Chapter 2908: Chapter 2928: Immortal Demon Channel Permanently Open?

"You have just arrived at the Crimson Immortal Domain, and you might not be aware of the great war between immortals and demons. The origin of this war lies in the Immortal Demon Channel."

Shepherd Heavenly Monarch paused his ongoing task, his gaze resting on Lin Chen’s face, his tone gentle, "Originally, the Immortal Realm and the Demon World were two planes that did not intersect. However, under certain specific conditions, these two planes overlap, and the overlapping point is this Immortal Demon Channel."

"The Demon Race is mighty and belligerent. Compared to the Immortal Realm, the Demon World has a relatively harsh environment with scarce cultivation resources. Thus, the Demon World has always aimed to conquer the Immortal Realm as their highest objective."

"Every time the planes overlap and the Immortal Demon Channel opens, it marks the time when the Demon Race launches a major attack on the Immortal Realm. Our task is to hold the line firmly and prevent the Demon army from breaking through."

"As long as we hold the line, after a period, the overlapping planes will separate again, and the Immortal Demon Channel will also close."

"Since the Demon World discovered the Immortal Demon Channel and invaded the Immortal Realm, there have been twenty-seven wars, and the victor of all twenty-seven has been the Immortal Realm. No, to be precise, the Demon World has attacked twenty-seven times, and we have successfully defended twenty-seven times."

"Although we successfully defended against the Demon Race’s attacks in all twenty-seven battles, the cost of each was different. Even those defenses that seemed invincible were breached eight times."

"Every time a defense line is breached, it means that the situation on the battlefield is extremely dire and requires the death of many more people to deplete the attacking Demons, buy time, and brutally drag it out until the channel closes, forcing the Demon army to retreat. If they do not retreat, once the channel closes, those without any reinforcements are destined to be utterly annihilated."

Lin Chen listened to Shepherd Heavenly Monarch’s explanation, imagining the grand defense line being overwhelmingly breached by the dense Demon Race, and his mood also became heavy.

An inch of mountains and rivers for an inch of blood, many immortals have held this line, and the collapse of the defense line means the death of countless immortals.

Shepherd Heavenly Monarch sighed, "If the opening of the Immortal Demon Channel always followed a fixed pattern, perhaps we wouldn’t be so anxious. After all, with the channel in a fixed location, the defense holds an advantage."

"This is also why, regardless of how dire the battle situation became, we managed to defend successfully and achieve victory twenty-seven times."

Lin Chen couldn’t help asking, "Has something changed with the Immortal Demon Channel?"

"It’s not that it has changed now, but that the Immortal Demon Channel has always been changing!"

Shepherd Heavenly Monarch casually took out a Jade Slip and tossed it to Lin Chen, "This is the schedule of the twenty-seven battles, take a look, do you notice any changes?"

Lin Chen caught the Jade Slip, his Divine Sense entering it, reading the information within.

"Red History 79002, the first opening of the Immortal Demon Channel, initially a few demons passed through the channel and clashed with the local powers, the Chentian Sect. Subsequently, a large number of demons invaded, instantly annihilating Chentian Sect, marking the beginning of the first great war between immortals and demons..."

"Red History 84028, the second time the Immortal Demon Channel opened. Due to the first war, the Immortal Realm was already on guard, and a great battle erupted over the Immortal Demon Channel..."

"Red History 88782, the third great war between immortals and demons..."

"Red History 93132, the fourth great war between immortals and demons..."

Each war was fierce, but as Shepherd Heavenly Monarch had said, no matter the cost, the Immortal Realm achieved twenty-seven defensive victories, firmly blocking the invasion steps of the Demon Race.

As Lin Chen read line by line, he suddenly paused, a shocked expression appearing in his eyes.

How come the numbers of these dates are getting closer together?

Lin Chen quickly calculated, the interval between the first and the second war was 5026 years, between the second and the third was 4754 years, and between the third and the fourth war was 4350 years!

The last war was just one thousand years ago!

Lin Chen suddenly looked up, "The opening times of the Immortal Demon Channel are continuously shortening!"

Shepherd Heavenly Monarch sighed, "Yes, that is what we are most worried about. The interval between channel openings has shrunk from five thousand years to just a thousand years now. Not only that, but you have also found demons in the Bitter Sea Immortal Domain, something that never happened before!"

As Lin Chen listened to Shepherd Heavenly Monarch, considering the possible major changes, he also felt his scalp tingle.

"If this continues, will the two planes permanently overlap, keeping the Immortal Demon Channel permanently open?"

Shepherd Heavenly Monarch nodded, "Yes, that is the worst-case scenario. Given the occurrence of demons in the Bitter Sea Immortal Domain, we fear that there might be some other terrible situations happening that we are not aware of..."
