Archean Eon Art c1-766
Page 223
Back during the Archean Eon Sect’s era, the human world was rather famous in its local region of the River of Spacetime.
First, Ancestral Master Archean Eon’s fame spread far and wide. Later on, there were generations of Imperial Lords and invincible Creation realm experts.
With powerful treasures and powerful forbidden spells, who in the vicinity wouldn’t fear the experts of the Archean Eon Realm?
The Essence Soul weapon, Magic Awl, was a signature technique of the human world! However, this mystic technique had been lost for the past 500,000 years. In those years, fewer experts had been produced in the human world. In fact, the human race gradually declined.
In the near future, the resources within Archean Eon Grotto-Heaven would be completely depleted by successive generations. In the past 500,000 years, the number of experts in the human world became scarce.
The Archean Eon Realm’s influence had declined in its local region of the River of Spacetime. It was far less famous than the Demon Realm.
“Qin Wu, hurry over. Make use of this opportunity to finish off Demon Sage Nine Abyss,” said Li Guan.
Qin Wu nodded. “Yes.”
“It fled.” Meng Tiange and Mi Yu were overjoyed.
Bai Yaoyue also smiled. Meng Chuan, a Regis Godfiend, was now critical to the war. From the perspective of the entire human race, he couldn’t die! Nine Abyss attacked ferociously, but he fled in panic. The outcome delighted them.
“Demon Sage Nine Abyss covered its head several times and wailed in pain. It doesn’t seem to be injured on the surface. It should’ve been struck by an Essence Soul mystic technique, right?” Meng Tiange exclaimed. “Demon Sage Nine Abyss has a fifth-level Essence Soul at the very least. However, its Essence Soul was severely injured. Who executed the Essence Soul mystic technique? Meng Chuan? Liu Qiyue?”
“Both of them are very young. No matter who it was, it’s very impressive for them to injure Demon Sage Nine Abyss heavily with an Essence Soul mystic technique,” praise Mi Yu. “However, I believe that Meng Chuan was the one who cast the Essence Soul mystic technique. Firstly, those beams of light-which he controls—are extremely powerful. It’s very likely that they’re a Tribulation treasure. Tribulation treasures usually have very strict requirements on one’s Essence Soul.
“Secondly, as a reconnaissance Godfiend, the demons will have plenty of ways to deal with him if his Essence Soul is too weak. Furthermore, I’ve read the reports on Meng Chuan…. When Meng Chuan entered Archean Mountain, his Spirit Perception far exceeded others during the entrance examination. This means that his Essence Soul talent is extremely high.”
Bai Yaoyue watched silently.
“Junior Sister Bai, your Essence Soul talent is quite high too. It’s probably thanks to you that Meng Chuan has such talent,” said Meng Tiange with a teasing smile; he was in a good mood.
Bai Yaoyue snorted coldly.
“Hahaha…” Meng Tiange’s laughter grew louder.
Although Black Sand Grotto-Heaven kept the matter between Bai Nianyun and Meng Dajiang a secret, even Grand Yin Hall Elders could tell that Bai Nianyun was not a virgin. They quickly found out that it was related to Meng Dajiang. The Supremacies, Meng Tiange and Mi Yu, naturally knew about it.
They also knew the relationship between Meng Chuan and the Bai family.
Thinking about it… Meng Chuan also had a portion of the Bai family’s bloodline.
As for Bai Yaoyue, she was extremely talented. She became a Regis Godfiend at the age of 53! Although her Essence Soul talent was far inferior to Meng Chuan’s, she had a third-level Essence Soul in her forties. She was considered very talented in the aspect of Essence Souls.
Nianyun is the most similar to me among the juniors of the Bai family. Her talent is high, but she doesn’t have enough self-control. She got together with a mortal like Meng Dajiang and even lost her virginity to him, yet she still became a Marquis Godfiend. If she had restrained herself, she could’ve probably gained control of Grand Yin Hall and become a Creation Supremacy in the future. The Meng family would have lucked out.
There was no doubt that talent involved blood inheritance. Parents passed on their bloodline to their children; the more outstanding the parent, the higher the starting point their children enjoyed.
