“Yes.” Peng Mu, Yun Jianhai, Meng Chuan, and Wang Shan nodded solemnly.
Everyone was armed to the teeth. It was one thing for them to cultivate mystic techniques, but King True Martial had obtained a Tribulation treasure. Peng Mu and Yun Jianhai had also been given Imperial Lord-level weapons. There was no need to mention Meng Chuan and Wang Shan.
Their goal here was to kill as many demon monarchs as they could.
Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!
The five of them split into three teams and moved quickly.
“Junior Brother Meng, my body is rather special,” said Wang Shan. “The body of a Dao Protector is used by generations of Dao Protectors through possession. It can resist the world’s limitations on lifespan, greatly extending the lifespan of us Regis Godfiends. However, it has a huge flaw. This body is too burdensome to one’s Essence Soul. The pressure on my Essence Soul is too great. I can only stay lucid for a period of time.
“My Essence Soul is at the sixth-level. I can possess a Dao Protector’s body. At most, I can stay awake for 120 years. Other times, I have to meditate or be in deep sleep. I’ve been awake for a few decades since I became a Dao Protector. I can still stay awake for over 70
years.”
Wang Shan looked at Meng Chuan. “You have a small grotto-heaven, right? If you let me stay in a small grotto-heaven normally, I’ll meditate in there. When you travel through the World Gap, only awaken me when you encounter enemies.”
Meng Chuan nodded. “Understood.”
A Dao Protector’s time was very precious!
Their mission in the World Gap would last decades. If the Dao Protector stayed awake the entire time, the expenditure on his remaining time would be too great.
“Senior Brother Wang, don’t resist. I’ll put you into a small grotto-heaven first,” said Meng Chuan.
Wang Shan nodded.
Swoosh.
Meng Chuan waved his hand and stored Wang Shan into his small grotto-heaven.
Inside the small Grotto-Heaven, Wang Shan sat cross-legged on the ground. He smiled and closed his eyes. The body of a Dao Protector is indeed extraordinary. It can greatly extend a Regis Godfiend’s lifespan when they near the end of it. Meng Chuan sighed. However, it is a greatly flawed method. At the very least, one needs to have a fifth-level Essence Soul before they can possess the body. Furthermore, they can only stay lucid for a short period of time. However, it’s impressive that they can break through the world’s limits on one’s lifespan.
Swoosh.
Meng Chuan flew alone in the World Gap. He wore a mask and used his Seamless domain to isolate light. He carefully hid from sight.
The demons can also isolate light in the World Gap. They can’t be seen with the naked eye alone. Should I use a domain to probe? No, when the domain detects an enemy, the enemy will also discover me.
All fifth Firmament demon monarchs had acute senses. They also had domains that aided them in scanning their surroundings. I’ll take my time searching for them. Meng Chuan flew around the World Gap as he searched for fifth Firmament demon monarchs.
Most fifth Firmament demon monarchs in the Demon Realm had come to the World Gap. It was a rare cultivation opportunity. However, there were only a few hundred of them. After forming teams, they had split into dozens of teams.
The vast World Gap made it impossible for one to see everything with the naked eye. To search for dozens of teams?
It was quite difficult.
Fortunately, he had reconnaissance techniques. Fifth Firmament demon monarchs mostly come to the World Gap to cultivate. Very few of them are here to snatch treasures. Those weaker fifth Firmament demon monarchs have the self-awareness to not involve themselves in the treasure snatching.
As for those that are cultivating, they’re definitely watching the birth of the world. I just need to search for the phenomena produced by the birthing world. By doing this, I’ll have a chance of finding demon monarchs. Meng Chuan flew around the World Gap as he thought up a plan. However, I have to be careful. These phenomena are typically close to the outer realm. If I’m careless and I end up charging out of the World Gap, I’ll probably lose my life once I fall into the outer realm.
He flew around as he searched for demon monarchs.
He finally arrived at the spot where the world had shattered. There was no way forward.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
One side was the normal World Gap, while endless darkness was on the other.
