I…
After Meng Chuan struck out with his saber, he stood in the courtyard and watched as a rift appeared in the clouds high up in the night sky. He stood there in a daze before lowering his head to look at the saber in his hand.
Dharma Domain realm? I’ve reached the Dharma Domain realm? Meng Chuan was overjoyed. After painting Lightning Fifteen Forms in the World Gap and having gained a direction, he had proceeded with his cultivation in that direction.
He had finally reached the Dharma Domain realm after three years.
Dharma Domain realm. Meng Chuan couldn’t help but strike again.
The saber transformed into a beam of light. If Quintessential Essence threads reached this speed, it wouldn’t cause many changes to the void. However, Demon Slayer was a divine armament. It was rather heavy, so its tremendous speed caused the void to distort greatly. Such a heavy weapon needed to reach tremendous speeds so that it could turn into a beam of light.
Meng Chuan distorted the void to a greater extent than when he used his Indestructible Divine Armor. Due to this distorted void, anything within a kilometer was within his saber’s reach.
Meng Chuan’s saber slashed out in all directions. It struck everywhere within a kilometer. So that he didn’t affect mortals, Meng Chuan swung his saber at the night sky, tearing apart the clouds above. In the dark, perhaps only Godfiends could see the clouds in the sky.
After slashing out dozens of times, he stopped. He was now certain that he had reached the Dharma Domain realm.
I can sense it. At such speeds, the saber becomes very heavy. However, the power behind my attacks has also increased greatly. As Demon Slayer becomes faster, the saber’s might will rapidly increase.
cease.
Meng Chuan couldn’t hold back his joy. When he entered the bedroom, his wife, Liu Qiyue, was sleeping soundly.
“Ah Chuan.” As a Marquis Godfiend, Liu Qiyue could sense Meng Chuan’s entry. She woke up and looked at Meng Chuan curiously because Meng Chuan usually practiced his saber art until dawn. He only slept once every two months.
“Qiyue.” Meng Chuan sat on the bed and stared at his wife. He excitedly said, “I’ve broken through to the Dharma Domain realm.”
“Dharma Domain realm?” Liu Qiyue was stunned for a moment before she revealed an excited expression. “Ah Chuan, your Essence Soul is already at the fourth-level. Does that mean you can become a Regis Godfiend?”
“Yes.” Meng Chuan nodded excitedly. “I’ll take a good rest and ensure I’m in peak form. I plan on breaking through to become a Regis Godfiend tomorrow night.”
“A Regis Godfiend,” exclaimed Liu Qiyue. “Our Wu State finally has a Regis Godfiend.”
It was not easy for Regis Godfiends to be born. They needed talent, resources, and luck! If they were unlucky, they might die mid-growth.
“I’ve been waiting for this day for a long time.” Meng Chuan was also very excited. “I can kill even more demon monarchs this
way.”
Liu Qiyue covered her mouth and laughed. “In the blink of an eye, Young Master Meng from Eastcalm City of yesteryear is now about to become a Regis Godfiend. You didn’t even dare to think about it back then, did you?”
Meng Chuan smiled as well. He had finally come this far after cultivating for decades.
“Most people have goals to become a Marquis Godfiend before the age of 60 and a Regis Godfiend before the age of 90. Ah Chuan, you are becoming a Regis Godfiend before the age of 60. This speed is faster than many peerless geniuses,” said Liu Qiyue in amazement. She had cast Phoenix’s Nirvana several times, expending over 30 years of her lifespan, but she was still far from becoming a Regis Godfiend.
Meng Chuan relied purely on his cultivation.
“It’s all thanks to the World Gap,” said Meng Chuan. Thanks to his observation of the purple lightning in the World Gap, he painted Fifteen Lightning Forms. This allowed him to have a clear understanding of the lightning lineage.
“You’re making the breakthrough tomorrow. You have to tell Archean Mountain in advance, right?” Liu Qiyue suddenly asked.
“Yes, becoming a Regis Godfiend is a big matter. I obviously have to report it in advance. I’ll write a letter now.” As Meng Chuan spoke, Liu Qiyue got up and put on her coat.
They went to the study. Liu Qiyue watched from the side. Meng Chuan put away the painting and wrote seriously.
Following that, the avian demon monarch envoy set off and sent the letter to Archean Mountain overnight.
…
Archean Mountain, Grotto-Heaven Pavilion.
