A Battle with No Retreat

Seven days later, the Treasure Ship fleet flew towards the waters of the White Tiger Star Palace.

Chen Nianchuan stood quietly in place, watching the crowd leave, his expression calm and solemn.

Almost everyone was mobilized for this battle, but in order to prevent the scattered Devil Race from threatening the core of the Vermilion Bird Archipelago, some Nascent Soul True Lord and troops were left behind.

This includes Chen Nianchuan and Chen Xianye, who will be responsible for guarding several star array eyes.

Seeing Chen Nianzhi and the others leave, Chen Nianchuan did not linger on Zhen Water Island and flew towards Star-Sun Island.

After flying for millions of miles, when passing a deserted island, Chen Nianchuan suddenly frowned slightly, and then his escape light abruptly stopped, halting before Spirit Mountain.

On the deserted island, a jet-black demonic sword floated.

This sword is crystal clear, with black mist swirling within, and an Undying Sword Intent emanating from it.

"Heavenly Demon Immortal-Slaying Sword"

In an instant, Chen Nianchuan recognized the origin of the sword.

It turned out that after the Heavenly Demon Immortal-Slaying Sword broke through the encirclement, it eventually exhausted its Law Power and fell onto this desolate island.

The moment Chen Nianchuan discovered the Heavenly Demon Immortal-Slaying Sword Heavenly Demon Immortal-Slaying Sword, its sword light surged, instantly transforming into a wisp of black energy that flew into his brow.

"Hahaha!"

In the blink of an eye, Chen Nianchuan discovered that a strange laugh had rang out in his sea of consciousness.

A remnant soul flew out from the sword, exclaiming with a hint of wild joy, "Truly, Heaven has not forsaken me! I have actually discovered a Heavenly Dao Nascent Soul."

"Soul-Seizing Reincarnation Technique"

The newcomer was actually a remnant soul of the Jialuo Devil Lord. He charged towards Chen Nianchuan's Nascent Soul with boundless killing intent, intending to use a powerful Demonic Path Great Divine Ability to seize his body and undergo tribulation.

Despite the ruthless method of tribulation employed by the Jialuo Devil Lord, Chen Nianchuan remained unfazed, allowing the Jialuo Devil Lord's soul to flow into his Nascent Soul.

What's going on?

Just as the Devil Lord Jialuo Devil Lord rushed into Chen Nianchuan's brow, he suddenly sensed something was wrong.

Within Chen Nianchuan's Nascent Soul, countless thoughts instantly split off, overwhelming him completely, making him feel like a lone boat adrift on a vast ocean, insignificant and unreachable.

In an instant, the remnant soul of the Jialuo Devil Lord Gara panicked. He showed a look of terror and said in shock, "Who are you? Are you a human or a ghost?"

Chen Nianchuan watched him quietly, his expression remaining unchanged throughout.

His Nascent Soul contained 480 million thoughts, and with the combined power of these thoughts, his divine soul was even stronger than that of Half-Step Primordial Spirit realm.

The Jialuo Devil Lord Gara is nothing more than a wisp of remnant spirit; to think that one could use Divine Ability to possess him is nothing short of a fool's dream.

After countless thoughts within Chen Nianchuan's soul gradually devoured the remnant will of the Jialuo Devil Lord and merged it into a part of his own soul, he finally spoke calmly.

"I am who I am, and you are who I am; you will be one of my 480 million thoughts."

"Buzz--"

The sword light trembled slightly. The Heavenly Demon Immortal-Slaying Sword sensed something was wrong and tried to escape from Chen Nianchuan's sea of consciousness.

However, Chen Nianchuan's brow twitched slightly, and a trace of the power of the Jialuo Devil Lord surged out from his Nascent Soul, intertwining with the Heavenly Demon Immortal-Slaying Sword.

Sensing the power of the Jialuo Devil Lord, the light of the Heavenly Demon Immortal-Slaying Sword trembled slightly and gradually dimmed.

At this very moment, Chen Nianchuan's Law Power was taking the opportunity to gradually erode the demonic sword, refining this Pure Yin Demon Treasure that once belonged to the Jialuo Devil Lord.

"..."

Chen Nianzhi was unaware of Chen Nianchuan's chance encounter with the Heavenly Demon Immortal-Slaying Sword.

The army marched on for over a month, finally traversing tens of millions of miles of territory and arriving outside the White Tiger Region.

Meanwhile, on the Treasure Ship, Chen Nianzhi and other Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivators gathered together, each displaying a solemn expression.

Profound Void Daoist put down a letter in his hand, and said with a worried expression, "The fellow Daoists of the Azure Dragon Star Palace have been defeated, and this battle will likely be subject to further unforeseen changes."

"What should we do?"

Everyone present had a somber expression, and many of them seemed somewhat desperate.

Chen Nianzhi's face was also extremely pained. The collapse of the Azure Dragon Star Palace dealt a heavy blow to everyone, like a huge stone pressing on their hearts.

According to the battle plan they had agreed upon with Nine Abyss Daojun, Nine Abyss Daojun would force the four Primordial Spirit of the Devil Race race to a decisive battle three days later.

According to the plan, Lu Jiuyuan will unleash the power of the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and the three Star Spirit to fight against the four Devil Race Dao Lord.

Meanwhile, the people from the White Tiger Star Palace and the Three Veins Ancient Domain attacked one or two demonic primordial spirits from both sides. As long as they could hold off the two primordial spirit demonic cultivators, they could create an opportunity for Dao Lord Jiuyuan to kill the extraterrestrial demons.

However, now that all the key points of the Azure Dragon Star Palace array have been breached, and with one less Azure Dragon Star Spirit to assist them, they are essentially losing a Primordial Spirit combatant.

In battles of this caliber, a single Primordial Spirit cultivator is more effective than hundreds of Nascent Soul True Lord, demonstrating the immense impact of the defeat at the Azure Dragon Star Palace Archipelago on the overall battle.

Thinking of this, everyone felt a little apprehensive. The Profound Void Daoist couldn't help but ask, "Brother Nianzhi, should we continue this battle?"

"Fight!" Chen Nianzhi said resolutely, his gaze cold. "If we succeed in this battle, we can all go back alive. But if we are defeated, it could ruin the entire situation."

"This is our only chance. We must fight on, no matter the cost."

Upon hearing this, everyone trembled with fear, for whether they won or lost this battle, they would surely pay a bloody price.

However, they also understood that Chen Nianzhi was right; they could not retreat any further in this battle.

The Flying Feather Pavilion nodded, his gaze resolute, and said, "If any of us die in battle, I hope you will take care of their descendants."

"Brother Fei Yu"

Profound Void Daoist felt a tremor in his heart, then glanced at Feiyu Daoist before gritting his teeth and saying, "My lifespan is running out; it's time to go all out."

"But if I die in battle, I hope you can take care of my Lineage."

"Don't worry." Flying Feather Pavilion nodded, then laughed and said, "If I die in battle, I'll trouble Brother Xuan Xu to collect my body."

Seeing that the two Half-Step Primordial Spirit realm experts were disregarding their own lives, everyone regained their fighting spirit and decided to fight with all their might to decide the fate of the world.

"Alright, let's fight! Let's join forces and try to kill a Primordial Spirit!"

Seeing the high morale of the crowd, Chen Nianzhi smiled and said.

He unusually produced a jar of spiritual wine, poured a cup for each person, and then said, "I drink this wine to encourage you all to embark on your journey; we are determined to fight and slay the Heavenly Demon!"
