  The best treasures required sources of power. When one left their homeworld, they would be separated from their treasures’ sources of power; thus, these treasures naturally couldn’t be used. Demon monarchs were at a disadvantage when they came to the human world. King Calm Sea also had treasures that he couldn’t use when inside the World Gap.

  “From now on, you have to spend more effort on defensive measures,” said King True Martial. “We will be entering the World Gap for extended periods frequently.”

  “Yes.” King Calm Sea nodded.

  Meng Chuan listened from the side.

  The cultivation systems in the various major worlds were indeed different. There were the Godfiend, demon monarch, and Skydemon cultivation systems. Black Sand Grotto-Heaven had the Grand Yin cultivation system and the Halberd cultivation systemboth originated from the outer realm. Meng Chuan had high attainments in a mysterious physical body cultivation system. Blood Shura’s Shura cultivation system provided him a strong physical body and lifeblood mystic techniques.

  I need to be more careful when fighting experts from other worlds. This is because some unknown technique might appear.

  Black water churned.

  Blood Shura and Patriarch Poison Dragon gathered together.

  “King Calm Sea fled all the way to King True Martial.” Blood Shura looked at the three humans in the distance and said to his companion, “With their strength, it’ll probably be very difficult to break through their defenses if they just focus on defending.”

  “This King True Martial is actually able to withstand my poison.” Patriarch Poison Dragon frowned. “He even protected Marquis Eastcalm, Meng Chuan.”

  “That Meng Chuan deserves to die. He was the one who unleashed that lightning bolt on me, causing me to fail to kill King Calm Sea.” Killing intent flashed in Blood Shura’s eyes. “Let’s try again. Killing King Calm Sea and King True Martial will be a little difficult, but killing a Marquis Godfiend shouldn’t be difficult. We might find an opportunity to defeat them one by one if they try to save Meng Chuan.”

  “Alright. I’ll cast a forbidden spell and give it my all.” Patriarch Poison Dragon nodded.

  Blood Shura’s eyes glowed red. “Perhaps we can completely defeat them.”

  The two of them were used to fighting head-on-a result of the Shura cultivation system and Patriarch Poison Dragon’s Blackwater Poison Pool body that he cultivated with the help of an outer realm treasure. Patriarch Poison Body had an undying body, so he was naturally stronger than Blood Shura.

  Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

  The black waves-spread over hundreds of kilometers—suddenly surged towards the Godfiend trio.

  “They’re coming.” King True Martial calmly said, “Junior Brother Xue, use your sword art, Spring Autumn Tribulation, to assist me. Leave the rest to me.” King Calm Sea nodded. “Alright.” His Heavenly Tribulation Sword had many killer moves. His Spring Autumn Tribulation had yet to be perfected, but it was the most mysterious and unpredictable move.

  Meng Chuan watched carefully. The black water around him had already gathered to form an extremely large sphere-one even larger than ordinary mountains. When the black water sphere reached a diameter of 10 kilometers, the trio was trapped in the middle.

  Whoosh.

  In the black water sphere, a large, corporeal black dragon appeared. It was about one kilometer long, and its black scales were covered with mysterious patterns. It swam into the shrunken True Martial domain and headed towards Meng Chuan and company.

  As for Blood Shura, he charged into the True Martial domain from the other side. Both of them had terrifying vitality, so they charged straight into the domain without any worries.

  “Annihilate.” As the black dragon swam over, it suddenly stared at Meng Chuan. An Essence Soul weapon transformed into a blood-colored stream of light. It instantly traversed one kilometer and entered Meng Chuan’s body.

  This Meng Chuan is only a Marquis Godfiend. He hasn’t cultivated for long. His Essence Soul is his greatest weakness. If his Essence Soul is only at the first or second level, I might be able to kill him in one strike. Patriarch Poison Dragon’s intelligence was clearly outdated. When Meng Chuan had killed the demon monarchs in Chu An City, the nine-headed lion demon monarch had managed to escape alive. The demons knew that Meng Chuan likely had a fourth-level Essence Soul.

