Chapter 367 Fleeing to the Sea
Meng Chuan looked at the scabbard at his waist. With his Seamless domain, he could clearly see that Demon Slayer’s blade was constantly trembling after absorbing the baneful aura. Its interior was undergoing a drastic change. Demon Slayer is originally an evil saber. It’s easy to devour its owner. Ever since it absorbed the Creation realm alien corpse, Demon Slayer has improved to the level of a Creation divine armament. It didn’t have a tough time absorbing the baneful aura. Now, is it finally about to change?
The previous upgrade was due to the absorption of the alien’s flesh and blood. As the alien had died a long time ago, it didn’t have much resentment or sin left. In terms of the impact from the alien’s baneful aura, Demon Slayer had only returned to its historical peak.
Clang! Clang! With the final clang of the scabbard, Demon Slayer regained its calm. However, its dark-red body turned pitch-black as though it wanted to absorb all light and block all perception of it.
For some reason, Meng Chuan was drawn to it. He reached out to grab the hilt of his saber and drew it.
You actually tempted me? Meng Chuan wasn’t afraid. He reached out and grabbed the hilt of the saber. The moment the saber was unsheathed, Meng Chuan’s body froze.
An endless sea of blood enveloped Meng Chuan’s consciousness and dragged him in.
Kill! Kill! Kill!
His entire mind was filled with killing intent. He wanted to be immersed in this slaughter forever.
At that moment, the Bloodblade Disc beneath Meng Chuan’s feet emitted a faint glow. It weakened the mental impact, and Meng Chuan’s Essence Soul protected his consciousness. Although Meng Chuan could sense the impact, he remained conscious.
What a powerful mental attack. Meng Chuan thought to himself. The Bloodblade Disc greatly weakened the impact, but it’s still much stronger than Demon Slayer’s previous surge. If it weren’t for the Bloodblade Disc, I would probably have to use all the strength of my fourth-level Essence Soul.
Ever since North Sense’s illusions had attacked him, Meng Chuan had discovered that the Bloodblade Disc could greatly weaken attacks on his Essence Soul. Therefore, even though he knew that Demon Slayer had transformed, he still had the confidence to draw his saber! Of course, it was also because he had long attained a fourth-level Essence Soul. After all, he could withstand Demon Slayer’s mental attack with a third-level Essence Soul.
If it weren’t for the Bloodblade Disc, I would still need strong willpower to withstand it with a fourth-level Essence Soul. To me, the master, the instinctive backlash is so potent. If I were to take the initiative to use it against my enemy, the strength would be several times greater. It should have an impact on a fifth-level Essence Soul expert.
The current Demon Slayer seems to be even more bizarre? Meng Chuan looked at the pitch-black saber body. The saber body was filled with a strange charm. The actual location of the saber is completely different from the location it appears to be in. Even the Seamless domain can’t detect the saber’s true location. It’s as though this saber is a small illusory world?
He swung his saber.
The black saber beam was blurry.
It was very strange.
The saber was like an embodiment of sin. Meng Chuan, the owner of the saber, could sense its true location through his Quintessential Essence. He couldn’t detect it through any other means, including his Essence Soul domain, electromagnetic domain, and Seamless domain.
I’ll slowly study Demon Slayer after I return. Meng Chuan looked forward to it. If it continues to absorb sin and resentment and continues growing, it might become an extremely powerful weapon. Demon Slayer’s help became limited when he had the Tribulation treasure, the Bloodblade Disc. Now, it was used to absorb resentment and sins.
Meng Chuan looked forward to its future.
Demon Slayer had never slaughtered experts so freely.
A demon monarch was at the same level as a G.o.dfiend.
In the human world, how many G.o.dfiends were there in a single era? Meng Chuan had slaughtered hundreds of thousands of demon monarchs. Demon Slayer had devoured all his sins and grievances. Every demon monarch’s sins and grievances were tens of thousands of times greater than that of a mortal. This naturally pushed Demon Slayer to an unprecedented level. Furthermore, as the war continued, Meng Chuan continued to slaughter demon monarchs. Demon Slayer continued to increase in strength.
Back then, Meng Chuan had chosen Demon Slayer in Archean Mountain’s Divine Armament Cavern. He named it Demon Slayer because he wanted it to drink demon blood, eat demon meat, and devour the demons’ resentment and sins.
However, killing hundreds of thousands of demon monarchs was something Meng Chuan of the past didn’t dare imagine.
“Go! That G.o.dfiend is ma.s.sacring underground demon monarchs. Let’s quickly flee!”
