“Let me try projecting my domain.” With a thought, Meng Chuan’s surrounding five kilometers descended into darkness. The domain had made everything within it turn completely dark.
The darkness devoured everything.
Surrounded by the darkness, Li Guan, Qin Wu, and Luo Tang didn’t feel any harm, but they were inexplicably afraid.
“I can no longer sense the worldly laws,” said Li Guan solemnly.
“Yes, I can’t sense Archean Eon Realm’s laws.” Qin Wu and Luo Tang found it unbelievable. However, Meng Chuan felt something. His Darkness domain was an upgraded version of the Seamless domain; it had increased the repulsive force acting on the outside world. Even the worldly laws were forcefully repelled by the domain! “An Imperial Lord’s Heaven Earth domain can isolate the worldly laws.” Luo Tang looked at Meng Chuan in disbelief. “Your domain can actually isolate the worldly laws?”
“I also feel that your domain’s strength weakens the further I am from you. As I get closer to you, your domain gets stronger?” Li Guan carefully sensed the force acting on him. “That’s why I said that it’s an upgrade of the Seamless domain. The closer you are to me, the stronger the repulsion.” Meng Chuan nodded. “It also has a stronger suppression now. However, it’s not just my domain that has changed. My body has also changed tremendously.” Meng Chuan carefully probed his body’s changes. “It feels like every basic particle has undergone a qualitative change. It seems like
Hu! Hu! Hu!
Numerous particles flew out from Meng Chuan’s body and came to his side. They then condensed into another Meng Chuan. At the same time, an Essence Soul avatar occupied the other Meng Chuan’s sea of consciousness.
“A Corporeal Avatar?” Li Guan, Qin Wu, and Luo Tang found it unbelievable.
This was a common technique for Imperial Lords. A cultivator of the Cosmos Body cultivation system would also have this ability when they reached the Sage Becoming realm.
“Yes, a Corporeal Avatar.” Meng Chuan nodded. “My body has greatly improved after reaching this new realm. It’s much stronger than when I was at the Blood Droplet realm. I can naturally condense a Corporeal Avatar now.”
“A Corporeal Avatar with an Essence Soul avatar is a complete lifeform.” Li Guan looked at Meng Chuan excitedly. “An Imperial Lord is most confident in roaming the outer realm when they have a Corporeal Avatar. With your own Corporeal Avatar, you can try roaming the outer realm now.”
“Roam the outer realm?” Meng Chuan was slightly taken aback. The most important thing he needed to do now was to figure out his situation. He hadn’t really set his sights on roaming the outer realm.
Chapter 489 - Decision
Qin Wu looked at Meng Chuan and said solemnly, “Every Creation Supremacy and Imperial Lord has the goal of cultivating in the outer realm. The outer realm is the cultivation ground for Supremacies and Imperial Lords.”
“Meng Chuan,” said Luo Tang. “I believe you can sense that although Archean Eon Realm’s worldly laws, they are only at the Imperial Lord-level. Your current domain… can withstand the worldly laws now.”
Meng Chuan nodded slightly.
In the River of Spacetime, Archean Eon Realm was just a drop in the ocean.
“In Archean Eon Realm, no matter how much you study, you will only be able to comprehend Imperial Lord-level worldly laws. How far can your cultivation go in such a place?” said Luo Tang. “In the outer realm, even if it’s a barren land, you will be able to perceive vaster and more profound spatial-temporal laws.”
Li Guan added, “In the past few decades, you’ve improved greatly. The World Gap is one factor in your speedy improvement. Now we have to answer one question. Why is the World Gap a sacred land for cultivation? It’s because you can observe a forming world there. The purple lightning that tears through the outer realm’s darkness contains laws that go far beyond the Imperial Lord-level. The laws within the purple lightning point towards the vast River of Spacetime’s most profound mysteries. Thus, you will naturally gain a lot from observing the purple lightning.”
Meng Chuan agreed. His Fifteen Lightning Forms far exceeded the Imperial Lord-level. Even Meng Chuan could vaguely sense that Three World Saber and Lightning Realm-two Tribulation-level ultimate techniques-were far inferior to the purple lightning. Deducing a lightning lineage cultivation path after observing the purple lightning was one of the reasons why he could create his paramount technique.
