Meng Chuan enjoyed the happy family reunion at Archean Mountain. However, three days later, he returned to the World Gap.

Time passed

Years passed.

After Meng Chuan resolved the threat of a million demon monarchs, the human world experienced rare peace. It reached the point where many of the younger generation had never seen demons before.

In the blink of an eye, 15 years had passed since Meng Chuan and company had begun their mission in the World Gap.

In a dark chamber.

The chamber was engraved with dense runes. Demon Sage Fire Dragon and Demon Sage Deep Profundity stood in the chamber as they looked at the pool in front of them.

The runes emitted silver-white light. On the surface of the pool, Imperial Lord Starquix appeared.

“One more year.” Deep Profundity said respectfully, “In a year, the two of us will become the strongest below the demon sage realm.”

“Alright,” said Imperial Lord Starquix coldly. “The Demon Realm will wait another year. A year later, we will launch an all-out attack. We won’t forget your contributions if you succeed.”

“Thank you, Imperial Lord,” replied the two demon sages obediently. According to the plan, the two of them would go to two separate spots in the human world that were tens of thousands of kilometers apart. They would simultaneously blast through the world membrane and head to the World Gap.

As long as one successfully entered the World Gap, they would map the corresponding connection points between the human world and the World Gap.

With a complete map, the demons could easily send fifth Firmament demon monarchs into the human world through the World Gap.

The Demon Realm, Lady Blackmoon’s Ice Palace.

The three Imperial Lords sat in the hall.

“The all-out attack will happen in a year.” Imperial Lord Starquix looked at his two companions. “Before the all-out attack, we should first sweep the World Gap clean.”

“Yes.” Emperor Roc nodded slightly. “Over the years, our avatars have worked hard to exchange for treasures in the outer realm so that we can nurture the fifth Firmament demon monarchs at all costs. It’s time for them to repay us.” Lady Blackmoon smiled and said, “The human world’s Creation Supremacies don’t dare go to the outer realm. Even if they want to nurture Regis Godfiends, they can only use what they have accumulated in the past. They are definitely far inferior to our Demon Realm. By the way, which demon monarchs are we sending to the World Gap to hunt the Godfiends?”

Emperor Roc looked at Imperial Lord Starquix.

“I’ve already given it some thought.” Imperial Lord Starquix waved his hand, and two illusory figures appeared in midair. One was a black-robed, dragon-headed elder and a silver-robed woman with feelers on her forehead.

“Poison Dragon has a black water body. Its Essence Soul has been scattered and fused with every drop of black water,” said Imperial Lord Starquix. “Even if it suffers an attack from a Magic Awl, it can only destroy a tiny portion of the black water’s Essence Soul. The damage a Magic Awl can deal to Poison Dragon’s Essence Soul is not worth mentioning. It’s impossible for Regis Godfiends to kill Poison Dragon.”

Lady Blackmoon and Emperor Roc agreed.

“Now that Poison Dragon has refined five poisonous objects and a Tribulation treasureWater Essence Bead-its poisonous, black water is several times more potent. Its combat strength has also greatly increased,” said Imperial Lord Starquix with a smile. “Even if the Creation Supremacies-Qin Wu and Li Guan—in the human world were to attack, they would probably only be able to trap Poison Dragon’s black water body and seal it. It would be very difficult to kill Poison Dragon.”

The black water body was truly perfect. With his black water body, Patriarch Poison Dragon reigned supreme in the Demon Realm. “Demon Monarch Coldmonon is the other person we’re sending in.” Imperial Lord Starquix pointed at the silver-robed woman. “There are three fifth Firmament demon monarchs that have a sixth-level Essence Soul. Demon Monarch Coldmoon is one of them. Furthermore, she has successfully transformed into a phantom lifeform and can travel through the shadow world. With a Tribulation treasure, she has the ability to act alone.”

