Archean Eon Art

Chapter 446 Killing

The human Godfiends were too fast, so the demons couldn’t escape at all. They could only watch as the distance between them shortened.

15 kilometers, 10 kilometers, 5 kilometers…

“Attack.” King True Martial suddenly sent a voice transmission.

Boom!

All the Godfiends instantly attacked at the same time, unleashing pandemonium upon the battlefield. The fastest attack was none other than King Thousand Wood’s Magic Awl.

King Thousand Wood’s Essence Soul was at the sixth-level. He had used 30 percent of his Essence Soul’s Origins to refine his Magic Awl. It was a trump card for the human Godfiends.

There were many demon monarchs, but they had only sent a few demon monarchs because they were afraid of a sixth-level Essence Soul’s Magic Awl. After all, those with weaker Essence Souls would be sending themselves to their deaths if they were to come within 25 kilometers of King Thousand Wood.

Swoosh!

The black Magic Awl was invisible to the naked eye; it could only be clearly seen with one’s Essence Soul domain. The Magic Awl was extremely fast, and in an instant, it had already arrived in front of Holy Lady Strings. Although she had long prepared herself for this, she still felt a little flustered when facing this terrifying Magic Awl.

Boom!

Holy Lady Strings’s expression turned ferocious. She opened her mouth as though she was crying out in pain, but no sound came out of it. She clutched her head in pain. The midair Nine Lives Cocoon threads became sluggish as Holy Lady Strings slowly lost control over them.

Out of the Tribulation treasures that the three Imperial Lords had allowed her to choose from, she had chosen the Nine Lives Cocoon-which protected her Essence Soul the most. It could drastically weaken a Magic Awl’s strength. However, Holy Lady Strings still found the Nine Lives Cocoon’s protection insufficient. This was because her Essence Soul was still torn apart by the Magic Awl. It was too painful, and she felt despair.

She even felt like she was about to die.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A terrifying attack descended. The massive Fire Refinement Star Cauldron smashed down, and King True Martial’s gray fist projection-which could crush everything-appeared. However, all the attacks landed on a white cocoon. A white cocoon had completely enveloped Holy Lady Strings. This was the Nine Lives Cocoon itself! In its cocoon form, it completely protected one’s body. It was said to be virtually indestructible. Furthermore, it provided one with a very strong Essence Soul defense. Out of the three Tribulation treasures that she could’ve chosen from, the Nine Lives Cocoon was the strongest when it came to protecting one’s body and Essence Soul.

The Nine Lives Cocoon had played its role!

The human Godfiends failed to blast the white cocoon open with their attacks.

“Holy Lady Strings’s Essence Soul has a very strong defense. It should be a Tribulation treasure,” said King Thousand Wood via voice transmission. To participate in this battle in the World Gap, they naturally knew lots about their enemies! King Thousand Wood’s Magic Awl was his trump card. Unless the demons had an illusion expert, they would have to rely on Tribulation treasures to resist his Magic Awl’s attacks. This was also the reason why King Transcendence didn’t use his Magic Awl when he fought Demon Monarch Coldmoon.

Attacking a sixth-level Essence Soul with a fifth-level Essence Soul Magic Awl—which was refined 30% of one’s Essence Soul’s Origins? Under normal circumstances, they could heavily injure the opponent! There was even a chance of killing them.

However, since the other party had Tribulation treasures, King Transcendence didn’t dare attack. This was because there was a high chance that his Magic Awl would shatter while attacking the other party! Although the Magic Awl was extremely sharp, it was brittle. Once it was shattered, he would lose 30% of his Essence Soul Origins. He would be severely injured, and his strength would be greatly reduced

The other party would only be slightly injured and would still have more than half of their combat strength left. If he did lose 30% of his Essence Soul’s Origins, he would be defenseless as he experienced intense pain. It would just result in his death.

It was better for him to let King Thousand Wood deal with the experts with sixth-level Essence Souls!

Patriarch Poison Dragon naturally didn’t fear the attacks of the Godfiends. He transformed into nine black dragons and charged forward. However, he was unable to charge into the True Martial domain’s Yin-Yang Disc. As for Holy Lady Strings, she was enveloped within the white cocoon as she experienced immense pain.

Demon Monarch Coldmoon naturally hid in the shadow world.

Boom!

King True Martial’s punch failed to penetrate the white cocoon. He turned around and punched at the void again.

The void shattered as the mysterious shadow world was destroyed.

The fist projection tore through the shadow world and struck the fleeing Demon Monarch Coldmoon.

Bam!

Coldmoon’s body transformed into shadow fragments as she fled in panic.

Pfft.

At the same time the shadow world was destroyed, a black Magic Awl rushed towards Demon Monarch Coldmoon. When Demon Monarch Coldmoon used her shadow to take King True Martial’s strike in her stead, the black Magic Awl took the opportunity to burrow into her true body and strike her Essence Soul.

The Magic Awl forcefully tore apart Demon Monarch Coldmono’s Essence Soul.

Demon Monarch Coldmoon clutched her head in pain. Although her Tribulation treasure, Shadow Sword, could protect her Essence Soul, it had a much weaker defense than the Nine Lives Cocoon. She instantly lost consciousness from the pain.

Clang!

The blurry fist shadow struck her body.

