“Oh?” Meng Chuan looked at Meng An.
Meng An stared at his father with anticipation in his eyes. He stood up and cupped his hands. “Father, please give me some pointers.”
“Although An’er has just become a Marquis Godfiend, he has the strength to fight a Regis Godfiend,” said Liu Qiyue. “Ah Chuan, be careful.”
“No wonder it’s difficult for you to find suitable opponents.” Meng Chuan stood up. “Let’s go to the training grounds.” “Yes.” Meng An was very excited.
After a while, Liu Qiyue and Meng You stood by the side of the cave abode’s training grounds and watched.
“Dad, be careful.” Meng An held a silver spear in his hand, effusing a sharp aura.
“Come.” Meng Chuan stood opposite him leisurely.
Boom!
Meng An’s figure moved, and his entire body seemed to become one with the spear. A dazzling spear beam distorted the void and thrust at Meng Chuan.
Meng Chuan stood there and nodded slightly. “You have the strength of a Regis Godfiend just after becoming a Marquis Godfiend. Impressive indeed. Back then, I just barely had the combat strength of a Regis Godfiend after cultivating an Undying body. I only had sufficiently strong means of fighting a Regis Godfiend after cultivation my frost baneful aura further.”
The terrifying spear beam stabbed at Meng Chuan, but the closer it got to Meng Chuan, the greater the repulsive force that acted on it.
Meng Chuan’s surroundings were somewhat dark.
The closer Meng An got to Meng Chuan, the greater the repulsive force that acted on him.
When his spear was just three feet away from Meng Chuan, it stopped moving completely, unable to approach Meng Chuan any further. “Oh?” Meng An was taken aback.
“This is the Seamless domain,” said Meng Chuan. “It’s a technique every Regis Godfiend has. Of course, Seamless domains have varying strengths when it comes to different Regis Godfiends.”
Meng Chuan’s Blood Droplet realm body allowed his dantian space to reach its limits. He also had a fifth-level Essence Soul and was at the peak of the Dharma Domain realm, making his Quintessential Essence extremely pure.
In terms of the Seamless domain, Meng Chuan’s was twice as strong as a peak Regis Godfiend’s. With just his Seamless domain defending him alone, only peak Regis Godfiend attacks had a chance of touching Meng Chuan! However, the attacks’ strength greatly decreased by the time it made it to him.
Of course, when fighting opponents at the level of Demon Sage Nine Abyss and Holy Lady Strings, the Seamless domain’s defensive capabilities were nothing worth mentioning.
Meng An was alarmed. “The Seamless domain is so powerful.”
“That strike of yours only has the strength of an ordinary Regis Godfiend. An ordinary peak Regis Godfiend can withstand it with just the Seamless domain,” said Meng Chuan with a smile. “Alright, I’ll dispel the Seamless domain’s defense. Attack with all your might. Let me see the strength you have achieved after years of cultivation.”
“Yes.” Meng An understood the strength difference between them, but he felt that he could still give his father some surprises despite having cultivated 30 years fewer than his father.
Chapter 441 - Nine Samsara Tempering of the Heart
A spear very suddenly arrived in front of Meng Chuan without any warning.
Pfft.
Meng Chuan stood rooted to the ground as he extended his fingertip and tapped the tip of the spear. The strange force on the spear tip was completely neutralized.
Meng An didn’t hesitate to retract his spear and strike again. Instantly, spear shadows filled the sky as Meng An attacked frantically, his spear techniques unpredictable and fast.
Some spear shadows seemed to come from the wind! They were fast and ethereal. Some spear shadows seemed to come from the fire! They were violent and ferocious. Some spear shadows seemed to come from the water! They were mild and bizarre…
These spear techniques complemented each other. Each attack chained with the next relentlessly, perfectly utilizing the techniques’ speed and variations to its fullest. Although each strike was at the level of an ordinary Regis Godfiend, ordinary Regis Godfiendswho had weaker defensive means-might very well suffer. However, Meng Chuan easily blocked each attack with his finger. In terms of variability, Meng Chuan far surpassed Meng An. How could Meng Anwho had just reached the Realm of Daocompare with the Cloud Dragon Snake Saber Art, which was at the peak of the Dharma Domain realm?
