“The lightning lineage’s strongest path?” Luo Tang was astonished.
“After I found out that he had broken through, I carefully investigated his experiences over the years,” said Li Guan. “I noticed something. After he came out of the World Gap, he spent over 100 million credits to read all the lightning lineage techniques in Archean Mountain. After reading so many manuals, not only did he not confuse himself, but he ended up breaking through in just three years.” Luo Tang nodded and sighed in amazement. “He didn’t end up lost even after perusing numerous ultimate techniques. He absorbed what he needed and abandoned what he didn’t. He then became a Regis Godfiend in three years. He is indeed outstanding.”
“Therefore, I believe that Meng Chuan should be free to choose any of the Archean Mountain treasures that Regis Godfiends can use,” said Li Guan. “Let him choose whatever he wants.”
“Free to choose? Are we also including what Ancestral Master Archean Eon left behind?” Qin Wu and Luo Tang looked at Li Guan in shock.
“Yes.” Li Guan nodded. “It won’t take long for him to reach the Blood Droplet realm, so we don’t even need to mention his reconnaissance abilities. When he does reach the Blood Droplet realm, his reconnaissance abilities will strengthen greatly. He alone can deal with one million demon monarchs. For this, it’s worth letting him choose any treasure. Furthermore, he’s still so young. Perhaps he can become an invincible Creation Supremacy before we reach the critical moment. Even if a World Entrance that allows demon sages to enter appears, he can deal with a large group of demon sages alone. We’ll have a chance of fending them off. That way, there’ll be no need to end the world. After all, if we end the world, we have to wipe out all living beings outside of Archean Mountain. If I want to make all treasures available to meng Chuan, both of your permissions are needed. Do both of you agree?”
Qin Wu and Luo Tang looked at each other.
“Agreed,” Luo Tang said.
Qin Wu smiled. “Agreed.”
Li Guan nodded. “Alright.”
Meng Chuan became a Regis Godfiend at the age of 55. He had a fourth-level Essence Soul as well, so the three Supremacies saw hope in him.
“Oh?” The three Supremacies sensed fluctuations spreading out.
“It’s the Seamless wave domain.” The three Supremacies looked towards the chamber. They knew that Meng Chuan had broken through
Final Chapter of Volume-King Eastcalm
Chapter 345 - Test
After exiting the chamber, Meng Chuan saw his wife.
“Ah Chuan.” Liu Qiyue stood up. She could sense that her husband’s aura was stronger. This delighted her.
Meng Chuan looked at his wife. His senses were unbelievably sharp under his Seamless domain. He could sense the lifeforce contained within his wife’s blood, heart, muscles, bones, and flesh. Her lifeforce was still strong-at its peak. However, it was on the verge of decline.
Qiyue is clearly one year younger than me, but because she has used Phoenix’s Nirvana several times, her physical body is already 90 years old. As a Marquis Godfiend, her lifeforce will begin to decline slowly after she turns 90. With time, the decline in her lifeforce will only quicken. Her chances of breaking through will become even slimmer. Meng Chuan was somewhat worried about his wife.
His wife still had hope of breaking through, but the probability of that happening diminished with time. In fact, if she cast Phoenix’s Nirvana again, she might lose all hope of becoming a Regis Godfiend.
From ages 90 to 110, the rate of decline in one’s lifeforce was very slow. One would still have over 90% chance of succeeding with the breakthrough. At 120 years of age, the success rate rapidly dropped to about 60%. At 150 years old, one’s probability of becoming a Regis Godfiend was only 10%.
His physical body cultivation system was very unique. He could maintain peak lifeforce forever. However, this cultivation system required Cosmos Crystals. One also needed to enter Archean Eon Grotto-Heaven to obtain the legacy. What one received in Archean Eon Grotto-Heaven was not determined by Qin Wu and company because it was left behind by Ancestral Master Archean Eon.
“Why are you looking at me like this?” Liu Qiyue looked at her husband and smiled understandingly. “It’s said that one can see the true age of others at a glance with the Seamless domain. You realized that my body is already 90 years old? Don’t worry. I can sense that I’m getting closer and closer to the Dharma Domain realm after cultivating Phoenix Flight and my previous use of Phoenix’s Nirvana. I might break through in a few months.”