  Any fourth or fifth Firmament demon monarch that had entered the human world would receive the latest intelligence. However, Patriarch Poison Dragon and Blood Shura couldn’t enter the human world. They only gathered information about Creation Supremacies and Regis Godfiends, not paying much attention to other Godfiends.

  Boom! The blood-colored stream pierced Meng Chuan’s sea of consciousness. The sea of consciousness was the domain of his Essence Soul. When Meng Chuan saw a blood-colored spear flying at his Essence Soul, he immediately expanded the Soul-Buster Bell and enveloped his Essence Soul with a thought.

  Clang! The blood-colored spear struck the Soul-Buster Bell, producing a fluctuation. Meng Chuan’s Essence Soul felt somewhat uncomfortable, but he still remained lucid.

  In the end, the strength difference between their Essence Souls wasn’t large. Patriarch Poison Dragon had a fifth-level Essence Soul, and Meng Chuan had a fourth-level Essence Soul. With such a small difference in Essence Soul strength, the blood-colored spear didn’t affect Meng Chuan very much.

  What? Patriarch Poison Dragon was somewhat astonished, but he still followed his original plan. He and Blood Shura attacked from two different directions. When they reached Meng Chuan and company, the black dragon roared angrily.

  Roar!

  The black dragon grew eight new heads. A total of nine poison dragon heads circled Meng Chuan as they attacked the Godfiend trio. Three heads targeted Meng Chuan.

  “Die!” Blood Shura burned the blood in his body once again. A sanguine aura rose from his body as he slashed out three blood-colored saber shadows at Meng Chuan.

  King True Martial and King Calm Sea attacked almost simultaneously.

  Whoosh.

  King Calm Sea’s sword technique didn’t contain any killing intent this time. The divine sword instantly transformed into dozens of sword beams that shot out in all directions.

  Oh? Meng Chuan revealed a look of surprise. Meng Chuan could clearly sense the changes in his surroundings as he stood beside King Calm Sea and King True Martial. The demon monarchs’ movements remained the same as before, but their speed had clearly decreased by several-fold.

  The flow of time has changed. Meng Chuan was shocked. King Calm Sea’s Spring Autumn Tribulation can affect the flow of time?

  Boom! Boom! Boom!

  King True Martial had long gathered his strength and struck out seven times. Seven blurry gray palms instantly appeared in the world. Under the changed flow of time, the seven palms struck out several times faster than usual, causing the void to collapse and distort. Patriarch Poison Dragon had no way to dodge them.

  Boom!

  Patriarch Poison Dragon was sent flying backward by King True Martial’s strongest move of his True Martial Seven AbsolutesSky Capsizing Palm. King True Martial was good at fist, palm, claw, and finger attacks. In terms of strength and defense, his palm techniques were the best. In terms of killing enemies, his fist techniques were the best.

  After sending Patriarch Poison Dragon flying, King True Martial turned to look at Blood Shura.

  “Die!” Although Blood Shura was somewhat alarmed by the seven palm strikes, he was still confident in his attacks. The three blood-colored saber shadows flew over.

  Killing intent erupted from King True Martial’s eyes. He instantly cast a forbidden spell and circulated his Quintessential Essence with all his might. He delivered a flurry of punches with both fists.

  Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

  Ten lightning-fast punches. With King Calm Sea’s Spring Autumn Tribulation helping, the ten punches hit even faster. The first nine
punches struck one after another. Just as the nine blurry punches were thrown, the tenth punch-which was even more violent-had caught up. It caused the nine punches to condense into one, transforming into a gray column of light. This column of light contained a terrifying destructive power. Not good. Previously confident, Blood Shura’s heart palpitated when he saw the terrifying column of light. He immediately retreated, but it was too late.

  The gray column of light instantly enveloped him. His extremely tough scales immediately shattered together with his muscles and bones shattered. Within the gray pillar of light, his body rapidly disintegrated. His head still managed to survive for a while against the gray column of light, but in the end, he let out an indignant roar before his head completely shattered. His body vanished within the gray column of light, obliterated completely.

