Chapter 234: Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue

The three greater demon monarchs exchanged looks and followed the plan. Greater Demon Monarch Emerald Toad bowed respectfully and said, “Demon Sage, I command all demon monarchs in Black Sand Dynasty. In a year, we have lost over 32,000 demon monarchs and killed 75 G.o.dfiends. Among the deceased G.o.dfiends, 39 were Black Sand Grotto-Heaven’s Great Solar G.o.dfiends.”

“More than 30,000 demon monarchs died in battle?” The demon sage frowned slightly. “Only dozens of G.o.dfiends were killed?”

“Seventy percent of the demon monarchs that died were second Firmament demon monarchs. Thirty percent were third Firmament demon monarchs,” said Emerald Toad respectfully. “Five fourth Firmament demon monarchs died in battle.”

Puzzled, the demon sage said, “The Demon Realm has ordered fourth Firmament demon monarchs not to attack in the first year. Why would five of them die in battle? Furthermore, the casualties are much higher than the Demon Realm’s expectations.”

“There are many reasons. Humans now treasure every G.o.dfiend’s life,” said Emerald Toad. “The weaker G.o.dfiends don’t come out of Black Sand Grotto-Heaven. The ones fighting outside are elite G.o.dfiend teams. They even have life-preservation items. It’s very difficult to kill a G.o.dfiend team. As for the number of demon monarchs that died… the main reason is because of King White Treasure.”

“King White Treasure?” The demon sage nodded slightly.

“Yes.” Emerald Toad said, “King White Treasure is good at scouting underground. He spends long periods underground, sweeping through many areas. Many demon monarchs have been discovered while hiding in underground abodes. He discovered all five fourth Firmament demon monarchs that died in battle. Sixty percent of the demon monarchs died to his hands. Those five fourth Firmament demon monarchs died because of him. I suggest that we think of a way to get rid of him! Otherwise, he will continue slaughtering us demons.”

Emerald Toad looked forward to it. If the demon sage were to take action personally, he could naturally kill a Regis G.o.dfiend.

The demon sage calmly said, “It’s not the time yet.”

Before he possessed his current body, his strength was indeed that of a demon sage. However, after possessing a weak demon monarch’s body to infiltrate the human world, he had only recovered to the fifth Firmament realm after years of cultivation. In addition, most of his strength stemmed from his body!

He could say that he was nearly invincible under the Creation realm. He might be able to suppress King White Treasure, but it wouldn’t be easy to kill him. He might even be held back by King White Treasure long enough for a Creation Supremacy to arrive.

He only had 30% of his original strength. If he encountered a Creation Supremacy, he would definitely die!

Even if the combined number of demon monarchs that entered the human world were added up, they were not as important as a demon sage. He was a demon sage! Low-level demon monarchs sprouted and died all the time. How could they compare to a demon sage?

“Yes.” Emerald Toad didn’t dare say another word.

“What about the two of you?” asked the demon sage.

“Demon Sage.” Great Demon Monarch Lofty Wood—he had tree bark-like skin—bowed respectfully. “I command all demon monarchs in the Great Yue Dynasty. Over the past year, over 21,000 demon monarchs died. Thirty percent were third Firmament demon monarchs. Two fourth Firmament demon monarchs died in battle. 83 G.o.dfiends were killed. Among them, 41 were Two World Island’s Great Solar G.o.dfiends.”

“That sounds better than the Black Sand Dynasty. There are fewer demon monarch casualties, but the battle results are better.” The demon sage nodded.

“In the Great Yue Dynasty, two G.o.dfiends pose a great threat to the demons,” said Lofty Wood. “One of them is King Mirage Fog. He can form up to 10,000 fog embodiments to search for demons underground. Thirty percent of our losses are due to his existence. The two dead fourth Firmament demon monarchs were also killed because of him.

“The other is Marquis Windrain. He’s extremely fast, even faster than Regis G.o.dfiends. He defends three states by himself. He kills several-fold more demon monarchs than ordinary Regis G.o.dfiends.”

