Chapter 276 Verification

“As for the demons, they have several Imperial Lords every era . Their foundations are much weaker,” said Luo Tang . “Luckily, we have the geographical advantage . The top demon experts are unable to enter the human world at all . The demons’ powerful treasures… Without the Demon Realm’s powers to rely on, their effects are drastically reduced in the human world . They might even be useless . The protective stone talisman your master gave you can only be used in the human world,” said Luo Tang . “It’s useless once you leave the human world . ”

Meng Chuan understood . These single-use treasures didn’t contain their own strength, so they naturally had to have a source of power . After leaving the original world, most of these treasures lost their power sources .

“There are many Imperial Lords in the demons’ history . For this war, they have probably bestowed quite the number of treasures to fourth Firmament demon monarchs . ” Luo Tang shook her head gently . “I wonder when we will produce an Imperial Lord . ”

Imperial Lord? Meng Chuan sighed inwardly .

The Heart Intent Saber Art—which he learned —came from Senior Guo Ke . Although he was a Regis Godfiend, his strongest saber movewhich he had created when he was old-had also reached the Imperial Lord level . With his saber, he was invincible in his era . However, Guo Ke was much weaker than Grandsire Yin Yang . Guo Ke only had one saber move that had reached the Imperial Lord level! Grandsire Yin Yang had created a complete transcendent-grade Godfiend body formula and several ultimate techniques that formed a whole system . In the past, Black Sand Grotto-Heaven suppressed Two World Island, but all thanks to Grandsire Yin Yang, it remained standing .

“The birth of an Imperial Lord, the appearance of an expert with an eighth-level Essence Soul, or something else…” said Qin Wu . “As long as one appears, we will win the war . ”

“But each is very difficult to achieve,” said the illusory Luo Tang .

Qin Wu put away the bear demon statue and said, “Meng Chuan, the final battle will begin any moment now . Luo Tang and I are discussing how you will be deployed . ”

Luo Tang explained, “Now, it’s estimated that 700 fourth Firmament demon monarchs will attack together . There are only so many large cities, so it’s impossible for them to act alone . The greatest possibility… is that they will work together in teams . Among the 700 fourth Firmament demon monarchs, there are many peak fourth Firmament demon monarchs . They will choose the most suitable partners to cooperate with them . Then, they will match the treasures that the demon Imperial Lords’ bestowed on them .

“Every fourth Firmament demon monarch team will probably have the strength of an ordinary fifth Firmament demon monarch,” said the illusory Luo Tang, “It’s even possible for a newly-advanced fifth Firmament demon monarch to be hidden amongst them . ”

Qin Wu nodded . “If you aren’t strong enough, you will die by the hands of demons if we deploy you as a reinforcement… Thus, Luo Tang and I want to verify your strength before you can be deployed . ”

“Alright . ” Meng Chuan nodded . He also wanted to test his full strength . Only with a clear understanding of his strength could they decide on how they would deploy him .

“You can fight Archean Mountain Lord,” said Luo Tang

The white-haired Archean Mountain Lord smiled at Meng Chuan . “Junior Brother Meng, you have to be careful . ”

“Fight Mountain Lord?” Meng Chuan’s eyes lit up . Archean Mountain Lord was the nominal leader of Archean Mountain . Furthermore, he was more than 400 years old . After living for so long, Archean Mountain Lord’s strength was definitely extraordinary among Regis Godfiends .

“Both of you don’t need to think too much,” instructed Qin Wu . “Use all your strength . With me around, nothing will happen . ”

“Yes . ” Archean Mountain Lord was deep in thought . He had previously thought of holding back . After all, once a killer move was used, it could kill .

Within this grotto-heaven, Meng Chuan and Archean Mountain Lord looked at each other . Qin Wu and the illusory Luo Tang watched from afar .

“Mountain Lord, try this baneful aura of mine,” said Meng Chuan . A dark-cyan gas emanated from his body . After all, this was a test of strength, not a life-and-death battle . Meng Chuan first used his baneful aura, the ability he was most unsure of . He wanted to let his opponent feel the strength of his baneful aura fully .

Chi! Chi! Chi!

The dark-cyan gaseous baneful aura quickly spread out . The surrounding Heaven and Earth tried to suppress it, but it couldn’t be held back . Frost was left in its wake .

