“Ah Chuan, what do you mean?” Liu Qiyue looked at Meng Chuan.
“I’m worried that this is just the beginning,” said Meng Chuan softly.
This would make war even crueler.
Liu Qiyue nodded and said, “Actually, Godfiends have long discovered that more and more World Entrances are appearing. Twenty years ago, the three major sects completely abandoned all small and medium-sized World Entrances. However, this time, a super-large World Entrance and two large World Entrances appeared overnight. The thought scares me.”
“No matter how adverse our situation is, we can only face it,” said Meng Chuan. “The best way to deal with it is to become stronger.”
“Yes.” Liu Qiyue nodded.
“Let’s work hard to become Regis Godfiends.” Meng Chuan looked at his wife. “Becoming a Regis Godfiend will make us more useful.”
“Phoenix’s Nirvana has helped me greatly increase my technique realm. The Phoenix Flight has also helped me greatly,” said Liu Qiyue. “I might be able to break through and become a Regis Godfiend.”
Phoenix’s Nirvana would accelerate one’s aging and greatly reduce one’s lifespan. However, Marquis Godfiends could still maintain peak vitality until they were 90 years old. Even if they were over 90 years old, their vitality just started to decrease slowly. Therefore it was common for Marquis Godfiends to breakthrough and become a Regis Godfiend when they were slightly over 100 years old. There was still a 90% chance of success. For example, King Sword Nine became a Regis Godfiend at the age of 109.
However, the decline in vitality sped up past that. At 120 years of age, the success rate was only 60%. At 150 years of age, there was only a 10% chance of success. There was no need to mention the rest.
Liu Qiyue’s problem with Phoenix’s Nirvana was that it accelerated her aging speed even though it improved her cultivation. Therefore, Phoenix Divine Body Godfiends could definitely become Marquis Godfiends with their talents. However, there were very few Phoenix Divine Body Regis Godfiends in history. Liu Qiyue had used Archean Mountain’s last phoenix feather to purify her bloodline. She also cultivated Phoenix Flight, giving her a greater chance of becoming a Regis Godfiend.
The Great Zhou Dynasty, An State’s wilderness.
A huge World Entrance, spanning almost 15 kilometers, stood silently in the wilderness. On the other side of the World Entrance, the Demon Realm could be clearly seen. Demon monarchs were looking through the World Entrance.
“Qin Wu.” Li Guan’s Essence Soul avatar and Qin Wu stood in the wilderness as they looked at the gigantic World Entrance. “In the future, you will have to preside over this place personally,” said Li Guan. “Your Swordbanes can envelop the entire World Entrance, so you don’t need a Regis Godfiend to assist you,
right?”
“There’s no need,” said Qin Wu.
Supremacy Luo Tang still needed the help of two Regis Godfiends to ensure that nothing unexpected happened to Luo Tang Pass. However, Qin Wu cultivated the Thirteen Swordbane Fiend Body-which was known for having the best long-range attacking prowess. His Swordbanes could completely envelop the World Entrance. Anyone who came through would die!
In terms of strength, Qin Wu was ranked in the top three among all current Creation Supremacies in the world. Previously, he was in charge of guarding the most important place, Archean Mountain. He was confident that he could guard a super-large city pass by himself.
“I’ll leave this to you,” said Li Guan. “A large city-matching the side of Luo Tang Pass and the imperial capital—will be built here. It will have a population of close to 30 million people.”
Since Qin Wu was guarding the city, they naturally built a city to protect more mortals.
“Senior Brother.” Qin Wu’s long hair draped over his shoulders. His eyes were filled with puzzlement as he inquired, “The World Gap is gradually expanding. The two worlds will become closer, and the World Entrances will increase in number. In the end, there might not be enough Creation Supremacies to guard super-large World Entrances. At that point, fifth Firmament demon monarchs can enter the human world freely. I’m worried that an even larger World Entrance—which allows the entry of demon sages-will appear. If that’s the case, will we really have to end the world? Will the only thing we can do is hide in Archean Mountain and pray for hope?”