  Chapter 317 - Competition

  Blood Shura was dead! Even his storage treasure had been obliterated! Only his battle saber could be seen flying into the distance.

  King True Martial watched the outcome with a slightly-pale face. True Martial Seven Absolutes—Annihilation Fist-was a forbidden technique. He had executed the Ten Absolutes of World Annihilation. Annihilation Fist was the strongest move King True Martial had created; it could vanquish enemies with a single punch!

  He had even created another forbidden technique–Ten Absolutes of World Annihilation-based on Annihilation Fist. It required him to deliver ten consecutive strikes instantly. This placed a great burden on his body and Quintessential Essence. It was more difficult than delivering 100 normal punches instantly. After executing the Ten Absolutes of World Annihilation, King True Martial suffered significant injuries. His dantian space had suffered damage. Even at his cultivation realm, he still needed to recuperate slowly.

  “What?” The black dragon-which had been sent flying—was shocked by the sight.

  He and Blood Shura had dominated the Demon Realm for many years. Yet, he had been killed by a Regis Godfiend today? Patriarch Poison Dragon knew very well how powerful Blood Shura’s body was. There weren’t many entities in the Demon Realm that could kill Blood Shura. Only a number of demon sages could accomplish the feat.

  Blood Shura died just like that?

  Having arrived high up on a mountain, the fire pheasant trio—who were hidden in the void—was also shocked. Blood Shura earned his fame from his kills. The strength of a Shura Body had been proven by generations of experts that followed the Shura cultivation system, yet King True Martial destroyed him in a head-on clash?

  “How powerful. We must not clash head-on with King True Martial,” said the demon dragon solemnly as he watched from afar.

  “Although my body is strong, I’m inferior to Blood Shura.” The ox demon monarch was extremely afraid.

  “All we need to do is wait. When we find an opportunity and seize the Origins treasure, we will flee immediately.” The fire pheasant was confident in her speed.

  The demon dragon and ox demon monarch agreed as well. They planned on fleeing upon seizing the treasure. King True Martial was… too terrifying. They didn’t have the confidence to fight him head-on.

  Oh? The fire pheasant trio was suddenly alarmed. The mountain below had stopped rising

  Whoosh. King True Martial waved his hand and stored away the battle saber left behind by Blood Shura.

  “Impressive,” said King Calm Sea sincerely as he looked at King True Martial.

  “It’s all thanks to you, Junior Brother Xue.” King True Martial’s face was pale as he said with a smile, “Although I created this forbidden move of mine, it has a fatal flaw. Even if I were to deliver ten consecutive punches, the amount of time it takes to fuse them would be several times longer than trying to fuse normal punches into one. When an enemy notices that something is amiss, they will escape! With your Spring Autumn Tribulation affecting the flow of time, I was able to execute this move several-fold faster than before. That prevented Blood Shura from escaping.” Meng Chuan fell into deep thought.

  Yes. The time it took to complete this move was indeed a weakness. King Calm Sea had made up for this weakness, making it even more terrifying

  “Your strength is in no way inferior to a true Creation realm expert,” said King Calm Sea. He didn’t say anything else.

  A true Creation realm expert? King True Martial felt mixed emotions. He only had such accomplishment due to his many opportunities—a damaged token from Archean Eon Grotto-Heaven, Grandsire Yin Yang’s ultimate technique, and the demon heritage he had obtained from killing demons. Most importantly, he had cultivated for over 300 years! He had once been highly favored by Archean Mountain and was extremely illustrious. However, he had encountered emotional setbacks. He had doubted himself during his cultivation. He had been stuck at a bottleneck and couldn’t advance any further. He had completely fallen to the nadir of his life.

  As time passed, he gradually aged. Amidst sighs, he—despite Archean Mountain Supremacies’ disappointment-finally broke through and achieved success. With an Imperial lord level ultimate technique—the Yin-Yang Art-as his foundation, he brashly modified it and created the True Martial lineage. The cultivation difficulty of his lineage was even greater than the Yin-Yang Art. However, once mastered, one’s combat strength would be superior to those of the same level!

  But what use was that? By the time he mastered it, he was already old. His aged body prevented him from breaking through to the Creation realm.