“This baneful aura is truly powerful . ” Luo Tang, who was watching by the side, praised . “Even Archean Mountain Lord’s Five Directions World domain can’t suppress it . ”

Chi! Chi! Chi!

Archean Mountain Lord was forced to protect himself from the dark-cyan baneful aura once it was within 30 feet of him . He used his black Quintessential Essence and Seamless domain to stop the dark-cyan baneful aura from advancing any further .

“Junior Brother Meng, your baneful aura is indeed impressive . Although I can block it, the surrounding area has been frozen . I only have 50 percent of my normal speed,” said Archean Mountain Lord . “However, I typically don’t need to move when I fight . ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a towering illusory black giant appeared . Black light swirled around the illusory giant’s 1000-feet-tall body . Archean Mountain Lord levitated inside the illusory giant’s body .

Meng Chuan’s dark-cyan baneful aura attacked the giant, but it could only affect the giant’s speed . Archean Combat Body? Meng Chuan realized what the illusory giant was .

Among the 12 transcendent-grade Godfiend bodies, the Thirteen Swordbane Fiend Body had the greater long-range offensive power . However, it was a glass cannon . The Samsara Divine Body was the most well-rounded in close combat . The Archean Divine Body was the most well-rounded in long-range attacks .

The two were very similar . This was because both required one to cultivate the five elements . One needed to combine five different elemental Intents . The Samsara Divine Body was slightly more difficult to cultivate because it used the five elements to cultivate one’s physical body . The Archean Divine Body used the five elements to cultivate an illusory combat body . This illusory body didn’t have the limitations of a physical body, so it was naturally very powerful . However, the body was relatively weak . Once the illusory body was destroyed, one wouldn’t be far from death .

If one’s illusory combat body couldn’t withstand an attack, then their Quintessential Essence also wouldn’t withstand the attack either .

Meng Chuan was looking forward to facing an Archean Combat Body .

“Junior Brother Meng, take this . ” Archean Mountain Lord waved his palm .

Immediately, the black illusory giant struck out with its palm . When it first struck out, the palm was only about 100 feet wide . As the palm approached Meng Chuan, the giant’s arm extended, and its palm rapidly expanded . The 2,000-foot-long arm and 1000-foot-wide palm approached Meng Chuan .

Meng Chuan looked up . He felt the surrounding void rapidly pressing down on him, but he didn’t dodge the palm . He just raised his head and allowed the huge palm to slam down heavily .

Clang!

The ground trembled as a gigantic palm-shaped crater formed .

“What?” Archean Mountain Lord raised his palm and discovered Meng Chuan flying out of the crater as his body glowed . The void around Meng Chuan collapsed and distorted .

Meng Chuan wasn’t injured at all . He raised his head and smiled . “Mountain Lord, this palm strike of yours is quite powerful . It made my ears buzz . However, its power was scattered all over my body . It hasn’t even broken my skin . ”

Qin Wu and Luo Tang’s eyes lit up as they watched from afar .

“What’s going on? That palm is definitely a peak Regis Godfiend attack,” said Luo Tang immediately . “Qin Wu, take a careful look . Why is his body so powerful? Is he that powerful at the Undying realm?”

Qin Wu’s true body was present; thus, he could see the secrets of Meng Chuan’s body in a single glance . “Meng Chuan’s body is as tough as a fifth Firmament demon monarch’s . Furthermore, he used a divine power to withstand that palm strike . It’s that glow that’s emitting from his body . This divine power allowed his body’s defense to increase once again . It’s as though his entire body is covered in a layer of armor! The strike was greatly weakened by the armor . When the remaining force reached Meng Chuan’s body, it caused his body to tremble and bleed internally . However, he recovered instantly . ”

“An Undying realm expert can instantly recover even if their body is pulverized . ” Luo Tang sighed in amazement . “I’ve read the introduction of this cultivation system and know that an Undying Body has extremely tenacious vitality . However, I never expected it to be this tough . This is the first time I’ve seen an Undying realm expert . No wonder Ancestral Master Archean Eon placed this cultivation system which peaks at the Blood Droplet realm in the human world-in Archean Eon Grotto-Heaven . ” “Meng Chuan, use your full strength,” shouted Qin Wu, “Don’t just take a beating . ” “Yes,” replied Meng Chuan immediately .
