The Nine Lives Cocoon had played its role!
The human Godfiends failed to blast the white cocoon open with their attacks.
“Holy Lady Strings’s Essence Soul has a very strong defense. It should be a Tribulation treasure,” said King Thousand Wood via voice transmission. To participate in this battle in the World Gap, they naturally knew lots about their enemies! King Thousand Wood’s Magic Awl was his trump card. Unless the demons had an illusion expert, they would have to rely on Tribulation treasures to resist his Magic Awl’s attacks. This was also the reason why King Transcendence didn’t use his Magic Awl when he fought Demon Monarch Coldmoon.
Attacking a sixth-level Essence Soul with a fifth-level Essence Soul Magic Awl—which was refined 30% of one’s Essence Soul’s Origins? Under normal circumstances, they could heavily injure the opponent! There was even a chance of killing them.
However, since the other party had Tribulation treasures, King Transcendence didn’t dare attack. This was because there was a high chance that his Magic Awl would shatter while attacking the other party! Although the Magic Awl was extremely sharp, it was brittle. Once it was shattered, he would lose 30% of his Essence Soul Origins. He would be severely injured, and his strength would be greatly reduced
The other party would only be slightly injured and would still have more than half of their combat strength left. If he did lose 30% of his Essence Soul’s Origins, he would be defenseless as he experienced intense pain. It would just result in his death.
It was better for him to let King Thousand Wood deal with the experts with sixth-level Essence Souls!
Patriarch Poison Dragon naturally didn’t fear the attacks of the Godfiends. He transformed into nine black dragons and charged forward. However, he was unable to charge into the True Martial domain’s Yin-Yang Disc. As for Holy Lady Strings, she was enveloped within the white cocoon as she experienced immense pain.
Demon Monarch Coldmoon naturally hid in the shadow world.
Boom!
King True Martial’s punch failed to penetrate the white cocoon. He turned around and punched at the void again.
The void shattered as the mysterious shadow world was destroyed.
The fist projection tore through the shadow world and struck the fleeing Demon Monarch Coldmoon.
Bam!
Coldmoon’s body transformed into shadow fragments as she fled in panic.
Pfft.
At the same time the shadow world was destroyed, a black Magic Awl rushed towards Demon Monarch Coldmoon. When Demon Monarch Coldmoon used her shadow to take King True Martial’s strike in her stead, the black Magic Awl took the opportunity to burrow into her true body and strike her Essence Soul.
The Magic Awl forcefully tore apart Demon Monarch Coldmono’s Essence Soul.
Demon Monarch Coldmoon clutched her head in pain. Although her Tribulation treasure, Shadow Sword, could protect her Essence Soul, it had a much weaker defense than the Nine Lives Cocoon. She instantly lost consciousness from the pain.
Clang!
The blurry fist shadow struck her body.
After the fist shadow struck Coldmoon’s body, she completely disintegrated and died on the spot. Though she was pulverized, a few treasures remained intact. The dark short sword was the most eye-catching treasure.
Whoosh.
King True Martial waved his hand and grabbed all the treasures left behind by Coldmoon.
A Tribulation treasure. King True Martial was delighted as he looked at the dark short sword in his hand.
Meng Chuan, King Molten, and company were overjoyed by their gains. After all, Tribulation treasures were very precious.
In human history, only Ancestral Master Archean Eon had left behind plenty of Tribulation treasures. Therefore, Archean Mountain had the greatest quantity in this aspect. For example, Black Sand Grotto-Heaven and Eon Sea Sect only had a few Tribulation treasures. Black Sand Grotto-Heaven had only given one Tribulation treasure to their Godfiends—the Fire Refinement Star Cauldron! Two World Island didn’t even give a Tribulation treasure to their Godfiends because it was truly poor. Although Archean Mountain had a rich heritage, they only gave Meng Chuan and King True Martial a Tribulation treasure each. As for King Calm Sea, Peng Mu, and Yun Jianhai, they were given Imperial Lord-level treasures.
The demons were the most wealthy.
