Chapter 426: Gathering

Chapter 426 Gathering

They suffered a tragic defeat in this battle. Three of the five demon monarchs died, leaving only the two of them alive.

Holy Lady Strings pondered for a moment before saying, “The first reason why we lost so tragically this time is because of the mysterious Godfiend’s Magic Awl. Quicksand died under his hands. I also suffered heavy injuries as a result. Secondly, it’s because of Meng Chuan himself. Meng Chuan’s speed was the main reason why our attack failed; it far exceeded our expectations. My void spiderweb domain was completely useless, so we were unable to form an effective encirclement.”

“Yes.” The stocky mountain demon couldn’t help but say, “His speed is terrifying. He’s faster than many demon sages. How can a Regis Godfiend be so fast?”

Holy Lady Strings nodded and said, “The Heaven Earth laws suppress speed. He shouldn’t be this fast.”

“Could he have broken free of the world’s shackles?” asked the stocky mountain demon curiously.

“Impossible.” Holy Lady Strings shook her head. “To rely on speed to break free of the world’s shackles… that saber art’s might should far exceed your imagination. Even you and I can’t withstand a single strike from such a saber art! Although Monarch Peacock’s body is special, it will probably die from a few chops.”

The mountain demon listened in alarm.

Holy Lady Strings didn’t elaborate further. To break free of the world’s shackles with speed alone… Although Holy Lady Strings hadn’t seen it before, it was recorded in the demons’ secret records. Holy Lady Strings was highly valued by the Imperial Lords, so she once had a chance of reading the secret records.

“How can he be so fast if he hasn’t broken free of the world’s shackles?” asked the stocky mountain demon.

Holy Lady Strings pondered and said, “When I used the void spiderweb domain to surround him, I could vaguely sense that the flow of time around him was a little special. I’m guessing that… he changed the flow of time, making him appear extremely fast in our eyes.”

As a fifth Firmament demon monarch with the highest technique realm in the present eraher technique realm was much realm higher than most demon sages—she had already begun coming into contact with the profundities of time.

“Time lineage?” The mountain demon was astonished.

“There’s no trace of it when used. It’s more like a divine power. From his age, it should be a divine power,” said Holy Lady Strings.

As they reflected on this battle and conducted an after-action review, they suddenly sensed something

“Oh?” Holy Lady Strings and the stocky mountain demon flipped their hands and took out their tokens.

“The Imperial Lords have summoned us back?” Holy Lady Strings and the stocky mountain demon exchanged looks. They were somewhat puzzled.

The duo didn’t dare delay any further as they immediately rushed towards the connection point that linked the World Gap and the Demon Realm.

Holy Lady Strings led the stocky mountain demon to the nearest connection point. They directly tore through the two world membranes and returned to the Demon Realm. They then rushed to the Imperial Lord’s palace. This time, they were summoned by Lady Blackmoon, so they naturally headed for the palace where she was at.

“Holy Lady.” As she flew, she encountered a fifth Firmament demon monarch. The lion demon monarch chuckled and said, “Holy Lady, are you going to the Imperial Lord’s

place?”

Holy Lady Strings nodded slightly and looked at him. “Are you acting alone? Didn’t you go to the World Gap?”

“No,” said the lion demon monarch with a smile. “I’ve been contacting my old friends recently. I’m preparing to form a team to enter the World Gap.”

“Those who didn’t go to the World Gap have been summoned by the Imperial Lord?” Holy Lady Strings frowned slightly.

Why did the Imperial Lord summon them?

Were they going to attack the human world?

Soon, Holy Lady Strings, the stocky mountain demon, and the lion demon monarch arrived at Ice Palace.

The square in front of the ice palace was already filled with over 100 fifth Firmament demon monarchs. More fifth Firmament demon monarchs would occasionally rush over.

“Despite us traveling at full speed, there are already over 100 demon monarchs here?” When the stocky mountain demon saw this scene, he sent a voice transmission. “It looks like all the fifth Firmament demon monarchs in the Demon Realm are gathering.”

Holy Lady Strings nodded. “Yes.”

“Holy Lady.” A goat demon monarch and two other demon monarchs rapidly approached. They had close ties with Holy Lady Strings.

“Horn Mountain, only three of you are left in your team?” Holy Lady Strings saw the three demon monarchs.

