Chapter 213: Demon Slayer’s Transformation

Swoosh! Swoosh!

Fu Jiao struggled to burrow deeper into the ground. He forged ahead while Meng Chuan easily followed behind. He knew it was impossible to escape. Furthermore, he could feel his prided body weakening.

The demons still don’t know the truth about Meng Chuan. His famous speed is secondary to his Essence Soul. His Essence Soul is what makes him so powerful. Fu Jiao felt depressed. I’m the only demon who has discovered this secret. Unfortunately, I’m about to die.

His body rapidly weakened; he found it increasingly difficult to block Meng Chuan’s saber moves.

Meng Chuan’s saber moved in an ethereal manner. The Soul-Vanquishing Spike heavily injured Fu Jiao’s Essence Soul continuously, making his perception of his surroundings very blurry. He found it difficult to see the saber beam clearly.

Boom!

With a terrifying penetrative force, the saber stabbed into Fu Jiao’s head from the side. Demon Slayer stabbed two feet deep into Fu Jiao’s head as the saber beam obliterated the insides of his head completely.

Fu Jiao felt his consciousness hum as his weak Essence Soul lost support from his physical body and dissipated.

I really got killed by a Great Solar Godfiend. Fu Jiao’s consciousness fell into darkness.

Deep underground, Meng Chuan heaved a sigh of relief after finally killing the 30-foot-tall Fu Jiao. It really isn’t easy killing a fourth Firmament demon monarch. Meng Chuan secretly sighed. From beginning to end, he had been using a forbidden Godfiend spell and had fused the Power of Essence Soul with his Quintessential Essence. He didn’t fuse the Power of Essence Soul with his body as well as his Quintessential Essence because his strength would only increase by 50% even if he did so.

He could only deliver ten strikes with maximum power, and Meng Chuan didn’t have the confidence to kill the tenacious Fu Jiao within ten strikes. Thus, he fused the Power of Essence Soul with only his Quintessential Essence, allowing him to execute up to 80 attacks!

Even if he hadn’t killed his opponent in 80 moves, he believed that a powerful Godfien would’ve arrived by then. In the end, he used up almost half of his Power of Essence Souls reserves before killing Fu Jiao.

Chi! Chi! Chi!

Lifeblood gushed out from Fu Jiao’s corpse as it surged towards Demon Slayer. Demon Slayer devoured the blood greedily.

Oh? Meng Chuan was astonished by how long it was taking Demon Slayer to devour Fu Jiao’s body. It hadn’t taken Demon Slayer very long to absorb Blackwater Palace Lord and several other demon monarchs with divine powers, so why did it take so long this time?

It took Demon Slayer nearly ten times longer to devour Fu Jiao than Blackwater Palace Lord. After Demon Slayer devoured Fu Jiao’s body completely, the corpse turned to dust. Even Fu Jiao’s scales and bones were reduced to dust. Only Fu Jiao’s single horn remained intact together with the black spear and several other objects.

Demon Slayer had been starving for many years. This time, it had finally eaten its fill. The saber glowed purple as it emitted an oppressive aura.

The might of Demon Slayer seems to be much greater? Meng Chuan could sense the changes in Demon Slayer. According to Archean Mountain’s records, the saber is an evil divine armament. However, it has weakened after extended periods of not absorbing lifeblood. Demon Slayer’s strength will recover when it absorbs enough lifeblood and sin.

Since his Essence Soul reached the third level, Meng Chuan was confident that he could control the evil weapon.

In fact, Demon Slayer would become uncontrollable for even Marquis Godfiends if the divine armament absorbed too much lifeblood and sin. However, Meng Chuan’s Essence Soul was very strong, so the demonic, evil Demon Slayer couldn’t budge him.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Meng Chuan casually swung his saber. He felt as though the saber could even slice through the void—it was sharper and had higher destructive capabilities.

If I were to deal with Fu Jiao now, I wouldn’t need so many attacks. Meng Chuan was secretly delighted.

Fu Jiao’s lifeblood was very potent. Fu Jiao’s body was considered strong amongst his peers. As for Blackwater Palace Lord’s lifeblood? It was far inferior in comparison. Blackwater Palace Lord’s lifeblood was 10% as potent as Fu Jiao’s lifeblood. It was only thanks to his Greater Mastery of the Realm of Dao that he had the strength of a Marquis Godfiend. Blackwater Palace Lord’s body was ordinary.

The Skydemon cultivation system is indeed much weaker than the human Godfiend cultivation system and the demon monarch cultivation system. Meng Chuan immediately packed up the items left behind by Fu Jiao and quickly discovered a cloth sack. These artifacts…

Meng Chuan quickly checked the insides of the cloth sack and realized that it had an inner space about the size of a house. What a huge space. It’s twice the size of the one I gave Qiyue.

