"The Dragon Venerable’s ticulous arrangents ensure that our Demon Race will undoubtedly return with a great victory this ti!"
A Demon Venerable from a subsidiary race of the Dragon Clan echoed loudly, exalting the Dragon Clan’s Demon Venerable to the heavens.
The Kunpeng Demon Venerable saw this and interrupted them.
"Stop making noise here, ti is of the essence, arrange things swiftly."
The rest heard these words and fell silent, departing in haste, leaving only the prominent figures of the strongest races’ Demon Venerables at their peak.
The Kunpeng Demon Venerable rose to fa at a young age, hailed as the first Kunpeng in three hundred thousand years; he brought the Devouring Dao to its pinnacle and tempered his physical body to the extre, making his prowess in killing arguably the greatest in the Demon Race.
He and the Dragon Clan’s Demon Venerable were contemporaries, and their lifelong rivalry gradually spread to the point of contention between their two races once they gained power.
The other Demon Venerables witnessed this helplessly.
"Is the intelligence from the Beast Taming Sect reliable?"
"I always feel like the Human Clan might have noticed sothing amiss."
The Kunpeng Demon Venerable said in a deep voice.
Logically, the Beast Taming Sect, one of the Eight Great Sects of the Human Race, had beco their Demon Race’s spy. Initially, their alliance with the Demon Sect indeed pushed the Human Clan into retreat, so such a situation should not have occurred.
Even with Jiang Taixuan greatly boosting the Human Clan’s morale, he couldn’t have turned the tide so quickly.
Many pieces of intelligence given by the Beast Taming Sect were erroneous, even contrary, which forced him to suspect the Beast Taming Sect.
"It shouldn’t be."
A Demon Venerable said,
"We’ve cooperated with the Beast Taming Sect for so many years, and they’ve never made any mistakes."
"The battlefield changes in a heartbeat, and so delays in the ssages they convey are understandable."
"As for saying the Beast Taming Sect would turn on us again, I think the possibility is small."
Constantly switching sides only offends both parties with no benefits. The Beast Taming Sect and the Demon Race have been linked for so many years, deeply binding both together.
The Kunpeng Demon Venerable shared this sentint in his heart.
"I don’t suspect it’s the Beast Taming Sect’s problem."
"What I’m worried about is whether the Human Clan’s high-ranking mbers have already discovered that he’s one of us, using strategy to provide us with false intelligence all along."
Having lived for too long, he thought deeply and vaguely sensed sothing wasn’t right.
This matter is too important for the Demon Race, forcing him to act cautiously.
"You have a point."
The Dragon Clan’s Demon Venerable pondered for a mont, nodding, and said,
"Preparations for a second plan must be made."
As night fell, a bright moon hung high, illuminating the Endless Sea as if it were daylight.
Hundreds of figures stealthily erged from the Demon Race encampnt, shrouded in a layer of mist, heading toward the Human Clan camp.
"The fish took the bait."
In the Human Clan Great Hall, the True Martial Sect Supre Sect Leader opened his eyes, a hint of a smile on his face, and spoke to a white-haired, white-browed elder beside him.
"This bait is too tempting. Even if they suspect sothing, they have no choice but to bite."
This elder, with white hair and youthful features, sat cross-legged on a mat, appearing as ordinary as a neighborly old man, yet his deep eyes were like an abyss.
"No matter."
"Once they bite the hook, they won’t have any choices left."
"The True Martial Sect will cover your losses."
Sitting across from the elder, the Supre Sect Leader spoke slowly.
Upon hearing this, the white-browed elder waved his hand, saying, "For the grand cause of the Human Clan, such minor losses are insignificant."
"If you truly want to make ands, once Jiang Taixuan returns, let him co to our sect and teach the Dao for a few days that will suffice."
"Jiang Taixuan has been in the spotlight lately. Many disciples in our sect have taken him as a role model. Perhaps it won’t be long before so talented individuals from our sect’s region will be eager to journey miles to join your True Martial Sect."
"Taiwu, your True Martial Sect is quite fortunate."
