Chapter 420: The Final Battle Approaches

Chapter 420: Chapter 420: The Final Battle Approaches

What kind of means could allow Ji Chen to continually summon such strong beings of this Realm to fight for him?

What secrets does he have on him?

The cultivators of the Yu Realm all furrowed their brows, their expressions extremely grave.

Originally, thinking that they could easily destroy Longnan City, which had no defenses left.

But now it seems, Ji Chen alone has blocked tens of thousands of their troops!

This was something no one had expected.

One man defending a city...

He really managed to do it!

"Ah!"

Cries of agony rose one after another.

In the battle circle, a large number of Yu Realm cultivators fell, either torn apart by the powerful demon beasts or smashed into pulp.

The battle was extremely intense. Despite having numerical advantage, the Yu Realm was completely locked in a bitter struggle against the demon beast army summoned by Ji Chen.

And in the middle of the battle circle, a dozen Yu Realm strongmen wielding Emperor’s Weapons were fighting fiercely against nine Peak Great Saints.

Thus far, they similarly had not gained any advantage.

In fact, as time went on, the toll of wielding the Emperor’s Weapons was immense, and now, facing the continuous fierce attack from the nine Great Saints, they were evidently showing signs of losing ground.

"Retreat!"

Finally, after an unknown amount of time had passed.

Someone ordered, to withdraw from the battlefield.

Because they realized, no matter how many of Ji Chen’s demon beasts they killed, they could never be completely destroyed.

It was as if there was a nest of demon beasts within him, capable of summoning thousands of Ancient Exotic Species continuously.

Up to now, the Yu Realm had suffered at least tens of thousands of casualties.

If they continued the entanglement like this, they would inevitably face the fate of total annihilation.

As a last resort, the only option was to temporarily withdraw.

"Swish!"

With the command, in an instant, a large number of Yu Realm cultivators swiftly retreated, fleeing into the distance, and in less than a dozen breaths, they completely vanished from this void.

Outside Longnan City, the surging momentum gradually returned to calm, the world became bright again, just as before.

Watching the tens of thousands of Yu Realm cultivators flee in panic, Ji Chen did not pursue.

He retracted his gaze and scrutinized his Spiritual Sea.

The Immortal Format radiated brilliant light, like a sun, immersing within, nourishing every inch of his flesh and meridians.

Ji Chen discovered that ever since absorbing the Immortal Format, his spiritual power seemed inexhaustible.

No matter what powerful Emperor’s Art, Secret Technique, or how many Emperor Scriptures and Laws he used, the spiritual power expended could almost recover in a short time.

Including summoning creatures from the Spirit Emperor Tower, which also consumed large amounts of his spiritual power.

But now, thanks to the Immortal Format, this consumption was no longer a concern.

Most importantly, Ji Chen also found that the more spiritual power he consumed, the faster his cultivation grew.

Simply put, the more battles he fought, the longer they lasted, the greater his cultivation would rise post-battle!

This thought made Ji Chen’s heart involuntarily excited.

If things continued to develop like this, in less than a month, he could attempt to reach the Reincarnation Emperor Realm.

Therefore, after gaining the Immortal Format, he did not plan to abandon the city and leave but intended to stay here, ready to face the Yu Realm army that could strike at any moment.

Only then could he grow faster.

...

Night fell.

Ji Chen sat cross-legged in the Celestial Residence, accelerating his absorption of Immortal Power.

And whenever he calmed his mind, in the ethereal, Ji Chen could always feel some unknown presence in this world, peeking at him.

Perhaps the Immortal Road, or originating from the Immortal Realm.

These only appeared after he obtained the Immortal Format.

"Ji Chen, come out and face death quickly!"

Late at night, while Ji Chen was still in cultivation, suddenly, such an angry shout came from outside the city.

He slowly opened his eyes, gazing into the distant sky, where a considerable number of Yu Realm strongmen, numbering at least over fifty thousand, had already gathered.

"Kill!"

Ji Chen sneered, immediately leaping out, arriving atop the city wall.

"Buzz!"

The space quivered slightly, and without hesitation, he summoned demon beasts from the Spirit Emperor Tower.

In an instant, a great battle erupted, the sounds of slaughter reverberating throughout, one life after another falling, forever remaining here.

And as with the daytime, this attacking troop of tens of thousands, after a long fierce battle, still did not manage to capture Longnan City.

They suffered heavy casualties, nearly half lost their lives, and in the end, could only retreat.

The battle ended, Ji Chen stood atop the city wall from beginning to end, never making a move.

But continually summoning creatures from the Spirit Emperor Tower, the great consumption of the Spiritual Sea, also brought him significant enhancement.

Time passed, in the blink of an eye, seven days had gone by.

In these seven days, Longnan City was attacked almost daily.

But similarly, Ji Chen stood alone here, using demon beasts as his army, firmly held Longnan City, never letting it be breached.

By now, the war between the two realms had reached a fever pitch.

It is said that several cities in the Desolate Realm have already fallen, and the main force has completely retreated to Divine River City, preparing to face the impending final battle.

The battlefield is exceptionally intense and chaotic to the extreme.

Both sides have become bloodthirsty.

Places like Longnan City, due to its strategic location and great distance from Divine River City, have had no communication with Divine River City since the battle began.

Ji Chen defending the city alone, slaughtering over a hundred thousand or more Yu Realm cultivators.

But such news, aside from the Yu Realm, was unknown in the Desolate Realm.

In fact, in the eyes of the people of the Desolate Realm, after Qin Xuan and others withdrew, Longnan City had long been lost, and now the stationed forces must be from the Yu Realm, making it the first frontline of the Yu Realm.

Yet how would they know, until now, Longnan City remains solid, by Ji Chen’s power alone, holding steadfast until today.

"The final battle is approaching; it’s said that the three Emperor Marshals of the Yu Realm have all been deployed; this battle will concern the survival of countless beings in the Desolate Realm."

On this day, within an ancient hall of Divine River City.

The Nine Great Emperor Clans, including Venerable Supreme Qin Wenchang, have all appeared here.

They could foresee that this two-realm war would soon come to an end.

With the Yu Realm’s three Ancient Emperors deployed, the Desolate Realm will face a true catastrophe.
