Chapter 65: Yan Jin

“Dad, are you hiding the fact you are a Godfiend from Grandaunt?” asked Meng Chuan.

His grandaunt yearned for a Godfiend to appear in the clan.

“Chuan’er, I became a Godfiend for special reasons.” Meng Dajiang ultimately revealed some secrets to his son. “First of all, this matter has to be kept a secret. I can’t openly help the clan. Secondly, I’m too weak as a Godfiend. In fact, all Body Tempering Godfiends are very weak.”

“Very weak?” Meng Chuan was puzzled.

“Eight hundred years ago, when the demons first invaded,” Meng Dajiang said via voice transmission, “the human Godfiends, and demon monarchs fought numerous major battles. The Godfiends discovered that amongst the demons, some of them were extremely talented and had terrifyingly mighty bodies. Thus, the top-tier Godfiends began to ponder on how to strengthen their bodies. Thus, they established the body-tempering lineage.”

“As it was unprecedented and due to their lack of experience, the third firmament’s Great Solar realm is the theoretical limit for the Body Tempering Godfiend lineage,” said Meng Dajiang. “To reach this limit, you need a large number of natural treasures to nourish the body. It’s too extravagant and wasteful.”

“It’s too wasteful, and it doesn’t have a promising future. Due to the incomplete cultivation formulas, it also makes cultivation a lot more difficult,” said Meng Dajiang through voice transmission. “This is a failed path. Perhaps this path might be perfected thousands of years from now, but currently, it’s far from complete.”

Meng Chuan nodded slightly. It’s no wonder he had never heard of it before.

“Those that can enter Archean Mountain are all geniuses. Their first goal is to reach the Great Solar realm,” said Meng Dajiang. “Their first goal is already the Body Tempering Godfiend lineage’s theoretical limit, so you can tell how weak we are. For example, King Calm Sea is a famous Godfiend. He could probably kill a Great Solar Godfiend with a single glance. Becoming an expert like King Calm Sea is the goal of every Godfiend from Archean Mountain. It’s also something you should pursue.”

“Yes.” Meng Chuan nodded.

King Calm Sea… He had been guarding Calm Sea Pass all this time! Previously, his grandaunt was also under his command. Even his grandaunt had said that King Calm Sea’s strength was in no way inferior to the famous Godfiend of old, Deng Feng. Now, his father was claiming that he could kill a Great Solar realm Godfiend with just a glance?

“Dad, can the Godfiends at Jadesun Palace obtain victory?” Meng Chuan asked.

“I don’t know.” Meng Dajiang shook his head. “If Jadesun Palace wins, then it spells victory for Eastcalm Prefecture. If they lose, Eastcalm Prefecture will be reduced to a scorched land. Your Uncle Liu and I… can’t stop the scourge at all.”

“Let’s hope they win.” Meng Chuan wouldn’t believe they’d be defeated.

Meng Dajiang looked at his son. There was something he hadn’t said. Since the demons had sent Demon Monarch Poison Pool to sweep the area, it meant that the demons definitely had the upper hand.

That was indeed the case.

Jadesun Palace.

The black-furred ape raised his pole and transformed into a black beam, attacking Fairy Meng.

Behind Fairy Meng was the extremely weak Yun Wanhai—whose bones were broken and fractured. He no longer had any combat strength left.

“Scram!” Fairy Meng shouted. Immediately, illusory palms struck at the black-furred ape, but they were all shattered by its pole.

Clang!

Fairy Meng’s walking stick collided with the pole. The force of the strike that split apart her many illusory palms had greatly reduced. When it faced Fairy Meng’s walking stick again, the black-furred ape was sent tumbling backward.

Cough. Fairy Meng’s face flushed as blood trickled down the corner of her mouth.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! The raging Jadesun Palace Lord punched out dozens of times in a frenzy. Every punch was dazzling to the eye. Finally, he managed to push the towering Demon Monarch Domineering Roar and thorny Demon Monarch Whitesink back. He immediately retreated to Fairy Meng.

“Fairy, how is it?” Jadesun Palace Lord was somewhat worried. “That ape is too fast. I wasn’t able to stop him.”

Among the demon monarchs, Domineering Roar had the greatest strength while Ape had the highest agility and speed; Ape was as fast as Meng Chuan. A true battle depended on a multitude of factors. Third Firmament Demon Monarch Whitesink was clearly the strongest. He was the only one who could hold back Jadesun Palace Lord head-on.

“I can still withstand about three more strikes,” said Fairy Meng via voice transmission. “However, after those three strikes. I’ll be done.”

“If you collapse, I won’t be able to stop them either,” Jadesun Palace Lord said bitterly.

With Fairy Meng’s domain helping him, he was like a tiger with wings, and his strength was boosted slightly. The domain also suppressed their opponents, weakening them slightly. This was the only reason why he had been able to endure his opponents’ attacks.

