Chapter 273 - Refining Baneful Aura (1/2)

“You built the city really fast,” praised Meng

Chuan.

Liu Qiyue smiled and said, “When combining the Darkstar domain with my Fire Dao, I only need to melt the soil and rocks and shape it into a wall. Any Regis G.o.dfiend can build a city faster than me with the Seamless domain.”

Meng Chuan nodded.

The Seamless domain was mysterious and strange. It had all kinds of unimaginable abilities. His body was powerful and could be said to be undying. He also had divine powers and unparalleled speed… Even so, he estimated that he was barely comparable to an ordinary Regis G.o.dfiend. The more he knew, the more he realized how terrifying a Regis G.o.dfiend was. Half of the strength of a Regis G.o.dfiend came from the Seamless domain.

Coldness, heat, wind, lightning… These were things that could be generated by the Seamless domain with a single thought. This was something that could be described as manifesting the laws of nature with a mere thought.

Sin, grievance, lifespan—the Seamless domain could detect them. Even one’s Essence Soul could not escape the detection of the Seamless domain. As for offensive, defensive, and suppressive abilities, the Seamless domain far exceeded the Darkstar domain.

“Our Great Zhou Dynasty only wants to build dozens of cities. Building a city isn’t difficult,” said Meng Chuan. “What’s difficult is how we’re going to resist the demon monarchs’ attacks.”

“One million demon monarchs.” Liu Qiyue’s brows were filled with worry. Who knew what kind of nightmare it would be when one million demon monarchs wreaked havoc in the human world?

“Archean Mountain and Black Sand Grotto-Heaven are still building cities in the face of such a situation and are trying their best to protect mortals,” said Meng Chuan. “They must have some confidence. We will know the full plan when the war begins.”

“It does need to be kept a secret.” Liu Qiyue said, “In the past, there have been cases of G.o.dfiends colluding with the Skydemon Sect. If news of one million demon monarchs storming their way into the human world spreads, more G.o.dfiends will likely pledge allegiance to the enemy.” Although most G.o.dfiends stood on the human side, there were all kinds of people. Likewise for G.o.dfiends! At such a juncture, it was entirely possible and expected for a small number of betrayals to occur. The full plan to deal with the demons had to be kept a secret. The fewer that knew about it, the lower the possibility of information being leaked.

Even Meng Chuan didn’t know about it… This showed how confidential the matter was.

Most people in the prefecture and county cities had migrated to the large city by the time the Spring Festival came, but there wasn’t a festive mood. This was because the news had spread throughout the human world. As time pa.s.sed, it became more and more widespread. Many mortals discussed it.

At night, in a residential area outside Jiang State Capital.

“All prefecture and county cities in the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Black Sand Dynasty have been abandoned because they know that they can’t defend them.” There were dozens of people gathered in the small yard.

A skinny youth whispered, “When one or two demon monarchs ma.s.sacre a county city, we mortals are killed tragically. This time, one million demon monarchs are coming. I heard that there are only more than 10,000 G.o.dfiends in the world. How are we to fend them off? One against a hundred?”

“Can we not fend them off?” “We are all in the state capital.”

The surrounding people whispered. It was a matter of life and death when demon monarchs were concerned.

“It will be difficult.” The skinny youth shook his head. “We have already shown our fear before the battle. The G.o.dfiends are afraid and have retreated to the big cities. If the fight really begins, we might very well lose. Once we lose, we mortals will be slaughtered like pigs and sheep.”

“We can hide in the tunnels.”

“The state capital has a huge population. If we hide in the tunnels, powerful G.o.dfiends will come.”

“Stupid.” The skinny youth scoffed. “In the past, we humans had powerful G.o.dfiends reinforcing us when danger came. This is the real final battle. If we are completely defeated, how could there be any reinforcements? Without G.o.dfiends, the demons will kill all of us.”

The people around him were fl.u.s.tered.

“I’ve heard of a solution. We have a chance of survival when the demons are ma.s.sacring the others,” said the thin youth in a low voice mysteriously.

“What solution?” Everyone looked at him.

“When facing a demon monarch, shout that you are a spy from the Skydemon Sect,” said the thin youth. “Perhaps you will survive. The Skydemon Sect and the demons are in cahoots. The demons do not kill people from the Skydemon Sect.”

“Will the demon monarchs believe our words?”

The skinny youth scoffed. “There are one million demon monarchs. How would they know of the details? Besides, I’m just suggesting a way to save your life.”

Bam!

The door was suddenly kicked open.

A young man rushed in with several soldiers, causing the people inside to panic. The skinny youth’s expression changed drastically as he angrily shouted, “Ergou, what are you doing!” The youth named Ergou immediately pointed and said, “It’s him. He’s been trying to trick people into joining the Skydemon Sect and has spread the news of a million demon monarchs storming their way into the human world.”
