Chapter 1095 He wasn't waiting; he was directing reinforcements.

Purple Lightning Island.

The Thunder Riders' teleportation channel was also cut off.

The commander of the 50,000 Thunder Cavalry looked at the collapsing fissure before him and uttered only one word.

"rush."

Fifty thousand Thunder Iron Cavalry deployed in a charging formation in the void.

Their mounts were not ordinary warhorses, but thunder beasts unique to Purple Lightning Continent. When their four hooves touched the air, lightning would spring up beneath their feet, and their speed was so fast that only a fleeting afterimage could be caught by the naked eye.

The most magnificent beast under the command of the leader had a single horn on its head that flashed with dazzling purple lightning.

He lay prone on the back of the Thunder Beast, his spear pointing forward, its tip tearing through the void. He led his 50,000 iron cavalry like a purple lightning bolt, cleaving through the darkness surrounding the Sky-Patrol Continent.

The purple torrent vanished in an instant, leaving only trails of lightning in the void.

Meanwhile, in the distant void, new golden rifts are quietly opening, like stars lighting up the night sky.

This is not a rift belonging to the demon race, but rather a passage for reinforcements from the Sky Patrol Continent.

On the outskirts of Xuntian Continent, inside a void transfer station protected by multiple arrays.

Wen Liu, the deputy general of the Hanyue Army, stood in the core control room, with a miniature version of the Xuntian Continent array diagram floating in front of him, the light illuminating his focused and solemn face.

The map is marked with densely packed marching routes.

Each route leads to the same goal from different directions.

Tianyuan City.

His fingers tapped continuously on the array diagram. With each tap, a new golden rift opened precisely in the void, sending a new wave of reinforcements into the battlefield.

"Report!" A messenger's figure flashed beside the light screen, his voice urgent, "The second batch of 30,000 reinforcements from Qingyang Continent has successfully entered the transit station of Jinque Continent and is expected to arrive at the predetermined coordinates west of Tianyuan City in about an incense stick's time!"

Wen Liu's eyes sharpened, and he immediately drew a line on the map: "Good! Guide it into the seventh jump node to avoid the interference of demonic energy in the 'Black Abyss' area."

"Report! Urgent news from the Flying Feather Army of Crimson Cloud Continent!" Another light screen lit up, "The main force of the Flying Feather Army has crossed the airspace of the nineteen continents. The vanguard of ten thousand has entered the three continents surrounding Tianyuan City and is being strongly intercepted by the Demon Clan's 'Shadow Fang' Legion!"

"The Flying Feather Army commander has ordered the entire army to deploy the 'Sky-Breaking' formation and break through at all costs!"

Wen Liu frowned, his fingers moving rapidly across the map, calculating the Flying Feather Army's speed and the strength of the interception points: "Notify the Pan Shi Continent Immovable Army Reserve to move to the flank of 'Shadow Fang' to apply pressure and create a breakthrough window for the Flying Feather Army!"

"Report! Latest battle report from the Iron Wall Army of White Frost Continent!" A third voice rang out, "The main force of the Iron Wall Army, numbering 63,000, has successfully crossed the Void Abyss Rift Zone. On the way, they encountered spatial turbulence and a small group of demons ambushing them, suffering 3,700 casualties."

"We have now entered the 'Dragon-Severing Cliff' area on the outskirts of Tianyuan City and are seizing high ground and defensive positions!"

"Have them consolidate their positions and prioritize establishing temporary teleportation anchor points!" Wen Liu quickly gave the order, his gaze sweeping across the Iron Wall Army's location on the map. "'Dragon Cliff' is a key stronghold on the eastern front; it must be held!"

"Report! The vanguard of the Thunder Cavalry of Purple Lightning Continent has broken through the three lines of defense of the Demon Clan. The vanguard is less than 10,000 miles away from 'Cold Crow Crossing' north of Tianyuan City! The main force is accelerating its advance!"

A flicker of excitement flashed in Wen Liu's eyes: "Good! The Thunder Riders have lived up to expectations! Notify them that the 'Bloodfang' Legion of the Demon Army is gathering in the target area. We must break through their defenses before they complete their deployment!"