If not for Fairy Meng, he could only run for his life. Escape might not even be possible!

“Demon Monarch Ape, follow this method! We will win once Fairy Meng is killed,” ordered Whitesink through voice transmission. “Go.”

“Haha, kill.” Domineering Roar was extremely valiant.

The three demon monarchs joined forces to attack again.

Jadesun Palace Lord had no choice but to defend. In truth, although Demon Monarch Poison was gone, he was the weakest out of the four demon monarchs. The poisonous fog was completely suppressed by the domain. As for close combat? Poison Pool’s close combat ability was considered average. Compared to the fast Demon Monarch Ape and the extremely powerful Demon Monarch Domineering Roar, he was too inferior.

Both sides clashed again. Whitesink and Domineering Roar held back Jadesun Palace Lord while Ape moved to attack Fairy Meng once again.

“Don’t even think about leaving.” Jadesun Palace Lord punched out and light—in the shape of a fist—flew towards Ape.

He had to think of a way to hold back three people. He couldn’t let any of them attack Fairy Meng. But it was clearly too difficult.

It was especially difficult to pin the agile black-furred ape down.

Ape flashed a few times in the form of a black beam, escaping Jadesun’s interference in mere seconds and arrived in front of Fairy Meng. Fairy Meng had no choice but to resist. Her injuries worsened every time she engaged in close combat.

“Fairy, I never expected that the two of us would die together,” said Yun Wanhai with a weak chuckle.

“Shut your foul mouth. We aren’t dead yet!” Fairy Meng was also trying her best to hold on.

However, Fairy Meng also knew that they were in a perilous situation.

Poison Pool rushed towards Jadesun Palace.

Along the way, he encountered battles between humans and demons. These battles occurred throughout the city.

There was a battle ahead of Poison Pool. The three humans had great teamwork. Two of them were defending against the demons while the third—an archer—kept shooting arrows. Although he wasn’t at the level of a sharpshooter, he was strong and accurate enough. His arrows had powerful might. As his companions engaged in close combat with the demons, he shot out an arrow that penetrated a demon’s head.

“Well done.”

“Let’s kill the next one.” The three experts at the Mortal Shedding realm were veterans and had excellent teamwork. They had killed more than ten demons consecutively.

Whoosh~

A black fog quickly flew over from afar. When he passed through the area, he sent out his black fog, which swept past the three veterans. The three veterans stared at the fog with wide eyes, filled with indignation. They immediately became pools of blood due to the black fog.

Poison Pool thought nothing of it. He was just killing a few humans while returning to Jadesun Palace.

Moments later, when Poison Pool flew past a river, he saw a battle in the distance.

A white-robed youth held two swords as he engaged in battle with a group of demons. There were many demon corpses around him.

Whoosh. Frost permeated the surroundings, causing the demons to slow down.

As he brandished his two swords, he constantly killed demons. No matter how the demons defended against the attacks, they were killed.

Pfft.

Even a tiger demon lieutenant commander was slain as well.

What a powerful human. Although he can’t match up to that young man with a saber, he has the strength of a demon commander. Poison Pool was secretly alarmed. Unfortunately, with his strength, he isn’t worth any bounty.

There were plenty of geniuses among the humans who could match a demon commander. Although he was impressive, he wouldn’t garner too much attention from the demons.

In ancient Godfiend family clans of places like the Zhou Dynasty Capital, if one were talented enough, they would be nurtured extensively. Their Godfiend foundations would be very robust and deep. In the mortal realm, they could match demon commanders. However, such geniuses wouldn’t join the military when they were mortals. Instead, they would enter Archean Mountain and become powerful Godfiends before fighting the demons.

To have these geniuses serve the military and fight on the meat grinder-like battlefield would be irresponsible of the human race.

Killing a genius isn’t too bad either. Poison Pool flew towards the white-robed youth.

“Mmm?” The white-robed young man was none other than Yan Jin.

Jadesun Palace had sent away everyone before the battle between the Godfiends and demon monarchs started. After all, mortals would be affected if they remained.

Yan Jin had also left. He had killed many demons along the way.

Demon monarch? Yan Jin shuddered when he saw the blurry figure in the black fog rapidly approaching him.

After the battle at Idle Stone Garden, although his family clan had sent more powerful guards over, they were only Core Condensation realm experts.

Ever since Yan Jin reached the Seamless realm, his strength was no less than his guards’, so the guard had left silently. After all, an expert at the Core Condensation realm had many things to do.

Why would I encounter a demon monarch? Shouldn’t the demon monarchs be battling against the Godfiends at Jadesun Palace? Yan Jin’s expression changed drastically. He did not hesitate to turn and flee. He did not have the confidence to resist at all.

“Little guy, do you think you can escape?” Poison Pool was very fast as he chased Yan Jin. The black fog quickly covered the area.