“As the saying goes, reading thousands of books is not as useful as traveling a thousand miles. To Creation Supremacies and Imperial Lords, roaming the outer realm is equivalent to traveling 1,000 miles,” said Qin Wu with a smile. “You will forever see the same scenery
– Imperial-level worldly laws—if you say in your homeworld. In the outer realm, you will see all sorts of beautiful scenes. They are ten times, if not 100 times more beautiful than purple lightning. You can see them all.”
Qin Wu smiled and continued, “To be honest, as your master, I’m very envious of you. With a Corporeal Avatar, you can roam the outer realm freely.”
From the side, Li Guan said, “Meng Chuan, you can grow faster and stronger in the outer realm.”
Meng Chuan also understood this. One’s external environment was very important for cultivation. The World Gap had contributed greatly to his current growth. The outer realm was much vaster than the World Gap. Countless experts roamed the outer realm. Although Ancestral Master Archean Eon’s name had awed countless worlds, there were still Tribulation Eminences that surpassed him. One such person was Eminence Fei Yu.
“Before the war with the demons, generations of Godfiends would often head to the outer realm after reaching the Creation realm,” said Li Guan with a sigh. “They also become more and more powerful in the outer realm.”
“Generations of Godfiend seniors…” Qin Wu shook his head gently. “In this era, once we enter the outer realm, we will be easily caught by the three demon Imperial Lords. The three demon Imperial Lords will definitely not allow human Godfiends to become stronger by cultivating in the outer realm. However, you are different. You have a Corporeal Avatar.”
“My Corporeal Avatar will also be pursued, right?” Meng Chuan asked curiously. “According to the intelligence, the three demon Imperial Lords, especially Emperor Roc, are considered very powerful among the outer realm’s Imperial Lords.”
“Haha, Archean Mountain has some secrets that can only be known after reaching the Creation realm. Some secrets are only for Imperial Lords’ ears,” said Li Guan. “Our Archean Mountain has a treasure-Exile Prison
—that can only be used only in the outer realm. Once this treasure is used, it can trap a target. After that, the treasure can tear through spacetime and send the target to a certain faraway spot in the distant spacetime.”
“Send to a certain faraway spot in distant spacetime?” Meng Chuan was puzzled. “How far?”
“Very, very far away,” said Qin Wu. “Once the treasure is used, the target will be exiled to an infinitely far place. Even an Imperial Lord has no chance of returning from such a distant spacetime his entire life.”
Li Guan smiled and said, “Once your Corporeal Avatar enters the outer realm, you can immediately use the Exile Prison on yourself! Your Corporeal Avatar will be sent to a faraway land. This way, the three demon Imperial Lords will not be able to pursue you. Although it will be very difficult for your Corporeal Avatar to return before it reaches the Tribulation realm, your Corporeal Avatar’s cultivation realm will increase as much as your original body in your homeworld.”
“Your true body will be left behind in Archean Eon realm. It will cultivate in Heaven and Earth Great Hall as per the rules,” said Luo Tang. “Even if an enemy kills your Corporeal Avatar and tries to kill your true body through a karmic mystic technique, the attack’s might will be greatly reduced after traveling across the distant spacetime. Our homeworld’s obstruction will also reduce the attack’s strength once again. After that, the Heaven and Earth Grea
t Hall’s obstruction will reduce the attack’s strength once more… After being weakened repeatedly, I’m afraid only 1-2% of the attack’s strength will be left.”
“If an enemy isn’t skilled at the karma lineage, the attack won’t even have 1-2% of its power left,” said Li Guan with a smile. “Of course, ordinary worlds do not have treasures like the Heaven and Earth Great Hall. Ancestral Master Archean Eon painstakingly refined the Heaven and Earth Great Hall. It was one of Archean Eon Sect’s top treasures.”
Meng Chuan nodded slightly. He had learned from many dossiers that it would be extremely difficult for outer realm experts to kill him if his true body remained in his homeworld.
