Chapter 209 - A Trap (1/2)
On Archean Mountain.
Qin Wu flipped through the dossiers. He did this every night because he needed to know everything that was happening in the world. The demon invasion was an unprecedented catastrophe for the human world. Once they lost the war, the human race would collapse.
“Another fourth Firmament demon monarch has appeared?” Qin Wu looked at the dossier and frowned. “It’s even in our Great Zhou Dynasty’s territory?”
“Yes.” Archean Mountain Lord nodded and said, “A greater demon monarch appeared in Yuan State. Its name is Greater Demon Monarch Zhang You. It was originally a third Firmament demon monarch; it likely broke through recently.”
Qin Wu nodded slightly. “In the past three years, many third Firmament demon monarchs that entered the human world have already broken through. Now, there are nine such demon monarchs in our Great Zhou Dynasty’s territory. Five have broken through in the past two years. Furthermore, according to what I know, the demons plan on sending thirty percent of the third Firmament demon monarchs in the Demon Realm to our human world.”
“Thirty percent?” Archean Mountain Lord exclaimed. “Is the intelligence reliable?”
“The source of the news is reliable. Our human world is suitable for demon survival; thus, the demons desperately want to occupy it.”
“Then, what should we do?” Archean Mountain Lord was extremely worried.
“They all know that the human world is dangerous.” Qin Wu sneered. “Many demon monarchs are unwilling to come, so there must be internal strife among the demon monarchs if they want to send third Firmament demon monarchs into the human world en masse. However, how are those entering the human world decided? Why would they take such risks? Even the few demon Imperial Lords won’t be able to mobilize thirty percent of the Demon Realm’s third Firmament demon monarchs in a short period of time.”
Archean Mountain Lord nodded.
“We need to continue the pursuit. This will make the demons believe that their losses in the human world are extremely high,” continued Qin Wu. “The greater the casualties, the harder it is for the demons to mobilize thirty percent of their third Firmament demon monarchs.”
“I will draw up a plan and intensify the hunting,” said Archean Mountain Lord.
“Actually, the most important thing is that we humans have to become stronger,” said Qin Wu. “For the past three years, the war has been so intense, but our Archean Mountain has only produced two Marquis Godfiends and not a single Regis Godfiend.”
Archean Mountain Lord fell silent.
Compared to the past, having two newly-advanced Marquis Godfiends in three years was considered a lot. However, everyone was still anxious. A Marquis Godfiend was more useful than 100 Great Solar Godfiends. The more powerhouses they had, the better.
For instance, a Regis Godfiend like King White Treasure—who was adept at underground reconnaissance—was responsible for half of Black Sand Grotto-Heaven’s accomplishments in killing demon monarchs. This was a testament to how useful a powerful Godfiend was.
“Two newly-advanced Marquis Godfiends—one broke through at 62 years old, while the other broke through at the age of 79.” Qin Wu shook his head. “There’s no chance of them becoming a Regis Godfiend.”
Regis Godfiends typically could become Marquis Godfiends in their thirties. The late-bloomers had to become Marquis Godfiends by their forties.
“Right now, among our Archean Mountain’s younger generation, there are also quite a few people with potential. For example, Xue Feng, Meng Chuan, and Yan Chitong. They have a chance of becoming a Regis Godfiend. I believe they can become Marquis Godfiends in their thirties or forties,” said Archean Mountain Lord.
“Xue Feng is already 41 years old, and he hasn’t condensed his Essence Soul yet,” said Qin Wu. “He’s still a little slow.”
These were the three most dazzling Archean Mountain disciples in the past twenty years.
…
Eastcalm Prefecture, Peace County City.
Beacon smoke billowed as many places in the county city were destroyed. Two demon monarchs wantonly caused destruction and slaughtered mortals.
Moments later, a bird—carrying four Godfiends on its back—arrived at Peace County.
“It’s the snow demon brothers.” The four Great Solar Godfiends immediately recognized the demon monarchs attacking Peace County City. They had obtained intelligence on many demon monarchs after three years.
“Attack.”
