Chapter 448 Tragic

He’s dead? King Transcendence, King Molten, and King Gu Eyes revealed looks of excitement.

The distant Holy Lady Strings, Patriarch Poison Dragon, and the Eighteen Black River Guard found it unbelievable.

King True Martial’s expression was solemn, without a hint of delight.

Whoosh.

The gray pillar of light had pulverized Monarch Peac.o.c.k’s body.

Suddenly, immense power gathered and fused, forming the black-haired man’s body in the blink of an eye. The dark purple robe draped over him once again as the spear landed in his hand.

Blood Rebirth? Meng Chuan’s expression changed slightly. He knew the specifics of such life-preservation means. His Blood Droplet realm body could instantly reform, even when his body was reduced to invisible particles.

Monarch Peac.o.c.k clearly had life-preservation means similar to Blood Rebirth. After all, he had instantly recovered with no injuries to be seen on his body.

“You’re injured,” said King True Martial in a deep voice.

“You should be able to kill me if you use that same move 20 more times.” Monarch Peac.o.c.k looked at King True Martial excitedly. “I’ll stand here. Continue!” King True Martial’s pupils constricted. Though he was already heavily injured after using it once, he could still maintain his normal strength. However, if he executed the attack again, he would become extremely weak for the entire battle.

“That’s all you got?” Monarch Peac.o.c.k’s eyes were filled with madness. “Then it’s my turn. Attack,” ordered Monarch Peac.o.c.k.

Boom!

Instantly, the world collapsed. A River of Darkness instantly engulfed the surrounding area. Meng Chuan and company could only see black water everywhere around them. The black water could even corrode the True Martial domain’s Yin-Yang disc instantly.

“Seal.” King True Martial’s expression changed slightly. He stretched out his hands slightly, and copious amounts of Yin-Yang energy spread out from his body. The energy revolved around the G.o.dfiends as it blocked every attack from every direction.

However, the True Martial domain’s range was reduced. It only extended to 1,000 feet of him.

Meng Chuan and the other G.o.dfiends were confined to that 1,000-foot-wide area.

What’s this? Meng Chuan couldn’t believe his eyes when he saw the black water. It was different from Patriarch Poison Dragon’s poisonous black water. The churning black water was even darker, denser, and thicker. Its might was even more terrifying! He had the feeling that his body would be reduced to dust if he charged into the black water without his Bloodblade Disc defending him.

Boom!

King Molten swung the Fire Refinement Star Cauldron down with all his might, stirring up waves as it smashed into the black water.

“What array formation is this?” King True Martial’s expression turned solemn. He had created his own True Martial lineage and was best at defense.

With the help of his Tribulation treasure’s Yin-Yang energy, his True Martial domain’s power was elevated to extreme heights. It could crush Holy Lady Strings’s domain head-on. When it came to domain techniques, King True Martial believed that no one could match him, be it Regis G.o.dfiends or fifth Firmament demon monarchs. However, this time, he was completely suppressed.

This was the Black River Array Formation. This array formation had only been obtained by one of the Demon realm’s Imperial LordsEmperor Roc-because he had a high status within this region of the River of s.p.a.cetime. Using his reputation, he had gone to the Black River Realm to negotiate, eventually obtaining the Eighteen Black River Life Caskets.

Afterward, he selected 18 suitable fifth Firmament demon monarchs to refine the Black River Life Caskets and form the Eighteen Black River Guard. The Eighteen Black River Guard had worked together to set up the Black River Array Formation, forming this 400-kilometer-long Black River! Emperor Roc had only expended a lot of effort to create the Eighteen Black River Guard because he knew that the array formation was extremely powerful. The Black River Array Formation was also the three Imperial Lords’ trump card.

Whoosh.

Monarch Peac.o.c.k suddenly opened his mouth and sucked.

The void began to distort.

A special force instantly descended on the G.o.dfiends. They could sense s.p.a.ce compressing them. Divine power—Heaven Devouring! This was Monarch Peac.o.c.k’s strongest divine power.

Monarch Peac.o.c.k flew over alone because he wanted to be closer to the human G.o.dfiends. He wanted to use Heaven Devouring when he was within range!

Thankfully, with the True Martial domain’s resistance, Meng Chuan and company didn’t suffer too much pressure. Otherwise, the force that acted on them would be several times stronger.

Not good. Meng Chuan and company felt terrible. They struggled to resist the spatial compression.

King True Martial used his True Martial domain to resist the Black River Array Formation as he also did his best to weaken Heaven Devouring’s influence on the void.

“Be careful.” King True Martial’s expression changed.

Black spears suddenly flew out from the black water in all directions. Previously, these spears had taken form while hidden in the array formation. Due to this, the human G.o.dfiends didn’t notice them. By the time they discovered the black spears, they had already reached the edge of the True Martial domain.

In the blink of an eye, the flying, black spears shot into the True Martial domain and headed towards every G.o.dfiend!

Swis.h.!.+ Swis.h.!.+ Swis.h.!.+ Swis.h.!.+ Swis.h.!.+ Swis.h.!.+

Every flying spear had terrifying might and speed.

Meng Chuan and company were still affected by Monarch Peac.o.c.k’s divine power-Heaven Devouring

“Be careful.” King Molten didn’t have time to react. He threw the Fire Refinement Star Cauldron-which was several times larger than him-up and covered himself and King Northcleanse. The flying, black spears then struck the Fire Refinement Star Cauldron.

