Chapter 243 - I Have a Life-Preserving Treasure? (1/2)

“Junior Brother Meng, why don’t you do the honors? You are faster,” said King Luyue with a smile.

Meng Chuan nodded. “Okay.”

Meng Chuan’s Darkstar domain enveloped the four of them, and with a whoosh, they transformed into a bolt of lightning and headed straight for Luo Tang Pa.s.s.

King Luyue and Blackrock were somewhat alarmed. To fly at such insane speeds while carrying the three of them was truly unbelievable.

“You are still much faster than me despite carrying the three of us,” said King Luyue wistfully. “It’s no wonder that Lightning Devastator Fiend Body Marquis G.o.dfiends are at the top of the world in regards to speed. In this day and age, only when one is fast can they protect a larger territory. It’d be good if we humans had more powerful G.o.dfiends that cultivate the Lightning Devastator Fiend Body. Unfortunately, it’s too difficult to cultivate.”

“It’s difficult.” Meng Chuan nodded.

The 12 transcendent-grade G.o.dfiend bodies could be separated into three different cultivation difficulty levels. The Phoenix Divine Body and the Dragon Divine Body were in a different category altogether because one required the prerequisite bloodline just to begin cultivating them.

Next, the five more difficult transcendent-grade G.o.dfiend bodies: Samsara Divine Body, Great Strength Fiend Body, Archean Divine Body, Lightning Devastator Fiend Body, and Thirteen Swordbane Fiend Body. Very few G.o.dfiends mastered these G.o.dfiend bodies. Among the Marquis G.o.dfiends and Regis G.o.dfiends in the world, there weren’t more than a handful of them. For example, Meng Chuan was currently the only Lightning Devastator Fiend Body Marquis G.o.dfiend in the world.

The last five transcendent-grade G.o.dfiend bodies are the easiest to cultivate out of the 12 transcendent-grade G.o.dfiend bodies. Xue Feng, Yan Jin, Xiao Yunyue, Yan Chitong, and others, cultivated one of these lower-difficulty transcendent-grade G.o.dfiend bodies.

“Luo Tang Pa.s.s.” Meng Chuan and company saw Luo Tang Pa.s.s from afar. It was an extremely bustling and beautiful city. In recent years, since the demons had invaded the human world en ma.s.se, many people had moved to Luo Tang Pa.s.s. Many towns had appeared around Luo Tang Pa.s.s.

“Luo Tang Pa.s.s’s population has exceeded 20 million.” King Luyue looked down and sighed. “Over the past few years, too many people have rushed here.”

“The population of Jiang State Capital, Wu State Capital, and many other state capitals have increased greatly over the past few years,” said Meng Chuan. “The populations of Jiang State Capital and Wu State Capital are now more than ten million. However, it isn’t easy to provide for ten million people daily. The most lacking resource is food! We need more people to produce food.”

“Yes, food.” King Luyue nodded. “I heard that several of our Archean Mountain’s grotto-heaven worlds are currently planting food. Unfortunately, the grotto-heaven worlds are rather small. The foundation of those worlds is limited. The amount of food that can be grown in our grotto-heaven worlds is far inferior to what the outside world can produce. There is plenty of land here, but with the demons wreaking havoc…”

Meng Chuan nodded. Luo Tang Pa.s.s, some state capitals, and prefectures had a large increase in population, causing them to become more and more prosperous. However, this prosperity came with ma.s.sive costs. The total human population was actually declining, and the living environment in other places was much worse.

“City Lord Manor.” King Luyue pointed at the most conspicuous building complex. “Supremacy Luo Tang is there. I’ll bring you there.”

Whoosh.

The group of four flew to City Lord Manor and landed in a pavilion.

“The demon monarch and I will stay here for now.” King Luyue smiled as he pointed at the limestone road ahead. “Follow this path and enter the garden in front. You will see the two Supremacies. The two Supremacies want to meet you first.”

“Senior Brother Gu, we will head over first.” Meng Chuan led his wife, Liu Qiyue, over to the garden. They walked across the limestone road and entered the garden.

In the garden, they could see an illusory Supremacy Qin Wu sitting opposite Supremacy Luo Tang as they played chess.

“Come, it’s your turn.” Supremacy Luo Tang became more confident after she made a move.

The illusory Qin Wu frowned as he pondered his next move. Every time he appeared, Luo Tang forced him to play chess. It always left him with a headache.

“Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue are here.” Qin Wu immediately put down his chess piece and smiled at the couple. “Luo Tang, let’s get down to business first.”

Luo Tang could only turn to look at Meng Chuan and his wife.

“Greetings, Master, Supremacy.” Meng Chuan bowed respectfully.

“Greetings, Master, Aunt-Master.” Liu Qiyue was equally respectful.

“Tell me what happened,” said Qin Wu with a smile. “From the looks of it, both of you have changed drastically.”

Meng Chuan and his wife exchanged looks before Meng Chuan took the initiative to say, “Qiyue and I received a request for help from Eastcalm Prefecture’s Zhenyou County. Therefore, we immediately rushed over. To our surprise, a fourth Firmament demon monarch as strong as a peak Marquis G.o.dfiend was hiding there. It used its domain to trap us. It wanted to kill us, so Qiyue was forced to cast Phoenix’s Nirvana…”

The entire ordeal was explained in detail.
