Chapter 364 Actions From All Sides (Final Chapter of Volume)
In the Demon Realm, the three Imperial Lords were gathered in Ice Palace—which floated high in the sky.
“The ambush failed. Even the name of that mysterious G.o.dfiend remains unknown.” The black-haired, single-horned Imperial Lord Starquix laughed.
“We have detailed intelligence on every newly-advanced human G.o.dfiend. A dossier about them is kept the moment they enter the sect,” said Emperor Roc angrily. “As for the ancient G.o.dfiends that have awakened, they are all G.o.dfiends from the past 1,000 years. We have intelligence records for most of them. They actually failed to recognize who the G.o.dfiend is after engaging in a life-and-death battle? What a bunch of tras.h.!.+”
“We lost the Three Terminal Formation, and Yellow Oscillate is dead. They are indeed trash,” said Lady Blackmoon indifferently. Imperial Lord Starquix smiled and said, “Sister Blackmoon, Brother Roc, I previously promised the two of you that if we learned of the G.o.dfiend’s ident.i.ty, I would be willing to carry out a curse. Now that we haven’t even figured out the G.o.dfiend’s ident.i.ty, there’s nothing I can do.”
A curse needed a medium. Blood and hair were naturally the best. It was the easiest to curse somebody with these two things. Even if he killed a Regis G.o.dfiend across worlds, only one year of Imperial Lord Starquix’s lifespan would be consumed.
The subsequent choice was to know the target’s exact ident.i.ty. After confirming the target, without flesh and blood as a guide, one would probably need to expend a few decades of lifespan to curse the target. The stronger the target was, the more one consumed their lifespan. It was also possible for him to consume over 100 years of his lifespan. Even if an Imperial Lord had a 10,000-year lifespan, they would still be very unwilling to consume their lifespan to curse somebody.
Imperial Lord Starquix only agreed after Lady Blackmoon and Emperor Roc gave him a promise. It was also because Ancestral Master Archean Eon’s treasures were too attractive.
“We have to finish off that G.o.dfiend,” said Emperor Roc solemnly. “Otherwise, we demons won’t be able to use our number advantage since our top forces are at a disadvantage in the human world. Without killing him, there’s nothing we can do about the situation. Many Regis G.o.dfiends can fake their deaths and hold on for a long time. We can only hope that more World Entrances appear. It’s possible that we’ll foolishly wait for centuries for such an occurrence to happen. If this drags on for 1,000 years, it’s possible that the human world and the Demon Realm will separate.”
Lady Blackmoon nodded as well. “The human world has an extremely rich heritage. It’s easy for accidents to happen if we delay for too long. Ancestral Master Archean Eon was a Seventh Tribulation Eminence. He didn’t die in the outer realm. Instead, he died of old age in the human world. His entire life’s acc.u.mulations remain in the human world. Obtaining his treasures will be the greatest opportunity of our lifetimes.”
“Furthermore, he’s a Physical Body Seventh Tribulation Eminence.” Imperial Lord Starquix’s eyes were filled with desire.
Tribulation Eminences were also divided into two categories: an Essence Soul Tribulation Eminence, and a Physical Body Tribulation Eminence. One could also become both.
The demons’ cultivation system was better at cultivating the physical body. The three Imperial Lords were no different. The entire treasure h.o.a.rd of a Physical Body Seventh Tribulation Eminence drove the three Imperial Lords crazy.
“Carry out the plans from every front. Do not give the humans any chance,” said Lady Blackmoon coldly. “Demon Sage Deep Profundity and Demon Sage Fire Dragon have also arrived in the human world. When they return to the fifth Firmament realm, we will have them enter the World Gap and bring in more fifth Firmament demon monarchs through the World Gap. We will have a group of peak fifth Firmament demon monarchs enter the human world and kill all the Regis G.o.dfiends guarding the cities. There are only nine Creation Supremacies in total. Most of them have to guard super-large city pa.s.ses and their sects. There’s no way for them to rescue the Regis G.o.dfiends in time.
“On the other hand, kill that mysterious G.o.dfiend and have the one million demon monarchs hunt in the human world. Make it impossible for one to see mortals on the human world’s surface! Without enough mortals and a large number of G.o.dfiends dying, we will have free rein over the human world,” continued Lady Blackmoon. “In fact, we demons can gradually damage the world’s foundation, pus.h.i.+ng the human world towards World Degradation. Once it really degrades, the human world will shrink on a large scale. At that point, the world’s strongest existence can only be a Creation realm expert. The three human sects will definitely be afraid then. After all, it’s very difficult for the humans to produce another expert on par with Ancestral Master Archean Eon to elevate the world’s level.”
