Chapter 66: The Sword of King Calm Sea

Yan Jin’s speed was far inferior to Meng Chuan’s, so he naturally couldn’t compare to Demon Monarch Poison Pool.

The black fog quickly closed in.

I won’t be able to escape. Jue Yan had many thoughts in an instant.

His dead mother…

His cold father…

The grievances and indignation in his heart that had tormented him all these years.

Whoosh. The thick black fog spread out, drowning Yan Jin.

So be it! Yan Jin closed his eyes, calmly accepting death.

…

Human genius? Hahaha, I can easily crush you to death. Poison Pool happily flew forward, just like how he had after killing those human experts along the way. He believed that human genius would also be wiped out in the same way.

But suddenly—

Boom!

A mysterious power appeared where the black fog had enveloped Yan Jin. It spread out in every direction as the black fog rapidly disintegrated, causing the surrounding area to regain its natural clarity.

That’s… Poison Pool looked at Yan Jin in horror.

He saw an illusory gray sword appear above Yan Jin’s head—who had his eyes closed. The gray sword hovered there, an invisible ripple sweeping through the entire area. When it struck Poison Pool, he couldn’t help but kneel. He felt his head spin, and he immediately fell to his knees with a thud. He propped himself up with his arms and looked up with great difficulty. His eyes were filled with terror. A sword mark? This mortal has a sword mark sealed in his body?

There were only a handful of G.o.dfiends who could accomplish this. Only terrifying existences who were adept with swords could do so.

A blurry figure appeared beside the illusory gray sword. It was a cold-looking, brawny man. His gaze swept across the surroundings coldly.

“Eastcalm Prefecture?” The cold-looking man turned to look at Yan Jin before looking at the kneeling Poisonous Pool.

“Humph.” He snorted coldly.

The air fluctuations suddenly increased.

Boom!

“You are…” Before Poison Pool could finish his sentence, terrifying waves overwhelmed him. Poison Pool’s entire body was reduced to dust before it disappeared with the wind.

“The demons are invading Eastcalm Prefecture?” The cold-looking man gazed at Jadesun Palace. He shouted softly, “Go!”

The gray sword instantly streaked across the sky, crossing four kilometers before arriving at Jadesun Palace.

…

The destroyed Jadesun Palace.

Yun Wanhai was heavily injured. Fairy Meng’s face was as pale as paper. Her fingers tightened around her walking stick as she tried her best to use her domain to help Jadesun Palace Lord. However, her domain was beginning to tremble unstably.

Block them, block them. Jadesun Palace Lord desperately held back the three demon monarchs.

He wanted to stall for more time.

He was unwilling to admit defeat.

“Fairy Meng is beginning to lose control over her domain. She can’t take it anymore. Kill her, then kill Jadesun Palace Lord, then we will finally flatten Eastcalm Prefecture,” said Whitesink in delight.

“Haha, Fairy Meng is finally unable to hold on.” The black-furred ape loudly laughed as he transformed into a black beam of light. He tried his best to avoid Jadesun Palace Lord, hoping to deal Fairy Meng a fatal blow.

Right at this moment—Whitesink, Domineering Roar, and Ape looked up at the same time.

An illusory gray sword shadow flew over from the horizon, arriving at Jadesun Palace in the blink of an eye.

“No!!!” Whitesink revealed a look of horror and despair as he frantically fled into the distance.

He had only taken a few steps when the gray sword shadow stabbed downwards. Whitesink angrily roared as he used both his claws to block with all his might. At the instant the sword struck his claws, the Heaven and Earth powers condensed into sword beams. Instantly, thousands of sword beams cleaved down frenziedly. Whitesink raised his head and looked at the thousands of sword beams that blinded him. His eyes were filled with despair as he roared angrily, “It’s King Calm Sea’s Heavenly Tribulation Sword! Why is King Calm Sea here?”

Following that, countless sword flashes struck him, tearing apart his extremely tough body.

Third Firmament Demon Monarch Whitesink was dead!

“It’s King Calm Sea’s Heavenly Tribulation Sword!” Domineering Roar was also stunned.

“Isn’t King Calm Sea constantly presiding over Calm Sea Pa.s.s?” Ape found it unbelievable. However, the remote strike had frightened them completely. Ape and Domineering Roar immediately fled in a panic.

King Calm Sea’s Heavenly Tribulation Sword? Lord Jadesun revealed an expression of disbelief.

His Highness is here? Fairy Meng—who was an old subordinate of King Calm Sea—was somewhat excited.

“Don’t even think about escaping!” Although Jadesun Palace Lord was pleasantly surprised, he still rapidly pursued Domineering Roar and Ape.

…

Yan Jin had thought he would die, but he faintly sensed a special power instead of his impending death.

Dazedly, he opened his eyes, only to see Poison Pool reduced to powder by the terrifying energy fluctuations. He then saw the cold-looking man making the gray sword projection pierce through the sky and head straight for Jadesun Palace.

“When you were born, I sealed a sword mark on you,” said the phantom calmly. “All of your siblings have one too. That is the only sword mark. I will not give you a second chance. In the future, you will have to take responsibility for your future path. If you die in battle, you have nothing to blame but your own incompetence.”

With that said, the phantom dissipated.

Yan Jin stared blankly. Lowering his head slightly, he whispered, “You know, this is the first time I’ve heard your voice in ten years. I almost forgot that I had a father.”

“Do you think I would be grateful to you? Hahaha…”

Yan Jin—who usually spoke little—laughed maniacally.

…

Domineering Roar had immense strength, but he was too ma.s.sive. He was unable to shake off Jadesun Palace Lord.

In a one-against-two battle, Jadesun Palace Lord took just eight strikes to blast through Domineering Roar’s protective barrier, forming a huge hole in his chest and shattering his heart. Following that, he kicked Domineering Roar’s head, causing his ma.s.sive body to collapse. He did not get up again.

That Demon Monarch Ape sure is fast. Jadesun Palace Lord chased after Demon Monarch Ape. However, the black-furred ape had transformed into a black beam of lift and had even used a forbidden spell to escape. He fled so quickly that Jadesun Palace Lord couldn’t catch up to him.

Ape was extremely fast. He had fled in such a panic, not because he was afraid of Jadesun Palace Lord; he was confident that he could shake off Jadesun Palace Lord. No, he was afraid of King Calm Sea.

What kind of existence was King Calm Sea?

As long as he was inside Eastcalm Prefecture, he could kill a second Firmament demon monarch remotely.

King Calm Sea is stationed at Calm Sea Pa.s.s. Why would he be in Eastcalm Prefecture? Ape fled towards the World Entrance.

He took out a beast horn and blew it.

Woo—

The low horn—that was filled with demonic energy—spread out in all directions and could be heard throughout the entire Eastcalm City.

After sounding the beast horn, Ape charged into the World Entrance and returned to Nine Convocation fief.

I actually came back alive. The pole-wielding, black-furred ape looked at the distorted World Entrance with lingering fear. He felt lucky.

Meanwhile, the demons that were scattered all over the city heard the horn.

“Retreat?”

“The demon monarchs gave the order to retreat?”

Although puzzled, the other demons still quickly retreated.

Jadesun Palace Lord—who had failed to catch up with Demon Monarch Ape—shot to the top of a large tree. He stood on the tree crown steadily and saw many demons rus.h.i.+ng towards the World Entrance. This made Jadesun Palace Lord heave a sigh of relief. The demons have retreated. The invasion has finally ended.