Silver runes appeared on both sides of Meng Chuan’s face as silver lightning flashed around his head. He stepped on the Bloodblade Disc and transformed into a phantom. He was the least afraid of the flying, black spears. The flying, black spears moved at a speed of about 150 kilometers per second. Although Meng Chuan was affected by Heaven Devouring, under Flowing Sand, he could still move faster than the flying spears.

He easily dodged the black spears with just his movement techniques. Furthermore, he was able to hide in the deep void in a split second. The flying spears were unable to touch him.

King Thousand Wood. With a thought, Meng Chuan sent 12 Bloodblades to protect King Thousand Wood.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Countless flying spears pummeled King Thousand Wood.

The demons clearly knew that Meng Chuan was too slippery, while King True Martial was too strong. Therefore, they attacked King Thousand Wood with more than 100 flying spears. The surrounding Forest World array formation obstructed them, but the black water spears easily penetrated past it.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

The spears struck the Bloodblades one after another. Meng Chuan tried his best to control the Bloodblades to block all the flying, black spears.

Although the Bloodblade Disc was good at defense, the flying spears were too powerful. Meng Chuan struggled to block all of them.

At that moment, he hated the fact that his cultivation realm wasn’t high enough. Due to his low cultivation realm, he wasn’t able to utilize the Bloodblade Disc’s defensive powers fully.

Roar!

Countless Nine Lives Coc.o.o.n threads converged to form a ma.s.sive white snakewhich then charged into the True Martial domain. The white snake lunged at King Thousand Wood, attempting to kill him.

“Break! Break! Break!” King True Martial punched at the distant Monarch Peac.o.c.k with all his might.

A blurry fist projection tore through the sky, forcing Monarch Peac.o.c.k to stop using his divine power and block the punch with his full strength.

King True Martial then diverted his attention and struck out with his palm. The blurry, gray palm phantom struck the white snake, making it fly out of the True Martial domain and into the churning black river.

“Die.” After Monarch Peac.o.c.k stopped his divine power, he thrust his spear at King True Martial. The world trembled as it stabbed at King True Martial.

“Hide in here. Come in and hide!” roared King Molten from within the Fire Refinement Star Cauldron. Under the protection of the 12 Bloodblades, King Thousand Wood hurriedly entered the cauldron.

Only then did Meng Chuan cast his gaze at the others.

King Transcendence was naturally fine because he hid in the shadow world.

Peng Mu’s expression was ferocious as vines danced around him, isolating him from most of the flying, black spears. He blocked a small number of them with his palm arts. Even when he was struck occasionally, his Indestructible Divine Body helped him quickly heal his injuries.

Dao Protector w.a.n.g Shan sat cross-legged. No matter how intense the attacks were, his body

—which was like a powerful divine armament -remained completely unharmed.

King Calm Sea defended his surroundings with a single sword. His sword art affected s.p.a.cetime, causing his slas.h.i.+ng speed to be very astonis.h.i.+ng. At the same time, he withstood dozens of flying, black spears with his body. Although his ice body was tough, a few fist-sized holes riddled it.

Affected by Monarch Peac.o.c.k’s Heaven Devouring, King Calm Sea’s movement technique revealed flaws, causing him to be hit by the flying spears. Thankfully, King Calm Sea’s ice body was extremely tough. The flying spears weren’t able to destroy his ice body completely.

Senior Brother Yun and King Gu Eyes died. Meng Chuan felt a hint of grief.

Meng Chuan could clearly sense what happened through his domain.

Affected by Monarch Peac.o.c.k’s divine powerHeaven Devouring-Yun Jianhai’s sword formation was affected greatly. Due to this, he was struck by the flying, black spears. Yun Jianhai’s body wasn’t very strong. After two spears struck his body consecutively, his body was completely annihilated. King Gu Eyes was originally very agile, but he was unable to dodge the spears due to being affected by Heaven Devouring. Although his body was tough, he was completely reduced to dust after being penetrated by dozens of flying, black spears.

In that single exchange, Monarch Peac.o.c.k’s Heaven Devouring and the Black River Array Formation caused two G.o.dfiends to die.

Boom!King True Martial’s fist tore through the air and clashed with the spear. He flew backward after the collision; his True Martial domain followed him.

All the flying, black water spears scattered as well.

“We only killed two.” Monarch Peac.o.c.k stood in the vast black river with his spear in his hand. He looked at the remaining G.o.dfiends in the True Martial domain and grinned. “However, the remaining G.o.dfiends are all turtles in a jar. None of them can escape.”

Inside the True Martial domain.

King True Martial, Meng Chuan, and the other G.o.dfiends—including the G.o.dfiends hiding in the Fire Refinement Star Cauldron-were extremely furious.

The death of their companions saddened them. Their killing intent intensified as they grieved for their fallen comrades.

Lunatic Yun, rest in peace. I’ll kill more demon monarchs before coming to accompany you. Peng Mu’s eyes were filled with tears. He and Lunatic Yun had reigned supreme in the same era. After waking up from their slumbers that lasted nearly 1,000 years, the two of them had been guarding cities. This time, they had come to the World Gap to fight. However, Lunatic Yun had pa.s.sed away before him.

King Gu Eyes. King Thousand Wood—who was in the Fire Refinement Star Cauldron-looked at the numerous Gu worm corpses in the distance. That strange-tempered little fellowwhose Gu worms accompanied him his entire life—had died just like that?
