Chapter 179: Peak Saber Soul

Meng Chuan could have easily caught up to Blackwater Palace Lord even while carrying Yang Fang, so why was he attacking again and again?

Almost . Just a little more . At this moment, Meng Chuan had an intense impulse . The core to his Saber Soul was demon-slaying! Upon seeing hope of killing a fourth Firmament Skydemon, Meng Chuan was extremely excited .

Killing a fourth Firmament Skydemon? This pushed Meng Chuan’s fighting spirit to the limits . His will made him strike out with his saber, causing his technique realm to rise .

Saber Soul was an amalgamation of two factors: saber techniques and one’s will . Willpower was the Saber Soul’s core, and it commandeered the saber technique . Condensed into one, they became the Saber Soul .

A strong will could naturally strengthen his saber art .

Slay! Slay! Slay! Even if it’s a fourth Firmament Skydemon, he won’t be spared as well! Meng Chuan once again struck out with his saber . He continued using the Heart Saber Stance . He delivered multiple strikes, each strike slightly improving as his saber art transformed .

His saber art became more direct! More straightforward!

His killing intent intensified!

Slay! Meng Chuan looked at Blackwater Palace Lord—who had a bloody wound cleaved open by Yang Fang’s axes . He took the opportunity to retreat before striking again .

When he delivered the seventeenth strike, Meng Chuan entered a state of enlightenment .

Boom! When the saber beam formed, it was even more condensed than his previous ones . His killing intent turned even colder .

Peak Saber Soul!

Two years after Meng Chuan left Archean Mountain—with a Black Metal Sutra’s intent guidance—he finally achieved a peak Saber Soul while encircling a fourth Firmament Skydemon .

This was considered a very high technique realm among Great Solar Godfiends . After all, any higher and it would be the Saber Dao realm . Meng Chuan had long condensed an Essence Soul . Once he achieved Saber Dao, he would become a Marquis Godfiend .

Lightning runes appeared on Meng Chuan’s back .

As a Lightning Devastator Fiend Body expert, lightning was a core power . He had imprinted Lightning Runes on his body . When lightning passed through the Lightning Runes, its strength would increase exponentially . For example, the first Lightning Rune could increase the power of lightning by three-fold . The second Lightning Rune could increase the power of lightning by ten-fold . The more lightning runes one had, the more powerful the lightning became .

Lightning Runes were split into five levels . Under normal circumstances, the first four levels corresponded with the Great Solar realm, Darkstar realm, Incessant realm, and Creation realm . The fifth level was regarded as theoretical, but Supremacy Thundergod—who created the Lightning Devastator Fiend Body formula—had reached the fifth level .

Second-level Lightning Runes required one to be at the Realm of Dao and have a first-level Essence Soul . Only then could the Lightning Runes be imprinted on one’s body .

When Meng Chuan’s Essence Soul reached the Kinesis stage, he had attempted to imprint second-level Lightning Runes . Back then, he had only attained Greater Mastery of Saber Soul, so he failed .

Whoosh .

As he had made an attempt in the past, Meng Chuan instinctively felt that he should be able to imprint second-level Lightning Runes on his body after attaining a perfected Saber Soul . His Saber Soul and the Power of the Essence Soul controlled the Quintessential Essence carefully . Within each acupoint in his body, he imprinted a complicated second-level Lightning Rune .

The Lightning Runes on his back—visible to the naked eye—became more complex and mysterious . It was if they were split into many layers . In reality, it was the runes inside his body .

It’s done . Meng Chuan was delighted .

Lightning Runes were a type of Godfiend rune . Quite a few Archean Mountain Godfiends studied Godfiend runes . For example, many Godfiend bodies—like the Phoenix Divine Body—could form divine runes as they cultivated . Generations of Godfiends studied this phenomenon and acquired much knowledge . The Lightning Runes were created by Supremacy Thundergod; they weren’t formed naturally .

It took a very long time to describe, but in seconds, a second-level Lightning Rune appeared on his back .

…

This Meng Chuan has been blocking me the entire time . Blackwater Palace Lord’s tail had been severed, and he had hideous wounds on his chest and shoulder . However, the wounds had stopped bleeding .

He shook off Yang Fang again and continued fleeing in the same direction!

Senior Brother Yang and Senior Brother Zhang are too old . They have been using forbidden Godfiend spells all this while, and it’s too heavy a burden on their bodies . Meng Chuan could tell that Yang Fang was in better shape since he was still a few decades away from his maximum lifespan . As for Zhang Yunfeng, he was too old . When using the forbidden Godfiend spell, his blood boiled, and his skin turned red . It worried Meng Chuan .

Previously, he wasn’t strong enough . Now that he had reached the peak of Saber Soul, the strength of his moves had been enhanced . After imprinting a second-level Lightning Rune, his movement speed increased once more .

This boosted Meng Chuan’s confidence .

“Senior Brother Zhang, Senior Brother Yang, I have a mystic technique that increases my strength for 30 moves! I can cooperate with Senior Brother Yang to attack this Skydemon,” said Meng Chuan via voice transmission . “We must kill him within 30 moves . ”

“Junior Brother Meng, don’t take the risk . ” Yang Fang immediately sent a voice transmission anxiously . “We can risk our lives, but you are still young . Your strength is still a little weak . You can’t fight him head-on . ”

“Let’s join forces . ” Meng Chuan attacked . First, dozens of saber beams struck Blackwater Palace Lord, slowing him down . Senior Brother Yang Fang also rushed over . He tried to stop Meng Chuan with a look . “Junior Brother Meng, retreat . ”

“Attack . ” Meng Chuan did not retreat .

