Archean Eon Art c1-766
Page 198
Only the Thirteen Swordbanes could kill distant enemies extremely quickly. Swordbanes were not corporeal objects; this allowed them to be extremely fast. However, the Thirteen Swordbane Fiend Body was also deemed to be the strongest Godfiend body in one-on-one combat. In terms of killing enemies, it was superior to even Ancestral Master Archean Eon’s Samsara Divine Body.
Since he needed to keep his identity a secret, he naturally had to hide everything about him, even if they were friendlies! With the Mask of Illusion disguising his aura and appearance, Meng Chuan wasn’t worried that anyone would recognize him. He had the intention to disguise his Bloodblade Disc as the Thirteen Swordbanes. In the past, Meng Chuan was rather envious of the Thirteen Swordbane Fiend Body’s means. However, he didn’t think too much of it. Who would’ve thought that he would experience what using the Thirteen Swordbanes were like after obtaining a Tribulation Treasure?
The Bloodblades was as fast as lightning, and he could use them to attack from afar.
“Senior Sister.”
“Senior Sister, who’s that Regis Godfiend? I don’t think I’ve seen him before?” The other two Marquis Godfiends finally flew closer. One of them even delivered Marchioness Mooncherish’s sword to her.
“I haven’t seen him either. He should be an ancient Godfiend of Archean Mountain,” said Marchioness Mooncherish as she took the sword.
In a hall on Archean Mountain. Li Guan, Qin Wu, and Luo Tang looked at the huge map on the wall of the hall. When the red spot at Yushang City turned into a colorful light, the three of them heaved a sigh of relief.
“They won.”“Great victory, great victory.” The other Godfiends in front of the palace wall were extremely excited. Only if the Godfiend that requested help survived the crisis would it turn into a green spot. A colorful light represented a great victory!
Li Guan and company didn’t lose their composure.
“Meng Chuan managed to reach the city in time,” said Luo Tang with a smile. “His speed is terrifying now. I knew he would definitely arrive in time.”
“Mooncherish survived as well.” Qin Wu revealed a happy smile.
Li Guan smiled and nodded.
Very few fifth Firmament demon monarchs came to the human world. Therefore, Demon Sage Nine Abyss paid lots of attention to any fifth Firmament demon monarch that died in battle.
Deep in the sea, inside a small grotto-heaven.
“The Godfiend that killed Greater Demon Monarch Mo Yi is suspected to be a Regis Godfiend that cultivates the Thirteen Swordbane Fiend Body?” Demon Sage Nine Abyss read through the dossier and before looking up at the black-robed North Sense.
Chapter 356 - Cloud Dragon Snake Movement Technique
“Back then, many third Firmament demon monarchs saw that the reinforcement Godfiend appeared 50 kilometers away from Demon Monarch Mo Yi outside Yushang City,” said the black-robed North Sense. “He attacked from over 50 kilometers away, but Demon Monarch Mo Yi failed to dodge in time. The attacks were clearly swift. This is very similar to the Thirteen Swordbanes.
“According to the Skydemon Sect’s intelligence and the information I obtained from Archean Mountain Godfiends, there’s a 90% chance that he’s a Regis Godfiend with the Thirteen Swordbane Fiend Body. Other possibilities take up the final ten percent. As for who he is? We don’t know. We can only guess that he’s an ancient Godfiend that has awakened,” said the black-robed North Sense.
Demon Sage Nine Abyss nodded gently after reading the dossier. “This Godfiend is extremely powerful. He might be a peak Thirteen Swordbane Fiend Body Regis Godfiend. He might have the strength of a weak Creation realm expert. Put more effort into collecting information about him.”
The black-robed North Sense nodded.
Demons found many Godfiends difficult to deal with. King True Martial, King Transcendence, and other Regis Godfiends already had the strength of a weak Creation realm expert. There were even more if one included the ancient Regis Godfiend that had awakened. In addition, there were nine Creation Supremacies! Bai Yaoyue, Qin Wu, and Li Guan were especially terrifying. Bai Yaoyue cultivated the mysterious Grand Yin cultivation system that came from the outer realm. Qin Wu was a Creation Supremacy that cultivated the Thirteen Swordbane Fiend Body. Furthermore, back when Qin Wu was a Regis Godfiend, he could fight experts that were one cultivation realm above him. Li Guan cultivated Archean Mountain’s core ultimate technique.
