Chapter 318 - Keeping At Bay (1/2)
“What?” The fire pheasant trio felt their hearts ache and reeled in anxiety when they saw the three human G.o.dfiends obtain the Origins treasure.
That was an Origins treasure! They only appeared when a world was born. Imperial Lords yearned for such treasures. After obtaining one and giving it to an Imperial Lord, the three of them could elevate their strength. The Imperial Lord’s rewards would increase their chances of becoming a demon sage. Even if they couldn’t become a demon sage, their strength would increase by a large margin.
As the rulers of the Demon Realm, the Imperial Lords needed to maintain fairness so that their underlings would continue to risk their lives! When the demons under their command offered an Origins treasure, an Imperial Lord had to give them sufficient rewards. Otherwise, how could they convince the ma.s.ses?
“We were just a little short. Just a little.”
“How can a human G.o.dfiend be so fast?” The fire pheasant and ox demon monarch’s eyes turned red.
“Marquis Eastcalm, Meng Chuan, is said to be the fastest in the human world,” said the demon dragon via voice transmission. “He’s even faster than I expected.”
“He’s only a Marquis G.o.dfiend. I’m a fifth Firmament demon monarch. I cultivate the Phoenix Flight, but my speed is still inferior to his.” The fire pheasant demon monarch was indignant.
The trio was furious and indignant, but they didn’t rush forward to wrestle the treasure from the humans. This was because they had seen King True Martial’s strength when he attacked Patriarch Poison Dragon and Blood Shura.
As for Patriarch Poison Dragon, he burned with anxiety.
Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+
The black water that blotted out the surroundings surged and surrounded the G.o.dfiend trio. The water-closest to the G.o.dfiend trio-condensed into a black dragon, and it stared at them. “Hand over the Origins treasure, and I’ll let you pa.s.s. Otherwise, you can forget about escaping!”
Meng Chuan looked up and saw the black waves surging over. The black dragon led the charge as it lunged over. King True Martial could fight Patriarch Poison Dragon one-on-one, but Meng Chuan and King Calm Sea didn’t dare. Patriarch Poison Dragon’s poison was bizarre and unfathomable. Even demon sages might not be able to withstand it. King True Martial was one of the few exceptions.
“Let’s go.” King True Martial sent a voice transmission to Meng Chuan. “Leave Patriarch Poison Dragon to me.”
“Yes.” Meng Chuan didn’t hesitate to use his movement technique and flew into the distance with the two Regis G.o.dfiends. However, black water surrounded them everywhere, so they naturally had to plunge into the black water.
The black water they plunged into immediately splashed and condensed into a black dragon. The black dragon could appear anywhere in the black water.
“Don’t even think about escaping.” When the black dragon appeared, it swung its tail and lashed out at the G.o.dfiend trio.
“Scram!” King True Martial struck the black dragon’s body with a huge gray palm, causing the black dragon to stagger backward. The True Martial Seven Absolute’s Sky Capsizing Palm was the strongest non-forbidden move when it came to raw strength. It was especially useful for defense and repelling enemies. Patriarch Poison Dragon could be said to be extremely powerful, but a single palm strike still forced him back.
This caused Patriarch Poison Dragon to realize that something was amiss. King True Martial’s strength is too terrifying. I can’t hold them back alone. Patriarch Poison Dragon once again intercepted the G.o.dfiend trio. At the same time, he sent a voice transmission to the three demon monarchs. “Demon Monarch Phoenix Feather, your trio will keep them at bay together. Don’t let them escape.”
“Keep them at bay together?” The fire phoenix, demon dragon, and ox demon monarch exchanged looks.
“I may be unable to defeat King True Martial and company if I work together with your trio, but it’ll be very easy for me to protect myself. I’ve already sent word out. Other demon monarchs are also rus.h.i.+ng over. As long as we stall for time… King True Martial and company won’t be able to escape if all of us join forces,” said Poison Dragon anxiously via Essence Soul voice transmission. “If you watch from the sidelines and allow them to escape, the enraged Imperial Lords will definitely not let the three of you off if they learn of this matter.”
The trio was alarmed.
Origins treasure…
The Imperial Lords deemed such treasures the most important ever since the World Gap appeared. The Imperial Lords encouraged fifth Firmament demon monarchs to enter and adventure, mainly so that they could obtain Origins treasures.
“We will help stall for time, but we will definitely not fight them head-on,” said the demon dragon via voice transmission. Clearly, the three of them had made a unanimous decision.