At the intersection, purple lightning struck. Boundless purple lightning converged into a huge tree. Meng Chuan was still shocked by this scene. The huge, purple lightning tree split apart the black-white air currents, stirring up dark energy. The world membrane slowly expanded as the splitting of the heavens and earth continued.
The last time he came here, he was still a Marquis Godfiend. Now that Meng Chuan had reached the Dharma Domain realm, and had also studied the Bloodblade Disc and Star Cluster Building’s ultimate techniques, he gained new insights after seeing the purple lightning once again.
When I’m free, I’ll definitely paint the purple lightning again. After thinking that, he flew dozens of kilometers away from the fractured world.
He flew for an hour.
He saw a colorful bubble appear where the world had shattered. Purple lightning struck down furiously.
The colorful bubble spanned about five kilometers as it encompassed the horizons.
According to the intelligence provided by King True Martial and company, this colorful bubble is extremely dangerous. Once it explodes, everything within 50 kilometers will be destroyed. Even the world in this area will be destroyed. Godfiends and demon monarchs will definitely die. Meng Chuan looked at the bubble and felt a sense of danger. He immediately stayed 100 kilometers away from the colorful bubble. There were two sources of danger in the World Gap—the demon monarchs and the World Gap itself.
Many dangers appeared during the birth of a World Gap. This was also the reason why Meng Chuan and company had decided to cultivate in a certain place. They couldn’t go anywhere randomly! If they accidentally entered a dangerous place, they might lose their lives.
Since they were careful and cautious, they would rather hide far away when facing an unknown danger.
Half a day after Meng Chuan arrived in the World Gap He carefully scanned the area with his electromagnetic domain.
Huh? Meng Chuan looked at a distant area.
In the region, a demon monarch’s head appeared. It stared at the masked Meng Chuan with a threatening and warning look in its eyes.
Humans and demons were mortal enemies! However, in the World Gap, the goal of both parties was to cultivate and seize treasures. Therefore, they would only engage in battle when treasures were born or sighted. Typically, very few battles would occur. Otherwise, it would be very difficult for both parties to cultivate in peace if a battle ensued whenever they met.
This was a form of tacit understanding.
If one accidentally encountered the other party, if one didn’t wish to fight, they would immediately retreat and stay sufficiently far away from the other party. However, it was different this time. Humanity’s goal was no longer to cultivate or seize treasures. Instead, their goal was to kill demon monarchs-all fifth Firmament demon monarchs!
There’s a demon monarch team ahead. They’re studying the birth of the world there. Meng Chuan was delighted by the discovery.
The black demon head stared at Meng Chuan as an invisible domain swept across Meng Chuan. He was clearly waiting for Meng Chuan to retreat. At the same time, he sent a voice transmission to his two companions. “I’ve discovered a Godfiend. There might be other Godfiends hiding in the shadows.”“Do you know who the human Godfiend is?”
“He’s wearing a mask. I don’t know him,” said the black demon head via voice transmission. “There’s no need to awaken the other demon monarchs for now. It won’t be too late to awaken them if he doesn’t retreat.”
&
nbsp; The three of them had to be on guard while cultivating. The other demon monarchs focused on their cultivation.
That’s not right. The black demon head’s eyes began to blur. His Essence Soul suffered a blow, causing it to be dazed. He found it difficult to stay lucid.
Essence Soul Star-Astral Wave.
The Astral Wave had a huge impact on a fifth-level Essence Soul. The fifth Firmament demon monarch-who only had a fourth-level Essence Soul-instantly fell into a daze. His mind became slow, finding it difficult to process information. His slow mind finally reacted. Essence Soul mystic technique?
Pfft.
A Bloodblade pierced through his head.
Chapter 419 - In a Daze
When Meng Chuan released the Bloodblades, the Bloodblade tore out like lightning. The rip through the sky naturally alarmed the surrounding fifth Firmament demon monarchs.
They jolted awake from their cultivation and turned their heads.
