Chapter 406: Hope

Chapter 406 Hope

Demon Realm .

Ice Palace floated high in the sky . Emperor Roc brought Demon Sage Nine Abyss here . Lady Blackmoon and Imperial Lord Starquix stood side by side as they coldly glared at Nine Abyss In particular, Starquix’s aura was weak; his unstable aura spread out in all directions, affecting Nine Abyss .

“I’m useless . I failed to kill Meng Chuan,” said Nine Abyss as he knelt in horror .

His rationality told him that the three Imperial Lords would not kill him to prevent so that the other demon sages wouldn’t be disheartened . However, he was afraid of what would happen when things didn’t go as expected! He knew how important this matter was to the Imperial Lords .

“You are a demon sage that has cultivated for many years . Furthermore, you have a Tribulation treasure . However, you couldn’t even kill a Regis Godfiend?” said Lady Blackmoon with a sneer . “His strength is not inferior to that of a Creation Supremacy . He also has a Tribulation treasure,” explained Nine Abyss immediately . “Furthermore, his Essence Soul mystic technique is extremely powerful . It can transform into a black awl that easily pierced my Essence Soul . I lost 10% of my Essence Soul Origins as a result . I’m afraid it will take me 100 years to recover completely . With my Essence Soul heavily injured, my strength suffered greatly . That’s why I couldn’t do anything to him . ”

It was very difficult to recover one’s Essence Soul Origins . For example, Meng Chuan had the Essence Soul Star legacy . It allowed the Essence Soul to self-cultivate; it also granted the Essence Soul an astonishing recovery speed . Meng Chuan only needed two years to recover from the Essence Soul damage that Nine Abyss had suffered .

In those two years, his strength would be in a “damaged” state . This was very dangerous .

For those that didn’t have the Essence Soul Star legacy, one would take decades to recover from the shattering of their Magic Awl . The Magic Awl deserved its name as a forbidden technique . If Meng Chuan had used 30% of his Essence Soul Origins to cultivate the Magic Awl, he would pay ten times the price for shattering it .

“Black awl?” Blackmoon, Starquix, and Roc exchanged looks .

“Magic Awl . ” Blackmoon said softly, “It’s been a long time since I’ve heard of the Magic Awl mystic technique . Another Godfiend from the Archean Eon Realm has mastered this mystic technique . ”

The Magic Awl mystic technique was once the most famous killer move of Archean Eon Realm’s Godfiends that traveled the River of Spacetime . Unlike the Essence Soul Star legacy —which suffered restrictions from the River of Spacetime’s laws-quite a few cultivators practised the Magic Awl Forbidden Spell . The Essence Soul Star legacy had an extremely high threshold . The Magic Awl Forbidden Spell didn’t suffer those restrictions . Most of the human world’s Godfiends-who traveled the River of Spacetime-cultivate this Essence Soul mystic technique .

Unfortunately, no one could cultivate it to perfection . Thus, nobody could make a copy of the technique manual . There was only one copy of the technique manual in the entire human world . The original copy was left in the Heart Sea Palace . It was something Ancestral Master Archean Eon had obtained by chance .

This terrifying forbidden technique was perfected by Essence Tribulation Eminences .

For juniors like Meng Chuan, although they knew how to use it, they didn’t understand the profundities behind it . They only knew how to construct the Essence Soul weapon and carve the runic patterns according to the manual’s description . As for why these runic patterns were constructed in such a manner? They didn’t know . Only when they truly comprehended it could their attainments in this mystic technique match that of the creator . Only then could they make a copy of the technique manual .

However, this forbidden spell had been obtained by Ancestral Master Eon Sea by chance . Excluding the Essence Soul Star legacy, it was the strongest mystic technique . It was suspected to be created by an Essence Soul Seventh Tribulation Eminence . At the very least, it was created by an Essence Soul Sixth Tribulation Eminence . Thus, it was very difficult for human descendants to cultivate it to perfection .

