Archean Eon Art c1-766

Meng Chuan was also very clear-headed and wasn’t conceited. However, I need to absorb what suits me the best. I don’t have to follow the exact same path as that Tribulation Eminence. Instead, I can reference the parts that are suitable for me. For example, I’ve referenced the Flash Form of Lightning, Nine Heavenly Forms of the Void, Yin-Yang Form of Lightning, and Roving Dragon Form of Lightning. That Tribulation Eminence’s accomplishments in the lightning lineage probably far exceed any senior in the human world.
Although Ancestral Master Archean Eon was also a Seventh Tribulation Eminence, Meng Chuan could tell that Ancestral Master Archean Eon hadn’t focused on the lightning lineage from what he had seen of the Samsara Spear Technique.
At the very least, this Bloodblade Disc’s runic array formation allows me to see how I should break through the world’s shackles with the Flash Form of Lightning’s essence. It also guides me with my path towards the Grotto-Heaven realm. Meng Chuan was very glad that he had chosen the Bloodblade Disc. Although the two other Tribulation treasures might be more powerful, they might not have provided the guidance necessary for a disciple to proceed on their cultivation path. The Bloodblade Disc went from simple concepts to more profound ones.
No wonder nobody in the human world has broken free of the world shackles from ancient times to now. It’ll still be extremely difficult to break free of the world shackles with the Flash Form of Lightning, even if I follow this senior’s understanding of the lightning lineage. However, once I master it, I’ll probably be stronger than King True Martial and his Power of True martial. Meng Chuan inspected the vast runic array formation in the Bloodblade Disc. Back then, Grandsire Yin Yang was very powerful when he had just reached the Grotto-Heaven realm. King True Martial had taken Grandsire Yin Yang’s foundation and improved it a step further! By building upon that Seventh Tribulation Eminence’s insights, Meng Chuan’s future path would be even more brilliant!
Obtaining the Bloodblade Disc is as good as obtaining a master. Delighted, Meng Chuan carefully studied the Bloodblade Disc’s mysteries.
Jiang State Capital.
After the new year, spring gradually arrived. The peach blossoms in the courtyard began to bloom as bees came to collect nectar.
Liu Qiyue stood in front of a peach blossom tree and smelled the flowers’ fragrance. She watched a few buzzing bees fly around the peach blossoms.
Ah Chuan hasn’t returned yet. I wonder how many months he will take. Liu Qiyue smiled. If he knew that I reached the Dharma Domain realm, he would definitely be very happy.
Yes. Liu Qiyue had finally broken through to the Dharma Domain realm. In fact, she had reached the peak of the Realm of Dao earlier than Meng Chuan. After she obtained Phoenix Flight from Meng Chuan, she realized the direction she had to head towards so that she could break through! During her cultivation, she also cast Phoenix’s Nirvana once so that she could protect the city. When she underwent nirvana, she had an epiphany. She gained more insights into the Dharma Domain realm. After several years of cultivation, she finally reached the Dharma Domain realm in early spring.
However, one needs a third-level Essence Soul if they wish to become a Regis Godfiend. I’ve been a Marquis Godfiend for many years. I’ve also cast Phoenix’s Nirvana several times. When will I attain a third-level Essence Soul? Liu Qiyue ruminated on her cultivation.
To become a Regis Godfiend, there were requirements on one’s age, technique realm, and Essence Soul.
Liu Qiyue didn’t know when she would obtain a third-level Essence Soul.
Meng Chuan sat cross-legged in the square in front of the hall. The Bloodblade Disc floated in front of him.
“Go.”With a thought,
Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!
The Bloodblades instantly transformed into bolts of lightning as they shot forward at high speeds. They were faster than Meng Chuan’s saber, and their might was even more terrifying. In midair, he could only see dazzling lightning. However, Meng Chuan could clearly sense the 18 Bloodblades forming a line. In an instant, they struck a spot in the far distance, tearing it apart. He saw gray chains sealing the outside world. “You actually managed to tear through a Grotto-Heaven membrane wall.” An illusory figure walked out of the hall; it was Qin Wu. He exclaimed, “This strike of yours has the strength of a weak Creation Supremacy.”
