Chapter 297: Pure Frost Domain's Demons in Council

'Next, the Golden Cicada Umbra Shield Skill!' Without hesitation, Jiang Chen immediately began practicing the second cultivation method.

In terms of the Great Dao of Metal, he had already delved deep into its profound teachings. He had nearly mastered the principles related to 'Sharpness'.

Moreover, his theoretical grasp of the Golden Cicada Umbra Shield Skill had attained the great accomplishment-level.

Thus, the remaining energy in the Wordless Heavenly Jade proved ample.

The procedure for practicing the cultivation method mirrored his previous endeavors.

A wave of mystical energy emanated from the Wordless Heavenly Jade. Some seeped into his soul, while the remainder melded with his body.

In an instant, Jiang Chen had honed the Golden Cicada Umbra Shield Skill to the perfect-level stage.

Having perfected two Transcendence realm cultivation methods to this apex stage, one could surmise, even without direct observation, that Jiang Chen's combat capabilities had escalated to an awe-inspiring tier within the Early-stage Transcendence realm.

Should his cultivation base progress, the efficacy of these two methods will undoubtedly reveal even more potent effects.

Jiang Chen pondered, 'For the time being, I've reaped ample rewards from these methods.'

'Considering my other skills, like the invisibility granted by the Death Eclipsed Moon Dao Embryo, my dragon-human hybrid form, and the Burning World Raging Flames, vanquishing an average Early-stage Transcendence cultivator would be child's play!'

'Nether Soul Demon Clan, I trust you won't let me down. I anticipate you'll present numerous powerhouses from the Transcendence realm.' A spark of eagerness danced in Jiang Chen's eyes.

Promptly, Jiang Chen set about arranging the other treasures he'd gleaned from the inheritance peak.

Among them were pills safeguarded by Nangong Wan and Shangguan Ning's secret art, complemented by a selection of array, alchemy, and crafting manuals.

Jiang Chen reflected, 'The caliber and traits of these pills are fairly rudimentary; they're somewhat superfluous for someone of my stature.'

'I'd be wise to reserve them for my Dao Palace realm allies.'

'If any among them can ascend to the Transcendence realm, it would bolster my standing.'

'Regarding the array, alchemy, and crafting manuals, with the presence of Nangong Wan and Shangguan Ning, there's no pressing need for me to pore over them just yet.'

'I might contemplate immersing myself in them when the reservoir of the Wordless Heavenly Jade brims with surplus.'

Concluding his review, Jiang Chen stowed them away in the Heavenly Demon Hidden Heart Ring.

Next, he activated the transmission jade token and reached out to Ji Mingxiu.

Yet, this wasn't ordinary snow it bore streaks of black.

Stretching across the sprawling landscape, a dominating black-red glow covered everything. Every lifeform had been tainted by the Nether Demon Spiritual Qi!

On the Clear Frost Moon Plucking Peak, successive powerful Moon Plucking Heavenly Sect cultivators were turned into demonic practitioners, yielding before the ghostly figures of the Nether Soul Demon Clan.

At that time, inside the central hall of the Moon Plucking Heavenly Sect, a number of influential Nether Soul Demon Clan members convened.

One voiced out, "The Vibrant Blaze Domain has fallen back into human hands!"

"Ji Junhao met his end in that mysterious human Cave Heaven."

"He was truly reckless. It was evident that place belonged to the humans, and yet he brazenly ventured in with a pair of inept companions."

"We were forced to assist with a covert strike on the Vibrant Blaze Domain, leading to its swift capture. Ji Junhao sure has a knack for complications."

"With the Vibrant Blaze Domain reclaimed by humans and other domains on alert, staging another stealthy onslaught will become challenging."

Members of the demon race assembled in succession, deliberating over the humans regaining control of the Vibrant Blaze Domain.

Even though they were already privy to the situation, hearing it again made them scorn the departed Ji Junhao.

After a bout of contempt, silence enveloped the group once again.

"Enough about the Vibrant Blaze Domain." A Dao Palace realm demon interjected, "Our demon race's main army is mobilizing."

He went on, "The spatial passage in the Bottomless Abyss is widening too. Once our main force lands, the Immortal Martial Continent's conquest will be imminent."

"Isn't that obvious?" Another Dao Palace realm demon retorted, his face grave. "But if our main army arrives and witnesses the chaos we've caused, wouldn't that be shameful?"

Another demon from the Dao Palace realm chimed in, "We were the vanguard. Many of us arrived here."

"We initially assumed we'd effortlessly traverse a good portion of the Immortal Martial Continent, setting the stage for the main force. But the current state is far from that."

He hesitated, then remarked apprehensively, "I'm even fearful the Demon Lord might execute us."

"Indeed, before our main army gets here, we must show our worth!" Another agreed gravely.

"Show our worth? How now? By launching a direct assault on the Purple Heaven Holy Land?"

"That's bound to ignite a fierce confrontation. Some of us might meet the same fate as Long Tianlu and perish."

As the conversation progressed, the demons became deeply engrossed in the discussion.
