Chapter 534 Final Chapter of War (1)
“Everyone, leave Luo Tang Pa.s.s and stay outside the array formation.” Meng Chuan’s voice suddenly sounded in the ears of every Supremacy. “The demons are about to attack.”
Only Meng Chuan and the other Supremacies were present at Luo Tang Pa.s.s. The Supremacies either had their true bodies, Essence Soul avatars, or embodiments watching. They were all here to watch the most critical battle, which would decide the outcome of the war that had gone on for more than 900 years.
“It’s finally beginning?”
“They’re coming?”
Although the Supremacies lived at Luo Tang Pa.s.s, they were still at the array formation’s periphery. Since all of them now knew the situation’s severity, they quickly flew out of the array formation. The array formation was set up by Meng Chuan! It spanned 150 kilometers and completely enveloped the entire demon sage-level World Entrance. It was the battlefield Meng Chuan had set up.
“Are the demons coming?” Qin Wu, Xu Yingwu, Bai Yaoyue, Meng Tiange, Jing Fei, Meng An, and the other Supremacies were outside the array formation. They stood high in the sky and looked in the direction of the World Entrance.
Although Meng Chuan had set up the array formation, he didn’t prevent people in the outside world from spying into it. However, no mortal could be found within 250 kilometers of Luo Tang Pa.s.s. They had long sealed off this area.
“There’s no movement at the World Entrance,” said Bai Yaoyue nervously as she watched.
“Meng Chuan is calm. He remains sitting cross-legged, guarding the World Entrance alone,” said Xu Yingwu.
Meng An watched carefully.
Suddenly, he sensed something. His gaze pa.s.sed through the ma.s.sive World Entrancewhich spanned more than 50 kilometers-and looked at the Demon Realm on the other side. He immediately said, “There’s energy seeping in from the Demon Realm.”
“I see it.”
“What’s that?”
There were Supremacies here who were close to the end of their lifespans. Two Supremacies of the younger generation-Meng An and the Xiang Fu-watched nervously.
In the beginning, the energy was inconspicuous, but it gradually became more eye-catching. A ma.s.sive blood-colored wave surged from the other end of the World Entrance and headed towards Archean Eon Realm.
Meng Chuan, who was sitting cross-legged on the snow, was on the other side of the blood
wave.
Meng Chuan saw everything clearly.
When the blood wave appeared, he vaguely saw three figures within it. They were the three demon sages they knew about—Demon Sage Bai Fu, Demon Sage Si Feng, and Demon Sage Ying Feng.
At that moment, the three demon sages bowed respectfully in one direction. There were three faint figures standing in that direction. Roc, Starquix, and Blackmoon. Meng Chuan recognized them.
Following that, the three demon sages arrived.
In the surging blood waves, resplendent stars rose and fell, concealing the three demon sages.
This blood wave seems capable of injuring one’s Essence Soul? Meng Chuan felt his Power of Essence Soul instinctively abhor the blood wave. Ordinary Imperial Lords typically had seventh-level Essence Souls. There were all sorts of ways to restrain a seventh-level Essence Soul’s Power of Essence Soul. For example, some means could corrupt one’s Essence Soul. If his Magic Awl pierced the blood wave, it would become corrupt. Its might would be greatly reduced, and it could even collapse.
This is to restrain my Magic Awl? Meng Chuan didn’t take it to heart.
The other party was a Third Tribulation Eminence, and he could utilize a lot of the demon world’s heritage. Meng Chuan had never thought that he could easily deal with the enemy with his seventh-level Essence Soul’s Magic Awl.
Whoos.h.!.+
The blood wave traveled through the demon sage pa.s.sageway and entered the human world in the blink of an eye. It quickly spread out, and bright stars appeared in the human world. Under the stars’ protection, three demon sages appeared. They had already arrived in the human world.
“They’re here.”
“The demon sages are here.”
“Demon Sage Bai Fu, Demon Sage Si Feng, and Demon Sage Ying Feng. Three Heaven Earth realm demon sages.” The human Supremacies watching from outside the array formation became nervous. They also felt the strength difference between both sides. The Demon Realm was much larger and had more lifeforms. Their cultivation system was also closer to perfection. The fifth Firmament demon monarchs, demon sages, and Imperial Lords surpa.s.sed the human equivalents in number.
