Chapter 276 - Verification (1/2)
“As for the demons, they have several Imperial Lords every era. Their foundations are much weaker,” said Luo Tang. “Luckily, we have the geographical advantage. The top demon experts are unable to enter the human world at all. The demons’ powerful treasures… Without the Demon Realm’s powers to rely on, their effects are drastically reduced in the human world. They might even be useless. The protective stone talisman your master gave you can only be used in the human world,” said Luo Tang. “It’s useless once you leave the human world.”
Meng Chuan understood. These single-use treasures didn’t contain their own strength, so they naturally had to have a source of power. After leaving the original world, most of these treasures lost their power sources.
“There are many Imperial Lords in the demons’ history. For this war, they have probably bestowed quite the number of treasures to fourth Firmament demon monarchs.” Luo Tang shook her head gently. “I wonder when we will produce an Imperial Lord.”
Imperial Lord? Meng Chuan sighed inwardly.
The Heart Intent Saber Art—which he learned —came from Senior Guo Ke. Although he was a Regis G.o.dfiend, his strongest saber movewhich he had created when he was old-had also reached the Imperial Lord level. With his saber, he was invincible in his era. However, Guo Ke was much weaker than Grandsire Yin Yang. Guo Ke only had one saber move that had reached the Imperial Lord level! Grandsire Yin Yang had created a complete transcendent-grade G.o.dfiend body formula and several ultimate techniques that formed a whole system. In the past, Black Sand Grotto-Heaven suppressed Two World Island, but all thanks to Grandsire Yin Yang, it remained standing.
“The birth of an Imperial Lord, the appearance of an expert with an eighth-level Essence Soul, or something else…” said Qin Wu. “As long as one appears, we will win the war.”
“But each is very difficult to achieve,” said the illusory Luo Tang.
Qin Wu put away the bear demon statue and said, “Meng Chuan, the final battle will begin any moment now. Luo Tang and I are discussing how you will be deployed.”
Luo Tang explained, “Now, it’s estimated that 700 fourth Firmament demon monarchs will attack together. There are only so many large cities, so it’s impossible for them to act alone. The greatest possibility… is that they will work together in teams. Among the 700 fourth Firmament demon monarchs, there are many peak fourth Firmament demon monarchs. They will choose the most suitable partners to cooperate with them. Then, they will match the treasures that the demon Imperial Lords’ bestowed on them.
“Every fourth Firmament demon monarch team will probably have the strength of an ordinary fifth Firmament demon monarch,” said the illusory Luo Tang, “It’s even possible for a newly-advanced fifth Firmament demon monarch to be hidden amongst them.”
Qin Wu nodded. “If you aren’t strong enough, you will die by the hands of demons if we deploy you as a reinforcement… Thus, Luo Tang and I want to verify your strength before you can be deployed.”
“Alright.” Meng Chuan nodded. He also wanted to test his full strength. Only with a clear understanding of his strength could they decide on how they would deploy him.
“You can fight Archean Mountain Lord,” said Luo Tang
The white-haired Archean Mountain Lord smiled at Meng Chuan. “Junior Brother Meng, you have to be careful.”
“Fight Mountain Lord?” Meng Chuan’s eyes lit up. Archean Mountain Lord was the nominal leader of Archean Mountain. Furthermore, he was more than 400 years old. After living for so long, Archean Mountain Lord’s strength was definitely extraordinary among Regis G.o.dfiends.
“Both of you don’t need to think too much,” instructed Qin Wu. “Use all your strength. With me around, nothing will happen.”
“Yes.” Archean Mountain Lord was deep in thought. He had previously thought of holding back. After all, once a killer move was used, it could kill.
Within this grotto-heaven, Meng Chuan and Archean Mountain Lord looked at each other. Qin Wu and the illusory Luo Tang watched from afar.
“Mountain Lord, try this baneful aura of mine,” said Meng Chuan. A dark-cyan gas emanated from his body. After all, this was a test of strength, not a life-and-death battle. Meng Chuan first used his baneful aura, the ability he was most unsure of. He wanted to let his opponent feel the strength of his baneful aura fully.
Chi! Chi! Chi!
The dark-cyan gaseous baneful aura quickly spread out. The surrounding Heaven and Earth tried to suppress it, but it couldn’t be held back. Frost was left in its wake.
