Chapter 290 Heartache

Although the spider demoness instinctively controlled a large number of spider threads to block the attack, the spider demoness was despairingly reduced to dust as the saber beam penetrated her head.

In seconds, half of the originally-confident demon monarch team was killed.

“Too powerful.”

“How could he be so strong?”

The nine-headed lion, flower demoness, and old dragon turtle fled underground. With their strength, it would be impressive if a Regis Godfiend killed half of them when they fled in different directions. However, Meng Chuan had killed three of them before they even made it underground! He was much faster than Regis Godfiends!

Escaping? The Divine Eye of Lightning on Meng Chuan’s glabella had long been opened. The electromagnetic domain enveloped his surroundings. Furthermore, he also cast his Indestructible Divine Armor. A blurry light covered his body, and it caused the surrounding void to collapse and distort. With a wave of his hand, two streams of his dark-cyan baneful aura traversed 1000 feet and caught up to the nine-headed lion demon monarch and the flower demoness.

At the same time, Meng Chuan chased after the old dragon turtle, who had fled the furthest.

“Seal!” The old dragon turtle cast his domain with his full might. Endless fog blocked the two streams of Meng Chuan’s dark-cyan baneful aura-an attempt to help his teammates.

“Damn.” The nine-headed lion demon monarch had seen how terrifying this baneful aura was with his own eyes. Even Serpentwing had been frozen to the point he was unable to resist. Without hesitation, the nine-headed lion demon monarch split into nine avatars.

One of his avatars took the initiative to face the baneful aura as the other eight frantically fled in different directions. This was a life-saving divine power that originated from his bloodline—the Doppelganger Technique. Just using the technique once would severely injure him.

Crackle.

When the baneful aura touched one of the nine-headed lion demon monarch’s avatar, the avatar immediately froze and shattered into pieces. The baneful aura split into eight as it pursued the eight remaining avatars.

“No.” The purple-robed flower demoness revealed a look of panic. She was weak and lovable. A faint green fluctuation emanated from her glabella, heading toward the distant Meng Chuan. However, when it reached Meng Chuan—who had a fourth-level Essence Soul – he wasn’t affected by it at all. Meng Chuan continued controlling his baneful aura to freeze the flower demoness.

The flower demoness shattered into pieces.

What? Meng Chuan frowned slightly. The distance between him and his baneful aura increased since he was pursuing the old dragon turtle. There was a limit to how far his baneful aura could travel away from him!

The nine-headed lion demon monarch’s eight remaining avatars were fleeing very quickly. Even if he chased after them personally, he would not be able to chase the eight avatars simultaneously.

These demon monarchs really have a lot of escaping abilities. Meng Chuan was extremely fast, so he easily caught up to the dragon turtle. “Spare me!” The old dragon turtle pleaded.

Pfft.

The dark-red Demon Slayer easily penetrated the old dragon turtle’s shell and stabbed into its body. Following that, the old dragon turtle’s lifeblood was completely drained, causing his entire body to turn to dust. Even the turtle shell turned to dust.

Whoosh. Meng Chuan swept up the items left behind by the old dragon turtle. He stored the remnants of the flower demoness’s corpse in his pocket grotto-heaven with his Darkstar Quintessential Essence before returning to the surface.

Whoosh.

With a thought, the items left behind by Serpentwing, the spider demoness, and the goat demon monarch were stored away.

Although it took time to describe, the entire battle took roughly 15 seconds.

Two Marquis Godfiends were rushing over! It was about 40 kilometers from one city wall to another. With the average speed of a Marquis godfiend, it would take them more than 30 seconds to arrive. While the two Marquis Godfiends were still on their way, Meng Chuan had already killed five greater demon monarchs. Only the nine-headed lion demon monarch had escaped thanks to his divine power.

“It’s Meng Chuan.” Marquis Southcloud and Marchioness Iron Flower flew over at full speed. From afar, they could see the battle at the northern city wall. However, it was very difficult to see the battle clearly because the mist was so thick. They only felt that the erupted demonic power was astonishing.

They were halfway through their journey when Meng Chuan returned to the surface.

The battle had clearly ended. Meng Chuan nodded slightly at them before transforming into a bolt of lightning and disappearing into the horizon.

“So fast.”

Marquis Southcloud and Marquis Iron Flower exchanged looks.

“That powerful demon monarch team was completely defeated by Meng Chuan?” Marchioness Iron Flower was a valiant woman. She exclaimed, “The two of us jointly guard Chu An City, but Meng Chuan suddenly appeared. He’s acting alone, so he’s probably responsible for reinforcing various cities.”