“I only managed to unleash such strength thanks to the Bloodblade Disc,” said Meng Chuan with a smile. Meng Chuan had gained quite a bit of insight from studying the flying runic array over the past few days. He had improved greatly in the Flash Form of Lightning “A Tribulation Eminence’s treasure is still a treasure.” The illusory Qin Wu shook his head. “How much of a treasure’s might one can utilize is dependent on the individual. You can unleash such strength because your perception is high.” Meng Chuan smiled and said, “Master, I’ve already gained basic mastery of the Bloodblade Disc. It’s time for me to leave.”
“There’s no need to rush those few months,” said Qin Wu seriously. “You are part of humanity’s hope in dealing with one million demon monarchs. It concerns our hope of winning the war. It’s best you study this treasure more.”
“I know, but I’ve been here for more than three months. If I want to unleash more of the Bloodblade Disc’s might, I’ll need to make a breakthrough in my technique realm,” said Meng Chuan. “It’s likely that it’ll take me three to ten years. Therefore, I’d rather leave sooner than later.”
Qin Wu looked at Meng Chuan and nodded with a smile. “Alright, be careful when you are out.”
With Clear Sky and the protective stone talisman, Archean Mountain was confident in Meng Chuan’s safety. Furthermore, Meng Chuan wasn’t weak.
Chapter 351 - Mask
Archean Mountain, Grotto-Heaven Pavilion’s backyard.
It was still an ordinary-looking room. Two tiny black dots flew out from the painting hanging on the wall. They grew larger and larger; they were Qin Wu and Meng Chuan.
Ancestral Master Archean Eon’s control over space reached an unimaginable level. Meng Chuan turned his head and looked at the painting in admiration.
If this era had an expert like Ancestral Master Archean Eon, the demons would be simply courting death if they dared to invade. Unfortunately, although the human race had a long history, Ancestral Master Archean Eon was the only one that had truly shocked many worlds.
“Meng Chuan.” Li Guan pushed open the door and walked in.
Meng Chuan bowed. “Supremacy.”
“Your current speed far exceeds your past speed when using the Bloodblade Disc,” said Li Guan. “I’m afraid that you’ll sweep through the underground demon monarchs in our Great Zhou Dynasty in a few months.”
Meng Chuan nodded. In the past few years, he had perused more than half of the lightning lineage manuals. He was bound to be much faster in the near future.
“Although you were fast, you only slaughtered tens of thousands of demon monarchs in a year. Although the demons searched everywhere for your identity, you didn’t pose a serious threat,” said Li Guan. “With your current speed, you can sweep through everywhere under the three dynasties in three to four years. Every year, you will be slaughtering hundreds of thousands of demon monarchs! The demons will definitely go crazy. “The demon world has a much longer history than ours. Although they have never produced an expert like Ancestral Master Archean Eon, there are at least several Imperial Lords in every era. In history, the demons have given birth to ten experts at the Fifth Tribulation or Sixth Tribulation realm. The demon world also has extremely rich heritage. If they aren’t hesitant to pay any price, I believe they will have a way to find out your true identity.” Li Guan looked at Meng Chuan.
Meng Chuan’s heart tightened. The more he knew, the more he understood the foundation of a powerful world. The demons couldn’t do much only because they were separated by a world.
“Therefore, after you leave, you have to be more careful about keeping your identity a secret.” Li Guan f
lipped his hand and took out a gray mask. “This is a rare treasure, Mask of Illusion. It’s used to conceal one’s identity. It can shield you from detection and disguise your aura. Even an Imperial Lord will find it difficult to break through its obstruction and probe your true appearance. Whenever you are carrying out your mission, wear it.”
“Yes.” Meng Chuan nodded. He knew very well how powerful mighty figures were. The Seamless domain could probe one’s lifespan and allow them to sense grudges. What if it were a more brilliant technique?
If he revealed himself and used his full strength, the demons might discover his true identity.
“With this mask, you can provide reinforcements everywhere.” Li Guan sighed. “The ordinary demon monarchs attack various cities every month. Fourth Firmament demon monarch teams and fifth Firmament demon monarchs occasionally ambush our Godfiends. Occasionally, Marquis Godfiends will die. Your current speed is even more impressive than before. You are the most suitable person for rescuing them.”
