Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

Chapter 799: Chapter 720: Ascending the Pinnacle

At that time, when Tan Shuangshuang was tired, she could smoothly hand over and rest with others. Now, she alone has the combined attack power of numerous Demigod Strongmen, making it a fantasy for Tan Shuangshuang to want to rest, as no one can replace her on the battlefield.

As the war drags on, everyone’s battle is becoming tighter and tighter. On the human side, whether it’s human cultivators or Magic Beasts, they have already exhausted all their strength with no reinforcements in sight, while the Demon Clan keeps coming endlessly, thrown into battle by the Demon Clan portal, no matter how many are killed, the numbers do not seem to diminish.

At first, Tan Shuangshuang could barely find time to rest for a while and catch her breath, but gradually, there was no gap at all for her to rest.

However, the result of prolonged high-intensity combat is extreme fatigue of spiritual power. Even if the body, due to constant cultivation to restore Spiritual Energy, does not tire, the spirit still does, and the longer the tension, the greater the fatigue.

If such fatigue cannot be repaired in time, the consequences will be severe. Ordinary people’s prolonged tension may lead to a dull mind and, in severe cases, even insanity. For cultivators, it could lead to sluggish cultivation, a regression in Level, or even becoming a Demon.

Tan Shuangshuang has a strong and tenacious mindset, so she can endure more than others. Even Demigod Strongmen cannot fight as long as she can endure. However, Tan Shuangshuang is not a God; she still cannot avoid needing rest.

But every time Tan Shuangshuang takes a rest, the casualties are greater than when others rest. It’s simply because Tan Shuangshuang’s combat power is too formidable; she suppresses countless demons single-handedly.

As soon as Tan Shuangshuang stops fighting to rest, the pressure on those sharing her battlefield is not just a little increased; it’s life-threatening.

To prevent increased casualties, Tan Shuangshuang can only compress her cultivation time as much as possible to fight longer on the battlefield. However, by doing this, Tan Shuangshuang’s spirit cannot get better rest, making her prone to collapse from being too tense.

But at this moment, there is no choice. With so many demons, the immediate crisis is more important, and Tan Shuangshuang can’t afford to worry about future consequences.

Although Tan Shuangshuang cuts down on her rest time, confronting the Demons is becoming more strenuous for humans. The main reason is the sheer number of demons, and the deployment speed of the Demon portal increases every moment.

Tan Shuangshuang’s clothes have long been soaked in dark red blood, turning black and purple. This blood belongs to demons, humans, and even Magic Beasts, including her own. Despite her strong battle prowess, Demigod level demons are no weak adversaries; she is bound to get injured when fighting to the death.

The longer the delay, the tougher the fight gets. Humans no longer have the energy to research how to close the Demon portal amidst battle. The demons unleashed from the portal have become countless, increasing the pressure on humans.

Under Tan Shuangshuang’s relentless compression during this time, Thousand Silk Entanglement has taken a step further, capable of splitting into two hundred thousand strands. As all Thousand Silk Entanglements dance together, every moment claims the lives of at least two hundred thousand demons.

However, even such immense destructive power cannot significantly slow the demons’ growth speed; they continue to increase incessantly.

Tan Shuangshuang had once read records of ancient Demon portals in the Library of Sea China, but the records were unclear. Back then, Tan Shuangshuang could not quite comprehend why just one Demon portal could push an entire continent’s people to the brink of desperation.

Now, facing such a crisis head-on, Tan Shuangshuang realizes the immense power of a Demon portal! The constantly exhaling Abyssal aura is progressively occupying large tracts of land, with countless demons depleting all of the continent’s living strength.

The crisis brought by the Demon portal affects all—humans, beasts, Magic Beasts, and even flora and fauna, mountains and rivers must face it together. All places contaminated by the Abyssal aura will be assimilated into another Abyss, suitable for demon life. Life goes extinct, vegetation withers, rivers, lakes, and seas transform into pitch-black Abyssal swamps.

As the battle rages to this day, including the Black Stone Plain, the entire Phoenix Feather Country is about to be transformed into an Abyssal environment suited for demon habitation. This is a massive blow to humans, as demons originally unfit for the human world now find a habitat.

From this point onwards, demons gain a respite, continuously replenishing their previously human and demon overwhelming numerical advantage. Humans are forced to retreat, facing more and more, increasingly powerful demons, making combat progressively strenuous and disadvantageous.

The overwhelming Thousand Silk Entanglement flies wildly, a thick, bloody aura condensing into a red mist surrounding her. Her once-clear eyes are now blood-red. The greatest hidden hazard people worried about has finally erupted; Tan Shuangshuang’s spirit has succumbed to continuous battle fatigue, showing problems now.

How long has the battle lasted? Tan Shuangshuang doesn’t know; she can’t sense the passage of time, only remembers killing, killing, killing, wanting to kill every nearby creature.

Tan Shuangshuang’s situation is dire, the result of prolonged lack of rest has dulled her thinking and decreased her discernment. Now, she can’t even tell if the entities appearing before her are demons or humans.

Her spirit has been stretched too long; she’s utterly exhausted. Though her attacks remain sharp, she’s now in a state of half-consciousness, all attacks driven by instinct.

Instinctively, she channels Spiritual Power to maintain ample physical strength for fighting, instinctively commands the Thousand Silk Entanglement to use sharper attack methods to slash all approaching creatures.

Previously, when others fighting were too tired, they would approach Tan Shuangshuang, seeking a breather before continuing. But when a Demigod level cultivator was nearly slain by Tan Shuangshuang, realizing something amiss in her state, nobody dared to approach her attack range anymore, fearing being mistaken for a demon and slain, which would be an utter injustice.

It’s not that no one worries about Tan Shuangshuang’s state and tries to awaken her, but now, even the mightiest Demigod Strongmen can’t approach Tan Shuangshuang a bit. It’s wishful thinking for anyone else. They can’t get close, let alone wake her.

Someone suggested calling Fei Hu, Tan Feiyu, Lu Tianyi, Bai Sheng, and Tan Shuangshuang’s master Ling Wuchen, who arrived later, hoping these close to Tan Shuangshuang could call out to her together to wake her up.

Unfortunately, this method was futile too. The people nearby yelled Tan Shuangshuang’s name hoarsely, but she continued in battle, eyes still crimson, Thousand Silk Entanglement continuously dancing around, killing, killing, unable to stop.

While everyone worried to death, the battle was too tight. No matter the concern that they couldn’t wake Tan Shuangshuang, they had to let it go for now, waiting for Tan Shuangshuang to regain consciousness on her own.
