Chapter 425: 425

The Magic Awl pierced through the tiny stone golems one after another, causing them to dissipate into metal and rock fragments . However, the single Magic Awl managed to pierce through over 100 tiny stone golems, causing the other stone golems to flee frantically . Many of them had already burrowed underground .

Boom!

Meng Chuan’s gaze swept over, and his electromagnetic domain erupted!

Bolts of lightning appeared within the electromagnetic domain, wantonly attacking a large number of tiny stone golems . Nearly half of the tiny stone golems were struck! The stone golems’ outer layers shattered, revealing the tiny metal humanoids that were much smaller . The tiny metal humanoids were clearly much tougher; they didn’t suffer any damage from the electromagnetic domain’s bolts of lightning . They continued running away from the battlefield .

When a mountain demon is at the Great Solar realm, it can shatter its body and attack its enemies . This mountain demon-who has reached the Grotto-heaven realm-can actually flee by transforming into tens of thousands of avatars?

Mountain demons were very special among demons .

They weren’t living creatures that had gained sentience . For example, lion demons, ox demons, spider demons, flood dragons, and others could raise their cultivation realm through cultivation . However, they were originally living creatures .

A mountain demon was originally a mountain! They were dead objects .

Thanks to the good fortune of the heavens and earth, one would gain spirituality through a fortuitous encounter before embarking on the path of cultivation . They were very special . Just by relying on their special bodies, they stood at the peak amongst their peers at the same level .

How difficult was it for Meng Chuan to cultivate a Blood Droplet realm Body? Though he put in so much effort, it was only slightly stronger than a fifth Firmament demon monarch’s body . Although this mountain demon—who had reached the Grotto-Heaven realm—was still at the fifth Firmament, it had already undergone a transformation . Its life-preservation abilities had greatly strengthened .

“Why did the two of you stop?” A cold voice rang out . Standing in midair, Holy Lady Strings lowered her hands that had been clutching her head . Her robe’s collar still reached high up so that her head would be constantly protected .

She coldly glared at Meng Chuan and Wang Shan .

Meng Chuan stepped on the disc, and 12 Bloodblades surrounded his body . The six Bloodblades that had attacked Holy Lady Strings continued to fly around him .

“Where’s your Magic Awl? Why aren’t you continuing?” Holy Lady Strings looked at Dao Protector Wang Shan . “You stopped when a crack appeared?”

“Holy Lady Strings, you do have brilliant means,” said Meng Chuan with a smile . “I’m impressed!”

With that said, he flew away with Wang Shan .

As he flew away, he passed by Demon Monarch Quicksand’s corpse in a bid to store it . Chi! Chi! Chi!

However, the void spider silk had already wrapped around Demon Monarch Quicksand’s corpse and dragged it back rapidly .

The void spiderweb domain is indeed powerful . When Meng Chuan saw this, he thought to himself . After putting the Dao Protector into his Grotto-Heaven Magic Bead, he phased hundreds of kilometers away in a second and fled from the void spiderweb domain .

The void spiderweb domain barely had the might of a top Creation realm expert . What was important was its wide range . It could reach at least 150 kilometers .

If Holy Lady Strings used her real spider silk, her strength would further increase as long as it was within half a kilometer of her!

This strength was enough to defeat many ordinary demon sages . Of course, it was also because she had a breakthrough in the World Gap . Before coming to the World Gap, she was much weaker .

Whoosh! Whoosh!

The spider silk cocoon wrapped around Quicksand as the void threads dissipated, revealing the black-skinned youth’s corpse .

“Quicksand . ” Holy Lady Strings looked at the floating corpse with a hint of pain in her eyes . She reached out and caressed the black-skinned youth’s face as she whispered, “You have followed me for many years, but you have now died in the hands of the humans . I was too arrogant . I didn’t take human Regis Godfiends seriously after my breakthrough in the World Gap . Who would have thought that I would encounter King Eastcalm, Meng Chuan, and make you lose your life? I’ll avenge you . I’ll make sure more human Godfiends will join you in death,” said Holy Lady Strings gently .