“Understood.” Meng Chuan nodded and received the gray mask. He easily controlled the gray mask with his Quintessential Essence and gently put it on his face.
His aura immediately changed. His expression turned colder. Even Meng Chuan’s hair had turned white.
“Haha, these strands of white hair are quite interesting,” said Qin Wu with a smile. “Godfiends have rather long lifespans. They can typically maintain their youthful looks for years. Only when they reach a certain age will they be unable to control their aging appearance. That’s when their hair begins to turn white. With these strands of white hair, the demons will believe that you are an ancient Regis Godfiend.”
For example, Fairy Meng originally had the appearance of a middle-aged woman. She only appeared aged after being severely injured. For a Godfiend’s hair to turn white? A Godfiend would have to be rather old. Regis Godfiends had to be 400 years old before this happened.
“Very good.” Li Guan nodded in approval.
“Then, I’ll take my leave first.” Meng Chuan bowed to the two Supremacies.
“We have kept the news of you becoming a Regis Godfiend a secret. You also have to keep it a secret,” exhorted Li Guan. “Alright, go.”
Meng Chuan nodded and walked out of the room. He transformed into a beam of light and quickly left Archean Mountain.
At the door, Li Guan and Qin Wu looked into the distance.
“It’s up to Meng Chuan to deal with the million demon monarchs,” said Li Guan.
“With what he has shown from his cultivation, he might bring us more surprises. For example, he may become an invincible Creation Supremacy,” said Qin Wu with anticipation.
“He hasn’t even reached the Creation realm. He’s far from being an invincible Creation Supremacy,” said Li Guan with a smile. “As for you, Junior Brother Qin, if you can progress another two steps, you can be considered invincible in the Creation realm.”
“Difficult.” Qin Wu only said one word.
Invincible at the Creation realm? That was what Grandsire Yin Yang had achieved at his peak. Of course, if an Imperial Lord or an expert with an eighth-level Essence Soul appeared, the war would end completely. However, these two things were even more difficult to achieve.
Meng Chuan returned to Jiang State Capital first.
Swoosh.
When Meng Chuan landed in the small courtyard, his Seamless domain sensed Liu Qiyue—who was cultivating Phoenix Flight. His wife had shielded herself from probing, but he could easily detect her with the Seamless domain.
“Ah Chuan.” Liu Qiyue streaked across the sky and landed in the courtyard, her face filled with delight.
“Your movement technique…” Meng Chuan was somewhat shocked. When his wife flew through the sky, her trajectory carried a stunning beauty. “Qiyue, you broke through?”
In the past, he had often seen his wife cultivate Phoenix Flight, but it was far inferior to her current standard.
Liu Qiyue nodded with a smile. “Yes.” “Dharma Domain realm?” Meng Chuan’s eyes lit up.
“That’s right. It’s all thanks to the Phoenix Flight you gave me. This is definitely the most suitable technique for a Phoenix Divine Body Godfiend,” said Liu Qiyue.
“That’s great. As long as your Essence Soul breaks through, you will become a Regis Godfiend.” Meng Chuan was rather excited. If his wife became a Regis Godfiend, it meant that she could live for 500 years. As a Regis Godfiend, her normal strength would be enough to deal with most problems. It would be unlikely for her to be forced to cast Phoenix’s Nirvana when the demons attacked the city. “I can’t rush an Essence Soul breakthrough. By the way, Ah Chuan, Archean Mountain sent me a letter and asked me to keep your Regis Godfiend status a secret. It won’t be publicly announced,” said Liu Qiyue. “I have to keep a low profile,” said Meng Chuan. “This is because I will kill more underground demon monarchs. The demons will be more anxious, and they’ll use any means to discover my identity.”
Liu Qiyue nodded and smiled. “I’ll prepare some food for you.”
“Alright, I haven’t eaten a single bite in the past three months. I’ve long been craving for some food,” said Meng Chuan with a smile.
After a sumptuous meal, the couple chatted for an hour.
“Are you going out today?” asked Liu Qiyue.