Of course, Tribulation treasures had differences. There were a few Tribulation treasures that were left behind by Seventh Tribulation Eminences inside of Ancestral Master Archean Eon’s collection. Fifth and Sixth Tribultaion Eminences left behind most of the remaining Tribulation treasures in Ancestral Master Archean Eon’s collection.
The demons were different. Third and Fourth Tribulation Eminences left behind most of the Tribulation treasures they had.
Although the Nine Lives Cocoon was a Tribulation treasure left by a Fifth Tribulation Eminence, the demons lacked the key rebirth technique—which was required if one wanted a new life after breaking free of the cocoon. That was why it had been one of the Tribulation treasures that Holy Lady Strings could choose from.
COon.
Of course,
Meng Chuan and company were only Regis Godfiends. Tribulation treasures forged by Sixth and Seventh Tribulation Eminences didn’t differ much from those refined by Third Tribulation Eminences because of their lacking cultivation realm and technique realm. The strength they could unleash with the Tribulation treasures wasn’t too great. Only when they reached a sufficiently high realm could a huge difference in strength manifest.
Tribulation treasure. The Godfiends were excited because they had killed a powerful demon monarch and obtained a Tribulation treasure.
Dead? Demon Monarch Coldmoon is dead? Patriarch Poison Dragon was somewhat shocked. With his Undying body, he wasn’t worried about his safety. He could tell at a glance who the key force was. He stared at the distant King True Martial. King True Martial can actually shatter the shadow world with a single punch? When it comes to the void, his technique realm is just too high.
King True Martial did, indeed, reach a very high realm.
Grandsire Yin Yang’s Yin-Yang Art was an Imperial Lord-level ultimate technique. However, King True Martial had created his own ultimate technique-True Martial Seven Absolutes—by basing it on the Yin-Yang Art’s foundation and improving it.
Although he was only at the late stages of the Grotto-Heaven realm, he had similar strength to an expert that had reached the perfected Grotto-Heaven realm with the Yin-Yang Art. Furthermore, his cultivation path was adept in aspects of the void. After Archean Mountain bestowed him a Tribulation treasure to strengthen him, it wasn’t difficult for him to shatter the shadow world with a single punch.
King True Martial was one of the core members of this mission.
The Magic Awl is even more terrifying than I imagined. Holy Lady Strings—who was inside the Nine Lives Cocoon-still felt her Essence Soul thrashing in pain. If I were to take a few more similar blows, my Essence Soul might completely shatter and die. However, it’s said that the Magic Awl is brittle. It shouldn’twon’t attack me continuously.
“Holy Lady Strings and Demon Monarch Coldmoon both have sixth-level Essence Souls. They are protected by Tribulation treasures. Holy Lady Strings has an even stronger Essence Soul defense,” said King Thousand Wood. “When attacking the two of them, a few cracks appeared on my Magic Awl. I’m not confident that I can kill Holy Lady Strings with just the Magic Awl.”
“There’s no need,” said King True Martial. “Your Magic Awl is our trump card. There aren’t many demon monarchs with sixth-level Essence Souls. In the future, you will be able to slaughter those with fifth-level Essence Souls easily. It’s better to use the Magic Awl at critical moments only.”
“As long as your Magic Awl doesn’t shatter, it will be a powerful deterrence,” said King Molten.King Thousand Wood nodded. He was also one of the core members of this mission.
Chi! Chi! Chi!
Holy Lady
Strings continued hiding within the white cocoon. Suddenly, she began to release countless threads that spread around her.
“More demons are coming.” King True Martial suddenly looked into the distance.
Soon, Meng Chuan sensed it as well.
A terrifying aura erupted from afar. A tall, black-haired man stood in midair. His long hair reached his waist. His purple eyes looked into the distance.
From afar, Meng Chuan and the other Godfiends felt the area surrounding the black-haired man collapse. Behind the black-haired man were 18 guards.
“Monarch Peacock is here.” King True Martial, King Molten, and Meng Chuan’s fighting spirit rose. This was a battle between the humans’ and the demons’ strongest combat forces in the World Gap.
Chapter 447 - Battle of Peak Forces
The white cocoon rapidly shrank and retracted into Holy Lady Strings’s body. Holy Lady Strings and Patriarch Poison Dragon flew over and met up with Monarch Peacock.