With greater numbers, they could naturally select more elites. The Demon Realm had three Heaven Earth realm demon sages.
As for the humans, not a single Heaven Earth Supremacy had risen to prominence in the past 1,000 years before Meng Chuan appeared. Even Meng An didn’t have the confidence to deal with well-prepared demon sages at the Heaven Earth realm with his current strength.
Chi!
Demon Sage Ying Feng waved his hand and threw out a green seed.
The seed emitted a sparkling glow as it flew out and sprouted in midair. It rapidly grew. In a second or so, it had grown completely. There were three huge leaves on the main stem. A huge pale-pink flower grew on the top of the green stem.
“Quick.” Demon Sage Ying Feng, Demon Sage Si Feng, and Demon Sage Bai Fu flew into the flower simultaneously.
“Don’t worry. This array formation can withstand a late-stage Imperial Lord’s blows for a while. Furthermore, we have many defensive treasures. Even newly-advanced Tribulation Eminences won’t be able to threaten us for a short period of time,” said Demon Sage Bai Fu via voice transmission.
As he spoke, he activated the treasures.
Single-use talisman, ancient tokens…
They used them one by one! Layers of protections formed around the flower.
“His Majesty has said that,” said Demon Sage Si Feng, “inhabited worlds’ laws protect the weak. These laws suppress s.p.a.cetime very strongly. Many life-preservation items are greatly weakened. The treasures that are too heaven-defying can’t even be used.”
Demon Sage Bai Fu looked at Demon Sage Ying Feng. “Therefore, we just need to hold on until Brother Ying Feng becomes an Imperial Lord.”
Demon Sage Ying Feng had already transformed into a giant, white, red-eyed bird.
Roar!
The giant, white, red-eyed bird let out a deep roar.
The roar caused Demon Sage Bai Fu and Demon Sage Si Feng to reveal looks of pain. Following this roar, the white, red-eyed birdwhich was extremely close to adulthoodinstantly transformed! Its feathers began to turn long and sharp. Its skin became tougher as its eyes transformed… “I’ve acc.u.mulated enough insights and have enough Outer Realm Essence Crystals. I’ll be able to stabilize my Imperial Lord-level strength in ten minutes,” said Demon Sage Ying Feng via voice transmission to his two companions. “The two of you just need to hold on for ten minutes.”
“Leave it to us.”
“Don’t worry.”
Demon Sage Bai Fu and Demon Sage Si Feng were very confident.
Emperor Roc and the others had really spared no expense to give them a large number of protective treasures. This was because they wanted to ensure that Demon Sage Ying Feng could reach the adult stage. Once he reached the adult stage, even if he was at the Heaven Earth realm’s middle stage, he would be able to unleash extremely high combat strength with just his body alone.
“What flower is that?”
“The demons are hiding in the flower.”
“Demon Sage Ying Feng has broken through and become an Imperial Lord.” The human Supremacies watching from the outside reeled in panic and felt the pressure when they saw Demon Sage Ying Feng’s body mature. This pressure was a suppression caused by life’s natural order. It was because of this pressure that they knew that he had become an Imperial Lord.
A demon sage had broken through to the Imperial Lord realm upon entry? Then why didn’t Demon Sage Ying Feng not become an Imperial Lord after so many years?
Although the human Supremacies were puzzled, they knew that they could only rely on Meng Chuan.
Meng Chuan observed everything.
Life-preservation items? Meng Chuan looked at the life-preservation items that had been activated one by one. He wasn’t in a hurry to take action.
He knew very well that many life-preservation items were very magical when used in the outer realm—where there was no suppression. For example, a Life Subst.i.tute Talisman. However, in an inhabited world, the nomological suppression was even greater.
Once a Life Subst.i.tute Talisman was used, one could instantly recover to their previous state. Thus, even if they were killed instantly, a Life Subst.i.tute Talisman would be able to restore the user’s body to a past snapshot.
Therefore, once one had sufficiently high attainments in the time lineage, one would be able to recover instantly even if their opponent -only skilled in the void lineage-delivered lethal strikes.
