Chapter 405 - Turning Point

Boom!

Demon Sage Nine Abyss fled at full speed, but Meng Chuan remained behind him. Bloodblades constantly attacked him.

I can only escape Meng Chuan if I go underground. Nine Abyss suddenly swooped down and burrowed into the ground. Swish! Swish! Swish!

The Bloodblades burrowed into the ground and circled Nine Abyss. After that, Meng Chuan quickly followed behind him.

Boom!

As soon as he entered the ground, Nine Abyss

—who was fleeing—turned around and delivered a punch!

The punch tore through the void and shot towards Meng Chuan.

Still on the Bloodblade Disc, Meng Chuan ducked slightly, allowing the punch to brush past him. The punch flew hundreds of feet away from Meng Chuan. “Nine Abyss, it’s currently impossible for your punches to touch me,” said Meng Chuan via voice transmission. With the help of his electromagnetic domain, he easily followed his target.

He’s too slippery. Nine Abyss was secretly vexed by the situation. His Essence Soul was too severely injured. He had lost 10% of his Essence Soul Origins—which translated into heavy injuries. His Essence Soul constantly twitched, making it impossible for him to execute any exquisite moves. As for his crude fist arts, how could they touch Meng Chuan? Even if Meng Chuan was forced into a corner, Meng Chuan could still affect the flow of time with his divine power—Flowing Sand. This made him even more slippery. Nine Abyss flew deep underground at high speeds. When he reached a depth of about 50 kilometers, his body suddenly split into ninewhich all fled in different directions. However, they were quickly intercepted by several Bloodblades! If I had a sixth-level Essence Soul, my Essence Soul avatars would be able to hold him back. My main body would be able to escape easily. Nine Abyss felt that Meng Chuan was too clingy. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t escape from Meng Chuan.

No, if I had a sixth-level Essence Soul, I could have withstood his Essence Soul mystic technique and killed him head-on.

Nine Abyss began to panic. He had already used seven different escape techniques, but the ten-plus Bloodblades shattered his hopes of escaping It won’t be long before an Archean Mountain Creation Supremacy arrives. If I can’t shake Meng Chuan off, I will definitely be caught by the Creation Supremacy. We lost. We lost terribly. Nine Abyss shook his head. The Imperial Lords will definitely be disappointed.

At that moment, he understood that he had lost. He was actually waiting for a Creation Supremacy to arrive.

Boom!

Nine Abyss burrowed 100 kilometers deep into the mantle. The Bloodblades continued to surround him.

Oh? Nine Abyss’s eyes lit up as he stopped and turned to look into the distance.

Nine Abyss stood there as the power of the Tribulation treasure-Eye of the Dark Realmerupted. A terrifying power swept across his surroundings. Nine Abyss pulverized the world membrane from where he stood. The aftershocks even spread out for several kilometers, reducing the molten rock and metal, within a few kilometers, to dust.

From afar, Meng Chuan appeared. The aftershocks swept past him, but it didn’t injure him at all. He remained deep in the void. With the Bloodblade Disc protecting him, his Blood Droplet realm body, and a slippery movement technique, even Nine Abyss was helpless against him.

“Supremacy Qin Wu.” Demon Sage Nine Abyss stared into the distance. Qin Wu had finally arrived. “Demon Sage Nine Abyss.” Qin Wu looked at Demon Sage Nine Abyss and the shattered world membrane next to him.

“I never expected that I wouldn’t be able to kill a Regis Godfiend, even with my full strength. This Meng Chuan has such a powerful Essence Soul mystic technique.” Nine Abyss sighed. The world membrane around him constantly shattered, maintaining the huge hole—which was dozens of feet wide. “However, in the end, you humans will definitely lose. I will watch from the Demon Realm.”

With that said, Nine Abyss turned around and crossed through the opening in the world membrane.

Humph. The sword on Qin Wu’s back suddenly slashed out. A terrifying sword beam cleaved the world membrane, tearing the hole wider by hundreds of feet as it pursued Nine Abyss.

The terrifying sword beam instantly appeared behind Nine Abyss, but the sword beam was immediately obliterated by the darkness. It completely dissipated as Nine Abyss remained unharmed.