With Senior Brother Yang Fang’s help, there was indeed hope for him to kill Blackwater Palace Lord . However, it was only a chance . It was also possible that he would fail . Even if they were to kill Blackwater Palace Lord through attrition, it would probably take a very long time . He had no idea how many mortals Blackwater Palace Lord would end up killing before dying .

It was even possible that Zhang Yunfeng’s body wouldn’t be able to last until Blackwater Palace Lord died .

Now that he was powerful enough, he naturally had to take action .

Boom!

Meng Chuan’s aura expanded rapidly as he used a forbidden Godfiend spell . At the same time, he fused his Great Solar Quintessential Essence with the Power of Essence Soul .

Swallow Dragon Roar Stance!

Meng Chuan attacked .

Meng Chuan is fighting me in close combat? When he saw the lightning figure approach him, Blackwater Palace Lord was delighted instead of being alarmed . Only by killing Meng Chuan would he be able to escape this predicament .

However, he was astonished to discover eight figures appearing around him . They were extremely fast and terrifying . Swirling saber beams flew towards Blackwater Palace Lord .

Why is he faster than before? Blackwater Palace Lord panicked .

Thanks to Zhang Yunfeng’s forbidden spell, Blackwater Palace Lord was slower than usual in the domain . As for Meng Chuan? He only fused the Power of the Essence Soul with his Quintessential Essence . This was a relatively low expenditure, allowing him to attack 30 times with such strength . However, each strike’s strength was no less than the maximum he could unleash previously . His attacks were more exquisite now . Second-level Lightning Runes caused the lightning around his body to flash, increasing his speed even more .

Without fusing the Power of Essence Soul or a forbidden spell, he could traverse about two kilometers in a single flash compared to his previous 1 . 5 kilometers per flash . His movement technique had also become more agile and faster . With this, Blackwater Palace Lord was unable to touch him .

Soon, Meng Chuan’s saber appeared in front of him . The strike caused the void to distort, reducing the 100 feet distance to just a stone’s throw .

Clang! Clang! Clang! Blackwater Palace Lord immediately brandished his Water Splitters to block the attack .

“Die . ” Yang Fang’s even more terrifying axe arrived!

Blackwater Palace Lord instinctively blocked Yang Fang’s axe . Meng Chuan’s saber could injure him, but Yang Fang’s axe could kill him!

When he managed to block the axe with great difficulty, a saber beam had already penetrated his abdomen . He had let it hit him there on purpose! This was because if he had been stabbed in the head or heart, it would be even more troublesome .

Pfft . Dragon Roar Stance’s penetrative power was astonishing! The might of Meng Chuan’s strike was weak, but Blackwater Palace Lord only had 30% of his normal strength . Should he block or should he rely on his body to withstand the strike? Especially when it was a penetrative attack?

The saber beam pierced through Blackwater Palace Lord’s abdomen, causing a bloody hole to form . However, Blackwater Palace Lord manipulated his flesh and forcefully closed his wound, though this caused his face to turn paler .

He would rather withstand the saber beam than be struck by Yang Fang’s axe .

“Well done!” Yang Fang was overjoyed when he saw this .

“Surround him and kill him!” Zhang Yunfeng was extremely excited despite struggling to maintain his forbidden spell .

“Attack . ” Meng Chuan didn’t stop .

When he joined forces with Yang Fang, Yang Fang attacked head-on while Meng Chuan used his terrifying speed to attack Blackwater Palace Lord . When his attacks moved at a certain speed, it was virtually impossible to block them .

If the domain wasn’t suppressing Blackwater Palace Lord, he would’ve counterattacked . However, Blackwater Palace Lord was indeed completely suppressed .

Pfft . Pfft .

He executed Dragon Roar Stance repeatedly, leaving bloody holes in Blackwater Palace Lord’s body . Blackwater Palace Lord tried his best to direct the attacks to non-vital spots, but his injuries were aggravated by such movements .

This Skydemon is really tenacious . He still isn’t dead? Meng Chuan slashed Blackwater Palace Lord’s chest . He successfully cut off the other party’s arm, sending his severed arm flying .

This darn Meng Chuan! Blackwater Palace Lord was filled with grief and indignation . However, he could not resist Yang Fang with just one arm .

Boom!

Blackwater Palace Lord’s eyes were filled with determination . He suddenly opened his mouth and spat out a black demon core . At the same time, he transformed into seven black streams of water as he frantically flew into the distance .

He wants to self-destruct his demon core . Lightning flashed across Meng Chuan’s body as he instantly grabbed Yang Fang . With a whoosh, he traveled 2000 feet to the side . Only then did the demon core explode! Blackwater Palace Lord didn’t ignite his demon core too early, afraid that he would end up killing himself .

As a Skydemon, his physical body was his primary source of strength . Although the cost of losing a demon core was huge, he could still live .

Blackwater Palace Lord only wanted to live!
