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, Starquixβs aura was weak; his unstable aura spread out in all directions, affecting Nine Abyss.
βIβm useless. I failed to kill Meng Chuan,β 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 wouldnβt be disheartened. However, he was afraid of what would happen when things didnβt go as expected! He knew how important this matter was to the Imperial Lords.
βYou are a demon sage that has cultivated for many years. Furthermore, you have a Tribulation treasure. However, you couldnβt even kill a Regis Godfiend?β said Lady Blackmoon with a sneer. βHis strength is not inferior to that of a Creation Supremacy. He also has a Tribulation treasure,β explained Nine Abyss immediately. βFurthermore, 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. Iβm afraid it will take me 100 years to recover completely. With my Essence Soul heavily injured, my strength suffered greatly. Thatβs why I couldnβt do anything to him.β
It was very difficult to recover oneβs 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 βdamagedβ state. This was very dangerous.
For those that didnβt 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.
βBlack awl?β Blackmoon, Starquix, and Roc exchanged looks.
βMagic Awl.β Blackmoon said softly, βItβs been a long time since Iβve heard of the Magic Awl mystic technique. Another Godfiend from the Archean Eon Realm has mastered this mystic technique.β
The Magic Awl mystic technique was once the most famous killer move of Archean Eon Realmβs Godfiends that traveled the River of Spacetime. Unlike the Essence Soul Star legacy βwhich suffered restrictions from the River of Spacetimeβs 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 didnβt suffer those restrictions. Most of the human worldβs 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 didnβt understand the profundities behind it. They only knew how to construct the Essence Soul weapon and carve the runic patterns according to the manualβs description. As for why these runic patterns were constructed in such a manner? They didnβt 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.
βEven without the Essence Soul mystic technique, his strength is comparable to a top Creation realm expert,β said Nine Abyss. βFurthermore, 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 Phoenixβs Nirvana…β Emperor Roc waved his hand. βAlright, you may leave.β
Nine Abyss was delighted.
βIt will be as previously said,β said Lady Blackmoon. βThe 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.β
βI understand,β said Nine Abyss excitedly.
βTake your leave,β said Blackmoon.
βIβll take my leave.β 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.
βWhat a good-for-nothing.β Imperial Lord Starquix watched Nine Abyss leave and couldnβt help but shake his head.
βIn order to make the demon sages willing to work for us, we have to bear with it,β said Emperor Roc. βThis Meng Chuanβs 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!β
βThereβs nothing we can do to him across a world,β said Lady Blackmoon. βWith him around, us demons wonβt 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.β
βYes, there are a total of nine Creation realm humans. Most of them are guarding super-large city passes and their sects. They wonβt dare to move easily. Our fifth Firmament demon monarchs are enough to take down the cities and kill Regis Godfiends,β 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 couldnβt 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.
βAs long as we send them in, we will have the advantage,β said Emperor Roc. βHowever, itβs 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. βSecond, break through the humanβs world membrane in a short period of time and quickly enter the World Gap. We must not be intercepted by human experts. After that, weβll head to the World Gap and find the corresponding connection points.β 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, βWe still have to be careful of the humans laying an ambush. If we arenβt careful, the fifth Firmament demon monarchs will be wiped out the moment they enter the human world.β
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.
βItβs very difficult. Just a single mistake during the entire process will result in complete failure,β said Emperor Roc. βOnce we reach the World Gap, we will have the advantage in strength,β said Lady Blackmoon. βI think thereβs a 50% chance of this plan succeeding. If we fail again, we will have to place our bets on the World Entrances.β
As time passed, more World Entrances would appear. Maybe a World Entrance that could accommodate demon sages would appear. βPerhaps a World Entrance that allows demon sages to enter will never appear,β said Emperor Roc. βWe canβt place our hopes on luck. Our greatest hope is still the World Gap.β βPrepare well,β said Imperial Lord Starquix. βIf we fail again, we will probably have to wait centuries. We might never have a chance of succeeding ever again.β Emperor Roc and Lady Blackmoon nodded.
