  “I have absolute confidence in staying alive,” said Meng Chuan. “Everyone, don’t worry.”

  “Oh?” Everyone present heard the confidence in his voice. He has absolute confidence in staying alive?

  “Since King Eastcalm is confident, we won’t stop you. However, King Eastcalm, you must remember that your life is of paramount importance,” reminded King Molten.

  Meng Chuan smiled and nodded. Following that, he floated up and stepped on the Bloodblade Disc.

  Swoosh.

  Meng Chuan transformed into a blur and flew into the vortex.

  “He’s using his movement technique to charge in just like that?” King Gu Eyes couldn’t help but speak when he saw this. “His speed is unparalleled in the world. He is definitely much more agile than my Gu Worms with his movement technique. However, the Origins of Wind’s movements is irregular. The further one goes into the area, the denser the wind becomes. The tiny Gu worms… only managed to travel 50 kilometers in.”

  “Watch,” said King True Martial.

  Most of the Godfiends present were nervous.

  Meng Chuan stepped on the Bloodblade Disc and flew agilely. The Origins of Wind was terrifying; it caused the void to distort wherever it blew.

  Perhaps, after replicating Supremacy Ye Hong’s accomplishments and becoming capable of entering the deep void, the Origins of Wind wouldn’t pose a threat. However, there was still a huge gap between Meng Chuan and Supremacy Ye Hong. Swish! Swish! Swish!

  With the help of the Bloodblade Disc and his movement technique-which was at the peak of the Dharma Domain realm-Meng Chuan moved unpredictably. He passed through the gaps in the wind and constantly ventured deeper into the area.

  The wind became denser as he went further into the massive vortex.

  “What speed!”

  “King Eastcalm’s movement technique is indeed amazing. It’s unpredictable and extremely fast.” The Regis Godfiends watching by the side sighed in amazement. With the Bloodblade Disc, Meng Chuan could traverse more than 50 kilometers in a second! Of course, the violent wind vortex’s environment didn’t allow him to barge in forcefully. Thus, the variations in his movement technique were even more important than pure speed. In the blink of an eye, Meng Chuan had executed 100 variations of his movement technique as he passed through the gaps of the violent wind.

  The wind is getting denser. When Meng Chuan traversed 75 kilometers into the vortex, he felt immense pressure acting on him. With a thought, silver runes surfaced on Meng Chuan’s forehead. Strands of silver lightning flashed around his head, and silver lightning filled his eyes. At that moment, everything Meng Chuan saw in the world slowed down to about 10% of its original speed.

  Divine power—Flowing Sand.

  Now that the Origins of Wind had only 10% of its normal speed, Meng Chuan immediately felt much more relaxed. He stepped on the Bloodblade Disc and rapidly traveled further into the vortex.

  100 kilometers, 150 kilometers, 200 kilometers…

  He rapidly approached the center of the vortex. “This…”

  “This movement technique?”

  The Regis Godfiends—who were watching by the side-stared at Meng Chuan in shock. Even King True Martial found the scene unbelievable.

  Originally, Meng Chuan’s movement technique was still within their scope of understanding. However, after using his divine power, Meng Chuan’s movement technique had become unimaginably ghostly. They only saw countless afterimages of Meng Chuan as he passed through the seemingly dense wind.

  “He has to be moving at a speed of almost 40 kilometers per second,” said King Northclease softly as he watched. “What’s most terrifying is that he can control himself so exquisitely even when he’s moving at such speeds. Even while he’s moving at such a terrifying speed, he has executed at least 100 different variations of his movement technique in the blink of an eye. As for how many times he has changed direction, I can’t tell.”

  “I can’t tell either,” said King Gu Eyes. “In the face of such a movement technique, my attacks can’t touch him at all. However, he can attack me at will.”

  King Molten nodded. “With such speed, he can change direction at least hundreds of times in the blink of an eye. How can his Essence Soul react in time?”

  Even these Regis Godfiends felt like this exceeded their Essence Souls’ reaction time.

  Meng Chuan traveled a distance of over 50 kilometers while on the Bloodblade Disc. With his divine power-Flowing Sand-his maximum speed in the wind was over 500 kilometers per second! If he executed the Infinite Saber movement technique endlessly, he could travel 800 kilometers per second. With the Cloud Dragon Snake Movement Technique and the Bloodblade Disc, he could travel 600 kilometers in a second.