In terms of speed, how could he compete with the fastest person in the world, Meng Chuan?
Therefore, Meng Chuan easily tapped the spear tip with his finger every single time.
Blocking my spear art with just a finger? Meng An felt the huge gap between them. The spear art he was proud of was too weak in front of his father.
Boom!
Meng An was very proud. He wanted his father to acknowledge his strength, so he instantly executed his ultimate technique.
The spear’s might and speed increased exponentially.
Again, Meng Chuan easily blocked it with his finger, but he was somewhat surprised by the attack. “This move has the strength of a top Regis Godfiend. Not bad!”
Back then, only after he became a Marquis Godfiend for a few years, cultivated an Undying Body, had his frost baneful aura domain and Heaven’s Wrath—his divine power — did his overall strength barely reach the standards of a top Regis Godfiend.
For his son to unleash such strength shortly after becoming a Marquis Godfiend, his son was indeed much stronger than he was back then.
Swoosh.
Meng An retracted his spear and looked at his father. He said, “Dad, you easily cracked my ultimate technique. There’s no need for me to continue attacking. Dad, my spear arts are quite good at defense. Dad, please attack. I’ll defend.”
As he spoke, the void around Meng An distorted. A five-colored light filled the area. Meng An held his spear and looked at his father.
“Alright, I’ll attack. You defend.” Meng Chuan smiled and gently stretched out his finger.
A beam of light shot out from his fingertip; it had a terrifying might.
The five-colored domain distorted as it blocked the light beam. The light beam gradually weakened as it flew closer towards Meng An.
Meng An also executed his spear art. His spear spun as it swept through the beam like a tidal wave, completely blocking it. With a boom, the beam collided with Meng An, causing him to stagger three steps back. However, he remained unharmed.
“It’s not bad that you can block a top Regis Godfiend’s attack head-on,” praised Meng Chuan. “The next move will have the strength of a peak Regis Godfiend.”
Another light beam shot out from Meng Chuan’s fingertip.
The light beam’s aura was terrifying.
In an instant, it pierced through the five-colored domain.
How fast. Meng An used his spear in an attempt to block the light beam, but the beam of light was so fast that it moved in a bizarre way. It actually brushed past Meng An’s spear shaft and headed straight for his head.
What? Meng An panicked.
As the beam approached Meng An, it grazed past his ear, leaving a bloody mark.
Meng An heaved a sigh of relief.
“It isn’t just strength that separates a top Regis Godfiend and a peak Regis Godfiend. The difference in combat prowess is also to do with one’s technique realm,” said Meng Chuan. “A peak Regis Godfiend’s techniques are even more profound than that of an ordinary Regis Godfiend. With your current spear skills, it’s naturally more than enough for you to fight an ordinary Regis Godfiend. You might even gain the upper hand against them. However, if you encounter a top Regis Godfiend, you will be at a disadvantage. If you encounter a peak Regis Godfiend, you won’t be able to fight back at
all.”
“I understand,” said Meng An respectfully before looking at Meng Chuan expectantly. “What if I encounter a Creation realm expert?”
<
br /> “A Creation realm expert?” Meng Chuan smiled.
Whoosh.
From a distance, Meng Chuan suddenly appeared in front of Meng An. He tapped Meng An’s glabella with his fingertip.
“Ah.” Meng An was shocked.
“You have just encountered a Creation realm expert,” said Meng Chuan with a smile. “You won’t even know how you died.”
Meng Chuan only had the strength of an ordinary Creation realm expert if he didn’t use a Tribulation treasure or his divine powerslike flowing Sand and Heaven Earth Control.
Meng An found it unbelievable. “Dad, I clearly didn’t even see you move with my Samsara Domain and Darkstar Domain, but you were already in front of me. You’re too fast.” “To a Creation realm expert, this bit of speed can only give them a slight advantage,” said Meng Chuan. In front of his son, he only showcased a speed of 30 kilometers per second. This speed was only slightly superior to a Creation realm expert. Of course, his true speed was 500 kilometers per second. It was also his greatest strength when he fought in the World Gap.
