Chapter 443: 443

“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 .

Meng Chuan had been somewhat vexed recently .

When stuck at a bottleneck, one couldn’t advance any further . One didn’t even know how to improve themselves, so one would naturally be worried .

If he didn’t figure it out, he would be stuck at this step forever!

I’ve been stuck at the bottleneck for over a year . What do I lack? How can I make the Cloud Dragon Snake Movement Technique reach the Grotto-Heaven realm? Meng Chuan pondered for a long time but couldn’t come up with a solution .

Forget it . I’ll do the same old . Since the Cloud Dragon Snake Movement Technique is stuck at a bottleneck, I’ll cultivate Infinite Saber first . I might end up getting a streak of inspiration . After all, they are both from the lightning lineage .

Meng Chuan drew his Demon Slayer and attempted to cultivate the Infinite Saber . However, he suddenly sensed something stirring in the distant void . Although he had yet to reach the Grotto-Heaven realm, his perception of the void was indeed sharper than most .

That direction . King True Martial, King Calm Sea, Peng Mu, and Yun Jianhai turned their heads at the same time . They felt an even stronger sensation as they felt the world membrane crack .

Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!

The five immediately gathered .

King True Martial said solemnly, “The world membrane has been destroyed . Furthermore, it’s connected to the Demon Realm . The demons have likely sent demon monarchs in . ”

The demons are finally taking action? Peng Mu, Yun Jianhai, and King Calm Sea were filled with fighting spirit .

“Meng Chuan, bring us there at full speed,” said King True Martial .

“Alright . ” Meng Chuan nodded .

His Seamless domain enveloped everyone as they transformed into a bolt of lightning . They quickly rushed towards the source of the commotion .

“The demons have come to the World Gap . ”

“The battle is finally about to begin . ”

The five Regis Godfiends from Black Sand Grotto-Heaven and Two World Island also sensed the commotion .

“Let’s go . ” King Molten’s fighting spirit soared . “I’ll bring everyone there . ”

“Sorry for troubling you, King Molten,” said King Thousand Wood with a smile .

Invisible waves enveloped everyone present as they quickly rushed towards the rift in the world membrane .

Meng Chuan’s team was even faster, but the demons had already split into two teams and taken action . They arrived to see nothing .

On the contrary, King Molten’s slower team only flew for more than two hours before they encountered Holy Lady Strings’s team .

Huh?

The void rippled as a black-robed woman, a black-robed, dragon-headed elder, and a silver-robed woman appeared .

“Demons . ” King Molten, King Transcendence, King Northcleanse, King Gu Eyes, and King Thousand Wood also appeared . They probed each other with their domains and discovered one another .

“Human Godfiends? Don’t even think about escaping . ” Holy Lady Strings’s killing intent was biting cold . She had suffered at Meng Chuan’s hands previously . Void threads appeared within a 150-kilometer radius around her .

Previously, her domain only had a radius of 50 kilometers . Now she could expand to a 150-kilometer radius, allowing her to envelop the five Godfiends .

Patriarch Poison Dragon and Demon Monarch Coldmoon similarly had immense killing intent .

“Kill them . ” King Molten’s body was covered in a layer of armor . At the same time, golden flames erupted from his body and spread out . The power of the golden flames was terrifying, and it rapidly burned Holy Lady Strings’s void threads into nothingness . In an instant, a five-kilometer area around him turned into a sea of fire .

King Molten had refined a Tribulation treasure

—the Fire Refinement Star Cauldron—which was given to him by Black Sand Grotto-Heaven’s Halberd Hall . With his accomplishments in the fire lineage, the Fire Refinement Star Cauldron had terrifying might .

At that moment, the Fire Refinement Star Cauldron in his body constantly spewed out golden flames that burned in all directions .

His fire domain protected his companions as they charged towards Holy Lady Strings and company at high speeds . King Transcendence, King Northcleanse, King Thousand Wood, and King Gu Eyes were filled with killing intent .

“Good timing . ” Holy Lady Strings was very patient . The Nine Lives Cocoon in her body began to release threads . The Nine Lives Cocoon’s threads mixed with her void silk and spread out in all directions .