The demons were afraid of many human experts. They were long used to it. An additional person was only a passing remark in their dossiers. This was because the difference in strength between the top powers was huge.
Demon Sage Nine Abyss had always been careful! Unless necessary, he never took any risk.
After all, even in the Demon Realm, he was only average among the many demon sages. He couldn’t even enter the top ten. He didn’t have the confidence to deal with the top Creation Supremacies.
“By the way, the Imperial Lords delivered the Three Terminal Formation a few days ago. Any progress on studying it over the past few days? When can you set up the trap?” asked Demon Sage Nine Abyss. He would not participate in the ambush. He was a cornerstone of the demons in the human world! He had to deploy a large number of fourth and fifth Firmament demon monarchs. It was impossible for him to wait for a few months…
If the humans discovered him, and Demon Sage Nine Abyss ended up dead, it would be much more troublesome for the demons to make future arrangements.
“The Three Terminal Formation is too complicated. We still need half a month,” said the black-robed North Sense.
“Lay the ambush in the Great Zhou Dynasty as soon as possible,” said Demon Sage Nine Abyss. “Demon monarchs are being slaughtered every day. Many sharp demon monarchs have moved to the other dynasties.”
“Don’t worry. We’ve already made sufficient preparations. Nine Abyss, you know the details of the plan. As long as we discover that mysterious Godfiend, he’s dead,” said the black-robed North Sense.
Demon Sage Nine Abyss nodded slightly. “Yellow Oscillate has the strength of a newly-advanced Creation realm expert. With you and Longswim working together, it’s almost impossible for a Regis Godfiend to survive the might of the Three Terminal Formation. However, the human race has an extremely rich heritage. After all, it’s Ancestral Master Archean Eon’s homeworld. I’m afraid he might have left the humans some unknown life-preservation means.”
“Therefore, we will also keep our final trump card up our sleeve,” said the black-robed North Sense.
“Let’s hope we don’t have to use it.” Demon Sage Nine Abyss nodded. “If we do use it, the price we pay will be even greater.” “As long as we can kill him, it will be worth it. If we report this plan to the Imperial Lords, the Imperial Lords will agree to it,” said the black-robed North Sense.
After successfully saving Marchioness Mooncherish, Meng Chuan enjoyed a good mood for the next few days.
The crescent moon hung in the sky like a hook. The summer night was rather cool. Under the moonlight, Meng Chuan transformed into an illusory figure. He used his movement technique to his heart’s content. His movement technique was dreamlike. He would occasionally appear right in front of something, and at other times, he would leave behind illusory shadows.
Every night, Meng Chuan would focus on cultivating the Cloud Dragon Snake Movement Technique. This movement technique really made Meng Chuan feel like he was painting. Meng Chuan was intoxicated by the unrestrained and carefree feeling.
Some were reserved, some were unrestrained, some were close, some were far away…
His body was a brush that wandered the void.
Occasionally, Meng Chuan would teleport half a kilometer away. This short-distance teleportation didn’t mean much to Meng Chuan. After all, powerful Godfiends could instantly kill things within a few kilometers of them. His movement technique was even faster than teleportation! It took time to teleport from one spot to another. In a flash, he could teleport three times.
Huh? Meng Chuan, who was cultivating his movement technique, suddenly felt inspired. Nine Meng Chuans appeared in the world at the same time. These nine Meng Chuans seemed real, but they were all fake.
He had long reached the peak of the Realm of Dao with the Cloud Dragon Snake Movement Technique. He had even laid out the foundation of his self-created movement technique. In addition, he had gained more insight into the Nine Heavenly Forms of the Void and Yin-Yang Form of Lightning.
On this summer night, Meng Chuan’s Cloud Dragon Snake Movement Technique had reached the Dharma Domain realm.
This feeling is amazing. Meng Chuan was somewhat intoxicated as he used his movement technique to travel through a void fluctuation. King True Martial once said that spacetime is like a thousand-layered cake.
I’m currently traveling through one layer of the thousand-layered cake? My true body is moving through this special void fluctuation while nine embodiments are reflected in the normal spacetime? Meng Chuan came to a realization. When I move through this layer, the nine embodiments in the outside world will also move. I can choose to appear at any of my embodiments’ locations.
