Jade Star Lord had shown considerable care for Lin Chen, and now that he had returned from his mission, Lin Chen took the initiative to pay a visit, purely out of the younger generation's courtesy, but he did not expect to gain an unexpected reward.

After presenting the Cicada Shedding Seal, Jade Star Lord also reminded Lin Chen that war was about to start soon, and to be extra careful in battle.

As the Vice Commander of the First Corps, Lin Chen naturally could not stand idly by; he would surely take on significant responsibilities, which also meant he would face strong enemies.

Perhaps this was also why Jade Star Lord gifted the Cicada Shedding Seal to Lin Chen.

Lin Chen did not wait too long before he quickly received notice.

As of today, the War God Mansion's entire military is to strike back in full force!

Retake lost territory!

The First Corps also received its combat mission, starting from Lion Soul Mountain, advancing 30,000 li to the east, shattering the obstructing Demon Clan army, and tearing apart the enemy's defense lines.

Jiang Yunfeng gathered ten large team leaders and relayed the combat mission.

"This battle is a fight for the First Corps to reshape its military spirit. We must not only win but win cleanly and decisively. We must let those demons know that land occupied by mere tricks cannot be defended. The Immortal Realm is not where the Demon Race belongs!"

Jiang Yunfeng's eyes swept over everyone: "I'll lead the charge, and all you need to do is follow me and break through!"

After the combat meeting concluded, Jiang Yunfeng asked Lin Chen to stay.

"I'll take the lead in charging; you watch the overall situation. Wherever support is needed, you'll move there. Any questions?"

Lin Chen replied straightforwardly, "No problem, I guarantee to complete the mission."

Jiang Yunfeng patted Lin Chen on the shoulder: "I'm counting on you."

Jiang Yunfeng wanted Lin Chen to support the overall situation, which required not just Lin Chen's strength but also the help of several Quasi-Saints by Lin Chen's side.

Lin Chen had two Quasi-Saints residing in his magical treasure, and together with his two wives, the four Quasi-Saints combined were powerful enough to turn the tide even on this vast battlefield strewn with strong adversaries.

Together with Jiang Yunfeng and Master Floating Cloud, the First Corps had a total of six Quasi-Saints. This combat power was utterly overwhelming since corps battles are primarily below the level of Quasi-Saints.

Quasi-Saints engaging in battle usually involve group movements and mutual efforts in important locations. Which family would equip a corps with six accompanying Quasi-Saints?

All the corps began urgent mobilization, and a day later, the order to attack came down.

All the corps launched their attacks simultaneously. At the same time, the assault units composed of Quasi-Saints, with their overwhelming aura, swept across the sky towards the Demon Race's battle lines.

The great battle erupted!

The First Corps advanced their battle line, with Jiang Yunfeng at the forefront, leading the corps onward.

Lin Chen was not idle, either; his figure flickered along the extended battle line. Whenever he found the offensive encountering resistance, he would stop and join the battle with his personal guard.

Zhen Liuxue and Duan Tian were also among the personal guard. With several Quasi-Saints working together, they could tear apart the battle line and open up the situation in the blink of an eye.

Lin Chen and his group repeatedly crushed the Demon Race's tenaciously defended lines. The retreating demons swiftly called for reinforcements, and soon enough, Quasi-Saints from the Demon Clan came to aid.

Reinforcements arrived, but regrettably, they weren't enough!

Two Quasi-Saints that came to assist were surrounded and attacked by four Quasi-Saints, frightening them into turning tail and fleeing. Even so, they sustained injuries before they could escape, as Zhen Liuxue's Time Divine Ability was too mysterious and difficult to defend against.

The First Corps made swift and fierce progress, and due to their large number of Quasi-Saints, they quickly completed their combat mission of a 30,000-li assault, occupying the original Hongtian Sect headquarters.

The Hongtian Sect had been occupied by the Demon Clan and used as a military command center. Now that it had been broken through by the First Corps, it returned to the hands of the War God Mansion.

Lin Chen and Jiang Yunfeng met again, with Jiang Yunfeng's eyes excited and his face showing a pathologically red flush.

"We did it!"

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "I just asked about the casualties, and they're not severe. All went smoothly."

Jiang Yunfeng laughed heartily: "Thanks to you, otherwise, it wouldn't have been so easy. Despite having trained for a long time, real combat on the battlefield is still different. With all of you lending a hand, this battle has become a breeze. Our soldiers gained actual combat experience, and the next time they encounter the enemy, things will be much better."

Lin Chen replied modestly: "It's my duty, Team Leader, there's no need for formalities with me."

Jiang Yunfeng said with a laugh: "I'll make sure to report your merits."

Lin Chen nodded with a smile, knowing there was no shame in accepting deserved rewards for contributions made.

Jiang Yunfeng's demeanor was exhilarated: "If every battle goes like today's, we will soon reclaim the Crimson Immortal Domain and drive the Demon Race back to the Demon World."

Lin Chen, however, was not particularly excited; after all, the current victory was only temporary.

Even if they keep winning and push the Demon Race all the way back through the passage, they would only return to square one.

If the Immortal Realm pushes the fight back to the Immortal Demon Channel, could they continue advancing into the Demon World?

Wouldn't the final victory still depend on the Saints?

As for matters concerning the Saints, Lin Chen couldn't intervene; he only focused on what was in his control—earning military merits, cultivation, enhancing his strength.

Seeing Lin Chen's calm expression, Jiang Yunfeng laughed and asked: "What, not happy?"

Lin Chen looked up towards the distant horizon and said: "I am happy, but just a bit worried about the situation with the Quasi-Saints. After all, we need them to win in the end."

Jiang Yunfeng was full of confidence: "Don't worry, it's in the bag."

Surprised, Lin Chen turned and asked, "In the bag? You're that confident?"

"Is there something I don't know about?"

Jiang Yunfeng responded: "It's not exactly a profound secret, it was just classified before the battle. Now that the battle has begun, secrets don't matter anymore... The Immortal Emperor has sent his disciples to support, participating in this counterattack!"

Lin Chen's eyes widened: "The Immortal Emperor's disciples have come? Which one?"

"All three!" Jiang Yunfeng replied. "They've all arrived. That's why I'm saying this battle is as good as won."

All three have come?

That's a firm resolve to recover lost ground.

Without absolute confidence, why would the Immortal Emperor dispatch all three disciples?

Lin Chen asked: "Is there a chance to meet them? I've heard of their great reputations, each incredibly powerful with earth-shattering abilities..."

Jiang Yunfeng thought for a moment: "For others, perhaps there wouldn't be a chance, but you should be able to. Just wait."

Lin Chen said with a laugh: "Great, if there's a chance, I also want to see the world."

Jiang Yunfeng laughed: "Just wait, the battle over there might end shortly too."

...

Above the dome of the sky, towering figures radiated terrifying auras, Magical Treasures with the power to destroy everything flashed across the air, then collided with each other, tearing the entire space apart.

In the Demon Race's camp, a purple-haired demon man bellowed: "Shepherd Heavenly Monarch, to think that you people alone can defeat us is pure wishful thinking!"

Standing in the front lines of the Human Clan's Quasi-Saint camp was the Master of War God Mansion, Shepherd Heavenly Monarch, with towering Dharma Aspects behind him, piercing the Heaven and Earth.

His expression was serene, not bothering to reply.

Suddenly, a seven-colored radiance flashed in the Nine Heavens above; a seven-colored rainbow instantly spanned the sky dome, arriving in a blink from a distant land, striking the Black War Blade conjured by the purple-haired demon man.

"Would it be enough if I joined as well?"