Generally speaking, true death would only occur when there was a huge disparity in strength between the two parties. For example, if an Imperial Lord angered an Essence Soul Seventh Tribulation Eminence, the latter could kill all of the former’s avatars remotely, even if they were across worlds. “Meng Chuan, you have created a paramount technique. Your Essence Soul is also strong enough to roam the outer realm. You will also be protected by the Heaven and Earth Great Hall created by Ancestral Master Archean Eon,” said Qin Wu, “You are very suitable for adventuring the outer realm! In the past, our Archean Eon Realm’s Godfiend ancestors went out to roam the outer realm. It was only when they roamed the outer realm that our world gave birth to powerful Imperial Lords and Tribulation Eminences.”
“I understand.” Meng Chuan nodded. “I planned on roaming the outer realm in the future, but I never expected to have a Corporeal Avatar. In that case… I’ll set off soon.”
Be it for the war or his wife-Liu Qiyue-Meng Chuan was forced to become stronger as soon as possible. Going to the outer realm was the best way to raise his strength quickly.
“Alright.” Qin Wu, Li Guan, and Luo Tang were filled with anticipation. “You have reached the Creation realm, so you can read the secrets that only our sect’s Supremacies can come into contact with,” said Li Guan. “You must also read all intelligence dossiers regarding the outer realm.”
Meng Chuan nodded slightly. “Understood. I’ll prepare myself before setting off.” He also had to understand his current situation fully. He still had too many questions about this unknown realm he had reached.
Meng Chuan began to familiarize himself with the secrets that only Supremacies could come into contact with.
“This is?” Meng Chuan stood in a chamber. Inside the chamber was a massive phantom river.
“This river is the Spacetime Dominion Map.” Qin Wu pointed at the surging river’s phantom. “It was made by Ancestral Master Archean Eon after paying a huge price. It can be said to be a massive Spacetime Dominion Map. Even Ancestral Master Archean Eon can’t travel every inch of the River of Spacetime.”
“These are?” Meng Chuan looked at the dossiers in front of him.
“Information on the many civilizations and worlds. They are useless in our homeworld,” said Qin Wu. “This information will be of great use in the outer realm at critical moments.”
Boom!
A treasure vault opened.
Meng Chuan stared at the treasure vault curiously. He knew about the treasure vault, but he had never entered it.
“Every Supremacy that heads to the outer realm has the right to come here and choose treasures,” said Qin Wu as he pointed at the vault’s contents. “One naturally needs some defensive treasures when roaming the dangerous outer realm. Although many treasures have been lost over time, we still have about ten to twenty percent of the treasures left. Furthermore, the other Sect Proprietors have agreed that you can choose any ten.”
For the next few months, Meng Chuan prepared himself for his journey in the outer realm. He also gradually familiarized himself with the abilities he gained after reaching his new realm.
Chapter 490 - Set Off, Outer Realm! (Final Chapter of Volume)
Meng Chuan sat cross-legged in the square outside of the Heaven and Earth Great Hall. After several months, Meng Chuan had gained a deep understanding of his strength.
My current realm is the sixth realm that comes after the Godfiend cultivation system’s first five realms—Core Cloud realm, Indestructible realm, Great Solar realm, Darkstar realm, and Seamless realm. According to the various characteristics of this realm, I should call it the Chaos Hole realm.
For ordinary Godfiends, the Creation realm was after the Seamless realm. However, Meng Chuan had stepped into the Chaos Hole realm —which was above the Seamless realminstead of the Creation realm.
I have a 5,000-year lifespan at the Chaos Hole realm. My physical body isn’t inferior to a Sage Becoming realm expert of the Cosmos Body cultivation system. The Quintessential Essence condensed by the chaos hole is stronger than my physical body. The bad thing about reaching the Chaos Hole realm is that I have no experience to draw from. None of the seniors have ever reached this realm. I need to figure everything out by myself. However, at my current realm, my Corporeal Avatar can instantly merge with my true body, even if I fail to figure it out.
The higher one’s cultivation realm was, the stronger their lifeforce would be. When creating a new cultivation system or exploring an unknown cultivation realm, there was a higher chance of error. Even if he made a mistake during his experimentation, causing his dantian and body to explode and shatter, he could instantly regenerate with just a thought.
This was why the human world’s experts could create various Godfiend bodies. Transcendent-grade Godfiend bodies, high-grade Godfiend bodies… All sorts of Godfiend bodies had been created. This had something to do with the top experts’ fault-tolerance rates.