The Bloodblade instantly reduced their companion’s—who had been struck by the Astral Wave-head to dust upon penetration. With a whoosh, four more Bloodblades pierced through the demon monarch’s body, completely shattering his body. A powerful fifth Firmament demon monarch died on the spot.
“Human Godfiend.”
“It’s a human.”
“Be careful.”
There were a total of nine fifth Firmament demon monarchs. After one of them was killed by Meng Chuan, the remaining eight demon monarchs quickly gathered and were on high alert. According to their experience in the World Gap, humans who dared to roam the World Gap weren’t to be trifled with. Even if they had the confidence to deal with them, they couldn’t afford to be careless.
“He’s here. It seems like he’s alone,” said a three-eyed toad demon monarch in a deep voice. An invisible wave spread out as he discovered Meng Chuan flying over at high speeds.
There are eight of them left! In reality, Meng Chuan’s current flying speed wasn’t fast. In a flash, he traversed six kilometers. He drew close to the demon monarchs because he wanted to use his electromagnetic domain to probe their strength. There’s no threat. There’s no need to summon Senior Brother Wang Shan for now.
“Let’s wait for him to approach before attacking,” said a black-furred lion demon monarch in a low voice.
“He’s tempting fate by charging over alone..”
“There aren’t many human Godfiends that can take on eight of us alone,” said a silver-haired demoness softly. She looked at the approaching figure in the distance, her eyes filled with cold killing intent.
Humans and demons were mortal enemies.
If they stayed away from each other in the World Gap, everything would be fine.
However, once the gap between the two parties narrowed, neither side would hold back. There was only one thing to do-kill!
“Attack.” The silver-haired demoness suddenly let out a silent screech. A gray rune appeared at her glabella. The Power of Essence Soul and demonic powers complemented each other, forming a strange sound wave that blasted towards Meng Chuan.
Divine power-Sound of Death. This was a sound that only an Essence Soul could hear. It was said that hearing the sound represented the arrival of death. It was a terrifying divine power that targeted the Essence Soul.
Regardless of how strong one’s technique realm was, one would die if they failed to withstand the divine power.
An ugly demon monarch-wrapped in a black robe-smiled hideously. His body suddenly withered. At the same time, a blood-red figure flew out of his body. The blood-red figure was extremely fast. In a flash, it traveled about 25 kilometers as it pounced towards Meng Chuan.
Divine power-Blood Clone. This divine power could control the enemy with his blood, turning them into an avatar. During this process, the enemy would naturally die.
Whoosh.
The black lion demon monarch opened his mouth, causing a black wind to blow towards Meng Chuan. The black wind was like countless sharp blades that sliced through the void. Wherever it passed, the void would distort.
The eight fifth Firmament demon monarchs had carefully selected the members of this team before it formed. Their abilities complemented each other.
Apart from their dead companion, among the eight remaining fifth Firmament demon monarchs, three were at the peak of the fifth Firmament. Even the weaker fifth Firmament demon monarchs had powerful divine powers that made them stand out.
In the demon monarch cultivation system, the fifth Firmament realm was the final stage of divine power awakening. These divine powers represented their talent; they were also their ultimate moves.
At that moment, the attacks that surrounded Meng Chuan targeted his Essence Soul and blood. Some were poisonous; some were strong winds, while the other attacks were domains and stingers.
If the eight fifth Firmament demon monarchs attacked simultaneously, even if one had reached the Creation realm, one might not be able to withstand it.
Swoosh.
Still flying, Meng Chuan was the first to hear the Sound of Death.
Sharp fluctuations surged into Meng Chuan’s sea of consciousness. The Essence Soul in his sea of consciousness slowly spun, emitting an ancient and eternal charm.
Bam!
The sharp fluctuations were extremely powerful, but Meng Chuan’s Essence Soul Star slowly spun and negated all the impact.
Meng Chuan frowned slightly. He used his movement technique to enter the deep void, causing the attacks that followed-Blood Clone, Tail Stinger, Poison, etc-to miss. Nine embodiments formed in the outside world as they charged towards the eight fifth Firmament demon monarchs.