The demon sage nodded when he heard that. “Do you have the confidence to kill Marquis Windrain, Great Demon Monarch Lofty Wood?”

“Fifty percent,” said Lofty Wood respectfully.

Since Lofty Wood commanded all demon monarchs in the Great Yue Dynasty, it was only natural that he was a powerful fourth Firmament demon monarch that had infiltrated the human world for a long time. He had combat strength comparable to a peak Marquis G.o.dfiend.

“I’ll bestow you with the Black Cloud Miasma,” said the demon sage.

“Ninety percent.” A look of delight appeared in Lofty Wood’s eyes. He immediately said, “As long as he doesn’t have any heaven-defying life-preservation means, he will definitely die.”

Black Cloud Miasma… was a treasure that even fifth Firmament demon monarchs coveted.

“Okay.” With a wave of his hand, a tiny black cloud flew towards Lofty Wood. He immediately accepted it as the demon sage instructed, “Come up with a good plan. Take action and kill Marquis Windrain within a year.”

“Yes,” said Lofty Wood excitedly.

The demon sage thought nothing of giving away the Black Cloud Miasma. As a demon sage, his wealth was astounding. In addition, the three Imperial Lords had bestowed him treasures due to the risks he took to enter the human world. This made his wealth several times greater than ordinary demon sages.

“What about you?” The demon sage stared at the last greater demon monarch.

Greater Demon Monarch Blackrock respectfully said, “In the Great Zhou Dynasty, over 23,000 demon monarchs died in battle. About 30 percent were third Firmament demon monarchs. Three fourth Firmament demon monarchs died in battle, and 61 G.o.dfiends were killed. Among the killed G.o.dfiends, 35 were Archean Mountain Great Solar G.o.dfiends.”

The demon sage continued to listen.

“In the Great Zhou Dynasty, the one who poses the greatest threat is King True Martial. Rumours say that King True Martial can pry into the past and find demon monarch lairs. Nearly 20 percent of our losses were caused by him alone. The two dead fourth Firmament demon monarchs were also killed by him. At the same time, there’s a Great Solar G.o.dfiend couple in my territory. They’re Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue,” said Blackrock.

“Great Solar G.o.dfiends?” The demon sage was astonished.

“Although they are Great Solar G.o.dfiends, they have strength comparable to Marquis G.o.dfiends,” Blackrock continued. “Furthermore, Meng Chuan has the fastest Lightning Devastator Fiend Body among humans. His rescue area is vast, reaching that of a state. Over a year, over 1000 demon monarchs have died at the hands of the couple. They are almost comparable to a Regis G.o.dfiend. According to my estimations, they might become Marquis G.o.dfiends at any time. Once they break through, their threat will rapidly increase. They’ll be more of a threat than Marquis Windrain.”

“Are you confident of getting rid of the couple?” asked the demon sage.

“Meng Chuan poses a great threat to us demons. Archean Mountain knows that too. Archean Mountain has definitely bestowed life-saving means to such a peerless genius,” said Blackrock. “His wife, Liu Qiyue, can cast Phoenix’s Nirvana to increase her strength greatly. If I were to take action, I only have a 50 to 60 percent chance of killing them. Actually, what I’m most worried about is the life-saving treasures bestowed by Archean Mountain.”

The demon sage smiled and nodded. “You should have the confidence if I bestow you with the Dragonwater Domain, right?”

“I will have more than 90% confidence unless the life-preservation means bestowed by Archean Mountain are too powerful.” Blackrock was also excited. “A precious treasure shouldn’t be too powerful in the hands of a Great Solar G.o.dfiend like Meng Chuan.”

“Alright, plan well. Kill the couple within a year.” With a flip of his palm, an azure dragon sculpture appeared.

Blackrock was somewhat excited as he watched the azure dragon sculpture fly towards him. With this treasure, his strength could double. As a peak fourth Firmament demon monarch with strength close to that of a Regis G.o.dfiend, treasures that could increase his strength were naturally extremely valuable. In the Demon Realm, only fifth Firmament demon monarchs and above were qualified to vie for such treasures.

Yet, they were bestowed with such treasures in the human world.
