Chapter 355: Time-Space Territory Map

Among the vast mountains, a cave was carved into a mountain wall.

A disheveled middle-aged man sat cross-legged inside. A long spear rested beside him, leaning against the rock wall. After a long period of meditation with his eyes closed, he opened them, stood up, walked to the cave entrance, and gazed in all directions.

His name was Mao Feng, a Great Sun Godfiend from Yuanchu Mountain. He was responsible for patrolling the surrounding two to three hundred li. He also had two demon servant companions.

"It seems quiet today," Mao Feng muttered. He carefully took a sip of wine from a gourd at his waist, then reluctantly stoppered it again. "Only a little less than half a gourd is left of the three gourds of wine I brought out. I need to ration it. It will be another half-month until the young brothers from Earthnet deliver supplies."

"Hmm?"

Mao Feng suddenly felt a sensation and took out a token from his pouch. A light spot on the token lit up.

"There's a demon king," Mao Feng declared. He turned, grabbed his long spear, ignored his belongings in the cave, and leaped from the mountain wall. He descended from a height of half a li, then rapidly ran through the forest.

Elsewhere, a monkey demon servant clad in armor also took out a token, glanced at it, and hurried to the location.

Whoosh. A green-feathered flying beast spread its wings and flew towards the target as well.

Each patrolling region is overseen by one patrolling Godfiend and two demon servants. They support each other to reduce casualties.

A short while later, an elephant demon king's corpse lay there, its head pierced by a bloody hole. Mao Feng plopped down on the massive body, gleefully picked up his gourd, and took another sip of wine. He looked at the flying demon king, who had transformed into a green-clad woman, and chuckled, "My dear Qing, you are truly afraid of death. You found this elephant demon king in advance, but you didn't dare to act."

The green-clad demoness snorted. "This is a Triple Heaven elephant demon, and they are incredibly powerful with thick hides. As an ordinary Triple Heaven flying beast, if I had fought it head-on, I would have been torn to shreds. I circled high above, deliberately luring its attention away, which prevented it from killing many people. Without me, dozens more would have died."

"Qing, your mouth is sharp, but when it comes to fighting, it's still up to me and Mao Sanqiang," the monkey demon servant nearby chuckled. "It's a good thing we arrived quickly this time. If it had continued its rampage and stormed into the valley where hundreds of people were gathered, very few would have survived. Mao Sanqiang, your spear technique is getting more formidable."

Mao Feng smiled. His patrolling life had forced him into desperate battles time and again, and his spear technique had indeed improved.

"Alright, let's disperse and continue patrolling," Mao Feng said.

"Disperse!" Both the green-clad demon servant and the monkey demon servant nodded.

Only by spreading out could they more quickly find demon kings.

Just as they had dispersed and were heading in different directions, ripples appeared in the nearby void, and a grey shadow suddenly pounced on Mao Feng.

"Not good," Mao Feng thought. He instinctively swept his spear, stirring up endless fierce winds. A large number of wind blades whistled and swept through the area. With a loud bang and a violent collision, Mao Feng felt a powerful and deep force transfer through the spear. Blood rushed to his mouth, and his body was involuntarily sent flying backward. His palms were numb, and the web between his thumb and index finger split open, staining the spear shaft with blood.

"The disparity is too great, I need backup," Mao Feng realized, understanding the immense difference in power. "It seems to have the strength of a threshold Fourth Heaven demon king."

"Mao Sanqiang!" The monkey demon servant saw this and anxiously rushed over. The green-feathered flying beast high in the sky also immediately spread its wings and returned.

The blurry grey shadow instantly closed in, and a phantom image struck at Mao Feng.

"Buzz."

A red light emerged from Mao Feng's body. He unleashed a Godfiend forbidden technique, fighting for his life with his spear. Simultaneously, he transmitted a furious shout: "This demon king's strength is several times mine! You coming here is just asking for death. Get out quickly!"

Bang. The long spear was easily parried.

A claw shadow heavily struck the red light on Mao Feng's body, which pulsed and trembled as it resisted.

"A protective treasure? How long can it last? Three breaths, or five breaths?" a hoarse voice rang in Mao Feng's ear. The grey shadow rapidly and continuously attacked, repeatedly shattering Mao Feng's spear technique. Although he possessed the strength of a peak Great Sun Godfiend, he felt despair against a Triple Heaven demon king whose strength was comparable to a Marquis Godfiend.

