Archean Eon Art

I’ve succeeded.

Meng Chuan sat cross-legged in the chamber. With a thought, the Soul-Vanquishing Spike flew out from his consciousness. It was a weapon condensed from the Power of Essence Soul. It was invisible to the naked eye, and one’s body and Quintessential Essence were unable to block it.

Swoosh!

The Soul-Vanquishing Spike passed through the wall as though it didn’t exist and flew out of the chamber. It circled the courtyard twice before shooting out into the night sky. After flying the Soul-Vanquishing Spike for a while, it returned to his sea of consciousness.

I can perfectly control the Soul-Vanquishing Spike within 500 feet. It’s extremely fast and agile. Meng Chuan realized his current limitations in regards to controlling the Soul-Vanquishing Spike. Once it is over 500 feet from, my control over it will gradually weaken. My control over it within 1,000 feet is still okay. Once it’s more than 1,000 feet away, my control over it rapidly decreases. I’ll lose complete control of it after it is over 2,000 feet away from me.

His perception of the Soul-Vanquishing Spike had blurred when it was over 2,000 feet from him, so he immediately retrieved it. It’s sufficient to use it to deal with enemies within 1000 feet. Meng Chuan nodded slightly.

Following that, he began to experiment with other mystic techniques. With a third-level Essence Soul, the Soul-Vanquishing Spike was the most powerful mystic technique. It was the only technique that required a condensed Essence Soul weapon. However, the other mystic techniques had their own traits. For instance, Hallucination Soul Draw and the Soul Splintering Wave were useful techniques. He needed to master these techniques because it could prove useful in dire situations in the future.

…

Dawn, the next morning. In Meng Chuan’s study.

“Qiyue, do you need any treasures from the sect?” inquired Meng Chuan.

“Not for now.” Liu Qiyue shook her head.

Meng Chuan nodded and wrote a letter. Then, he rolled it up and placed it in a metal tube.

“Little Gray,” Meng Chuan shouted.

Swoosh.

A gray bird flew in from the window and landed on the desk. It was the third Firmament avian demon monarch that Meng Chuan and his wife had bought from the sect for 1.5 million credits.

“Send this letter to Archean Mountain. Archean Mountain will give you a gourd of pills. Bring it back for me,” instructed Meng Chuan.

“Yes, Master.” The gray bird spoke human language. It opened its mouth and put the metal tube into its mouth before flying away.

“You’re getting 390 Scarlet Blood Divine Pills?” Liu Qiyue asked in surprise. “Do you need that much?”

“I expend a lot of Quintessential Essence to cultivate my physical body technique. If I use the Heaven and Earth powers to replenish my Quintessential Essence, I’ll only finish cultivating this technique after ten years. During those ten years, I would have to cultivate for several hours a day. With the Scarlet Blood Divine Pills, two hours of body cultivation a day will allow me to master it within a year. Once I master this physical body technique, my body will be comparable to a Man-grade divine armament. Even my head will no longer be a vital spot. I can even regenerate severed limbs given time,” explained Meng Chuan with a smile.

“It’s that amazing?” Liu Qiyue was a little excited.

Meng Chuan nodded.

The body cultivation system’s Divine Power realm—the third realm—was naturally powerful. One gained several Marquis Godfiend characteristics. The only thing the Divine Power realm lacked was the Darkstar Domain. A Divine Power realm expert’s overall offensive strength might be weaker, but their physical body was stronger and more resilient than that of a Marquis Godfiend. Their bodies no longer possessed any vital points. One could be stabbed in the head, heart, and dantian and wouldn’t die. Instead, they could maintain 70 to 80 percent of their normal strength. After some time, they would recover from such injuries completely and return to peak physical state.

If one reached the Undying realm—the fourth realm—they could completely suppress Marquis Godfiends with just their physical bodies. With immense strength and a nigh-indestructible and undying body, the enemy could strike their previous vital points as many times as they wanted, but Undying experts would recover in the blink of an eye. Undying experts could regrow their severed limbs instantly. In aspects such as physical strength and vitality, Undying experts would reach an inconceivable, monstrous level.

Blood Droplet experts—the fifth realm—were incomparably tough to deal with. They were difficult to kill. Even if their bodies were to be smashed to smithereens and their blood completely scattered, they would instantly recover if even a single strand of hair or a drop of blood was left behind.

