Archean Eon Art c1-766

  In his early days of reconnaissance, he didn’t move like this. Instead, he traveled along a fixed path. Due to these erratic movements, the demons couldn’t figure out Meng Chuan’s reconnaissance pattern.

  So this is what the human world is like. Meng Chuan had traveled through the human world many times and knew what the world he lived in was like.

  Land stretched from the north end of the sea to the south. The furthest distance was over 50,000 kilometers. From east to west, the furthest distance was over 45,000 kilometers.

  It was almost spherical.

  The sky was like a dome that covered the ground.

  Land? It extended deep underground. Temporarily, Meng Chuan didn’t know what it looked like.

  I heard that the human world was very small in the early days compared to the present day. Later, Ancestral Master Archean Eon upgraded the world’s level, causing it to expand greatly. This allowed people in the world to reach the Imperial Lord realm.

  Swoosh.

  Meng Chuan flew at high speeds in the sea. Although the sea was vast, the sea only occupied a small portion of the human world. This was because the sea, on average, was about five kilometers deep! Endless soil, rocks and even metals were below the seabed. As long as Meng Chuan flew close to the bottom of the sea, he could probe the soil and rocks below on a large-scale. However, he would usually take about 8 minutes to fly from the south to the north. He had to go back and forth many times before he could clear the sea.

  Oh? There are demon monarchs! Meng Chuan discovered a demon monarch lair more than 10 kilometers away. The sea’s resistance against electromagnetic waves was much weaker than that of the ground. His electromagnetic domain’s range was much greater in the sea.

  Currently, in a canyon at the bottom of the sea was a demon monarch lair with eight aquatic demon monarchs and a group of ordinary demons. They were very used to living underwater.

  Boom! Boom! Within the electromagnetic domain, lightning appeared with a thought.

  Lightning struck the demon monarchs. The ordinary demons were instantly reduced to dust. Seven aquatic demon monarchs died. Only one demon monarch survived the attack and fled in panic.

  The other demon monarchs are dead. A human Godfiend is here? The flood dragon demon monarch fled in panic. Suddenly, he saw a white-haired man wearing a mask appear in front of him. His eyes were as deep as the night sky as he stared at him.

  “Not bad. This body is nearly comparable to that of a fourth Firmament demon monarch,” muttered the white-haired man to himself.

  Following that, the flood dragon demon monarch felt his consciousness sink into oblivion. It constantly sank… as though he had fallen into an endless abyss.

  In just a few seconds, the flood dragon demon monarch bowed respectfully. “Master.”Meng Chuan nodded slightly. “Rest in the grotto-heaven.” Meng Chuan waved his hand and stored him in his Grotto-Heaven Magic Bead.

  Dozens of demon monarchs were inside his Grotto-Heaven Magic Bead.

  In the past three months, I’ve slaughtered more than 100,000 demon monarchs. I’ve controlled over 300 demon monarchs that have the strength of a threshold Marquis Godfiend. Meng Chuan sighed inwardly. Unfortunately, I don’t specialize in illusions. I can only control demon monarchs with my fifth-level Essence Soul. My limit is about 1,000 demon monarchs. Where did Archean Mountain’s demon monarch servants come from?

  The main source came from Marquis Godfiends and Regis Godfiends that cultivated the illusion lineage. Li Guan, Luo Tang, and Qin Wu relied on their Essence Soul realm to control demon monarchs as well. Meng Chuan also had a fifth-level Essence Soul, so he was on par with Qin Wu and Luo Tang. He could only control about 1,000 demon monarch servants simultaneously. If he wanted to control more, he had to give up control over a portion of the demon monarchs to control new ones.

  Most of the demon monarchs under Master’s control are at the peak of the third Firmament. As for me, I’m carrying out a large-scale selection. I can choose those that are as strong a newly-advanced fourth Firmament demon monarch. Unfortunately, I can’t forcefully control those that have attained Essence Souls. I can only kill them.

  Even if the demon monarchs that had Essence Souls were willing to submit, the pressure from controlling one was too great. The strong demon monarchs that hadn’t condensed an Essence Soul were Meng Chuan’s favorite choice. He now had more than 300 demon monarch servants.

  Huh? At the entrance of the ancient underwater mountain range, a black-robed figure took form and looked at the distant beam of light flying at high speeds.

