After the meeting ended, everyone dispersed and began preparations.
The four empires, Shadow Hall, Carefree Tower, Taixu Tavern, and Ancient Sect all sprang into action.
Such a massive mobilization of troops created a huge commotion, making it nearly impossible to conceal from the demon clan.
In the Monster Beast Mountain Range, within the Demon Commander’s Mansion.
The grand hall of the Demon Beast Mansion was filled with a bloody stench, the entire hall stained red with blood, a veritable mountain of corpses and sea of blood, chilling to behold.
At this moment, a Sky Demon rushed in.
“Bad news, Demon Lord! The human race is mobilizing troops toward the Monster Beast Mountain Range with great fanfare. Dragon Clan reinforcements have arrived again. It looks like they… they’re planning to attack our Monster Beast Mountain Range!” the Sky Demon said in a panic.
After all, the human race currently had far more strong cultivators than the demon clan, and with Dragon Clan support, how could it not be alarmed?
“Attack the Monster Beast Mountain Range? Hmph! They’re truly audacious. Driving our demon clan back to the Monster Beast Mountain Range wasn’t enough; do they also want to annihilate us?” The Demon Lord opened its scarlet eyes, letting out a cold laugh.
“Demon Lord, what should we do?” the Sky Demon below hurriedly asked.
“Issue my orders: the demon clan is to enter a state of war readiness immediately. If they dare attack the Monster Beast Mountain Range, do not engage their main forces head-on. Disperse and use our geographical advantage, hiding while fighting. Avoid direct confrontation and wear them down slowly. This is our territory; we can afford to drag it out. Let’s see how long they can last in the Monster Beast Mountain Range!” The Demon Lord revealed a confident smile.
The Demon Lord knew that after the last great war, it and the Sky Demons had suffered heavy losses. A direct confrontation would put the demon clan at a great disadvantage!
The demon clan held an absolute geographical advantage in the Monster Beast Mountain Range, with its cliffs, canyons, and numerous miasma-filled areas shrouded in toxic fog. In such places, human divine senses were useless, and the miasma greatly impaired human hearing and vision, even weakening their strength. Some miasma could even poison humans or cause hallucinations.
But the demon clan, having lived in these areas for years, thrived in such conditions.
Thus, the geographical advantage was the demon clan’s greatest asset.
Moreover, with the human race invading the mountains to exterminate the demon clan, the demon beasts would naturally fight back desperately.
“Yes!” the Sky Demon below responded.
“Also, organize ten million elite troops, divide them into four groups. After the human race attacks, have these four groups teleport directly into the four empires via teleportation arrays. Once their main forces enter the Monster Beast Mountain Range, their empire defenses will surely be weak. Attack the four empires with full force, at least to cause enough disruption to force them to retreat!” the Demon Lord instructed.
Although some teleportation arrays built by the demon clan in human territories had been discovered and destroyed, a few remained.
“Understood!” the Sky Demon below responded.
“Additionally, evacuate all demon beasts from the Demon Commander’s Mansion, leaving only me here,” the Demon Lord ordered.
The Demon Lord was confident that even if the human army surrounded this place, they could do nothing to it!
Having other demon beasts here would be pointless.
“But… what about you, Demon Lord?” the Sky Demon asked.
“Even if I stay here openly, what can the human race do to me?” The Demon Lord sneered coldly.
The Demon Lord continued with a cold laugh, “The human race has likely learned of my cultivation and fears that once I succeed, they’ll no longer be able to handle me. So they’re striking first. But they can’t touch me. The human race is destined to fail, and my sacrifices as the Demon Lord are only temporary!”
Three days later, at dawn!
At the borders where the four empires met the Monster Beast Mountain Range, the human army had fully assembled outside the range, disciplined and orderly.
Looking out, the vast sea of troops seemed endless.
Now, they awaited only a single command, and the armies gathered at the borders of the four empires would charge toward the Monster Beast Mountain Range!
The Dragon Clan reinforcements had also split into four groups, arriving at the borders of the four empires.
At this moment, in the Heavenly God Palace.
On the plaza of the Heavenly God Palace.
Mo Bai, Deputy Palace Master Yao, Supreme Elder Rong Zhen, Lin Yun, Little Blue Dragon, and Little Monkey were all present.
Also there were the emperors of the four empires, the Carefree Tower Master, the Ancient Sect Master, the Shadow Hall Master, and the Taixu Tavern Master.
The other Immortals had already gathered at the borders of the four empires.
“You eight, here are your ground attack routes.” Lin Yun handed route maps to the emperors of the four empires and the leaders of the other four forces.
The four ground battle lines would be led by the emperors of the four empires, with routes planned by Little Monkey.
As for the air battle lines.
The Carefree Tower Master and his Immortals and cultivators would enter the Monster Beast Mountain Range from the Fire Cloud Empire, handling the air battle line, coordinating with the ground forces.
The Ancient Sect would handle the air battle line for the Xingwu Empire’s advance, the Shadow Hall for the Kunlan Empire’s air battle line, and the Taixu Tavern for the Tianqian Empire’s air battle line, all coordinating with the ground forces.
As for Lin Yun, Mo Bai, Rong Zhen, Deputy Palace Master Yao, Little Blue Dragon, and Little Monkey, they would head directly through the air to the Demon Commander’s Mansion!
After Lin Yun handed over the route maps, he said, “Everyone, let’s move out. In this battle, we must go all out, regardless of life or death. If we win, the demon clan will no longer be a threat!”
“We will give our all!” The emperors of the four empires and the leaders of the four forces responded resolutely.
They all understood how crucial this battle was for the human race!
After speaking, the eight of them left first, heading to their respective battle lines and battlefields!
After they departed, only Lin Yun, Mo Bai, Rong Zhen, Deputy Palace Master Yao, Little Blue Dragon, and Little Monkey remained.
“We must move out too. Our battlefield is the key to determining the outcome of this war,” Mo Bai said.
“Phew…”
“The day has finally come,” Lin Yun took a deep breath.
Waiting to attack the Monster Beast Mountain Range could be said to have taken Lin Yun a thousand years.
Today, the time was finally ripe!
At this moment, Lin Yun couldn’t help but feel nervous and uneasy.
Because, as Mo Bai had just said, their battlefield was the key to victory or defeat.
More precisely, whether Lin Yun could defeat the Demon Lord was the key to victory!
Although the True Sacred Artifact should ensure success, Lin Yun had never used it before and felt some uncertainty. If he failed to kill the Demon Lord, it would be a disaster!
“Kid, it’ll be fine. Don’t be nervous,” Little Blue Dragon patted Lin Yun’s shoulder.
“Lin Yun, are you ready?” Mo Bai looked at Lin Yun.
“Ready. Let’s go,” Mo Bai said, waving his hand.
With that, Lin Yun, the four others, Little Blue Dragon, and Little Monkey left, heading to the battlefield…
