  “Alright.” Black Wind nodded in agreement.

  If one’s body was weak, a single mistake in battle could lead to their death. With a strong body, one could afford a few mistakes in battle. Black Wind and White Cloud had impressively strong bodies. They had reigned supreme in the Demon Realm for many years. They had excellent teamwork and rich combat experience.

  Meng Chuan approached the streak of starlight with the three other Godfiends in tow.

  So beautiful. Meng Chuan stared at the streak of starlight with wide eyes.

  Inside the streak of starlight was a ten-foot-wide, dark ice block. Countless scenes surfaced on it. At close proximity, Meng Chuan saw himself appear on the dark ice.

  Under the dark sky, a white-haired Meng Chuan sat on a city wall as he drank alone. A man walked over and bowed respectfully. He looked like Meng An, but much more mature.

  The white-haired Meng Chuan held Demon Slayer as he stood in the void. He looked coldly at King Calm Sea and said something.

  King Calm Sea laughed maniacally.

  As soon as Meng Chuan saw the two scenes that featured himself, King True Martial waved his hand, and an invisible power enveloped the Spacetime Floating Ice.

  “Retrieve.” King True Martial struggled to store the Spacetime Floating Ice away.

  King True Martial looked at Meng Chuan and sent a voice transmission. “Don’t look at the Spacetime Floating Ice. Everyone sees something different from it. I don’t know what you saw, but it’s a different spacetime trajectory. Even a Creation-realm expert can barely use the Spacetime Floating Ice. Such a treasure will only be harmful to you.” Different spacetime trajectory? Meng Chuan pondered the possibilities.

  “It’s just a possible future. You don’t have to believe in it.” King True Martial kindly said, “You can pretend that you didn’t see it.”

  Meng Chuan pondered. How could he pretend not to see it? It was strange to see himself with white hair. With high attainments in the physical body cultivation system, he could maintain peak lifeforce even when he was at the end of his lifespan, so how could he have white hair? Also, what was going on with him and King Calm Sea?

  In that scene, he seemed very powerful. Meng Chuan could vaguely sense that King Calm Sea was stronger than he was now, but in that scene, he appeared to be even stronger?

  And An’er. Meng Chuan had seen a mature Meng An. It’s one of the possible spacetime trajectories? It’s just a possibility? Meng Chuan felt a little confused.

  When King True Martial saw White Cloud and Black Wind rapidly approaching, he exhorted Meng Chuan, “I can pry into the River of Spacetime. I can tell you that the past can’t be changed, but the future remains unknown.” King True Martial was afraid that Meng Chuan had seen a nightmare-like future and was extremely agitated.

  In fact, the scene Meng Chuan saw wasn’t too terrible.

  “Senior Brother Meng, what did you see?” Yan Chitong was curious. He and Xue Feng had followed along, but King True Martial had prevented them from seeing the Spacetime Floating Ice. Since Meng Chuan was carrying the three of them to the Spacetime Floating Ice, he naturally couldn’t obstruct Meng Chuan’s vision.

  “Nothing.” Meng Chuan temporarily suppressed his emotions when he noticed White Cloud and Black Wind charging over from afar.

  “White Cloud Disorder!” White Cloud’s voice sounded out from afar as he spread his white wings.

  Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!

  Streaks of white light flew out from White Cloud’s wings; thousands of light streaks came inundating over.

  “Interesting.” King True Martial stood there, protecting Meng Chuan, Yan Chitong, and Xue Feng.

  An invisible domain enveloped them.

  Poof, poof, poof, poof…

  The light streaks disintegrated the moment they invaded the domain. Only three feathers managed to escape the fate of disintegration. They flew at high speeds, within the domain, towards King True Martial.

  His domain obliterated 9,000 white feathers? White Cloud was alarmed. His White Cloud Disorder used 9,000 white feathers as a cover for the three feathers. It was an attack that mixed the real and the fake, but its might was extraordinary. King True Martial had just destroyed the 9,000 white feathers with just his domain. This greatly decreased the threat of the remaining three feathers—which White Cloud had refined for many years.

