Chapter 376 I’ve Been Waiting for Too Long
Thousand Cricket returned the token to Nine Abyss.
With this token, he could sense the location of every demon monarch in the world. If it landed in the hands of humans, they could use this token to kill all the demon monarchs. It would be much faster than Meng Chuan’s large-scale blanket search. Therefore, Demon Sage Nine Abyss usually held it. This time, Thousand Cricket had used it for a day in order to cast the karmic blood curse on 3,000 demon monarchs.
“What if other Godfiends accidentally kill the bait?” asked Nine Abyss as he put away the token.
“These 3,000 demon monarchs are scattered across the world. Even if they are accidentally killed, one can kill ten of them at most. If one kills over 100 of them? It’s not likely that it’s accidental,” said Thousand Cricket confidently. “The one that slaughters most of the 3,000 demon monarchs must be that mysterious Godfiend. If he continues his killing spree, I suspect that more than 95% of the demon monarchs will die at his hands.”
“Let’s wait and see,” said Nine Abyss with a smile.
“As long as a few hundred demon monarchs die, we will be able to determine the target. There’s no need to wait for all the cursed demon monarchs to die,” said Thousand Cricket when a look of surprise appeared on his face. “One of the baits just died.”
“One died? Who killed it?” asked Nine Abyss immediately. “He might be the target.” Thousand Cricket could sense the deaths of the cursed demon monarchs from afar through the karmic blood curse’s connection.
In the darkness, he vaguely saw a figure-a very young man.
He saw him clearly.
When he saw the young man’s appearance, his disguised aura and appearance was useless under the karmic detection technique. The young man was a famous Marquis Godfiend in the human world.
“Marquis Eastcalm, Meng Chuan?” said Thousand Cricket softly in puzzlement.
“Meng Chuan cultivates the Lightning Devastator Fiend Body. His speed is unparalleled in the world. However, he’s relatively weak. He’s only a Marquis Godfiend. It’s impossible for him to withstand the Three Terminal Formation that Patriarch Yellow Oscillate and the others used,” said Nine Abyss. “North Sense is very certain that the target is a Regis Godfiend. Furthermore, he has the strength of a threshold Creation realm expert. His life-preservation means are especially powerful.”
Thousand Cricket nodded and said, “This Meng Chuan is extremely fast. He’s one of the Archean Mountain Godfiends in charge of reinforcing the Godfiends. He might have killed a demon monarch during a rescue. Let’s wait. The more cursed demon monarchs that die, the more certain we will be of the mysterious Godfiend’s identity.”
Chi! Chi! Chi!
More than 4.5 kilometers away, lightning was naturally produced amidst the electromagnetic domain.
The lightning struck the demon monarchs and over a hundred ordinary demons. All the demon monarchs died. Two of the weaker demon monarchs were charred black, leaving only remnants of their bodies behind. The remaining demon monarch corpses were intact. Ever since he reached the Blood Droplet realm, his divine power-Divine Eye of Lightning (electromagnetic domain) had increased in strength. Even the lightning produced by the domain could kill third Firmament demon monarchs. If he condensed many bolts of lightning together, he could even kill fourth Firmament demon monarchs with it.
Meng Chuan had no idea that one of the demon monarchs he had killed from afar was affected by Demon Sage Thousand Cricket’s karmic blood curse.
The invisible blood curse entangled with his karma.
There’s resentment and sin again? Meng Chuan’s Seamless domain allowed him to sense the resentment aura and sinful aura. Every time he slaughtered demon monarchs, he would be surrounded by resentment and sin. At his waist, Demon Slayer took the initiative to absorb them all.
However, Meng Chuan didn’t have any insights into karma. He couldn’t sense the karmic blood curse at all. The Bloodblade Disc was mainly used for protecting his body! The karmic blood curse had actually left a mark on his karma, allowing the enemy to use it to lock onto him and carry out a karmic attack. Living in this world resulted in all kinds of karma. New karma was formed every day… The Bloodblade Disc couldn’t negate karma completely.
The Three Terminal Formation only concealed karma; it didn’t completely remove karma. Therefore, the enemy could still attack via karma. In fact, the Three Terminal Formation couldn’t even conceal karma when facing a Tribulation Eminence.
The mysterious hall set up by Ancestral Master Archean Eon was much more powerful, but it could only weaken karmic attacks.
Meng Chuan put away the demon monarch corpses and items before continuing his reconnaissance.
Swoosh.
Meng Chuan was very cautious when conducting large-scale underground reconnaissance.
