Chapter 60: There Are Other Godfiends?

Meng Chuan arrived at the critical moment and killed Commander Wyrm in one strike. While this was happening, another scene was playing out in Eastcalm Prefecture’s Jadesun Palace.

Jadesun Palace had already been reduced to ruins. The battle between the Godfiends and demon monarchs was simply horrifying. All the buildings in Jadesun Palace had collapsed. Even the prisons that housed demons had been destroyed. The imprisoned demons were reduced to meat paste, before being turned into pools of blood.

There was not a single bone left, only blood.

Boom!

Yun Wanhai was sent flying backward by a blow, and deep ravines appeared on the ground. His body was surrounded by purple flames, making him look like a flame god. However, he couldn’t help but cough out blood as he lay within the ravine. His blood—filled with dying violet flames—sprayed onto the soil.

“Die!” A black beam flashed as a black-furred ape swung its pole at Yun Wanhai.

Fairy Meng—who was standing a distance away—hurriedly waved her hand with a solemn expression. An illusory hand appeared out of nowhere and grabbed the heavily injured Yun Wanhai, pulling him away. It caused the Demon Monarch Ape’s pole to slam into the ground. The ensuing boom was like a thunderclap in spring. It left behind a huge crater over 100-feet wide. As for Yun Wanhai, he was rapidly sent flying thanks to the yank. He had only been a foot away from being hit by the terrifying pole.

When he flew to Fairy Meng’s side, Yun Wanhai whispered, “Fairy, you saved my life.” With that said, he couldn’t help but cough out blood.

Fairy Meng didn’t think too much of it. She looked up into the sky with a solemn expression. Invisible waves constantly emanated from her as she influenced the three demon monarchs in a bid to help Palace Lord Jadesun.

At that moment, Palace Lord Jadesun’s body began glowing. His palms were like jade sculptures. All his fighting prowess were in that pair of hands—fist arts, palm arts, claw arts, finger arts... They were undeniably mystical! He withstood three demon monarchs head-on single-handedly. There was Demon Monarch Domineering Roar—who was over a 100-feet tall and had immense strength. He also fought against a demon monarch that used poison and the third Firmament demon monarch, Whitesink.

It was also because he had been going all out. Otherwise, he would’ve long been doomed if he relied on the heavily injured Fairy Meng and Yun Wanhai!

Following the mid-air clash, Palace Lord Jadesun fell to the ground and staggered a few steps back. When he reached Fairy Meng and company, his pale face instantly returned to normal.

“Can you still hold on?” Palace Lord Jadesun looked at Yun Wanhai.

“Now that I’ve used a forbidden Godfiend spell, I can only continue for another ten seconds,” Yun Wanhai said in a low voice. “After that, I will be smashed to death by that Demon Monarch Ape.”

“Palace Lord.” Fairy Meng said immediately, “Yun Wanhai’s injuries are too serious.”

Palace Lord Jadesun knew that too. The enemy’s strength was beyond his expectations. Amongst the four demon monarchs, the second Firmament demon monarchs were all extraordinary, much less the third Firmament Whitesink.

As for their side?

Fairy Meng had hidden injuries, so she could only cast her domain by the side. This was the best way for Fairy Meng to be of use in this battle. Yun Wanhai was able to take some of the heat off him. But when Demon Monarch Ape and Demon Monarch Domineering Roar joined forces, they completely crushed Yun Wanhai. In just a short clash, Yun Wanhai was nearly beaten to death despite using a forbidden Godfiend spell.

Even though he was lucky not to have died, he was still severely injured. He wouldn’t be of much use in the battle.

Palace Lord Jadesun had to face the combined assault of four demon monarchs. This snuffed out any hope.

“The entire Eastcalm Prefecture is under attack, but we have no solution at all,” Yun Wanhai said via voice transmission. “Are we just going to stall for time?”

“I’ve already requested for reinforcements from the Wu State’s State City and Archean Mountain,” Palace Lord Jadesun said via voice transmission. “Right now, we can only hope for some powerful Godfiends that are fairly close to Eastcalm Prefecture to rescue us in time. Otherwise, the entire Eastcalm Prefecture will be reduced to rubble.”

