Mustering the Army for War, Outside Black Fiend Demon Ridge

The plan was finalized in just a few words.

Soon, Chen Qinghao and the Old Clan Leader issued Summons Order, urging the immortal clans of the Vast Sea and Ji Continent to prepare for war.

Mobilizing cultivators from two continents to prepare for war is no easy task, as both the Vast Sea and Ji Continent are millions of miles away from the Heaven's Spine Mountains.

Even at the speed of a Tier 4 Treasure Ship, it would take three months to make a round trip.

Fortunately, after the Battle of the Vast Sea thirty years ago, the Chen Clan killed many Demon King and has now forged more than forty Tier 4 Treasure Ship.

Including the Treasure Ship accumulated by the Chen Kingdom and the Vast Sea over the years, there are a total of ninety-seven War Treasure Ship.

During times of war, these War Treasure Ship became strategic resources. Chen Changxuan forcibly requisitioned these War Treasure Ship and then made the various immortal clans contribute money and manpower.

Eradicating the Devil Cultivator is of paramount importance. After all, if you don't wipe Devil Cultivator out today, they might sacrifice your entire clan tomorrow just to create a Devil Cultivator Demon Treasure.

Faced with such a crucial event, the various immortal clans remained clear-headed, and most of them cooperated well.

Those who are willing to contribute manpower can contribute resources, such as War Treasure Ship, battle flags, Law Treasure, Spirit Stone, and even supplies for post-war rewards. As long as one is Human Race, one must do one's part to eradicate the Devil Cultivator.

After a year of hard work, the Chen Immortal Clan not only raised supplies worth hundreds of millions of Spirit Stone, but also mobilized more than 600,000 cultivators.

These 600,000 cultivators were all at least at the Late Stage of Qi Refining, and many were elderly cultivators, clearly prepared to fight to the death.

"I wonder how many people will perish in this battle."

Chen Nianzhi sat cross-legged on the Azure Jade Phoenix Plume Boat, looking down at the nearly one hundred Tier 4 War Treasure Ship below, and couldn't help but sigh.

A Demonic Cultivator Forbidden Ground is not so easily eradicated. The Black Fiend Demon Ridge stretches for millions of miles and gathers Devil Cultivator from several surrounding continents. It is no exaggeration to call it a Devil Cultivator kingdom.

Don't be fooled by the fact that they've collected hundreds of millions of Spirit Stone worth of supplies. If the war goes badly, those hundreds of millions of Spirit Stone might not even be enough to cover the compensation, let alone any rewards.

Seeing this, Jiang Linglong quickly took his hand and comforted him, "Don't worry, in this battle, dozens of the Golden Core Immortal Clan from the Yan Kingdom, Ling Kingdom, and even the six kingdoms of the Ji Continent have been summoned. Our strength is enough to suppress the Black Fiend Demon Ridge."

"The most crucial thing now is whether True Lord Haoran can suppress and kill the Black Fiend Old Devil."

Chen Nianzhi nodded upon hearing this. The key to Black Fiend Demon Ridge lies with the Black Fiend Old Ancestor. If this person cannot be killed, low-level Qi Refining Demonic Cultivator will probably only need two or three hundred years to recover.

After all, the lifespan of Qi Refining Demonic Cultivator is not long. Even if they don't kill these Devil Cultivator, a new batch will still come after a hundred years.

Not to mention that these Devil Cultivator routinely kill each other, and using the Blood Bone of their fellow disciples to refine Demon Treasure is commonplace.

However, as long as the Black Fiend Old Ancestor is removed and the Demon Spring of the Black Fiend Ridge is destroyed, the Black Fiend Demon Ridge will no longer have the Sha Qi needed by Devil Cultivator, and naturally it will be unable to nurture more Devil Cultivator.

Getting back to the main point, as the Treasure Ship continued its journey, they unknowingly arrived at the Heaven's Spine Mountains.

With the protection of two Nascent Soul True Lord, Chen Nianzhi and Jiang Linglong, they were not attacked by demons along the way.

In fact, the sight of nearly a hundred Tier 4 Treasure Ship soaring into the sky was even more awe-inspiring than that of a hundred late Golden Core stage Demon King, and ordinary demons dared not approach them at all.

It wasn't until the Treasure Ship crossed the Heaven's Spine Mountains and arrived at the outer edge of the Black Fiend Demon Ridge that Chen Nianzhi met the Qingling True Lord was there to receive him.

