“Kill him.” The second Firmament demon monarchs smiled hideously. With five of them against one person—even if the other party was desperately fighting—they could kill him quickly.
“Ahhh!” Hu Xiao went crazy. He wanted at least one demon monarch to die with him.
“Brother Xiao.” Wang Fucheng was helpless when he saw this scene. Suddenly, he saw lightning passing through the northern horizon.
Swoosh!
The bolt of lightning flew over from the north. It moved at supersonic speeds. Meng Chuan arrived at Crescent Lake before the explosions, and cheers at the city wall could be heard here.
“That’s…” Jumo and the second Firmament demon monarchs sensed a powerful Godfiend aura rapidly approaching them. At that moment, Meng Chuan’s Quintessential Essence erupted. His Godfiend aura was not concealed at all; it was extremely eye-catching.
The six demon monarchs were alarmed. It hadn’t been long since they attacked Green Mountain Prefecture City. How had a Godfiend arrived so quickly?
A Godfiend is here! Wang Fucheng and Hu Xiao were delighted by this turn of events.
Meng Chuan—who was covered in lightning—immediately discovered Hu Xiao in a dire situation.
Six demon monarchs? Meng Chuan’s body flashed as he landed on Crescent Lake’s surface. He did not hesitate to draw his saber.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Six saber beams instantly erupted from Demon Slayer. Covered in blinding lightning, the saber beams distorted the void, warping space. The second Firmament demon monarchs were about to dodge, but the saber beams had already reached them by the time they could react. The second Firmament demon monarchs were sliced in half by the saber beams; their bodies fell into the lake, dyeing the water red.
Hu Xiao—who was about to sacrifice himself—looked at the five demon monarch corpses dazedly. He understood that he had survived!
It’s too fast! Jumo realized that the saber beam had distorted the void and instantly closed in on him. After realizing that he couldn’t dodge the saber beam, he raised his six arms to block it.
Bam!
Jumo found the saber beam too overwhelming! It completely crushed his defense!
Two curved blades were sent flying from the impact while the other four curved blades continued to be held. However, Jumo’s hands were covered in blood. His hands were injured by the impact. Blood gushed out from his hands, but he had managed to stay alive.
He defeated me with a single saber beam? Jumo found it unbelievable. Although he had recently reached the third Firmament and had yet to consolidate his strength, his true form was a three-headed magical snake. His bloodline was much stronger than ordinary demon monarchs. As an Archean Mountain disciple, Wang Fucheng—who was at the peak of the Indestructible realm—was comparable to an ordinary third Firmament demon monarch. However, he was still suppressed by Jumo in a one-on-one battle even though he held the terrain advantage.
Meng Chuan defeated Jumo with a casual saber beam upon arrival.
Oh?
After landing on the lake’s surface, the lightning receded and revealed Meng Chuan’s figure.
Senior Brother Meng! Wang Fucheng revealed a look of delight. He naturally recognized the genius Archean Mountain disciple that had mastered a Black Metal Sutra move and had a perfected Lightning Devastator Fiend Body.
Meng Chuan glanced at the three-headed demon monarch in surprise. His brows pricked up. “It didn’t die?”
He’s too powerful. If I can’t escape, I’ll die! Jumo was filled with horror. He didn’t hesitate to use the innate abilities provided by his bloodline.
His body split into three, transforming into three black snakes. The three black snakes instantly burrowed into Crescent Lake and fled in three different directions.
“Do you think you can escape?” Lightning flashed from Meng Chuan’s body as he instantly split into three identical figures.
The three Meng Chuans slashed out!
The saber beams parted the lake—that was several hundred feet deep. Following that, the saber beams struck the black snakes that were frantically escaping.
The three black snakes were hit! Two black snakes were halved, immediately causing a massive snake corpse to be revealed. Only one black snake remained alive despite being struck. Its body had a deep wound, but its body wasn’t sliced through. With a twist of its body, it burrowed into the mud at the bottom of the lake and continued its escape.
