Chapter 281 Demon Army

After the black-robed illusory figure vanished, Liu Qiyue angrily said, “The demons are really sinister. They put it nicely, calling it a backup plan for the individual and their clansmen. If one really colluded with the demons, why would they risk their lives to kill demon monarchs? Aren’t they afraid that the demons will settle the score after killing so many of them?”

“This is a strategy to attack the hearts of humans,” said Meng Chuan coldly. “If some Godfiends lose their will to fight, the human race will lose a portion of their combat strength. Offering a pie in the sky… will make the war much easier. Isn’t that great?”

Liu Qiyue nodded and said, “That’s right. The demons do such things because attacking the human world head-on is very difficult for them.”

“Of course it’s difficult. The stronger demons can’t enter at all,” said Meng Chuan. “Qiyue, I’ll be heading to the chamber to cultivate.”

“Demon Slayer hasn’t finished devouring that Creation-realm alien corpse? It’s been more than a month,” Liu Qiyue whispered.

“It won’t take much longer. It should finish in one or two days,” said Meng Chuan.

In the chamber.

As usual, Meng Chuan took out the 30-foot-long Creation-realm alien corpse. The corpse had already withered quite a bit. However, its black scales and bones were still intact. Nearly half of its muscles and tendons remained.

Demon Slayer had only absorbed a third of it. However, Meng Chuan had said that Demon Slayer would finish absorbing the corpse within a day or two because Demon Slayer’s absorption speed increased over time.

Go. Meng Chuan unsheathed Demon Slayer and casually threw it. Demon Slayer stabbed into the alien corpse. Immediately, Demon Slayer absorbed the blood. The alien’s flesh and blood vanished slowly.

At the side, Meng Chuan practiced the Heart Intent Saber Art empty-handed as Demon Slayer absorbed the alien corpse.

Roughly two hours passed.

An unknown aura emanated. Meng Chuan turned his head in puzzlement. He saw Demon Slayer’s blade transforming as a strange power gathered over it. Gradually, complicated runes appeared on the blade.

Godfiend runes? Meng Chuan’s eyes lit up. The physical body cultivation system, demon monarch cultivation system, Godfiend cultivation system, etc. Runes would appear when one reached a certain level in any cultivation system. For example, Meng Chuan’s Indestructible Divine Armor manifested as runes. They represented a particular law and possessed a unique power.

The runes continued to spread along the blade, and in a few seconds, they were completed. Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Following that, Demon Slayer’s absorption speed of the alien corpse suddenly increased. Large amounts of flesh and bones began to break apart as the golden-red blood surged towards Demon Slayer. Demon Slayer’s absorption speed is so fast. Meng Chuan watched as Demon Slayer devoured the Creation-realm alien corpse at an astonishing speed. Even the black scales were pulverized, transforming into a black mist that fused with Demon Slayer.

In just a few seconds, the corpse was completely devoured, leaving only the right claw’s five razor-sharp hooks.

Only the right claw is left? Furthermore, Demon Slayer can’t absorb it at all. Meng Chuan waved his hand and Demon Slayer flew into his hand. The claw that resembled five knives flew in front of him. Every hook was like a blade, about seven or eight inches. They were long and extremely sharp. It was likely the Creation-realm alien’s sharpest body part. If the claw is reforged, it will be a divine armament. This corpse is extremely tough. Archean Mountain’s predecessors probably didn’t study this corpse carefully. As for the expert who killed this alien, he probably didn’t think much of the corpse.

At such a high physical body cultivation realm, it was probably not difficult for the alien to revive with a single drop of blood. So how did the Archean Mountain senior kill it? The corpse was left mostly intact. Was that Archean Mountain senior already an Imperial Lord?

Several Imperial Lords have existed in human history. Even an expert with an eighth-level Essence Soul has existed. I believe that someone in my generation can do it as well. Meng Chuan put away the claw, prepared to hand it to Archean Mountain for refinement. At the same time, he carefully looked at Demon Slayer.

Its body was dark-red, but the endless baneful aura within the saber was even more intense and shocking than before. The baneful aura began attacking Meng Chuan’s consciousness. However, Meng Chuan had a fourth-level Essence Soul. He could completely withstand the baneful aura.

“Slash!” Meng Chuan infused his Darkstar Quintessential Essence into Demon Slayer. He activated the runes on the saber and slashed downwards. With his Undying Body’s physical strength, the runic patterns on the dark-red saber’s blade became even more dazzling. With a very soft sound, the voice was sliced apart like paper. The rift was about a finger’s length.

Through the void rift, one could see darkness. A chaotic, distorted void energy gathered within the void rift.

I can actually tear open the void? Meng Chuan was alarmed. Although he could previously cause the void to collapse and distortwarping a 1,000-foot-distance to ten feethe was unable to tear open the void.

Among Regis Godfiends, only those with high technique realms could tear open the void. Only when the density of power in one’s attack exceeded the limits of the could they tear open the void. Meng Chuan’s previous strength and speed were insufficient to tear open the void. Now that he had greater strength, due to Demon Slayer transforming, he could split open the void.

I’m afraid it won’t be easy for Senior Brother Archean Mountain Lord to win if he were to spar with me now. Meng Chuan felt more confident about his role in the upcoming battle. Archean Mountain has invested so much into me. Master said that they have also invested a lot in the other Regis Godfiends. I believe all of our combat prowess has improved. We will definitely win this war. I wonder when the demons will start the war.

The demons held the initiative in this war.

The Demon Realm.

Thousands of demon monarchs gathered at the top of a mountain.

“We’ve been here for more than a month. When are we going to start fighting?” Along the mountainside, two demon monarchs were chatting while drinking and eating. They stared at the stable World Entrance just 1,000 feet away. It connected to the human world.

“These are all decisions made by the Imperial Lords. We just need to wait for orders.”

“I really hope that we can win this war the moment we enter the human world and completely destroy the human race. If this drags on, we will have to hide in the human world. I do not like living underground for long periods of time.”

“I was born to fly in the sky; I don’t like staying underground either.”

The two demon monarchs chatted while drinking.

Thousands of demon monarchs waited for the three Imperial Lords’ orders. Such scenes could be seen in nearly 200 different areas in the Demon Realm. Over a million demon monarchs were prepared to enter the human world at a moment’s notice.

19th May human world time, the Demon Realm.

A large ship flew through the clouds. A man and a woman stood on the deck of the ship.

The single-horned, black-haired man was Imperial Lord Starquix. The woman-with three white scales between her eyebrowswas Lady Blackmoon. She was also one of the three demon Imperial Lords.

“The fourth Firmament demon monarchs have long gathered. Two months ago, a million demon monarchs arrived at the various World Entrances,” said Lady Blackmoon softly. “Why did we delay until today?”

“Sister Blackmoon, you just woke up and are still unaware of the situation,” said Imperial Lord Starquix with a smile. “Originally, we planned to gather the fourth Firmament demon monarchs and spend several days making simple arrangements before launching a surprise attack on the human world. But who knew that news would leak out the moment they gathered…

In the human world, Archean Mountain and Black Sand Grotto-Heaven have abandoned all prefecture and county cities. They have built large cities. Since news of our surprise attack was leaked, we weren’t able to launch a surprise attack. Therefore, we decided that we might as well prepare fully before attacking.”
