Chapter 146: 146

In a quiet room in the manor, Meng Chuan sat cross-legged as he studied his body using the Power of Essence Soul with a mystic technique .

Even though his Essence Soul had reached the Kinesis stage, he had to use a mystic technique to see the microscopic world . He could see the countless particles that made up his muscles, tendons, and bones . These particles varied in size and color . However, all the tiny particles contained lightning within them due to Meng Chuan having a Lightning Devastator Fiend Body . Thus, it was extremely difficult to cultivate these tiny particles .

After six months of cultivation—relying on the Power of Essence Soul and his Saber Souk—he finally refined all the particles in his body . It had taken him an unimaginable amount of Quintessential Essence to accomplish this feat . Currently, he was about to make them synchronized .

His ever-depleting Quintessential Essence would be replenished through the consumption of Thousand Star Pills .

Boom!

His entire body, be it a strand of hair or a drop of blood, began transforming . Countless particles in his body began fusing together . Originally, the transformation of a single particle didn’t have much effect on his body, but with his Saber Soul aiding him, the particles affected his body greatly after attaining synchronization .

It was just like having an army of 10,000 people . If the army wasn’t disciplined, these 10,000 soldiers would have limited combat efficiency . If they executed orders without a margin of error, their combat efficiency would soar .

It was the same with the body! All the particles in his body were completely synchronized after cultivating them . His body had become one! According to the information he had received from the body cultivation legacy, this meant he had attained a Diamond Body! He had reached the Diamond realm!

It’s done . Meng Chuan opened his eyes . He felt like his body was completely transparent; his skin was emitting a golden jade glow . Upon careful inspection, one could see a thin membrane above his skin . He wasn’t doing anything, but this membrane surrounded his body . This membrane had been formed by the invisible force emitted by countless particles—which manifested after the particles became synchronized .

According to the legacy, one’s body will naturally emit the Diamond Force once the Diamond Body is attained . The Diamond Force provides some level of invulnerability . Meng Chuan unsheathed Demon Slayer and slashed at his arm . The attack was stopped by the Diamond Force . This piqued Meng Chuan’s curiosity . I want to see how powerful the Diamond Body and Diamond Force are .

Meng Chuan was speechless after an hour of experimentation .

Perhaps it was because of his perfected Lightning Devastator Fiend Body and his body cultivation; he could unleash power roughly 70% of his Great Solar Quintessential Essence-fueled strength when using only his Saber Soul .

He now had a terrifying defense . Just his skin alone could match the protection provided by the robes he had chosen at Archean Mountain . His defense would be much stronger if one included his tendons, muscles, and etc . If he and another person were to engage in a one-on-one battle—where both parties had equal strength—the other person would be doomed once their armor was damaged . In contrast, he would probably suffer a few minor wounds with his Diamond Body . It would be difficult to pierce through the muscles . He would recover from these minor wounds quickly .

The life-preservation means provided by the body cultivation system is truly terrifying . The fourth realm is known as the Undying realm . The body would no longer have any vital points . One would be completely fine even if their head or heart were to be stabbed . One would recover from such an injury within a blink of an eye . The Blood Droplet realm—the fifth realm—allows one to regenerate their body from a drop of blood . Meng Chuan couldn’t help but sigh in amazement .

However, the Quintessential Essence cultivation system also elevates our life-preservation means and destructive abilities once we reach the Darkstar and Incessant realms .

Two different paths laid before him .

The body cultivation system was mainly for melee combat . It provided one with terrifying lifeforce . As long as one was alive, they could maintain peak lifeforce, although their destructive capabilities were inferior to those that followed the Quintessential Essence cultivation system .

The Quintessential Essence cultivation system provided one insane destructive power! They had weaker life-preservation means, and their lifeforce would gradually drop as time passed .

My body is much stronger now . I can burst out with even more Quintessential Essence since my meridians are now much stronger as well . I’m currently twice as strong as when I cleared the Nine Mystical Caves .

Meng Chuan was very happy . Disregarding the usage of forbidden spells or his Essence Soul, he was two times stronger than when he had left the mountain . Such an increase in strength was extremely rare . If the body cultivation system weren’t limited to the Blood Droplet realm in the human world, it would’ve been considered one of the best opportunities inside Archean Eon Grotto-Heaven .