“Yes.” The goat demon monarch was in a rather sorry state. He whispered, “Two hours ago, our team of nine demon monarchs were in the World Gap studying the scene of a world’s birth. Who knew that we would encounter human Godfiends, Peng Mu and Yun Jianhai? The moment they discovered us, they attacked. They also had an Essence Soul mystic technique. It was a black awl that could penetrate and destroy one’s Essence Soul. The two of them were extremely powerful. Our team collapsed the moment we clashed. We fled in all directions. As you can tell, only three of us escaped. The other six demon monarchs died.”

“Six died?” Holy Lady Strings frowned and said, “The old lion’s team was wiped out. My team also lost three demon monarchs. Horn Mountain, your team lost six… Furthermore, it all happened in half a day’s time.”

“Black Lion’s team was wiped out?” The goat demon monarch and company were alarmed.

Holy Lady Strings nodded slightly.

They knew that something was amiss. It wasn’t strange for a battle to happen in the World Gap. Human Godfiends and demon monarchs would fight over to see who would obtain possession of a treasure. However, it was abnormal for so many demons to engage in fights and end up defeated in such a short period of time.

“Sister Strings.” A black-robed elder with a dragon head walked over.

Holy Lady Strings looked at him. “Poison Dragon.”

Among the fifth Firmament demon monarchs, they stood at the top.

“I’ve heard that human Godfiends have attacked more than one team.” Patriarch Poison Dragon looked at Holy Lady Strings. “Was your team also attacked?”

Holy Lady Strings nodded.

“The humans come with ill intentions,” said Patriarch Poison Dragon. He was rather excited. He had an undying body, and his essence in life had changed. The more lively the war was, the happier he felt.

Another hour passed. All the fifth Firmament demon monarchs arrived!

A green-robed, snake-tailed woman walked over from afar. All the demon monarchs fell silent. They recognized the green-robed, snake-tailed woman. She was Lady Blackmoon’s personal maidservant; she was also one of Lady Blackmoon’s envoys. “By the Imperial Lord’s orders,” said the green-robed, snake-tailed woman. “All those who fought human Godfiends in the World Gap are to produce a detailed report and hand it to the Imperial Lord.”

“Yes,” replied all the demon monarchs respectfully.

…

“In just half a day, 43 fifth Firmament demon monarchs died in the World Gap,” said Imperial Lord Starquix. “The World Gap has been in existence for more than nine years. In the past nine years, only 31 fifth Firmament demon monarchs have died. It’s normal for us to suffer losses during battles for treasures. However, in just half a day, we lost 43 demon monarchs… It’s more than we’ve lost in the past nine years. Even someone blind can tell that something is amiss.”

“Humans know that we will try our best to send fifth Firmament demon monarchs to the human world through the World Gap,” said Lady Blackmoon. “They aren’t willing to sit still as we prepare, so they attacked first and killed our fifth Firmament demon monarchs in the World Gap.”

“Why was the result so one-sided? Why did so many die in just half a day?” Emperor Roc couldn’t help but ask, “Could it be that humans have given several Tribulation treasures to the Regis Godfiends?”

“We’ll know when we get the demon monarchs’ intelligence reports,” said Imperial Lord Starquix.

Sending fifth Firmament demon monarchs to the human world through the World Gap had long been part of the three Imperial Lords’ plans.

The three Imperial Lords valued the lives of every fifth Firmament demon monarch.

After cultivating in the World Gap for a long period of time, these fifth Firmament demon monarchs were slowly improving.

King True Martial’s True Martial lineage was powerful. The further one advanced, the harder it was for them to improve. However, he still managed to break through to the late stages of the Grotto-Heaven realm by cultivating in the World Gap.

It was more common for ordinary fifth Firmament demon monarchs to improve.

The Imperial Lords were happy to see the demon monarchs slowly improve. As for the small losses during the treasure-snatching bouts? The three Imperial Lords could tolerate

it.

However, the 43 casualties—incurred in a short period of time-shocked the Imperial Lords. They immediately summoned the rest of the fifth Firmament demon monarchs back.

Oh? Why can’t I find any demon monarchs? Dao Protector Wang Shan continued to meditate in Meng Chuan’s Grotto-Heaven Magic Bead as Meng Chuan flew around the World Gap, probing his surroundings with his electromagnetic domain.

After the battle with Holy Lady Strings, he conducted a blanket search of the World Gap. Even after searching for more than two days, he still couldn’t find a single demon monarch team. This was clearly abnormal.

King True Martial has summoned me? Meng Chuan flipped his hand and took out his token. Since they were in the World Gap, requesting help from each other was relatively simple. King True Martial’s position was also revealed on the token.