Early in the morning, the old steward respectfully delivered a letter to Li Guan.
“Supremacy, a letter from Marquis Eastcalm,” said the old steward respectfully.
Among Archean Mountain’s many Godfiends, only a few could send letters to Supremacies directly. Meng Chuan was naturally one of them.
“A letter for me?” Li Guan was rather surprised. Meng Chuan was Qin Wu’s disciple. He typically wrote letters to Archean Mountain Lord. He seldom sent letters to Li Guan directly.
Li Guan put down the steaming teacup in his hand and picked up the letter. When he opened the letter and read the contents, he was stunned.
He stared blankly at the letter.
After a while, he blinked his eyes. Li Guan looked up at the sky, then turned his head to look at his surroundings. Snow-covered plum blossoms bloomed, emitting a fragrance.
“I’m not dreaming,” muttered Li Guan as he looked down at the letter. “Is this real?”
After a while, two illusory figures flew over. They were the embodiments of Qin Wu and Luo Tang.
“Senior Brother, why did you summon us?” Luo Tang asked.
“It’s Meng Chuan. Read it.” Li Guan handed the letter to the duo.
Qin Wu took the letter, and they read through it carefully.The duo was stunned by what they read.
“This is definitely Meng Chuan’s letter? It’s not fake?” Luo Tang couldn’t help but ask. “It’s his letter. The Quintessential Essence mark is his,” said Qin Wu as he looked at Li Guan. “Senior Brother, is Meng Chuan about to become a Regis Godfiend?”
“I’m still a little dazed,” muttered Li Guan softly. “Didn’t you say that he spent over ten years to reach the peak of the Realm of Dao even after a year in the World gap? Why is he capable of suddenly becoming a Regis Godfiend? Could he have used a treasure like the Heart Questioning Bead?”
Luo Tang was stunned. “He might not be that fast, even with the Heart Questioning Bead.”
“Peerless geniuses that can become Regis Godfiends before they are 90 years old are already impressive. Many of them only become Regis Godfiends after they are over 100 years old.” Li Guan couldn’t help but say, “This Meng Chuan is becoming a Regis Godfiend at the age of 55. Furthermore, he’s not far from attaining a fifth-level Essence Soul? Didn’t you tell me that his technique realm cultivation speed is way inferior to that of peerless geniuses?” “Previously…” Luo Tang was also in a daze. She looked at Qin Wu. “Qin Wu, as his master, didn’t you say that Meng Chuan’s technique realm cultivation speed was slow? You even wanted to let him use the Heart Questioning Bead to help him become a Regis Godfiend.”
Qin Wu stood rooted to the ground and looked at the letter in his hand. He smiled. “Meng Chuan doesn’t lie. He has indeed reached the Dharma Domain realm. Furthermore, he’s going to become a Regis Godfiend tonight! A 55-year-old Regis Godfiend who is soon going to attain a fifth-level Essence Soul? His talent is even higher than that of King Calm Sea and King True Martial. A Godfiend’s talent isn’t constant. King True Martial was also a late-bloomer! Meng Chuan’s talent has clearly transformed. His talent has become even greater than before.”
“His talent is above that of King Calm Sea and King True Martial?” Luo Tang’s eyes lit up.
“The heavens are blessing us. The heavens are blessing us,” said Li Guan happily. “Meng Chuan is good at underground reconnaissance, and his talen
t is so high. The threat of a million demon monarchs is something our three sects are vexed about. Now, we see hope of resolving it.”
Chapter 344 - Finally Becoming a Regis Godfiend
27th December. Snow fluttered everywhere.
Meng Chuan and his wife, Liu Qiyue, were in the hall. They ate snacks and drank tea as they chatted. It was rare for them to have the entire day to relax. Meng Chuan didn’t carry out underground reconnaissance because he was adjusting his body and mind to an optimal state. As for killing demon monarchs? After becoming a Regis Godfiend, he naturally could kill demon monarchs at a much faster speed.
Oh? Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue suddenly sensed something. Through the door, they saw a dark figure descending from the sky. It was Li Guan’s Essence Soul avatar.
“It’s Supremacy.” Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue immediately stood up and walked to the corridor outside the hall to welcome him.
Li Guan landed in the yard and stepped on the snow. Following that, he smiled. Two illusory figures appeared beside him. They were Qin Wu and Luo Tang.