Chapter 326 - Godfiend’s Identity
“When that happens, we will have no other choice,” said Li Guan.
“To personally end the world, causing countless deaths…” Qin Wu shook his head. “It’s a nightmare.”
“If demon sages can enter as they please, a large group of demon sages can easily flatten the human world. Countless demons will occupy the human world. Humans will be food to the demons; they’ll be eaten. That would be even more tragic,” said Li Guan. “It’s better to… die instantly without any pain when we end the world.”
Li Guan revealed a smile as he looked at Qin Wu. “The two worlds are like two bubbles in the River of Spacetime. They can be very close to each other and even form a World Gap. However, they will eventually separate from each other.”
“How long will it take for the two worlds to separate?” asked Qin Wu.
“According to the past seniors that explored the River of Spacetime and gathered some information, since the World Gap has been born, it might take 1,000 years for the two worlds to separate,” said Li Guan.
“A thousand years?” Qin Wu fell silent.
“We will definitely win,” said Li Guan with a smile. “Perhaps one day, an Imperial Lord will be born. Perhaps a miracle will happen one day. As long as we persist… there will be hope.”
Qin Wu nodded.
There were two requirements for becoming an Imperial Lord. The first requirement depended on one’s technique realm. The second requirement depended on one’s Essence Soul. There were no age requirements. One’s technique realm had to reach the Imperial Lord level—the Heaven Earth realm. They also needed to attain a seventh-level Essence Soul.
Grandsire Yin Yang, Ancestral Master Guo Ke, and many other famous figures in history had reached the Heaven Earth realm, but their Essence Souls failed to meet the mark. Some had high Essence Soul cultivation talent and attained a seventh-level Essence Soul. However, their technique realm failed to reach the Heaven Earth realm.
Few humans in history had managed both. On average, an Imperial Lord was born once every 100,000 years.
From that day onwards, Black Sand Grotto-Heaven and Two World Island built large city passes-Leviathan Jade Pass and Qingji Pass. As for Archean Mountain, they built a super-large city pass-Sword Sovereign City.
Swoosh.
A stream of light flew through the sky; it was Meng Chuan, who was on his way home after a busy day.
was
What a big city.
While passing by An State, Meng Chuan came to the new city pass. The four city walls of Sword Sovereign City were 100 kilometers long each. Even Jiang State Capital, which had been expanded, was of such a standard. It could accommodate more than 20 million people.
It’s really lively. Meng Chuan watched as the huge city occupied the mountains and wilderness. One-third of the city was embedded in the mountain range. A large portion of the mountain had been dug out. This was very easy for Supremacy Qin Wu. The city walls were built simply and quickly. The countless buildings in the city were much more complicated. Under the guidance of Godfiends, countless mortals were constructing buildings.
Swoosh. A figure flew over.
Meng Chuan immediately welcomed him and bowed respectfully. “Master.”
“It’s been half a month since Sword Sovereign City was built. It’s your first time here.” Qin Wu smiled at his disciple.
“I happened to pass by,” said Meng Chuan with a smile. He was busy every day, hoping he could have twice the amount of time in a day.
“After you returned from the World Gap, your speed has increased greatly,” said Qin Wu. “You are killing undergroun
d demon monarchs even faster. In the past few months, the demons must have realized your existence. According to what I know, the demons have been investigating. They want to know which Archean Mountain Regis Godfiend is so skilled at underground reconnaissance. You have to be careful. Make sure to keep your identity a secret.”
“Don’t worry, Master.” Meng Chuan nodded. “Right now, there aren’t any fourth Firmament demon monarchs underground. They are all ordinary demon monarchs. Once I discover them, I kill them from afar. Those ordinary demon monarchs won’t even see me before they lose their lives. Even if they have divine powers like avatars, they won’t discover my identity.”