  I’ve waited for over 50,000 years. Finally, a Regis Godfiend has arrived. The black-robed figure was somewhat excited. I’ve been waiting for too long!

  Chapter 377 - Eon Sea Sect

  Meng Chuan flew across the sea at high speeds on the Bloodblade Disc. He scanned his surroundings and searched for demon monarchs.

  Suddenly, the surrounding void changed. Not good! Meng Chuan was alarmed. Another demon ambush?

  The three great sects wouldn’t attack him. It was very likely that the demons would attack him again. However, he didn’t know that the demons had only used the karmic blood curse to confirm his identity as the mysterious Godfiend. They hadn’t truly attacked him yet. This time, it was really a human faction that had lured him in.

  Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

  Bloodblades immediately flew out from the Bloodblade Disc beneath his feet and surrounded him. They isolated him from the outside world and formed a defensive system.

  Meng Chuan carefully observed his surroundings. The surroundings returned to normal. At a glance, he saw a massive underwater mountain range. The surroundings were very calm, and he didn’t suffer any attack. He couldn’t help but be puzzled.

  Oh? Meng Chuan swept his gaze across the area and saw an ancient mountain entrance in the distance. The stone pillars at the mountain gate were made of green minerals. Although the entrance was ancient, he could still vaguely make out two words— Eon Sea!

  Eon Sea? Meng Chuan’s heart churned. Could this be the ruins of the Eon Sea Sect?

  Even ordinary Godfiends knew of the peerless expert—Fiend Supremacy Eon Sea. Fiend Supremacy Eon Sea had created one of the 12 transcendent-grade Godfiend bodies—the Eon Sea Fiend Body.

  As for Meng Chuan, he knew more due to his clearance.

  Humans once had an invincible sect called the Archean Eon Sect. It was created by Ancestral Master Archean Eon. When Ancestral Master Archean Eon was alive, the Archean Eon Sect was the pride of the entire human race. Everyone was proud of joining the Archean Eon Sect, and the sect was extremely united.

  Years after Ancestral Master Archean Eon passed away… the Archean Eon Sect fractured.

  It split into the Eon Sea Sect and Archean Mountain. According to Meng Chuan’s understanding, Archean Mountain was led by Ancestral Master Archean. The Eon Sea Sect was led by Fiend Supremacy Eon Sea. The two of them had a deep relationship with each other. They were the two most dazzling experts of that era. In human history, the two of them were very famous. Fiend Supremacy Eon Sea was a genius that had reached the Heaven Earth realm. However, he failed to become an Imperial Lord due to his Essence Soul, but he had created an Imperial Lord-level technique. As for Ancestral Master Archean, he had created an Imperial Lord-level technique and the Archean Divine Body formula. He had also become an Imperial Lord, thus suppressing Fiend Supremacy Eon Sea.

  Therefore, Archean Mountain had the upper hand between the two sects. They also obtained a large portion of Archean Eon Sect’s resources. The Eon Sea Sect obtained a small portion of Archean Eon Sect’s resources.

  The Eon Sea Sect has disappeared for hundreds of thousands of years in history. Meng Chuan looked at the ancient mountain entrancewhich had the words “Eon Sea”—and the vast array formation powers around him. The array formation left behind is still so terrifying? It easily teleported me here?

  That’s right. In human history, at its peak, Archean Eon Sect was the
strongest sect in history. Archean Mountain is the second strongest sect in history. Eon Sea Sect is ranked third in history. Meng Chuan understood this.

  Although Black Sand Grotto-Heaven had obtained two complete outer realm legacies, its heritage was still inferior to that of Archean Mountain.

  Whoosh.

  Black fog materialized at the entrance, condensing into a black-robed elder.

  Oh? Meng Chuan looked at the black-robed elder. With his Seamless domain, Meng Chuan could tell that the black-robed elder likely wasn’t a real living being.

  “From how you are using a Tribulation treasure—the Bloodblade Disc-are you an Archean Mountain disciple?” asked the black-robed elder.

  Meng Chuan was alarmed. It can recognize the Bloodblade Disc?