But in an inhabited world, a Life Subst.i.tute Talisman’s powers were suppressed. The time laws were greatly suppressed. It was impossible to use the talisman with its limited energy reserves.
Many talismans were the same. Even if the Void Transference Talisman was a life-preservation treasure for Tribulation Eminences, they could only teleport within the confines of an inhabited world. They couldn’t enter the outer realm using it!
Many talismans couldn’t be used in an inhabited world! Some of them could be used, but their strength would be greatly reduced!
So many life-preservation items. Meng Chuan glanced at them. Even if their strength has been greatly reduced, I still need to spend some effort to break through them.
Rise. The surroundings instantly turned dark.
Strictly speaking, the 150-kilometer area enveloped by the array formation had turned to night. The array flags fluttered as countless runes were activated.
In regards to technique realm, Meng Chuan was comparable to a Fourth Tribulation Eminence. This set of array formations that Meng Chuan had selected from Ancestral Master Archean Eon’s treasure vault suited him best. Its brilliance brightened the area as wisps of light gradually condensed into a crescent in the middle of the array formation.
The crescent hung high in the night sky like a hook. However, the crescent constantly charged up its power. One’s heart would palpitate just by looking at it with their naked eye.
“The array formation that Meng Chuan is using…” Qin Wu and Luo Tang watched in shock. They knew that Meng Chuan’s strength was unfathomable, but they weren’t certain how strong he was.
“This array formation?” Demon Sage Bai Fu, Demon Sage Si Feng, and Imperial Lord Ying Feng, who were hiding in the Green Fire Lotus, were somewhat fl.u.s.tered.
Just seeing the crescent made them panic.
“We have many life-preservation items. All we need is ten minutes.”
“The Six Cycles Earth Talisman I used just now can only be cracked by a Fifth Tribulation Eminence in the outer realm. Although its strength is greatly weakened in an inhabited world, even a newly-advanced Tribulation Eminence will probably take ten minutes to crack it. Furthermore, we have used several other life-preservation items that aren’t inferior to the Six Cycles Earth Talisman.” Demon Sage Bai Fu and Demon Sage Si Feng were now on guard.
Meng Chuan watched as the demons formed an impregnable defense.
Moonfall Strike. Meng Chuan glanced at the crescent in the sky.
Boom
The crescent slashed down like a saber as it executed Meng Chuan’s strongest moveSaber of Nirvana.
Wherever the saber beam pa.s.sed, everything returned to darkness and stillness.
“It can be blocked.” Demon Sage Bai Fu, Demon Sage Si Feng, and Imperial Lord Ying Feng stared at the attack. Imperial Lord Ying Feng was still desperately absorbing the Outer Realm Essence Crystals’ energy so that his body could completely transform.
Boom!
The demons only felt darkness descend upon them.
Everything tore apart; nothing could put up a resistance against it. In an instant, a total of three layers of protection were destroyed. Even the Six Cycles Earth Talisman’s energy was instantly consumed.
I only destroyed three layers? Meng Chuan didn’t care about Demon Sage Bai Fu and company’s horror and disbelief. With a thought, another crescent condensed in the darkness.
Annihilate.
The second Moonfall Strike descended.
Moonfall Strike carried the Saber of Nirvana’s extremely terrifying destructive force as it struck the demons’ defenses. Another few layers of protection collapsed.
Third strike!
Fourth strike!
Every attack seemed to strike Demon Sage Bai Fu, Demon Sage Si Feng, and Imperial Lord Ying Feng’s hearts. They were completely dazed.
“How is this possible?” On the other side of the demon sage pa.s.sageway, Emperor Roc, Lady Blackmoon, and Imperial Lord Starquix clearly saw this scene through the ma.s.sive World Entrance.
They had been fully confident of their defensive means, which only ended up being destroyed by Meng Chuan. It had taken him just four strikes!
Apart from the Green Fire Lotus, all other defensive means had been destroyed. Even the array formation controlled by Demon Sage Bai Fu was instantly sent flying by the Thirteen Universe Beads.
Meng Chuan channeled his energy into the fifth strike from afar. A new crescent formed in the darkness.
What realm is he at? Emperor Roc could no longer maintain his calm. His face distorted as he stared at the scenery on the other end of the World Entrance. At that moment, he understood that his dreams had been shattered!