Qin Wu nodded and said, “You are ultimately a Marquis Godfiend. Although you can fight above your level, you only have the strength of a top Regis Godfiend. Once your identity is exposed, it won’t be difficult for the demons to kill you. For example, Demon Sage Nine Abyss may personally assassinate you. If that happens, you can only use the defensive stone talisman to protect yourself. However, the protective stone talisman will be expended after a single usage.” Meng Chuan nodded. “I understand.”
ldi
“Before becoming a Regis Godfiend, you have to keep your identity a secret. After all, you make the demons’ hearts ache with your demon monarch killing speed,” said Qin Wu.
“It’s good that their heart hurts.” Meng Chuan looked at the huge city below that was in the midst of construction. “I hope their hearts ache even more in the future. The more their hearts ache, the happier I will be.”
Qin Wu laughed and looked down. At this moment, a constant flow of people was entering Sword Sovereign City through the various city gates with their entire families. “It will be very safe here with me presiding over it,” said Qin Wu. “I will try my best to arrange for nearly 30 million people to be brought here from the wilderness.”
“It’s good for mortals.” Meng Chuan nodded. He could see the hope in the people’s eyes.
“Dad, what a big city.” A group of mortals with over 100 people-male and female, young and old-were pulling carts. Many of their clothes, bowls, and pans were placed on them. Children were happily running beside the adults, excitedly looking at the city as snot flowed from their noses.
“That’s right. I heard that this large city could hold more than 20 million people. It’s the largest city in our Great Zhou Dynasty. Kid, once you live in the city, you can train under the sun. There’s no need to hide,” said his father happily as he pulled the cart.
“I never expected our family to be able to enter a large city.” There was an old woman on the cart as well. She chuckled.
The hundreds of people in the team laughed happily.
To mortals, large cities were unbelievable, magical places. Many mortals dreamed of living in large cities for their entire lives.
Sword Sovereign City was newly built. It provided the lowest-level residence for free, but even that was ten times better than what they had in the wilderness.
Deep in the North Sea, inside a small grotto-heaven.
Demon Sage Nine Abyss, the black-robed man, and the yellow-robed man were gathered together.
“North Sense, congratulations on reaching the fifth Firmament,” said the yellow-robed man with a smile.
“We were demon sages. It’s naturally not difficult for us to recover to the fifth Firmament,” said the black-robed man. “I believe Brother Yellow Oscillate will soon reach the fifth Firmament.”
The yellow-robed man nodded. To them, restoring their demon sage strength was the most difficult thing. Even so, they still entered the human world via possession. This was because they could not see any hope in the Demon Realm. They had only the right to negotiate with the demon Imperial Lords when they were in the human world! Only then did they see hope.
“One super-large and two large World Entrances have recently appeared,” said Demon Sage Nine Abyss with a smile. “The situation is becoming more and more advantageous for us demons.”
The black-robed man smiled as well. “I heard that Supremacy Qin Wu is personally guarding the super-large World Entrance. Therefore, it’s named Sword Sovereign City.” Demon Sage Nine Abyss nodded. “Qin Wu is extremely talented. He was extremely dazzling 1,000 years ago. When he was a Regis Godfiend, he struck terror in Two World Island and Black Sand Grotto-Heaven with his kills with the Thirteen Swordbanes. Back then, he was known as the Sword Sovereign, indicating that his strength was above all Regis Godfiends. Later, after he broke through and became a Creation Supremacy, he became increasingly low-key. However, according to what we know, his strength is ranked in the top three among humans.”
“Bai Yaoyue, Qin Wu, and Li Guan should be the three strongest Creation realm humans,” said the black-robed man. “We have to avoid the three of them.”
“There are many demon monarchs in the world now. There’s no need for us to take action,” said Demon Sage Nine Abyss. “It’s been more than two years since the ceasefire. I’m guessing that some ancient Regis Godfiends are about to enter ‘fake deaths’ again. We have to begin our operation. We have to force these Regis Godfiends to stay awake and expend their lifespans.”
“It’s time to mobilize the demon monarchs. There are at least 800,000 demon monarchs in the human world. King White Treasure and a mysterious Archean Mountain Godfiend have been slaughtering underground demons for the past half-year,” said the black-robed man. “Even more demon monarchs have been slaughtered by that mysterious Godfiend.”
