343 – The Democalypse Breaks Out

After Yang Feng stepped into the banquet hall along with Esramia and Glicedar, it gave rise to looks of jealousy and envy. More than 90% of men were attracted to the two women, not paying Yang Feng any attention.

Kisad glanced at Yang Feng and frowned, saying: “Who is he?”

Tissini’s eyes shone brightly, and she uttered with a sweet smile: “He is Duke Ian of the Morrince Empire!”

A grave look in his eyes, Guedes spoke in a solemn voice: “Duke Ian of the Red Earth Wasteland? That’s a fierce character! It is said that his cultivation base is merely at the Archwizard rank. Nevertheless, many Legend rank experts met their doom at his hands, and even Great Prince André of the Morrince Empire lost to him.”

The Morrince Empire’s Great Prince André was one of the marshals of the Morrince Empire most feared by foreign states. Under his command, the southern army of the Morrince Empire had more wins than losses, badly beating the Desert Empire, which suffering heavy casualties. The Desert Empire, however, beat up the lesser states like the Meheecan Principality, forcing them to pay tribute for years.

Kisad was originally a commoner, but after he stood out during a fierce battle against the Desert Empire, he was nurtured by the church, and speedily climbed up to the aristocratic stratum.

Kisad stared at Yang Feng with a look of graveness in his eyes: “That's right! Although this fellow is a little weak, but he’s indeed a fierce character!”

The aristocrats in the banquet whispered among themselves, discussing Yang Feng’s past deeds.

After hearing of Yang Feng’s deeds, the aristocrats who coveted Esramia and Glicedar no longer harbored any ill will.

If Yang Feng was a commoner, these aristocrats would definitely to set him up. But Yang Feng was a hereditary peer duke of the Morrince Empire with a population 10 million people under him, which included numerous experts and powerhouses. He wasn’t someone these aristocrats could contend with.

“His Majesty Archduke!” A majestic, white-haired old man escorted by a dozen guards slowly stepped into the reception hall.

As soon as the old man entered the reception hall, he started walking over to Yang Feng and beckoned Tissini.

Tissini gave Kisad an apologetic look and immediately walked towards the old man, a fragrance wafting from her.

Kisad’s face fell when he saw this. A glint of humiliation flashed past the abyss of his eyes, and he balled up his fists, veins bulging.

Guedes grabbed Kisad by the arm and uttered solemnly: “Kisad, don’t be impulsive. There’s nothing you can do. You must believe in Her Highness Princess Tissini.”

Kisad responded with a somber expression: “I know!”

The old man came to Yang Feng leading Tissini by the hand and smiled gently at him, saying: “Duke Ian, I am Papilion, the archduke of the Meheecan Principality. Nice to meet you.”

Yang Feng performed a common aristocratic salute courteously and said in a neutral tone: “Hello, I am Ian. Nice to meet you.”

Archduke Papilion went on to say with a meaningful smile: “Duke Ian, coming all the way here must have been really taxing. Let me introduce you my most precious daughter, the Meheecan Principality’s most beautiful jewel – Tissini. You both are young, have a good chat.”

Tissini made a courtesy. A fascinating smile, a pair of limpid eyes like water, she looked indescribably charming: “Hello, Duke Ian, I am Tissini.”

Yang Feng responded with a polite smile: “Hello!”

Tissini looked at Yang Feng with an expectant look in her pretty eyes, and asked akin a curious girl: “Duke Ian, I’m very interested in the Miracle City you built in the Red Earth Wasteland. Could you tell me how you managed to build a city there? The Red Earth Wasteland is said to be a place without a drop of water, from where many legendary heroes returned with the tail between their legs. For you to be able to built a city in such an inhospitable environment, that’s really amazing!”

Yang Feng smiled and chatted with Tissini, trying to pry out of her the state of affairs in recent months.

Through chatting with Tissini, Yang Feng learned that the situation on the mainland had changed in the second month of his cultivation in the palace of Taboo Lord.

The abyssal fiends launched an invasion of the Feisuo Plane. They gushed out of planar cracks in the underground world, poured into the surface world in one breath, and unleashed maddened attacks against the two major human empires, the Morrince Empire and Titan Empire.

As for the beastman empire and elven empire, the two major empires very strangely didn’t suffer any attacks from the abyssal fiends.

In the Feisuo Plane’s history, whenever abyssal fiends gushed out of the Abyss linking the 36 primary material planes, they unleashed carnage everywhere and harvested all the souls they could. This was known as the democalypse by the many races of the Feisuo Plane.