Of course, hard work was more important! Among the children of powerful experts, there were also profligate sons and daughters. Children born of mortals could also shock the world. After all, even the weak human world could give birth to a Physical Body Seventh Tribulation Eminence like Ancestral Master Archean Eon.
There were thousands—if not tens of thousands-of Godfiends in the human world that were stronger than Meng Dajiang and Bai Nianyun. However, their son, Meng Chuan, was ranked first in the combined potential rankings of the Heart Sea Palace and the Battle God Pagoda! This talent could no longer be attributed to bloodline inheritance. It was more to do with Meng Chuan’s repeated transformations over the years.
A true expert would repeatedly surpass their former selves in the aspects of the Essence Soul, willpower, perception, and etc.
Not far away from Jiang State Capital, the golden-armored envoy watched the battle that had taken place.
It represented one of the three demon Imperial Lords, Emperor Roc. Emperor Roc could see everything the golden-armored envoy saw. That was why Demon Sages Nine Abyss and North Sense were so respectful towards this envoy.
Nine Abyss fled? The golden-armored envoy watched from afar; he felt disbelief. We lost?
Chapter 405 - Turning Point
Boom!
Demon Sage Nine Abyss fled at full speed, but Meng Chuan remained behind him. Bloodblades constantly attacked him.
I can only escape Meng Chuan if I go underground. Nine Abyss suddenly swooped down and burrowed into the ground. Swish! Swish! Swish!
The Bloodblades burrowed into the ground and circled Nine Abyss. After that, Meng Chuan quickly followed behind him.
Boom!
As soon as he entered the ground, Nine Abyss
—who was fleeing—turned around and delivered a punch!
The punch tore through the void and shot towards Meng Chuan.
Still on the Bloodblade Disc, Meng Chuan ducked slightly, allowing the punch to brush past him. The punch flew hundreds of feet away from Meng Chuan. “Nine Abyss, it’s currently impossible for your punches to touch me,” said Meng Chuan via voice transmission. With the help of his electromagnetic domain, he easily followed his target.
He’s too slippery. Nine Abyss was secretly vexed by the situation. His Essence Soul was too severely injured. He had lost 10% of his Essence Soul Origins—which translated into heavy injuries. His Essence Soul constantly twitched, making it impossible for him to execute any exquisite moves. As for his crude fist arts, how could they touch Meng Chuan? Even if Meng Chuan was forced into a corner, Meng Chuan could still affect the flow of time with his divine power—Flowing Sand. This made him even more slippery. Nine Abyss flew deep underground at high speeds. When he reached a depth of about 50 kilometers, his body suddenly split into ninewhich all fled in different directions. However, they were quickly intercepted by several Bloodblades! If I had a sixth-level Essence Soul, my Essence Soul avatars would be able to hold him back. My main body would be able to escape easily. Nine Abyss felt that Meng Chuan was too clingy. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t escape from Meng Chuan.
No, if I had a sixth-level Essence Soul, I could have withstood his Essence Soul mystic technique and killed him head-on.
Nine Abyss began to panic. He had already used seven different escape techniques, but the ten-plus Bloodblades shattered his hopes of escaping It won’t be long before an Archean Mountain Creation Supremacy arrives. If I can’t shake Meng Chuan off, I will definitely be caught by the Creation Supremacy. We lost. We lost terribly. Nine Abyss shook his head. The Imperial Lords will definitely be disappointed.
At that moment, he understood that he had lost. He was actually waiting fo
r a Creation Supremacy to arrive.
Boom!
Nine Abyss burrowed 100 kilometers deep into the mantle. The Bloodblades continued to surround him.
Oh? Nine Abyss’s eyes lit up as he stopped and turned to look into the distance.
Nine Abyss stood there as the power of the Tribulation treasure-Eye of the Dark Realmerupted. A terrifying power swept across his surroundings. Nine Abyss pulverized the world membrane from where he stood. The aftershocks even spread out for several kilometers, reducing the molten rock and metal, within a few kilometers, to dust.
From afar, Meng Chuan appeared. The aftershocks swept past him, but it didn’t injure him at all. He remained deep in the void. With the Bloodblade Disc protecting him, his Blood Droplet realm body, and a slippery movement technique, even Nine Abyss was helpless against him.