“Yes.” Marquis Southcloud nodded. “It’s just that we haven’t requested for reinforcements. Why is he here?”

“Perhaps he happened to pass by,” said Marchioness Iron Flower. “It wouldn’t be easy for the two of us to defeat those greater demon monarchs, but he was able to kill them instantly.”

Marquis Southcloud nodded slightly. “Back then, I personally watched him participate in Archean Mountain’s entrance examination and enter Archean Mountain. Now, his strength is above mine.”

Marchioness Iron Flower smiled. “This means that humanity has greater hope.”

Meng Chuan held a token. Two spots on the token emitted green light. They were Eastcalm City and Changfeng City. They were the other two cities he needed to reinforce.

Eastcalm City and Changfeng City have requested for help.However, they are requesting for the lowest-level reinforcements. According to their orders, they are only informing me that demon monarchs have been discovered in the two cities. Everything is still under control.

It was just a warning, but Meng Chuan still flew towards Eastcalm City at full speed.

Swoosh.

He streaked across the sky at an astounding speed. Even Supremacy Qin Wu and Supremacy Li Guan were slightly slower than him. After flying for more than 150 kilometers, Meng Chuan suddenly stopped.

Oh? Meng Chuan looked at the token in his hand in shock. A new request for help appeared on the token. It was blood-colored.

Apart from three large cities, he was also responsible for reinforcing eight medium-sized World Entrances. These eight World Entrances were located around Eastcalm City, Changfeng City, and Chu An City.

Apparently, one of the eight-medium sized World Entrances, Silver Lake Pass, was requesting help. Life-and-death request? Meng Chuan turned anxious.

There were three levels of requests for help: green, purple, and blood-red.

A blood-red dot on his token meant that it was a life-and-death request! It was of greatest urgency!

Swoosh.

Without any hesitation, Meng Chuan turned around and rushed toward the southwest.

Archean Mountain believes that it is relatively unlikely for the eight medium-sized World Entrances to request reinforcements. I never expected a life-and-death situation to occur at the beginning of the battle. The final battle has just begun. Even the time I spent killing the demon monarch team wasn’t enough for the Marquis Godfiends to arrive at the city wall.

Silver Lake Pass. Meng Chuan became anxious. Wait for me. You have to hold on.

Within a small grotto-heaven.

Demon Sage Nine Abyss and the black-robed man looked at the huge, floating map and the light dots scattered across it.

Suddenly, light dot after light dot dissipated.

“Oh?” Demon Sage Nine Abyss and the black-robed man’s expressions changed slightly. “There will eventually be casualties in war. After all, many Imperial Lords have been born in human history. It’s naturally not easy to have a flawless victory,” said the black-robed man. “As long as we win, even if we sacrifice half of them, it’s still worth celebrating.”

The light dots dissipated one after another.

“Considering how the battle has just begun, they are dying too quickly.” Demon Sage Nine Abyss’s expression turned ugly. “This is worse than I expected.”

On Archean Mountain.

Li Guan, an illusory Luo Tang, and an illusory Qin Wu, sat by a tea-table as they looked at the floating map of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Illusory figures could be seen on the floating map.

Whoosh.

An illusory figure disappeared. Following that, another two illusory figures dissipated.

Li Guan, Luo Tang, and Qin Wu watched silently. The disappearance of every illusory figure represented the death of a Godfiend.

Luo Tang could not help but say, “Five Marquis Godfiends and eight Great Solar Godfiends have died in battle,” At that moment, another illusory figure dissipated. “Six Marquis Godfiends!”“We have already done our best,” said Li Guan calmly.

“Perhaps it was not worth guarding so many cities.” The illusory Luo Tang looked somewhat regretful as her heart ached. “It will be much easier to guard the cities if there were 20 fewer.”

“Mortals are the foundation of humanity,” said Li Guan. “If Archean Mountain were to abandon so many cities, the population would greatly decrease. The number of geniuses would also decrease. There would be fewer and weaker Godfiends. We have to ensure that there are enough people in the world. This is the foundation of Godfiends, the foundation of humanity!”

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Like a bubble that had burst, seven figures disappeared in succession.

“Another seven Great Solar Godfiends.” Luo Tang’s eyes turned slightly red.

“Everything is already in place. We can’t afford to retreat. We have to fight to the end.” Qin Wu’s illusory eyes turned slightly red. He was extremely familiar with every dissipating figure. Many were his disciples.

At this moment, Luo Tang was guarding Luo Tang Pass. Li Guan’s true body was guarding Archean Mountain. Li Guan’s Essence Soul avatar and Qin Wu’s true body were also acting as reinforcements. They were already doing their best.
