Chapter 617: The Horn of Counterattack

"It really is the Wuji Immortal Body."

"What a pity, what a pity. If only it were a male."

"The physical structures of male and female cultivators are different. I am not one of those perverts from the Demon Race. If I borrow your body, I fear it will take a long time to adapt."

Pangu Continent.

After the five great Demon Generals and the Demon army retreated, the Immortal Cultivation Alliance was finally able to catch its breath.

Contact with the outside world was also gradually restored.

After spending some time, the Nine-Turn Star Lord successfully found the Wuji Fairy, the body urgently needed by this upper-realm immortal.

At such a critical moment, the Wuji Fairy had no choice but to agree to let this remnant soul of an immortal occupy her body.

Letting this immortal remnant soul occupy her body for a while was better than losing this war.

If they let the Heavenly Demon Sect win the final victory, what awaited them would be the complete seizure of their physical bodies. But now, her soul and consciousness would not dissipate; they would merely reside deep within her body, handing over control of the physical form.

Once the immortal soul departed, she could regain control of her body.

It was much like being temporarily possessed by a ghost.

Even so, why was this immortal so vulgar in speech? It completely wasted Li Tianyi’s righteous appearance. The Wuji Fairy really wanted to ask.

"Immortal, I leave it to you." The Wuji Fairy looked at the "Li Tianyi" before her and bowed slightly.

"Rest assured. While I cannot guarantee your body will be unscathed after the battle, I will definitely deal a heavy blow to the Heavenly Demon Sect. Even if you die, you will die for a worthy cause!"

"My experience in immortal arts and your Wuji Immortal Body are the only means in this lower realm to counter the King-Blood Demon Race!" Chen Shengtian declared.

The surrounding leaders of the Immortal Cultivation Alliance naturally believed this without question.

If Chen Shengtian hadn't used Li Tianyi’s body to turn the tide, Pangu Continent would have definitely fallen by now.

"Then, Immortal, we shall take our leave." The Wuji Fairy’s master, the Nine-Turn Star Lord, sighed. He was concerned for his disciple's fate, but there was no other way now.

Even physiques like the Chaos Immortal Body or the Eternal Immortal Bone were looked down upon by this immortal; he insisted on the Wuji Immortal Body. Perhaps this was the destiny of the Wuji Immortal Body.

But... using the Wuji Immortal Body to face the five great Demon Generals—judging by Chen Shengtian’s tone, he could only call it a gamble; he had no absolute certainty. What would the fate of the lower realm truly be?

Just as the leaders were about to withdraw and let the immortal change shells, the Wan Ling Daoist Nun’s expression suddenly changed.

"Wait, wait a moment!!!"

"What is it?" With the connection to the outside world restored, the Wan Ling Daoist Nun’s many spiritual manifestations guarded various teleportation arrays, allowing her to receive intelligence from the outside world and various allied realms at the first opportunity.

Chen Shengtian looked at her: "Could it be that there is news of Lin Jing? Come to think of it, he possesses holy power and would actually be a very good vessel. If the Wuji Immortal Body were used as the primary, and the holy body as a backup, the probability of repelling the five great Demon Generals would be even greater!"

"It is a pity that this fellow was targeted by the five great Demon Generals. I don't know if he can escape and return safely."

The Wan Ling Daoist Nun spoke with a grave expression: "It is indeed news regarding Lin Jing... After the five great Demon Generals retreated, they headed straight for the Heavenly Demon Realm. It was indeed because Lin Jing appeared, attacked the Heavenly Demon Realm alone, and forced the five great Demon Generals to withdraw their troops."

"Great courage." Chen Shengtian showed an expression of admiration.

"If this war can be won, this kid deserves much of the credit, but..."

Attacking the Heavenly Demon Realm alone and then facing the returning five Demon Generals—the leaders present felt that Lin Jing was in grave danger. Although he had indeed bought crucial time for Pangu Continent, he had also placed himself in a situation of certain death.

The Wan Ling Daoist Nun said skeptically: "I cannot judge the truth of the following intelligence..."

"The intelligence claims that Lin Jing... not only wiped out all the Demon Race in the Heavenly Demon Realm but also fought the five returning Demon Generals alone. In the end... three died and two fled. Lin Jing has already occupied the Demon Realm!"

"This intelligence says that after occupying the Heavenly Demon Realm, Lin Jing himself used the cross-realm teleportation array of the Heavenly Demon Realm to teleport to the heavens. He is now... pursuing the fleeing Demon Generals and wants us, the Immortal Cultivation Alliance, to launch a counterattack against the Heavenly Demons in every star region as soon as possible!"

When the Wan Ling Daoist Nun finished speaking, the scene fell into silence.

Several leaders wore expressions of disbelief, and Chen Shengtian felt it was utterly absurd.

"You say that he, alone, while fighting the entire Heavenly Demon Realm, also killed three of the five returning Demon Generals—the five who possess King-Blood power? And the remaining two were scared off?"

"This intelligence is as fake as it gets. Even if I had come down in my own body, I wouldn't dare say I could achieve this!" This was a single person, after all.

He had borrowed Li Tianyi’s body and was able to play a huge role in the previous battles, but it was not his own credit alone.

The Fishing Elder, the Eternal Emperor, the Wan Ling Daoist Nun, many vice-leaders, and countless Dao-Seeking cultivators had all played crucial roles.

"How can it be proven?" The Eternal Emperor, majestic as an emperor, asked sternly.

"Master..." At this moment, Li Tianyi’s soul and consciousness began to fight for control of his body: "In Lin Jing’s mouth, there is the 'Immortal Bait' gifted by my master. We can wake up my master, who is in seclusion healing, and have him try to contact Lin Jing."

"Although it will affect Master's healing, if it is true, Lin Jing might be able to cure Master's poison."

The leaders looked at each other, all feeling this intelligence was too outrageous. The method proposed by Li Tianyi was indeed a good one. Although the Fishing Elder was poisoned and severely injured, at this realm, he wouldn't die immediately; at most, it would shorten his lifespan. If they could clarify the truth of such critical intelligence, it was entirely worth it.

"There is such a thing." Chen Shengtian still didn't quite believe it, but he listened to Li Tianyi’s suggestion. A moment later, the Fishing Elder, who was in seclusion healing from the poison, was awakened by the crowd, looking frail.

"Alliance Leader Yu, we will suppress the poison for you and transmit spiritual power. You use the immortal artifact to try again and see if you can contact Lin Jing!"

"I will try." The Fishing Elder coughed up poisonous blood, also shocked by this intelligence. With the help of the others, he took out the Treasure-Fishing Immortal Rod. He had been unable to contact Lin Jing through this rod before, but this time...

Boom.

As the rod was cast, a huge spatial vortex appeared in the sky. Seeing this, the Fishing Elder was startled; this time, it could resonate with the Immortal Bait!

However, just like the first time, Lin Jing did not respond to the rod's summons; he only sent a message through this treasure.

"Finally, there is a reaction. Alliance Leader Yu, have you received the intelligence I transmitted? I am currently pursuing two Demon Generals who fled using secret arts. Now is the best time to counterattack the Demon Race. Please do not delay the war; act immediately and launch the counterattack."

"My strength alone is limited; the rest can only be left to you all."