  Attack.

  Die!

  Black Wind rushed toward King True Martial with a gust of black wind. White Cloud transformed into a white beam of light as he charged over. After all, they were still demon monarchs; they were best at close combat.

  King True Martial watched them calmly.

  Swoosh.

  King Calm Sea was rapidly rushing over from afar. However, it was obvious that he still needed nine seconds to arrive. He carefully observed King True Martial’s moves.Boom! Boom!

  As the two demon monarchs approached, the seemingly gentle-looking King True Martial punched twice.

  The first blurry punch struck Black Wind with a gray blur. The second punch similarly struck White Cloud.

  He used his fist? Black Wind was a 1,000-foot-tall black bear. He swung his paw, striking the blurry fist. “Ah!” Black Wind roared in pain. A huge hole silently appeared on his paw. His flesh and blood instantly turned to nothingness. After the blurry fist shadow penetrated the bear paw, it reached Black Wind’s head and blasted a hole through it instantly. No blood flowed out. The fist shadow left nothing in its wake.

  Black Wind’s powerful body was unable to withstand the punch and was injured severely. The wounds on his head and paw were busy healing.

  Meanwhile, White Cloud was about to strike King True Martial with his wings—which were as sharp as divine armaments—when he was struck by the blurry fist. White Cloud’s body was smaller in size, so upon contact with the fist, his entire body—including his wings—was completely pulverized.

  Nothing was left behind! He disappeared without a trace! Not even his corpse was left behind! White Cloud, no matter what tricks or divine powers he had, vanished with a single punch!

  Is his True Martial Seven Absolutes that powerful? King Calm Sea’s pupils constricted at King True Martial’s display of strength. Although King Calm Sea also had the strength of a weak Creation-realm expert and an inheritance from Archean Eon Grotto-Heaven, King True Martial was publicly recognized to be the strongest Archean Mountain Regis Godfiend. However, it had been a long time since King True Martial had used his full strength. There were simply too few opportunities for him to use his full strength in the human world.

  Chapter 307 - Treasure Splitting

  “Brother White Cloud.” Black Wind was astonished when he saw how the punch had completely pulverized White Cloud. Although White Cloud’s body was not as strong as his, he was still a peak fifth Firmament demon monarch. His feathers could be used as weapons and as a shield. Even a demon sage couldn’t be certain that they could kill him in a single strike.

  However, the truth laid before him.

  He was vanquished by a human Regis Godfiend in a single punch? Black Wind didn’t know that there were huge strength differences between Regis Godfiends. Some experts could fight those at a higher cultivation realm! Though the founder of the Heart Intent Saber Art, Ancestral Master Guo Ke, was only a Regis Godfiend, he could suppress the Creation Supremacies in his era! Although King True Martial wasn’t at the level of Ancestral Master Guo Ke, he was still extremely terrifying.

  Flee! Black Wind no longer had any confidence. Fear filled his heart as he shrank his body without any hesitation. He transformed into a black wind and fled into the distance.

  “Do you think you can escape from my domain?” King True Martial smiled.

  Whoosh!

  A massive Yin-Yang disc—which had a radius of five kilometers—suddenly appeared in front of King True Martial. Previously, Black Wind had closed the gap between him and King True Martial in an attempt to engage in close combat; thus, he was in t
he range of the Yin-Yang disc. The black-and-white Yin-Yang disc spun, and at the boundary of the disc, blurry gray energy surfaced.

  Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

  The Yin-Yang disc rotated.

  Black Wind felt a terrifying force sweep over him. He tried his best to escape but failed. What power is this? Black Wind struggled with all his might, but he was sucked towards the center of the Yin-Yang disc.

  “Wind!” roared Black Wind. The surrounding black winds howled even more maniacally. However, the black winds were torn apart by an invisible force.

  “Scram.” Black Wind recovered to his original height—1,000 feet-as blood-colored runes appeared on his body. He resisted the pull of the Yin-Yang disc with his terrifying, mighty body, slowing down his approach to the Yin-Yang disc’s center.