From the south to the north, from the east to the west, from the shallow depths to the deep, he frequently switched his route!
In his early days of reconnaissance, he didn’t move like this. Instead, he traveled along a fixed path. Due to these erratic movements, the demons couldn’t figure out Meng Chuan’s reconnaissance pattern.
So this is what the human world is like. Meng Chuan had traveled through the human world many times and knew what the world he lived in was like.
Land stretched from the north end of the sea to the south. The furthest distance was over 50,000 kilometers. From east to west, the furthest distance was over 45,000 kilometers.
It was almost spherical.
The sky was like a dome that covered the ground.
Land? It extended deep underground. Temporarily, Meng Chuan didn’t know what it looked like.
I heard that the human world was very small in the early days compared to the present day. Later, Ancestral Master Archean Eon upgraded the world’s level, causing it to expand greatly. This allowed people in the world to reach the Imperial Lord realm.
Swoosh.
Meng Chuan flew at high speeds in the sea. Although the sea was vast, the sea only occupied a small portion of the human world. This was because the sea, on average, was about five kilometers deep! Endless soil, rocks and even metals were below the seabed. As long as Meng Chuan flew close to the bottom of the sea, he could probe the soil and rocks below on a large-scale. However, he would usually take about 8 minutes to fly from the south to the north. He had to go back and forth many times before he could clear the sea.
Oh? There are demon monarchs! Meng Chuan discovered a demon monarch lair more than 10 kilometers away. The sea’s resistance against electromagnetic waves was much weaker than that of the ground. His electromagnetic domain’s range was much greater in the sea.
Currently, in a canyon at the bottom of the sea was a demon monarch lair with eight aquatic demon monarchs and a group of ordinary demons. They were very used to living underwater.
Boom! Boom! Within the electromagnetic domain, lightning appeared with a thought.
Lightning struck the demon monarchs. The ordinary demons were instantly reduced to dust. Seven aquatic demon monarchs died. Only one demon monarch survived the attack and fled in panic.
The other demon monarchs are dead. A human Godfiend is here? The flood dragon demon monarch fled in panic. Suddenly, he saw a white-haired man wearing a mask appear in front of him. His eyes were as deep as the night sky as he stared at him.
“Not bad. This body is nearly comparable to that of a fourth Firmament demon monarch,” muttered the white-haired man to himself.
Following that, the flood dragon demon monarch felt his consciousness sink into oblivion. It constantly sank… as though he had fallen into an endless abyss.
In just a few seconds, the flood dragon demon monarch bowed respectfully. “Master.”Meng Chuan nodded slightly. “Rest in the grotto-heaven.” Meng Chuan waved his hand and stored him in his Grotto-Heaven Magic Bead.
Dozens of demon monarchs were inside his Grotto-Heaven Magic Bead.
In the past three months, I’ve slaughtered more than 100,000 demon monarchs. I’ve controlled over 300 demon monarchs that have the strength of a threshold Marquis Godfiend. Meng Chuan sighed inwardly. Unfortunately, I don’t specialize in illusions. I can only control demon monarchs with my fifth-level Essence Soul. My limit is about 1,000 demon monarchs. Where did Archean Mountain’s demon monarch servants come from?
The main source came from Marquis Godfiends and Regis Godfiends that cultivated the illusion lineage. Li Guan, Luo Tang, and Qin Wu relied on their Essence Soul realm to control demon monarchs as well. Meng Chuan also had a fifth-level Essence Soul, so he was on par with Qin Wu and Luo Tang. He could only control about 1,000 demon monarch servants simultaneously. If he wanted to control more, he had to give up control over a portion of the demon monarchs to control new ones.
Most of the demon monarchs under Master’s control are at the peak of the third Firmament. As for me, I’m carrying out a large-scale selection. I can choose those that are as strong a newly-advanced fourth Firmament demon monarch. Unfortunately, I can’t forcefully control those that have attained Essence Souls. I can only kill them.
Even if the demon monarchs that had Essence Souls were willing to submit, the pressure from controlling one was too great. The strong demon monarchs that hadn’t condensed an Essence Soul were Meng Chuan’s favorite choice. He now had more than 300 demon monarch servants.
Huh? At the entrance of the ancient underwater mountain range, a black-robed figure took form and looked at the distant beam of light flying at high speeds.
I’ve waited for over 50,000 years. Finally, a Regis Godfiend has arrived. The black-robed figure was somewhat excited. I’ve been waiting for too long!
