Chapter 349 Runes

“Apart from this, what’s the second item of your choice?” asked Li Guan .

“Origins treasure, Clear Sky . ” Meng Chuan didn’t hesitate to answer .

The advantage of an Origins treasure was certainly huge . It could draw upon Archean Mountain’s powers to form an Imperial Lord-level domain . It was the strongest defensive technique in a head-on clash! Even a peak fifth Firmament demon monarch’s attack couldn’t penetrate the domain . Even Demon Sage Nine Abyss’s strength would be reduced to 30 to 40 percent . This was much more useful than a Tribulation Eminence’s weapon . The only flaw of these Origins treasures was that their powers remained constant . By the time he reached the Grotto-Heaven realm, he would be able to unleash the might of a Tribulation Eminence weapon . It would be far more powerful than an Origins treasure .

At the very least, it can protect me for a few decades . The next few decades are a crucial period . That’s how long I’ll take to wipe out all the demon monarchs in the world .

“Alright, wait here . We’ll help you retrieve them . ” Li Guan, Qin Wu, and Luo Tang turned and left . They pushed open the hall’s door, which led to an empty square . Other buildings surrounded it .

Meng Chuan sat alone in the hall and waited .

Ancestral Master Archean Eon left behind many treasures for us descendants . Meng Chuan flipped through the books . The three Tribulation Eminence treasures that he could choose came from Ancestral Master Archean Eon .

From this, one could tell just how strong the human race was . Although the human world had produced Essence Soul Tribulation Eminences before, the strongest one had only reached the Third Tribulation realm . Therefore, there were few treasures left for humans .

Moments later, Li Guan, Qin Wu, and Luo Tang walked into the hall . Li Guan held a box as he walked to Meng Chuan . Once he was in front of Meng Chuan, he opened the box .

An ordinary, blood-red, metal disc laid inside the box .

Li Guan gently tapped it with his finger, and a wisp of Quintessential Essence seeped into the Bloodblade Disc . Dense runes immediately appeared on the Bloodblade Disc’s surface . Lightning also flashed around the Bloodblade Disc and emitted a terrifying aura .

Meng Chuan’s Essence Soul trembled when the aura appeared .

“A divine item usually conceals its strength . You typically wouldn’t be able to see anything impressive about it . It only reacted because I used my Quintessential Essence to probe it,” said Li Guan . “In fact, the Bloodblade Disc is made of extremely precious materials . It’s extremely compatible with the lightning lineage . You are now a Regis Godfiend . You can only refine the Bloodblade disc by using an Intrinsic Artifact Refining Art . ”

Li Guan handed a book to Meng Chuan . “This book contains the instructions on how to use the Intrinsic Artifact Refining Art . To use this art, one requires a fourth-level Essence Soul . You meet the requirements . ”

Meng Chuan took the book .

“Remember, Godfiends can only have one intrinsic treasure . Unless it’s destroyed or taken away, you can’t refine a second one,” said Li Guan . “However, if it’s destroyed or taken away, it will severely damage your Essence Soul, all the way to its foundation . You will lose your memories, and your perception will be greatly reduced . Therefore, no Godfiend will change their intrinsic treasure unless they are forced to . ”

Meng Chuan nodded slightly . “Understood . ”

The Essence Soul was the foundation of life . If his body was destroyed, he could still possess another person’s body . However, if his Essence Soul was destroyed, he would be truly dead . If one’s Essence Soul was too heavily injured, it was possible for one to become a fool . If one’s memories were incomplete and their perception was greatly reduced, one would become stupid . It was very common for one’s Essence Soul to be damaged .

“This is Clear sky . ” Li Guan waved his hand, and a faint cyan-colored lightning bead flew towards Meng Chuan . “Clear Sky can be used easily . It’s best if you store it in your dantian space . Don’t let the enemy take it,” instructed Li Guan .

Meng Chuan reached out and clenched his fist . He felt the bead emanating warmth . Immediately, he opened his mouth and sucked the bead in .

Swoosh .

The bead could change size . It obediently flew into his dantian space and approached the Grotto-Heaven Magic Bead .

“You can test its might outside the hall,” said Li Guan with a smile .

Meng Chuan nodded and walked out of the hall . He stood in an empty square . He infused his Quintessential Essence into Clear Sky and activated the runic patterns on it . The runic patterns were simple to use . He first guided Archean Mountain’s powers into descending upon him; he then controlled Archean Mountain’s powers carefully .

Whoosh .

A faint cyan fog silently appeared in a five-kilometer radius around Meng Chuan . The cyan fog was a corporeal lightning bolt . Countless bolts of lightning condensed into clouds, gathering around Meng Chuan .

