Chapter 158: Credit is Always Welcomed

“Uncle-Master Meng?” Yu Chiyan smiled as she looked at Meng Chuan. “I’m afraid Uncle-Master Meng wouldn’t even bother with us in the future when we want to meet him.”

“Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters, stop pulling my leg,” said Meng Chuan immediately.

After spending a year together, they had become friends with each other. They were very close to each other, so it was very normal for them to joke around.

“Alright, alright. It’s time to rest. Shi Xiu, Xingwu, help me sort out the demon monarch corpses,” instructed Zhang Yunhu.

Shi Xiu and Yang Xingwu both nodded. The three of them jumped down. Yang Xingwu’s domain was good at clearing demon monarch corpses. Shi Xiu’s Sanguine Divine Body was very sensitive to blood, and Zhang Yunhu was supervising them. After all, if these demon monarchs died, they might carry some treasures with them. These needed to be handed to Archean Mountain. Archean Mountain would estimate the credit they earned and then distribute it.

Meng Chuan, Liu Qiyue, Fan Cheng, Yu Chiyu, and Mu Qing returned to their residences with smiles on their faces. There were very few casualties this time because not many demons had managed to climb up the outer city wall. Only a few dozen deaths were incurred. Such losses on the battlefield were really small.

…

Yang Xingwu and Shi Xiu were clearing the corpses while Zhang Yunhu recorded their actions.

“What move did Junior Brother Meng use? How did he kill Demon Monarch Lion? Shi Xiu checked out the area where Demon Monarch Lion died and picked up the inner armor he wore. There was some dust on the inner armor. “There’s only weapons and armor left. Demon Monarch Lion’s body has completely vanished. There’s not even a speck left.”

“He can turn you into dust if he can turn Demon Monarch Lion to dust.” Yang Xingwu’s lips curled. “Clear the area quickly, and stop thinking about it.”

“He’s indeed impressive.” Shi Xiu shook his head and sighed in amazement. “That’s why he’s a Lightning Devastator Fiend Body genius that appears once every few centuries. We’re only ordinary Archean Mountain Godfiends. However, why is the difference between Godfiends so great? He’s more powerful than Old Zhang despite leaving the mountain for only a year. When can I catch up to Old Zhang?”

“You can compete with me when you reach the Realm of Dao,” said Zhang Yunhu.

“I’ve cultivated for so many years, but I’ve only attained Greater Mastery in the Realm of Soul. I’m still far from the peak. As for the Realm of Dao? I’m afraid that I won’t be able to reach it for the rest of my life.” Shi Xiu shook his head and sighed. He continued to clear the area. “Besides, cultivating the Sanguine Divine Body is quite painful. If I don’t break through, I’ll suffer less.”

Zhang Yunhu smiled. He knew that although Shi Xiu didn’t seem to care and often spent time in promiscuous places—where he indulged in alcohol and sex—he would cultivate arduously every once in a while. Cultivating the Sanguine Divine Body was hell. However, due to such torturous cultivation, Shi Xiu had the best willpower at North River Pass.

…

Back in their manor, Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue sat together, drinking tea and eating snacks.

“Ah Chuan, it looked really dangerous this time,” said Liu Qiyue worriedly. “I heard that Divine Power Demon Monarchs typically have very special bloodlines. They have great backgrounds in the Demon Realm.”

Meng Chuan nodded. “I read some books on the mountain. Demon sages’ children have extraordinary bloodlines. Most of them have divine powers when they are in the third Firmament. Demon Monarch Lion might be a demon sage’s son.”

“Will there be trouble then?” Liu Qiyue was worried. “Will that demon sage think of a way to avenge Demon Monarch Lion?”

“Haha, what’s there to be afraid of?” Meng Chuan laughed. “We are mortal enemies with demons. It’s extremely difficult for demons to enter the human world. The biggest World Entrance only allows entry to a fifth Firmament greater demon monarch. Even if a demon sage wishes to enter the human world, they won’t be able to do so.”

Demon sages were equivalent to human Creation Supremacies.

According to Meng Chuan, demon sages enjoyed extremely high status among the demons. As for how many there were? He still wasn’t privy to such information.

