Chapter 006: Facing Death with Unwavering Spirit

After a brief moment of cheering, the crowd in the banquet hall quickly calmed down again.

After all, the threat from the Demon God of Monkeys had not yet been truly eliminated, so they could not possibly relax completely.

"Prince Yongning!"

The Emperor of Chu quickly asked, "When will you be able to deal with that monster, Mengqi?"

"Although the Demon God of the Monkey King suffered some injuries from the explosion of the most powerful nuclear bomb, those injuries are nothing to him, and he should be able to recover in no time!"

"If we wait for the Monkey King to recover from its injuries, our coastal bases will be destroyed again. At that point, the other sea monsters alone will pose a huge threat to us!"

"This can't be rushed!"

After listening to the words of the Chu Emperor, Zhao Gang, the Dean of the Academy of Sciences, quickly replied, "Our teacher has just broken through and will definitely need some time to familiarize himself with that realm. As for those sea monsters, although they pose a great threat to our human side, once we deal with the Mengqi Demon God, the other monsters will be relatively easy to handle!"

"That's absolutely right!"

Chu Zhongtian glanced at the Emperor of Chu, then quickly said, "In this battle against the Mengqi Demon God, the strength of the Prince of Yongning is paramount; there can be absolutely no problems!"

"As for those military bases, so be it if they were destroyed by that demon god Mengqi. We can just rebuild them later, as long as we withdraw the troops and warriors stationed there beforehand!"

"Yes, Ancestor!"

After hearing Chu Zhongtian's words, the Emperor of Chu quickly responded respectfully.

Although he was heartbroken by the constant destruction of Chu's military bases, he also knew that what Zhao Gang had just said was the most correct.

Now that even Chu Zhongtian has spoken, he naturally won't disobey in the slightest.

"It's alright!"

Just then, Lu Qingshan quickly spoke up, saying, "Although I've only just entered the Domain Realm, this domain is quite special. Once you understand it, you can master it completely, so there's no need to spend too much time familiarizing yourself with it!"

That being said, if a combat technique could be created that complements the Earth Domain, it would definitely be of great help in improving Lu Qingshan's strength.

However, the creation of secret techniques is by no means a matter of a day; it often takes several years or even decades, and the human side simply does not have that kind of time to waste.

Thinking of this, Lu Qingshan quickly said, "The Demon God Mengqi is currently recuperating in the sea, and the strength of us humans will be greatly affected in the sea, even if I have entered the Domain Realm!"

"So now we can only wait for that Monkey God to emerge from the sea again. As soon as it leaves the sea, I will immediately set off to deal with it, hoping to kill it completely! Even if we can't destroy it, we must force it back into the sea!"

"Young friend Qingshan, I'll go with you!"

As soon as Lu Qingshan finished speaking, Wei Changsheng suddenly said, "That Mengqi Demon God has been fighting with our humans for hundreds of years. He's incredibly cunning. This time, he'll definitely wait until his injuries are fully healed before leaving the sea, and he'll certainly be even more cautious afterward!"

"Even though you've entered the Domain Realm, you might not be able to kill your opponent!"

"Although I'm weaker, having more people means a better chance of success! I'll go with you. Even if it costs me my life, we must kill that Monkey Demon God!"

"I'm going too!"

Another fifth-tier Martial Saint spoke up, saying, "I only have a little over ten years left before my lifespan ends. I was originally going to fight those sea monsters to the death, and now it's the perfect time to deal with that Monchi Demon God!"

"I'm going too!"

Count me in!

Immediately, the people around began to speak.

However, the current registration is very different from before. Previously, everyone wanted to fight to the death, but the chance of successfully killing the Monkey God was extremely slim.

Now that Lu Qingshan, who has entered the realm of domains, is leading the way, the chances of everyone killing the Demon God Mengqi have undoubtedly increased greatly, so everyone's morale is now much higher than before.

Ultimately, led by Wei Changsheng and Chu Zhongtian, a total of more than two hundred Martial Saint-level experts decided to join Lu Qingshan in fighting the Mengqi Demon God to the death!

"There's no need for that!"

Lu Qingshan looked at the crowd who had signed up for the battle, and sighed inwardly: "That Mengqi Demon God has, after all, entered the Demon God realm. The main reason I went to kill him this time was because I comprehended the Earth Domain. As for ordinary Martial Saint level experts, going to deal with that Mengqi Demon God would be nothing short of suicide!"

"I know everyone is willing to sacrifice themselves for the future of humanity, but sacrifices made in vain are utterly meaningless!"

"Furthermore, after killing that Monkey Demon God, we still need to eliminate the other sea monsters, so there's no need to expend all our strength on that Monkey Demon God!"

"Young friend Qingshan is right!"

