I’ll take a breather first. Meng Chuan sat down cross-legged and used his grotto-heaven’s Origins power to replenish the lightning in his body rapidly. He wanted to attempt the fifth level in his peak state. Therefore, he had to wait for his lightning stores to recover completely. Heaven’s Wrath is indeed excellent. Back then, it was this move that saved King Calm Sea’s life. This move is impossible to dodge thanks to its extreme speed. It can even cause paralysis. It’s very effective against those with weaker bodies.
He passed the fourth level? Outside the Battle God Pagoda, the Guardian was astonished. The opponents on the fourth level typically target the weak points of those who enter the pagoda. They are opponents at the Creation realm. It’s very difficult to kill them.
The opponents a Godfiend encountered varied. The opponents would target the weakness of the Godfiend; therefore, it was hard to advance further.
His ranking has increased. He’s ranked 12th. The Guardian looked at the stone pillar in puzzlement. He’s 59 years old. He killed an opponent at the threshold of the Creation realm. His strength is astonishing. Does the Battle God Pagoda still think that Humanity’s Demon Slayer doesn’t have the right to be in the top ten?
It’s impossible to clear the fifth level. Typically, one needs to be at the peak of the Creation realm before they can do so.
After resting for six hours and using his grotto-heaven’s Origins powers to recover, Meng Chuan went to the fifth level.
CCC
The fifth level.
Oh? Meng Chuan looked in front of him.
A human elder stood there. His Grotto-Heaven domain enveloped 50 kilometers around him. It was extremely powerful. This Grotto-Heaven domain was simulated by the Battle God Pagoda, but its might was in no way inferior.
“I never expected you to have such a powerful divine power as a human Godfiend,” said the human elder. “Every bolt of lightning was astonishing in strength. I lost due to the five consecutive strikes.”
“I’m also doing this to clear the Battle God Pagoda,” said Meng Chuan. “Now that the human world is facing a calamity, I have to be ranked in the top five before I can help the human world.”Meng Chuan had extravagant hopes. He hoped that his words would make the other party be biased towards him.
“Humanity is facing a calamity?” The elder was puzzled.
Meng Chuan explained the situation in the outside world. The human elder listened carefully. After all, he had been isolated for too long. Furthermore, he also stood on the side of the human world.
“I really want to help you, but I’m the Battle God Pagoda. I have to follow the rules set by Ancestral Master Archean Eon,” said the human elder. “Your opponents on the fifth level are all at the Creation realm. There are a total of nine.”
Just as he finished speaking, the power of the array formation began to condense one opponent after another.
Apart from the human elder, there was also a demon sage. The coiled demon dragon was nearly two kilometers long. There was a winged alien expert. His entire body shone with a golden light. There was also a tall, skinny elder with dark skin. There were two soft feelers on his forehead…
There were a total of nine Creation realm existences.
The human elder apologetically said, “This is a rule. There’s nothing I can do about it. I can tell you that each of the nine experts here are equivalent to an ordinary Creation realm expert. They each have their own strengths. They have strong physical bodies, domains, long-range attacks, etc… They will cooperate with each other as they deal with you. You will need to kill all of them before you can clear the fifth level. In history, peak Creation realm experts generally can clear the fifth level.”
Chapter 387 - Meng Chuan Unleashed
Peak Creation realm expert? Meng Chuan’s heart tightened. Even if he tried his best, he was far from reaching the Creation realm’s peak.
His master, Qin Wu, only had the strength of a peak Creation realm expert if he didn’t use a Tribulation treasure. Of course, due to cultivating the Thirteen Swordbane Fiend Body, his master was extremely powerful when it came to offense among peak Creation Supremacies.
In the Godfiend cultivation system, sharpshooters were the strongest, offensive-wise.
Although a sharpshooter could theoretically cultivate any Godfiend body, sharpshooters usually had limited life-preservation means. It was also difficult for them to grow stronger. Humanity didn’t even have a single Creation realm sharpshooter. If Liu Qiyue cast Phoenix’s Nirvana, she could unleash the strength of a Creation realm sharpshooter for an extremely short period of time. However, the stronger she was, the faster she consumed her lifespan when casting Phoenix’s Nirvana. Be it her husband, Meng Chuan, or the sect; they forbade Liu Qiyue from using Phoenix’s Nirvana without good reason.
