CHAPTER 3292: CHAPTER 3312: IF YOU GO, THERE MIGHT BE SOME HOPE!

"This ancestral land is not something I can return to at will, not to mention, it’s so far from here. Even if I return, even if the ancestral land agrees, I have no idea how much time it would take for a round trip..."

Chi Zai answered with difficulty, "Besides, I don’t think the Clan Chief has any means to deal with the Abyss Demon Clan. If there were a way, the Clan Chief wouldn’t have hidden the ancestral land so thoroughly for fear of being discovered by the Abyss Demon."

The hope that had just risen in Lin Chen’s heart was instantly dampened, but he still refused to give up and said, "This war will certainly continue, and for a long time. If we can know the enemy’s background and come up with an effective way to deal with them, even if we have retreated from one Immortal Domain after another, we still have a chance to turn the tables."

After a pause, Lin Chen said gravely, "Senior, this matter concerns the life and death of both the Immortal and Demon Worlds, it’s extremely important. Even if there’s only a sliver of hope, it should be tried."

Chi Zai said helplessly, "I’ve just undergone a long interstellar travel, consuming a lot. I can’t do another interstellar travel in the short term. Even if you want me to return, you’d have to wait until I recover, or I might end up dying in the starry sky."

Lin Chen asked, "How long does Senior need to recover?"

Chi Zai sighed, "A long time, I guess you can’t afford to wait. It’s not that I’m shirking, but each time we return to the ancestral land, it takes a huge toll. After all, the journey is too far, even with jumping points in between, it’s not an easy task."

Lin Chen understood the consumption Chi Zai mentioned, thought for a moment, and said, "Then, can you tell us the route, let Shepherd Heavenly Monarch, let the Immortal Emperor send people to your ancestral land to meet your Clan Chief?"

"Their strength is greater than yours, completing this interstellar travel should be easier for them."

Chi Zai shook his head without hesitation, "No, we Starry Sky Demon Beast Clan have a primary rule which is not to disclose the ancestral land to others. Once the ancestral land is leaked, it could lead to the calamity of extermination for the clan. I do wish to help, but I can’t put my Starry Sky Demon Beast Clan at risk."

Lin Chen was somewhat troubled: "Isn’t there a compromise? We only wish to inquire about matters concerning the Abyss Demon, there’s no intention to pry into the Starry Sky Demon Beast’s ancestral land..."

Chi Zai thought for a moment, his gaze fell on Lin Chen, "Why don’t you go? You have helped Tia, and saved me, so you have some ties with the Starry Sky Demon Beast Clan. Without entering the ancestral land, you might have a chance to ask some questions, the Clan Chief might answer you. Yes, I mean you could seek Tia for help, his father is the Starry Sky Demon Beast’s greatest warrior, with this relation, perhaps there’s some opportunity..."

Lin Chen agreed without hesitation, "Alright, I’ll go."

Chi Zai looked at Lin Chen, then shook his head again, "But you are not a Space Divine Ability User, to cross the starry sky on your own slowly flying, you might not even reach before the seas run dry."

Lin Chen replied, "In the Demon World, I came across an opportunity, gained the Space Jump divine power, as long as there’s a Star Mark, and the distance is within my capability, I can jump across the starry sky directly."

Chi Zai’s eyes widened, "Space Jump? Star Chart Spirit?"

Lin Chen’s eyes widened too, "Senior knows about the Star Chart Spirit?"

Chi Zai laughed, "Of course, Space Jump is the unique divine power of the Star Chart Spirit. If someone is fortunate to gain a Star Chart Spirit and it acknowledges and follows them, they gain the ability to roam the starry sky freely. You’ve never been to the starry sky, where did you get the Star Chart Spirit?"

Lin Chen sighed, "The Great Wilderness Saint in the Demon World got a Star Chart Spirit in the starry sky, and by a stroke of luck, it is temporarily following me, thus I temporarily possess the ability to Space Jump."

Chi Zai’s large eyes were filled with envy, "You kid, your Immortal Fate is truly strong! Since that’s the case, you can naturally give it a try. I have a corresponding Star Mark here, you can follow this Star Mark, it won’t take long!"

Lin Chen nodded, "Alright, I still need to consult the Immortal Emperor first regarding this matter."

Chi Zai curled his lips, "Suit yourself, but let me tell you, if you go, there’s a bit of a chance, if someone else goes, there might not be any chance at all."

...

"Retreat!"

"Fall back to Camp No.1!"

As Shepherd Heavenly Monarch’s voice echoed through the sky, many Quasi-Saints engaged in battle retreated one after another.

The Quasi-Saints exhibited their divine powers, either passing through space directly, using teleportation tools, or employing ultra-fast escape techniques. In the blink of an eye, there were no longer any signs of the Immortal and Demon Worlds’ Quasi-Saint Alliance on the once fiercely fought battlefield.

In the sky, the battling Saints also chose to retreat, and the Demon Lords pursued for a distance before giving up, for even if they continued the chase, there was no chance of victory.

The Saints from the Immortal and Demon Worlds joined forces, which was no small foe to handle.

Once one reaches the Saint realm, defeating the opponent is easy, but to kill them is extremely difficult, let alone when the opponent is a group of Saints.

During this time, five Saints did not sit idle because of the Abyss Lord’s appearance. After some simple healing and discussion, they finally decided to launch an assault, aiming to destroy all Purple Crystal Pillars.

Although a demon comparable to a Saint was asleep in the Purple Crystal Pillars, from the occurrences in the two times the Purple Crystal Pillars broke, even if these asleep demons awaken, they would be uncontrollable, blindly slaughtering, attacking all who they could see.

If more of these mad demons showed up, what would become of them?

Self-slaughter?

Besides, the Saints were very wary of the Abyss Lord’s arrival. Based on the last event of Abyss Lord’s descent, it requires a strong energy supply, and the sleeping demons in the Purple Crystal Pillars were the best offerings.

Thus, the role of these sleeping demons was not just for energy circulation but probably served as sacrifices for the Abyss Lord’s descent. With these sleeping demons, the Abyss Lord could descend smoothly inside each Purple Crystal Pillar.

Following this train of thought, the Purple Crystal Pillars were essentially extensions of the Abyss Lord’s will. What if all Purple Crystal Pillars were destroyed?

Though it’s uncertain whether this method would work, the Saints were truly reluctant to face the Abyss Lord again.

Since evasion is not a solution, destroy the Purple Crystal Pillars and see the outcome.

Remembering past events, the Saints dared not approach the pillars, thus, during the assault, the Saints fought fiercely in outer space, holding back all Demon Lords. The Quasi-Saints, meanwhile, attacked the demon generals and servants guarding the columns, then the pre-selected Quasi-Saints responsible for assaulting, used their divine powers to launch a sudden attack on the pillars.

Once a pillar is destroyed, all would retreat immediately, never lingering in battle.

What about the awakening demons after they retreat?

Let them awaken, it doesn’t matter, we’re running first anyway.

During this period, the Saints launched four assaults, all quite successful, successfully demolishing four Purple Crystal Pillars.

After the destruction of the Purple Crystal Pillars, the changes in landscape were halted, but all the life force that had been consumed could not return, leaving only a devastated world.

Sacred Heart Fairyland is destined to be destroyed in this chaos.

This is a calamity that cannot be avoided.

Although everyone is fighting, in the midst of battle, there is a sense of confusion.

Is there a way to resolve this calamity?
