Chapter 462

"The demon forces are concealing their presence and moving stealthily," True Martial King said. "If they want to hide, it will be very difficult for us to find them."

"There are nearly two hundred demon monarchs," Anhai King said indifferently. "Even if such a large number of demon monarchs simply attack together, their combined power would be terrifying. Not to mention they undoubtedly have coordinated formations that could suppress us in a direct confrontation. Yet, they are hiding... clearly to rendezvous with the Body-Possessing Demon Sage."

Meng Chuan and the others all nodded.

Yes.

Most of these nearly two hundred demon monarchs are at the peak of the fifth heaven, with some modified lifeforms having attained Creation-level combat power. Lords like Peacock Monarch and Silk Saint Master, for instance, possess peak Creation-level combat power. The combined might of so many demon monarchs acting in concert with formations would be unimaginably powerful.

"Our sole objective is to kill the Body-Possessing Demon Sage," True Martial King stated. "Finding a 'Body-Possessing Demon Sage' who can quickly breach two layers of the world membrane is not an easy task for the demon race either."

"After all these years of waiting, this is the battle we've been preparing for," Molten Fire King said with a fiery gaze.

"We must stop the demon race, even if it costs us our lives," Thousand Wood King declared.

Many of them had been dormant for years, nearing the end of their lifespans. For them, successfully thwarting the demon race would allow them to die with a smile, in peace.

"My junior brother Meng's speed is unmatched in the world," True Martial King said. "According to our original plan, we will all hide inside a Grotto-Heaven magical treasure, carried by Junior Brother Meng. The moment a Body-Possessing Demon Sage is detected attacking the world membrane... Junior Brother Meng will rush there at maximum speed."

"To stop the demon race, speed is paramount. Only by acting alone can King Dongning guarantee the fastest response."

"King Dongning, we're relying on you."

They all smiled at Meng Chuan, and Anhai King also looked at him with trust.

"I, Meng Chuan, will certainly not disappoint anyone," Meng Chuan said solemnly. All the other Marquis Godfiends hiding inside the Grotto-Heaven Pearl and entrusting themselves to Meng Chuan was the ultimate display of trust.

If Meng Chuan were a traitor and handed the Grotto-Heaven Pearl to the demon race, all the Marquis Godfiends would be annihilated.

They trusted Meng Chuan!

If Meng Chuan had been a traitor, millions of demon monarchs would have long since ravaged the human world, inflicting suffering a hundred or a thousand times worse.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..." The Godfiends were successively moved into the Grotto-Heaven Pearl.

"Junior Brother Meng, everything according to plan," True Martial King said, looking at Meng Chuan.

"Don't worry," Meng Chuan nodded, then also took True Martial King into the Grotto-Heaven Pearl.

As the current leader of Yuanchu Mountain, Meng Chuan was naturally aware of this final plan. Deploying the treasures accumulated by Yuanchu Mountain also required his consent.

"Go and guard the central area where the human world connects to the world gap."

Meng Chuan stepped onto his Bloodblade Disk, flashed into the deeper void, and swiftly rushed to his destination to wait.

The demon army had arrived, and the Body-Possessing Demon Sages could act at any moment; he had to be ready.

Two days later, in the human world.

Inside a small grotto-heaven.

"Drink."

Fire Dragon Demon Sage and Heavy Profound Demon Sage were drinking heartily.

"After finishing this last jar of wine, we will make our move," Fire Dragon Demon Sage said, setting down his cup and looking at his friend, Heavy Profound Demon Sage.

"It's time to act. We've delayed for so many years, cultivating to the absolute peak of the fifth heaven," Heavy Profound Demon Sage stated. "Moreover, we've obtained Tribulation Realm secret treasures. If we don't act soon, the Imperial Lords will be furious."

Fire Dragon Demon Sage nodded slightly, looking at his friend. He said solemnly, "The success of this operation is uncertain, Heavy Profound. I hope both of us succeed."

"Whether it's good fortune or calamity, neither of us has a retreat," Heavy Profound Demon Sage replied.

"We just have to fight," Fire Dragon Demon Sage said, flames burning in his eyes.

"Fight," Heavy Profound Demon Sage also grinned.

As members of the demon race, they had been accustomed to the law of the jungle and fighting desperately since birth.

