Chapter 331 Marquis Yan Jin

9th January

A powerful aura erupted from the almost uninhabited Fluttering Snow Peak. In the cave abode’s chamber, Yan Jin opened his eyes. His eyes were filled with excitement. I’ve finally broken through! I have finally become a Marquis Godfiend! It’s all thanks to the ice lotus flower Meng Chuan gave me. Otherwise, I’ll be stuck at the bottleneck for countless years.

He had been cultivating arduously at Archean Mountain for many years. Previously, he had left the mountain to join a Godfiend team. He had experienced many life-and-death battles, and his insights were very deep. However, he had been stuck at the critical juncture. When he saw the ice lotus flower, he felt inspired. Following that, he broke through to the Realm of Dao in just three months. He finally saw hope that his cultivation would continue to rise.

After reaching the Realm of Dao, he had also cultivated a more profound sword art. Just a few days ago, he had also gained some insights into his sword art. As his emotions surged, he used his sword art to seek answers from his inner self. It allowed his soul to improve greatly and condense an Essence Soul.

In fact, he had been cultivating Archean Mountain’s Essence Soul mystic technique for many years. He used his body’s Quintessential Essence to nurture his soul. After all, he had a transcendent-grade Godfiend body. After many years of nurturing, his soul was only a little short of condensing the Essence Soul. Finally, he sought answers from his inner self with his sword art and formed an Essence Soul.

Yan Jin had finally become a Marquis Godfiend.

The situation off-mountain is dire. Archean Mountain has always been in desperate need of Marquis Godfiends. Yan Jin’s eyes were filled with anticipation. I just need to consolidate my strength, and I’ll be able to leave the mountain in a few months. I can also kill demon monarchs.

As he watched his elder brother, Xue Feng, and his good friend-Meng Chuan-fight the demons off-mountain, he also wanted to join them. However, he never received Archean Mountain’s permission.

13th April.

Liu Qiyue and Marchioness Plum Snow were stationed in Chu An City. As demons attacked cities almost every month, human Godfiends often swapped defense locations! This made the demons unable to figure out which Godfiends were guarding a city. Once the demons learned of the defense arrangements, they could deliver a targeted attack.

Swoosh.

One letter flew down from the sky towards Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue—who were both eating breakfast in the hall. Meng Chuan reached out and received the letter. He glanced at the avian demon monarch outside, which had quickly left.

“It’s You’er’s letter,” said Meng Chuan with a smile. When he opened the letter, his eyes lit

up.

“What does it say?” Liu Qiyue asked immediately.

“You’er attained Greater Mastery of the Azure Lotus Divine Body. She asked Yan Jin and read a lot of books. She felt that it would take at least five to six years to reach the perfected Azure Lotus Divine Body, and she doesn’t have certainty of success.” Meng Chuan handed the letter to Liu Qiyue. “She doesn’t want to waste time as a mortal and asks if she should directly become a Godfiend. What’s your take?”

“Greater Mastery of the Azure Lotus Divine Body?” Liu Qiyue nodded slightly. “You’er spent two years on the mountain to reach Greater Mastery. To reach perfection, it will indeed take a lot of time. In fact, she might not even be able to attain perfection. Instead of spending a lot of time on the Azure Lotus Divine Body, it’s better for her to become a Godfiend as soon as possible. After becoming a Godfiend, her powerful body and Quintessential Essence will strengthen her soul. Her cultivation will also be faster.”

“Yes.” Meng Chuan nodded. When he was young, he had condensed an Essence Soul. Due to his weak mortal body and weak Essence Soul, he couldn’t withstand accepting a fragment of the Lightning Devastator Saber legacy.

“Since You’er doesn’t wish to waste time, let her make a breakthrough,” said Meng Chuan. “It’s not good to force her if it’s against her will. She needs to make decisions regarding her cultivation matters according to her preferences.”

“Then, we’ll reply?” asked Liu Qiyue. “Are we in favor of her breaking through?”

“Yes.” Meng Chuan nodded.

A few days later.

Liu Qiyue and Marchioness Plum Snow strolled in the garden.

“Junior Sister Liu, your children have all become Godfiends. They also cultivate transcendent-grade Godfiend bodies. How impressive,” said Marchioness Plum Snow wistfully. “The bloodline of experts is indeed powerful. For example, a Regis Godfiend family clan will produce a group of Godfiends. The number of Godfiends produced by a Creation Supremacy family clan is even greater. There might even be Regis Godfiends among their descendants.”