With the total number of dead demon monarchs and the location of their deaths, they determined that two human Godfiends were hunting for underground demon monarchs.
“Have you found out who the Archean Mountain Godfiend that is skilled at underground reconnaissance is?” Demon Sage Nine Abyss frowned.
“No.” The black-robed man said, “It’s unlikely to be any of the 14 current Archean Mountain Regis Godfiends. I suspect that it’s one of the 20 or so Regis Godfiends that awakened. However, it’s very difficult for us to come into contact with these ancient Godfiends.”
Demon Sage Nine Abyss nodded slightly. “Continue investigating. I’ll arrange for demon monarchs to take action. It’ll be the day after tomorrow.”
Chapter 327 - Night Attack
At night, torches on Changfeng City’s walls burned, illuminating the patrolling soldiers. As a large city with over ten million people, Changfeng City was one of the 62 large cities in the Great Zhou Dynasty (plus Sword Sovereign City). Changfeng City was naturally prosperous, so the security was very tight.
“My lord.”
“My lord.”
The soldiers bowed respectfully to an elderly patrolling guard.
The white-haired elder stopped and stood at the city wall, looking at the dark sky.
Boom! The white-haired elder let out a soft grunt. An invisible Quintessential Essence fluctuation spread out in all directions with him at the center. In the blink of an eye, it covered a distance of ten kilometers.
No demons within ten kilometers. The elder nodded slightly.
Changfeng City had many defensive systems. Godfiend reconnaissance was only one of them. This elder was a Great Solar Godfiend. With a thought, he could probe a radius of ten kilometers! Of course, underground reconnaissance wasn’t his forte. Back then, Fairy Meng was a Godfiend that was skilled at reconnaissance. She could probe a five-kilometer radius with a thought.
Many Godfiends patrolled the city walls.
In Changfeng City, Liu Qiyue and Marchioness Plum Snow were the strongest Godfiends, and a group of ordinary Godfiends supported them. Most of the ordinary Godfiends were outer sect disciples of Archean Mountain. Very few were inner sect disciples.
“We’ve been waiting here for more than two hours. When do we attack?” Three demon monarchs were hiding four kilometers away from the city and half a kilometer underground. “We just have to heed our orders. Once the higher-ups give the order, we’ll attack. If there are no orders, just wait.”
“Just w
ait. You’ll just be sending yourself to be killed if you charge in alone.”
The three demon monarchs were chatting.
“How many demon monarchs do you think we sent this time? The three of us came from different places and happened to bump into each other here.”
“There will definitely be a lot.”
Huh?
The three demon monarchs felt their tokens burning; they quickly took their tokens out.
“Orders are here.” The three demon monarchs exchanged looks and didn’t hesitate to charge upwards.
At that moment, many demon monarchs flew out of the ground. They were all varying distances away from Changfeng City’s four walls. The demon monarchs didn’t hide their demonic powers as they charged at Changfeng City at full speed.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
Inside a seemingly ordinary residence near one of Changfeng City’s walls was a ten-foot-tall, black-green, pagoda-shaped building. Ten guards were inside this building. The leader of this group was a Godfiend. This building was the mysterious Demon Seeking Pagoda. The Demon Seeking Pagoda was extremely sensitive towards demonic powers. Just a sliver of released demonic power would be sensed from 50 kilometers away. Furthermore, it could sense demonic powers up to 2.5 kilometers underground. However, the Demon Seeking Pagoda wasn’t mobile and wasn’t easily built.
Changfeng City had a total of 12 Demon Seeking Pagodas. Six of them were 2.5 kilometers underground to prevent demon monarchs from carrying out underground sneak attacks.
“Demon monarchs.” The mortal guards’ expressions changed drastically.
“Demon monarchs are attacking from outside the city. There’s plenty of them!” The commanding Godfiend’s expression was ugly. “They aren’t even hiding. I can sense more than 300 demon monarchs outside the eastern city wall.”