“Yea.” Meng Chuan nodded.
Besides reaching the Dharma Domain realm, one also needed a third-level Essence Soul before they could become a Regis Godfiend. He hoped for his wife to become a Regis Godfiend. Only then would he be able to fight alongside his wife for a longer period of time. He didn’t want to walk the demon-slaying path alone.
The couple walked out together. The three Supremacies in the distant hall looked over with a smile.
“Supremacies, Master.” Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue bowed.
“Meng Chuan, congratulations,” said Qin Wu with a smile. “After becoming a Regis Godfiend, you have joined the ranks of the strongest humans in the world.”
The illusory Luo Tang also said, “Regis Godfiends all have their own strengths. For example, King Desire Redemption’s illusions and King Luyue’s poison-refining techniques are the strongest in Archean Mountain. King True Martial’s Power of True Martial is also unique. It’s common for Regis Godfiends to be capable of fighting Creation Supremacies In history, there have been eras where Regis Godfiends reigned supreme.”
Meng Chuan nodded. There were very few Regis Godfiends in the world. Archean Mountain only had 14 Regis Godfiends. Meng Chuan was the 15th Regis Godfiend of this era.
“You should have something you are good at.” Li Guan took a step and left the hall. He flew into the sky and said, “Meng Chuan, attack me with all your might. I will only block. Let me see your strength.”
Luo Tang and Qin Wu looked at Meng Chuan expectantly.
“Yes, Supremacy.” Meng Chuan took a step out of the hall and flew into the sky.
“Let’s take a look too.” Qin Wu, Luo Tang, and Liu Qiyue flew into the sky and watched from the side.
In the night sky, Meng Chuan and Li Guan’s Essence Soul avatar faced each other from afar.
An Essence Soul avatar can carry Quintessential Essence, but it is expended forever when it is used. Meng Chuan understood this point. However, with Supremacy Li Guan’s realm, his strength far exceeds mine, even if he only uses the Heaven and Earth powers. Just a single Essence Soul mystic technique from him can severely injure me.
Meng Chuan’s Essence Soul was at the fourth level, while Li Guan’s Essence Soul was at the sixth level.
The difference of two levels…
If Meng Chuan met Li Guan’s Essence Soul mystic techniques, he would barely remain lucid. It would be pretty good if he could unleash 20 to 30 percent of his strength under such circumstances.
However, Li Guan was, unspokenly, the strongest person in the human world. He wouldn’t do that. He had already said that he would only block.
“Supremacy, take this,” said Meng Chuan. Meng Chuan’s Seamless domain had a radius of one kilometer. Within this domain, his strength was augmented substantially. His saber’s might could increase by 30%. The enemy would also be suppressed by various things when within the Seamless domain. It was normal for an enemy’s strength to decrease by 30% when they were within the Seamless domain.
As such, his domain could strengthen himself while suppressing his enemies. In battle, one’s strength would be doubled with such a domain.
Li Guan’s Essence Soul avatar only had 30 to 40 percent of his true body’s strength. One important reason for this decrease in strength was because his true body had a Grotto-Heaven Domain. The Grotto-Heaven domain was much more powerful and domineering than the Seamless domain. The Godfiend cultivation system was connected.
One started with a Darkstar domain, the Seamless domain would come next, which would then turn into the Grotto-Heaven domain.
Sensing his Seamless domain everywhere, as though he was viewing his territory, Meng Chuan instantly drew his saber!
The saber was unsheathed!
Seamless Quintessential Essence was extremely pure. Wisps of white Quintessential Essence fused with Demon Slayer, causing the saber to transform into a dazzling bolt of lightning instantly. After the saber’s speed rose to a terrifying level, its might was extremely terrifying. It was like a 100,000-foot-tall mountain was compressed within the saber.
With a flash of lightning, the terrifying strike gently sliced through the distorted void. It instantly appeared in front of Li Guan, attempting to cleave him in half.
Pfft.
