Yet Meng Lei had actually succeeded, and on top of that, he had even killed the previous Ice Demon Prefecture Master. How strong must he be?
The newcomer sized up Meng Lei anew and adopted a much more pleasant attitude. Each Prefecture Master’s revered status aside, just their combat power alone was already worthy of it looking up to them.
“So, what are you looking for me for? Are you thinking of challenging me?” asked Meng Lei calmly.
“Esteemed Ice Demon Prefecture Master, I am August Hymans Bartholomew Holmes Cyril Lawrence Bart Hollis, the Demonic Kingdom’s special envoy,” said the newcomer in self-introduction.
“...”
Meng Lei, “...”
“You may call me Special Envoy Hollis.”
It went on and said, “The Dark Canopy of The Heavens will commence in the middle of next month. Please proceed to the Demonic Capital in a timely fashion and assemble with the other Prefecture Masters there.”
“The Dark Canopy of The Heavens?”
Meng Lei was slightly taken aback. As information about the Dark Canopy of The Heavens rapidly surfaced in his mind, a light jolt couldn’t help but go through him. Then, he nodded slightly and replied, “I’ll be there punctually.”
“Since I’ve relayed the message, then I’ll take my leave now.”
The newcomer bowed slightly and quickly left.
“What’s the Dark Canopy of The Heavens, Meng Lei?” asked Dodola somewhat curiously.
Meng Lei took a deep breath and asked, “Have you heard of the Boundless King, Dodola?”
“The Boundless King?”
A huge jolt went through Dodola, and it exclaimed, “Are you talking about that great existence whose name is eponymous with the four juggernauts of the Void?”
“Yes, him!”
Meng Lei nodded slightly. There were a total of four juggernauts in the vast universe. They stood above all deities, demons, Chief Gods, and Demon Grandmasters and were the true gods among the gods and demons among the demons.
They were supreme existences!
They dominated the universe!
They were the Life Dominus, the Sky Dominus, the Supreme God of The Underworld, and the Grim Reaper King.
It was no exaggeration to say that the four juggernauts were exalted beings that stood at the very pinnacle of the pyramid of power. They were also the four strongest existences in the vast universe, and even Chief Gods paled in comparison to them.
From how the Boundless King enjoyed equal fame as them, one could tell just how fearsome he must be, yet tragically enough, the Boundless King had actually oddly met his demise.
As to how he had fallen, public opinions were divided. Nevertheless, the Boundless King had indeed perished.
“Why are you suddenly bringing up the Boundless King? Is he related to the Dark Canopy of The Heavens?” asked a puzzled Dodola.
Meng Lei replied, “You should also be aware that the four juggernauts had emerged from the two supreme existential planes, the Celestial Realm, and the Netherworld. The Boundless King, however, was the only one of humble origins.”
“That’s true.”
Dodola nodded and said, “During those years that the Boundless King dominated the vast universe, all his deeds were spun into legends that innumerable beings delighted in talking about. The rumored Boundless King was indeed of humble origins and born in a low-end existential plane.”
“According to Cador’s memories, before the Boundless King became a Chief God or even a juggernaut, he was also once the master of a mid-end existential plane!”
Meng Lei explained, “The mid-end existential plane involved with the Dark Canopy of The Heavens is exactly the one that he had once owned. That existential plane is also known as the Boundless Plane.”
Dodola was astonished.
“I can’t determine the authenticity of this information, either. However, that’s exactly what it’s like in Cador’s memories. In fact, many of Dark Hell Continent’s experts also believe that the mid-end existential plane involved with the Dark Canopy of The Heavens is related to the Boundless King,” said Meng Lei with a wry smile.
A frowning Dodola asked, “In that case, the Dark Canopy of The Heavens is actually a space-time rift?”
“To be more accurate, it’s a dimensional gate.”
Meng Lei was rather excited. He said, “The Dark Canopy of The Heavens opens once every 30,000 years. When that happens, all the experts in Dark Hell Continent will gather in front of the Dark Canopy of The Heavens and compete against one another for a slot to enter, in hopes that they can enter the Boundless Plane.”
“You even have to compete to enter?”
Dodola was astonished.
“Only 36 people are allowed to pass through the Dark Canopy of The Heavens each time. Once 36 people have entered, it’ll close temporarily and forbid any more people from entering.”
Meng Lei said with a sigh, “Cador had gone to the Dark Canopy of The Heavens 30,000 years ago, but because it was of mediocre strength, it didn’t win the right to enter.”
“Only 36 people are allowed to enter?” A puzzled Dodola asked, “How intense must the competition be, then?”
“Yes, the competition is exceedingly intense.”
Meng Lei nodded and said, “Innumerable Demon Gods in the entire Dark Hell Continent take part in the competition just to fight for those 36 slots. You can imagine for yourself how stiff the competition must be!”
“It’s certainly very intense!”
Dodola nodded slightly and said, “Since competition is so intense, then there must definitely be some kind of priceless treasure on the Boundless Plane. Otherwise, it would never attract that many Demon Gods.”
“Treasure? While Cador had never seen it before, it’s said that someone had found Demon Grandmaster remains—and even Demon Grandmaster-level demonic weapons—on the Boundless Plane before,” said Meng Lei.
“Demon Grandmaster remains? Demon Grandmaster-level demonic weapons?”
A huge jolt went through Dodola.
Demon Grandmasters were beings equivalent to Chief Gods.
In that case, didn’t that make Demon Grandmaster remains Chief God remains, and Demon
