Chapter 328 - The threat of a million demon monarchs
Meng Chuan transformed into a lightning snake and arrived outside the eastern city wall in the blink of an eye. He charged at the third Firmament demon monarchs. Wherever the lightning snake passed, third Firmament demon monarchs collapsed.
“Not good.”
“Run!”
“Quick, flee.” Seeing how fast the lightning snake was, the other third Firmament demon monarchs were alarmed. They immediately burrowed into the ground and fled.
The lightning snake stopped, and Meng Chuan’s figure appeared. Only 51 third Firmament demon monarchs died out of more than 200. The rest fled in fear?
The demon monarchs fled decisively upon sensing the threat of death! It was only thanks to Meng Chuan being the fastest in the world that he had killed 51 third Firmament demon monarchs in such a short time. As for those that fled underground, Meng Chuan could do nothing. After all, he was but a single person.
Swoosh. Meng Chuan transformed into a lightning snake and rushed towards the northern city wall.
Liu Qiyue flew south. She released Quintessential Essence threads; they surged towards the southern city wall.
These demon monarchs are coming from outside the city. They didn’t enter the city from underground. From the looks of it, the demons also know of the existence of Demon Seeking Pagodas.
If demon monarchs charged into the city from underground and slaughtered the population wantonly, it would result in a terrifying destruction. Therefore, Changfeng City had built six Demon Seeking Pagodas aboveground. Another six Demon Seeking Pagodas were built 2.5 kilometers underground and were distributed intricately. When a large group of demon monarchs released their demonic powers, they wouldn’t be able to escape the notice of all the Demon Seeking Pagodas. Traveling underground without the usage of demonic powers was much slower. Furthermore, they would create too big a commotion. The Godfiends responsible for underground defense would sense the intense vibrations.
If they want to enter the city from below, they’ll have to wait for orders five kilometers underground. Only after they travel upwards for five kilometers will they reach the city. It will take them the same amount of time to travel 50 kilometers on the surface. That amount of time is sufficient for Archean Mountain’s reinforcements to arrive.
Ordinary demon monarchs weren’t fast to begin with. They would take about 300 seconds to travel 50 kilometers on land.
An ordinary demon monarch will arrive within 30 seconds if they fly from four kilometers away. Archean Mountain reinforcements won’t be able to arrive in time. Ah Chuan is the fastest in the world. He can travel about 500 kilometers in 30 seconds. Liu Qiyue pondered. She used Phoenix Flight to fly 15 kilometers. She was still 20 kilometers away from the southern city wall. At that moment, her Quintessential Essence threads had already crossed the city wall and attacked the demon monarchs.
Upon sensing a Marquis Godfiend’s Quintessential Essence threads, over 500 demon monarchs at the southern wall immediately fled underground. However, the Quintessential Essence threads were too fast. Liu Qiyue killed over 100 demon monarchs.
Not good. They’re about to enter the city. High in the sky, Liu Qiyue immediately saw over 200 third Firmament demon monarchs arriving at the city wall. The demon monarchs had varying speeds. The faster demon monarchs deliberately slowed down to stay with the main group of demon monarchs.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
The demon monarchs jumped over the city wall and tried to start a massacre. The Quintessential Essence threads were unable to threaten them.
In her anxiety, Liu Qiyue saw a bolt of lightning rush over. Wherever it passed, demon monarchs died.
“Not good.”
“Run!”
Just as the third Firmament demon monarchs leaped over the city wall and began their massacre, they saw a bolt of lightning flash past them. The demon monarchs died one after another. They fled without any hesitation.
Meng Chuan looked into the distance. Many buildings and trees were reduced to ruins. Blood flowed from some of the ruins.
The city was too large. Meng Chuan first went to the eastern city wall before going to the northern city wall. After that, he went to the western city wall. Marchioness Plum Snow was slower than Liu Qiyue, so the western city wall was in a worse state. Finally, he came to the southern city wall.
“Ah Chuan.” Liu Qiyue flew to Meng Chuan’s side.
“Over 600 demon monarchs died. The rest fled,” said Meng Chuan. “Changfeng City has suffered significant losses. Hundreds of people have died on the western city wall. The southern city wall suffered the most casualties, probably tens of thousands.”
He was just one step slower.
More than 200 third Firmament demon monarchs charged into the city. They had fled after being slaughtered, but still, tens of thousands of people had died. This was the destructive power of demon monarchs.
If only he could be faster!
“What about the other large cities? Are there any requests for help?” asked Liu Qiyue.
“Two large cities have requested help. One is over 5,000 kilometers away from us, while the other is 3,000 kilometers away from us. Archean Mountain immediately arranged for reinforcements to be sent. They have withdrawn the requests for backup,” said Meng Chuan.
Marchioness Plum Snow flew over from afar. She had seen more than 200 places in the city’s southern region affected by the demon monarchs. She sighed and said, “Changfeng City is too large. Just circling it is a 300-kilometer journey. It’s really impressive that Marquis Eastcalm rescued the four city walls in 30 seconds. If it were just Junior Sister Liu and me, it would be much worse.”