“Demon Imperial Lord.” Through the world membrane opening, Qin Wu stared at the figure standing in the outer realm’s void.

Previously, this figure was hidden.

Since he had made a move, there was no need to hide. He revealed himself-a golden-robed, golden-haired figure that emitted a terrifying aura. The figure coldly glared at Qin Wu through the world membrane opening before his gaze swept past Meng Chuan.

A demon Imperial Lord. Meng Chuan felt his heart palpitate when the gaze swept past him. He knew that if they were in the same world, the demon Imperial Lord would probably be able to kill him with a single strike. “So it’s Emperor Roc,” said Qin Wu with a smile.

Meng Chuan also saw it.

Demon Sage Nine Abyss did it on purpose. Meng Chuan came to a realization at that moment. However, it’s also quite afraid of Master. It tore open the world membrane, meaning it could escape at any time. If it escaped and Master actually chased after him, he would be killed by Emperor Roc—who was hiding in the outer realm.

No matter how weak a demon Imperial Lord was, they had reached the Heaven Earth realm and had a seventh-level Essence Soul at the very least.

It was a complete suppression. If a Creation realm expert wanted to fight an Imperial Lord that was above their level? Well, human Creation Supremacies were presently far from being capable of such a thing.

“You human Godfiends don’t even dare to enter the outer realm,” said Emperor Roc coldly as he stood in the dark void. “Continue hiding. Let’s see how long you can hide.”

Following that, he left with Nine Abyss.

The world membrane regenerated and sealed the opening

“Trying to lure me out and ambush me?” Qin Wu shook his head. “Do you really think I’m stupid?”

“One of the three demon Imperial LordsEmperor Roc.” Meng Chuan stood by the side. This was the first time he had seen an Imperial Lord. He instinctively felt fear when he saw Emperor Roc.

“What’s there to be afraid of when we are separated by a world?” said Qin Wu with a smile. “Even a Tribulation Eminence can’t break through a world’s obstruction and enter another world, much less an Imperial Lord. This is a rule in the entire River of Spacetime. It serves as protection for a world’s weak living beings.”

Meng Chuan nodded.

Many worlds were still very weak. For example, in the earliest periods of the human world, one could only reach the Creation realm at the very most.

The weakest experts traveling through the River of Spacetime were at the Creation realm. If they were allowed to enter and leave worlds freely, these weaker worlds would’ve long been destroyed. Due to the River of Spacetime’s laws and the World Origins’ protection, countless civilizations were born in the River of Spacetime.

“However, it’s right.” Qin Wu sighed. “Ever since the war with the demons began, human Creation Supremacies no longer dare to enter the outer realm. Unless we have an avatar technique, we would be courting death if we roam the outer realm with our true bodies. If our true bodies are discovered by the demons…

“The Demon Realm has great influence over this region in the River of Spacetime. They have three Imperial Lords and a group of demon sages. They are ranked among the top five worlds in this region. Many weak worlds are willing to suck up to the Demon Realm. Our human world’s status is much worse.

“I’ve talked too much.” Qin Wu smiled at Meng Chuan. “What outer realm? The most important thing for us humans now is to win this war. Today, we won a great victory. Although we failed to kill Demon Sage Nine Abyss, it was forced to flee to the outer realm. It won’t be able to enter the human world again unless it possesses another weak demon.”

Meng Chuan nodded. “Without Nine Abyss, the demons’ strongest expert in the human world is gone.”

“It will probably take 100 more years for another true demon sage to appear in the human world,” said Qin Wu happily. “This is a turning point! It’s a turning point for the entire war. From now on, the million-strong demon army will no longer be of any use. They also no longer have a true demon sage in the human world! Hahaha… life will be much better in the future.”

“Yes.” Meng Chuan was also excited.

The strongest demon expert and the million-strong demon army was gone. That drastically reduced the demons’ threat towards humans.

“Let’s go.”

The master-disciple duo soared toward the sky, passing through layers of soil and rocks. Soon, they flew out of the ground and headed towards Jiang State Capital.