Upon seeing Qingling True Lord, Chen Nianzhi immediately asked, "How is the situation?"

Qingling True Lord said, "We have surrounded the Devil Cultivator of Black Fiend Demon Ridge on the ridge and are waiting for you to pass through."

Chen Nianzhi nodded. The Vast Sea was even farther away, so they were among the last to arrive.

Although the Black Fiend Demon Ridge is said to cover millions of miles, its Demon Spring is almost indistinguishable from Tier 5 Upper Grade Spirit Vein, and its influence is actually limited to a core area of only ten thousand miles.

Outside the area affected by the Demon Spring, only a very small amount of Demon Baleful Intent dissipates, so most Devil Cultivator practice within the area shrouded by the Demon Baleful Intent.

Earlier, the first batch of cultivators from the six kingdoms of the Ji Continent arrived and, together with True Lord Haoran, directly trapped most of the Devil Cultivator in the Black Fiend Demon Ridge within the ten-thousand-mile-long demonic ridge.

With this thought in mind, Chen Nianzhi said, "Then let's set off quickly and surround Black Fiend Demon Ridge as soon as possible."

The Tier 4 War Treasure Ship could only travel 200,000 li per day, and it took more than ten days to finally arrive at Black Fiend Demon Ridge.

When Chen Nianzhi met True Lord Haoran, she discovered that Yan Ziji, Ji Feixue, and Lingxu Fairy had already arrived.

Of course, the Chen Clan contributed the most to this battle. In addition to Chen Nianzhi and his two dao companion, Chen Changxuan, Lin Qianshu, and Qiu Daoyi also participated in the battle as guests of the Chen Clan.

With the addition of True Lord Haoran and his disciples, the Human Race True Lord participating in this battle has reached a staggering twelve.

Of course, the Chen Clan did not mobilize all its forces. Jiang Linglong's Natal Primordial Embryo was stationed on Immortal Apricot Island, and she could guard the various Spirit Mountain of the Chen Clan at any time through the Teleportation Array.

With her Second Primordial Embryo Nascent Soul Middle Stage Law Power, activating the formation would be enough to hold out for some time, even if the Purple Jade Demon Emperor were to attack at his peak, until Chen Nianzhi returned to help.

Now that all the True Lord have gathered together, True Lord Haoran said with a smile, "Now that you've come here, we can start planning how to begin this battle."

"Hmm." Chen Nianzhi nodded, then asked, "How many people came?"

Yan Ziji, who had arrived earlier, had already tallied the number of people and said with a smile, "The six kingdoms of the Ji Continent have sent 500,000 cultivators. Our Yan Kingdom and Ling Kingdom have fewer people, so we only sent 40,000 cultivators in total."

"If we calculate it this way, including the Human Race cultivators from the Heaven's Spine Mountains, there should be over 1.2 million cultivators."

Chen Nianzhi nodded, feeling a slight sense of relief.

With 1.2 million cultivators, all of whom are experienced veterans with most of their Late Stage of Qi Refining, this force has already drawn more than half of the power from the Ji Continent and the Vast Sea.

Although Black Fiend Ridge is said to have millions of Devil Cultivator, it is estimated that there are no more than two million. However, the cultivation levels of these Devil Cultivator vary greatly, and they would definitely not be a match for these 1.2 Human Race elders in a real fight.

"It's hard to say. The Devil Cultivator have the Demon Spring to replenish their energy. The longer the fight drags on, the greater their advantage will be. It's not certain that they will be able to win completely."

"It seems we need to act quickly and break through the Demon Baleful Intent as soon as possible."

With this in mind, Chen Nianzhi asked, "Are there any people from the neighboring Star Continent or Heavenly Hut Continent participating in the exhibition?"

"Not many have come." Qingling True Lord his head and said helplessly, "Star Continent is facing a pincer attack from the two demon emperor territories of Roc Ridge and Great Gan River, and simply dares not send troops on a distant expedition."

"Heavenly Hut Continent is in an even worse situation. The Flame Demon Race has emerged from the Infernal Flame Sea, putting immense pressure on the Heavenly Hut Sect."

"Fortunately, the Ji Clan dispatched several True Lord to help us hold off the Immortal Crane Demon Emperor and the Soaring Serpent Demon Emperor, allowing us to concentrate our forces to attack the Black Fiend Demon Ridge."

Hearing this, Chen Nianzhi sighed, "If it weren't for the contract with the Purple Jade Demon Emperor, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to mobilize all 600,000 cultivators from the Vast Sea."