“Generally, only those at the peak of the Creation realm can clear this level?” asked Meng Chuan. “In other words, there are exceptions?”
“If one’s combat methods are very comprehensive, top Creation realm experts with extremely high combat intelligence stand a chance,” said the human elder. “However, you’ve only reached the Dharma Domain realm. Your techniques are too crude. There’s no hope for you.”
Meng Chuan nodded slightly.
After painting the Fifteen Lightning Forms, he cultivated in a manner that led to the essence of lightning. He also studied the Bloodblade Disc. Now, he had attained Greater Mastery of the Dharma Domain realm with the Infinite Saber Art and the Cloud Dragon Snake Movement Technique.
Of course, Greater Mastery of the Dharma Domain realm was relatively easy to achieve. It was difficult to reach the Dharma Domain realm’s peak. Reaching the Grotto-Heaven realm was ten times harder.
I can’t clear it? Meng Chuan recalled what the Guardian said.
“It’s not important which level you reach in the nine storied-Battle God Pagoda. What’s important is to showcase yourself. When inside, try your best to showcase your strength. That might boost the Battle God Pagoda’s evaluation of you. This slight boost might be the difference between being ranked fifth or sixth.”
The Guardian had made it clear.
It’s not important which level I reach. What’s important is to showcase myself.
“Come on.”
The human elder smiled.
Rumble~
The nine Creation realm experts unleashed their techniques.
The surrounding void began to freeze as layers of fog churned around them. An astonishing repulsive force swept in all directions.
With just a little bit of teamwork, they managed to combine multiple domains perfectly. This is already alarming. Meng Chuan stood in the same spot as he felt the repulsive force sweep past him. He struggled to stand still.
Domains didn’t necessarily improve when stacked upon one another. For example, one domain could freeze the void, while another domain could shatter the void. If they were used at the same time, they would only affect each other negatively, weakening both domains greatly. As for the nine Creation realm experts chosen by the Battle God Pagoda, they naturally had perfect teamwork.
Swoosh.
With a single movement, Meng Chuan entered the deep void. He could no longer sense the repulsive force.
As he approached the nine experts, the void froze. Even Meng Chuan-who was deep in the void—was unable to hide any longer.
I can’t get within 1.5 kilometers of them. Meng Chuan tried to appear.
This was because he was completely suppressed by the multiple domains, even though he was about 1.5 kilometers away.
The void froze like a huge block of ice. He was a fish that had been frozen within. Although he could continue moving, he needed to break through the frozen void. Furthermore, the fog’s full-force binding and the repulsive force were even more astonishing. This made it very difficult for Meng Chuan to approach the nine Creation realm experts.
Under the stacked domains, my strength has declined significantly; I now only have peak Regis strengt
h. I probably won’t be able to get close to them. Meng Chuan understood this. He was confident about fighting an ordinary Creation realm expert one-on-one. However, when nine Creation realm experts combined forces, he felt despair.
I have to rely on my divine powers. I have to showcase myself as much as possible and raise my ranking
With a thought, every particle world in Meng Chuan’s body erupted. This was actually similar to a forbidden spell unleashed by an ordinary Godfiend. However, unleashing each particles’ power when he was in the Blood Droplet realm made it more complete. He unleashed the potential of every particle, causing his body’s strength, speed, toughness, and other aspects to improve significantly. Even the particle world domain was completely released. Although each individual microscopic domain was very weak, a qualitative change in strength would occur when countless of them combined.
They automatically formed a domain and even affected the surrounding 50 kilometers.
Divine power-Heaven Earth Control!
This was a very common divine power for Blood Droplet realm experts, but it was also extremely powerful. It was a divine power that could be used when fighting for his life. This was because this divine power could only last for about 30 seconds. After 30 seconds, his Blood Droplet realm body could no longer maintain it.
