Chapter 770: Chapter 770 Retreat from the Luoyun Mountain Range
"Damn it, this guy truly lives up to his status as a powerhouse from the Creation Realm, actually able to ignore the formation I laid out and directly lock onto my aura."
"It’s not wise to stay here any longer. As long as I remain within these ruins, that guy will keep tracking my aura. Now, I have no choice but to flee the ruins, perhaps then I will be able to escape this catastrophe."
Lin Chen thought to himself, immediately not lingering any longer, he displayed a Talisman Inscription and quickly fled.
He didn’t dare wait for the Dark Demon Race’s expert to get close. Since the other party could lock onto him, it was clear they knew he was the one who had stolen the Space Crystal Stone. If that guy decided to make a move on him, Lin Chen would certainly not be able to escape.
Moreover, the opponent’s cultivation surpassed that of Demon General Hui, whom he had faced before, by an unknown margin. The strength of a First-Rank Demon General’s forces was incomparable to this, and if the opponent didn’t want to waste words with Lin Chen, he feared a single encounter would be enough for them to directly attack and finish him off.
At this very moment, Wuse was at full speed, flying towards Lin Chen.
While pursuing Lin Chen, Wuse’s heart was filled with astonishment and irritation. As a formidable being of the Creation Realm, he couldn’t catch up to an ant of the Human Race from the Heavenly Human Realm. If his peers found out, where would he put his face as the Great Elder?
Wuse was extremely shocked in his heart, perplexed by how a mere ant of the Human Race could possess such speed and movement techniques that even he found difficult to catch up with.
Meanwhile, Lin Chen, constantly using the Purple Cloud Wings and the Earth-escape Talisman, was getting closer and closer to the teleportation portal.
...
However, in the Eastern Domain of Mysterious Heaven Continent, within the Luoyun Mountain Range.
While Lin Chen was being hunted by the Dark Demon Race in the Void Continent, Lin Chen’s Second Soul Division, after being in a stalemate with the Dark Demon Race army for a long time, reluctantly made a decision: to escape from the area.
They could no longer worry about those Dark Demon Race armies spreading out to other parts of the Eastern Domain or joining forces with other powers; the allied forces only amounted to 170,000 at most.
The reinforcements from the various powers hadn’t arrived yet, after all. Each sect’s headquarters were being attacked by the Red Soul Hall, and they were barely able to preserve themselves.
And as for the Dark Demon Race, they had eight million troops. How could the mere 170,000 strong Divine Flame Alliance army contend with the eight million-strong enemy force?
Although the Demon Race had its reinforcements arriving before and after, totaling around one million, even a million-strong Demon Race army was incapable of contending with the force of the Dark Demon Race. However, Lin Chen had sold talismans capable of resisting the death qi of the Magic Race to the Demon Race.
After all, the Demon Race at least could put up some resistance against the Dark Demon Race army. Now was not the time to be concerned with past grievances. After all, the enemy of an enemy is a friend.
During this time, the Talisman Pavilion of the Jade Cauldron Sect had produced quite a number of Demon-Removing Talismans and Demon-Suppressing Talismans. Lin Chen left some of these talismans behind, although right now he was not engaging with the Dark Demon Race army, these were kept in reserve just in case.
Apart from those reserved talismans, Lin Chen handed all the others to the Demon Race, as they were the main force against the Dark Demon Race army right now.
Lin Chen hoped the Demon Race would delay them as long as possible.
During this period, Li Hanyi acted as a runner, barely finishing delivering the talismans to Lin Chen’s hands before immediately having to return to Cloud Sky City to continue fetching and bringing talismans.
There was no alternative, the army of Red Soul Hall was attacking, and the Jade Cauldron Sect did not have enough hands. Although the Dark Division had the capability to deliver the Talisman Inscription, their speed was not as fast as Li Hanyi’s.
As for Yang Yuemin and Xu Ma’an, although they might be a bit faster than Li Hanyi, they were tasked with organizing Cloud Sky City’s army to combat the Red Soul Hall’s forces. Therefore, this important duty fell on Li Hanyi’s shoulders.
At this moment, facing the great army of the Dark Demon Race, Lin Chen led an integrated force of one hundred seventy thousand, retreating toward the east.
After several battles with the Dark Demon Race’s army, and with the help of Lin Chen’s Talisman Inscription, although they managed to annihilate quite a number of the Dark Demon Race’s army, they were overwhelmed by their sheer numbers, forcing the Demon Race to start retreating as well.
The direction of their retreat was different from Lin Chen and the human forces. The main camp of the Demon Race was located within the Luoyun Mountain Range, and since they were positioned to the north of the site, the Demon Race naturally retreated towards the north.
Fortunately, during the last twenty-plus days, Lin Chen had set up numerous Formations around the Luoyun Mountain Range to counter the Dark Demon Race.
Hence, as they retreated, merely by detonating the leftover Formations and Talisman Inscriptions, they killed around five hundred thousand of the Dark Demon Race’s army, which dealt a significant blow to them.
At this moment, Lin Chen and the others were retreating.
"This is a move of last resort. If we were to stand our ground and fight it out, there would only be one outcome for us, and that is certain death," Lin Chen said.
He knew all too well that their military force was no match for the enormous army of the Dark Demon Race.
But retreating eastward would mean potentially leaving the Luoyun Mountain Range and reaching the Eastern Domain of the Mysterious Heaven Continent.
Then, it was possible that an apocalyptic scene would unfold.
Wherever the Dark Demon Race passed, death qi spread. Any place enveloped by death qi would surely become a gloomy environment. Given the Dark Demon Race’s cruelty, weaker creatures would inevitably be devoured completely, turning into piles of bones.
Although Lin Chen did not wish to witness such devastation of life, he lacked the power to change anything.
Facing the retreat of the Human and Demon Races, the Dark Demon Race naturally seized the opportunity to pursue their victory. Their purpose in descending upon the Mysterious Heaven Continent was to annihilate all living beings from this realm, devour them completely, and turn them into nourishment, recreating this world into one filled with death qi suitable for their habitation.
Now, faced with the retreat of the Human and Demon Races, the Dark Demon Race, having just arrived and unfamiliar with the terrain, naturally could not stop their advance. Thus, they split their forces into three and pursued Lin Chen and the others.
The Dark Demon Race’s army pursuing Lin Chen amounted to nearly two million. In their eyes, Lin Chen’s mere force of one hundred seventy thousand was more than ten times smaller, which made them believe that annihilating Lin Chen and his troops would be a piece of cake.
However, they had underestimated the true fighting strength of Lin Chen’s Divine Flame Alliance army.
Especially during this period, Lin Chen had put the one hundred seventy thousand-strong army through intensive training, and every soldier’s combat power had improved from before...
While the Dark Demon Race’s army pursued the Demon and Human Races, Lin Chen in the ruins was still being chased by Wuse!
At this point, Lin Chen didn’t dare to be the slightest bit careless, pushing his speed to the limit. In addition to using the Advanced Qiankun Escape Talisman, he was now only four hundred thousand miles away from the transmission portal.
