Chapter 427: 427

Although he was puzzled, Meng Chuan quickly flew towards King True Martial .

Moments later .

Meng Chuan saw King True Martial standing alone on a hill . King True Martial sensed him and looked up .

“Junior Brother Meng,” said King True Martial with a smile .

“Senior Brother . ” Meng Chuan landed .

“Summon the Dao Protector out as well,” said King True Martial .

Meng Chuan was somewhat surprised . Few outsiders knew about the secret Dao Protectors . However, King True Martial had an extremely high status in Archean Mountain . His knowledge of secrets wasn’t far from that of a Sect Proprietor . Furthermore, he was designated to be the next Dao Protector . He naturally knew that Dao Protectors usually meditated if they wanted to stay lucid for the short period of time that they had . Each period of lucidity was very precious .

Whoosh .

Meng Chuan first awakened the Dao Protector before moving him out of the Grotto-Heaven Magic Bead .

“Dao Protector,” said King True Martial politely .

“King True Martial, why did you wake me up?” asked Wang Shan . “I’ll tell all of you when Senior Brother Peng and Senior Brother Yun arrive,” explained King True Martial . As they chatted, two figures flew over from afar . They were the fat elder—Peng Mu—and the goateed elder, Yun Jianhai . They landed on the hill .

“Everyone is here . ” King True Martial looked at everyone and said, “Everyone hasn’t encountered a demon monarch in the past two days, right?”

Meng Chuan, Dao Protector, Peng Mu, and Yun Jianhai shook their heads .

Nobody has encountered a single one? Meng Chuan immediately guessed . Are the demons frightened to the point that they fled? “Two days ago, the demon monarchs left the World Gap,” explained King True Martial .

Peng Mu nodded and said, “I sensed that many areas in the World Gap were destroyed repeatedly two days ago . Back then, I suspected that some demon monarchs had left the World Gap . I also wondered if a powerful demon monarch was sent in . ”

“I also sensed it . Furthermore, the areas that were destroyed were connected to the Demon Realm,” said King True Martial .

The Demon Realm and the human world were two separate locations . The World Gap was connected to the two, but the connection points for each world naturally differed . From the areas where the world membranes had been destroyed, one could determine if they were heading to the human world or the Demon Realm .

The world membrane was destroyed in several spots? Meng Chuan muttered to himself .

He hadn’t sensed it at all . Typically, one had to reach the Grotto-Heaven realm before they could pry into the River of Spacetime’s secrets and sense the distant world membrane that had been shattered .

“Most importantly, Archean Mountain sent a Godfiend in with a message,” said King True Martial . “It has been confirmed that all fifth Firmament demon monarchs in the Demon Realm were summoned by the Imperial Lords two days ago . This news was obtained from Black Sand Grotto-Heaven . They then informed Archean Mountain and Two World Island . ”

“All fifth Firmament demon monarchs in the Demon Realm were summoned?” Meng Chuan, Dao Protector, Peng Mu, and Yun Jianhai were enlightened .

“I’ve gathered Black Sand Grotto-Heaven and Two World Island . The three sects’ teams will gather and decide our next steps,” said King True Martial .

Another hour passed .

The three Godfiends from Black Sand Grotto-Heaven and two Godfiends from Two World Island came as well .

“All the Godfiends are here,” said King True Martial with a smile . There were a total of ten Godfiends present . They were the full force responsible for battling fifth Firmament demon monarchs in the World Gap . Each of them had received the greatest nurturing from their respective sects .

“Hahaha, this is the first time I’ve seen so many Godfiends here,” said a red-haired elder with a laugh . He was the leader of Black Sand Grotto-Heaven’s team, King Molten . Beside him was a black-robed, middle-aged man in silver armor, King Northcleanse .

King Molten smiled and said, “All fifth Firmament demon monarchs have been gathered . They are currently in Lady Blackmoon’s-one of the Demon Realm’s Imperial Lords-palace . This news was obtained by Black Sand Grotto-Heaven . Even if we search the entirety of the World Gap, it will be impossible to find a demon monarch . ”

Everyone present listened .

