Chapter 142: Meat Grinder

Meng Chuan’s performance on the battlefield was better than they had expected . The other five Godfiend knew that a powerful companion meant fewer casualties in the future .

“The demon army is here!” Meng Chuan saw it . After the third Firmament demon monarchs gathered, many ordinary demon monarchs and demons passed through the kilometer-long and quarter-kilometer-wide World Entrance and swarmed towards the human world madly .

The army was like a flood .

“Junior Brother Meng, prepare yourself . It’s time to use your killer move,” said Zhang Yunhu via voice transmission .

“Got it . ” Meng Chuan and the other Godfiends blocked the attacks as they waited .

Nearly 200 ordinary demon monarchs and countless demons entered the human world crazily . The demons were densely packed together as they charged forward . They stepped on the water that was only one and a half feet deep . Some even walked over the water and charged towards the city wall! Many flying demons flew up . These ordinary flying demons all flew up . They carried a few smaller demons on their backs .

All of them howled in madness .

The demons knew that charging out of North River Pass was a way of survival! Furthermore, they would earn credit . It was a rare opportunity for these ordinary demons to earn benefits .

The demons rapidly climbed up as they clung to each other . Countless demons climbed higher and higher . Three hundred feet, four hundred feet, five hundred feet… They used all their might to crawl upwards .

“Charge . ”

Nearly 200 second Firmament demon monarchs—that were mixed among the ordinary demons—led the charge .

They were transferred from all over the Demon Realm . As ordinary second Firmament demon monarchs, they could only obey the commands given by the Demon Realm’s leaders . Furthermore, in the past 800 years, there were countless second Firmament demon monarchs that had contributed greatly and managed to grow stronger . Plenty had become third and fourth Firmament demon monarchs, while some even became fifth Firmament greater demon monarchs .

Becoming famous greater demon monarchs was enough motivation to fill them with fervor .

“This is the moment!” Zhang Yunhu sent a voice transmission . “Do it now!”

Meng Chuan drew upon the lightning stored up in his body, and sent it surging towards his feet!

On the battlefield beneath the city wall, Meng Chuan instantly transformed into a dazzling manifestation of lightning . Countless bolts of lightning shot out from his body, spreading out in all directions beneath his feet!

Lightning surged through the water, affecting all the demons and demon monarchs that were in the water! Even the demons who were climbing up the wall were affected by the lightning!

Although it took a long time to describe it, it actually happened in an instant .

The blinding lightning covered the entire battlefield! Meng Chuan and the other Godfiends were suspended in midair . The Cyan Silk Domain completely isolated them from the lightning .

The entire battlefield fell silent!

Some of the demons closest to Meng Chuan were reduced to ashes . Further away, a large number of demons silently collapsed .

Whoosh . Whoosh . Whoosh . As though culling wheat, countless demons collapsed .

However, half a kilometer from Meng Chuan, many ordinary demons were trembling . Some of them vomited blood, but they didn’t die . Although countless demons that were clinging to the walls fell, only a small portion of them died . Most of them were only injured .

As for the second and third Firmament demon monarchs? The lightning tickled them .

The lightning scattered across the water . Due to the scattered nature, the lightning became weak . Meng Chuan understood what was happening . He knew that his own lightning was powerful, but it was the first time he had unleashed it against demons on such a large scale! He realized that with enough demons, even if he used all his lightning, he could only kill a third of them instantly .

“Beautiful . ” Zhang Yunhu revealed a look of joy .

“Well done!” Shi Xiu, Mu Qing, Yu Chiyan, and Yang Xingwu were equally excited .

The human Godfiends and the human soldiers were excited .

“This killer move killed over 30,000 ordinary demons . It also injured 20 to 30,000 demons . ” Zhang Yunhu was overjoyed . “Beautiful . It was better than I expected . ”

He had been on the battlefield for many years . The number of demons killed by Meng Chuan’s lightning was far greater than he had expected .

In fact, when Meng Chuan challenged the Life-and-Death juncture, he had required nine bolts of lightning to condense his Lightning Devastator Fiend Body . The lightning contained within his body was already extremely powerful . Furthermore, after cultivating his body, his body was even stronger . Whether it was in terms of quality or quantity, the lightning’s strength had increased . Therefore, he achieved such results after using all the stored lightning in his body .

“What?” Situated among the third Firmament demon monarch group, the black-robed demoness’s expression changed slightly .

“How is this lightning so powerful?” The other third Firmament demon monarchs were alarmed as well .

“He killed quite a number of ordinary demons . ” The black-robed demoness remained very calm . She didn’t care about the mortal demons at all . Every time they attacked, up to hundred of thousands of demons died . The black-robed demoness was of noble lineage and was the spawn of a demon sage . She knew that although the Demon Realm was vast, the number of demons that could be raised was limited . It didn’t matter if more died .

In the future, if they were to occupy the human world—although it wasn’t as vast as the Demon Realm—it could still feed more demons .

…

Although the attack exceeded the demon monarchs’ expectations, the demons continued to attack .

“Kill!”

The Godfiends, including Liu Qiyue, attacked with all their might .

Raging flames descended, burning a large number of demons to death . Corrosive rain caused large numbers of demons to die . Extremely sharp yellow wind left the demons’ bodies lacerated and bleeding…

Various large-scale attacks descended . The Godfiends were ruthless when slaughtering these mortal demons .