The embodiments aren’t my true body. However, as long as I’m willing, any embodiment can become the true body. Meng Chuan was filled with joy. He was naturally happy that he had succeeded in his cultivation.
The Infinite Saber pursued extreme speed; its movement technique was simply a beam of light. It was terrifyingly fast.
The Cloud Dragon Snake Movement Technique was a movement technique and a saber technique. This movement technique was slightly slower than that of the Infinite Saber—he could only move 25 kilometers in a second, but it was more unpredictable and had more variations. He could enter deeper void layers with this movement technique.
According to the introduction of the World Roving Dragon Saber, one would have three embodiments when they reached the Dharma Domain realm. The Cloud Dragon Snake Movement Technique fused with Yin-Yang Form of Lightning’s essence on top of its original foundation. With many Yin-Yang transformations occurring, I can produce nine embodiments at once.
The Cloud Dragon Snake Movement Technique makes up for my weakness. It’s much stronger in a head-on battle.Although I was pretty fast previously, my movements didn’t vary much. It’s naturally easy to kill a fifth Firmament demon monarch like Mo Yi.However, if I were to encounter someone that similarly had the strength of a Creation realm expert, my flaws would be exposed if I don’t rely on my treasures or cultivation realm.
With too few variations in his movements, it would be very easy for the other party to see through his moves. But now, his movements had countless variations.
With the myriad variations, I can hide in the depths of the void. Meng Chuan smiled. I have to consolidate my insights as soon as possible and create the corresponding Cloud Dragon Snake Saber Art.
His movement technique and saber art were one, so the creation of his saber art naturally didn’t take long
Meng Chuan practiced happily. By dawn, he had already deduced more than half of the Cloud Dragon Snake Saber Art. He would complete it in a few days.
Oh? Meng Chuan suddenly looked up.
An avian demon monarch flew over from afar.With a thought, Meng Chuan used the Mask of Illusion to change his aura, disguising himself with a Marquis Godfiend’s aura. Normally, he would release his Seamless domain. Nobody in the vicinity could see Meng Chuan and his wife.
Swoosh.
The avian demon monarch had to fly very close before seeing Meng Chuan.
“Marquis Eastcalm, your letter.” The avian demon monarch threw the letter and left.
Meng Chuan sat down on a stone bench and looked at the envelope. He was somewhat surprised. A letter from Dad?
He and Qiyue lived in Jiang State Capital. His father, Meng Dajiang, was also in Jiang State Capital. However, in order to keep their locations a secret, Meng Dajiang didn’t know where the couple was. He wrote letters and had Archean Mountain send them. There was no other choice. This was how it was during wartime.
“Ah Chuan, what’s the letter from Archean Mountain about?” asked Liu Qiyue when she saw Meng Chuan opening the envelope.
“It’s from Dad,” said Meng Chuan as he unfolded the letter.
Chapter 357 - Way of Life
Meng Chuan’s expression gradually turned solemn as he read the letter.
“Ah Chuan, what did Dad say in the letter?” asked Liu Qiyue.
Meng Chuan silently handed the letter to his wife. Liu Qiyue received the letter in puzzlement. Her expression couldn’t help but change after reading it. “Dad has broken through to the Great Solar realm, and he wants to become a Patroller Godfiend?”
“He has already reported it to Archean Mountain. Arrangements should be made in the next few days,” said Meng Chuan softly. “I know my father’s temper. Before meeting my mother, he served in the city pass for ten years. When I was young, he even secretly carried out the Demon Annihilation Guild’s missions without me knowing. He experienced life-and-death battles time and time again. My father is bent on doing something once he’s decided.”
“All these years, my father has been an Earth Net Godfiend due to his strength. He borrowed credits from me previously because he wanted to become a Great Solar Godfiend,” said Meng Chuan. “The threshold for a Patroller is to be a Great Solar Godfiend. The moment my father succeeded, he immediately reported it to Archean Mountain.”
Liu Qiyue couldn’t help but say, “There are so many clansmen in the Meng family. Dad needs to preside over them.”
“Such words can’t convince Dad,” said Meng Chuan. “Dad has long resigned from his position as clan leader. The Meng family now has another clan leader and Elders. Even without my father presiding over the clan, it won’t affect the Meng family much.”
