Archean Eon Art

Under the dark-red sky, five figures leaped out from an opening and landed on the ground.

I’m here again. Meng Chuan looked at the gold, silver, and all sorts of colorful gems on the ground. Back then, he had been a Marquis Godfiend. Although nine years had passed since his first entry, the World Gap was still slowly expanding. This formation process would take decades, even centuries. It was still in its nascent stages.

“Let’s split up here,” said King True Martial. “Everyone, be careful.”

“Yes.” Peng Mu, Yun Jianhai, Meng Chuan, and Wang Shan nodded solemnly.

Everyone was armed to the teeth. It was one thing for them to cultivate mystic techniques, but King True Martial had obtained a Tribulation treasure. Peng Mu and Yun Jianhai had also been given Imperial Lord-level weapons. There was no need to mention Meng Chuan and Wang Shan.

Their goal here was to kill as many demon monarchs as they could.

Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!

The five of them split into three teams and moved quickly.

“Junior Brother Meng, my body is rather special,” said Wang Shan. “The body of a Dao Protector is used by generations of Dao Protectors through possession. It can resist the world’s limitations on lifespan, greatly extending the lifespan of us Regis Godfiends. However, it has a huge flaw. This body is too burdensome to one’s Essence Soul. The pressure on my Essence Soul is too great. I can only stay lucid for a period of time.

“My Essence Soul is at the sixth-level. I can possess a Dao Protector’s body. At most, I can stay awake for 120 years. Other times, I have to meditate or be in deep sleep. I’ve been awake for a few decades since I became a Dao Protector. I can still stay awake for over 70

years.”

Wang Shan looked at Meng Chuan. “You have a small grotto-heaven, right? If you let me stay in a small grotto-heaven normally, I’ll meditate in there. When you travel through the World Gap, only awaken me when you encounter enemies.”

Meng Chuan nodded. “Understood.”

A Dao Protector’s time was very precious!

Their mission in the World Gap would last decades. If the Dao Protector stayed awake the entire time, the expenditure on his remaining time would be too great.

“Senior Brother Wang, don’t resist. I’ll put you into a small grotto-heaven first,” said Meng Chuan.

Wang Shan nodded.

Swoosh.

Meng Chuan waved his hand and stored Wang Shan into his small grotto-heaven.

Inside the small Grotto-Heaven, Wang Shan sat cross-legged on the ground. He smiled and closed his eyes. The body of a Dao Protector is indeed extraordinary. It can greatly extend a Regis Godfiend’s lifespan when they near the end of it. Meng Chuan sighed. However, it is a greatly flawed method. At the very least, one needs to have a fifth-level Essence Soul before they can possess the body. Furthermore, they can only stay lucid for a short period of time. However, it’s impressive that they can break through the world’s limits on one’s lifespan.

Swoosh.

Meng Chuan flew alone in the World Gap. He wore a mask and used his Seamless domain to isolate light. He carefully hid from sight.

The demons can also isolate light in the World Gap. They can’t be seen with the naked eye alone. Should I use a domain to probe? No, when the domain detects an enemy, the enemy will also discover me.

All fifth Firmament demon monarchs had acute senses. They also had domains that aided them in scanning their surroundings. I’ll take my time searching for them. Meng Chuan flew around the World Gap as he searched for fifth Firmament demon monarchs.

Most fifth Firmament demon monarchs in the Demon Realm had come to the World Gap. It was a rare cultivation opportunity. However, there were only a few hundred of them. After forming teams, they had split into dozens of teams.

The vast World Gap made it impossible for one to see everything with the naked eye. To search for dozens of teams?

It was quite difficult.

Fortunately, he had reconnaissance techniques. Fifth Firmament demon monarchs mostly come to the World Gap to cultivate. Very few of them are here to snatch treasures. Those weaker fifth Firmament demon monarchs have the self-awareness to not involve themselves in the treasure snatching.

