If he had remained in the human world, hadn’t painted the purple lightning again, and hadn’t constantly contemplated the mysteries of a forming world, he might have needed another five to six years to accomplish this feat.
I became a Regis Godfiend at the age of 55. I’m now 63 years old. It took me about eight years to reach the peak of the Dharma Domain realm. Logically speaking, it’s even harder to reach the Grotto-Heaven realm from the peak of the Dharma Domain realm. Considering my current cultivation speed, I will reach the Grotto-Heaven realm after about ten years. However, that is only if I follow an ordinary cultivation path. If I follow the Infinite Saber’s extreme path, it will be difficult for me to reach the Grotto-Heaven realm.
The Infinite Saber Art pursued the limits of speed.
In human history, nobody had ever broken free of the world’s shackles. Nobody had ever reached the Grotto-Heaven realm by following the path of pure speed in the human world.
To break free of the world’s shackles with extreme speed?
The difficulty of doing such a thing was very high.
Some experts in the River of Spacetime could do it. Even some powerful Tribulation Eminences could do it.
Therefore, the three ultimate techniques that he had infused with his insights of the Bloodblade Disc’s runes—Lightning Realm, Three World Saber, and Lightning Walk-could definitely break free of the world’s shackles.
Whether it’s the Bloodblade Disc or the three ultimate techniques, there’s only one way to break through the limits of pure speed.With the Flash Form of Lightning as the core, I will fuse the Wave Splitting Forms of Lightning and the Yin-Yang Form of Lightning with it. Only by fusing the three forms together can I break the world’s shackles with pure speed alone.
One had to fuse more forms together as they traveled further down their cultivation path.
Meng Chuan estimated that he would learn Golden Lotus Descent by fusing five formsEndless Form of Destruction, Perfect Harmonization Form of Destruction, Void Form of Destruction, Flash Form of Lightning, and Yin-Yang Form of Lightning-together.
The higher one’s attainments, the more forms they had to fuse.
Meng Chuan felt that he had to combine all 15 forms together if he wanted to learn Lightning Realm and Three World Saber. The 15 forms only represented elements contained within the purple lightning. Different chefs made different things with the same ingredients.The same Fifteen Lightning Forms would ultimately form different techniques when using different fusion methods.
I’ve already reached the peak of the Dharma Domain realm for Flash Form of Lightning. My Yin-Yang Form of Lightning and Wave Splitting Forms of Lightning need to reach the peak of the Dharma Domain realm independently. Only by fusing the three perfectly will I be able to break free of the world’s shackles. Infinite Saber will also reach the Grotto-Heaven realm. The most difficult thing is the fusion of the three forms.
On the contrary, my Cloud Dragon Snake Movement Technique doesn’t have to break free of the world’s shackles. It might reach the Grotto-Heaven realm earlier than the Infinite Saber Art.
Three years and six months after he entered the World Gap, his Cloud Dragon Snake Movement Technique also reached the peak of the Dharma Domain realm.
For this ultimate technique, Meng Chuan did not go to the extremes of a singular aspect. Thus, he didn’t need to break free of the world’s shackles for this particular technique. Meng Chuan estimated that the Cloud Dragon Snake Movement Technique would reach the Grotto-Heaven realm in another decade or so. However, he couldn’t tell how long the Infinite Saber Art would take. It was very likely that he wouldn’t be able to break through the bottleneck.
Three years and 11 months after Meng Chuan came to the World Gap.
Huh?
King True Martial and Peng Mu, who were cultivating, suddenly sensed something. They turned their heads and looked in a direction. Soon, Yun Jianhai also sensed something and turned his head to look. Only Meng Chuan didn’t sense anything. He was in a ghostly state as he cultivated the Cloud Dragon Snake Movement Technique.
Chapter 431 - Repeated Attempts
Eighteen Meng Chuans appeared in the outside world. They looked real, but it was difficult to tell the fake from the real.
As for Meng Chuan’s true body, it hid in the deep void. Due to the Cloud Dragon Snake Movement Technique reaching the peak of the Dharma Domain realm, he could enter deeper into the void. Meng Chuan also formed more embodiments in the outside world because of the breakthrough.