Li Guan extended his right hand and blocked the blade in front of his throat, causing the blade to come to a halt. Li Guan’s impact with Demon Slayer caused Meng Chuan’s body to tremble. His organs were injured, but his body instantly recovered.
Li Guan looked at Meng Chuan with approval. “What a fast strike. Again.” “Again.” Meng Chuan was somewhat indignant as he continued attacking.
His saber was terrifyingly fast. However, Li Guan was even more terrifying. When the saber beam sliced through the void, it was blocked by an illusory palm.
Supremacy Li Guan simultaneously blocked and retreated until he was 1.25 kilometers away…
After exiting his Seamless domain, Meng Chuan’s saber’s speed decreased, but the strike still managed to reach Li Guan. His saber could reach anywhere within 1.5 kilometers instantly.
After retreating more than 1.5 kilometers, Li Guan nodded slightly. “Alright, we can stop now.”
“I was completely suppressed.” Meng Chuan clearly felt that he was now much stronger. However, he was still completely suppressed.
“Haha, don’t be discouraged,” said Qin Wu with a smile. “Your Uncle-Master Li’s realm should be the highest in the human world. You have just become a Regis Godfiend, so he can easily tease you.”
Li Guan flew over and said with a smile, “You aren’t bad. Your saber art didn’t follow the Heart Intent Saber or the World Roving Dragon Saber. It pursues extreme speed? Your saber art is also very powerful. Just its might alone is barely comparable to a peak Regis Godfiend’s attack.”
Liu Qiyue’s eyes lit up when she heard that. Meng Chuan listened carefully.
“Don’t count your chickens too early,” said Li Guan. “Godfiends all have different strengths. Your saber art is focused on speed and strength. However, you have lost variability It’s very easy to predict your attack trajectory, which is why I easily intercepted them time and time again. Some Regis Godfiends might not be as powerful as you, but they have many attack variations. They are also stronger than you in direct combat.”
“Understood.” Meng Chuan nodded. He cultivated the Cloud Dragon Snake Movement Technique—which was the second saber art that he created. It had many attack variations and was an extremely flexible saber art. However, it hadn’t reached the Dharma Domain realm yet. The combination of the two saber arts would be his future combat style. “All you need to do is continue down this path,” said Qin Wu. “You can also be very powerful by going to the limits of a path. You just need to make your saber faster and faster… When it reaches a certain speed, your Uncle-Master Li will probably not be able to stop it.”
Li Guan smiled. “Use your full strength to show me your speed.”
Qin Wu and Luo Tang also watched carefully.
Meng Chuan’s speed was very important. The faster he could conduct reconnaissance underground, the more efficient he would be at killing demon monarchs.
Meng Chuan nodded. “Yes.” Sensing his surroundings with the Seamless domain, wisps of Seamless Quintessential Essence flowed through his meridians and covered his body. Meng Chuan felt like a bolt of lightning.
Swoosh. Meng Chuan instantly transformed into a beam of light that streaked across the sky.
At this moment, Meng Chuan finally understood what it meant to be shackled by the world! He had encountered a powerful resistance from the world.
Li Guan, Qin Wu, and Luo Tang stared at the beam of light that streaked across the night sky. Their eyes widened as they looked at each other.
Chapter 346 - Freely Choosing from the Treasure Vault
Meng Chuan transformed into a beam of light and flew through the air.
With such astonishing speed, time and space began to change. However, the entire world suppressed everything, maintaining the stability of spacetime.
This is the suppression of the world? Meng Chuan flew. Under such speed, invisible restraints wrapped around Meng Chuan like countless threads pulling him. However, he couldn’t sense any strength coming from it. This was the suppression of the laws of the world. In a world, one had to follow its laws.
No human Godfiend that cultivated the lightning lineage Flash Form of Lightning’s essence has broken through the shackles of the world. None of them have reached the Grotto-Heaven realm while taking this path. However, I want to give it a try. Meng Chuan was very calm. Anyway, I also cultivate the Infinite Saber and the Cloud Dragon Snake Movement Technique.