This is such a wonderful feeling. Meng Chuan felt his powerful body and domain resisting the surrounding domains. It weakened those domains greatly.
Silver runes appeared on both sides of Meng Chuan’s forehead as silver lightning flashed around his head; silver lightning filled his eyes.
This was another divine power Meng Chuan used in concert with Heaven Earth Control. It was a divine power that was not recorded in the legacy-Flowing Sand!
Meng Chuan only affected the flow of time on his body. This way, the expenditure was the lowest.
At that moment, everything in the outside world slowed down… or rather, he became faster.
Three seconds in the outside world was 30 seconds for Meng Chuan. Thus, Meng Chuan’s every move became ten times faster.
Boom!
Heaven Earth Control domain constantly attacked the stacked domains, reducing the effects of the enemy’s domains. Phasing away, Meng Chuan charged towards the nine experts. His speed was terrifying.
In a flash, he could traverse 190 kilometers.
In reality, Meng Chuan was ten times faster than before. Even with the Cloud Dragon Snake Movement Technique, he could move 250 kilometers in a second. However, due to the multi-layered domain, his speed was reduced to 190 kilometers per flash. This was the result of the Heaven Earth Control domain greatly reducing the stacked domains’ effectiveness.
So fast.
The nine experts were alarmed as they used various methods to stop Meng Chuan.
The demon dragon charged at Meng Chuan. The 300-foot-tall giant held a pike in its hand. A petite winged woman blinked her eyes, and seven colorful beams flew out from her wings, heading towards Meng Chuan.
Among the nine experts, some were skilled at close combat, while others were good at long-range attacks. They all attacked with all their might.
Whoosh.
Meng Chuan was too fast. Although he couldn’t hide in the deep void, the nine experts were still somewhat flustered by his speed.
He’s too fast.
We can’t catch up.
Out of the nine attacks, only three managed to catch up to Meng Chuan. They were the human elder’s Thirteen Swordbanes, the winged woman’s seven colorful beams, and the golden beam that shot out from the demon dragon’s forehead. These three attacks could catch up to Meng Chuan—who was moving at a speed of 190 kilometers per flash.
Swish! Swish! Swish!Not only was Meng Chuan fast, but his movements were unpredictable.
In terms of variations, the Cloud Dragon Snake Movement Technique surpassed the World Roving Dragon Saber. When executing this technique, it was difficult to determine Meng Chuan’s flying trajectory. Furthermore, Meng Chuan was in a constant Yin-Yang state. Sometimes an attack pierced through Meng Chuan, only to realize a moment later that it was just an afterimage.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Most of the attacks from the human elder, the winged woman, and the demon dragon missed. They failed to touch Meng Chuan.
Pfft.
Only two Swordbanes and one colorful light beam struck Meng Chuan. Meng Chuan’s saber blocked one Swordbane and the colorful light beam, while he let his body withstand the last Swordbane.
Although Swordbanes were powerful, with his Heaven Earth Control’s might unleashed, Meng Chuan’s body had improved in every aspect. The Indestructible Divine Armor’s strength had increased greatly. The Swordbane barely pierced through the Indestructible Divine Armor, leaving a small wound on Meng Chuan’s body. His Blood Droplet realm body healed it in the blink of an eye.
Although it took time to describe, in the blink of an eye, Meng Chuan had already torn through the obstruction and arrived in front of the winged woman as an illusory stream of light.
Chapter 388 - Leaving the Battle God Pagoda
After the nine experts unleashed their respective techniques, Meng Chuan had a rough understanding of them. From their auras, techniques, and how far they distanced themselves from him, Meng Chuan could conclude that three of the nine experts had weak physical bodies. The amalgamation of factors allowed him to conclude that he had the greatest chance of killing the winged woman, the tall, skinny, swarthy elder with the feelers, and the human elder.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Dazzling saber beams struck the winged woman.
Affected by Flowing Sand, Meng Chuan had struck out ten times in the time it usually took him to deliver one attack. The winged woman only felt dazzling saber beams cleave down at her.
