Chapter 139 - Rain (1/2)
Above North River Pa.s.s’s inner-city wall.
Meng Chuan looked down. The city wall was 800 feet tall. Ordinary mortals would suffer from some level of acrophobia when looking down from such heights!
The World Entrance—about a kilometer long and a quarter-kilometer wide—caused killing intent to surge inside Meng Chuan. On the World Entrance’s other side was the source of all the pain humans had suffered for the past 800 years. Meng Chuan could smell the foul stench of blood. Many mortal soldiers and G.o.dfiends had perished here. However, even more demons died here!
“How is it?” Zhang Yunhu walked over and looked down. “How does it feel to look down for the first time?”
“It’s still alright.” Meng Chuan nodded slightly. “Can water be placed on the ground? Or things like chains?”
“What are you getting at?” Zhang Yunhu’s heart stirred.
“As you know, I can use lightning.” Meng Chuan looked down. “If I don’t have a conducting medium, the area my lightning can affect will be lesser. A lot of my lightning’s power will be consumed for dielectric breakdown to occur. If the ground is filled with chains or water, my lightning will cover the entire battlefield instantly.”
Zhang Yunhu’s eyes lit up as he solemnly asked, “How powerful will it be?”
“Everything below the demon monarch realm will die without question. Second Firmament demon monarchs will be severely injured, and third Firmament demon monarchs will be slightly affected,” said Meng Chuan. “However, this has the best results when employed for the first time. In the future, the enemy will be on guard against this.”
“North River Pa.s.s doesn’t have that many chains, but creating shallow puddles is very easy,” said Zhang Yunhu with a smile.
…
Night fell.
“I’ve already compacted the ground below. Junior Sister Yan, you can summon the rain now,” instructed Zhang Yunhu. There were 31 G.o.dfiends at North River Pa.s.s; each had different strengths. For example, some could summon wind and rain, and some could control fire and lightning.
“Yes, Senior Brother Zhang.” Yan Jun immediately controlled the surroundings with her Quintessential Essence. She could attack with her water domain! Thus, it was very easy for her to summon “rain.”
Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+
The rain grew heavier and heavier. Under the pouring rain, water gradually pooled on the ground.
“Stop when the water is three feet deep,” instructed Zhang Yunhu.
“Yes.” Yan Jun nodded solemnly. She continuously used her domain to summon rain and continue the downpour.
…
On the other side of the World Entrance.
In the Demon Realm, a demon troop was also permanently stationed there. The demons held the absolute advantage; thus, they were unafraid of humans charging in since it would be suicidal. The guards weren’t needed, but they still needed to be careful of humans setting traps in the Human Realm. Therefore, they would send lesser demons to keep an eye. In fact, all traps had limited effects against the combined forces of demon monarchs. It was not worth setting up traps.
“It’s raining in the human world.” A tiger demon’s ma.s.sive head pa.s.sed through the World Entrance and carefully looked to the other side. He could see the rain pouring heavily in the human world. “The rain is quite heavy.”
The demons thought nothing of it. Wasn’t it common for a storm to happen?
…
29th February, night. Three months after arriving at North River Pa.s.s.
In a quiet room in a manor.
Meng Chuan sat in the lotus position and consumed another Thousand Star Pill. This was the tenth Thousand Star Pills he had consumed tonight. Following that, he used the Power of the Essence Soul and carefully observed his body. It wasn’t to muster his strength! It was purely observation. He observed his body carefully using a mystic technique. He had cultivated the body cultivation system he had obtained from Archean Eon Grotto-Heaven. The subtle components of his body were magnified greatly with the mystic technique. He could see all kinds of large and small particles clearly.
