The Li Water Mountain Range was a mountain range that spanned hundreds of kilometers. Ever since village forts were abandoned, many people had fled to Li Water Mountain Range.
“Demon monarch.”
“There’s a demon monarch.”
An ugly green-skinned demon monarch charged into a valley. This valley was covered in fog perennially, making it a paradise for the people here. Thousands of people lived in this valley. More than 100,000 people were scattered across the entire Li Water Mountain Range.
“You humans really know how to hide.” The ugly, green-skinned demon monarch grinned. With a wave of his claw, sharp demonic powers sliced through the air. Instantly, a lot of blood from mortal humans splattered as they died.
With a furious shout, a youth ran over from a cliff. “Demon monarch!”
The Demon monarch looked up, and his eyes narrowed. He smiled. “Indestructible Godfiend?”
The youth attacked with his spear. His body emitted a blood-colored gas as he stared at the ugly demon monarch.
“Human Godfiend, you should be able to sense the strength difference between us. Not only did you not escape, you even delivered yourself to me?” The green-skinned demon monarch smiled. He was one of the numerous demon monarchs that had been sent into the human world. He was only an ordinary third Firmament demon monarch-average among demons. However, he was still very confident in dealing with an Indestructible Godfiend.
“Isn’t that Dean Wen?”
The mortals that were fleeing in the distance also noticed this scene. All of them were astonished. Dean Wen had built the Li Water Dao Academy in Li Water Mountain Range. Many people that lived in the mountain range had no ability to send their children to a large city, so many children were sent to Dean Wen’s Li Water Dao Academy. Everybody that lived on the mountain believed that Dean Wen was only a Impervious realm expert that had comprehended Force.
Who would have thought that he could display the terrifying strength of a Godfiend?
“Dean Wen is a Godfiend?”
“Dean, kill that demon monarch!” shouted a child excitedly.
“Leave quickly!” Dean Wen shouted angrily. He was somewhat anxious. He knew the strength difference between himself and the demon monarch, but if he didn’t step forward, how many people in the Li Water Mountain Range would die?
“Human Godfiend, I truly admire your courage. Therefore, I’ll eat you up piece by piece.” The green-skinned demon monarch let out a savage laugh before transforming into a green blur as he charged forward.
Dean Wen held his spear and took the initiative to clash with the demon monarch.
Underground
Swoosh.
A bolt of lightning flew rapidly underground; it was Meng Chuan, who was busy conducting underground reconnaissance. He kept his Divine Eye of Lightning-situated at his glabella-constantly open.
A large number of demon monarchs constantly sneak in from the various World Entrances. There are too many small and medium-sized World Entrances in the world. A little bit goes a long way. We can’t guard every single one of them. I am finding more and more demon monarchs underground.
A cold glint flashed in Meng Chuan’s eyes. It was like he didn’t know fatigue. During his 12-hour long underground reconnaissance, he wiped out every demon monarch lair he came across. However, he could no longer find any fourth Firmament demon monarchs. According to Archean Mountain’s intelligence, most fourth Firmament demon monarchs were in Demon Sage Nine Abyss’s pocket grotto-heaven. They seldom came out, but when they did… they would attack a large city.
Huh? Meng Chuan—who was flying underground-suddenly sensed a surge of demonic power coming from the surface. The demonic power erupted madly. Meng Chuan could sense it, even when he was dozens of kilometers away.
Demonic aura. Meng Chuan flew up.
Bang! Bang! Bang! After passing through 15 kilometers of soil and rock, he surfaced from the ground. With a glance, he saw a man-covered in blood-on a mountain not far away. The man held a spear in one hand as he fought an ugly demon monarch with green skin. The man had lost an arm, and there were many wounds on his body. There were two bloody holes on his chest. Ordinary Godfiends would have died long ago, but he was still holding on.
“Damn it. Damn it.” The man held a spear in one hand as he roared. His eyes were filled with indignation.
He couldn’t accept dying without killing the demon monarch. What would happen to the 100,000 mortals in Li Water Mountain Range if he died before he killed the demon monarch? What would happen to the youths he carefully taught at his Li Water Dao Academy?
