Chapter 229: The Sloppy Elder

The vast Demon Realm.

Above the clouds, a large ship soared high in the sky. Its speed exceeded Meng Chuan’s limits. Two figures stood on the deck of the ship.

A single-horned, black-haired man stood there as though he was the center of the world. Space and time revolved around him.

The other figure was a white-robed, azure-haired man—who was clearly respectful to the black-haired man. Azure scales could barely be seen beneath his clothes. His eyes held more arrogance than the black-haired man. He was a demon sage.

“Your Majesty, there are over 300 third Firmament demon monarchs on the warship. Of them, 53 can reach the fourth Firmament at any time. The remaining demon monarchs are either at the threshold of the fourth Firmament or have powerful divine powers,” said the white-robed, azure-haired man softly, “We spent five years gathering all of them. Now that we are sending them to the human world, no accidents must occur. They are the true core of the army.”

“Nothing will go wrong.” The black-haired, single-horned man had a gentle smile on his face. “This time, your second brother will personally receive you.”

“Second Brother will receive us?” The white-robed, azure-haired man was astonished. “Your Majesty, Second Brother infiltrated the human world over 80 years ago by possessing a weak demon monarch’s body. Has his strength returned to the demon sage realm?”

“A possessed body is ultimately inferior to a true body.” The black-haired man shook his head. “He infiltrated the human world to cultivate in seclusion. After more than 80 years, he has finally recovered to the fifth Firmament. With his technique realm and the treasures we bestowed him, no one can threaten him other than Creation Supremacies.”

The white-robed, azure-haired man nodded. “Possession is indeed a forbidden technique. The Imperial Lords had chosen the most suitable body for Second Brother, but it still had flaws.”

“No matter how good the body is, it’s still inferior to one’s original body,” said the black-haired, single-horned man. “In theory, one can only reach their original strength with a possessed body. It’s impossible for him to improve any further.”

“Yes. Second Brother has sacrificed too much for the demons.” The azure-haired man sighed.

After a while, the warship landed on the ground. Many demon monarchs got off the warship in puzzlement.

“Your Majesty.” When they saw the two figures standing far away, they immediately bowed respectfully. They all knew the single-horned, black-haired man. He was one of the demon’s supreme Imperial Lords—Imperial Lord Starquix. Imperial Lords could live up to 10,000 years, and their strength far exceeded the imagination of ordinary demon monarchs. They ruled the demon world for a very, very long time.

“Up ahead is the World Entrance. It leads to the human world.” Imperial Lord Starquix commanded the demon monarchs. “Set off!”

“Yes.” All the demon monarchs responded in unison. They had long prepared for their venture into the human world. They knew the critical moment had arrived. They naturally followed the order and entered the World Entrance swiftly.

...

A hot summer day in the Great Yue Dynasty.

“Cough, cough.” A sloppy elder with a walking stick coughed as he came to a city pass. This was one of the abandoned medium-sized city passes. It was dead silent.

The sloppy old man’s eyes turned yellow as he admired the world.

“This world sure is beautiful. It’s suitable for us demons to live in,” praised the sloppy elder. He walked into the desolate city with his walking stick and scanned his surroundings. “This city hides a Marquis Godfiend and five Indestructible Godfiends. From the looks of it, Two World Island values this place quite a bit.”

This sloppy old man was the strongest demon in the human world. However, he still needed to be extremely careful because once Creation Supremacies discovered his existence, he would be finished. Therefore, he only took action when it was extremely important.

For example, this time...

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

At the city pass, one demon monarch after another exited the World Entrance.

“Marquis, demon monarchs discovered.”

“Demon monarchs have entered the human world.”

The five Indestructible Godfiends in charge of monitoring the World Entrance immediately discovered demon monarchs.

“Oh?” Killing intent filled a cold, black-robed man’s eyes. As a Marquis Godfiend, he could easily slaughter these third Firmament demon monarchs.

However, at that moment...

Not good. The black-robed man suddenly sensed something. Without any time to dodge, a thin hand reached out from the void and grabbed at the black-robed man.

Puff! Puff! Puff!

The black-robed man’s body was covered with layers of protective forces. These protective forces were a Darkstar domain manifestation. Its ability to weaken attacks was extremely powerful. These hundreds of layers of protective forces combined together to resist the thin hand. However, the thin hand easily tore through the protective layers.

This crushing sensation made the black-robed man extremely alarmed. Which Regis Godfiend is it?

Even the two fifth Firmament Skydemons from the Skydemon Sect couldn’t overwhelm him so easily. After all, the Skydemon cultivation system was relatively weak compared to the demon monarch and Godfiend cultivation systems. He also didn’t even think that his assailant was possibly a demon monarch because nobody in the human world had ever seen a fifth Firmament demon monarch. Furthermore, this hand looked human. It didn’t emit a demonic aura, so the black-robed man thought it was a Regis Godfiend attacking him.

In the past, human sects had fought each other. However, they had put on a united front against the demons for the past 800 years. Furthermore, he was a Marquis Godfiend. He was an extremely important fighting force in the war. Which Regis Godfiend was bold and crazy enough to kill a Marquis Godfiend? Wasn’t he afraid of being punished by the three sects?

Pfft.

Although the black-robed man brandished his saber, the thin hand sent the saber flying with a flick of a finger. The flick also sliced through the black-robed man’s neck.

The black-robed man’s head flew up, his eyes filled with anger and disbelief.

Marquis Barn Wood from Two World Island died in battle.

Pu! Pu! Pu! Pu! Pu!

The five Indestructible Godfiends had their heads pierced by an invisible force. They died on the spot. There were no more living humans within 50 kilometers of the city pass.

Human world. Over 300 third Firmament demon monarchs entered the human world. They were extremely excited.

“This is the Great Yue Dynasty’s Wind Wood Pass. Follow our original plan and act separately.” An elderly voice sounded in the ears of every demon monarch. Following that, the sloppy elder left silently. He did not make further contact with the demon monarchs. He protected these demon monarchs successfully.

These demon monarchs had assigned destinations. They would be scattered across the world and become the core of the demon army.

...

Infiltration, interception, counterattack...

This had occurred without people knowing of it!

Meng Chuan and his wife hadn’t noticed it because the third Firmament demon monarchs weren’t really familiar with their surroundings and had yet to launch a large-scale attack.

Whoosh~

Engulfed in flames, Liu Qiyue sat cross-legged in a chamber. Suddenly, the flames changed slightly and turned golden. They surged violently and condensed into the shape of a phoenix. Following that, the flames retreated into Liu Qiyue’s body as the phenomenon vanished. Liu Qiyue opened her eyes and rushed out of the chamber with delight.

“Ah Chuan, Ah Chuan.” Liu Qiyue entered the house.

Meng Chuan was flipping through a book in bed. He smiled at Liu Qiyue. “Your cultivation ended so early?”

“I broke through,” Liu Qiyue said excitedly.

“Broke through?” Meng Chuan was surprised.

“I’ve reached the Realm of Dao!” Liu Qiyue was extremely excited.
