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 .
