Chapter 328: The Three Most Powerful Existences, A Master-less Existential Plane

Roar!

Roar!

One was a gigantic, 5,000,000-feet-tall Ice Demon formed fully from ice.

The other was a 6,000,000-feet-long Abyss Skeletal Dragon formed purely with bones.

The two ma.s.sive monstrosities gave off an immense demonic aura. Two waves of demonic might shot high into the heavens and clashed violently against each other. As though a nuclear bomb had exploded, great impact waves erupted with a boom, implicating the whole area within 1,000,000 kilometers of where they were.

Dust swirled everywhere as trees and branches were broken.

Gra.s.s flew about as mountains and rocks shattered and broke.

“T-that’s...”

“It’s Great Demon G.o.d Grover!”

“Who’s that Abyss Skeletal Dragon?”

“That Abyss Skeletal Dragon is also a Great Demon G.o.d!”

“O Ice Demon Grandmaster...”

The demon tribes in Pighead Ridge, as well as the 100,000 Ice Demon Prefecture Guards that had just spread into the surroundings, all watched the two figures in the sky in fear and shock.

Fearsome demonic might weighed down upon their souls wantonly, filling them with fear and trepidation and making them shake like leaves. They couldn’t muster any battle spirit within them at all.

Roar!

As a couple of fearsome, earth-shattering roars rang out, the two ma.s.sive monsters clashed against each other with a thunderous boom. The dimension around them instantly splintered and broke upon the explosion, forming a terrifying black hole straight away.

The gigantic Ice Demon and the Abyss Skeletal Dragon stayed within the black hole. The fearsome s.p.a.ce-time fluxes and dimensional gales blew wantonly at them, yet they were indifferent to it and continued to clash against each other instead.

Boom, boom, boom!

Crack, crack, crack!

Their clashes went from the south to the north, and they battled fiercely with each other from the east to the west.

The dimension around them turned into black holes everywhere they pa.s.sed through. Impact waves and rus.h.i.+ng waves of energy ran rampant, causing a great many unlucky demons to become collateral damage.

They were either smashed into minced meat by the impact waves, jabbed into swiss cheese by the rus.h.i.+ng energy waves, or smashed dead by huge rocks thrown into the air by the wind.

Unlucky to the extreme, they died in all sorts of different ways.

“Run! Hurry and run!”

The creatures on the continent scurried about in fear as they fled, wis.h.i.+ng they had been born with an extra pair of legs. Little did they know that the seemingly intense battle was already nearing a conclusion.

Boom!

The gigantic Ice Demon was already riddled with wounds all over, and there were innumerable ice holes on its body. Its aura had also become several times weaker than what it had initially been.

The Abyss Skeletal Dragon, on the other hand, was as unscathed as ever. It had a strong momentum going on and was actually becoming more and more valiant as the battle progressed. Its battle spirit had become several times stronger than what it had been in the beginning.

“Die!”

Meng Lei roared, smas.h.i.+ng his huge claw down and going straight for the Ice Demon’s head.

“d.a.m.n!”

The Ice Demon’s expression changed dramatically, and it hastily raised its right arm in defense.

Crack!

The skeletal claw and ice arm collided against each other. Amidst a great collision so loud that it could deafen spectators, the Ice Demon’s ice arm broke apart with a boom, causing ice chips to spray about.

“Again!”

Meng Lei was unforgiving upon gaining momentum, and he started a new round of bombardment on the Ice Demon. He had higher speed and more violent strength than the Ice Demon, and his attacks rained down endlessly like a fierce, turbulent storm.

Boom, boom, boom!

At last, the huge Ice Demon couldn’t withstand the consecutive series of blows anymore, and it broke apart into pieces with a blast.

The Ice Demon had lost!

Whoos.h.!.+

A white crystal shot out of the broken ice chips, instantly hurtling into the distance—it was Great Demon G.o.d Grover’s demonic core!

“Fleeing? I was already on guard against that a long time ago!”

Meng Lei let out a derisive scoff and smacked his skeletal claw downward in mid-air. As though he were swatting a mosquito dead, his claw completely covered the white demonic core...

Smack!

The blow dazed and dizzied Great Demon G.o.d Grover and Meng Lei easily caught the demonic core with a casual grab. The sound of Grover’s mad and furious bellows could be heard coming from it.

“You d.a.m.ned b.a.s.t.a.r.d! How dare you destroy my demonic body! I’ll fight you to the death! The enmity between us knows no bounds! I, Grover, swear I’ll be no demon if I don’t kill you—”

Meng Lei couldn’t help but laugh. He couldn’t be bothered to pay any more heed to the fellow. Instead, he turned to Dodola and asked, “Dodola, do you have any way of reading this guy’s memories?”