“Junior Brother Meng,” shouted Peng Mu.
Huh? The many figures dissipated. Meng Chuan stopped executing the Cloud Dragon Snake Movement Technique, leaving the deep void. He saw King True Martial, Peng Mu, and Yun Jianhai gather.
“What happened?” Meng Chuan phased over nervously. “Has the world membrane been penetrated? Have the demon monarchs arrived in the World Gap?”
“No,” said Peng Mu with a chuckle. “We sensed a very special fluctuation. It’s likely that a treasure has appeared in the World Gap. It’s very likely an Origins treasure.” The birth of a valuable treasure? Meng Chuan was delighted. He had been cultivating in the World Gap for more than three years. Ordinary treasures occasionally appeared, but they weren’t at the level of Spacetime Floating Ice or intrinsic treasures.
The World Gap would take decades, even centuries, to take form completely.
Typically, not more than ten Origins treasures could be found in a World Gap! To encounter one in a few years was considered lucky.
“It’s about 4,000 kilometers from here,” said King True Martial. “Let’s hurry over and take a look.”
“Let’s go.” Nobody hesitated. Meng Chuan released his Seamless domain and brought everyone along with him. He was extremely fast. On their way, they picked up 12 ordinary treasures. They were likely treasures that had landed in the past three years. Since no demon monarchs entered the World Gap and the Godfiends had been cultivating, the treasures remained on the ground the entire time. Meng Chuan and company picked them up in passing
“We can take a good look around the World Gap in a while. Perhaps we might discover some treasures,” said King True Martial with a smile. “Ordinary treasures are useful. Every bit counts.”
“Blood Soul Stones are relatively common. If we gather more, they can be used as raw materials for the Godfiend Blood Pool,” said Peng Mu.
When one took the three large sects and their outer sect disciples into account, hundreds of mortals would challenge the Life-and-Death juncture every year. The Godfiend Blood Pool was drained every year, so it was naturally alarming how much was used over time. Even Supremacies worried about it; they tried their best to gather the raw materials that fueled the Godfiend Blood Pool.
Huh? The four Godfiends flew for ten minutes before arriving at the source of the fluctuation. At that moment, they summoned Dao Protector Wang Shan. The five of them looked into the distance.
Boom!
azur
An azure wind howled, destroying the world. The ground shattered as the void distorted.
With their eyesight, they could barely see the core of the strong winds. In the eye of the storm, they could see an azure egg vaguely.
These winds… Meng Chuan discovered that the howling winds had an azure glow to them. This azure glow was almost identical to the colorful energies that Meng Chuan had seen cause intense destruction before. “Is it the Power of Origins?”
Meng Chuan knew that the colorful energy was the Power of Origins after causing immense worldly destruction. It was world-creating energy; it left one shuddering in fear.
There was only one possibility for the Power of Origins to gather here.
It’s an Origins treasure. Furthermore, it’s a wind-type Origins treasure.
“This place actually produced the Origins of Wind treasure,” said King True Martial in amazement. “Origins treasures only appear when a world is born. They are extremely precious. As for the Origins of Wind treas
ure, it’s even more unique. They typically have intelligence. Once they are completely formed, they will tear out of their eggshell and fly away with inconceivable speed. They like freedom; they typically fly away from the world they are born in, and fly freely in the outer realm.”
“Even Imperial Lords in the River of Spacetime find it very difficult to capture them,” said King True Martial. “As for us? We have to capture them before they form completely. Once they tear out of the eggshell, it will be impossible for us to capture them.”
Meng Chuan and company nodded.
“This wind contains the Power of Origins within the World Gap,” said King True Martial. “Let me give it a try.”
He extended his hand. Blurry, gray energy gathered into a ball and spun into the wind.
“I formed that sphere with my Tribulation treasure’s power. It has an extremely tough defense,” said King True Martial. Chi! Chi! Chi!