Although she instantly retracted her wings as a colorful light appeared over her body, the protective light dissipated after being struck ten times. Her wings ruptured, and her face was filled with panic. Following that, a blinding bolt of lightning welcomed her.
Divine power—Heaven’s Wrath!
With her protective light gone and her wings peppered with injuries, she was unable to protect herself perfectly. The lightning struck her, causing her body to turn numb. Rainbow blood flowed out from her mouth and nose.
At that moment, another saber beam cleaved the paralyzed, heavily-injured woman, completely halving her body. Her body suddenly exploded, transforming into a large number of feathers that attempted to fly away.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Saber beams swept across the area-none of the feathers managed to escape. All the feathers were destroyed.
The winged woman died.
Although it took time to describe, Meng Chuan cast Heaven’s Wrath and delivered a dozen strikes in the blink of an eye.
I’ve killed one. Meng Chuan was filled with joy. Since he cultivated Essence Soul Star and had a fifth-level Essence Soul, the speed of his thoughts was no less than that of a Creation realm expert.
When affected by Flowing Sand, his mind was ten times faster.
His mind and body were both fast.
Swoosh.
Meng Chuan executed his movement technique and left behind a mysterious mark as he attacked the skinny, swarthy elder with the feelers. Even the Thirteen Swordbanes—which had the strength of a Creation realm expertwere unable to completely lock onto Meng Chuan. Every time, only one or two strikes connected.
He’s a mere Regis Godfiend, yet he killed a Creation realm alien despite being outnumbered nine to one. The human elder watched. That was a true Winged saint, who once existed. Master once said that strength ultimately decides one’s fate. With strength, one will be respected and feared by all. He’s a 59-year-old Regis Godfiend, but he’s really strong. He has a very powerful physical body; it allows him to withstand several Swordbane strikes without any problem. His cultivation system definitely has very strict requirements if he can cultivate his body to such an extent.
&nbs
p; The River of Spacetime developed its own limitations in an unspoken manner. The stronger a cultivation system was, the higher the requirements. The more powerful a legacy was, the harder it was for one to cultivate it. To obtain great strength, one had to break through many difficult obstacles. Is he cultivating the Desolate cultivation system? The Cosmos Body cultivation system? Or is it the Combat Body cultivation system? The human elder guessed how Meng Chuan cultivated his body. He had followed Ancestral Master Archean Eon for a long time, so he knew the famous physical body cultivation systems in the River of Spacetime.
Furthermore, he cultivates two saber arts. One saber art is extremely powerful and fast. His ten consecutive strikes easily dispatched the winged saint. The other saber art is unpredictable. Together with his speed, it’s even harder to block. However, it has inferior strength. His movement technique is also bizarre and unpredictable. He can also enter the depths of the void.
The elder looked at Meng Chuan. He’s probably only at the Greater Mastery of the Dharma Domain realm, yet he already has a divine power in the Time lineage.
What were divine powers?
They were manifestations of one’s talent! When specific types of divine powers manifested, it meant that one’s physical body and Essence Soul were talented in this aspect. When one was weaker, that talent would manifest in the form of divine powers. When one was stronger-a Creation realm expert or an Imperial Lord—they would begin to comprehend their divine powers. They would begin to utilize this power at a more profound level.
He’s able to infiltrate the void’s depths. He clearly has talent in space and time. His potential is indeed astonishing since he grasped these two powers so early.
Space and time combined was spacetime. Only the pinnacle existences in the outer realm had the ability to control spacetime. According to normal cultivation, a Regis Godfiend would typically come into contact with the void. Only Grotto-Heaven realm experts would come into contact with time. This was why Grotto-Heaven realm experts could travel the River of Spacetime. However, Meng Chuan could utilize these two powers at a very early stage; he was capable of accelerating time by ten-fold. Even if King True Martial came into contact with time, it would be difficult for him to accelerate it by ten-fold. However, King Calm Sea-who focused on the Time lineage-could influence time by several-fold, but he couldn’t influence it by ten-fold either.