After hearing Lu Qingshan's words, Wei Changsheng quickly interjected, "However, we absolutely cannot let you fight alone against that Mengqi Demon God this time!"

"Alright then, this time when you go to deal with that Monkey Demon God, we old folks who are nearing the end of our lives will accompany you. We've all lived a long time, so we're quite strong and shouldn't hold you back!"

"That's right!"

After hearing Wei Changsheng's words, Chu Zhongtian quickly chimed in, "We old folks have lived long enough. Since we have no chance of breaking through to the Martial God level anyway, it doesn't matter if we die at the hands of that Mengqi Demon God!"

After some discussion, the people in the banquet hall finally decided on the people to go and deal with the demon god Mengqi.

Besides Lu Qingshan, who was in charge, the group also included eighteen other Martial Saint-level experts, such as Wei Changsheng and Chu Zhongtian, who were not far from the end of their lifespans.

Among these Martial Saint level experts, the weakest are all at the fifth level of Martial Saint. Although there is a huge gap between them and the Demon God in terms of strength, they are not so much more capable of being killed by the Demon God Mengqi in one move if they cooperate with each other.

However, since the Demon God of Monkeys is still hiding in the sea, and these powerful figures don't know if they will be able to return alive after this battle, they have all begun to arrange some trivial matters afterward.

As for Lu Qingshan, there wasn't much to arrange. Although he had a lot of help back then, his parents hadn't broken through to the Martial Saint level, so they had passed away many years ago.

As for his wife, children, and disciples, many of them have broken through to the Martial Saint level, so even if something unexpected happens to him, he will still be able to continue to protect the family.

Moreover, planetary-level powerhouses who possess domains are known as invincible at the planetary level. Even if they cannot kill the Monkey Demon God, they still have a high chance of surviving in his hands!

And so, time continued to pass.

Three days later, the Demon God Mengqi left the sea area again and began to destroy another military base of the Chu Kingdom.

However, this time the Demon God was obviously much more careful. Even when destroying military bases that posed no threat to him, he only launched long-range attacks and did not get close at all.

Meanwhile, Lu Qingshan and his group, having received the news, also set off quickly.

After reuniting in their flying vehicles, Lu Qingshan and his group of nineteen immediately transformed into nineteen streaks of light and flew towards the direction where the Monkey God was heading to the next military base.

At this moment, every place on Xuanhuang Star was playing out this scene of their fearless acceptance of death.

"Wei Changsheng, Dean of the Wei Kingdom Martial Arts Academy; Chu Zhongtian, the strongest warrior in the Chu Kingdom... and my Qin Kingdom's most invincible super being, the world's strongest warrior, Prince Yongning, Lu Qingshan!"

"Today, for the future of humanity, they have chosen to confront a terrifying demon god!"

Let us pray together that they will defeat the demon god and return safely!

The commentator's voice was low and somber, and in front of countless screens, everyone began to pray.

Meanwhile, Lu Qingshan and his group of nineteen were rushing to the location of the Monkey God.

"Hahaha!"

During the flight, Chu Zhongtian couldn't help but laugh loudly, "At this moment, I'm afraid everyone on Xuanhuang Star is watching us. To be able to fight that Mengqi Demon God under the gaze of so many people, even if we really die in battle, it will not have been in vain!"

"yes!"

Wei Changsheng, standing nearby, echoed, "But we have to thank our friend Qingshan for creating the Academy of Sciences. Otherwise, how could we be using such convenient technological products?"

Upon hearing this, Chu Zhongtian turned to look at Lu Qingshan: "King Yongning, I truly didn't expect you to possess such terrifying talent in cultivation and technology. With your leadership, humanity will surely become even stronger in the future!"

"But if I die at the hands of that demon god Mengqi this time, I'm afraid my Chu Kingdom will need your help even more!"

"Yes, young friend Aoyama!"

Wei Changsheng, who was standing nearby, quickly added, "My Wei Kingdom and the Martial Arts Academy also need your help!"

Don't worry!

Lu Qingshan glanced at everyone, then solemnly said, "This time, when we go to deal with that Mengqi Demon God, I'm sure everyone will return safely! If anyone does die at the hands of that Mengqi Demon God, as long as I'm alive, I will ensure that his family's descendants are not bullied in any way!"

In fact, long before they set off, everyone had already taken care of their affairs after they left.

But now that they've heard Lu Qingshan's promise, they naturally have fewer worries, and they'll be less hesitant when they fight the Demon God Mengqi.

After flying for about half an hour, a terrifying monster that was over a thousand meters long soon came into view of Lu Qingshan and his group!

Its body was covered with dense scales, and it had six wings made of fascia and muscles on its back. It had only one black eye on its head, making it look like a winding giant snake. It was none other than the Monkey Demon God who had broken through to the Demon God realm!