When Lady Blackmoon heard that, she couldn’t help but say, “Although the two of them have quite powerful life-preservation means, their offensive means are rather weak.” “At the very least, they can deal with weaker Regis Godfiends,” said Imperial Lord Starquix with a smile. “Among Regis Godfiends, King Thousand Wood, King Gu Eyes, and the others aren’t that strong in a head-on battle. Patriarch Poison Dragon and the others can also create miracles if they are used well. In terms of offensive means, we have three other trump cards—Peacock, Strings, and the Eighteen Black River Guard.”

“The Eighteen Black River Guard was obtained by Brother Roc when he went to Black River Realm for negotiations. We then selected 18 demon monarchs to refine the Black River Life Caskets so as to form the Eighteen Black River Guard,” said Imperial Lord Starquix. “These 18 demon monarchs can form a 400-kilometer-wide Black River Array. Godfiends will probably be corroded and reduced to dust instantly if they enter. These 18 demon monarchs will be located at the Black River Array’s core… If the human Godfiends want to attack with an Essence Soul mystic technique, they will be too far away. They won’t be able to reach them.”

Essence Soul mystic techniques had limited range. For example, the Magic Awl could only be used within the caster’s Essence Soul domain. A sixth-level Essence Soul’s domain only had a range of 25 kilometers.

“I’ve long heard of the Eighteen Black River Guard’s fame. I naturally thought of a way to exchange for them,” said Emperor Roc with a smile. “Although the two Imperial Lords of Black River Realm are arrogant, they still kept my reputation in consideration.”

In the surrounding region, the three Imperial Lords of the Demon Realm were rather famous. Emperor Roc was even more famous than the other two.

“Eighteen Black River Guard, along with Strings and Peacock,” said Imperial Lord Starquix with a smile. “Demon Monarch Strings has improved in every aspect after obtaining the Nine Lives Cocoon. It can protect its Essence Soul. It’s the most well-rounded fifth Firmament demon monarch. It can roam freely in the World Gap.”

“As for Peacock… We’ve spent the most on Peacock all these years,” said Imperial Lord Starquix. “We’re about to see the results now.”

“Alright, we’ll use them,” said Lady Blackmoon with a smile.

Emperor Roc nodded as well. “With such strength, it’s enough to wipe the World Gap clean.”

“I’ll summon them,” said Imperial Lord Starquix.

Moments later

Figures rushed into the hall.

They were the black-veiled Holy Lady Strings, the black-robed, dragon-headed Patriarch Poison Dragon, Demon Monarch Coldmoonwho stood alone in the corner-and the Eighteen Black River Guard, whose bodies were covered in flowing runes.

After they arrived, Monarch Peacock slowly took his time to enter the hall.

Monarch Peacock’s long black hair flowed down to his waist. He was tall and muscular; his purple eyes were filled with a domineering aura. When he walked into the hall, he casually cupped his hands. “Greetings, Imperial Lords.”

Emperor Roc and company exchanged looks and felt helpless.

There was nothing they could say or do…

Monarch Peacock did not have more than 100 years to live. He wanted to break through to become a demon sage, but his age made it impossible. He wanted to extend his lifespan, but there were only two ways to do so in the Demon Realm. However, these two methods were unable to affect his Dark Peacock bloodline. Instead, the Dark Peacock bloodline devoured external powers.

As for independently figuring out the Yin-Yang Transformation’s profundities, thus, reversing his age? In terms of technique realm, he was inferior to Holy Lady Strings. Furthermore, he cultivated the Darkness lineage. Even if he reached the Heaven Earth realm, he wouldn’t be able to regain his youth. After all, this lineage didn’t allow one to reverse their age.

Thus, Monarch Peacock had no hope of extending his lifespan.

Because of this, Monarch Peacock lived each day like it was his last. It was natural for him to live without desires. He lived carefreely. Even the three Imperial Lords were rather tolerant of him. As long as Monarch Peacock obeyed their orders, the three Imperial Lords tolerated his actions.

“All of you are much stronger than before.” Imperial Lord Starquix smiled as he looked down and said, “You are now needed to fight. Go to the World Gap and kill all Godfiends you encounter.”

“Yes.” Monarch Peacock and company bowed.
