Archean Eon Art c1-766

by I Eat Tomatoes, Wo Chi Xi Hong Shi, 我吃西红柿

  Whoosh.

  A saber beam lit up as it slashed towards the hunchbacked demon monarch. The hunchbacked demon monarch had six arms. His saber art had reached the Grotto-Heaven realm.

  However, Meng Chuan’s saber art was fast to begin with. With the augmentation of his divine power-Flowing Sand-it was ten times faster. This speed had already exceeded the speed at which demonic power could emanate. When an object’s speed reached a certain level, there was no way to intercept it.

  Reaching the limits of an aspect gave one truly terrifying combat prowess. For example, although the Golden Lotus Descent technique in Star Cluster Building was a Creation-level technique, it could kill an Imperial Lord when it reached the perfected Grotto-Heaven realm! This was the heaven-defying strength one gained once they reached the limits of a certain aspect.

  Humph. The hunchbacked demon monarch could only let out a low grunt. A golden light appeared on his skin. He could only rely on his defensive powers to withstand the attack.

  Pfft.

  When one reached a certain speed, they would be suppressed by the laws of Heaven and Earth. The faster they were, the greater the suppression. Therefore, speed corresponded to strength. The Bloodblades were already extremely fast. After being accelerated by Meng Chuan’s electromagnetic domain, their speed increased by 60%, increasing their strength by several-fold.

  Meng Chuan’s saber seemed to be ten times faster than before, but in reality, the saber was still moving at its normal speed. In terms of strength alone, his saber art didn’t experience any improvements. However, he could deliver ten consecutive strikes in the same amount of time it would usually take him to deliver one attack.

  At that moment, the saber beam struck the golden light that surrounded the hunchbacked demon monarch’s body. He barely withstood the attack after combining his demonic power with the Grotto-Heaven realm’s profundities.

  Meng Chuan’s saber strike didn’t increase in strength, but his Blood Droplet realm body gave him strength and speed that was greater than that of Blood Shura and the mountain demon. The saber strike still caused the hunchbacked demon monarch’s protective golden light to coruscate.

  Following that, the second strike landed at the same spot. It shattered the protective golden light and left a wound on the mountain demon. When the third strike arrived, the hunchbacked demon monarch’s protective golden light had recovered.

  Your attacks are too weak. The hunchbacked demon monarch heaved a sigh of relief. At the same time, he struck out with his six sabers.

  Meng Chuan’s figure blurred as he easily dodged the saber beams.

  Boom!

  Suddenly, dazzling lightning erupted from Meng Chuan’s body.

  Divine power—Heaven’s Wrath!

  “Be careful.” The four demon monarchs’ hearts tightened. Cave Lord White Azure had died to a bolt of lightning. Demon Monarch Mountain Splitter-who was closest to Meng Chuan-was even more nervous.

  The dazzling lightning bolt instantly struck the distant Holy Lady Strings.

  Considering the speed of lightning and the fact that the four demon monarchs were within 15 kilometers of Meng Chuan, the lightning bolt struck all of them simultaneously, giving them no time to react. They could only rely on their own means to block the attack.

  Boom!

  When the lightning bolt struck Holy Lady Strings, a huge cocoon-formed from countless void threads-appeared around her. The huge void silk cocoon was about 30 feet tall. It protected Holy Lady Strings from the lightning’s constant attacks. It was one of Holy Lady String’s important defensive techniques. The lightning was invisible. Bolts of lightning passed through the tiny cracks in the silk threads and struck Holy Lady Strings.

  Holy Lady Strings’s skin was covered in a protective white light. Though it seemed that it could withstand the lightning perfectly, in reality, her body turned numb.

  auses

  n

  It causes my body to turn numb. My control over my body and my demonic powers have slowed down? Holy Lady Strings was secretly alarmed. At her level, it was very dangerous for her control to slow down.

  Huh? Holy Lady Strings suddenly saw something.

  From afar, six Bloodblades—which had already accelerated to their maximum speedsattacked!

  From the beginning of the battle, the Bloodblades—which Meng Chuan had released —constantly accelerated within his electromagnetic domain. They circled him again and again. As the distance of eight full circles around Meng Chuan was considerable, even though the Bloodblades were fast, it was only until now that the six Bloodblades reached their maximum speed. Every one of them was as strong as a top Creation realm expert’s attack.