“If it weren’t for Ah Chuan, I would have to use Phoenix’s Nirvana,” said Liu Qiyue. “I’m not sure if my Quintessential Essence threads can reach 50 kilometers even with Phoenix’s Nirvana.”
Meng Chuan looked at his wife and held her hand.
Another large city.
Three thousand demon monarchs attacked from all directions.
A silver-haired old woman stood in midair as her Quintessential Essence erupted crazily. More than 10,000 Quintessential Essence threads spread out from her body.
The moment her Godfiend Quintessential Essence erupted, the demon monarchs outside the city sensed it. Just like how Godfiends could sense demonic powers, the demon monarchs could also sense a Godfiend’s Quintessential Essence.
“Regis Godfiend?”
“Run!”
Almost all demon monarchs received orders from their tokens. Even before they received the order, the demon monarchs began fleeing upon sensing the terrifying Godfiend Quintessential Essence. Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!
Many Quintessential Essence threads shot down at high speeds. The demon monarchs that were slightly slower were killed, their heads penetrated by Quintessential Essence threads. Over 800 demon monarchs died.
Seven demon monarchs continued charging towards the city valiantly. Although they were third Firmament demon monarchs, they had strength comparable to a weak fourth Firmament demon monarch. Their bodies were extremely powerful. Even a Regis Godfiend’s Quintessential Essence threads were only able to injure the seven demon monarchs.
The seven demon monarchs charged towards the city walls from different directions.
The silver-haired old lady’s expression changed slightly. I’m unable to defend each wall. I can only scare them. She immediately retracted her aura. Her Seamless domain isolated all light and prevented reconnaissance techniques from sensing her as she completely vanished.
The demon monarchs were more afraid when they weren’t able to see her. “The Regis Godfiend’s aura has vanished.”
IS
“Humph. She’s about 50 kilometers away from the city wall. She probably needs 30 seconds to arrive.”
“Retreat within 18 seconds.” The seven demon monarchs were extremely fast. They were about four kilometers away from the city wall. The fastest demon monarchs could arrive in six seconds. The slower ones just needed 15 seconds. After leaping across the city wall, the seven demon monarchs began massacring the population, but they quickly fled.
They all fled? They sure are cautious. The silver-haired old woman appeared in the void and looked at the aftermath. More than 10,000 mortals were killed by these seven demon monarchs. The demons ultimately have the number advantage.
Another city.
When 3,000 demon monarchs attacked, black-carapaced beetles appeared around the four walls.
“Black-carapaced beetles? It’s Marquis Five Poisons?”
“Marquis Five Poisons’s 900 black-carapaced beetles have a collective strength close to a Regis Godfiend. They can easily kill third Firmament demon monarchs in a one-on-one battle even when separated.” When these demon monarchs saw the terrifying black-carapaced beetles, they knew which Godfiend was responsible for defending the city. They immediately retreated.
When it was a battle of who had higher numbers in a battle? The Godfiends that refined poisonous bugs were highly proficient.
“We can only try our best to protect most places. The rest can only wait for the sect to provide reinforcements.”
Three Marquis Godfiends released Quintessential Essence threads. The Quintessential Essence threads that were released were centered around themselves. They spread out in an approximate 25-kilometer radius. Some had slightly greater range; some had a slightly smaller range. When the three Marquis Godfiends worked together, their Quintessential Essence threads spread across more than 80% of the city. This scared the second Firmament demon monarchs into fleeing. However, the third Firmament demon monarchs resisted the Quintessential Essence threads and charged into the city. They began massacring the city’s population.
The next morning, Meng Chuan arrived at Archean Mountain.“Junior Brother Meng.” Archean Mountain Lord frowned as he walked towards Grotto-Heaven Pavilion. He saw Meng Chuan descending from the sky. “Mountain Lord, how many cities were attacked last night? How’s the situation?” asked Meng Chuan.
“Ten of our Archean Mountain’s large cities were attacked,” said Archean Mountain Lord, “The cities guarded by Regis Godfiend suffered very light losses. The most they lost were slightly over 10,000 people. The two cities guarded by Marquis Godfiends that needed reinforcements suffered heavy losses.”
“Heavy losses?” Meng Chuan was alarmed.
Archean Mountain Lord nodded and said solemnly, “This was the first time large groups of demon monarchs attacked the cities. With experience, it will be even harder to deal with the next attack.”
Meng Chuan also felt immense pressure. Compared to the fourth and fifth Firmament demon monarchs, the one million ordinary demon monarchs posed a greater threat!
The flaw of humanity’s defense was starkly exposed-they lacked Godfiends!
“By the way, your son, Meng An, has mastered Samsara Intent. He’s preparing to challenge the Life-and-Death juncture the day after tomorrow and become a Godfiend,” said Archean Mountain Lord. “I originally planned on writing a letter to tell you after meeting the Supremacy.”
An’er is about to become a Godfiend? Meng Chuan was pleasantly surprised, but he suffered mixed emotions. His son was about to begin the life of a Godfiend.