Dodola shook its head and answered, “I’m just a divinity projection right now, so my divine spirit is extremely weak at the moment and unable to read its memories. Your alternate incarnation can’t do it either, right?”

Meng Lei nodded lightly. Then, he said, “In that case, we can only return to Light Continent for the time being.”

“Let’s go then!”

Meng Lei and Dodola returned to Light Continent, upon which he then pa.s.sed the demonic core to his true body. What happened next was obvious—breaking through the divine spirit’s defenses and reading its memories.

A long while later, he was finally done with reading its memories.

“How is it?” asked a concerned Dodola.

Ol’ Amos and Amolin also turned to Meng Lei. As for the rest of the Kroc Holy Sect’s higher management officers, Ol’ Amos had already sent them all away to continue spreading his faith.

As for Bailey Yale, the Ancient Demon Pig, he was already on his way to G.o.ds-Demons Continent with his wives and children.

Although the place was a great distance away, there was no other place more suitable for them as a habitat besides G.o.ds-Demons Continent.

In other words, Meng Lei, Dodola, Ol’ Amos, and Amolin were the only ones left in the sky above the Demon Ravine at the moment.

“Dark h.e.l.l Continent is far stronger and far more dangerous than what we had imagined, Dodola.”

Meng Lei said with a sigh, “According to Grover’s memories, the Ice Demon Prefecture alone already houses more than ten Great Demon G.o.ds, among which the strongest—the Ice Demon Prefecture Master—is even a mid-level Great Demon G.o.d.”

“A mid-level Great Demon G.o.d!”

Dodola gasped. It knew the significance behind a mid-level Great Demon G.o.d. Great Demon G.o.ds were also grouped into four cla.s.ses in accordance to how strong they were—ordinary Great Demon G.o.ds, mid-level Great Demon G.o.ds, high-level Great Demon G.o.ds, and Great Perfection-level Great Demon G.o.ds.

They corresponded respectively to elementary-level, mid-level, high-level, and Great Perfection-level higher deities.

A mid-level Great Demon G.o.d = A mid-level higher deity!

Ordinary Great Demon G.o.ds and mid-level Great Demon G.o.ds might seem as though they were only a grade apart, but in truth, one was as lofty as the heavens while the other was as lowly as the earth. There was no comparability between the two at all.

One mustn’t be fooled by how Meng Lei’s Abyss Skeletal Dragon alternate incarnation had killed Grover, an ordinary Great Demon G.o.d. Had he been up against a mid-level Great Demon G.o.d instead, he... would undoubtedly have suffered complete defeat!

Dodola was aware that Meng Lei’s Abyss Skeletal Dragon alternate incarnation’s standard was, at best, only in between an ordinary Great Demon G.o.d and a mid-level Great Demon G.o.d and was neither higher nor lower than that.

“How many prefectures are there in total in the Dark h.e.l.l Demonic Kingdom?”

Dodola popped the most crucial question.

“108,” replied Meng Lei.

Dodola gasped. “In other words, there are at least another 107 mid-level Great Demon G.o.ds like the Ice Demon Prefecture Master in the Dark h.e.l.l Demonic Kingdom?”

“Yes, that’s right!”

Meng Lei nodded lightly. He said, “There’s a certain tradition in the Dark h.e.l.l Demonic Kingdom—the strongest person usually undertakes the position of Prefecture Master in the prefecture. Additionally, they must also be prepared for challengers for the position at all times. If a challenger succeeds in beating them, they’ll be able to replace them and become the new Prefecture Master.”

This information didn’t come as a surprise to Dodola at all. It said, “Compet.i.tion among demons is usually as simple and direct as that. The weak are eliminated, and the strong are revered.”

Meng Lei nodded and added, “Because of the stiff compet.i.tion, those who are capable of becoming the Dark h.e.l.l Demonic Kingdom’s 108 prefectures’ masters are all extremely powerful people.”

Dodola asked, “Any news about the master of the existential plane?”

“Probably not.”

Meng Lei shook his head and said, “According to Grover’s memories, there are three most powerful Great Demon G.o.ds in Dark h.e.l.l Continent. They are the kings of the Dark h.e.l.l Demonic Kingdom, the Fallen Kingdom, and the Three-Headed h.e.l.l Kingdom. All three of them are high-level Great Demon G.o.ds, and none of them can do anything about the other two.”

Dodola’s eyes lit up slightly, and it asked, “In that case, there isn’t any especially strong and peerless Great Demon G.o.d that’s powerful enough to overwhelm the whole existential plane?”

Meng Lei shook his head again and replied, “There’s no one like that in Grover’s memories.”

“That’s wonderful news!”

Dodola snickered and added, “Or at least, it shows that there’s a certain chance that Dark h.e.l.l Continent doesn’t have a master!”

“Really?” Meng Lei frowned and asked, “What if Dark h.e.l.l Continent actually has a master, but they are just indifferent to fame and fortune, and thus, their name and existence are unknown to the public?”