There was no need to show his son his true speed.
“In the past few years on the mountain, I fought Archean Mountain Lord and Elder Yi once.” Meng An looked at his father excitedly. “But, I was only slightly disadvantaged.” “Mountain Lord and Elder Yi aren’t peak Regis Godfiends,” explained Meng Chuan. “Also, they are busy. Don’t disturb them unnecessarily.”
“I understand.” Meng An nodded.
Liu Qiyue and Meng You walked over.
Liu Qiyue smiled and said, “An’er, do you understand what you’re lacking now?” “Yes.” Meng An nodded. “I was proud of my spear arts. I originally thought my defense was powerful, but now, I’ve discovered too many flaws.”
“Your father is the strongest Regis Godfiend in the world when it comes to defense,” said Liu Qiyue with a smile.
“Dad, how should I perfect my defensive means?” asked Meng An.
Meng Chuan smiled as he looked at his son. “There are two main things you should focus on. Firstly, you should improve your spear art technique realm. The higher your technique realm is, the stronger your defense will be. Secondly, learn some special defensive means such as domains, movement techniques, or even special mystic techniques.
“Take me for example,” continued Meng Chuan, “I’m the fastest person in the world. If I want to escape, Creation Supremacies and demon sages won’t be able to catch up. This is just one of my life-preservation means. I can also stand still and allow the enemy to attack me, but they will have to shatter the void to touch me. I also have defensive divine powers and a powerful body. Apart from these two things, your Essence Soul is also very important. In a life-and-death battle, the enemy will focus on attacking your flaws. If your Essence Soul is weak, the enemy will directly kill you with an Essence Soul mystic technique. No matter how high your technique realm is, it’ll be useless against Essence Soul mystic techniques.”
“Essence Soul?” Meng An nodded slightly. “Sparring is one thing, but a life-and-death battle is another matter,” said Meng Chuan. “Either you don’t have any shortcomings, or you have to be careful and keep them a secret. Once they are exposed, and your weaknesses are targeted, you will die.” Meng Chuan smiled at his son. “You have just been conferred the title of Marquis. The human world is now considered peaceful. Cultivate well and make up for your shortcomings. Make yourself stronger.”
Meng An nodded. “I will.” His initial pride had been completely crushed by his father. He could sense the huge strength difference between them. His father had only cultivated about 30 years longer than him, but the gap between them was already this huge.
“Cultivate diligently.” Meng Chuan looked at his son. “Even I am considered very weak on this path of cultivation. I haven’t even reached the minimum threshold to enter the River of Spacetime. Work hard. More World Entrances will appear in the future. All of you will have to guard them together.” Even if he could resolve the threat of the World Gap, as more and more World Entrances appeared, humanity needed enough Godfiends to guard the World Entrances.
“I will guard a city like Dad and Mom,” said Meng An.
“Remember, you have to pay attention to your Essence Soul,” reminded Meng Chuan.
Meng An nodded. “Understood.”
No wonder… It was no wonder Ancestral Master Archean Eon had such high expectations on one’s Essence Soul. It’s no wonder Ancestral Master Archean Eon made me experience the Nine Samsara Tempering of the Heart. Are the Nine Samsaras really just an illusion? Meng An thought to himself. But everything is so real. I remember those people and matters clearly.
Chapter 442 - Demon Teams
Meng Chuan enjoyed the happy family reunion at Archean Mountain. However, three days later, he returned to the World Gap.
Time passed
Years passed.
After Meng Chuan resolved the threat of a million demon monarchs, the human world experienced rare peace. It reached the point where many of the younger generation had never seen demons before.
In the blink of an eye, 15 years had passed since Meng Chuan and company had begun their mission in the World Gap.
In a dark chamber.
The chamber was engraved with dense runes. Demon Sage Fire Dragon and Demon Sage Deep Profundity stood in the chamber as they looked at the pool in front of them.
The runes emitted silver-white light. On the surface of the pool, Imperial Lord Starquix appeared.
“One more year.” Deep Profundity said respectfully, “In a year, the two of us will become the strongest below the demon sage realm.”
