Chapter 283 - Archean Mountain’s Strength (2/2)

“Don’t worry,” Bai Yaoyue said coldly.

“Then let’s act according to plan,” said Qin Wu. “We have to catch them off-guard and make them suffer heavy losses! If not, things will be much more troublesome in the future.”

Bai Yaoyue and Xu Yingwu nodded.

“Quickly make preparations. Fourth Firmament demon monarchs will be rushing to various cities from Wide Imperial Pass. They’ll take at least 12 hours to travel alone. We have to be as fast as possible,” said Qin Wu. “Everyone, the survival of humanity will depend on this final battle. If we lose, there will be no future for us.”

A cold light flashed in Xu Yingwu’s eyes. “We have to deal them a severe blow in this battle.”

“They only know how to hide underground.” Bai Yaoyue’s eyes were also filled with killing intent. Following that, she glanced at Qin Wu and Xu Yingwu, and said, “Summon me if you need anything.” Then, the illusory Bai Yaoyue disappeared.

The illusory Xu Yingwu also disappeared.

Inside an Archean Mountain grotto-heaven.

White fog drifted by an empty palace. Qin Wu and an illusory Luo Tang walked side-by-side.

In the enormous plaza in front of the palace, two figures were seated in the lotus position. One was a rather dispirited middle-aged man, while the other was a black-robed, red-haired woman. The two were like statues as they stayed seated in the lotus position, as though they had existed for thousands of years.

Huh? The two figures sitting cross-legged trembled slightly before opening their eyes. “Dao Protectors,” said Oin Wu. “‘The human race is now in a dire situation; the two of you will need to take action.”

“Ever since I possessed the body of a Dao Protector, I have been sitting here all this time.” The middle-aged man stood up and said, “My Essence Soul is at the sixth level. I can maintain this body for 120 years before my Essence Soul dissipates. Every second of lucidity is precious. It’s worth it to kill demon monarchs.”

“You can stay lucid for another 80 years. However, my Essence Soul is at the fifth level. I can only stay lucid for 30 more years,” said the black-robed woman coldly.

The middle-aged man immediately smiled obsequiously. “Junior Sister, as long as the two of us don’t fight, we can remain in a meditative state for more than 1,000 years. Furthermore, a Dao Protector’s body allows us to possess the strength of an ordinary Creation realm expert. Our luck is pretty good.”

“Come in with us.” Qin Wu and the illusory Luo Tang led the way.

“How bad is the situation outside?” asked the two Dao Protectors as they followed along.

“One demon sage and 700 fourth Firmament demon monarchs lurk in the shadows,” said Qin Wu coldly. “There’s also a million demon monarchs and countless demons ready to attack at a moment’s notice. Their goal is to destroy our large cities and slaughter mortals! They want to wipe humanity out. Without mortals, no new Godfiends will be born. It is the simplest solution to getting rid of us humans. In just a few centuries, other than a few Supremacies, all of humanity’s Regis Godfiends would’ve died of old age. In 1,000 years, even Supremacies will die of old age. Besides, without sufficient manpower to stop them, they can secretly expand the World Entrances in our human world.”

As Qin Wu spoke, he walked to the palace.

The towering entrance of the palace was tightly shut, but outside the entrance were nine divine beast sculptures.

“Guardian Divine Beasts, wake up,” said Qin Wu.

The nine Guardian Divine Beasts all opened their eyes.

“This time, all of you will also be participating in this battle,” said Qin Wu.

“As you command, Supremacy,” said the nine Guardian Divine Beasts respectfully. They were not normal life-forms, but puppets. As long as they were maintained well, they could exist forever.

Qin Wu and Luo Tang exchanged looks and pushed the palace entrance open together.

Rumble…

The entrance opened.

Figures laid inside the frost-filled palace hall. They were all humans; all were frozen in massive dark-blue ice blocks.

“Awaken, everyone!” Qin Wu said solemnly. All the dark-blue ice blocks in the hall began to melt. The eyelids of the figures inside the hall began to twitch.