After his experimentation, Meng Chuan closed his eyes and refilled his expended Quintessential Essence pool .

Chi! Chi! Chi!

Meng Chuan absorbed wisps of lightning and baneful aura from the void . As his body grew stronger, he could absorb more lightning and baneful aura . The absorption of lightning and baneful aura mostly depended on the body . It didn’t have much to do with Quintessential Essence .

…

Half a month later .

27th June, night .

Yuan State’s Green Mountain Prefecture was over 150 kilometers from North River Pass .

Whoosh .

At this moment, outside Green Mountain Prefecture City, a black-robed figure silently crawled out from the ground . The figure’s head was wrapped in robes; one could barely see a pair of green eyes .

The figure stared at the distant Green Mountain Prefecture City . The city gates had already been shut for the night . Soldiers patrolled around the city walls, however, they were unable to see the black-robed figure a kilometer away .

The black-robed figure could clearly see two large words above the city gates: Green Mountain .

Green Mountain? This is the Great Zhou Dynasty’s Green Mountain Prefecture? After determining their current position, the figure burrowed into the ground silently and transformed into a pangolin . He moved underground at extremely fast speeds . Moments later, he arrived at the depths of a barren mountain roughly three kilometers away from the prefecture . The Yuan State was a mountainous region; thus, many forts were built in the mountains . Only a few large cities could be found on the rare flatlands in the mountainous region .

A distorted World Entrance—about 1000 feet long—laid inside the barren mountain . Two figures stood by the World Entrance .

Swoosh .

The pangolin crawled out from underground and transformed into a black-robed figure . The figure walked into the World Entrance and entered the Demon Realm .

Pangoswim has returned . The two demon monarchs beside the World Entrance smiled .

“Watch the area carefully . Kill any humans that approach immediately . Before our invasion, we mustn’t reveal this World Entrance’s existence . If it’s exposed, His Majesty won’t spare us . ”

“Don’t worry . Few humans come to the mountain at night . Nothing will happen . ”

…

After the black-robed figure entered the Demon Realm, he saw a demon army gathering . He also saw many demon monarchs and a greater demon monarch sitting on a throne . The greater demon monarch had a humanoid body and a snake tail .

“Your Majesty . ” The black-robed figure stepped forward and knelt respectfully .

“Have you investigated the unstable World Entrance? Which part of the human world is it connected to?” asked the demon monarch indifferently .

“Green Mountain Prefecture of the Great Zhou Dynasty’s Yuan State,” said the black-robed figure . “From the World Entrance, we are roughly three kilometers away from Green Mountain Prefecture City . ”

“Very good . ” The demon monarch smiled before he waved his black palm .

The black-robed figure stood obediently among the other demon monarchs .

…

Two hours passed .

A huge bird flew over from afar; on its back stood a three-headed demon monarch .

After the bird landed, the three-headed demon monarch came in front of the greater demon monarch . He bowed respectfully . “Greetings Greater Demon Monarch Avaricehell . I’m Jumo . ”

“I believe you have been briefed, am I right?” Greater Demon Monarch Avaricehell sat on his throne, his black fingers resting on the armrest as he looked down at the three-headed demon monarch .

“Yes, I am willing to enter the human world,” said Jumo respectfully .

“My fief doesn’t have a demon monarch that can enter the third Firmament immediately . That’s why I borrowed you from Greater Demon Monarch Thousand Poisons,” said Avaricehell . “This World Entrance won’t exist for long, so we have to attack as soon as possible . Three kilometers from the World Entrance is Green Mountain Prefecture of the Great Zhou Dynasty . I will arrange for five second Firmament demon monarchs and 30,000 demons to join you in this attack . ”

“Yes,” said the three-headed demon monarch respectfully . “Once the attack succeeds, I will infiltrate the human world . I’m not in a hurry to return . ”

“Very good . ” Avaricehell nodded . “It’s the middle of the night in the human world . The mortals are sleeping soundly . It’s the best time to attack . Head out immediately . ”

“Yes . ”

“Yes . ”

The army—comprising the three-headed demon monarch, five second Firmament demon monarchs, and 30,000 mortal demons—was much stronger than the army that had attacked Eastcalm Prefecture .

Soon, the demon army swarmed the World Entrance like a flood . They didn’t hesitate to follow the directions provided by Pangoswim and charged towards Green Mountain Prefecture City .