“What do you plan on doing?” Liu Qiyue looked at Meng Chuan.
Meng Chuan said, “Meet him.”
In the same Jiang State Capital, Meng Manor.
Meng Dajiang and Liu Yebai lived in neighboring courtyards. At that moment, Meng Dajiang sat alone in his courtyard. There was a pile of items on the stone table. He carefully inspected them. These were the weapons he needed to bring when he patrolled the wilderness.
He smiled as he inspected them. He was in a good mood.
Oh? Meng Dajiang looked up and saw a young man land in the yard. It was his son, Meng Chuan. Meng Chuan had concealed his aura, changing it to be of a Marquis Godfiend’s.
“Chuan’er.” Meng Dajiang stood up happily. This was the greatest pride in his life-his son-Meng Chuan!
As he had watched this baby slowly grow up, he dedicated his life to teaching and protecting Meng Chuan. Unknowingly, he had become the most important existence in his life. However, the baby, the youth… had already grown up. He no longer needed him for shelter. He could spread his wings and fly on his own.
“Dad.” Meng Chuan looked at his father. It had been a few years since he last saw his father. He wished that he could split a portion of his time so that he could see his father. His wife’s identity as Jiang State Capital’s guardian Godfiend had to be kept a secret. Due to this, he hadn’t seen his father in a few years.
“I heard that guardian Godfiends are not allowed to leave the city they are guarding. You don’t have to visit me,” said Meng Dajiang immediately as he recalled Archean Mountain’s rules.
“Dad, you know that I’m the fastest in the world. I’m not a guardian Godfiend. I’m in charge of rescuing people. I can run all over the world,” explained Meng Chuan with a smile.
Meng Dajiang understood and nodded. “Then you’re very busy. Why are you here to see
me?”
“Dad, do you plan on becoming a Patroller Godfiend?” asked Meng Chuan.
“Yes, Archean Mountain has agreed. They will provide me with orders in a few days,” said Meng Dajiang. “Over the past few years, many Patrollers have died. Archean Mountain lacks manpower.”
Meng Chuan lo
oked at his father. “Dad, I won’t persuade you, but you have to be careful.”
In this era, who could escape the call of duty? King Calm Sea’s children were also fighting. His father, mother, and wife were all participating in the war. Even his childrenMeng An and Meng You-would participate in the war in the future.
“Hahaha… I was fighting demons before you were even born. Do you need to teach me things about the battlefield?” Meng Dajiang chuckled. “Speaking of which, I taught you your saber techniques.”
“Yes, you laid the foundations for me.” Meng Chuan smiled and nodded.
“That’s right. Back then, I had to raise you all on my lonesome. Later, I had to look after the family clan. I then had to care for You’er and An’er,” said Meng Dajiang. “However, ever since You’er and An’er went up the mountain, I’ve been completely free. After seeing how the war has escalated, I feel anxious. However, I was an Indestructible Godfiend. I wasn’t even eligible to become a Patroller Godfiend.”
“But I’ve finally broken through and reached the Great Solar realm. I can become a Patroller and slay demons,” said Meng Dajiang with a smile. “I feel like I’m alive again. I feel like I’ve returned to my youth. I’m filled with energy!”
Meng Chuan listened. He could sense his father’s fighting spirit boiling.
“I’ll head out for a while. I’ll be back later,” said Meng Chuan.
“Alright.” Meng Dajiang nodded and watched his son disappear.
…
Whoosh.
Meng Chuan stepped on the Bloodblade Disc and changed his appearance with the Mask of Illusion. He flew towards Archean Mountain at high speed.
I can’t stop Father, but I can make preparations for him. I can exchange credits for better weapons and treasures and give them to him.
His journey didn’t take long, but it did take him some time to choose the treasures carefully.
An hour later, Meng Chuan returned to Jiang State Capital. “Dad, this is a storage bag. It has a house-sized space. Many items you carry can be placed inside.” Meng Chuan took out the treasures and introduced them. “This is a very special treasure—Blood Shadow Armor. It can fuse with one’s flesh and blood. The stronger one’s body is, the more useful it will be. With the Blood Shadow Armor, your strength should increase by several times. Your defense will be even better.”