"The 120,000-strong main force of the Pan Shi Zhou Immovable Army has arrived at the 'Iron Wall' node. The military formation is complete, awaiting Venerable Xuan Jue's order to enter the formation!"

"The 60,000 elite troops of the Cloud Hidden Army of Liuyun Continent have entered the outer perimeter of the 'Misty Sea' and request guidance on the next steps!"

"The 90,000-strong Tidal Army of Canghai Continent has broken through the demonic blockade of the 'Shattered Star Belt' and is moving at high speed towards 'Raging Waves Bay'!"

"The 40,000 elite troops of the Gale Army of Fufeng Continent have arrived at Gale Valley and are ready to launch a surprise attack at any time!"

"The 80,000 Heavenly Soldiers of the Star Guard of Falling Star Continent have occupied the 'Star Gazing Platform' high ground, and the Starlight Matrix is ​​fully charged!"

One military report after another flooded into Wen Liu's ears like a tide. He was like the most precise hub, receiving, analyzing, and issuing new instructions, maintaining the coordinated operation of dozens of armies across the endless void.

These military reports, transmitted through a special communication array, traversed space and reached Xuan Jue's ears with crystal clarity atop Tianyuan City. He stood motionless on the city wall, the golden light map before him displaying dots representing reinforcements from all directions, converging on Tianyuan City as Wen Liu coordinated and the military reports were updated.

Some of the light spots were bright and stable, some flickered and moved, and some were surrounded by red ripples representing fierce battles.

But they were all moving; none of them stopped along the way.

Xuanjue remained silent, his expression calm and serene.

He simply marked new locations on the light map, a faint golden light flowing from his fingertips.

Each annotation precisely records the marching route, speed, and expected encounters of each reinforcement.

They overlapped, staggered, and overlapped again with the ever-evolving Demon Interception Force deployment map on the light map, searching for that fleeting opportunity.

The fingers moved so fast that they left a faint golden afterimage on the light map.

Time slipped away quietly amidst the tense scheduling and silent deductions, while the sounds of battle below the city walls seemed to fade into the background.

The third Netherworld Demon General was locked in combat with Xuan Qing. After a fierce clash, as he retreated, he inadvertently caught a glimpse of Xuan Jue's phantom-like movements on the city wall, and his pupils suddenly contracted.

He wasn't passively waiting for reinforcements.

He was directing reinforcements, ensuring that each wave of reinforcements precisely targeted the weakest link in the demon's defenses.

Even the Demon General could see it.

He took a deep breath, and the purple magic markings on his face twisted slightly.

He issued orders to the entire army, his voice losing its composure for the first time.

"Order—all interception lines to retreat thirty miles, contract the defenses, and vacate the outer perimeter of Tianyuan City."

"General?" The demon general behind him was taken aback. "Contract the defenses? Wouldn't that make Xuan Jue's reinforcements arrive easily—"

"Too easy to assemble?" The Demon Commander interrupted him, his voice icy. "Look at how they moved. The troops from Qingyang Continent crossed the Tianyuan Corridor, a path even we ourselves dare not tread."

"The Flying Feather Army of Crimson Cloud Continent has already flown across the airspace of the Nineteen Continents, and none of the three lines of interception we set up have stopped them."

"The Iron Wall Army has come through the Void Abyss Rift Zone, and has suffered less than 10% casualties."

"Thunder Cavalry has broken through four lines of defense! Four lines!"

“Xuan Jue has already deployed reinforcements to suppress every one of our ambush points. You’re saying he’s waiting for reinforcements?”

"He wasn't waiting; he was directing reinforcements."

“He’s using our blockade as a chessboard, placing the pieces in one by one.”

He paused, then squeezed out a sentence through gritted teeth.

"In that short period of time, his command range covered the airspace of dozens of continents surrounding the entire Sky Survey Continent."

"He personally orchestrated the marching routes, speeds, interceptions, and breakthrough opportunities of each reinforcement."

“His spiritual strength is sufficient to support such a massive command network. Of course he doesn’t move, because he doesn’t need to.”

The other demon generals remained silent for a moment.

Then they both looked up at the clouds.

There, in the direction of the Heavenly Palace Lingyun Hall.

"Xuanwu," the Demon Commander's voice was extremely low, "how much longer are you going to wait?" (End of Chapter)