  This demon monarch has such a powerful body. King True Martial stood in the same spot and extended his hand. A gigantic gray palm condensed above Black Wind. The huge palm, which had condensed out of thin air, pressed downwards.

  “Ah.” Black Wind frantically pushed upwards on the huge palm. However, he cried out in pain when the gigantic palm met his body. He couldn’t withstand the blow and was rapidly sucked into the Yin-Yang disc’s center.

  Whoosh.

  At the boundary of the Yin-Yang disc, the blurry gray energy engulfed Black Wind completely. Stuck inside it, Black Wind’s body began to crack as the Yin-Yang disc spun. As his body shattered, it recovered at the same time.

  “No,” Black Wind tried his best to resist as he punched furiously! His body desperately tried to recover from the damage. However, as the Yin-Yang disc rotated, Black Wind’s body constantly shattered.

  The Yin-Yang disc spun seven times. Black Wind’s body had been completely shattered. His flesh pulverized, and his blood evaporated as he died. Some artifacts floated out as a result.

  He died just like that? Meng Chuan, Yan Chitong, and Xue Feng were shocked. They could sense how powerful Black Wind’s body was. However, he was forcefully ground to death by the black-and-white Yin-Yang disc. He didn’t have a chance of escaping at all.

  Legend has it that King True Martial’s self-created ultimate technique, the True Martial Seven Absolutes, is as strong as a Black Metal Sutra. However, this ultimate technique isn’t perfect enough. King True Martial hasn’t taught it to outsiders. This move should also be from his True Martial Seven Absolutes, right?

  Godfiends would typically pen down their ultimate techniques for future generations if they were close to the end of their lifespans, or if they believed their ultimate techniques to have reached sufficient perfection. They usually weren’t in a hurry to impart their ultimate techniques when it was still being improved and worked on.

  So powerful. Even King Calm Sea was shocked by King True Martial’s display of power.

  He was extremely proud. Why wouldn’t he be proud when he had touched upon the Grotto-Heaven profundity after cultivating for just a century? He originally believed that as a Regis Godfiend with a special heritage, special opportunities, and self-created ultimate techniques, that the gap between him and King True Martial wasn’t huge. However, from the looks of it, he had overestimated himself.

  His current realm should have already surpassed King Yanshui. Even if we include the ancient Regis Godfiends that had awoken, I should be one of the best. That was King Calm Sea’s judgment. “Junior Brothers.” King True Martial chuckled as he pointed at the dozen streaks of starlight in the distance. “Whoever snatches those treasures, it will be theirs.”

  “Oh?” Meng Chuan, Yan Chitong, and Xue Feng were taken aback, but they quickly chased after the streaks of starlight, leaving behind afterimages of their speeding bodies. King True Martial and King Calm Sea flew to a spot and intercepted the streaks of starlight as well.

  After a while, the five of them had all obtained something.

  “Just giving each of them one or two would do.” King Calm Sea stood beside King True Martial and calmly said, “Each of them has obtained three treasures, it’s a little too much.”

  “They will hand them over to Archean Mountain and exchange them for credits,” said King True Martial with a smile. “Both of us don’t lack credits, but the three of them are still young. Archean Mountain has intentions of nurturing the three of them. It’s only right to give them more credits.”

  King Calm Sea nodded slightly.

  Meng Chuan and company were somewhat happy as they flew over. They were being protected this time, so they naturally didn’t want to be too greedy. They avoided the most dazzling treasures, and each took three of the remaining treasures.

  “Thank you, Senior Brother.” Meng Chuan and company bowed.

  King True Martial smiled and said, “If you like something, keep it for yourself. However, you won’t be able to use most of the treasures. You can hand them over to Archean Mountain for credits. In the future, you can exchange for what you need with credits.” Xue Feng and Yan Chitong were more excited. This was because they didn’t contribute much to the human race. Meng Chuan’s contributions to the human race were substantial, so he wasn’t too excited about gaining more credits.