He wasn’t stubborn about sticking to a path. He was more used to multifaceted preparations. Most of his attention was focused on the Infinite Saber because having greater speed could make him more useful during wartime.
From a painter’s point of view, Meng Chuan preferred the Cloud Dragon Snake Movement Technique. This movement technique was like a brush, and it used the world as its canvas.
Whoosh.
He swooped down from the sky and instantly burrowed underground. He advanced at high speeds underground.
Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!
The rocks and soil were easily parted. Meng Chuan flew extremely fast. Compared to the worldly laws’ suppression, the soil and rocks have less influence on my speed. Meng Chuan flew underground for a few seconds and was rather satisfied.
The worldly laws induced the world’s suppression upon Meng Chuan due to his terrifying speed that could affect time and space. Mud and rock were real objects. His Seamless domain could easily part the rocks and soil, so it only affected his speed slightly. He could still maintain 80% of his maximum speed underground.
Swoosh.
Meng Chuan broke through the surface and saw the distant Jiang State Capital. He quickly streaked across the sky and returned to where he had sparred Li guan. The three Supremacies and Liu Qiyue were still waiting here.
“You sure are fast.” The illusory Qin Wu sighed in amazement. “You’ve just become a Regis Godfiend, yet you can travel 29 kilometers in a second. Compared to other Lightning Devastator Fiend Body Regis Godfiends in history, you’re much faster. They usually travel about 15 kilometers in a second.”
Luo Tang smiled. “Everybody takes a different path. Some of those Regis Godfiends cultivated the Heart Intent Saber, some cultivated the World Roving Dragon Saber, and some created their own ultimate techniques. Meng Chuan pursues speed to the extreme. This speed… Senior Brother Li, even if you use your Essence Soul to travel, it’s far inferior to Meng Chuan.”
Essence Souls didn’t have physical shackles. They usually traveled faster.
“Any Lightning Devastator Fiend Body Regis Godfiend is faster than me,” said Li Guan with a smile. “We don’t even need to discuss Meng Chuan.”
“I’m still far from it,” said Meng Chuan humbly.
Senior Ye Hong, who created the World Roving Dragon Saber, could instantly split into 81 embodiments within a 50-kilometer radius. Any one of them could become Ye Hong’s true body at any moment. In terms of traveling, they could teleport anywhere within 50 kilometers. In a flash, Senior Ye Hong could probably teleport through the void twice or even thrice—that was roughly 100-150 kilometers.
Senior Ye Hong did not pursue speed, but he far exceeded Meng Chuan. There was no need to mention Senior Guo Ke. His final saber move
had reached the Imperial Lord level. One couldn’t even see his saber strike. His speed was much more terrifying than that of Senior Ye Hong.
Meng Chuan was indeed far inferior.
“You tried traveling underground, right?” asked Qin Wu. “How long will it take you to scan all of the Great Zhou Dynasty?”
“I’ve already swept more than half of it in the past few years,” said Meng Chuan. “I’ll be able to finish the sweep within a year. Even if I redo the sweep from the beginning, two years is enough.”
Qin Wu, Luo Tang, and Li Guan were delighted when they heard that. This speed was certainly fast enough. “Liu Qiyue, go back and rest first.” Li Guan turned to look at Liu Qiyue. “Meng Chuan needs to make a trip to Archean Mountain. He will probably take a few months to return.”
An
“A few months?” Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue were puzzled.
“Yes,” replied Liu Qiyue obediently.
Luo Tang and Qin Wu smiled before they dissipated. “Set off now,” instructed Li Guan. “Yes.” Although Meng Chuan was puzzled, he still transformed into a beam of light and headed straight for Archean Mountain. His Seamless domain naturally isolated all forms of reconnaissance. Even at close range, he couldn’t be seen.
…
That night, Meng Chuan arrived at Archean Mountain’s Grotto-Heaven Pavilion.
“Follow us.” Li Guan, an illusory Qin Wu, and an illusory Luo Tang led Meng Chuan into an ordinary room in Grotto-Heaven Pavilion’s backyard.
They pushed open the door. It was a very ordinary room. There was a wall in the middle of the room. A painting of a black-robed man hung on the wall.