…

When he was far away, Meng Chuan stopped flying . His Seamless domain naturally shielded him from detection .

I can’t fight for too long after casting Flowing Sand . Without this divine power, I probably wouldn’t have escaped the void spiderweb domain .

With this divine power, he could move hundreds of kilometers in a second . His flying speed was faster than the void spider silk . Furthermore, his thought processes were ten times faster; He was also much more agile while flying, allowing him to escape easily .

Without his divine powers, things would’ve been troublesome . Although he could rely on Heaven’s Wrath-allowing his body to transform into lightning-to escape, he couldn’t use many divine powers under those circumstances . His mind wasn’t ten times faster, but he could still travel hundreds of kilometers in a second . That reduced the variation in his flight path, so he didn’t have the confidence of dodging the void spiderweb domain’s interception in advance .

I can use Flowing Sand for a maximum of 15 seconds . In the future, I’ll try my best to maintain it for 9 seconds at maximum . I’ll leave 6 seconds for contingencies .

The earlier battle took a long time to describe; however, in reality, battles were as fast as lightning when experts fought .

Before killing Demon Monarch Mountain Splitter, Meng Chuan struck out with Heaven’s Wrath and killed Cave Lord White Azure . He then summoned Dao Protector Wang Shan to attack Holy Lady Strings . All of that took about nine seconds .

Therefore, Meng Chuan quickly fled without daring to stay any longer .

“Senior Brother Wang . ” Meng Chuan summoned Wang Shan and immediately asked, “Are you alright now?”

“The Magic Awl only has cracks; it didn’t shatter . It won’t be a problem,” said Wang Shan . “If it completely shatters, I’ll lose ten percent of my Essence Soul’s Origins . My lifespan and time of lucidity will be greatly reduced . ”

Meng Chuan heaved a sigh of relief .

Dao Protectors were different from ordinary Regis Godfiends . Regis Godfiends could nurture their Essence Souls with their bodies, improving their Essence Souls .

However, a Dao Protector’s body was very special . It could allow one to go past the lifespan restriction, but the pressure on one’s Essence Soul was extremely great . Senior Brother Wang Shan had a sixth-level Essence Soul, and he could only stay lucid for another 70-plus years . For over 1,000 years, he had meditated so that the pressure-exerted by the body he was currently possessing-on his Essence Soul lessened . Therefore, Dao Protector Wang Shan hadn’t formed an Essence Soul avatar over the years . He wanted to maintain his Essence Soul’s totality so that he could withstand the pressure exerted by the body .

If his Magic Awl shattered and he lost ten percent of his Essence Soul’s Origins, he would be unable to recover due to the pressure exerted by the body . It would be a permanent loss . His time of lucidity and lifespan would be greatly reduced .

He had only used ten percent of his Essence Soul’s Origins to cultivate the Magic Awl . It didn’t affect his Essence Soul much, so it was fine . If he were to use 20% or 30% of his Essence Soul’s Origins to cultivate the Magic Awl, it would have a huge impact on his Essence Soul . His time of lucidity and lifespan would be greatly reduced . Once it shattered, a huge gap in Wang Shan’s Essence Soul would appear after losing 20 to 30 percent of his Essence Soul Origins . In just a few days, his Essence Soul would completely dissipate due to the pressure exerted by his body, spelling his death .

“Senior Brother Wang, how long will it take for you to heal your Magic Awl?” asked Meng Chuan .

“There are just a small number of cracks,” said Wang Shan with a smile . “I believe it will recover in half a month . I can fight during that half-month as long as I don’t attack sixth-level Essence Souls . ”

Meng Chuan nodded . “Understood . ”

Elsewhere in the World Gap .

With the transmission token, Holy Lady Strings and the mountain demon gathered again .

“Holy Lady,” greeted the stocky mountain demon respectfully . “In that battle, only you and I survived,” said Holy Lady Strings .

The stocky mountain demon nodded silently .