However, the demons continued charging at them . After burning a portion of the demons to death, the rain had eroded away hundreds of demons . The yellow wind had also weakened after facing the large horde of demons . The demons began climbing the inner city wall .

There were nearly 200 second Firmament demon monarchs among them . They also began climbing up the city walls .

“Block those demon monarchs . ”

Liu Qiyue and company diverted some attention to deal with the ordinary demons once in a while . Their primary goal was to stop the second Firmament demon monarchs!

Thankfully, it wasn’t easy for second Firmament demon monarchs to climb the city wall! From the moment they began climbing, they were targeted by Godfiends .

Swish! Swish! Swish! Liu Qiyue and the two other Godfiend sharpshooters frantically shot at the second Firmament demon monarchs .

It wasn’t easy for Liu Qiyue to kill a third Firmament demon monarch when over fifty of them were working together . However, she heavily injured second Firmament demon monarchs with every attack, even if they didn’t die . On average, she took two arrows to kill a second Firmament demon monarch! On the battlefield, this was a very high efficiency . In terms of lethality, Liu Qiyue was equivalent to 20 Godfiends combined . When the second Firmament demon monarchs climbed up the wall, she called 17 of them . The other Godfiends on the city walls had only killed 16 demon monarchs in total .

One could imagine how powerful a sharpshooter was .

“Block all the demon monarchs,” ordered Fan Cheng . The other Godfiends immediately joined forces to attack the second Firmament demon monarchs that had just climbed up .

As for the flying demon monarchs?

Although three flying demon monarchs flew into the sky in a bid to escape, they were killed by Liu Qiyue’s three consecutive arrows . One arrow killed an avian demon monarch while the other two arrows tore through two demon monarchs’ wings . With them unable to extinguish the flames, the two flying demon monarchs fell to the ground . Death ultimately awaited them .

Against a terrifying sharpshooter, it was very difficult to escape as long as the number of demon monarchs capable of flight was lacking .

“Kill that sharpshooter . ” The second Firmament demon monarchs rushed up the city tower one after another . All of them looked in Liu Qiyue’s direction . They knew that the biggest threat was the sharpshooter, Liu Qiyue . Additionally, killing a human with a Phoenix Divine Body was an incredible feat that gave astonishing amounts of credit .

…

As the Godfiends and the demon monarchs engaged in battle, large groups of demons were constantly slaughtered . However, there were still some who climbed up the city walls one after another . They didn’t dare approach the Godfiends because going against Indestructible Godfiends was meaningless . They would be sending themselves to their deaths!

The ordinary demons jumped down after crossing the inner city walls . They jumped into an empty area—half a kilometer wide—between the inner city walls and the outer city walls .

There was only a passageway half a kilometer long between the inner and outer city walls . Human soldiers guarded this passageway! Furthermore, the entrance was occupied by Godfiends! Mortal demons were unable to pass through this passageway .

Ordinary demons couldn’t leap half a kilometer . All they could do was jump down, cross half a kilometer, and climb the 300 feet tall city wall! This was known as the Road to Death!

“Kill!”

The weakest soldiers of the 20,000-strong human army were at the Marrow Cleansing realm . Many had achieved Force, and there were even experts at the Core Condensation realm .

Almost all mortal experts of the human race were on the battlefield! This was because they could earn credit on the battlefield . They could exchange their credit for a chance to enter the Godfiend Blood Pool . For example, Fairy Meng’s small team in her youth was the same . As for Yun Fucheng of the Yun family—one of the five large family clans of Eastcalm Prefecture—he only returned to his hometown after realizing there was no hope of becoming a Godfiend after an injury .

“Kill them!”

“Kill them now . Once these demons charge out of the city walls, you will have to use your lives to block them . The more you kill now, the better . ” The officers of the human army gave orders . Many soldiers that had just joined the military were extremely nervous when they faced the demons . However, their long-term training enabled them to attack in an orderly manner .

Arrows rained down!

Boiling oil poured down as flames burned .

The battlefield in front of the outer city wall was hell . However, the demons had tenacious vitality . Their bodies matched that of humans at the Mortal Shedding realm . Even with arrows in their bodies, they charged through the flames and continued climbing the city walls .

Some eventually fell, but there were still others who climbed up the outer city wall .

Thus, a more brutal melee battle began .

Of course, there were less than a thousand demons that climbed up the outer city walls . Those who survived were naturally mortal demon elites! Even though human soldiers had excellent teamwork, soldiers still died one after another .

…

These ordinary soldiers also understood that the battle at the inner city gate was even more intense .

“Don’t allow any demon monarch to cross the inner city gates!” Fan Cheng roared angrily . He suddenly slammed his gigantic shield into the ground with a loud boom . The shockwave killed seven second Firmament demon monarchs that had charged over . The other six landed on the battlefield below .

“Yes, Senior Brother Fan . ” The other Godfiends formed groups to prevent the demon monarchs from going up the city walls .

According to military protocol, even if they had to risk their lives, they had to block the demon monarchs .

The six Godfiends at the World Entrance suffered even more brutal attacks from the third Firmament demon monarchs . The demons’ strategy had always been like this . They sacrificed ten third Firmament demon monarchs to kill a human Great Solar Godfiend . This was an outcome the demons were very willing to exchange for .