"In five hours, we'll communicate via message," Fire Dragon Demon Sage said. Heavy Profound Demon Sage nodded slightly, and then both quietly departed, separating to head to their respective destinations.

Five hours later.

Fire Dragon Demon Sage and Heavy Profound Demon Sage were tens of thousands of miles apart, one in the East Sea and the other in the North Sea, both more than twenty thousand miles from the mainland.

"Life or death, fortune or calamity, it all comes down to now," Fire Dragon Demon Sage said, standing mid-air over the ocean, transmitting a message with a token in hand.

"It's about to begin," Heavy Profound Demon Sage said, standing on an ocean reef, also holding a token.

They connected with each other.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

After three consecutive attempts, following the third connection, both Heavy Profound Demon Sage and Fire Dragon Demon Sage had a look of desperate madness in their eyes as they simultaneously launched their attacks.

"Break!" Fire Dragon Demon Sage unleashed a punch. The fist, like a meteor, was incredibly heavy, and with a thunderous blow, it instantly distorted the world membrane.

"Open!" Heavy Profound Demon Sage, wielding a black longblade, furiously cleaved down. The heavens and earth seemed to split in two, and the world membrane twisted and trembled violently.

Boom! Boom!

Simultaneous attacks on the world membrane in both the East Sea and North Sea instantly alerted all Creation-level Venerables across the land.

"There's a Body-Possessing Demon Sage in the East Sea and another in the North Sea!"

Bai Yaoyue, the phantom of Meng Tiange, and the phantom of Mi Yu all watched the 'Heaven-Gazing Mirror', an Imperial Lord-level secret treasure. The mirror simultaneously displayed two scenes: one of the 'Fire Dragon Demon Sage', engulfed in flames, punching the world membrane, and another of Heavy Profound Demon Sage, gripping his blade with both hands, furiously cleaving the world membrane.

Xu Yingwu of Two World Island and the phantom of Zhang Chun watched the scrying secret treasure, their expressions also changing drastically. "Judging by their attacks, they can breach two layers of the world membrane in five or six moves, which is only about one breath of time. But they are tens of thousands of miles away from us; we can't possibly make it in time."

On an island in the North Sea with tens of thousands of inhabitants, Jing Fei, the leader of the Demon Extermination Alliance, sat cross-legged on the beach. Sensing the remote location, his expression also changed drastically. "Although I am in the North Sea, the attack point is eight thousand miles away. I simply cannot get there in time."

The nine Creation-level Venerables across the world found themselves unable to intervene in time against the sudden attack of two Body-Possessing Demon Sages.

Meanwhile, at Yuanchu Mountain.

Li Guan, the phantom of Qin Wu, and the phantom of Luo Tang all watched the sky. The void reflected the scenes from both the North Sea and East Sea, clearly showing Heavy Profound Demon Sage and Fire Dragon Demon Sage simultaneously attacking the world membrane.

"There are two Demon Sages: Heavy Profound Demon Sage and Fire Dragon Demon Sage," Li Guan, the phantom of Qin Wu, and the phantom of Luo Tang said, their expressions changing.

"We can only intercept one."

"Go!" Li Guan held a dark stone talisman and instantly activated it. The numerous runes within the talisman lit up, and spatial ripples enveloped Li Guan.

This dark stone talisman was a 'Void Teleportation Talisman', the last one remaining at Yuanchu Mountain. Its use required the consent of all current leaders. This time, Meng Chuan, Qin Wu, Luo Tang, and Li Guan had spared no expense, bringing forth Yuanchu Mountain's treasures solely to halt the demon race.

During Ancestor Cang Yuan's era, the human race had amassed a vast number of treasures.

However, over long ages, generations had consumed too much. Even with later generations raising the usage thresholds, many treasures were completely depleted, and some became one-of-a-kind artifacts. For instance, Meng Chuan's 'Body Protection Talisman' and Venerable Li Guan's 'Void Teleportation Talisman' were both unique remaining items. Of course, in terms of importance, the Void Teleportation Talisman surpassed the Body Protection Talisman.

"Whoosh."

After activating the Void Teleportation Talisman, spatial fluctuations enveloped Li Guan, and he instantly vanished.

Immediately afterward, in the East Sea, over thirty thousand miles away, Li Guan appeared out of thin air not far from Fire Dragon Demon Sage.