  As he executed Heaven’s Wrath, the six Bloodblades followed suit. At this moment, Holy Lady Strings’s control over her body and demonic power had slowed down.

  Experts seized critical moments when they fought.

  Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

  Meng Chuan maintained Flowing Sand. Although this divine power couldn’t affect the speed of his Bloodblades, Meng Chuan’s mind moved ten times faster than before. Due to Meng Chuan’s faster mind, he could control the Bloodblades more precisely as they flew around the void threads, dodging them with ease. This was also a reason why the void threads’ interception speed had slowed down.

  Six consecutive strikes.

  When the Bloodblades struck the gigantic void silk cocoon around Holy Lady Strings, the Bloodblades’ might weakened due to the dense amount of void threads that formed the void silk cocoons. After slicing through a large number of threads, the Bloodblade’s might had been drained. The six Bloodblades blasted a huge hole in the void silk cocoon. However, many void threads flowed over to defend the void silk cocoon.

  Even Peacock can’t kill me. You think you can do so with your six sabers? The numbness affecting Holy Lady Strings instantly disappeared. Holy Lady Strings controlled her void silkworm cocoon, easily blocking the attacks.

  Boom!Another dazzling bolt of lightning struck the hunchbacked demon monarch at close range. Blood appeared on the corner of the hunchbacked demon monarch’s mouth as his body turned numb.

  He didn’t have time to react as a saber beamwhich made his heart palpitate—appeared in front of him.

  It was fast and furious!

  Pfft.

  The hunchbacked demon monarch’s head flew up!

  He pushed Heaven Earth Control and Flowing Sand to maximum strength! These two divine powers combined with Heaven’s Wrath to deliver this fatal sneak attack!

  He had to succeed in one strike!

  As for why he attacked Holy Lady Strings, it was because he wanted to figure out the other party’s strength before focusing his attacks on her. It was also because he wanted her to focus on protecting herself, stopping her from protecting the hunchbacked demon monarch. That way, the moment he revealed his fangs, his probability of success would be much greater! The second one is down. There are still three left. Meng Chuan was like a hunter as he patiently searched for his prey’s weaknesses.

  Chapter 424 - Dao Protector Strikes

  After beheading the hunchbacked demon monarch with one strike, saber beams fell one after another. Meng Chuan struck out quickly under the effects of Flowing Sand. After six consecutive strikes, the hunchbacked demon monarch was reduced to dust. The weapons he left behind were also stored into Meng Chuan’s Grotto-Heaven Magic Bead in passing.

  “Mountain Splitter is dead?”

  “Another one died?”

  The three of them saw Meng Chuan deal with the hunchbacked demon monarch, but they didn’t have time to rescue him.

  Meng Chuan’s terrifying speed allowed him to take them down one by one. When this Meng Chuan discovered the five of us, he took the initiative to meet us head-on! In the face of our encirclement, he first struck White Azure with a bolt of lightning. Then, he appeared to attack me, but in reality, he killed Demon Monarch Mountain Splitter in close combat. Holy Lady Strings vaguely sensed tha
t something was amiss. The intelligence on Meng Chuan is wrong. Meng Chuan repeatedly killed the demon monarchs in my team. We are being led by the nose. The mountain demon and Quicksand were shocked and furious.

  If they had encountered such a terrifying opponent in the past, they might have chosen to retreat temporarily. However, their opponent was Meng Chuan! He had a bounty worth 50 billion credits! The combined credits awarded for killing the nine human Supremacies were only worth a few billion credits.

  The huge bounty made the three of them unwilling to give up. Furthermore, they had confidence in killing him.

  They had the Black Lotus mystic technique to protect their Essence Souls. They also had extremely powerful defensive techniques, so they were confident that they could withstand Meng Chuan’s attacks. “Convene here. As long as he attacks, he will have to face all three of us at the same time,” said Holy Lady Strings via voice transmission.

  “Yes.” Quicksand and the mountain demon immediately moved towards Holy Lady Strings.

  You want to convene? Meng Chuan grinned and lunged at Holy Lady Strings. In terms of speed, he moved faster than the speed demonic powers could spread through the void. Just as the duo moved, Meng Chuan charged towards Holy Lady Strings.