“Sigh, I was forced to come to the human world. Now, all I can do is flee.”
Demon monarchs fled underground.
“The Imperial Lords and demon sages got us to flee to the ocean, but they forbid us from returning to the Demon Realm.”
“If we dare disobey orders and return to the Demon Realm, we will definitely die. It’s best we live well in this human world.”
“I wonder when I’ll be able to kill all humans and survive above land.”
The ordinary demon monarchs fled the Great Yue Dynasty and the Black Sand Dynasty.
Swoosh.
In the evening, Meng Chuan returned to Jiang State Capital
“Ah Chuan.” Liu Qiyue welcomed him with a smile. “Didn’t you say that the number of underground demon monarchs has decreased recently?”
“That’s right. I’ve only been underground for about three months in the Great Yue Dynasty and the Black Sand Dynasty. The number of demon monarchs I’m discovering every day is decreasing. I’ve only managed to find about 30 demon monarchs today. I was able to find over 1000 demon monarchs a day previously.” Meng Chuan shook his head. “Archean Mountain’s letter.” Liu Qiyue handed it to Meng Chuan and smiled. “You’ll understand after reading it.”
Meng Chuan took the letter and opened it. He nodded and said, “It’s about the same as I guessed. The demons can’t tolerate my unrestrained ma.s.sacre. They’ve finally allowed the demon monarchs to hide into the ocean. I’ve only been sweeping the Great Yue Dynasty and Black Sand Dynasty for three months. I haven’t even killed many demon monarchs. The demon monarchs don’t have much contact with each other. Even if they flee, it won’t result in most of them fleeing. Thus, it must be an order from the demons’ higher-ups.”
“It won’t be easy for them to send demon monarchs to attack cities after escaping into the ocean,” said Liu Qiyue with a smile. “The number of times they attack cities will probably decrease greatly.” “Yes.” Meng Chuan nodded. “The ocean is tens of thousands of kilometers away from some cities on land. If they were to travel on land, our patrolling G.o.dfiends and flying demon servants would quickly discover them. If they were to travel underground, traveling tens of thousands of kilometers underground would be like traveling hundreds of thousands of kilometers on land. It’s extremely difficult, even for demon monarchs. “The number of attacks and attack frequency will decrease, but it will still continue,” said Meng Chuan. “If they really cared about the lives of these demon monarchs, they should have ordered them to return to the Demon Realm. World Entrances are everywhere in the world. It’s not difficult for them to escape back to the Demon Realm. Why didn’t they flee? Why? They want to attack cities frequently and force the Regis G.o.dfiends to guard the cities.”
“Then what should we do?” asked Liu Qiyue.
“The ocean is several times larger than land.” Meng Chuan shook his head gently. “It will take me more than ten years to scan the depths of the ocean. However, the number of demon monarchs discovered on land will decrease. The threat to humans will be greatly reduced.”
Indeed.
A large number of demon monarchs had fled into the ocean. The number of demon monarchs hunting on the surface of the Great Yue Dynasty and the Black Sand Dynasty would naturally drop. This greatly reduced the pressure on the patrolling G.o.dfiends.
At that moment, the upper echelons of Two World Island and Black Sand Dynasty were already celebrating! They could clearly tell from various intelligence that the instances of mortals being hunted had become rare. The land gradually became ‘peaceful.’
This made them think highly of this mysterious G.o.dfiend because it only took him a few months to affect the war’s situation.
“For so many years, the demons haven’t pulled back a large number of demon monarchs to the ocean. Instead, they have been hiding underground and slaughtering humans everywhere,” said Liu Qiyue with a smile. “Now, they have all pulled back because of you, Ah Chuan.”
“It’s just a temporary relief. To remove the roots, I have to reach the Blood Droplet realm as soon as possible,” said Meng Chuan. “This way, my divine power’s strength will increase greatly. My reconnaissance speed will be faster. I can sweep them clean in the ocean in a short period of time. The demons don’t want a large number of demon monarchs to return to the Demon Realm? I’ll force them back. If they don’t return, I’ll kill them all.”
Demon Realm.
Suddenly, a powerful will descended in the dark cave abode of Demon Sage Thousand Cricket. An illusory figure appeared in the cave abode. It was Imperial Lord Starquix.
“Imperial Lord,” said Thousand Cricket respectfully.
“A year is almost up. Why haven’t you gone to the human world yet?” Imperial Lord Starquix looked coldly at Thousand Cricket. Thousand Cricket had already taken over a body and had become a third Firmament demon monarch with black scales and two red feelers on his head.