“I’m willing to risk my life as I fight for the people behind me! I will risk my life so that the 100,000 mortals in Li Water Mountain range have a chance to survive! Heavens, show us mercy!” The man was willing to risk everything, but he had heavy injuries.
The green-skinned monarch was cunning; he wasn’t willing to exchange blows with the human Godfiend at the price of being injured. “Oh?” Just as the man stabbed out angrily, he suddenly saw the void collapse and distort. A saber beam flew out from the distorted void and pierced through the green-skinned demon monarch’s head.
The demon monarch’s head flew up, his eyes filled with disbelief.
“The heavens have shown mercy.” A smile appeared on the man’s face before he collapsed to the ground.
Whoosh.
Meng Chuan instantly appeared beside the man. He could tell that the Godfiend’s injuries were severe at a glance. Through the two holes on the man’s chest, Meng Chuan could see that the man’s lungs were in pieces. His heart had been reduced to dust! It was only because this man was Body Tempering Godfiend and had vigorous vitality that he was able to hold on for so long.
The youthful Godfiend looked at Meng Chuan and smiled. He said, “Thank you.”
“It’s me who needs to thank you.” Meng Chuan’s Quintessential Essence immediately seeped into the youth’s body and prevented his injuries from worsening. “If you hadn’t fought the demon monarch, forcing him to release enough of his demonic powers, I wouldn’t have sensed it.”
“There’s no need to save me. I’m a Body Tempering Godfiend. I know how severe my injuries are.” The youth shook his head gently. “My heart is shattered, and my organs are severely injured. There’s no hope left.” “There’s hope.” While he prevented the injuries from worsening, Meng Chuan took out a jade bottle from his Grotto-Heaven Magic Bead. He took a pill out of the jade bottle and said, “Eat this.”
Quintessential Essence wrapped around the pill and guided it down the young man’s gullet.
The young man healed at a visible speed the moment he swallowed the pill. Through the bloody holes on his chest, one could see a heart rapidly growing inside the man’s body. The man’s muscle, skin, and organs also rapidly healed. Even his severed arm was rapidly regrowing. The young man watched this happen in astonishment. “No matter how serious your injuries are, as long as you are still breathing, Archean Mountain can save you,” said Meng Chuan with a smile. “You wouldn’t have lasted if I didn’t carry some pills with me and had to bring you to Archean Mountain.”
He had contributed to the human race greatly, so he naturally prepared some treasures for himself with his accumulated credit. After all, in such a tumultuous time, he might have to rescue people and Godfiends.
In just a few seconds, most of the man’s wounds had healed completely. The young man immediately stood up and gratefully said, “Greetings Marquis Eastcalm, I’m Wen Fang.” Meng Chuan was now famous throughout the world. It wasn’t strange that he knew Meng Chuan.
“Wen Fang?” Meng Chuan smiled. “You aren’t an Archean Mountain disciple?”
“I’m from the Demon Annihilation Guild. I used the Demon Annihilation Guild’s resources to become a Body Tempering Godfiend,” said Wen Fang with a smile. “I was lucky enough to become a Godfiend. I only reached the Indestructible realm after cultivating to this day.”
Meng Chuan nodded slightly. His father, Meng Dajiang, had also become a Godfiend with the Demon Annihilation Guild’s resources.
The Demon Annihilation Guild was a very unique organization. It existed to deal with the Skydemon Sect and the demons. With Meng Chuan’s current status, he knew that there were nine human Creation realm experts. Eight were from the three major sects! Demon Annihilation Guild’s Master was the ninth Creation Supremacy. He was a wandering cultivator. In wartime, the three major sects were on good terms with the Demon Annihilation Guild.
“Since you knew that you couldn’t defeat that demon monarch, you should have fled. Keep your useful body alive,” said Meng Chuan. “If not, you would have died in vain. It’s not worth it.”
“I really don’t wish to see the 100,000 mortals in Li Water Mountain Range killed. Therefore, I could only go all-out and risk my life. I originally thought that with the uniqueness of a Body Tempering Godfiend, I might have a chance of killing this demon monarch. But clearly, I overestimated myself.” Wen Fang smiled at Meng Chuan. “Thankfully, you arrived and saved my life, Marquis Eastcalm.”