“The strongest batch of human Regis Godfiends are here.” Monarch Peacock stared at the human Godfiends in the True Martial domain with his purple eyes as his fighting spirit rose. “Peacock, be careful of King True Martial,” said Holy Lady Strings as she flew closer.
“He destroyed the shadow world with a single punch. With King Thousand Wood’s help, he instantly killed Demon Monarch Coldmoon,” said Patriarch Poison Dragon as he flew over.
“Oh?” Monarch Peacock remained extremely calm. “In a while, all you need to do is cooperate with me.”
“Alright,” replied Holy Lady Strings and Patriarch Poison Dragon.
“Monarch Peacock is here.” King Molten’s eyes were filled with excitement. “The strongest fifth Firmament demon monarchs are here.”
“Junior Brother Meng, please cooperate with me later.” King True Martial looked into the distance and sent a voice transmission. “I need you to use your temporal divine power.” As a Godfiend that cultivated the Cosmos Body cultivation system, Meng Chuan’s temporal divine power-Flowing Sand-was indeed very powerful. To kill the powerful demon monarchs, the Godfiends needed exquisite teamwork. As a core force in this mission, King True Martial was naturally informed of Flowing Sand.
“Alright, Senior Brother, you need to be within 30 feet of me,” said Meng Chuan via voice transmission.
“King Thousand Wood and King Molten, cooperate with me later. Let’s try to kill Monarch Peacock together,” said King True Martial via voice transmission.
King Thousand Wood’s face was simple and unadorned. King Molten’s fighting spirit boiled as he sent a voice transmission. “Don’t worry.”
“The demons have been preparing for more than ten years. Their strength must have improved greatly. Everyone, be careful.” King True Martial sent a voice transmission to all the Godfiends.
All the Godfiends present were solemn. Meng Chuan had already released Dao Protector Wang Shan from his pocket Grotto-Heaven.
Whoosh.
The True Martial domain protected the Godfiends as they rapidly flew towards Monarch Peacock. They were extremely fast. With Meng Chuan carrying the Godfiends, their speed naturally far exceeded the demon monarchs’.
Monarch Peacock said coldly, “Leave it to me.”
The other demon monarchs stopped in midair. Monarch Peacock charged forward with a dark purple spear in his hand. An enormous, black peacock phantom appeared behind him. It spread its wings and soared. Monarch Peacock’s flying speed was extremely astonishing. He actually reached a terrifying speed of more than 15 kilometers per second as he charged over.
One demon monarch against a group of Godfiends.
As they charged at each other, the 50-kilometer gap between the two parties instantly shortened to five kilometers. The battle instantly erupted.
“How arrogant.” King Molten held the Fire Refinement Star Cauldron that was several times larger than himself and smashed it down.
“Die!” With a thought from King Thousand Wood, his Magic Awl flew out and appeared in front of Monarch Peacock.
Divine power—Flowing Sand! Meng Chuan also used his divine power. Silver runes appeared on both sides of his head as strands of silver lightning flashed around his head. Silver lightning filled Meng Chuan’s eyes as he looked around. Wisps of silver lightning appeared in a 30-foot radius of him, enveloping King True Martial.
King True Martial had already gathered his strength.
The flow of time for the two changed. In the eyes of others, they had sped up.
King True Martial could sense the adjusted flow of time since he had been studying the time lineage. However, his attainments were still very low. This was because the True Martial lineage mainly focused on the void lineage.
Meng Chuan’s Flowing Sand has sped up the flow of time by ten-fold; it’s a greater boost than King Calm Sea’s sword art. King True Martial was very satisfied.
Although the Ten Absolutes of World Annihilation had been created due to a stroke of inspiration, it didn’t actually do much in actual combat. After all, an opponent-who had similar strength-wouldn’t just stay idle and watch him deliver ten punches. Thus, he could only unleash this technique instantly with King Calm Sea or Meng Chuan’s help.
When King True Martial punched out, the dark Magic Awl had already drilled into Monarch Peacock’s body.