Two avatars? That’s the true body? It looks like it’s a demon monarch with a special bloodline. Meng Chuan took two steps forward before brandishing his saber again!
Whoosh—
The lake water parted once again. When the saber beam struck the bottom of the lake, a Yin-Yang blast transmitted downwards.
…
Jumo fled frantically, continuing to burrow underground.
I’m a three-headed magical snake. I’m good at escaping through water and burrowing into the ground. No matter how fast that human Godfiend is, he can’t compare to me when it comes to burrowing in the ground. I’ll definitely be able to escape. Jumo had used a forbidden spell when he burrowed into the ground. The deeper underground he went, the better. It gave him a sense of security.
However, a strange force rapidly spread underground, instantly reaching his body.
“No.” Jumo could not help but feel fear and despair when he sensed the terrifying force.
Clang!
The strange force exploded after it reached his body. Demon Monarch Jumo’s body instantly burst.
My life-preservation means are very strong. I’m good at escaping through water and burrowing into the ground. I came to the human world to make great contributions. I wanted to receive the demons’ bestowment. In the future, I could become a fourth Firmament demon monarch or even a fifth Firmament greater demon monarch. No, I’m unwilling to accept this. Jumo felt his consciousness dissipate. He felt extreme despair and indignation. Was he about to die just after coming to the human world?
Riches were sought in danger! The demons’ hierarchy was strict, and many large factions had occupied the resources. Although coming to the human world was dangerous, it was a good opportunity to stand out.
He came! Yet, he was unable to withstand the danger.
His injuries were too severe. He only managed a few more seconds of consciousness before it completely dissipated.
…
Meng Chuan stood on the lake surface and pointed downwards. “The demon monarch’s corpse is 270 feet below the lake.”
The demon monarch didn’t know that Meng Chuan could sense auras within a kilometer of him! Meng Chuan could clearly sense the demon monarch when he reached the bottom of the lake. If he were to use the Tiger Roar Stance, Meng Chuan would create a thousand-foot-wide crater! It would reduce the demon monarch to smithereens! However, a demon monarch’s corpse could be used by Archean Mountain; thus, he didn’t destroy it completely.
“I’ll dig it out,” said Wang Fucheng immediately with a smile.
“I’ll leave the aftermath to you. I’ll go destroy those demons.” With that said, Meng Chuan transformed into a bolt of lightning and headed for the northern city wall.
“Senior Brother Meng, don’t worry,” said Wang Fucheng loudly as he watched Meng Chuan leave.
Whoosh!
Wang Fucheng stood there, casting his domain. The lake water parted, revealing the bottom of the lake. Water tore through the soil and constantly drilled downwards.
“Palace Lord, who was that?” Hu Xiao walked over while clasping his arm stump.
“That’s a top Archean Mountain disciple,” said Wang Fucheng with a smile. “An ordinary disciple like me will still be thrashed by Senior Brother Meng even when I become a Great Solar Godfiend. Of course, by the time I reach the Great Solar realm, Senior Brother Meng might already be a Darkstar Godfiend by then.”
Whoosh! Water swirled around the snake’s corpse—pulled out from underground.

Meng Chuan streaked across the sky. He landed on a tree, using it as a platform to leap towards the city wall. As he was heading towards the city wall, Meng Chuan saw that the 30,000 demons had yet to retreat!
Even though the commanders and a number of lieutenant commanders were dead, the demon army had yet to attack! Whether they attacked or retreated depended on the demon monarchs’ orders.
“The demon monarchs haven’t given any orders. We cannot retreat!”
“Retreating without permission will mean death once we return to the Demon Realm!”
“When the demon monarchs kill the Godfiends, we will wipe out Green Mountain Prefecture City!”
Although the demons were somewhat uneasy, nobody dared to retreat. According to their rules, if the demon monarchs fled, they would order the demon army to retreat! Unbeknownst to them, the demon monarchs were all dead. No demon monarchs were left alive to give the demon army any orders!