As for those that are cultivating, they’re definitely watching the birth of the world. I just need to search for the phenomena produced by the birthing world. By doing this, I’ll have a chance of finding demon monarchs. Meng Chuan flew around the World Gap as he thought up a plan. However, I have to be careful. These phenomena are typically close to the outer realm. If I’m careless and I end up charging out of the World Gap, I’ll probably lose my life once I fall into the outer realm.

He flew around as he searched for demon monarchs.

He finally arrived at the spot where the world had shattered. There was no way forward.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

One side was the normal World Gap, while endless darkness was on the other.

At the intersection, purple lightning struck. Boundless purple lightning converged into a huge tree. Meng Chuan was still shocked by this scene. The huge, purple lightning tree split apart the black-white air currents, stirring up dark energy. The world membrane slowly expanded as the splitting of the heavens and earth continued.

The last time he came here, he was still a Marquis Godfiend. Now that Meng Chuan had reached the Dharma Domain realm, and had also studied the Bloodblade Disc and Star Cluster Building’s ultimate techniques, he gained new insights after seeing the purple lightning once again.

When I’m free, I’ll definitely paint the purple lightning again. After thinking that, he flew dozens of kilometers away from the fractured world.

He flew for an hour.

He saw a colorful bubble appear where the world had shattered. Purple lightning struck down furiously.

The colorful bubble spanned about five kilometers as it encompassed the horizons.

According to the intelligence provided by King True Martial and company, this colorful bubble is extremely dangerous. Once it explodes, everything within 50 kilometers will be destroyed. Even the world in this area will be destroyed. Godfiends and demon monarchs will definitely die. Meng Chuan looked at the bubble and felt a sense of danger. He immediately stayed 100 kilometers away from the colorful bubble. There were two sources of danger in the World Gap—the demon monarchs and the World Gap itself.

Many dangers appeared during the birth of a World Gap. This was also the reason why Meng Chuan and company had decided to cultivate in a certain place. They couldn’t go anywhere randomly! If they accidentally entered a dangerous place, they might lose their lives.

Since they were careful and cautious, they would rather hide far away when facing an unknown danger.

Half a day after Meng Chuan arrived in the World Gap He carefully scanned the area with his electromagnetic domain.

Huh? Meng Chuan looked at a distant area.

In the region, a demon monarch’s head appeared. It stared at the masked Meng Chuan with a threatening and warning look in its eyes.

Humans and demons were mortal enemies! However, in the World Gap, the goal of both parties was to cultivate and seize treasures. Therefore, they would only engage in battle when treasures were born or sighted. Typically, very few battles would occur. Otherwise, it would be very difficult for both parties to cultivate in peace if a battle ensued whenever they met.

This was a form of tacit understanding.

If one accidentally encountered the other party, if one didn’t wish to fight, they would immediately retreat and stay sufficiently far away from the other party. However, it was different this time. Humanity’s goal was no longer to cultivate or seize treasures. Instead, their goal was to kill demon monarchs-all fifth Firmament demon monarchs!

There’s a demon monarch team ahead. They’re studying the birth of the world there. Meng Chuan was delighted by the discovery.

The black demon head stared at Meng Chuan as an invisible domain swept across Meng Chuan. He was clearly waiting for Meng Chuan to retreat. At the same time, he sent a voice transmission to his two companions. “I’ve discovered a Godfiend. There might be other Godfiends hiding in the shadows.”“Do you know who the human Godfiend is?”

“He’s wearing a mask. I don’t know him,” said the black demon head via voice transmission. “There’s no need to awaken the other demon monarchs for now. It won’t be too late to awaken them if he doesn’t retreat.”

The three of them had to be on guard while cultivating. The other demon monarchs focused on their cultivation.

That’s not right. The black demon head’s eyes began to blur. His Essence Soul suffered a blow, causing it to be dazed. He found it difficult to stay lucid.

Essence Soul Star-Astral Wave.

The Astral Wave had a huge impact on a fifth-level Essence Soul. The fifth Firmament demon monarch-who only had a fourth-level Essence Soul-instantly fell into a daze. His mind became slow, finding it difficult to process information. His slow mind finally reacted. Essence Soul mystic technique?

Pfft.

A Bloodblade pierced through his head.