  However, one might not be able to control themselves if they moved too fast.

  When facing Holy Lady String’s void spiderweb domain, countless void threads would block them for several hundreds of kilometers as long as they were within her domain. If he were to charge through Holy Lady String’s domain at maximum speed, he would likely collide with many void threads. It was like how a mortal easily lost control and bumped into obstacles when they ran too quickly. Meng Chuan encountered similar problems when moving at speeds beyond his control.

  He was too fast on the Bloodblade Disc. It was naturally fine for him to be moving at such speeds while carrying out underground reconnaissance. However, when fighting powerful opponents like Holy Lady Strings, he needed to control his movements perfectly.

  Before this, when he used Flowing Sand, he could perfectly control his movements when he moved 250 kilometers per second. With this speed, he could dodge the dense void spiderweb domain easily.

  Now that his Cloud Dragon Snake Movement Technique had broken through and reached the peak of the Dharma Domain realm, he could perfectly control his movements while moving at a speed of 450 kilometers per second. If he moved any faster, he would lose control. If he lost control, he would only be sending himself to his death.

  Chapter 433 - Returning to Archean Mountain

  Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

  With the help of the Bloodblade Disc, Meng Chuan became faster and more unpredictable with the Cloud Dragon Snake Movement Technique.

  His divine power—Flowing Sand-allowed Meng Chuan’s Essence Soul to have enough time to execute the inconceivable movement technique.

  He left behind countless afterimages as he went deeper into the vortex. The Regis Godfiends watching from the side couldn’t see him executing his movement technique at all.

  There’s still 15 kilometers left—10 kilometers. Meng Chuan could already see the huge azure egg at the core of the Origins of Wind vortex. However, the final stretch had even denser winds. There were almost no gaps that he could exploit.

  The wind is too dense. Even with Flowing Sand, Meng Chuan’s perception of the outside world only slowed down to a quarter of its original speed. The eye of the storm still alarmed Meng Chuan. In the azure egg’s vicinity, there were no gaps in the wind.

  As long as the wind blows, there will be dense and sparse areas. I’ll risk it. Meng Chuan hesitated for a moment when he was about five kilometers from the azure egg. Thousands of afterimages appeared around him. The Origins of Wind’s density here couldn’t threaten him.

  Charge! With a thought, Meng Chuan unleashed his divine power-Heaven Earth Control! At the same time, 18 Bloodblades surrounded his body.

  When Flowing Sand only affected his body, it consumed the least amount of energy. It lasted 15 seconds, but it felt like 150 seconds to Meng Chuan.

  Flowing Sand could affect other things besides himself. He could affect the flow of time in an entire area. The larger the area, the greater the expenditure. Therefore, Meng Chuan only released his Bloodblades at the final moment. The invisible power of Flowing Sand also touched the 18 Bloodblades.

  Boom!

  Instantly, he executed 127 movements. In the final stretch, there wasn’t a single gap in the wind at all. Me
ng Chuan chose the sparsest spot and charged forward. Meng Chuan reached his maximum speed during this final charge.

  Pfft.

  Even the sparsest spot here had more terrifying winds than at the periphery!

  The moment Meng Chuan charged forward, the 18 Bloodblades’ protection trembled slightly before collapsing. However, in the blink of an eye, Meng Chuan arrived in front of the azure egg

  Retrieve. Meng Chuan’s palm touched the azure egg and forcefully stored it into a void treasure.

  The moment the azure egg entered the void treasure, the surrounding Origins of Wind seemed to lose its source. It rapidly weakened and dissipated.

  Meng Chuan’s legs had been ground to dust. Red blood spread out in all directions. The Origins of Wind had pulverized his legs.

  Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

  The blood and flesh on the ground rapidly flew back to Meng Chuan’s body. His legs rapidly regenerated to its previous state as the Bloodblade Disc flew back.

  After reaching the Blood Droplet realm, he wouldn’t die as long as the particle worlds remained intact. Meng Chuan would only die when all the particle worlds were destroyed. The Origins of Wind sweeping past felt like countless blades slicing through Meng Chuan’s legs. Although it reduced Meng Chuan’s legs to a bloody mist, the other particle worlds in his body remained intact.