  One usually couldn’t tell what was special about the Tribulation treasure from its appearance, nor was it possible to identify it. “Don’t be surprised. This is one of the Tribulation treasures left behind by Ancestral Master Archean Eon. Of course I can recognize it,” said the black-robed elder. “After all, I was also a Guardian of Archean Eon Sect.”

  “A Guardian of Archean Eon Sect?” Meng Chuan looked at it.

  “After the Archean Eon Sect fractured into two, I became the Eon Sea Sect’s Guardian.” The black-robed elder smiled at Meng Chuan. “Archean Mountain also has a Guardian. Furthermore, there are two of them. Alright, follow me.”

  Meng Chuan temporarily put away the Bloodblades, but he made sure that the Bloodblade Disc was ready to be activated at any moment. He carefully followed the Guardian into the mountain and entered a vast grotto-heaven.

  Inside the grotto-heaven, he saw three buildings.

  “This grotto-heaven that I’ve brought you to is the core of the Eon Sea Sect.” The black-robed elder pointed at the three buildings in front of him. “Back then, the Eon Sea Sect was weak. After negotiations with Archean Mountain during the split, we only obtained these three buildings. Almost all of Ancestral Master Archean Eon’s other treasures are in Archean Mountain’s hands.”

  “Oh?” Meng Chuan carefully inspected the buildings.

  Of the three buildings, the leftmost building looked ordinary. The middle building was a palace, and the building on the right was a pagoda

  “The negotiations between Ancestral Master Eon Sea and Ancestral Master Archean mainly consisted of these three buildings. Of course, there are also other things that were included. For example, Of course… I-a Guardian-was part of the package,” said the black-robed elder with a self-deprecating smile. “Ancestral Master Archean had a good temper and had the absolute advantage, so he didn’t make things unfeasible.”

  “As long as you become a Regis Godfiend, you can enter the leftmost building,” said the black-robed elder as he pointed at it. “It’s also the only building that doesn’t require one to pass a test to enter. You can enter it directly.”

  “Star Cluster Building?” Meng Chuan looked at the building on the left. The building had a plaque with the words “Star Cluster Building” on it.

  “Yes.” The black-robed, long-browed elder nodded and said, “It contains the precious manuals that Ancestral Master Archean Eon collected during his long journey of the River of Spacetime. Almost all of them are manuals at the Tribulation level or Imperial Lord level. Only a small number of Creation-level techniques are included in them. Ancestral Master Archean Eon has seen many manuals in his life. After some selection, he found 98 of them suitable for juniors. All of them are very precious.”

  “Tribulation, Imperial Lord, and Creation-level techniques selected by Ancestral Master Archean Eon?” Meng Chuan was tempted. “It’s no wonder Archean Mountain has so few Tribulation and Imperial Lord-level techniques. Back then, Ancestral Master Archean had the advantage. Why did he give up the Star Cluster Building?” “To become a Regis Godfiend, one must find their own path. One won’t lose themselves when reading these manuals,” said the black-robed elder with a smile. “Of course, if one loses themselves, it means that their mental state isn’t strong or stable enough. With such a limited future, it doesn’t matter if they are crippled.”

  Meng Chuan was very tempted.

  He had read many lightning lineage manuals in Archean Mountain. Although there were few manuals here—98 books in total—all of them were impressive. They were probably above the Heart Intent Saber.They were mostly Tribulation and Imperial Lord-level techniques after all!

  Very few were Creation-level techniques. They were all chosen by Ancestral Master Archean Eon personally, so they were probably comparable to the Heart Intent Saber Art.

  Reading the various techniques and drawing on the wisdom of the seniors will allow me to walk the path of the lightning lineage faster and more stably. Although Meng Chuan was very tempted, he asked, “Since you’ve lured me here and allowed me to enter the Star Cluster Building to read the manuals, what kind of payment is required?”

  “If you wish to gain something, you naturally have to pay the corresponding price.” The Guardian smiled and said, “The price of entering the Star Cluster Building isn’t high. You can choose to join the Eon Sea Sect. As a disciple of the Eon Sea Sect, you will naturally be able to enter the Star Cluster Building. Furthermore, there will be various benefits. If you aren’t willing to become a disciple of the Eon Sea Sect, you have to swear a heart oath. In 100 years, you have to find three genius disciples for the Eon Sea Sect. All of them have to reach the Realm of Force before the age of 16.”