The wind howled as it raged across the land. It also blew past the blurry, gray sphere. Many cracks appeared on its surface, but it resisted the wind tenaciously and healed rapidly. It continued flying towards the Origins of Wind treasure.
However, the wind was strong. Sometimes it was strong; sometimes it was weak. The deeper one went, the stronger the wind was.
After flying for more than 100 kilometers, the strong winds shattered the blurry, gray sphere shattered, causing it to dissipate completely.
“I can’t defend against it.” King True Martial shook his head when he saw this scene. “I won’t be able to resist the Origins of Wind.”
After obtaining a Tribulation treasure and breaking through, King True Martial had strength close to Meng Tiange and Xu Yingwu. Only Qin Wu, Bai Yaoyue, and Li Guan were confident of defeating King True Martial in a few moves. However, even with his strength, he couldn’t withstand the Origins of Wind with his defensive means.
The other Regis Godfiends… had no hope of making it through the wind.
It can’t be withstood head-on. Meng Chuan also sensed the might of the wind. The destructive wind warped the void, preventing him from entering the deep void. If he resisted the wind head-on with his body, he would just die.
Peng Mu smiled. “I’ll try.”
With a wave of his hand, an azure-colored vine flew out from his hand and into the wind. “This is an Imperial Lord-level treasure. I’ll forget about cracking this Origins of Wind, but it won’t be difficult for it to travel 500 kilometers into the wind.”
The azure-colored vines grew longer and longer. When they extended more than 15 kilometers into the gale, the violent winds became even more turbulent. The azure vines swayed from the wind, unable to travel any further.
The wind is too powerful. Furthermore, it rejects all external objects. It’s impossible for the vines to go further. Peng Mu’s face flushed red as he commanded the azure vines to shrink rapidly. “I won’t try. My sword art is good for killing enemies head-on. Obtaining treasures? It simply won’t do,” said Yun Jianhai calmly
Wang Shan shook his head. “There’s nothing I can do either.”
King True Martial looked at Meng Chuan. “Junior Brother Meng, do you have any ideas?”
“I’ll observe the wind first.” Meng Chuan had a bold idea in mind. He carefully observed the gale, inspecting it with his electromagnetic domain and Seamless domain.
At that moment, five figures flew over from afar. They were the alliance team from Two World Island and Black Sand Grotto-Heaven. King Thousand Wood, King Molten, and company flew down together.
“It’s a Origins of Wind treasure.”
“The gale spans a very large area-500 kilometers?”
King Thousand Wood and King Molten watched in amazement.
“You’re one step faster than us,” said King Molten with a smile. “It looks like you didn’t manage to take away this Origins treasure.” “You can give it a try,” said King True Martial with a smile.
The three major sects were still very tightly knit. No matter which sect obtained it, it would be a boon to humanity.
“I’ll go first,” said King Transcendence coldly. A black figure suddenly flew out from his body. It entered the gale and, although the wind was devastating, it couldn’t touch the black figure at all. However, as it approached, the black figure began to distort when it had traveled more than 50 kilometers into the gale. The black figure quickly retreated and returned to King Transcendence’s body. King Transcendence’s face was pale, and his eyes were dim.
King Molten and King Northcleanse frowned when they saw this. They both felt that their companion, King Transcendence, had a high chance of success. They never expected this to happen.
“I’ll give it a try as well,” said King Gu Eyes. With a wave of his hand, more than 10,000 Gu worms flew out. These Gu worms were extremely fast, and there was still some distance between the gales. However, the Origins of Wind was too fast, making it difficult for them to burrow through the cracks.
Even so, these Gu worms agilely flew through the gaps in the wind. They continued to venture deeper into the wind. However, the deeper they went, the denser the winds became. Once the Origins of Wind swept past them, the Gu worms were reduced to dust.
“It doesn’t work.” King Gu Eyes also realized that something was amiss. The Gu worms traveled 50 kilometers into the wind before retreating. King Gu Eyes retrieved his Gu Worms; there were over 3,000 Gu worms left.
Those with means of traversing the wind tried, but everyone failed.
