Chapter 443 - Bottleneck (1/2)
“You will be split into two teams.” Imperial Lord Starquix sat high in the hall, his voice echoing. “Demon Monarch Peacock and the Eighteen Black River Guard will form one team. Demon Monarch Strings, Demon Monarch Coldmoon, and Demon Monarch Poison Dragon will form another team. This way, each person can cooperate with each other and increase the team’s overall strength. You will also have greater confidence in killing Godfiends.”
“Yes,” said Monarch Peacock and company respectfully.
Although they didn’t know their companions’ current strength, they trusted the Imperial Lords very much. The Imperial Lords had better judgment than them.
Moments later,
The three Imperial Lords led Monarch Peacock and the other demon monarchs to an area more than 500 kilometers away from Ice Palace.
Boom!
With a single punch, Emperor Roc tore through the Demon Realm and World Gap’s world membranes. He blasted open a thousand-foot-wide hole. Through the hole, one could see the vast World Gap.
“You should understand the importance of this mission,” said Emperor Roc coldly. “If you do well, we won’t be stingy with our rewards. Us three Imperial Lords will do what we promised you. However, if anyone deliberately doesn’t put in the effort… don’t blame us for being heartless.”
“Don’t worry, Imperial Lord.”
“We will do our best.”
Monarch Peacock and Patriarch Poison Dragon held their breaths as they immediately replied.
Although they were the strongest fifth Firmament demon monarchs and all of them had improved, the Imperial Lords could still kill them with just a thought.
Even Patriarch Poison Dragon-who was known for his Undying body-could easily be sealed in a void by the Imperial Lords. Once he was trapped in this void, they could completely shatter the void and all its contents. Patriarch Poison Dragon would also be destroyed. This would happen in the blink of an eye.
With the absolute difference in strength, even the arrogant Monarch Peacock had to obey their orders.
“GO,” instructed Lady Blackmoon.
After Monarch Peacock and the other demon monarchs bowed, they immediately entered the huge hole and flew into the World Gap.
In the World Gap.
Monarch Peacock and company landed on the ground and looked at each other.
“The Imperial Lords are willing to pay any price to conquer the human world,” said Holy Lady Strings. “Therefore, we can’t afford to be negligent. If we anger the Imperial Lords, the consequences would be disastrous.” “For the Imperial Lords’ rewards, we have to do our best,” said a demon monarch in the Eighteen Black River Guard with a smile.
“Split up,” said Monarch Peacock coldly before flying into the distance.
“Brother Peacock.” The Eighteen Black River Guard hurriedly followed. They were in the same team as Monarch Peacock.
“Let’s go as well.” Holy Lady Strings glanced at her two companions. “The two of you will have to brief me about your current strength in detail. Only then will we have better teamwork.”
“It’s only right.” “We need to understand each other if we want to work together.”
As they chatted, the team left quietly.
In the World Gap, at the fracture between the land and sky.
Meng Chuan, King True Martial, King Calm Sea, Peng Mu, and Yun Jianhai were cultivating. They didn’t disturb each other.
King Calm Sea, who now had a deep-cyan ice body, looked at the darkness beyond the fractured area. Every time, he would accumulate strength for a long time before slashing at the darkness. King Calm Sea—who had now been a modified lifeform for 11 years
-had improved after staying in the World Gap for so long. His sword techniques moved closer and closer to perfection.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Densely-packed figures disappeared one after another, leaving only Meng Chuan.
Meng Chuan sat cross-legged in confusion. He looked up at the purple lightning that illuminated the endless darkness. It’s been 15 years since I came to the World Gap. I believe that I have accumulated enough insights in the Cloud Dragon Snake Movement Technique. However, I’m still stuck at the final bottleneck.
Based on his understanding of lightning and the two Tribulation-level ultimate techniques
– Lightning Realm and Three World Saber… His cumulative insights in the Cloud Dragon Snake Movement Technique was enough for it to reach the Grotto-Heaven realm.
The Infinite Saber pursues extreme speed. It has to break free of the worldly laws’ suppression. I can understand why it is so difficult for me to make a breakthrough in it. However, the Cloud Dragon Snake Movement Technique doesn’t need to break free the worldly laws’ suppression. It shouldn’t be that difficult to break through.
It’s no wonder that so many Regis Godfiends are unable to reach the Grotto-Heaven realm. This step is indeed difficult to take. It’s already so difficult to make the breakthrough with the Cloud Dragon Snake Movement Technique. Making the breakthrough with Infinite Saber will be even harder than I imagined.
