Chapter 331 Marquis Yan Jin

9th January

A powerful aura erupted from the almost uninhabited Fluttering Snow Peak . In the cave abode’s chamber, Yan Jin opened his eyes . His eyes were filled with excitement . I’ve finally broken through! I have finally become a Marquis Godfiend! It’s all thanks to the ice lotus flower Meng Chuan gave me . Otherwise, I’ll be stuck at the bottleneck for countless years .

He had been cultivating arduously at Archean Mountain for many years . Previously, he had left the mountain to join a Godfiend team . He had experienced many life-and-death battles, and his insights were very deep . However, he had been stuck at the critical juncture . When he saw the ice lotus flower, he felt inspired . Following that, he broke through to the Realm of Dao in just three months . He finally saw hope that his cultivation would continue to rise .

After reaching the Realm of Dao, he had also cultivated a more profound sword art . Just a few days ago, he had also gained some insights into his sword art . As his emotions surged, he used his sword art to seek answers from his inner self . It allowed his soul to improve greatly and condense an Essence Soul .

In fact, he had been cultivating Archean Mountain’s Essence Soul mystic technique for many years . He used his body’s Quintessential Essence to nurture his soul . After all, he had a transcendent-grade Godfiend body . After many years of nurturing, his soul was only a little short of condensing the Essence Soul . Finally, he sought answers from his inner self with his sword art and formed an Essence Soul .

Yan Jin had finally become a Marquis Godfiend .

The situation off-mountain is dire . Archean Mountain has always been in desperate need of Marquis Godfiends . Yan Jin’s eyes were filled with anticipation . I just need to consolidate my strength, and I’ll be able to leave the mountain in a few months . I can also kill demon monarchs .

As he watched his elder brother, Xue Feng, and his good friend-Meng Chuan-fight the demons off-mountain, he also wanted to join them . However, he never received Archean Mountain’s permission .

13th April .

Liu Qiyue and Marchioness Plum Snow were stationed in Chu An City . As demons attacked cities almost every month, human Godfiends often swapped defense locations! This made the demons unable to figure out which Godfiends were guarding a city . Once the demons learned of the defense arrangements, they could deliver a targeted attack .

Swoosh .

One letter flew down from the sky towards Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue—who were both eating breakfast in the hall . Meng Chuan reached out and received the letter . He glanced at the avian demon monarch outside, which had quickly left .

“It’s You’er’s letter,” said Meng Chuan with a smile . When he opened the letter, his eyes lit

up .

“What does it say?” Liu Qiyue asked immediately .

“You’er attained Greater Mastery of the Azure Lotus Divine Body . She asked Yan Jin and read a lot of books . She felt that it would take at least five to six years to reach the perfected Azure Lotus Divine Body, and she doesn’t have certainty of success . ” Meng Chuan handed the letter to Liu Qiyue . “She doesn’t want to waste time as a mortal and asks if she should directly become a Godfiend . What’s your take?”

“Greater Mastery of the Azure Lotus Divine Body?” Liu Qiyue nodded slightly . “You’er spent two years on the mountain to reach Greater Mastery . To reach perfection, it will indeed take a lot of time . In fact, she might not even be able to attain perfection . Instead of spending a lot of time on the Azure Lotus Divine Body, it’s better for her to become a Godfiend as soon as possible . After becoming a Godfiend, her powerful body and Quintessential Essence will strengthen her soul . Her cultivation will also be faster . ”

“Yes . ” Meng Chuan nodded . When he was young, he had condensed an Essence Soul . Due to his weak mortal body and weak Essence Soul, he couldn’t withstand accepting a fragment of the Lightning Devastator Saber legacy .

“Since You’er doesn’t wish to waste time, let her make a breakthrough,” said Meng Chuan . “It’s not good to force her if it’s against her will . She needs to make decisions regarding her cultivation matters according to her preferences . ”

“Then, we’ll reply?” asked Liu Qiyue . “Are we in favor of her breaking through?”

“Yes . ” Meng Chuan nodded .

A few days later .

Liu Qiyue and Marchioness Plum Snow strolled in the garden .

“Junior Sister Liu, your children have all become Godfiends . They also cultivate transcendent-grade Godfiend bodies . How impressive,” said Marchioness Plum Snow wistfully . “The bloodline of experts is indeed powerful . For example, a Regis Godfiend family clan will produce a group of Godfiends . The number of Godfiends produced by a Creation Supremacy family clan is even greater . There might even be Regis Godfiends among their descendants . ”

The Wang family, the Xiao family, and the Yan family all had a bunch of Godfiends amongst their ranks . The imperial familythe Li family-weakened over the generations . Their weakening bloodline made it more difficult for them to produce Godfiends . However, they still had a Regis Godfiend, five Marquis Godfiends, and even more ordinary Godfiends . Two of Li Guan’s children had become Regis Godfiends back then . However, they had died long ago .