The sack had many items inside.

Unbeknownst to Meng Chuan, many third Firmament demon monarchs in the Demon Realm could reach the fourth Firmament any time they wanted. However, not many were willing to go to the human world and hide in fear all day. Therefore, the demons’ upper echelons used treasures to tempt these demon monarchs into entering the human world. This attracted nearly 40 such demon monarchs to enter the human world. However, the moment they entered the human world, Godfiends immediately attacked them. Only 27 of these demon monarchs infiltrated the human world successfully.

Fu Jiao was one of those 27 demons. With the treasures given by the demons, his wealth was far beyond what Demon Monarch White Fox could compare with.

This spear has become smaller? Meng Chuan realized that the black spear—that had originally been 50 feet long—was now only 10 feet long. He picked it up and threw it into the sack. The other items—including Fu Jiao’s horn—were also placed inside the sack.

He would examine the items in the sack after he returned home. He currently had to rendezvous with Liu Qiyue.

As he tied the cloth sack to his waist, Quintessential Essence threads immediately flew out from around him. They quickly separated the soil as he flew up. Although he was not as skilled as those who were skilled in traveling through the earth, he quickly reached the surface.

“Qiyue.” Meng Chuan raised his head and saw his wife—who was still afloat due to the flame wings behind her. He waved his hand and said, “Come here.”

Ah Chuan. Liu Qiyue immediately dived down.

“How did your pursuit of that greater demon monarch go?” asked Liu Qiyue immediately as she looked at Meng Chuan’s empty hand.

“I killed him,” said Meng Chuan.

“Killed?” Although Liu Qiyue had some guesses, his words still stirred up endless waves in her heart.

Meng Chuan took out the cloth sack and said, “This is also a storage bag. It can hold slightly more than yours. The spoils of war are also inside.”

“It has been less than ten years since you left the mountain, yet you can kill a fourth Firmament demon monarch in a one-on-one battle now.” Liu Qiyue gently stroked her baby bump. “Isn’t your father amazing? He killed a fourth Firmament demon monarch at the Great Solar realm.”

Meng Chuan also laughed happily. Meng Chuan had vowed to become even stronger ever since his wife had become pregnant. He wanted to protect his wife and children in this chaotic world.

Although Meng Chuan had killed a fourth Firmament demon monarch, he didn’t let it get to his head. He knew that most of the fourth Firmament demon monarchs had only broken through after entering the human world. They were mostly new-ly advanced fourth Firmament demon monarchs.

…

Swoosh.

A black beam of light appeared above Peace County City. Inside the light was none other than King Luyue—who had rushed over from Luo Tang Pass at full speed.

King Luyue looked down. The battle had affected the entire county city; one could see many ruined places. After all, this city had been host to battles between demon monarchs and Godfiends. The intense battle between Meng Chuan and Greater Demon Monarch Fu Jiao left ruins in their wake. Wherever Fu Jiao had passed, one could only see destruction. Even the city walls had huge holes.

Where are they? Where’s Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue? King Luyue panicked. Am I too late? He immediately flipped his hand and took out his Patroller token. With the help of the token, he located Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue.

Thankfully, they are still alive. King Luyue felt relieved. With a thought, black ripples spread out in all directions. In the blink of an eye, they traveled 50 kilometers. These black ripples naturally reached Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue—who were both 15 kilometers away.

“There.” King Luyue instantly vanished in midair.

…

When Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue sensed the black ripples, they revealed smiles because they could sense the Godfiend Quintessential Essence within the black ripples.

Whoosh. King Luyue landed on the ground in front of Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue.

“Greetings, Uncle-Master.” Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue bowed respectfully.

“Mmm.” The black-haired elder smiled and nodded, but his gaze towards Meng Chuan changed. He couldn’t help but ask, “Did you kill that fourth Firmament demon monarch?”

Meng Chuan was surprised that his Uncle-Master knew at a glance. He nodded. “Yes, I got lucky and killed him.”

“How is that possible? How old are you?” The black-haired elder found it unbelievable. He immediately said, “You have to keep this matter a secret. Without Archean Mountain’s permission, the two of you are definitely not to spread this news.”

“Yes.” Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue nodded.

“How did you kill him?” asked the black-haired elder. He was a Regis Godfiend and had an Seamless domain. He could discover many things that other people couldn’t discover. However, he was still shocked that a Great Solar Godfiend—who was in his thirties—could kill a fourth Firmament demon monarch.