“Strange.” Fairy Meng sent a voice transmission. “Why have the four demon monarchs stopped?”

Yun Wanhai and Palace Lord Jadesun were equally astonished.

The Godfiends had been at a disadvantage the entire battle, and the demon monarchs had the upper hand. Logically speaking, the demon monarchs should be seizing every moment to kill the three Godfiends. Why did they stop? historical

...

The four demon monarchs had stopped temporarily because something very important had happened.

“Demon Monarch Whitesink.” Demon Monarch Ape, Demon Monarch Domineering Roar, and Demon Monarch Poison Pool looked at the army’s leader, Demon Monarch Whitesink.

“What happened?” asked Domineering Roar with a voice transmission.

Whitesink took out a token from his chest, and his gaze swept around. With a voice transmission, he said, “This token was bestowed to me by the Mountain Lord. It can be used to commandeer the entire army. At the same time, this token can sense the 18 commanders’ tokens. I am certain that 9 of the 18 Commanders have already died.”

“Half of them died?” Amidst the black fog, Poison Pool was extremely shocked.

“That’s impossible.” Ape couldn’t help but say, “These commanders are virtually invincible in the mortal realm. Their opponents are all human mortals. It’s very difficult for them to die in battle. How can half of them die in battle so quickly?”

“The moment the invasion began, I quickly sensed the death of two commanders,” said Whitesink through a voice transmission. “But back then, we had to deal with the three Godfiends from Jadesun Palace. I didn’t want you to be distracted, so I didn’t mention it. But following that, I sensed commanders dying one after another. Just a moment ago, I sensed that in the southeastern and northern regions, three commanders died in quick succession within seconds. Now, we have already lost nine commanders. I have to mention that if this continues, I’m afraid all eighteen commanders will die.”

“How could this be? How did the commanders die to mortals so easily? How did nine commanders get killed so easily?” The other three demon monarchs turned anxious as well.

Ape frowned. “We weren’t in a hurry to finish the battle with the Godfiends in Jadesun Palace because we were confident that the demon army could flatten Eastcalm Prefecture. If it turns out that our demon army is destroyed, what’s the point of us fighting here?”

“There’s only one possibility for nine commanders to be killed.” Whitesink’s eyes were cold as he sent a voice transmission. “There are other Godfiends in Eastcalm Prefecture City. There might even be more than one of them. These Godfiends in hiding are recklessly slaughtering the demons.”

The three demon monarchs agreed. If one demon commander had died, it could be blamed on humans relying on traps and killing a commander through body count.

To have nine die in a short period of time, all they could think of was one possibility—a Godfiend had taken action.

“They don’t dare to help Palace Lord Jadesun fight us. It shows that they aren’t strong enough. They are likely newly advanced Godfiends who have just broken through. They are very young, weak Godfiends,” said Whitesink with a voice transmission. “Demon Monarch Poison Pool, take my token and set off quickly. Head to the demon commanders who are still alive! Once you discover a Godfiend, kill them immediately.”

“Alright, I’ll go over.” The black fog-shrouded Poison Pool stretched out his iridescent green arm and took the token. “If it’s a new Godfiend, I’ll definitely be able to kill them easily.”

Those that were chosen by Mountain Lord Nine Convocation were rather powerful second Firmament demons.

Swoosh.

He rapidly flew southeast with his black fog.

...

Yun Wanhai, Fairy Meng, and Palace Lord Jadesun took the opportunity to consume pills to heal as quickly as possible. However, their expressions changed slightly when they saw a demon monarch shrouded in black fog leaving.

“Why did the demon monarch leave?” Fairy Meng’s heart tightened. She was most worried about the hope of her family—Meng Chuan. But now, she couldn’t afford to think too much. The remaining three demon monarchs were charging over again.

“Kill them.” Demon Monarch Whitesink and the other two were clearly more desperate than before. They were now worried about the demon army. If the demon army was slaughtered and they lost the war, Mountain Lord Nine Convocation would severely punish them.

Boom!

Palace Lord Jadesun once again clashed with them. Only he could resist them! If he couldn’t hold them back, both Fairy Meng and Yun Wanhai—who were seriously injured—would be instantly torn apart.
