Chapter 718: 574 Demon Clan Attack_2

The silver divine light moved quickly, but Jiang Chen was faster, managing to dodge every attack thrown at him.

But the assailant remained tenacious despite several failed attempts, continuously assembling the silver divine light and relentlessly bombarding Jiang Chen.

With the incessant attacks, Jiang Chen was forced to incessantly evade, unable to counterattack. He was now completely on the defensive.

Jiang Chen understood the adage: prolonged defense will inevitably lead to loss. Yet at this moment, he had no choice but to persist in his evasive maneuvers, completely devoid of any strength to retaliate.

After a while, Jiang Chen suddenly noticed something amiss. He realized that the assailant’s attacks were not aimless.

The attacker was trying to force him out of the Sun’s Divine Dao corridor, compelling him into the boundless starry sky.

Jiang Chen’s current location, known as the Sun’s Divine Dao, was an avenue created by Empress Nuwa, stretching from the Heaven Court to the Sun Star. Within this corridor, Empress Nuwa’s divine power provided protection, shielding him from the assaults of the boundless starry sky.

However, once he left this area, he would instantly enter the boundless starry sky. At that point, he would not only have to confront the enemy behind him but also face countless dangers from the boundless starry sky.

"What do they intend to do by forcing me into the boundless starry sky? Do they have some superior advantage there, which would ensure my capture?"

Upon understanding the abnormality, Jiang Chen began to ponder their motivations. First, they were dead set on driving him into the boundless starry sky, implying their advantage there.

Who could hold an advantage in the boundless starry sky? Either an Innate Star God or the Ancient Demon Clan!

The Innate Star Gods were nearly all dead or injured and had no grudge with Jiang Chen, hence they wouldn’t strike against him. Could it truly be that the demon clan was lunging at him?

As he reached this point, Jiang Chen abruptly turned around, looking at the silver light bombarding him.

"This aura, it feels oddly familiar?" Doubting in his heart, Jiang Chen decided to probe. After dodging yet another silver divine light attack, instead of continuing his escape, he quietly unleashed the Dao Mirror, capturing a strand of the silver light.

"This power, it’s the Light of the Cycle of the Heavenly Gods!"

"Yes, it’s indeed the Light of the Heavenly Cycle, one of the strongest divine abilities of the Demon Clan."

"Their appearance can be disguised, but their core base cannot. The Light of the Heavenly Cycle is formed by the power of the stars in the Heavenly Cycle. Although its appearance is constantly changing, its core is always the light of the stars in the Heavenly Cycle."

"So, it is indeed the Demon Clan that’s attacking me!"

At this point, Jiang Chen finally concluded that the one pursuing him from behind was an expert from the Demon Clan. No wonder the attacker wanted to force him into the boundless starry sky, or why they could launch a Quasi-Saint level attack. Everything made sense now.

The Demon Clan had dominated the boundless starry sky for countless years, having an unparalleled understanding of it. With a slight manipulation, they could utilize the force of the starry sky to exert a Quasi-Saint level of power.

This was also the reason why despite having a Quasi-Saint level of strength, the attacker was unable to capture Jiang Chen. Because this power wasn’t their own, using it didn’t go smoothly, presenting flaws, which gave Jiang Chen the chance to evade.

If it were a real Quasi-Saint attacking, Jiang Chen would have been suppressed long ago. The power of a Quasi-Saint was not something that an Innate Dao Sovereign could withstand.

"Members of the Demon Clan, is ambushing me in the boundless starry sky meant to provoke a war between the Demon Clan and the Human Race? Or do you truly believe that with the protection of Di Jun Taiyi, the Demon Clan won’t face extermination?"

"How ridiculous!"

"The Human Race has not struck the Demon Clan because you have not crossed our bottom line."

"If you truly cross that line, then the Human Race will surely eradicate the Demon Clan from the Prehistoric World at any cost. Even the resurrection of Di Jun Taiyi won’t change our determination."