“Supremacy Qin Wu.” Demon Sage Nine Abyss stared into the distance. Qin Wu had finally arrived. “Demon Sage Nine Abyss.” Qin Wu looked at Demon Sage Nine Abyss and the shattered world membrane next to him.
“I never expected that I wouldn’t be able to kill a Regis Godfiend, even with my full strength. This Meng Chuan has such a powerful Essence Soul mystic technique.” Nine Abyss sighed. The world membrane around him constantly shattered, maintaining the huge hole—which was dozens of feet wide. “However, in the end, you humans will definitely lose. I will watch from the Demon Realm.”
With that said, Nine Abyss turned around and crossed through the opening in the world membrane.
Humph. The sword on Qin Wu’s back suddenly slashed out. A terrifying sword beam cleaved the world membrane, tearing the hole wider by hundreds of feet as it pursued Nine Abyss.
The terrifying sword beam instantly appeared behind Nine Abyss, but the sword beam was immediately obliterated by the darkness. It completely dissipated as Nine Abyss remained unharmed.
“Demon Imperial Lord.” Through the world membrane opening, Qin Wu stared at the figure standing in the outer realm’s void.
Previously, this figure was hidden.
Since he had made a move, there was no need to hide. He revealed himself-a golden-robed, golden-haired figure that emitted a terrifying aura. The figure coldly glared at Qin Wu through the world membrane opening before his gaze swept past Meng Chuan.
A demon Imperial Lord. Meng Chuan felt his heart palpitate when the gaze swept past him. He knew that if they were in the same world, the demon Imperial Lord would probably be able to kill him with a single strike. “So it’s Emperor Roc,” said Qin Wu with a smile.
Meng Chuan also saw it.
Demon Sage Nine Abyss did it on purpose. Meng Chuan came to a realization at that moment. However, it’s also quite afraid of Master. It tore open the world membrane, meaning it could escape at any time. If it escaped and Master actually chased after him, he would be killed by Emperor Roc—who was hiding in the outer realm.
No matter how weak a demon Imperial Lord was, they had reached the Heaven Earth realm and had a seventh-level Essence Soul at the very least.
It was a complete suppression. If a Creation realm expert wanted to fight an Imperial Lord that was above their level? Well, human Creation Supremacies were presently far from being capable of such a thing.
“You human Godfiends don’t even dare to enter the outer realm,” said Emperor Roc coldly as he stood in the dark void. “Continue hiding. Let’s see how long you can hide.”
Following that, he left with Nine Abyss.
The world membrane regenerated and sealed the opening
“Trying to lure me out and ambush me?” Qin Wu shook his head. “Do you really think I’m stupid?”
“One of the three demon Imperial LordsEmperor Roc.” Meng Chuan stood by the side. This was the first time he had seen an Imperial Lord. He instinctively felt fear when he saw Emperor Roc.
“What’s there to be afraid of when we are separated by a world?” said Qin Wu with a smile. “Even a Tribulation Eminence can’t break through a world’s obstruction and enter another world, much less an Imperial Lord. This is a rule in the entire River of Spacetime. It serves as protection for a world’s weak living beings.”
Meng Chuan nodded.
Many worlds were still very weak. For example, in the earliest periods of the human world, one could only reach the Creation realm at the very most.
The weakest experts traveling through the River of Spacetime were at the Creation realm. If they were allowed to enter and leave worlds freely, these weaker worlds would’ve long been destroyed. Due to the River of Spacetime’s laws and the World Origins’ protection, countless civilizations were born in the River of Spacetime.
“However, it’s right.” Qin Wu sighed. “Ever since the war with the demons began, human Creation Supremacies no longer dare to enter the outer realm. Unless we have an avatar technique, we would be courting death if we roam the outer realm with our true bodies. If our true bodies are discovered by the demons…
“The Demon Realm has great influence over this region in the River of Spacetime. They have three Imperial Lords and a group of demon sages. They are ranked among the top five worlds in this region. Many weak worlds are willing to suck up to the Demon Realm. Our human world’s status is much worse.
“I’ve talked too much.” Qin Wu smiled at Meng Chuan. “What outer realm? The most important thing for us humans now is to win this war. Today, we won a great victory. Although we failed to kill Demon Sage Nine Abyss, it was forced to flee to the outer realm. It won’t be able to enter the human world again unless it possesses another weak demon.”
