I Can Travel between Two Worlds

Chapter 546: Chapter 66: The Annihilation of Qing State’s Demon Path in One Month (Part 2)

Thinking of this, Lin Chen nodded and with a wave of his hand, brought Wang Lishan into the Profound Celestial Small World.

Under the watchful eyes of the Great Xia’s high-level officials, Lin Chen glanced at the countdown on his arm.

"3, 2, 1..."

...

In the Cultivation Realm, within a cave abode.

Lin Chen successfully returned, and with a thought, appeared in the Profound Celestial Small World.

Over ten thousand Martial Artists followed Lin Chen to the Cultivation Realm, all currently within the Profound Celestial Small World.

Years ago, Lin Chen had already devised a plan for swiftly annihilating the Demon Path in Qing State. He didn’t intend to directly throw ten thousand Martial Artists onto the Qing State battlefield because the Demon Path there had support from Spirit Realm cultivators. Once the battle line was extended, Spirit Realm cultivators could likely intervene. Therefore, Lin Chen decided on a quick and decisive battle.

His goal was to eradicate the Demon Path in Qing State within three months.

To achieve this, conventional methods were clearly infeasible. The Demon Path forces in Qing State spanned extremely wide, with a hundred thousand miles of territory almost entirely occupied by the Demon Path. Under normal circumstances, forget annihilating the Demon Path, even for Nascent Soul cultivators, it would be difficult to traverse this vast territory in three months.

Therefore, the only way was to rely on Lin Chen’s extremely high mobility. With his current Unity Stage cultivation, he could cross Qing State from east to west in a single day. Meanwhile, the ten thousand Martial Artists could remain in the Profound Celestial Small World, ready to engage in battle at any moment.

It was as if Lin Chen carried ten thousand Martial Artists with him; wherever he went, he could release them to quickly annihilate the Demon Sect.

And on this premise, an even better plan was possible.

That was multi-pronged warfare: nine thousand Martial Artists divided into three corps, enabling a three-front battle.

At this time, Wang Lishan was making pre-battle arrangements within the Profound Celestial Small World.

Over the years, various intelligence on the Nether Realm’s demon cultivator army had already been fully acquired by this corps.

...

Half a day later, Lin Chen led a team of dozens to a desolate location.

Afterwards, through the efforts of experts, another satellite was launched into space.

Decades ago, Lin Chen had launched a satellite that could rapidly gather intelligence on the entire Demon Path in Qing State.

However, it was later destroyed by the Profound Celestial Treasure Mirror.

But it wasn’t immediately destroyed upon launch; there was a month’s interval.

This period was enough for the satellite to gather sufficient intelligence.

As the saying goes, know yourself and your enemy, and you can be victorious in a hundred battles. It was now necessary to use technological means to quickly ascertain the positions and strength distribution of the entire Demon Path army in Qing State.

Thus, in the blink of an eye, seven days had passed.

...

During these seven days, Lin Chen fully acquired the distribution of the entire Demon Path army in Qing State.

Then, the formal action began.

Lin Chen first arrived in the Western Domain of Qing State, the farthest from the Demon Sect’s main stronghold, where the influence of the Nether Realm was weakest.

Even so, the entire Western Domain of Qing State was occupied by the Demon Sect, with dozens of cities and a total of tens of thousands of Demon Path armies.

Among these tens of thousands of demon path armies, there were no fewer than ten Nascent Soul cultivators, and over three hundred Golden Core cultivators.

This could definitely be considered a dominant force in Qing State.

But unfortunately, in comparison with the power Lin Chen brought, it was vastly inferior!

As many as nine thousand of Great Xia’s Immortal Martial Dual Cultivators, with Martial Arts Realm at Martial Sect level and cultivation above Golden Core, set out together.

They chose the best routes based on the satellite intelligence, dividing into nine routes.

And on the day before the official start of the battle, they set up ambushes in advance.

Then, using long-distance communication methods.

With Wang Lishan’s order, all nine armies launched their attacks simultaneously.

This was a one-sided massacre!

Within the demon path armies, there indeed were powerful figures, Golden Core, Nascent Soul cultivators.

But unfortunately, Lin Chen brought only elites!

Thus, it took only one two-hour period.

Nine cities of the Nether Realm in the Western Domain of Qing State were simultaneously destroyed.

Over twenty thousand demon cultivators perished, with few survivors left.

As for the tactical deployment, it was too simple.

The first wave of Celestial Thunder Master explosions simultaneously ignited in nine cities.

Cultivators below the Golden Core were almost entirely wiped out.

