his lips.

“No! No!”

He tried to scream, only to find in despair that his primordial spirit had been bound by the force of the Dao.

“Thank you for leading the way, we shall not meet again.”

Jiang Chengxuan spoke slowly, then with a flash of fire in his hand, the abyssal demon’s shadowy form instantly disappeared from this world.

Even the nearby demonic army didn’t notice as the demon was cast into the Eternal Sun Furnace,

Turning into nourishment for the Five Elements Diagram.

“Husband, you truly are ingeniously cunning.”

Shen Ruyan chuckled, covering her mouth.

Clearly, the escape of this abyssal demon’s primordial spirit was intentionally allowed by Jiang Chengxuan.

He and Shen Ruyan had actually been following this demon all along, leading them to the location of the demonic army in the end.

However, this place harboring a demonic army did not match the information Jiang Chengxuan had received from the elder before coming to the new world.

After carefully observing for a moment, Jiang Chengxuan noticed the immense scale of this demonic army,

Nearly five to six times the size given by the sect’s information.

Thus, this meant several abyssal demonic armies had converged here.

Jiang Chengxuan instantly understood the enemy’s intentions.

“With four to five armies converging, it seems the demons plan to retreat to their fortress.”

He turned and said to Shen Ruyan.

“Indeed. At this time, it’s impossible for the demons to be launching a total assault; they must be retreating.”

Shen Ruyan, quick-witted, immediately grasped Jiang Chengxuan’s meaning.

“Let’s pass the message to the nearby sects defending this area to intercept the demonic army; we can play around with these demons for a bit.”

Jiang Chengxuan said.

Then, he took out a special communication treasure, which transformed into several azure lights and disappeared into the void, spreading the message far and wide.

Having done everything necessary, they no longer hesitated and concealed their presence, moving closer to the demonic army.

As they neared the demonic army, the demonic in the air thickened until it obscured the light.

Countless demons of various appearances, each more grotesque than the last, were utterly unnerving, like a collection of randomly assembled organs.

Jiang Chengxuan’s consciousness swept silently over the entire demonic army,

Detecting after some investigation the presence of several Dao Integration level beings.

Such strength was nearly equivalent to the force the foreign races had deployed when attacking the Eastern Sky Domain.

Even though there were only two of them now, the two of them looked at each other with determination in their eyes.