If a Marquis Godfiend had rushed over to provide relief, the demon monarchs would’ve been frightened out of their wits when they sensed the Godfiend aura coming from afar! Marquis Godfiends were slower than Meng Chuan, so one or two demon monarchs could escape if they split up and fled.
However, they only saw Meng Chuan as a Great Solar Godfiend. They held some confidence in fighting against him. After all, five second Firmament demon monarchs were cooperating with an elite third Firmament demon monarch! Due to their confidence, they realized the disparity in strength too late.
Thankfully they haven’t attacked. Meng Chuan heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that the 30,000-strong demon army had yet to attack the city.
He had been afraid that the demon army would attack Green Mountain Prefecture City while he was fighting the demon monarchs. This would definitely result in human casualties. This was why he had killed the commanders and some lieutenant commanders.
It’s too late to escape now. Meng Chuan stared at the demon army with no pity whatsoever.
Swoosh!
A bolt of lightning streaked across the sky and landed in the middle of the demon army outside the city.
“It’s that Godfiend!” The demons were horrified.
Lightning erupted from Meng Chuan’s body. A thick, black baneful aura spread in all directions, covering a thousand feet.
The baneful aura thinned after covering such a huge area. However, the mortal demons froze into ice sculptures once the baneful aura touched them! His baneful aura was much more terrifying Demon Monarch Poison Pool’s poisonous fog.
Swoosh.
Wherever the baneful aura passed, a large number of demons would freeze to death, forever to be ice sculptures.
“Run!”
“Run!”
The demons no longer cared about military discipline. In the face of death, they frantically fled in all directions.
But Meng Chuan was too fast! He instantly arrived at the demon army’s rear. In just a few seconds, he passed through the demon army seven times! Every time he did so, everything with a thousand feet froze.
“This…”
“The demons have all been frozen.”
“Amazing.”
The soldiers—who were on the city wall—were shocked by the scene before them. In just a few seconds, over 90 percent of the 30,000-strong demon army was frozen to death.
Meng Chuan turned into a bolt of lightning as he circled and cornered the demons—that were better at escaping—before freezing them to death.
The hundred or so flying demons that attempted to escape were unable to escape from Meng Chuan’s perception. They either froze or were struck by lightning.
In ten seconds, the 30,000-strong demon army was completely wiped out! None of them managed to escape.
“Godfiend! Godfiend!” Shock ran through the soldiers on the city walls as they cheered excitedly.
This was the strength of a human Godfiend! The demon army had been slaughtered within a few seconds.
Swoosh.
After wiping out the demon army, Meng Chuan looked to the north. The demons had swarmed over from the north. This meant that the World Entrance was located north of Green Mountain Prefecture City.
Hence, he went to investigate the north.
The demon army had left devastation in its wake, so it was easy to follow their tracks.
Found it. Meng Chuan saw the distorted World Entrance that was 1000 feet long. Countless footprints could be seen around it.
Whoosh. Meng Chuan retracted his aura and silently landed on a tree not far from the barren mountain. He sat on a branch and watched silently.
Wiping out the invading demons didn’t mean that it was over.
He had to confirm no more demons were coming out of the World Entrance! He could only return to North River Pass after people from Archean Mountain came to take his place.
…
“Your Majesty, I saw it clearly. The 30,000-strong demon army fled in terror outside Green Mountain Prefecture City, but all of them were turned to ice sculptures. None of them escaped.” The black-robed figure, Pangoswim, knelt respectfully and reported to Greater Demon Monarch Avaricehell.
“They weren’t able to escape?” Avaricehell frowned slightly as the other demon monarchs around him fell into a commotion.
“Thirty thousand demons couldn’t escape despite scattering in all directions?”
“Some of them can fly while others can burrow in the ground. Yet, they couldn’t escape?”
The demon monarchs found it unbelievable.