“The possibility exists, but it’s not very likely.”

A smiling Dodola explained, “You must understand that mid-end existential planes’ masters, regardless of which, are all peerless overlord-like existences. It’s typically impossible for any of them to be nameless existences. They don’t call them ‘Chief G.o.ds of Existential Planes’ for nothing! Besides, it isn’t that easy to become a master of mid-end existential planes.”

Dodola went on. “Mid-end existential planes are more vast in territory, and their Power of Existential Plane contains even stronger force than that of low-end ones. It’s also harder for one to refine the Heart of The Existential Plane, and the process typically requires a long time to complete.

“However, we have three peerless powerhouses that each impose a restraining effect on and interfere with one another on Dark h.e.l.l Continent. Therefore, the likelihood of them refining the Heart of The Existential Plane is really not high.”

Meng Lei nodded incessantly in response. He said, “According to Grover’s memories, the relations.h.i.+ps among the three most powerful Great Demon G.o.ds in Dark h.e.l.l Continent are indeed like oil and water. Each of them wishes to kill the other two and dominate Dark h.e.l.l Continent by themselves. However, all three have been in a tripart.i.te confrontation all the way even till today.”

“No doubt about it, then!”

An excited Dodola said, “My bold guess is that there’s a high likelihood that no one has yet refined Dark h.e.l.l Continent’s Heart of The Existential Plane! In other words, there’s a very high chance that... Dark h.e.l.l Continent is masterless!”

“Masterless!”

Meng Lei’s breathing turned quick and ragged. One must know that Dark h.e.l.l Continent was a mid-end existential plane! Should he be able to refine its Heart of The Existential Plane and take the existential plane for himself, just how spectacular a sight would that be?

A Chief G.o.d of Existential Planes!

He would become a Chief G.o.d of Existential Planes!

How grand and spectacular an event would that be?

“Of course, whether or not it really is master-less still requires verification.”

Dodola looked at Meng Lei and said, “Verifying this is a very simple matter. You just need to find the Heart of The Existential Plane and investigate, that’s all. It all depends on whether you have the guts to do it or not.”

“We must verify it! Of course, we must verify it!”

Meng Lei nodded heavily. A shrewd gleam twinkled in his eyes as he said seriously, “The bold die fat, while the cowardly die hungry. I’ll do it!”

“Don’t you brag,” Dodola snickered and said, “It isn’t that easy to find a mid-end existential plane’s Heart of The Existential Plane. Given your divine spirit, it’ll take eons before you find it!”

“What should I do, then?”

Meng Lei broke into a frown at once. His divine body was comparable to a higher deity’s, but his divine spirit was still at pinnacle-grade intermediate deity-level. Even if he were to use Super Enhancement to enhance it, the highest it could go was just elementary-grade higher deity-level.

It certainly wasn’t very powerful.

“I’ll go!”

Dodola flapped its tiny little wings and said, “I’ve made contact with a mid-end existential plane’s Heart of The Existential Plane before, so I know how to find it in the shortest amount of time possible.”

Meng Lei asked seriously, “Will you need to head there in your real body?”

“Yes, I must head there in my real body.”

Dodola nodded and said, “It’s only when I head there in my real body that my divine spirit will be at its strongest. It’s also only then that I can search for the Heart of The Existential Plane at the best of my ability.”

Meng Lei couldn’t stop himself from reminding Dodola, “Have you thought about this, Dodola? In the event that Dark h.e.l.l Continent does have a master, you’ll be in danger!”

He was a master of an existential plane himself. Therefore, he knew very well that the master of the existential plane would be able to immediately sense it the moment the Heart of The Existential Plane experienced any sign of trouble.

Should Dark h.e.l.l Continent already have a master, Dodola would be very easily discovered and put in danger while investigating the Heart of The Existential Plane!

“I’ll bet you that Dark h.e.l.l Continent definitely doesn’t have a master yet!” Dodola gave him a confident smile and said, “My intuition has always been very accurate!”

“Are you really gonna go?”

Meng Lei said seriously, “We can take our time to investigate this. There’s no hurry.”

“Don’t worry. I haven’t fulfilled the G.o.d of Time’s instructions yet, so I will never put myself in danger!”

A laughing Dodola then leaped forward and flew into the s.p.a.ce-time rift.

Meng Lei hastily took control of the Abyss Skeletal Dragon and went after Dodola. Should Dodola meet with danger, at least he’d still be able to help out a little here and there.

Upon reaching Dark h.e.l.l Continent, Dodola immediately released its divine cognition and began its search without any hesitation.

This was Meng Lei’s first time sensing Dodola’s divine cognition. He couldn’t help but be astounded.

Dodola’s divine cognition was extremely vast. As though the boundless starry skies, there was no end to it...