“Even without the Essence Soul mystic technique, his strength is comparable to a top Creation realm expert,” said Nine Abyss . “Furthermore, his body is extremely powerful . He received one direct attack from me, but his body managed to withstand it . Also, his wife, Liu Qiyue… Her arrows were extremely dangerous when she cast Phoenix’s Nirvana…” Emperor Roc waved his hand . “Alright, you may leave . ”

Nine Abyss was delighted .

“It will be as previously said,” said Lady Blackmoon . “The Eye of the Dark Realm will be yours to use until you reach the end of your lifespan . If you wish to leave the Demon Realm and enter the outer realm… you will have to return the Eye of the Dark Realm first . ”

“I understand,” said Nine Abyss excitedly .

“Take your leave,” said Blackmoon .

“I’ll take my leave . ” Nine Abyss immediately flew away . Although the Tribulation treasure was the least he could receive because he failed the assassination, Nine Abyss was rather satisfied with his gains .

“What a good-for-nothing . ” Imperial Lord Starquix watched Nine Abyss leave and couldn’t help but shake his head .

“In order to make the demon sages willing to work for us, we have to bear with it,” said Emperor Roc . “This Meng Chuan’s body and Essence Soul are extremely powerful . His strength is comparable to a top Creation realm expert . Apart from his crude techniques, he has no weaknesses . He even knows the Magic Awl mystic technique!”

“There’s nothing we can do to him across a world,” said Lady Blackmoon . “With him around, us demons won’t be able to use our numbers advantage . Now, we can only rely on the World Gap and the World Entrances . As long as we can send large groups of fifth Firmament demon monarchs into the human world through the World Gap, we will regain our advantage . We might even be able to force the humans to admit defeat . ”

“Yes, there are a total of nine Creation realm humans . Most of them are guarding super-large city passes and their sects . They won’t dare to move easily . Our fifth Firmament demon monarchs are enough to take down the cities and kill Regis Godfiends,” said Imperial Lord Starquix with a nod . Although the demon cultivation system was weaker than the Godfiend cultivation system, the demons were numerous . Therefore, the best among them were especially powerful . For example, some fifth Firmament demon monarchs couldn’t even do a thing to King True Martial . These fifth Firmament demon monarchs yearned to enter the human world so that they could obtain lots of credits and be bestowed treasures by the Imperial Lords .

“As long as we send them in, we will have the advantage,” said Emperor Roc . “However, it’s very difficult to send them in . First, we need to find a connection point with the human world . We need to find multiple connection points as backups . This requires one to have the ability to see the River of Spacetime . “Second, break through the human’s world membrane in a short period of time and quickly enter the World Gap . We must not be intercepted by human experts . After that, we’ll head to the World Gap and find the corresponding connection points . ” They needed to determine the connection points between the human world and the World Gap . Only then could the two places be connected .

Emperor Roc said, “We still have to be careful of the humans laying an ambush . If we aren’t careful, the fifth Firmament demon monarchs will be wiped out the moment they enter the human world . ”

If dozens of fifth Firmament demon monarchs were to enter the human world and ended up facing Supremacy Qin Wu, it would be a nightmare .

“It’s very difficult . Just a single mistake during the entire process will result in complete failure,” said Emperor Roc . “Once we reach the World Gap, we will have the advantage in strength,” said Lady Blackmoon . “I think there’s a 50% chance of this plan succeeding . If we fail again, we will have to place our bets on the World Entrances . ”

As time passed, more World Entrances would appear . Maybe a World Entrance that could accommodate demon sages would appear . “Perhaps a World Entrance that allows demon sages to enter will never appear,” said Emperor Roc . “We can’t place our hopes on luck . Our greatest hope is still the World Gap . ” “Prepare well,” said Imperial Lord Starquix . “If we fail again, we will probably have to wait centuries . We might never have a chance of succeeding ever again . ” Emperor Roc and Lady Blackmoon nodded .