The Wang family, the Xiao family, and the Yan family all had a bunch of Godfiends amongst their ranks. The imperial familythe Li family-weakened over the generations. Their weakening bloodline made it more difficult for them to produce Godfiends. However, they still had a Regis Godfiend, five Marquis Godfiends, and even more ordinary Godfiends. Two of Li Guan’s children had become Regis Godfiends back then. However, they had died long ago.

King Calm Sea’s newly risen Xue family also had outstanding children. King Calm Sea stood a chance of becoming a Creation Supremacy. Similarly, Xue Feng would soon become a Regis Godfiend.

One’s bloodline benefited their descendants. However, the juniors had to work hard. They even needed to surpass their predecessors.

The Meng family was an ordinary mortal family clan. The first Godfiend, Patriarch Yushan, appeared in the family 500 years ago from mortal roots. After a few hundred years, Fairy Meng appeared. She had also accumulated credits during many life-and-death battles on the battlefield before she became a Godfiend by chance. Meng Dajiang cultivated the Body Tempering Godfiend lineage. His cultivation path was extremely difficult.

At Meng Chuan’s generation, his father, Meng Dajiang, and his mother, Bai Nianyun, had high talent. However, under normal circumstances, it was already good enough for him to become a Marquis Godfiend. However, because he missed his mother, he cultivated crazily every day. Painting was his only form of enjoyment. He had been like this since he was young. In the end, he reached an unimaginable realm in painting. He sought answers from his inner self, and his Essence Soul improved rapidly. Due to his powerful Essence Soul, his cultivation speed was naturally much faster; thus, he easily became a Marquis Godfiend.

The risks he took and the credits he earned allowed him the rare chance to enter the World Gap. With his talent in painting, he managed to draw Fifteen Lightning Forms. He had a clear understanding of the essence of lightning. This metamorphosed his cultivation speed of the lightning lineage.

“Bloodline inheritance just gives an advantage at the starting point,” said Liu Qiyue with a smile. “What happens in the future will depend on the children themselves.”

“Yes. There are many cases with powerful parents, but much weaker children,” said Marchioness Plum Snow. “There are even some hedonistic children.”

Liu Qiyue was somewhat relieved. When the children were young, they had to protect their children due to Meng Chuan’s efficiency at demon-slaying. They disguised themselves as an ordinary family and raised their children with strict discipline. If they had known from a young age that they were children of Marquis Godfiends, Meng An and Meng You would probably have gone astray due to all sorts of flattery.

It’s said that King Calm Sea is very cold and heartless towards his children. They have suffered a lot. Could this have contributed to Xue Feng and Yan Jin’s rise as Marquis Godfiends? Liu Qiyue suddenly thought of this. The couple knew that Yan Jin and King Calm Sea were close to becoming enemies.

Huh? Liu Qiyue and Marchioness Plum Snow’s expressions suddenly changed. The two of them could sense demonic powers erupting in all directions.

1,200 demon monarchs? They are all at the third Firmament? Liu Qiyue and Marchioness Plum Snowfelt felt like something was amiss. After the demons’ first large-scale attack on the cities, they no longer sent second Firmament demon monarchs. Third Firmament demon monarchs were powerful and fast. They could only be killed by a Regis Godfiend’s Quintessential Essence threads. This forced humans to deploy those with the strength of a Regis Godfiend to defend the city.

“Meng Chuan isn’t here. What should we do?” asked Marchioness Plum Snow anxiously.In the past half a year, the demons attacked almost once a month!

Liu Qiyue and Marchioness Plum Snow had encountered two demon attacks on the cities. They were all night attacks! This time, it was a day attack. Meng Chuan was busy hunting for underground demon monarchs.

“Meng Chuan is 1,500 kilometers away. It will take him nearly 120 seconds to arrive. There’s no time.” Liu Qiyue flew up and swept her gaze across the city. A large group of third Firmament demon monarchs charged over from three kilometers away. As third Firmament demon monarchs, they could storm into the city in about 15 seconds.

“Our Quintessential Essence threads can’t kill these third Firmament demon monarchs from afar.” Marchioness Plum Snow flew up and looked around anxiously. “I’ve already requested help.”

“These demons are very shrewd and sly. They will flee after engaging in slaughter for 30 seconds. Requesting help is useless.” Liu Qiyue looked at everything calmly.

If over 1,000 third Firmament demon monarchs were allowed to engage in a wanton slaughter in the city, just how many mortals would be killed?

Boom!

The flames around Liu Qiyue’s body soared into the sky. Flames churned in all directions as a huge, flaming phoenix spread its wings and let out a phoenix shriek.