“Alright,” said Imperial Lord Starquix coldly. “The Demon Realm will wait another year. A year later, we will launch an all-out attack. We won’t forget your contributions if you succeed.”
“Thank you, Imperial Lord,” replied the two demon sages obediently. According to the plan, the two of them would go to two separate spots in the human world that were tens of thousands of kilometers apart. They would simultaneously blast through the world membrane and head to the World Gap.
As long as one successfully entered the World Gap, they would map the corresponding connection points between the human world and the World Gap.
With a complete map, the demons could easily send fifth Firmament demon monarchs into the human world through the World Gap.
The Demon Realm, Lady Blackmoon’s Ice Palace.
The three Imperial Lords sat in the hall.
“The all-out attack will happen in a year.” Imperial Lord Starquix looked at his two companions. “Before the all-out attack, we should first sweep the World Gap clean.”
“Yes.” Emperor Roc nodded slightly. “Over the years, our avatars have worked hard to exchange for treasures in the outer realm so that we can nurture the fifth Firmament demon monarchs at all costs. It’s time for them to repay us.” Lady Blackmoon smiled and said, “The human world’s Creation Supremacies don’t dare go to the outer realm. Even if they want to nurture Regis Godfiends, they can only use what they have accumulated in the past. They are definitely far inferior to our Demon Realm. By the way, which demon monarchs are we sending to the World Gap to hunt the Godfiends?”
Emperor Roc looked at Imperial Lord Starquix.
“I’ve already given it some thought.” Imperial Lord Starquix waved his hand, and two illusory figures appeared in midair. One was a black-robed, dragon-headed elder and a silver-robed woman with feelers on her forehead.
“Poison Dragon has a black water body. Its Essence Soul has been scattered and fused with every drop of black water,” said Imperial Lord Starquix. “Even if it suffers an attack from a Magic Awl, it can only destroy a tiny portion of the black water’s Essence Soul. The damage a Magic Awl can deal to Poison Dragon’s Essence Soul is not worth mentioning. It’s impossible for Regis Godfiends to kill Poison Dragon.”
Lady Blackmoon and Emperor Roc agreed.
“Now that Poison Dragon has refined five poi
sonous objects and a Tribulation treasureWater Essence Bead-its poisonous, black water is several times more potent. Its combat strength has also greatly increased,” said Imperial Lord Starquix with a smile. “Even if the Creation Supremacies-Qin Wu and Li Guan—in the human world were to attack, they would probably only be able to trap Poison Dragon’s black water body and seal it. It would be very difficult to kill Poison Dragon.”
The black water body was truly perfect. With his black water body, Patriarch Poison Dragon reigned supreme in the Demon Realm. “Demon Monarch Coldmonon is the other person we’re sending in.” Imperial Lord Starquix pointed at the silver-robed woman. “There are three fifth Firmament demon monarchs that have a sixth-level Essence Soul. Demon Monarch Coldmoon is one of them. Furthermore, she has successfully transformed into a phantom lifeform and can travel through the shadow world. With a Tribulation treasure, she has the ability to act alone.”
When Lady Blackmoon heard that, she couldn’t help but say, “Although the two of them have quite powerful life-preservation means, their offensive means are rather weak.” “At the very least, they can deal with weaker Regis Godfiends,” said Imperial Lord Starquix with a smile. “Among Regis Godfiends, King Thousand Wood, King Gu Eyes, and the others aren’t that strong in a head-on battle. Patriarch Poison Dragon and the others can also create miracles if they are used well. In terms of offensive means, we have three other trump cards—Peacock, Strings, and the Eighteen Black River Guard.”
“The Eighteen Black River Guard was obtained by Brother Roc when he went to Black River Realm for negotiations. We then selected 18 demon monarchs to refine the Black River Life Caskets so as to form the Eighteen Black River Guard,” said Imperial Lord Starquix. “These 18 demon monarchs can form a 400-kilometer-wide Black River Array. Godfiends will probably be corroded and reduced to dust instantly if they enter. These 18 demon monarchs will be located at the Black River Array’s core… If the human Godfiends want to attack with an Essence Soul mystic technique, they will be too far away. They won’t be able to reach them.”