“He entered the deep void?”
“Then many of our moves are useless against him.”
These fifth Firmament demon monarchs still failed to recognize Meng Chuan. This was because they had been in the World Gap for several years. Meng Chuan’s strength had been exposed only a year ago. Since they focused on cultivating and snatching treasures, they didn’t obtain any of the latest intelligence on Meng Chuan. Furthermore, it wasn’t easy for them to contact the Demon Realm. Thus, most fifth Firmament demon monarchs in the World Gap didn’t have the latest intelligence on Meng Chuan.
“Let’s go.”
“He’s hiding in the deep void and can attack us at will. Our methods, on the other hand, are useless. Don’t waste time with him. Hurry up and leave.” The eight fifth Firmament demon monarchs immediately made up their minds to leave. At the same time, they used various means to protect them as they retreated, creating an impregnable defense. Whoosh.
From the deep void, Meng Chuan suddenly arrived at the outermost layer of the void. He arrived in the middle of the eight fifth Firmament demon monarchs.
“Kill him!” When the eight fifth Firmament demon monarchs saw Meng Chuan suddenly appear among them, they couldn’t help but be enraged. All of them wanted to attack him.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The moment Meng Chuan appeared, he immediately unleashed Astral Waves.
Waves of energy surged in all directions. Essence Soul attacks were extremely fast. Before the fifth Firmament demon monarchs could attack, their Essence Souls had been struck by the Astral Waves. Instantly, three fifth Firmament demon monarchs lost consciousness due to the attack. Three other fifth Firmament demon monarchs felt dazed, causing their thoughts to slow down. Only the silver-haired demoness and the black-furred lion demon monarch remained conscious. The silver-haired demoness and the black-furred lion demon monarch were alarmed by Meng Chuan’s attack. It’s an Essence Soul mystic technique!
“It’s an Essence Soul mystic technique that targets a wide area! Hurry up and escape,” said the silver-haired demoness anxiously.
The Astral Wave was different from a Magic Awl. The attack originated from the Essence Soul Star—the only mysterious legacy that was restricted by the River of Spacetime. Unleashing Astral Waves had no side-effects. It was much weaker than the Magic Awl Forbidden Spell. Against enemies w
ith a same-level Essence Soul, Astral Waves only affected their strength. However, Astral Waves could be used to attack all enemies in the vicinity. It was an area-of-effect attack, while the Magic Awl targeted a singular enemy at a time.
Therefore, after Meng Chuan entered the depths of the void and reached the eight fifth Firmament demon monarchs, he unleashed an Astral Wave…
Struck by the Astral Wave, six fifth Firmament demon monarchs lost the ability to resist.
Only two fifth Firmament monarchs remained. Although the silver-haired demoness only had a fourth-level Essence Soul, she had an Essence Soul divine power. She had extremely high attainments in Essence Soul mystic techniques and had extremely strong resistance against them. The other demon monarch had a fifth-level Essence Soul.
Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!
Bloodblades attacked the silver-haired demoness and the black-furred lion demon monarch, who were still conscious.
“No.” The silver-haired demoness wanted to burrow underground, but she was quickly penetrated by the sanguine light beam. Her body was reduced to dust. “Scram!” The black-furred lion roared angrily. Black wind surrounded him as he charged underground.
Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!
A total of 13 Bloodblades surrounded the black-furred lion demon monarch. The black wind around his body was extremely resilient. The layers of black wind weakened the Bloodblades’ strength by 30%. His fur, muscles, and bones were extremely strong. The Bloodblades barely pierced through the black-furred lion’s body, only leaving tiny holes. The lion demon monarch’s wounds instantly healed.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
With every cycle, three Bloodblades accelerated within Meng Chuan’s electromagnetic domain. The three Bloodblades traveled 50 kilometers around Meng Chuan eight times! Their speeds became even more terrifying.
I have to leave quickly. The black-furred lion demon monarch frantically wrapped the black wind around him and fled through the underground at high speeds.“Go.” The three Bloodblades—which had accelerated to the extreme-descended.