  “Senior Brother Wang, attack!” Meng Chuan sent a voice transmission.

  Within a small grotto-heaven.

  Dao Protector Wang Shan had already woken up and was ready to attack at any moment. “Senior Brother Wang, your Essence Soul mystic technique is too terrifying. Once you attack, you will give them a terrible fright. They will immediately flee in panic.” Meng Chuan had long warned him via voice transmission. “Let me take action first. Holy Lady Strings doesn’t feel threatened by my strength. I’ll first kill the weaker Cave Lord White Azure and Demon Monarch Mountain Splitter. I won’t be able to deal with the remaining three by myself.” With the Black Lotus mystic technique protecting them, the remaining trio dared to face Meng Chuan’s attacks head-on.

  Quicksand’s undying body, the mountain demon’s body, and Holy Lady Strings’s protective means were enough to make Meng Chuan despair.

  “You can summon me anytime,” said Wang Shan with a smile.

  “Senior Brother Wang, once I summon you, use Magic Awl to deal with Holy Lady Strings,” said Meng Chuan via voice transmission. “Your Essence Soul mystic technique will definitely be able to break the Black Lotus mystic technique, striking fear in the trio. The other two don’t pose much of a threat to us humans, but Holy Lady Strings’s threat is much greater.”

  Holy Lady Strings was a greater threat than the other four demon monarchs combined.

  This fifth Firmament demon monarch had the highest technique realm among the rest. Once she obtained a Tribulation treasure, her strength would increase substantially. However, Monarch Peacock was different. Monarch Peacock had an extremely powerful body that allowed him to be invincible. His body was the foundation of his invincible strength and his best weapon. A Tribulation treasure wouldn’t be of much help to him.

  Those with high technique realms—like Holy Lady Strings and King True Martial —could unleash astonishing might if they had a Tribulation treasure.

  “Don’t worry. The moment I appear, I’ll use Magic Awl to deal with Holy Lady Strings,” said Wang Shan confidently.

  Suddenly, an invisible force wrapped around Wang Shan.

  A sharp glint flashed in Wang Shan’s eyes. It’s time for me to come out?

  Swoosh.

  He was teleported out as he appeared beside Meng Chuan. An Essence Soul voice transmission sounded. “Senior Brother Wang, attack.”

  “Alright.” Wang Shan looked at Holy Lady Strings as the surrounding void threads swiftly surrounded him. As Holy Lady Strings used her void spiderweb domain to deal with Meng Chuan, she looked at the dispirited black-robed man in shock.

  Holy Lady Strings didn’t recognize this dispirited-looking man at all.

  Who is he? Holy Lady Strings was puzzled and cautious. The demons had no information regarding Dao Protector Wang Shan. However, Holy Lady Strings knew that Meng Chuan alone had dealt with the five of them. Now that he suddenly summoned a human Godfiend, one that the demons didn’t have intelligence on, it meant that this human Godfiend was definitely very special.

  Holy Lady Strings’s Essence Soul domain sensed something. Not good.

  A pitch-black, strange awl instantly flew out from Dao Protector Wang Shan’s position.

  Holy Lady Strings vaguely sensed a great threat to her life.

  Holy Lady Strings immediately guessed, Magic Awl.

  Meng Chuan’s Essence Soul mystic technique had severely injured Demon Sage Nine Abyss. To deal with Holy Lady Strings, it wasn’t Meng Chuan that used his Magic Awl this time, but the mysterious Godfiend!

  The Magic Awl was too fast! Pfft.

  The awl pierced the huge black lotus formed from the Power of Essence Soul Holy Lady Strings’s Essence Soul had also become a corporeal black lotus. At this moment, it was being attacked by the black Magic Awl.

  “Ahhh!!!” Holy Lady Strings had very high Essence Soul talent, but because she wanted to become a demon sage, she mainly focused on her technique realm. In regards to Essence Soul mystic techniques, she mainly focused on cultivating the Black Lotus mystic technique. She also received pointers from Cave Lord White Azure, but her cultivation of her Essence Soul wasn’t too brilliant.

  The Magic Awl forcefully pierced through layers of the corporeal black lotus’s petals.