Huh? King Thousand Wood’s expression changed slightly. He had a sixth-level Essence Soul, and he had used 30 percent of his Essence Soul’s Origins to refine the Magic Awl. One could imagine how powerful his Magic Awl was. Even Holy Lady Strings and Demon Monarch Coldmoonwho both had sixth-level Essence Souls and Tribulation treasures-were affected by the attack greatly. One ended up severely injured while barely remaining somewhat lucid. The other fell unconscious and was unable to put up a defense. As for Monarch Peacock, he only had a fifth-level Essence Soul. However, the three Imperial Lords had never been worried because a true Dark Peacock could ignore Essence Soul mystic techniques. Dark Peacocks were extremely strong when it came to head-on battles. In the River of Spacetime, Dark Peacocks were considered an extremely powerful lifeform. They were comparable to phoenixes, true dragons, and etc.
Of course, Monarch Peacock wasn’t a true Dark Peacock. However, the awakened bloodline in his body had pushed him infinitely close to becoming a true Dark Peacock. He could probably transform into a Dark Peacock completely if he awakened his bloodline one more time.
Crackle…
When the Magic Awl entered Monarch Peacock’s body, it was as though it had entered a dark vortex. The black vortex constantly pulled the Magic Awl, causing many cracks to appear on it.
After passing through the dark vortex with great difficulty, the Magic Awl emerged from Monarch Peacock’s body with many more cracks than before.
I can’t find its Essence Soul at all. Has its Essence Soul fused with the black vortex? King Thousand Wood was secretly alarmed. “Humph.” Monarch Peacock let out a painful grunt.
Boom!
The gigantic Fire Refinement Star Cauldron smashed through the void and arrived in front of Monarch Peacock. Monarch Peacock was affected by the Magic Awl after it had pierced through the black vortex in his body. Thus, he only had time to block the Tribulation treasure with his left hand.
However, this strike was King Molten’s strongest attack!
He used a forbidden spell so that he could release his Quintessential Essence maximally. He pushed the Fire Refinement Star Cauldron’s strength to the limits of what he could withstand. Although blood flowed out from King Molten’s mouth and nose, the power behind this strike was terrifying.
Although Monarch Peacock’s left hand had immense strength, he was still suppressed by the Fire Refinement Star Cauldron. The huge flaming cauldron crushed Monarch Peacock’s arm and smashed into his head.
Bam!
The Fire Refinement Star Cauldron struck Monarch Peacock’s head.
Monarch Peacock’s extremely powerful body staggered backward as blood flowed from his forehead.
/> “Oh?” Monarch Peacock looked up and saw a terrifying gray pillar of light. With Flowing Sand affecting the flow of time, King True Martial’s ten punches moved extremely quickly. Infusing the Tribulation treasure’s Yin-Yang energy and the Power of the True Martial into his arm, King True Martial punched out ten times consecutively. The gray pillar of light-formed by the ten punches-instantly tore through the void. Even Monarch Peacock didn’t have time to dodge it. The scene of the gray pillar of light tearing through the void caused all the Godfiends and demon monarchs to fall silent.
This was an extremely terrifying move.Even with a Tribulation treasure’s help, at the cost of suffering heavy injuries, King True Martial could only use this move once in a short period of time. Furthermore, thanks to Meng Chuan’s divine power-Flowing Sandhe had struck out ten times nearly instantly.
This strike was comparable to Qin Wu’s sword formation!
Boom!
Monarch Peacock had no time to dodge the gray pillar of it. He could only hold his spear horizontally in front of him as he braced for impact.
The gray pillar of light instantly enveloped him.
“Ahhh!” Monarch Peacock let out an angry roar. Within the gray pillar of light, his body began to shatter.
In the blink of an eye, Monarch Peacock’s body completely shattered and disappeared.
Where Monarch Peacock once stood, only a spear, a dark purple robe, and a few other items floated in midair.
Chapter 448 - Tragic
He’s dead? King Transcendence, King Molten, and King Gu Eyes revealed looks of excitement.
The distant Holy Lady Strings, Patriarch Poison Dragon, and the Eighteen Black River Guard found it unbelievable.
King True Martial’s expression was solemn, without a hint of delight.