In humanity’s history, only a limited few had reached the Heaven Earth realm. Many of humanity’s experts created new Godfiend bodies based on whatever Godfiends bodies existed at the time. Godfiend bodies that were perfect and could be used universally were transcendent-grade. Those that were suitable for the creators but couldn’t be universally used would be reduced to high-grade or middle-grade Godfiend bodies.
For example, Ancestral Master Archean Eon cultivated other Godfiend bodies when he was still weak. He created the Samsara Divine Body when he had reached a high cultivation realm! He had also converted his original Godfiend body into the Samsara Divine Body.
There was a limit to Godfiend body conversion.
For example, Meng Chuan cultivated the Lightning Devastator Fiend Body. His main cultivation path was the lightning lineage! Even when he converted his Godfiend body in the future, he would use the lightning lineage as his core.
My current body is quite different from the Lightning Devastator Fiend Body and the Cosmos Body cultivation system’s Sage Becoming realm, thought Meng Chuan to himself. His body now had a black hole as its core. Every particle space was a miniature black hole. This made his body extremely powerful and magical. Even without using Cosmos Crystals, his body was in no way inferior to a Sage Becoming realm body.
In the future, I will need to create a Godfiend body that is most suitable for me if I want to progress further in the physical body lineage.
Whoosh.
Meng Chuan stood up. It’s time to return. Meng Chuan entered Heaven and Earth Great Hall and left the grotto-heaven.
He exited from the grotto-heaven and landed in Archean Mountain’s Grotto-Heaven Pavilion.
Li Guan, Qin Wu, and Luo Tang appeared. “Meng Chuan.”
“Has your seclusion ended?” asked Qin Wu.
“Yes.” Meng Chuan nodded and smiled. “I’ll make a trip back first. I’ll set off for the outer realm in three days.”
Li Guan, Qin Wu, and Luo Tang were shocked.
Finally…
After 800 years, humanity finally had a Godfiend setting off for the outer realm.
“Are you sure you’ve prepared everything?” asked Qin Wu. “Besides, are you really only bringing one treasure to the outer realm?”
“The Bloodblade Disc will suffice,” said Meng Chuan with a smile.
According to Archean Mountain (
Archean Eon Sect)’s rules, Creation Supremacies were forbidden from carrying Tribulation treasures into the outer realm under normal circumstances. Only an Imperial Lord was allowed to carry Tribulation treasures into the outer realm.
Of course, exceptions could be made for special situations. For example, suppose a Creation Supremacy obtained a Tribulation treasure from the outer realm by themselves. In that case, they could give it to the sect and exchange it for another Tribulation treasure that was suitable for them. After that, they would be allowed to bring that specific Tribulation treasure into the outer realm.
Another example would be when all the Sect Proprietors agreed to let a Creation Supremacy bring a Tribulation treasure to the outer realm with them.
As for Meng Chuan?
Meng Chuan had obtained the Eon Sea Sect’s treasures and gave them to Archean Mountain. Other than the three cornerstone treasures, he had also brought back five Tribulation treasures and many other treasures. After killing many demons, Meng Chuan and his wife had also given a large amount of war spoils to the sect, including a Tribulation treasure. Meng Chuan had also created a paramount technique by himself. With his talent, during any era, the sect would’ve allowed him to bring a Tribulation treasure into the outer realm. Furthermore, Meng Chuan’s role in the war was of utmost importance. Regardless what reason was provided, Meng Chuan could bring one Tribulation treasure into the outer realm with him! Li Guan and Qin Wu even hoped that Meng Chuan would bring one or two more.
“Alright, you know yourself best,” said Li Guan.
Meng Chuan nodded and vanished.
Above Jiang State Capital.
Meng Chuan appeared.
After reaching the Chaos Hole realm, I gained the Chaos Hole domain. My Chaos Hole domain can isolate the worldly laws. There’s no need to break free of the worldly laws’ suppression when I fly. Meng Chuan’s domain could isolate the worldly laws from him, allowing him to fly as he wished. Without using the Bloodblade Disc, I can now travel 2,500 kilometers per second. Previously, I could only travel 600 kilometers per second.