  As for the theoretical possibility of regaining his youth? That required his True Martial lineage’s foundation, the Yin-Yang Art, to reach perfection. What was perfection. It was the highest level of the Yin-Yang Art-the final level that Grandsire Yin Yang had reached the Imperial Lord level. Grandsire Yin Yang’s technique realm had reached the Imperial Lord level, but he didn’t become an Imperial Lord.

  There were many requirements for becoming an Imperial Lord. One’s technique realm was only one of them. However, how difficult was it for one’s technique realm to reach the Imperial Lord level?

  It’s just too difficult for one’s technique realm to reach the Imperial Lord level in 500 years.

  King True Martial understood this.

  Oh? King True Martial suddenly turned to look at the mountain nearby.

  This mountain has stopped rising? Meng Chuan and King Calm Sea also discovered it. The purple aura that enveloped the mountain had stopped rising.

  “Let’s hurry up and get close. Be ready to snatch the treasure at any time,” said King True Martial. He immediately used his domain to bring Meng Chuan and King Calm Sea closer to the purple aura. They came extremely close to the purple aura before their entry was barred.

  Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

  Patriarch Poison Dragon transformed into black water; the water spread out. It surrounded the mountain from all directions, blotting out the sky and sealing off the entire mountain. However, the black water was unable to threaten the True Martial domain.

  Humph. A black dragon surfaced from the black water, and coldly looked at the human Godfiends. He couldn’t do anything to King True Martial and company; likewise for King True Martial and the others. Patriarch Poison Dragon’s Undying body was indeed powerful. According to the intelligence they had, only the three demon Imperial Lords could kill him.

  “Junior Brother Meng, we’ll be counting on you later.” King True Martial looked at Meng Chuan. “King Calm Sea and I will protect you. Carry us towards the treasure as quickly as possible.”

  “Yes.” Meng Chuan nodded. “I will definitely give it my all.”

  Suddenly,

  The purple aura that enveloped the entire mountain converged and seeped back into the mountain. A white beam of light suddenly shot up from the mountainside. The white light formed a faint outline of eyes and a nose, but it was like a sharp sword that pierced through the air. It was terrifying fast.

  “It’s an Origins treasure.” The black water had enveloped the entire mountain. A black dragon immediately condensed at the spot closest to t
he treasure. After the black dragon condensed, it rushed towards the white light.

  “Seize the treasure.” Meng Chuan felt an inexplicable excitement when he saw the white light. It was as though his life was affected. He instinctively brought King True Martial and King Calm Sea toward the white light.

  At the same time, he received a voice transmission from King True Martial’s Essence Soul. “Grab it!”

  Whoosh.

  Lightning flashed in the sky. Even while carrying King True Martial and King Calm Sea, Meng Chuan’s speed soared to an inconceivable level as he charged towards the white light.

  “Grab it!” The fire pheasant trio immediately cast their divine powers.

  Swoosh.

  The demon dragon’s domain was famous in the Demon Realm. Even Patriarch Poison Dragon and King True Martial didn’t notice them when they hid in the void.

  “Divine power—Void Territory.” A vertical eye opened at the demon dragon’s glabella. It allowed him to see chaotic void waves. His divine power could freeze the surrounding void and make it his territory. It was also his strongest domain move.

  Whoosh.

  The fire pheasant spread her fiery-red wings and transformed into a flaming beam as she swooped down from the sky.

  Patriarch Poison Dragon’s black water was also about to reach the white light when the fire pheasant trio instantly charged into the black water.

  Chi! Chi! Chi!

  The black water was poisonous. However, the demon dragon’s Void Territory shielded the trio from the black water as they charged towards the white light.

  Meng Chuan and company flew towards the white light from the side.

  “What?” Patriarch Poison Dragon was alarmed as well. He didn’t expect other demon monarchs to be hiding in the vicinity.

  “Origins treasure.” The fire pheasant trio went all out. Although Patriarch Poison Dragon was powerful, he was only famous for his Undying Body and poison. They weren’t afraid of him thanks to their number advantage.