  With a thought, all the dispersed particles returned to his body. He recovered in a few seconds.

  I succeeded. Meng Chuan looked at the void bracelet and sensed the azure egg inside. The Origins of Wind treasure had yet to be born, so it was very obedient. Huh? From afar, the other Regis GodfiendsKing Molten, King Gu Eyes, King True Martial, etc-saw Meng Chuan’s legs burst into a bloody mist. However, in the blink of an eye, he completely recovered.

  King Molten and the others were shocked by the sight. His recovery speed is truly astonishing

  During the treasure obtaining process, Meng Chuan’s showcased movement technique and vitality left them somewhat shocked. Meng Chuan didn’t care about revealing his strength because the demons already knew nearly everything about him. There was no need to hide anything from his human comrades.

  Be it from him resisting Demon Sage Nine Abyss’s punch or fighting Holy Lady Strings, the demons could deduce that Meng Chuan’s body was very strong. Furthermore, they guessed that he probably had more than one divine power.

  Whoosh.

  Meng Chuan flew back to the Godfiends.

  “King Eastcalm, your movement technique has really broadened our horizons,” said King Northcleanse in amazement.

  “With King Eastcalm’s strength, the demons won’t be able to threaten him.” King Thousand Wood smiled as well. With this movement technique, the demons were also unable to enter the World Gap from the human world since he could catch up to them easily.

  Meng Chuan’s strength made these Regis Godfiends feel at ease. After all, Meng Chuan’s influence on the war was too great. “Congratulations to Archean Mountain for obtaining the Origins treasure. We’ll take our leave first,” said King Molten.

  “Farewell,” said King Gu Eyes and company.

  Soon, the Black Sand Grotto-Heaven and Two World Island team left. Dao Protector Wang Shan returned to the Grotto-Heaven Magic Bead. Following that, Meng Chuan and company began to fly around the World Gap.

  After traveling for five days in the World Gap, Meng Chuan and company picked up several ordinary treasures. Following that, they blasted open a rift in both world membranes and returned to Archean Mountain.

  The Origins of Wind treasure was too precious. They naturally had to send it back to the sect as soon as possible.

  Boom!

  After King True Martial blasted open a passageway, the four Godfiends flew into the opening and returned to the human world.

  The moment they returned, Meng Chuan and company landed on Archean Mountain’s nameless mountain. It was late at night in the human world, and the moon hung high in the sky. It was bleak.

  “Why are all of you back?” Li Guan brought an illusory Qin Wu and an illusory Luo Tang over; they looked at Meng Chuan’s team in surprise.

  “We encountered an Origins of Wind treasure in the World Gap,” said King True Martial with a smile. “All the Regis Godfiends—including those from Black Sand Grotto-Heaven and Two World Island-tried to obtain the treasure. However, none of us managed to snatch the treasure. In the end, Junior Brother Meng took action and obtained the Origins treasure in one fell swoop.” “Origins of Wind treasure?” Li Guan, Qin Wu, and Luo Tang revealed looks of delight.

  “Before this Origins treasure is born, it’s protected by the Origins of Wind. Once it’s born, the Origins of Wind treasure would be extremely intelligent. Even an Imperial Lord would find it difficult to capture the treasure. You actually obtained it?” Li Guan was rather excited.

  Qin Wu smiled at Meng Chuan. “Well done.”

  “After learning that it was an Origins of Wind treasure, I went all out. My luck wasn’t too bad,” said Meng Chuan with a smile. As a Sect Proprietor, Meng Chuan knew very well that Archean Mountain’s cornerstone treasure—the Heaven and Earth Great Hall—was in desperate need of an Origins of Wind treasure.

  Back then, with Ancestral Master Archean Eon’s status, many alien experts had offered their homeworld’s Origins treasures in exchange for benefits. However, Origins of Wind treasures would always slip away after they were born, making it much more difficult to find them. Ancestral Master Archean Eon had only found six in his life. Some of them had been used to upgrade the world. Over the years, not a single one had been found.

  “The Origins of Wind treasure and other ordinary treasures—found in the World Gapare in this void treasure.” Meng Chuan handed the void bracelet to Li Guan.

  Li Guan took it. “Good.”