Then, Great Xia’s cultivators stepped in to pursue those higher realm cultivators.

Eventually, the battle concluded in two two-hour periods.

Over three hundred Golden Core cultivators of the demon path army were killed, and all ten Nascent Soul cultivators died.

The casualties among Great Xia’s cultivators were only seventy-three.

A nearly one to three hundred loss ratio, yet Wang Lishan was still somewhat dissatisfied.

After a mere two-hour rest, the nine armies set out again, heading towards the nearest Demon Sect cities.

Before the war began, Lin Chen had already received the most detailed intelligence.

The number of cities the Demon Sect held in the Western Domain of Qing State totaled twenty-seven.

This martial artist corps, divided into nine routes, could annihilate three demon cultivator cities per group.

Factoring in travel time, they aimed to eradicate the main forces of the demon path in the Western Domain of Qing State within twelve two-hour periods.

This was undoubtedly an extremely difficult task.

Both for cultivators and for regular armies.

In the Cultivation Realm, the tunneling speed of cultivators was sufficient, enabling Golden Core cultivators to travel and fight across three cities within twelve two-hour periods.

But unfortunately, neither the Righteous sect disciples, demon cultivators, nor Loose Cultivators had such high execution capabilities.

Cultivators are, after all, accustomed to idleness.

For armies, though, execution capability and absolute obedience are sufficient.

But alas, they lack such high mobility.

Except for the nine thousand-strong army Lin Chen brought.

Nine thousand troops, all above mid-Golden Core stage, with absolute obedience to orders.

To accomplish all this within twelve two-hour periods.

It was enough!

Thus, in just one day and night, the entire Western Domain of Qing State, changed completely.

The Western Domain of Qing State, the twenty-seven cities of the demon path, were all eradicated.

Over ninety-nine percent of the demon cultivators were killed.

Only a few stragglers and small demon forces managed to escape.

But even achieving this was enough.

At the same time, all the resources in the twenty-seven cities were ransacked and seized by this nine thousand-strong army.

It was equivalent to capturing all the resources of the Demon Sect in the entire Western Domain.

The wealth accumulated in this was so tempting that even Lin Chen was moved by it.

When Demon Monarch Huiyue received the news of the Western Domain’s twenty-seven cities being destroyed, Lin Chen had already slipped thousands of miles away.

Appearing within a thousand miles of the former Tunnel City.

At the same time, Lin Chen dispatched Martial Arts Puppets to share intelligence with the martial artists of the Loose Cultivator Alliance.

There were still remnants of demon cultivators in the Western Domain of Qing State that Lin Chen didn’t have time to clean up and eliminate one by one.

But conveniently, the martial artists and cultivators of the Loose Cultivator Alliance were best suited for this task.

No need for Lin Chen to fan the flames further.

Upon receiving the intelligence, the four factions of the Loose Cultivator Alliance immediately contacted the Western Domain’s routes and began hunting down those demon remnants.

...

A thousand miles outside Tunnel City, Lin Chen was planning the second operation.

Tunnel City was different from the Western Domain of Qing State though.

It was much closer to the Demon Sect headquarters, with a higher likelihood of receiving reinforcements.

The demon army in the whole of Tunnel City numbered over a hundred thousand.

Among them were more than a thousand cultivators above the Golden Core stage.

This was the true strength of the Demon Sect in Qing State!

Over the past few decades, the power of the Nether Realm cultivators had grown terrifyingly through the Blood Pill.

Continuous blood sacrifices, growth...

The Demon Path of the entire Qing State had become a colossal entity.

In a head-to-head clash, nine thousand against a hundred thousand, it was undoubtedly at a disadvantage, especially since the demon cultivators of Tunnel City could receive reinforcements at any time.

But Lin Chen had an advantage too, his greatest advantage was his complete knowledge of the enemy’s intelligence and distribution.

The satellite above could provide the most accurate intelligence.

Upon acquiring this intelligence, Wang Lishan quickly set up a remarkable strategy.

He would split the nine thousand-strong army into two forces.

One force of six thousand would be the main force, primarily attacking Tunnel City.

The other force of three thousand would feign an attack on Human Path City!

The reason Wang Lishan did this was simple.

Tunnel City and Human Path City were only a few thousand miles apart.

Once Tunnel City was attacked, the demon army in Human Path City would inevitably rush to its aid first.

Rather than waiting for the reinforcements, it was better to take the initiative and engage the enemy with a small force.

Therefore, without external reinforcement, six thousand would be enough to annihilate the demon cultivators in Tunnel City!