  “Reached the Realm of Force by the age of 16?” Meng Chuan looked around and couldn’t help but ask, “The Eon Sea Sect should have a large grotto-heaven, right? Humans can reproduce in the grotto-heaven. Why do I have to find disciples?”

  “Grotto-heaven?” The Guardian shook his head. “A grotto-heaven is much inferior to a low-level world. It allows for survival and reproduction, but it’s not suitable for cultivation. Furthermore, even if it’s a large grotto-heaven, only a few millions of people can reproduce there at most. The humans in the grotto-heaven will have a much weaker perception, and cultivation will be even more difficult. It’s very difficult to produce an ordinary Godfiend even after centuries. Therefore, disciples need to be recruited from the outside world.”

  Meng Chuan nodded slightly.

  It was very difficult to find a peerless genius like Xue Feng, who had become a Godfiend at 15. However, it wasn’t difficult to find a 16-year-old that had reached the Realm of Force. “What about the other two buildings? What price do I have to pay if I want to enter them?” Meng Chuan wasn’t in a hurry to agree.

  Chapter 378 - Heart Sea Palace and Battle God Pagoda

  “I’ve already said that there’s no need for a test for the Star Cluster Building,” said the Guardian Deity with a smile. “However, the other two buildings require a test.”

  “Test?” Meng Chuan fell into deep thought. The Guardian pointed at the pagoda on the right. “The tower on the right is called the Battle God Pagoda. It was left behind in the sect by Ancestral Master Archean Eon. The opponents in the tower are formed from array formations, so Essence Soul mystic techniques are useless. The Battle God Pagoda tests one’s technique realm and combat intelligence. It has nine levels. If one can pass seven levels, it means that one’s combat skills are invincible in the Creation realm. If one can pass nine levels, their combat skills can be said to be the strongest at the Creation realm in the River of Spacetime. Even if one is stuck at the peak of the Creation realm, they can still kill an Imperial Lord by relying on their techniques.”

  “Invincible at the Creation realm after clearing the seventh level?” Meng Chuan was astonished.

  The ninth level could be said to be the strongest Creation realm expert in the River of Spacetime? Ancestral Master Archean Eon’s identity made this claim quite believable.

  “The Battle God Pagoda has existed in the Archean Eon Sect for 550,000 years, and it has existed since our Eon Sea Sect was founded,” said the Guardian. “The pagoda will determine one’s potential
according to the strength and age of every Godfiend that challenges the tower. As long as your potential is ranked in the top five, you will pass the test.”

  “Top five?” Meng Chuan was shocked.

  “That’s right.” The Guardian smiled at Meng Chuan. “Let me remind you. Ancestral Master Archean has attempted the Battle God Pagoda many times. His potential is ranked third. Ancestral Master Eon Sea is ranked seventh.”

  “You want me to enter the top five?” Meng Chuan couldn’t help but ask.

  “If you are willing to join the Eon Sea Sect, there’s naturally no need for a test. You can obtain all sorts of benefits,” said the Guardian. “However, you are an outsider, yet you want to take away the benefits of our Eon Sea Sect? The requirements are naturally very high. You only have one chance to challenge the Battle God Pagoda. The higher your potential is, the higher the reward you will receive.”

  Meng Chuan didn’t say anything as he pointed at the palace in the middle. “What about this one?”

  “This is the Heart Sea Palace,” said the Guardian. “There are many Essence Soul mystic techniques hidden in it. Ancestral Master Archean Eon was a Physical Body Seventh Tribulation Eminence. Although he wasn’t adept at cultivating the Essence Soul, he had collected quite a number of Essence Soul mystic techniques. They are hidden in the Heart Sea Palace.”

  Meng Chuan’s eyes lit up.

  He was even more puzzled…

  What was Ancestral Master Archean thinking? Back then, he had the advantage. Yet, he had even given up the Heart Sea Palace—which contained various Essence Soul mystic techniques—the Star Cluster Building, which contained many powerful techniques, as well as the Battle God Pagoda that could hone one’s combat prowess.

  Of course, according to the words of the Guardian, this was only a small portion left behind by Ancestral Master Archean Eon. Most of them were still at Archean Mountain. However, these were also very important to Archean Mountain.