After the fist shadow struck Coldmoon’s body, she completely disintegrated and died on the spot. Though she was pulverized, a few treasures remained intact. The dark short sword was the most eye-catching treasure.

Whoosh.

King True Martial waved his hand and grabbed all the treasures left behind by Coldmoon.

A Tribulation treasure. King True Martial was delighted as he looked at the dark short sword in his hand.

Meng Chuan, King Molten, and company were overjoyed by their gains. After all, Tribulation treasures were very precious.

In human history, only Ancestral Master Archean Eon had left behind plenty of Tribulation treasures. Therefore, Archean Mountain had the greatest quantity in this aspect. For example, Black Sand Grotto-Heaven and Eon Sea Sect only had a few Tribulation treasures. Black Sand Grotto-Heaven had only given one Tribulation treasure to their Godfiends—the Fire Refinement Star Cauldron! Two World Island didn’t even give a Tribulation treasure to their Godfiends because it was truly poor. Although Archean Mountain had a rich heritage, they only gave Meng Chuan and King True Martial a Tribulation treasure each. As for King Calm Sea, Peng Mu, and Yun Jianhai, they were given Imperial Lord-level treasures.

The demons were the most wealthy.

Of course, Tribulation treasures had differences. There were a few Tribulation treasures that were left behind by Seventh Tribulation Eminences inside of Ancestral Master Archean Eon’s collection. Fifth and Sixth Tribultaion Eminences left behind most of the remaining Tribulation treasures in Ancestral Master Archean Eon’s collection.

The demons were different. Third and Fourth Tribulation Eminences left behind most of the Tribulation treasures they had.

Although the Nine Lives Cocoon was a Tribulation treasure left by a Fifth Tribulation Eminence, the demons lacked the key rebirth technique—which was required if one wanted a new life after breaking free of the cocoon. That was why it had been one of the Tribulation treasures that Holy Lady Strings could choose from.

COon.

Of course,

Meng Chuan and company were only Regis Godfiends. Tribulation treasures forged by Sixth and Seventh Tribulation Eminences didn’t differ much from those refined by Third Tribulation Eminences because of their lacking cultivation realm and technique realm. The strength they could unleash with the Tribulation treasures wasn’t too great. Only when they reached a sufficiently high realm could a huge difference in strength manifest.

Tribulation treasure. The Godfiends were excited because they had killed a powerful demon monarch and obtained a Tribulation treasure.

Dead? Demon Monarch Coldmoon is dead? Patriarch Poison Dragon was somewhat shocked. With his Undying body, he wasn’t worried about his safety. He could tell at a glance who the key force was. He stared at the distant King True Martial. King True Martial can actually shatter the shadow world with a single punch? When it comes to the void, his technique realm is just too high.

King True Martial did, indeed, reach a very high realm.

Grandsire Yin Yang’s Yin-Yang Art was an Imperial Lord-level ultimate technique. However, King True Martial had created his own ultimate technique-True Martial Seven Absolutes—by basing it on the Yin-Yang Art’s foundation and improving it.

Although he was only at the late stages of the Grotto-Heaven realm, he had similar strength to an expert that had reached the perfected Grotto-Heaven realm with the Yin-Yang Art. Furthermore, his cultivation path was adept in aspects of the void. After Archean Mountain bestowed him a Tribulation treasure to strengthen him, it wasn’t difficult for him to shatter the shadow world with a single punch.

King True Martial was one of the core members of this mission.

The Magic Awl is even more terrifying than I imagined. Holy Lady Strings—who was inside the Nine Lives Cocoon-still felt her Essence Soul thrashing in pain. If I were to take a few more similar blows, my Essence Soul might completely shatter and die. However, it’s said that the Magic Awl is brittle. It shouldn’twon’t attack me continuously.

“Holy Lady Strings and Demon Monarch Coldmoon both have sixth-level Essence Souls. They are protected by Tribulation treasures. Holy Lady Strings has an even stronger Essence Soul defense,” said King Thousand Wood. “When attacking the two of them, a few cracks appeared on my Magic Awl. I’m not confident that I can kill Holy Lady Strings with just the Magic Awl.”

“There’s no need,” said King True Martial. “Your Magic Awl is our trump card. There aren’t many demon monarchs with sixth-level Essence Souls. In the future, you will be able to slaughter those with fifth-level Essence Souls easily. It’s better to use the Magic Awl at critical moments only.”

“As long as your Magic Awl doesn’t shatter, it will be a powerful deterrence,” said King Molten.King Thousand Wood nodded. He was also one of the core members of this mission.

Chi! Chi! Chi!

Holy Lady Strings continued hiding within the white cocoon. Suddenly, she began to release countless threads that spread around her.

“More demons are coming.” King True Martial suddenly looked into the distance.

Soon, Meng Chuan sensed it as well.

A terrifying aura erupted from afar. A tall, black-haired man stood in midair. His long hair reached his waist. His purple eyes looked into the distance.

From afar, Meng Chuan and the other Godfiends felt the area surrounding the black-haired man collapse. Behind the black-haired man were 18 guards.

“Monarch Peacock is here.” King True Martial, King Molten, and Meng Chuan’s fighting spirit rose. This was a battle between the humans’ and the demons’ strongest combat forces in the World Gap.
