Chapter 400 - Arrival (1/2)
Night.
Demon Sage Nine Abyss silently stood in the clouds above Jiang State Capital. He was, currently, the only true demon sage in the human world! He was the only one with extraordinary combat strength!
If he were to die, it would probably take the demons nearly 100 years before a second true demon sage appeared in the human world. The demon Imperial Lords never allowed him to take risks easily. Even if he was in charge of bringing in a portion of the demon monarchs into the human world, he did so in a way that ensured his safety. The demon Imperial Lords didn’t care about the casualties of other demon monarchs. They only needed to ensure that Demon Sage Nine Abyss remained safe.
However, Meng Chuan was too great a threat to the demons! Imperial Lord Starquix had failed to kill Meng Chuan despite consuming 100 years of lifespan to curse him. They had no other choice. They only had one method left—let Demon Sage Nine Abyss take action.
From this, it could be seen that the three Imperial Lords valued Demon Sage Nine Abyss’s safety more compared to 100 years worth of Imperial Lord Starquix’s lifespan. This showed how important he was.
Nine Abyss’s attacks were extremely terrifying. A fifth Firmament demon monarch-activated demon treasure was much weaker than when they were activated by a demon sage. When a demon sage activated a demon treasure, it had incomparable might.
Oh? Nine Abyss sensed something. I ultimately have to take action?
He looked down; his eyes immediately locked onto an ordinary manor in Jiang State Capital. The demons had located Meng Chuan’s residence in advance. Furthermore, when Meng Chuan was. .h.i.t by the curse, Meng Chuan’s aura and the curse’s power had leaked out. Nine Abyss had sensed the fluctuations.
He’s right there.
This is the first time I’m using my full strength since I came to the human world. Furthermore, for this battle, the Imperial Lords have bestowed me the Tribulation treasure I wanted the most, allowing me to achieve unprecedented strength. A dark-red eye suddenly opened at Nine Abyss’s glabella. It seemed to contain a dark-red world. The moment it opened, the surrounding world began to distort and gradually turn dark-red. The dark-red color even spread in all directions.
You should be proud that I’m using my full strength on you.
Nine Abyss swooped down and struck the manor below.
The terrifying fluctuations alarmed Meng Chuan and his wife. It also alarmed their neighbors. Within the many houses around Meng Chuan and his wife, there was one family that created stone sculptures. At that moment, one of the ordinary-looking sculptures suddenly opened its eyes and looked at the dark-red sky.
“There really is someone who’s attempting to a.s.sa.s.sinate Meng Chuan.” The stone sculpture suddenly soared into the sky and transformed into an ox-like, stone beast. It stepped through the void and took the initiative to meet Nine Abyss’s terrifying palm strike.
Huh? Nine Abyss frowned slightly. He could tell at a glance that the stone ox beast wasn’t a living being, but a guardian puppet. Ignoring the strength of these guardian puppets, most of their bodies could be said to be indestructible.
Boom! The gigantic palm collided with the stone ox beast.
The stone ox beast had immense strength, but its moves were too crude. Even so, it had the combat strength of a top Creation realm expert. In terms of being a bodyguard, it was much better than a top Creation realm expert. Few Creation realm experts dared to risk their lives to hold back the enemy.
There was a loud bang.
The world ruptured!
There was indeed a rupture. The world membrane had shattered, and one could see the outer realm-a despair-filled, heart-shaking darkness.
“Humph.” Although the stone ox beast was extremely powerful, it was sent flying by Nine Abyss—who had stronger and more mysterious moves. After obtaining the Tribulation treasure that was most suitable for him, Nine Abyss had far exceeded his previous strength.
Archean Mountain actually has a Creation realm guardian beast. They even sent it to guard the manor secretly. They really do cherish Meng Chuan. Nine Abyss’s palm changed direction slightly before continuing to strike at the manor.
Meng Chuan and his wife had long flown out of the chamber.
They saw the dark-red world descend! They also saw the stone ox beast soar into the sky before being sent flying by the palm.
As a Sect Proprietor, Meng Chuan knew that Archean Mountain had nine Seamless-level guardian beasts and a Creation-level guardian beast. According to Archean Mountain’s rules, more than half of the Sect Proprietors were needed to open Archean Eon Grotto-Heaven. It was the same for the Creation-level guardian beast. More than half of the Sect Proprietors had to approve of the guardian beast’s mobilization before it could be used.