"If you don’t want the Demon Clan to be implicated, take advantage of the fact that I have not yet discovered your identities and quickly disappear, returning to Heaven and Earth. Otherwise, when I uncover your true forms, that will be the time of the Demon Clan’s destruction."

Once he found out that his attacker was from the Demon Clan, Jiang Chen’s attitude suddenly became extremely firm. His threat couldn’t be more severe - he demanded the adversary to commit suicide or watch the Demon Clan perish.

Those unaware of the context, upon hearing Jiang Chen’s words, might think he was a great villain threatening others with their loved ones’ lives.

"Hiss..."

"This kid is so audacious, threatening to wipe out the Demon Clan. He really dares to say anything. Even the royals wouldn’t dare claim they could exterminate the Demon Clan."

In the void, the expert members of the Human Race who had witnessed the whole process gasped with surprise after hearing Jiang Chen’s words, thinking this young man was indeed terrifying.

A threat against Jiang Chen’s life is a serious matter that couldn’t be unknown to the expert members of the Human Race.

You should know, it is not the Quantitative Calamity period now, and the predictive arts of Innate Divination are extremely clear and accurate, leaving no room for error.

Even if someone wanted to hide such divine prediction, under the flourishing state of the Human Race, unless a saint took action personally, how could they could deceive the perception of the Human Race’s Fate?

Therefore, as soon as Jiang Chen appeared, the human experts received warnings from the human race’s Fate and rushed here immediately.

However, after rushing here, they did not rush to help Jiang Chen and instead quietly hid themselves, watching the development of the situation from a hidden place.

The explanation of their inaction lies with Jiang Xuan.

From the shadows, a human expert asked Jiang Xuan, "Brother Chengtian, are we sure we shouldn’t intervene?"

Jiang Xuan shook his head and casually said, "There’s no need. It’s just three Innate Dao Sovereigns. If he can’t handle that, how is he qualified to inherit the position of Jiang Family’s head?"

Hearing this, the person next to him couldn’t help but exclaim, "Brother Chengtian, those words are a bit excessive. Jiang Chen has only achieved Great Success in the Ancient Martial Arts, and he hasn’t truly acquired the realm of Innate Dao Sovereign, his strength at best matches up to a beginner at the Taoist Master Level."

"The three opponents each have at least two of the three flowers blossomed, they are all major experts at the Taoist Master Level, moreover, they are assisted by the power of the Boundless Starry Sky. Jiang Chen is already struggling in a one-on-one fight, not to mention a three-on-one situation."

When this person finished speaking, others immediately agreed, "What you said makes sense. It’s okay to be strict with the younger generation, but there’s a limit to the strictness!"

Despite the crowd trying to persuade him, Jiang Xuan remained unmoved and calmly said, "Stop. This calamity is nothing more than a minor test for Jiang Chen."

"If he can’t even overcome this, how will he confront Di Jun Taiyi when they return?"

"There are too many people who Jiang Chen has offended, and many want to kill him. We can’t protect him forever, nor can we help him forever. If we help him defeat his enemies this time, what about next time, and the time after that..."

"There will be times when we can’t take care of him. Therefore, Jiang Chen can only rely on himself, overcoming these calamities time and time again, showcasing his potential, and achieving growth."

"As for us, we only need to make a move at the most critical moments to save his life. For the rest, we can just watch quietly."

After Jiang Xuan finished speaking, everyone immediately fell silent. Indeed, Jiang Chen’s situation was peculiar. He didn’t need help from others because help from others would only harm him and make him complacent.

This, for him, was undoubtedly deadly.

"Brother Chengtian is right. We’ll just stand by and watch quietly. I’m really looking forward to it. I wonder what expression Jiang Chen will have and what he’ll say when he sees the appearance of the Demon Clan’s experts."

Another expert from the Human Race spoke up, his words carrying a little bit of schadenfreude.

From his words, it was clear that the situation wasn’t as simple as Jiang Chen had imagined. There might be problems with the Demon Clan experts who attacked Jiang Chen.

Immediately, everyone stopped talking and quietly looked at the field, anticipating Jiang Chen’s next performance.