Yang Feng learned from the information available in the Demonic Fighting Sect that the so-called democalypse was an offensive launched by the powerful beings of the Abyss in order to get fresh souls and stronger subordinates.

On the 36 primary material planes, once intelligent life forms died, their souls would have two destinations: one was the Netherworld, the other was the divine kingdoms of gods.

Souls were extremely precious commodities. The Abyss would launch attacks against the 36 primary material planes at set intervals, sending countless abyssal fiends to harvest souls as well as screening and cultivating stronger powerhouses.

According to the research and analysis of the Cangzhi Plane’s Warlocks, the Abyss was the gathering point of the evil force of the 36 primary material planes. Each year, countless demonic creatures were born in the Abyss due to the evil force. Although these demonic creatures were strong, but their souls were very weak. They had to devour the souls of other beings in order to be able to evolve.

Every time the democalypse broke out, many demonic creatures would gush out of the Abyss, kill all living beings they met, and devour the souls of said living beings in order to evolve to a higher level and gain more strength.

The more powerful a demonic creature of the Abyss was, the stronger the souls they devour had to be. Therefore, many formidable demonic creatures of the Abyss took the initiative to attack the formidable beings of the 36 primary material planes. The souls of gods were their favorite.

The souls of gods had evolved to a very high degree, far surpassing other powerhouses of the same rank. If a demonic creature managed to devour the soul of a god, an earth-shaking evolution would take place.

In the long history of the Feisuo Plane, many gods were devoured by abyssal fiends of the Abyss, bringing about the meteoric rise of one abyssal fiend lord after another.

During ordinary times, the powerful abyssal fiend lords didn’t dare to enter the Feisuo Plane at will, as their abyssal demonic power would be suppressed by the Feisuo Plane and restrained by the divine power of gods of the Feisuo Plane.

In the Abyss, an abyssal fiend earl could contend with a weak divine power rank god. But on the Feisuo Plane, where they would sufferer planar suppression and divine power restraint, the abyssal fiend earl could even be slayed by a demigod relying on divine power.

During the planar tide, the Feisuo Plane greatly suppressed gods. Although the planar tide also suppressed fiends of the Abyss, but it also gave abyssal lords the best opportunity to hunt down gods.

The democalypse that was breaking out now was the vanguard of the abyssal lords, who were about to go in themselves, to test the waters of the Feisuo Plane.

As the gathering point of the evil force of the 36 primary material planes, the Abyss birthed countless demonic creatures each year. In the extremely cruel Abyss, only great fiend rank demonic creatures had a bit of status, while fiend lords were the aristocracy. As for the ordinary abyss fiends, even advanced abyss fiends, who were comparable to level-3 Warlocks, they were but cannon fodder.

Kisad watched Yang Feng chat with his beloved woman. As if his heart had been bitten by the viper called jealousy, his face turned green, and deep in his eyes shone endless jealousy and anger.

Guedes frowned, and his eyes flashed with worry: “Kisad, why don’t we go over and get to know him?”

Kisad’s eyes flickered haughtily, and he uttered pridefully: “No, I don’t want to go over! He should be the one to come over!”

Kisad was a god’s darling, a person who was cared by a god, he cultivated until the Legend realm before he was 30 years old, and he practiced magic and martial dual cultivation, he was the Nr 1 genius of the Meheecan Principality. In the Meheecan Principality, he was the focus of attention. No matter where he went, people would take notice of him, and some would take the initiative to come and make friends with him. This gave rise to arrogance!

Frowning, Guedes silently drained the glass of wine in his hand and sighed inside. With the continuous rise in status, Kisad became more and more prideful, no longer listening to the opinions of others.

Yang Feng chatted with Tissini for a while, then danced a few dances at her invitation, and then had to continue to deal with the surrounding aristocrats.

Although the gazes of aristocrats fell on Esramia and Glicedar from time to time, but none dared to invite them to dance.

Yang Feng had a notorious reputation in the Morrince Empire. None of the Meheecan Principality’s aristocrats dared to provoke such a fearsome character.

After the banquet was over, Yang Feng took Esramia and Glicedar out of the imperial palace.

A court attendant hurriedly caught up to Yang Feng, saying respectfully: “Duke Ian, please wait a moment!”

Yang Feng asked: “What is it?”

The court attendant continued respectfully: “His Majesty Archduke has something he wants to talk to you about! Please come with me!”

“Go back and have a rest!” Yang Feng scrutinized the court attendant. After confirming that it was the same court attendant that had been standing next to Archduke Meheecan during the banquet, he nodded, advised Esramia and Glicedar, and followed the court attendant towards the imperial palace.