“Greetings, Supremacies. Greetings, Master.” Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue bowed in surprise.
The couple could guess the reason for the Supremacies’ arrival. However, all three of them had arrived! It was rare for such a gathering to occur. Although Qin Wu and Luo Tang could form Essence Soul embodiments —which didn’t have any combat strengththey could only maintain nine Essence Soul embodiments at most. They needed to divert their attention for every Essence Soul embodiment so that it can function properly. Furthermore, an Essence Soul embodiment required a medium. Thus, it was very rare for the three Supremacies to come to Jiang State Capital.
“Punk, you actually managed to reach the Dharma Domain realm silently?” Qin Wu chuckled. “Your letter shocked the three of
Us.”
“I broke through after cultivating every day,” said Meng Chuan.
Luo Tang’s eyes lit up as she carefully inspected Meng Chuan. She smiled and nodded. “It’s indeed impressive for you to reach the Dharma Domain realm so quickly even when you spend most of your time carrying out underground reconnaissance.”
Li Guan smiled at Meng Chuan. “When will you enter seclusion and break through?”
“I’ll enter seclusion in a while,” said Meng Chuan.
“I’ll be your guardian,” said Li Guan with a smile. “My Essence Soul avatar only has 30 to 40 percent of my true body’s strength, but it’s enough to protect you.”
As the unspoken strongest person in the world, Li Guan was confident that his Essence Soul avatar could suppress Demon Sage Nine Abyss, much less other demon monarchs.
“Thank you, Supremacy.” Meng Chuan bowed.
“If you can resolve the one million demon monarchs’ threat, we will be the ones thanking you,” said Li Guan. “Alright, you don’t have to accompany us. Just focus on your seclusion and make a breakthrough.”
“Yes.” Meng Chuan was already prepared.
“I’ll wait for you outside.” Liu Qiyue was in a hall outside the chamber.
Meng Chuan smiled and nodded before sealing the chamber. Inside the chamber, a candle calmly burned. Meng Chuan sat cross-legged on a mat and took out a cyan jade bottle. He removed the bottle stopper and drank the contents in one gulp. The Clear Divine Water entered his body, and his Essence Soul quickly absorbed it. His Essence Soul became more ethereal, and his control over it increased greatly.
I’ve had a fourth-level Essence Soul for so many years. My Undying body should also be able to withstand the pressure during the breakthrough perfectly. It should be very easy. Meng Chuan was confident, having gleaned generations of Godfiends’ experiences.
Time to begin. The Power of Essence Soul fused with his dantian space, as well as every wisp of Darkstar Quintessential Essence within. A dark-red sphere floated in the middle of the dark dantian space. Dark-red gases swirled around it. Compared to when he had just reached the Darkstar realm, the dark-red sphere was more than ten-fold larger than before.
Due to his Undying Body, Meng Chuan’s dantian space size was the theoretical limit for Marquis Godfiends. Since ancient times, Marquis Godfiends—who had fortuitous encounters-also had dantian spaces as large as his. It was practically the maximum size the dantian space could go at the Darkstar realm! Any larger and the Darkstar would begin its breakthrough. If one’s realm wasn’t high enough when this happened, they would die!
Condense Quintessential Essence. Meng Chuan sent commands with just a thought. He infused the Power of Origins from his Grotto-Heaven Magic Bead into his dantian space and transformed it into Darkstar Quintessential Essence, causing the Darkstar to continue expanding. In such a large dantian space, the Darkstar’s volume was already at its limit. As the new Darkstar Quintessential Essence constantly fused with it, it finally broke through its limits
Boom! Boom!
The dark-red sphere rapidly shrank and collapsed.
Meng Chuan’s Power of Essence Soul fused with every part of the dark-red sphere. When it began to collapse, he used his understanding of the lightning lineage-the Flash Form of Lightning that had reached the Dharma Domain realm—to guide it!
Light! Under Meng Chuan’s lead, the Darkstar’s collapse quickened even more.
Boom!
The dark-red sphere instantly contracted by more than 10,000 times. Even his dantian couldn’t be seen.
The entire dantian space was pitch-black. Apart from the lone Grotto-Heaven Magic Bead, there was nothing else. No, strictly speaking, it wasn’t that there wasn’t anything else, but that tiny point was too small. It was so small that it couldn’t be seen with typical microscopic inner vision. This was also the reason why it was called the Seamless realm.