"Bang, bang, bang."

Mao Feng desperately wielded his spear, and even as he was repeatedly defeated, he still wanted to buy time.

The red light on his body grew thinner and thinner.

"Whoosh."

A beam of light flashed from the distant horizon.

It was like the light of the sun.

With a flash, it had already pierced through the grey shadow's head. The grey shadow trembled and stopped, revealing its form: a grey-furred leopard demon king with a face full of fur. Its eyes still held fierce brutality, but its body then dissolved with a whoosh, turning into dust and dissipating into the world.

Mao Feng stared blankly at the scene.

"These demon king's belongings are yours," a voice sounded in his ear. Mao Feng immediately turned his head and looked into the distance. A figure stood in mid-air far away, nodded slightly at him, and then vanished.

"A rescue Godfiend!" Mao Feng was overjoyed. He bowed respectfully and called out loudly, "Thank you, Senior!"

"That fast? It's only been two breaths, and a rescue Godfiend is already here?" the flying demon king exclaimed, utterly astonished as she descended from high in the sky.

"Perhaps they were just passing by," Mao Feng said with a smile, looking at the ground where the leopard demon king's body was gone, but its artifacts remained intact. "The senior pitied me and gave me all of this Triple Heaven demon king's belongings."

Mao Feng immediately began to happily inspect them.

"A storage bag?" Mao Feng's face lit up with joy. "This is great! Now I can carry more wine with me."

"Cough." In his excitement, Mao Feng couldn't help but cough up blood.

"You were almost killed just now," the green-feathered flying beast said hurriedly. "Let me take you back to the city to heal first."

Meng Chuan's rescue was indeed swift.

Although he was nearly a thousand li away, he reached within a hundred li in two breaths by controlling his Bloodblade Disc. To prevent any accidents, he directly released a bloodblade that broke through the air, killing the leopard demon king. Meng Chuan wasn't confident he could kill that rather formidable leopard demon king with a true essence thread over a hundred li.

Destroying the demon king's corpse was also to destroy evidence. The wounds from the bloodblade would still attract attention from those with discerning eyes, so destroying it was naturally best.

"Patrolling Godfiends, enduring hardships, hunt every demon king, yet demon kings are also very cunning and can even ambush Godfiends," Meng Chuan sighed inwardly. This world needs patrolling Godfiends because many demon kings are hunting in various places. He, Meng Chuan, cannot be everywhere at once and can only rely on a large number of patrolling Godfiends to hunt them down.

In reality, Second Heaven demon kings and most Triple Heaven demon kings can be dealt with by a patrolling Godfiend and two demon king subordinates.

Only when some powerful demon kings occasionally appear is rescue needed.

Many times, rescue comes too late. This time, Mao Feng would have died in just five breaths. Although Yuanchu Mountain provides every patrolling Godfiend with life-saving items, with so many Godfiends, Yuanchu Mountain cannot afford to provide the best for everyone.

Nowadays, Meng Chuan's speed is incredibly fast.

Within five thousand li, almost all rescues are assigned to Meng Chuan.

In a small grotto-heaven beneath the sea, Nine Abyss Demon Saint and four others were gathered. Two additional figures joined them: the newly possessed Chongxuan Demon Saint and Fire Dragon Demon Saint, who had recently infiltrated the human world. Of course, these two were currently only Fourth Heaven demon kings.

"Chongxuan, Fire Dragon, you two are here too," Huang Yao said with a smile.

"We've been here for over half a year," Fire Dragon Demon Saint chuckled. "You've been traveling around, searching for connection points in the world membrane. You only returned now that Nine Abyss summoned you."

"More and more Demon Saints are coming to the human world," Ancestor Huang Yao chuckled softly. "Each of them is confident about winning the war."

"As long as we win the war, those of us who came to the human world will at least receive a 'Spatial-Temporal Domain Map'," Chongxuan Demon Saint said. "The River of Spacetime is vast and boundless. If we enter blindly, we might get lost, wander into dangerous territories, or even offend powerful beings. The Spatial-Temporal Domain Map has always been controlled by the Imperial Lords."

"Indeed," the four Demon Saints present all nodded.

They also wanted to venture into the River of Spacetime, but going in blindly carried an extremely high chance of death.

With a Spatial-Temporal Domain Map, it would be much safer.