  “This time, the Spacetime Floating Ice is the most valuable treasure,” continued King True Martial. “Junior Brother Meng carried me over, so he has rendered great service with his speed. If he hadn’t, the demons would have arrived first… If Junior Brother Xue and I were to chase after them, there might be unexpected variables. Therefore, the credits shall be split equally between Junior Brother Meng, Junior Brother Xue, and me.”

  “I only carried you to the treasure,” said Meng Chuan, “You don’t have to give me credit.”King Calm Sea frowned and coldly said, “We succeeded due to your joint efforts. It has nothing to do with me. There’s no need to split the credits with me.”

  King True Martial looked at King Calm Sea, smiled, then nodded. “Alright, the credits will be split between Junior Brother Meng and me equally. Junior Brother Meng, there’s no need to say anything more. Credits aren’t of much importance to King Calm Sea and me anymore.”

  Meng Chuan didn’t argue further.

  “Let’s go there and continue cultivating.” King True Martial pointed at the spot where the purple lightning was most eye-catching.

  The five of them rushed over and watched the birth of the world before continuing their cultivation.

  “Dad.” Xue Feng came to King Calm Sea’s side. “Feng’er, what’s the matter?” King Calm Sea retracted his gaze from the distant scene of a forming world. He frowned as he looked at his son. With his temperament, he was extremely furious that someone had interrupted his cultivation. However, he had made an exception for his most outstanding son.

  “I just obtained three treasures. One of them was something I found special, so I took it.” As Xue Feng spoke, he took out a large box from his storage bag. He opened the box, revealing an ice lotus flower inside. Flames flickered on the ice lotus flower’s pistil. “I can sense that its ice and fire powers come from the same source. They are extremely mysterious. Is it suitable for Seventh Brother’s cultivation?”

  “Your seventh brother?” King Calm Sea looked at the ice lotus flower.

  Chapter 308 - Xue Feng’s Request

  Xue Feng nervously looked at his father. After Yan Jin ran away from home and changed his surname, he didn’t know how his father would treat his younger brother.

  Yes, he did not know. For the past few years, apart from cultivating and guarding Calm Sea Pass, his father had almost zero interest in anything else. He treated all his children equally, almost ignoring them completely! He couldn’t be bothered with his children when they tried to please him. Yan Jin had already run away from home and changed his surname, but King Calm Sea still couldn’t be bothered with him. King Calm Sea favored Xue Feng a little because he was much more outstanding than his other siblings. However, he only favored him a little.

  According to what Xue Feng had heard, when the demons invaded Eastcalm City, King Calm Sea�
�s Heavenly Tribulation Sword appeared and saved Eastcalm City. According to Xue Feng’s judgment, the fact his father had left a sword mark on his younger brother—which ended up saving him-meant that he wasn’t heartless.

  “It’s very suitable for your seventh brother,” said King Calm Sea before returning to look at the forming world that stood in the distance.

  “Thank you, Dad. I’ll take my leave.” Xue Feng was overjoyed. He bowed respectfully and obediently retreated.

  King Calm Sea watched the forming world before immersing himself in his cultivation.

  Meng Chuan watched the purple lightning brandish and flail its claws as it tore through the endless darkness. The purple lightning’s stunning beauty attracted him. He also practiced his saber art over and over again.

  His Essence Soul realm was very high. He had long obtained a fourth-level Essence Soul. He was in no way inferior to King Calm Sea and the other Regis Godfiends. However, he improved slowly in regards to his technique realm. Meng Chuan also knew his shortcomings, so he worked harder in this aspect of cultivation.

  I hope that I can reach the Dharma Domain realm when I attain a fifth-level Essence Soul. That way, I’ll be able to cultivate my body to the Blood Droplet realm. My body will be stronger than Greater Demon Monarch Black Wind’s, and my electromagnetic domain will have a larger range. I’ll probably be able to kill more than 1,000 demon monarchs per day when I conduct underground reconnaissance with my improved scouting range. I’ll be able to turn the tides of this war single-handedly.

  He alone could affect the war’s outcome. How incredible was it for a single person to kill more demon monarchs than all the other Godfiends in the world combined? However, that was how the world of cultivation was. The strength of an individual surpassed the masses!