  “Then we’ll head back,” said King True Martial. They had to continue staying in the World Gap for a long time. “The three of you go back first. Meng Chuan, stay behind,” said Li Guan. Meng Chuan was somewhat puzzled by the order.

  King True Martial and company nodded. They tore through the world membranes and returned to the World Gap.

  “What’s the matter?” Meng Chuan looked at the three Supremacies curiously. His mission in the World Gap was of utmost importance now. If there was nothing important, the Supremacies wouldn’t stop him from returning to the World Gap.

  Li Guan, Qin Wu, and Luo Tang exchanged looks.

  “There’s a troublesome matter.” Li Guan looked at Meng Chuan. “This matter is a little strange.”

  “Strange?” Meng Chuan listened carefully.

  Chapter 434 - Anomaly

  Li Guan said solemnly, “In the past few months, two cities in our Great Zhou Dynasty have suffered mysterious attacks. A million people died each time.”

  “What? A million people?” Meng Chuan’s expression changed. Ever since he resolved the threat of a million demon monarchs, the entire human race felt that peace had arrived. The remaining demon monarchs—who were hiding in small grotto-heavens—could not stir up much trouble. Meng Chuan, King True Martial, King Thousand Wood, and the other powerful Regis Godfiends-were now thinking of dealing with the World Gap’s threat. Once accomplished, the human race would likely obtain final victory over the demons.

  However, to their surprise, while Meng Chuan and company were in the World Gap, the Great Zhou Dynasty was attacked twice, and a million people ended up dying each time.

  “Although the demons attacked the cities in the past, every city was guarded by Godfiends. It’s rare to have so many casualties in a single city,” said Meng Chuan. “Who’s the murderer? A demon sage?”

  “The reason why it’s so strange is because of the bizarre means involved. Furthermore, we still don’t know who the murderer is,” said Li Guan. “The Godfiends guarding the city discovered a terrifying force in the city. It devoured all mortal living beings within a radius of dozens of kilometers. The flesh and blood of countless living beings turned into lifebloo
d and were devoured. Their sins were also devoured before it completely vanished.”

  “Devouring lifeblood and sin? It’s very similar to my Demon Slayer. However, Demon Slayer only devours the lives it killed. Furthermore, it needs to be in close proximity.” Meng Chuan frowned. “It devoured all lives within dozens of kilometers? Did the Godfiends guarding the city manage to figure out the murderer’s identity?

  “No.” Li Guan shook his head. “The first attack happened three months ago. A Guardian Divine Beast was guarding the city that was attacked. That Guardian Divine Beast has the strength of a Regis Godfiend. It pursued the mysterious murderer with all its might. However, the mysterious murderer vanished without it catching up.

  “The second attack was on a city that three Marquis Godfiends guarded. The fastest among them saw a blurry figure densely shrouded in lifeblood and sin. There was no way to tell if it was a demon or human. The mysterious murderer also disappeared. The Marquis Godfiends couldn’t track it at all.

  “Both attacks happened suddenly, and the culprit vanished in an equally sudden manner.” Li Guan frowned. “Furthermore, the culprit attacked only the cities in our Great Zhou Dynasty. Two World Island and Black Sand Grotto-Heaven were not attacked.”

  Meng Chuan’s expression turned solemn. “It sounds like some evil cultivation formula,” said Meng Chuan with a frown.

  In human history, there were some very evil cultivation formulas. When humans didn’t face external enemies, the internal strife was very intense. Some Godfiends treated mortals as nothing but poultry. Some even used evil cultivation methods. Similarly, Demon Slayer was an evil weapon. However, it became a powerful weapon in Meng Chuan’s hands.

  After the demon invasion, the three major sects abandoned their past grudges and joined forces to fight the enemy. They clearly forbade internal strife!

  Any fratricide and fatal harming of Godfiends was considered a serious crime once there was conclusive evidence on their misdeeds. Many ancient and evil formulas from the past had been sealed and were forbidden to be imparted. For example, cultivating the Sanguine Divine Body was too painful. Thus, people later created methods that enabled them easy progress, but it was evil. They used the lives of millions of people to build their foundation. The Godfiend bodies they cultivated were known as the Sanguine Fiend Body. There were many such evil formulas, but they were no longer in existence.