The Supre Sect Leader laughed heartily at these words and wholeheartedly agreed.
...
The leader of the Demon Race vanguard was a powerful Demon Monarch, with a true form of a Void Beast, a species belonging to the primary material of the Swallowing Sky Mirror, innately attuned to the Space Dao.
The Space Dao established by it could even obscure the perception of newly ascended Daoist Venerables to so extent.
Additionally, the mist enveloping them was a great technique personally arranged by a Demon Venerable, further concealing their forms as they smoothly passed through the Human Clan’s first line of defense.
"It seems the news that the Human Clan will launch a decisive battle tomorrow is true."
They communicated discreetly among themselves.
The Human Clan’s defense today could be described as impenetrable. The grand Great Array operated as one, its vast Dao Rhy left them in awe.
The Human Clan’s cultivators were seizing this final mont to adjust their states, forging their Divine Power Weapons, signaling the imminent great war from all aspects.
"These Humans are well aware of our ineptitude with Soul Consciousness. Most of the great arrays they set up directly target souls. So even make shiver just by looking at them."
"However, having now penetrated the Human Clan’s camp, these great arrays pose no threat to us."
They couldn’t help but feel a sense of relief.
These great arrays are terrifying. So are even manned by Daoist Monarchs. Direct confrontation would surely be fatal, wouldn’t it?
Fortunately, they had advance notice of the Humans’ impending decisive battle, allowing them to launch a surprise attack deep within the Human territory at night, providing an advantage for the main force behind them.
"Silence."
The leading Demon Monarch suddenly spoke,
"Now that we’ve ventured ever closer to the Human territory, if our Divine Sense communications are detected by a Human Clan Daoist Venerable, not only will this operation fail, but our infiltrators within the Human Clan will also be exposed, and then we would all be sinners of the Demon Race."
Upon hearing this, the others understood its gravity, fell silent, and proceeded forward to a noticeably more ornate camp.
This was the camp of the Eight Great Sects’ disciples, and the aura emanating from within belonged to the True Martial Sect.
As Jiang Shu’s reputation grew, the standing of the True Martial Sect rose accordingly.
The True Martial Sect practices the Power Dao, advocating the idea of breaking all laws with sheer force, pushing everything aside with a pair of fists, making it the dream place for many cultivators. Nowadays, it is even subtly poised to beco the leader of the Eight Great Sects.
If the destruction of a True Martial Sect camp could be achieved, it would undoubtedly be an excellent opening for the impending decisive battle.
The Demon Race powerhouses exchanged glances and then, with a tacit understanding, flew around, surrounding the True Martial Sect camp. With a flip of their wrists, they took out Array Flags and inserted them into the void, chanting incantations as Dao Rhys manifested around them. An aura that seed to be able to destroy heaven and earth emanated out, yet was shrouded by the mist without leaking.
"Destroy!"
The leading Demon Monarch fiercely struck his own chest, spitting out a mouthful of Essence Blood, which turned into a blood mist in an instant, rapidly enveloping the camp and connecting with the forces of heaven and earth.
High in the sky, dark clouds gathered and rotated slowly, forming a vortex. A Big Handprint erged from the whirlpool, suppressing and killing towards the True Martial Sect camp.
"Enemy attack!"
Simultaneously, a loud shout ca from within the True Martial Sect camp.
Several Daoist Monarch auras shot out, rushing to the sky, their Great Dao Embryo Chains flickering as they unleashed nurous Great Techniques in succession, attempting to block the Big Handprint.
However, this wave of the Killing Array was condensed by the demonic power and Dao Rhys of dozens of Demon Monarchs and over a hundred Transford Demons. How could several re late-stage Daoist Monarchs hope to stop it?
They were destroyed effortlessly, their auras disappearing along, while the Big Handprint crashed down, obliterating the camp below, eliciting cries of anguish.
In one strike, a True Martial Sect camp was half destroyed.
"It’s done!"
"Quick, retreat!"
The Demon Race vanguard was overjoyed, wasting no ti in turning to escape in the sa direction.