“I saw everything clearly. Even in the darkness, I saw a palm-sized object from a kilometer away,” Pangoswim immediately shouted. “Green Mountain Prefecture City’s northern gates were lit up by torches. The 30,000-strong demon army was very eye-catching as they were illuminated by light. I saw everything clearly while standing on the barren mountain. All the demons were frozen to death! None of them escaped! I was so frightened that I immediately retreated.”
“Oh?” Avaricehell placed his black palm on the armrest. He calmly said, “To prevent 30,000 demons from escaping, it must be a Marquis Godfiend that has a domain. To appear just after the attack, the Marquis Godfiend must be one of the roaming Godfiends. He happened to be near Green Mountain Prefecture City. Forget it. Count themselves lucky.”
He did not mind losing some of his subordinates. Knowing that there were powerful Godfiends in the area, he naturally wouldn’t send his subordinates to their deaths.
…
By Crescent Lake, the demon monarchs’ corpses were piled to the side. Many soldiers had rushed over and were shocked upon seeing the demon monarchs’ corpses.
“An Archean Mountain Godfiend happened to pass by our Green Mountain Prefecture and saved us,” said Wang Fucheng with a smile. “Since the demons have been killed, pass the order. The city is to return to normal. Have everyone exit the tunnels.”
“Yes,” the soldiers replied in a loud voice. They relayed his orders excitedly.
Wang Fucheng looked at Hu Xiao. “Brother Hu Xiao, watch over the demon monarchs’ corpses. Archean Mountain will send someone over tonight. We will hand the corpses over to them when the time comes.”
“Yes.” Hu Xiao nodded. He looked at his severed arm and sighed. “I have to head to Archean Mountain so I can heal my arm.”
There were some powerful Godfiends that could provide treatment for severe injuries.
For example, even Qian Yu could recover from his severe injuries. Only his destroyed dantian couldn’t be recovered. All his physical injuries were completely healed.
“Haha, Archean Mountain can regenerate your severed arm in a day. Alright, I’ll be going to Senior Brother Meng first,” said Wang Fucheng with a smile. Following that, he transformed into a stream of light and headed towards the northern city wall.
Moments later, Wang Fucheng saw the silver-white ice sculptures outside the city! The 30,000 ice sculptures were a shocking sight. It was
clearly summer, but the ice sculptures were bone-chilling.
Wang Fucheng stared at the demon ice sculptures with shock. Senior Brother Meng is really amazing. His strength should be close to that of a Marquis Godfiend, right?

At the northern city wall, the general in charge of the city wall came to Wang Fucheng’s side and bowed respectfully. “Palace Lord.”
“Where’s the Godfiend who dealt with the demons?” asked Wang Fucheng.
“After the Lord turned all the demons into ice sculptures, he transformed into lightning and headed north.” The general pointed at a dark mountain outside the city.
“Okay.” Wang Fucheng nodded slightly and jumped off the city wall. He headed towards the mountain as a blurry stream of light.
Wang Fucheng arrived at the barren mountain by following the demons’ tracks. When he saw the distorted World Entrance that was 1000 feet long, he immediately looked around in puzzlement.
“Junior Brother Wang.” After Meng Chuan spoke, he jumped down from the tree and landed on the ground.
Wang Fucheng smiled when he saw Meng Chuan. He walked over with a smile, and said, “Senior Brother Meng, I rushed over to meet you after I finished my work in the city. I don’t know how many people would’ve died in Green Mountain Prefecture City if it weren’t for you.”
“It’s nothing.” Meng Chuan shook his head and asked, “What losses did Green Mountain Prefecture City suffer?”
“Some people were implicated when the demon monarchs entered the city,” said Wang Fucheng. “A few hundred people died.”
Meng Chuan nodded slightly. That was already a low casualty count! If the demon monarchs had defeated the Godfiends, the entire city would be reduced to ruins. Hundreds of thousands of people would die; it would be tragic!
Meng Chuan had witnessed the destruction of a city when he was six, which was why he never showed mercy to the demons.