“It’s already past noon,” said Meng Chuan. “I’ll head out to hunt for six hours before returning.”
“Be careful,” instructed Liu Qiyue. “Don’t worry.” Meng Chuan smiled and disappeared in a second.
When wearing the Mask of Illusion, Meng Chuan’s hair was white. He rode the Bloodblade Disc underground as he hunted down demon monarchs.
Swoosh.
A beam of light traveled underground.
With the Bloodblade Disc, the soil and rocks had a lower impact on Meng Chuan’s speed. The impact on his speed was almost negligible. In fact, it was the world’s suppression that affected his speed the most. Meng Chuan maintained a speed of 55 kilometers per flash underground. He could travel from the Great Zhou Dynasty’s south to the north in less than 300 seconds; he could do the same from east to west.
After scanning one area over and over again, he conducted a blanket search on 95% of the land at the same depth.
Once Meng Chuan discovered a demon lair within 1.5 kilometers of him, his Quintessential Essence threads easily killed any third Firmament demon monarch within his Seamless domain.
He carried out his underground reconnaissance non-stop. Although the demon monarch lairs were located at different depths underground, there were plenty of demon monarchs to be found. He finished six hours of reconnaissance. I killed 433 demon monarchs. Meng Chuan flew out from the ground and looked down as he flew all the way to Jiang State Capital. Meng Chuan summed up his harvests as he traveled through the dark sky.
If I can kill so many in half of a day’s work, I should be able to kill 800 demon monarchs a day. Meng Chuan nodded inwardly. That should be about 200,000 to 300,000 demon monarchs a year. I’ll kill all the demon monarchs in the three dynasties in three to four years. It’s about what I expected. The Supremacies are right. The demons will definitely become anxious soon.
Chapter 352 - Spacetime Dominion Map
In a cave amidst the vast mountains.
A middle-aged sloppy man sat cross-legged. He placed a spear against a wall to his side. He had been cultivating for a long time with his eyes closed. Finally, he opened his eyes and walked to the cave entrance to look around.
His name was Mao Feng. He was a Great Solar Godfiend from Archean Mountain. He was in charge of patrolling the surrounding 150 kilometers. Of course, he also had two demon servants as part of his team.
Everything seems peaceful today. Mao Feng picked up the gourd from his waist and took a sip of alcohol carefully. He unwillingly stuffed the bottle stopper back. “I only have half of a gourd left out of the three gourds of alcohol I brought. I need to conserve it. It will take half a month for Earth Net’s brot
hers to deliver another supply.”
Huh? Mao Feng suddenly sensed something and took out his token. A spot lit up on the token.
Demon monarch. Mao Feng turned around and picked up his spear. He ignored his living essentials in the cave and jumped out of the mountain cave. He descended from a quarter-kilometer height before rushing through the mountain forest.
Elsewhere, an armored ape demon servant took out its token and quickly rushed towards an unknown location.
Whoosh. A cyan-feathered bird spread its wings and flew towards its target.
A Patroller Godfiend and two demon servants were in charge of this region. They supported each other to reduce casualties.
Moments later, an elephant demon monarch’s corpse laid on the ground. A bloody hole had been pierced through its head. Mao Feng sat on the elephant demon monarch’s massive corpse and took a sip of alcohol happily. He looked at the cyan-clothed female avian demon monarch beside him and said with a smile, “Beauty Qing, you are really afraid of death. You discovered this elephant demon monarch ahead of time, but you didn’t dare to attack.” The cyan-clothed demoness snorted. “This is a third Firmament elephant demon. An elephant demon has immense strength and thick hide. I’m just an ordinary third Firmament bird. If I were to fight it head-on, I’m afraid it would have torn me to pieces long ago. I circled high in the sky and deliberately attracted its attention. I made it kill fewer people. Without me, I’m afraid dozens of people would have died.”
“Sister Qing, you are sharp with your words. It looks like battles still require Trispear Mao and me,” said an ape demon servant with a smile. “Thankfully, we came quickly this time. If we let it continue, it would have stormed into the village that houses hundreds of people ahead. Hundreds would have died. Trispear Mao, your spear arts are getting stronger.”