King Calm Sea’s newly risen Xue family also had outstanding children . King Calm Sea stood a chance of becoming a Creation Supremacy . Similarly, Xue Feng would soon become a Regis Godfiend .

One’s bloodline benefited their descendants . However, the juniors had to work hard . They even needed to surpass their predecessors .

The Meng family was an ordinary mortal family clan . The first Godfiend, Patriarch Yushan, appeared in the family 500 years ago from mortal roots . After a few hundred years, Fairy Meng appeared . She had also accumulated credits during many life-and-death battles on the battlefield before she became a Godfiend by chance . Meng Dajiang cultivated the Body Tempering Godfiend lineage . His cultivation path was extremely difficult .

At Meng Chuan’s generation, his father, Meng Dajiang, and his mother, Bai Nianyun, had high talent . However, under normal circumstances, it was already good enough for him to become a Marquis Godfiend . However, because he missed his mother, he cultivated crazily every day . Painting was his only form of enjoyment . He had been like this since he was young . In the end, he reached an unimaginable realm in painting . He sought answers from his inner self, and his Essence Soul improved rapidly . Due to his powerful Essence Soul, his cultivation speed was naturally much faster; thus, he easily became a Marquis Godfiend .

The risks he took and the credits he earned allowed him the rare chance to enter the World Gap . With his talent in painting, he managed to draw Fifteen Lightning Forms . He had a clear understanding of the essence of lightning . This metamorphosed his cultivation speed of the lightning lineage .

“Bloodline inheritance just gives an advantage at the starting point,” said Liu Qiyue with a smile . “What happens in the future will depend on the children themselves . ”

“Yes . There are many cases with powerful parents, but much weaker children,” said Marchioness Plum Snow . “There are even some hedonistic children . ”

Liu Qiyue was somewhat relieved . When the children were young, they had to protect their children due to Meng Chuan’s efficiency at demon-slaying . They disguised themselves as an ordinary family and raised their children with strict discipline . If they had known from a young age that they were children of Marquis Godfiends, Meng An and Meng You would probably have gone astray due to all sorts of flattery .

It’s said that King Calm Sea is very cold and heartless towards his children . They have suffered a lot . Could this have contributed to Xue Feng and Yan Jin’s rise as Marquis Godfiends? Liu Qiyue suddenly thought of this . The couple knew that Yan Jin and King Calm Sea were close to becoming enemies .

Huh? Liu Qiyue and Marchioness Plum Snow’s expressions suddenly changed . The two of them could sense demonic powers erupting in all directions .

1,200 demon monarchs? They are all at the third Firmament? Liu Qiyue and Marchioness Plum Snowfelt felt like something was amiss . After the demons’ first large-scale attack on the cities, they no longer sent second Firmament demon monarchs . Third Firmament demon monarchs were powerful and fast . They could only be killed by a Regis Godfiend’s Quintessential Essence threads . This forced humans to deploy those with the strength of a Regis Godfiend to defend the city .

“Meng Chuan isn’t here . What should we do?” asked Marchioness Plum Snow anxiously .

In the past half a year, the demons attacked almost once a month!

Liu Qiyue and Marchioness Plum Snow had encountered two demon attacks on the cities . They were all night attacks! This time, it was a day attack . Meng Chuan was busy hunting for underground demon monarchs .

“Meng Chuan is 1,500 kilometers away . It will take him nearly 120 seconds to arrive . There’s no time . ” Liu Qiyue flew up and swept her gaze across the city . A large group of third Firmament demon monarchs charged over from three kilometers away . As third Firmament demon monarchs, they could storm into the city in about 15 seconds .

“Our Quintessential Essence threads can’t kill these third Firmament demon monarchs from afar . ” Marchioness Plum Snow flew up and looked around anxiously . “I’ve already requested help . ”

“These demons are very shrewd and sly . They will flee after engaging in slaughter for 30 seconds . Requesting help is useless . ” Liu Qiyue looked at everything calmly .

If over 1,000 third Firmament demon monarchs were allowed to engage in a wanton slaughter in the city, just how many mortals would be killed?

Boom!

The flames around Liu Qiyue’s body soared into the sky . Flames churned in all directions as a huge, flaming phoenix spread its wings and let out a phoenix shriek .