“That’s because we attacked the demon monarchs previously . The demon monarchs that survived also learned about us,” said King Molten . “The Demon Realm’s Imperial Lords made all the demon monarchs write down whatever they know about us . I’m afraid they know almost everything about us . ”

“That will be troublesome,” said King True Martial solemnly . “Only by knowing yourself and your enemy will our probability of victory be higher . Previously, our miraculous results, from the battles we initiated—was thanks to the demons’ lack of understanding of our strength . Now that they know our strength, they definitely won’t let us succeed easily . ”

“Yes . ” King Molten nodded . “Let me tell you first . From what we know from the Demon Realm, the demon monarchs have communicated and determined the three most threatening Godfiends . ”

“The first is naturally you, King True Martial . ” King Molten’s eyes lit up as he looked at King True Martial . “Your domain is extremely terrifying . As long as your domain envelops them, the demon monarchs will die without a doubt . As for close combat? Nobody can withstand a single strike from you . They are certain that your current strength is on par with Monarch Peacock . You are superior to all the other Regis Godfiends and fifth Firmament demon monarchs . Monarch Peacock and you are each side’s strongest entity in the World Gap . ”

“I failed to kill all of them in a one-against many fight . Some managed to slip through the cracks . ” King True Martial shook his head gently . If not for those who slipped through the cracks, the demons wouldn’t have new intelligence on him .

“The second is King Thousand Wood from Two World Island . ” King Molten looked at the tall, ancient-looking Godfiend . “With King Thousand Wood’s Essence Soul mystic technique, once his black awl connects, any demon monarch that gets hit will definitely die . They are certain that you have a sixth-level Essence Soul . ”

King Thousand Wood was an ancient Godfiend that had slept for centuries . Before he slumbered, he only had a fifth-level Essence Soul . After waking up, he was filled with grief and indignation when faced with the war . After that, he created his own moves . While doing so, he sought answers from his inner self and attained a sixth-level Essence Soul after breaking through .

There were dozens of Regis Godfiendsincluding the Dao Protectors and those still slumbering-in total . But even so, only two of them had sixth-level Essence Souls . Dao Protector Wang Shan had attained a sixth-level Essence Soul when he was 300 years old . King Thousand Wood attained a sixth-level Essence Soul when he was 450 years old .

After breaking through, Two World Island placed great importance on him, allowing King Thousand Wood to slumber once again . In order to complete the mission in the World Gap, they awakened him again .

After King Thousand Wood learned the Magic Awl Forbidden Spell, he didn’t hesitate to use 30% of his Essence Soul’s Origins to cultivate the Magic Awl because he only had a normal body and was close to the end of his lifespan . He used ordinary Essence Soul mystic techniques when dealing with ordinary demon monarchs . When dealing with powerful demon monarchs, he would wipe out their Essence Soul with the Magic Awl .

“The third is King Eastcalm . ” King Molten looked at Meng Chuan .

Meng Chuan was surprised .

He was ranked third among the most threatening Godfiends? None of the Godfiends present were easy to deal with .

“King Eastcalm’s speed is inconceivable . In a flash, he can traverse 250 kilometers . King Molten looked at Meng Chuan . “In a one-on-one battle, most demon monarchs will find it difficult to escape your pursuit . ”

When faced with other Godfiends, all the demon monarchs needed to do was widen the distance between them before fleeing underground .

However, when they faced against Meng Chuan? Apart from a few people, none could shake off Meng Chuan .

Back then, Demon Sage Nine Abyss was forced to flee to the outer realm because he couldn’t escape Meng Chuan . “He can travel 250 kilometers in a second?” Many Godfiends were astonished by King Molten’s words; they quickly glanced at Meng Chuan .

Meng Chuan’s speed was simply insane . Nobody could catch up to him if he wanted to flee! When he pursued enemies, 99% could not escape from him .

“The demons have also gathered information regarding other Godfiends to a certain extent . They are guessing that humanity has definitely used and given us many treasures,” said King Molten .