Meng Chuan nodded. “Without Nine Abyss, the demons’ strongest expert in the human world is gone.”
“It will probably take 100 more years for another true demon sage to appear in the human world,” said Qin Wu happily. “This is a turning point! It’s a turning point for the entire war. From now on, the million-strong demon army will no longer be of any use. They also no longer have a true demon sage in the human world! Hahaha… life will be much better in the future.”
“Yes.” Meng Chuan was also excited.
The strongest demon expert and the million-strong demon army was gone. That drastically reduced the demons’ threat towards humans.
“Let’s go.”
The master-disciple duo soared toward the sky, passing through layers of soil and rocks. Soon, they flew out of the ground and headed towards Jiang State Capital.
Chapter 406 - Hope
Demon Realm.
Ice Palace floated high in the sky. Emperor Roc brought Demon Sage Nine Abyss here. Lady Blackmoon and Imperial Lord Starquix stood side by side as they coldly glared at Nine Abyss In particular, Starquix’s aura was weak; his unstable aura spread out in all directions, affecting Nine Abyss.
“I’m useless. I failed to kill Meng Chuan,” said Nine Abyss as he knelt in horror.
His rationality told him that the three Imperial Lords would not kill him to prevent so that the other demon sages wouldn’t be disheartened. However, he was afraid of what would happen when things didn’t go as expected! He knew how important this matter was to the Imperial Lords.
“You are a demon sage that has cultivated for many years. Furthermore, you have a Tribulation treasure. However, you couldn’t even kill a Regis Godfiend?” said Lady Blackmoon with a sneer. “His strength is not inferior to that of a Creation Supremacy. He also has a Tribulation treasure,” explained Nine Abyss immediately. “Furthermore, his Essence Soul mystic technique is extremely powerful. It can transform into a black awl that easily pierced my Essence Soul. I lost 10% of my Essence Soul Origins as a result. I’m afraid it will take me 100 years to recover completely. With my Essence Soul heavily injured, my strength suffered greatly. That’s why I couldn’t do anything to him.”
It was very difficult to recover one’s Essence Soul Origins. For example, Meng Chuan had the Essence Soul Star legacy. It allowed the Essence Soul to self-cultivate; it also granted the Essence Soul an astonishing recovery speed. Meng Chuan only nee
ded two years to recover from the Essence Soul damage that Nine Abyss had suffered.
In those two years, his strength would be in a “damaged” state. This was very dangerous.
For those that didn’t have the Essence Soul Star legacy, one would take decades to recover from the shattering of their Magic Awl. The Magic Awl deserved its name as a forbidden technique. If Meng Chuan had used 30% of his Essence Soul Origins to cultivate the Magic Awl, he would pay ten times the price for shattering it.
“Black awl?” Blackmoon, Starquix, and Roc exchanged looks.
“Magic Awl.” Blackmoon said softly, “It’s been a long time since I’ve heard of the Magic Awl mystic technique. Another Godfiend from the Archean Eon Realm has mastered this mystic technique.”
The Magic Awl mystic technique was once the most famous killer move of Archean Eon Realm’s Godfiends that traveled the River of Spacetime. Unlike the Essence Soul Star legacy —which suffered restrictions from the River of Spacetime’s laws-quite a few cultivators practised the Magic Awl Forbidden Spell. The Essence Soul Star legacy had an extremely high threshold. The Magic Awl Forbidden Spell didn’t suffer those restrictions. Most of the human world’s Godfiends-who traveled the River of Spacetime-cultivate this Essence Soul mystic technique.
Unfortunately, no one could cultivate it to perfection. Thus, nobody could make a copy of the technique manual. There was only one copy of the technique manual in the entire human world. The original copy was left in the Heart Sea Palace. It was something Ancestral Master Archean Eon had obtained by chance.
This terrifying forbidden technique was perfected by Essence Tribulation Eminences.
For juniors like Meng Chuan, although they knew how to use it, they didn’t understand the profundities behind it. They only knew how to construct the Essence Soul weapon and carve the runic patterns according to the manual’s description. As for why these runic patterns were constructed in such a manner? They didn’t know. Only when they truly comprehended it could their attainments in this mystic technique match that of the creator. Only then could they make a copy of the technique manual.