  When the Magic Awl pierced through, it also destroyed Holy Lady String’s Essence Soul’s Origins.

  A sixth-level Essence Soul was even more magical. One could form an Essence Soul avatar, and it could be condensed and dispersed at will. Logically speaking, even if one’s Essence Soul was blasted apart, it could instantly fuse back together. However, the Magic Awl was extremely destructive, destroying the Essence Soul’s Origins directly. This caused Holy Lady Strings to let out a painful howl. However, as a fifth Firmament demon monarch with the highest technique realm, her mind and willpower were extraordinary. She could still maintain a basic level of clarity, but she was incapable of using any profound, exquisite moves.

  She saw Meng Chuan charging over and immediately shouted angrily, “Run!”

  Just as she spoke

  Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

  Bloodblades struck the void silk cocoon crazily. The intense pain in her Essence Soul prevented her from perfectly controlling the void spider silk cocoon. Due to this, she couldn’t divert the Bloodblades’ strength. All she could do was rely on the void silk cocoon to resist.

  With a boom, the void cocoon shattered.

  Pfft! Pfft!

  The Bloodblades struck her body repeatedly.

  Holy Lady Strings was in human form; her robes were rather gorgeous. At that moment, the robes naturally extended, protecting every vital point. Despite the Bloodblades striking her, her robes remained intact.

  A spider demon monarch could naturally spin spider silk. The void spiderweb domain was formed by Holy Lady Strings’s demonic powers combined with the Strings Technique—which was in the late stages of the Grotto-Heaven realm. Therefore, it could cover a radius of hundreds of kilometers. The robe on Holy Lady Strings’s body was a robe made of spider silk! This robe was her strongest defensive technique.

  In terms of defense, the spider silk robe was several times stronger than the void silk cocoon.

  She could also control the spider silk robe to kill people. It had much greater offensive strength than her void threads. However, the length and the quantity of the spider silk were limited. The spider silk’s most suitable range for combat was half a kilometer around Holy Lady Strings.

  This was the true reason why she could survive Monarch Peacock.

  Boom! Boom! Boom!

  The Bloodblades struck Holy Lady Strings’s robe. Meng Chuan’s Demon Slayer slashed repeatedly, but he couldn’t tear the robe apart. Her robe extended from her neck, protect
ing her head. He couldn’t injure her at all.

  What? Meng Chuan originally thought that Holy Lady Strings’s strength would be greatly reduced after being struck by Wang Shan’s Essence Soul mystic technique. Believing that she had limited means, he thought he had a chance of killing her at close range.

  Who would have thought that he still couldn’t kill her?

  Pfft.

  The Magic Awl pierced through Holy Lady Strings’s Essence Soul again, causing her to wail in pain. Quicksand and the mountain demon had already begun fleeing separately.

  Even Holy Lady Strings was wailing in pain despite having a sixth-level Essence Soul. How could they withstand that?

  Meng Chuan’s Heaven Earth Control and Flowing Sand, as well as the Bloodblades failed to do anything to Holy Lady Strings. This chilled Meng Chuan’s heart. He knew that his technique realm was ultimately lacking. Even with his body-which was stronger than that of the mountain demon and Blood Shura-he couldn’t do anything to Holy Lady Strings despite using the Tribulation treasure, Bloodblade Disc.

  “A crack has appeared on the Magic Awl,” said Wang Shan via voice transmission.

  The Magic Awl was extremely powerful, but it was too brittle. Every time it pierced through Holy Lady Strings’s Essence Soul, it would damage her body while incurring damage on itself.

  “Kill the other two demon monarchs,” said Meng Chuan immediately.

  “Alright.” Dao Protector Wang Shan also understood the situation. He instantly sent out the Magic Awl.

  Quicksand had already transformed into black mud and fled underground. The Magic Awl instantly caught up to him and passed through him! The black mud immediately stopped flowing and transformed into a black-skinned youth, who was covered in scales. He quietly lay underground and no longer made a sound.

  Quicksand died.

  Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!

  The black Magic Awl attacked the mountain demon next.

  However, the towering mountain demon had already disintegrated into tens of thousands of tiny stone golems. Some flew in the sky, while others ran on the ground. Some also burrowed underground.