This body cultivation system was stronger than the Godfiend Quintessential Essence system. However, there were two major flaws. One flaw was that this body cultivation system required Cosmos Crystals. The second flaw was that it demanded much from one’s Essence Soul attainments.

For example, one required a fourth-level Essence Soul to cultivate the Undying realm. In reality, the numerous mystic techniques for fourth-level Essence Souls were terrifying when it came to Marquis Godfiends. This body cultivation system didn’t showcase its powerful advantages in the beginning, but its advantages gradually became apparent during the mid and late stages.

The further one went with this body cultivation system, the harder it was to kill them. Unfortunately, the limit for Meng Chuan was the Blood Droplet realm unless he could find Cosmos Crystals—which only existed in other worlds.

Of course, for Archean Mountain’s predecessors to obtain and hide this legacy at Archean Eon Grotto-Heaven meant that there had to be a tiny amount of Cosmos Crystals. Clearly, one could obtain Cosmos Crystals, but it was very difficult to find them. Archean Mountain had only obtained a tiny amount of Cosmos Crystals to date.

“Not only that, but I’ll also have a divine power after I master it,” said Meng Chuan. “Just like how demon monarchs can gain divine powers, this mystic technique can also give me divine powers.”

“Truly impressive. It’s no wonder the Supremacy looked for you before we left the mountain.” Liu Qiyue was also happy for her husband.

The same evening, the bird returned with a gourd of Scarlet Blood Divine Pills. Meng Chuan began his cultivation of the Divine Power realm.

This gourd of Scarlet Blood Divine Pills cost him 3.9 million credits! The Quiescence Frost baneful aura—something he needed for his cultivation—required 8 million credits. Meng Chuan felt that his contributions and credit were lacking.

…

The couple was deployed on another rescue mission.

Liu Qiyue spread her flaming wings and looked down from midair.

“Kill!” Meng Chuan’s Power of Essence Soul fused with his Great Solar Quintessential Essence. He had an inconceivable level of control over his Quintessential Essence. The vast majority of Marquis Godfiends were unable to control their Quintessential Essence so precisely. This made Meng Chuan’s movements more agile and his saber arts faster. In an instant, he could execute several saber attacks! His strength had reached a brand new level.

The control over one’s Quintessential Essence granted by fusing one’s third-level Power of Essence Soul was truly terrifying. The maximum strength he could unleash after fusing the third-level Power of Essence Soul with his body and Quintessential Essence was much greater than when he did it with the second-level Power of Essence Soul.

The saber beam sliced through the demon monarchs’ body like paper.

Before the five demon monarchs could escape 300 feet, they were sliced apart by Meng Chuan’s saber beam. Only then did Meng Chuan reveal his existence. He was still awed by his new levels of strength. The first time he used his third-level Essence Soul to control his Quintessential Essence during a battle made him feel like everything was under his control. He believed that he could fight Blackwater Palace Lord alone with his present strength.

If he were to fuse the Power of Essence Soul with his body and Quintessential Essence and cast forbidden Godfiend spells, he could easily kill Blackwater Palace Lord with his Essence Soul mystic techniques.

I’ve actually improved by so much. A third-level Essence Soul enhances all aspects of strength so greatly. Meng Chuan was delighted. Since his wife was pregnant in such an era, Meng Chuan wanted to be as strong as possible. Only by becoming stronger could he better protect his wife and children.

Swoosh!

The five demon monarchs collapsed, leaving the Godfiend team—that requested for help—shocked.

The demon monarch team that had suppressed them was easily wiped out by Meng Chuan. The five demon monarchs tried to flee in different directions but failed to move 300 feet before dying. Clearly, Meng Chuan had killed the five demon monarchs in the blink of an eye. None of the five demon monarchs managed to fend off a single attack. Such strength reminded this Godfiend team of a Marquis Godfiend.

“Senior Brother Meng must have reached the strength of a weak Marquis Godfiend.”

“How long has Senior Brother Meng been cultivating; yet, he’s already this strong? He’s probably not far from becoming a Marquis.”

“Senior Brother Meng is truly stunning.”

These fellow disciples were astounded by Meng Chuan’s display of strength. Liu Qiyue was even more delighted than them as she watched from above. Her radiant smile hung on her face as she lowered her head and stroked her abdomen gently.

When she was pregnant, she especially hoped for a sense of security. Now that Meng Chuan’s strength had reached a stunning level, Liu Qiyue felt even safer.