A low-level world made it very difficult for one to reach the Creation realm. It was more than ten times harder than the difficulty it was now. If they wanted to become an Imperial Lord, they would have to enter the River of s.p.a.cetime and risk their lives. It would be very difficult for the human world to get back on its feet again if it did undergo World Degradation. A World Upgrade was the good fortune of an entire world. A World Degradation was a calamity for the world.
“Without a large number of G.o.dfiends obstructing us, we have plenty of ways to force the humans to bow their heads,” said Emperor Roc.
Attacking? Forcefully seizing the legacy left behind by Ancestral Master Archean Eon? The likelihood of successfully taking a Seventh Tribulation Eminence’s inheritance by force was very low.
It was more effective to use other methods to threaten humans. They wanted the human Creation Supremacies to hand Ancestral Master Archean Eon’s inheritance over voluntarily!
In terms of heritage, the demons had also produced a group of Tribulation Eminences. The three Imperial Lords were confident in forcing the humans to submit.
“Imperial Lord.” A handsome demon sage, Thousand Cricket, bowed respectfully.
Imperial Lord Starquix looked at Demon Sage Thousand Cricket. “Possess someone and enter the human world. Do it within a year.”
Thousand Cricket looked at the Imperial Lord. Previously, he had politely rejected the request. After all, his strength could no longer increase beyond the demon sage realm after he possessed another person’s body.
No…
In the legends of the Demon Realm, there was a possibility of a breakthrough after possession. However, the difficulty was in no way inferior to becoming a Tribulation Eminence. In the history of the Demon Realm, only a handful of people had achieved such a feat. They were much rarer than those that reached the Tribulation realm.
“Go. I’ll impart you with the best Demon Star Scroll of the karma lineage if you do.” Imperial Lord Starquix coldly glared at Thousand Cricket. “If you don’t go, you’ll die.”
“I shall go, my lord.” Thousand Cricket knelt respectfully.
The human world.
Archean Mountain didn’t announce Yellow Oscillate’s death, but they wrote letters to Yan Jin and King Calm Sea.
Patriarch Yellow Oscillate is dead?
King Calm Sea sat cross-legged in a chamber as he carefully read every word on the letter. The description was very simple. Supremacy Qin Wu had personally killed Patriarch Yellow Oscillate.
I wanted to kill you personally, but I never expected you to die so quickly. King Calm Sea’s eyes were cold. Suddenly, he sensed something. He looked up as the letter in his hand turned to dust.
Whoosh.
An illusory figure entered the chamber. It was a black-robed illusory figure.
“King Calm Sea.” The illusory black-robed figure smiled and bowed. “I believe you know that Yellow Oscillate is already dead. I hope that can relieve some of your anger.”“You want me to join the demon side and help you demons,” said King Calm Sea coldly “But you ended up killing my child?”
“Your ident.i.ty is top secret. We were also afraid of letting Archean Mountain know about it,” said the illusory black-robed figure apologetically. “Only Demon Sage Nine Abyss and I know about your situation in the human world. Yellow Oscillate wasn’t aware, so he killed your child. This is all a misunderstanding.”
King Calm Sea snorted coldly.
“I’ll tell you a piece of good news as well,” said the illusory black-robed figure with a smile. “The demons have approved of giving you the Imperial Lord-level ultimate technique you’ve always wanted—the Time lineage.” “It’s been approved?” King Calm Sea’s pupils constricted.
“Yes.” The black-robed illusory figure smiled and said, “There are very few human Imperial Lord-level techniques. There isn’t even one for the Time lineage. This time, we demons agree to give you three of the Time lineage’s Imperial Lord-level techniques. Of course, you have to pay an equivalent price as per the old rules.”
“You were unwilling to give me the Time lineage’s Imperial Lord-level techniques the entire time. Now, you are giving me three?” King Calm Sea said, “Speak. What’s the matter?”
“Patriarch Yellow Oscillate and the others failed to kill an Archean Mountain G.o.dfiend and ended up being killed by an Archean Mountain Creation Supremacy,” said the illusory black-robed figure with a smile. “What you need to do is figure out the ident.i.ty of this Archean Mountain G.o.dfiend, who was the target of the attempted a.s.sa.s.sination. It’s very simple. As long as you get a name, and there’s no mistake about his ident.i.ty. We will hand over the three Imperial Lord-level ultimate techniques of the Time lineage.”
“I said I don’t know,” said King Calm Sea thoughtfully. “As long as you wish to figure it out, I believe you will be able to find out.” The illusory black-robed figure continued, “Just one name for three Imperial Lord-level techniques of the Time lineage.” With that said, the illusory black-robed figure dissipated.