Three layers of lightning barriers appeared in a ten-foot radius around Meng Chuan, protecting him from any attacks .

“The Clear Sky domain weakens an enemy as they pass through each layer . ” The cyan fog also shrouded Li Guan, Luo Tang, and Qin Wu . Li Guan said, “The three layers of protective lightning contain more than half of Clear Sky’s strength, giving it the strongest defense . ”

“It’s easy to control it . ” Meng Chuan nodded . He only used a small amount of Quintessential Essence to activate it . The domain’s power originated from Archean Mountain, so he didn’t feel burdened by activating it . However, it was extremely powerful .

Qin Wu smiled and said, “Meng Chuan, be it Clear Sky or the Bloodblade Disc, they are Archean Mountain’s treasures that are passed down from generation to generation . If you reach the end of your lifespan, you will have to return the treasures to the sect . ”

“I understand . ” Meng Chuan nodded and worriedly said, “What if I end up dying due to being weak…”

“In human history, many Creation Supremacies from Archean Mountain have gone to the River of Spacetime . Most of them never return,” said Li Guan helplessly . “What can we do if the treasures are lost? However, according to the sect’s rules, Creation Supremacies are forbidden from carrying a Tribulation Eminence weapon into the River of Spacetime . Only an Imperial Lord has the right to do so . Of course, if there’s a special reason, we can make an exception . For example, we made an exception for you . You were allowed to obtain the Bloodblade Disc despite being a Regis Godfiend . ”

Meng Chuan nodded .

“Refine it well . Even after Ancestral Master Archean Eon’s preliminary tempering, it still won’t be easy to refine a Tribulation Eminence weapon,” said Li Guan with a smile .

It really was not easy . Meng Chuan first learned the Intrinsic Artifact Refining Art before attempting to refine it . He felt like a mortal riding an unbridled horse, finding it hard to control it . Meng Chuan could only slowly refine it as time passed .

This Intrinsic Artifact Refining Art has something in common with the Undying realm cultivation method of the physical body cultivation system . Meng Chuan had discovered something when learning the Intrinsic Artifact Refining Art . This refining art required one to have a fourth-level Essence Soul—the Soul Separation stage . This was because one needed to place Essence Soul thoughts into the Bloodblade Disc . This was very similar to how Meng Chuan had placed an Essence Soul thought in each of his particle spaces .

However, the difficulty of placing Essence Soul thoughts into the Bloodblade Disc was even greater . Even though it didn’t resist Meng Chuan strongly—thanks to Ancestral Master Archean Eon’s initial refining of the Bloodblade Disc-he still found it difficult to penetrate it with his Essence Soul .

Days passed in the ancient hall .

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

Meng Chuan sat cross-legged as the Bloodblade Disc floated in front of him . It constantly trembled and emitted sounds . Lightning flashed as its terrifying aura emanated . It was an aura that was 1,000 times more terrifying than a Creation Supremacy . Finally, all the lightning snakes on the Bloodblade Disc converged . Their auras were completely restrained as they floated obediently without any movement .

It’s done . Meng Chuan wore a look of delight as he looked at the Bloodblade Disc . It took me over two months to refine it .

Store . With a thought, the Bloodblade Disc rapidly shrank and landed in Meng Chuan’s palm . Following that, it shrank to a size that was barely visible to the naked eye . It easily seeped through his skin and meridians, entering his dantian space . “I’ve finally gained control over it,” said Meng Chuan with a smile . Once I completely refine the Bloodblade Disc with the Intrinsic Artifact Refining Art, part of my Essence Soul will fuse with it . It will become a part of my Essence Soul; it will also be a part of my body . It will be like an extension of my body when I control it .

However, it’s difficult to unleash its strength . It’s a Tribulation Eminence treasure . It’s way too complicated for a Regis Godfiend like me . With a flip of his hand, Meng Chuan took out the Bloodblade Disc . With his Essence Soul, he could clearly see the vast number of runes contained within the Bloodblade Disc .

Meng Chuan had three divine powers and had also cultivated the Lightning Runes . They were also runes that contained the mysteries of the world . However, compared to the runes on the Bloodblade Disc, the number of runes was hundreds of millions of times greater . The complexity of the runes was also incomparable . Meng Chuan could see 128 layers of runes in the Bloodblade Disc . Furthermore, many runes were hidden in spacetime . They would occasionally appear in his perception, but Meng Chuan found it difficult to see the complete runes .

Is this the difference between an Essence Soul Tribulation Eminence and me? Meng Chuan sighed inwardly . Thankfully, this is a protective treasure refined by that Tribulation Eminence for his disciple . I’ll just control it at a superficial level for now . The higher his realm was, the more runes he could control . Only then would he be able to unleash the might of the Bloodblade Disc .