“There are a total of three super-large city passes in the human world. Luo Tang Pass is one of them. Furthermore, a Creation Supremacy is presiding over it. Fifth Firmament demon monarchs can’t enter the human world,” Meng Chuan consoled Liu Qiyue. “At least in the human world, we humans have the absolute advantage.”

“Yes.” Liu Qiyue nodded slightly. “Anyway, be careful.”

Meng Chuan felt Qiyue’s concern for him. “I’m faster than Marquis Godfiends even if I bring you with me,” said Meng Chuan. “What’s there to be afraid of? At most, we’ll flee!”

Liu Qiyue couldn’t help but laugh.

…

Archean Mountain specially sent people to deliver the demon monarchs’ corpses and their items to Archean Mountain.

Soon, the distribution of the credit for this battle was announced at North River Pass.

Meng Chuan earned a total of 833,000 credits! It was even higher than the previous battle because he had played a crucial role this time. He turned the table on the demons, reducing the casualty count, so he naturally gained lots of credit.

Killing Demon Monarch Lion only gave him 100,000 credits. Clearly, to the entire human race, a Divine Power Demon Monarch didn’t mean much. The five elite demon monarchs counted for 200,000 credits.

Demon Monarch Lion’s weapons and armor were considered his spoils of war. They amounted to 120,000 credits. The five elite demon monarchs’ weapons and armor were worth 50,000 credits. This made Meng Chuan believe that Demon Monarch Lion had a powerful background. Otherwise, the armor wouldn’t be worth so much. After humans obtained demon monarchs’ equipment, they would throw them into furnaces directly, and use the raw materials. The weapons and armor were useless to humans.

Firstly, the weapons and armors were only suitable for demons. Secondly, the armor and weapons were suitable for Demon Monarch Lion’s height. Human Godfiends were much smaller in build.

They could only smelt it for materials. Yet, this amounted to 120,000 credits. It was enough to leave Meng Chuan speechless.

After adding up all the credit, he received 833,000 credits—a shocking number. Including what he had earned from reinforcing three cities, and the battle at the beginning of the year, he had earned 2.18 million credits in a year!

His ability to earn credit was close to that of a Marquis Godfiend.

My body and baneful aura cultivation require a lot of credit. Cultivation in the Divine Power realm required massive amounts of energy. Once he mastered the Divine Power realm, his physical body would have the strength of a half-step Marquis Godfiend! He might even acquire divine powers. However, the energy provided by the Thousand Star Pills would be too little. He would require the Scarlet Blood Divine Pills. The Scarlet Divine Pills were used by Marquis Godfiends to restore their Quintessential Essence during fights! Typically, only Regis Godfiends would use Scarlet Blood Divine Pills for cultivation.

Each Scarlet Blood Divine Pill costs 10,000 credits. It could recover all the Quintessential Essence of a Marquis Godfiend in half a minute. Cultivating in the Divine Power realm would require one pill a day. An Undying expert could also use the Scarlet Blood Divine Pool for cultivation. They would probably require ten such pills a day.

Of course, he could slowly cultivate his body by absorbing the Heaven and Earth powers. However, it would take a long time.

The more I strengthen my baneful aura, the rarer the required baneful aura I need for cultivation. It’s not easy for Archean Mountain to obtain those. Meng Chuan understood this point. He had spent 380,000 credits for the Darknether baneful aura. He required the Quiescence Frost Baneful aura next. Typically, only Marquis Godfiends with Lightning Devastator Fiend Bodies were able to absorb it. However, Meng Chuan’s body was strong, so perhaps he could absorb it before reaching the Darkstar realm.

However, Archean Mountain had a limited amount of Quiescence Frost baneful aura. Meng Chuan needed 30 percent of Archean Mountain’s stockpile to be finished with it. That would cost him 8,000,000 credits.

After he fused the Quiescence Frost baneful aura with his baneful aura, his baneful aura would suppress Marquis Godfiends and decrease their strength significantly. He could freeze third Firmament demon monarchs to death easily once he had fused the two together.

I can first exchange for a calabash of Quiescence Frost baneful aura and give it a try. I might not be able to absorb it with my current body.