However, thanks to the Power of Essence Soul, he could vaguely sense its existence. It was tiny. At that moment, it rapidly collapsed before gradually stabilizing under the guidance of the Flash Form of Lightning Dharma Domain. If one’s technique realm wasn’t high enough, this tiny point would explode.
It’s beginning to stabilize. Meng Chuan could sense it.
The Dharma Domain. Only when one had high enough of a cultivation realm could they form a Dharma Domain. The Dharma Domain was also the ‘cosmic law’ responsible for this tiny point’s existence.
It’s done. He could vaguely sense that the tiny point had completely stabilized. It began to absorb external powers and spit out wisps of Quintessential Essence.
Within his dark dantian space, a source of white light suddenly appeared. Thousands of white beams of light illuminated the dantian space from the core. The closer to the core, the denser the light became, forming a light source.
The closer to the core’s periphery, the duller the light became. Only a small amount of light would sweep past this area.
Seamless Quintessential Essence. Meng Chuan was filled with joy. He knew that this beam of light came from his Seamless Quintessential Essence. It looked mild and harmless, but it was actually terrifyingly powerful. Even if one was 50 kilometers away, thousands of third Firmament demon monarchs could be killed instantly.
Every Regis Godfiend had different types of Quintessential Essence. At this stage, their Quintessential Essence was extremely pure. One’s control over their Quintessential Essence reached perfection. Although Regis Godfiends couldn’t perfectly control their bodies, they could perfectly control their Quintessential Essence.
Quintessential Essence was affected by one’s dantian space, Essence Soul, and technique realm. The larger one’s dantian space was, the more Quintessential Essence one could accumulate, causing the Seamless realm point to contract even more! The Quintessential Essence would also become purer due to this process. The stronger one’s Essence Soul was, the greater the restrictions on the point. It also allowed for greater compression of the point. The higher one’s technique realm was, the more brilliant the laws of the point would be.
When Regis Godfiends cultivated, they strived to make the Seamless realm point smaller.
When the point’s size had reached the extreme, one could form a Grotto-Heaven! When one formed a Grotto-Heaven, they would be a Creation Supremacy.
However, with different understandings, each Regis Godfiend would have different Dharma Domains. Thus, the laws governing the tiny point were different for each Godfiend. The powers the tiny point produced were also different. For example, some Regis Godfiends had dark, evil Quintessential Essence. Some Regis Godfiends had cold, blue Quintessential Essence. King True Martial had created his own True martial lineage. His Seamless Quintessential Essence was known as the Power of True Martial. It was terrifyingly powerful. Although he was a Regis Godfiend, his Quintessential Essence was in no way inferior to that of a Creation Supremacy.
Is this how strong a Regis Godfiend is? Meng Chuan naturally released his Quintessential Essence. White light shot out from his body, illuminating the chamber. Furthermore, the tiny, invisible point in his dantian constantly emitted circular waves.
The waves spread out in all directions. The waves were like ripples. After flying out of a certain range, they would return to the tiny point. This cycle went on incessantly.
A Regis Godfiend’s Seamless domain was a combination of a void domain and a wave domain.
I’ve just become a Regis Godfiend, but my Seamless domain can already reach a kilometer? Meng Chuan was secretly surprised. King True Martial’s Seamless domain can only reach 2.5 kilometers.
When using his Seamless domain, he could unleash his greatest combat strength.
In the hall.
Li Guan, Qin Wu, and Luo Tang sat together. As for Liu Qiyue, she was waiting outside the chamber.
“Every Regis Godfiend will walk their own path,” said Li Guan with a smile as he held a teacup. “I wonder what Meng Chuan will be like?”
“Qin Wu, do you wish for your disciple to be like Senior Guo Ke or Senior Ye Hong?” Luo Tang asked with a smile.
These two had extremely high accomplishments in the lightning lineage.
Qin Wu smiled and said, “At the same age, Senior Guo Ke and Senior Ye Hong had inferior achievements than that of my disciple. My disciple’s Essence Soul cultivation talent far exceeds the two seniors. It’s only been three years since he reached the peak of the Realm of Dao, yet he has now reached the Dharma Domain realm… I believe that this disciple of mine might be able to forge an unprecedented path. It’s not impossible for him to follow the lightning lineage’s strongest path.”