“The winds are too strong,” said King Molten helplessly as he shook his head. Although a World Gap produced Origins treasures, it was difficult to obtain them, even if they were placed in front of them.
Meng Chuan carefully observed the winds as he calculated his probability of succeeding.
I have a 20 to 30 percent chance of succeeding. I can give it a try.
Chapter 432 - Movement Technique Limits
“The Origins of Wind revolves around the 500-kilometer area.” King Thousand Wood watched from afar. “It’s extremely powerful. The closer we get to the Origins of Wind’s core, the denser and stronger the wind becomes. We Regis Godfiends are unable to approach it.”
“The wind will form a vortex that repels all external objects. Our weapons won’t be able to approach it,” said Peng Mu. Powerful weapons could withstand the Origins of Wind. If the wind vortex didn’t repel their weapons, they could control them to approach the core and obtain the treasure.
King True Martial, King Molten, and company watched from afar as they pondered on ways to obtain the treasure. After all, it was an Origins treasure. There were too many uses for it. The World Origins nurtured Origins treasures. Origins treasures could be used as the Godfiend Blood Pool’s source of power.
It could also be fused with the World Origins of their world, strengthening it. If the world were to face the danger of being downgraded in the future, the Origins treasures would be able to extend the world’s life and maintain its middle-level world identity.
It could also be used to refine treasures and for cultivation.
Origins treasures had many uses, but they were few in number. It was very difficult to find them, even for Tribulation Eminences. This was because an Origins treasure would only appear when a world was still forming.
“Let me try.” A voice rang out.
Everyone turned to look. Meng Chuan was the person who spoke. Meng Chuan carefully observed the giant wind vortex and walked towards it.
Yun Jianhai could not help but say, “Junior Brother, be careful.”
Meng Chuan extended his right hand and touched the wind at the periphery. This puzzled the other Godfiends. He touched the Origins of Wind with his finger?
Pfft.
A wisp of azure wind sliced through Meng Chuan’s fingertip. It barely managed to slice through his Indestructible Divine Armor’s membrane, leaving a tiny wound on Meng Chuan’s fingertip.
Meng Chuan retracted his finger and thought to himself, It’s similar to what
I expected. Just a wisp of Origins of Wind is already this powerful. If I were to be buffeted by the wind, I should be able to escape—though I would have severe injuries—as long as I stay in the periphery. Once I reach the vortex’s depths, my body will probably be ground to pieces instantly. I won’t be able to escape.
However, the Origins of Wind only has powerful destructive properties. It doesn’t have any consciousness, and it doesn’t know how to kill enemies through karma. I just need to leave a drop of blood behind so that I can come back to life if the wind destroys my body. I can take the gamble.
Meng Chuan had left a drop of blood on Archean Mountain. Meng Chuan had now left some of his blood in his Grotto-Heaven Magic Bead.
“Senior Brother Wang, I’ll leave this Grotto-Heaven Magic Bead in your care for the moment.” Meng Chuan flipped his hand and handed the Grotto-Heaven Magic Bead to Wang Shan. Puzzled, the Dao Protector received it.
The Origins of Wind was too powerful. Meng Chuan wasn’t confident that the Grotto-Heaven Magic Bead could withstand the wind. However, he was certain that a Tribulation treasure could withstand it.
Meng Chuan smiled at King True Martial and said, “Senior Brother, if I fail, I hope you can help me retrieve this Bloodblade Disc.”
If his body was destroyed, he wouldn’t be able to control the Bloodblade Disc.
“You are entering with your real body?” King True Martial guessed. He couldn’t help but be shocked. The other Godfiends also looked at Meng Chuan in shock.
“King Eastcalm, your life concerns the entire war. Don’t be rash,” said King Molten immediately.
“King Eastcalm, don’t take the risk,” said King Thousand Wood worriedly.
Meng Chuan killed one million demon monarchs alone.
Without Meng Chuan, the demons could send demon monarchs in over a span of several years. When one million demon monarchs infiltrated the human world, the human world would once again enter a nightmare.
