Chapter 277 - Meng Chuan vs Archean Mountain Lord

“Junior Brother, feel free to attack.” Archean Mountain Lord stood in midair. He had been a Regis Godfiend for nearly 300 years, and he cultivated the Archean Divine Body. His mastery over his techniques was immense. Now that he was fighting against someone weaker-akin to a bully-it was naturally easier for him to deal with a Marquis Godfiend. He could tell that his junior brother’s body was extraordinary, but his attacking prowess was limited.

Meng Chuan stood there. Within 1,000 feet, the void around him collapsed and distorted. It was difficult for the void to withstand the combined power of his Undying Body’s countless particles.

“Senior Brother, be careful.” Meng Chuan instantly drew his saber and moved.

It was as though he had teleported as traveled through the void. With a single step, he arrived beside the 1,000-foot-tall illusory giant. The saber beam instantly pierced toward the illusory giant’s chest. This was because Archean Mountain Lord was at the giant’s chest.

Dragon Roar Stance! This was the first time Meng Chuan had used his full strength after reaching the Undying realm. This move contained his naturally-possessed Lightning Devastator Fiend Body speed and his Undying Body’s strength. The Dragon Roar Stance was Meng Chuan’s best penetrating attack.

Pfft.

Layers of black light surrounded the illusory giant’s chest as it caved in, doing their best to withstand the attack.

This saber attack is at the level of a Regis Godfiend. Archean Mountain Lord was astonished. If I were careless and was forced out of my defensive combat body by a Marquis-level junior brother, that would be a joke. He instantly became nervous.

When an Archean Divine Body Godfiend reached a certain cultivation realm, they would cultivate two combat bodies. One was for killing enemies, while the other was for protecting themselves.

“Junior Brother, your saber techniques aren’t bad.” Archean Mountain Lord used a finger technique. The illusory giant’s fingers began moving. The five huge fingers danced as spacetime distorted. It was difficult to see the fingers with the naked eye. The distorted spacetime made Meng Chuan feel extremely uncomfortable when moving. He clearly wanted to advance, but spacetime kept distorting, warping his path.

Black Metal Sutra-Archean Seal Art. Meng Chuan understood what technique Archean Mountain Lord was using. Every Archean Divine Body Godfiend would cultivate it. Despite knowing this, Meng Chuan still felt aggrieved and uncomfortable.

If I want to escape, I have to flee in one direction. However, if I want to storm my way over, I have to break through the obstruction of those two palms. Those two palms are now 1,000 feet wide. They are like two mountains in front of me.

Meng Chuan had a headache. However, he still used Swallow Stance. His figure was ghost-like.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Fast and unpredictable, Meng Chuan instantly circled the illusory giant as he searched for an opportunity to get closer to Archean Mountain Lord.

“Junior Brother, your movement technique sure is fast.” Archean Mountain Lord smiled as the giant’s arm suddenly extended. A palm instantly appeared in front of Meng Chuan. The giant fingers danced as spacetime distorted. Meng Chuan wanted to dodge the palm, but he failed. His vision blurred as a gigantic finger appeared in front of him.

Not good.

The finger was 500 feet long. The five elements around the finger were chaotic as spacetime distorted. The finger struck Meng Chuan in an exquisite, intricate manner.

Pfft.

Meng Chuan’s body trembled as blood sprayed out from his pores. However, the sprayed blood flew back into his body. Meng Chuan was sent flying hundreds of feet away. With a flash, he arrived behind the illusory giant.

“Junior Brother, your body is in no way inferior to a fifth Firmament demon monarch,” said Archean Mountain Lord with a smile. The illusory giant’s back was clearly facing Meng Chuan, but the head twisted 180°. His palms naturally welcomed Meng Chuan.

Meng Chuan didn’t say a word.

The difference in technique realm is too great. This senior brother of mine has long reached the Dharma Domain realm. His moves are more exquisite than mine. Although my Undying Body and saber arts can influence the void, he can control the Five Elements and affect spacetime.

Meng Chuan sensed that the closer he got to Archean Mountain Lord, the more spacetime distorted. It was very difficult for him to unleash his strength fully. If I don’t use all my strength, I won’t be able to threaten Senior Brother at all.

Clang! Clang! Clang! Suddenly, a bell rang.

A Soul-Buster Bell flew out. Invisible to the naked eye, the bell struck the other party.

Baneful aura domain! Meng Chuan no longer released only a single wisp of baneful aura. Instead, he unleashed his full strength. A majestic dark-cyan baneful aura erupted from Meng Chuan and spread in all directions, enveloping a 1000-foot-wide area.

“Oh?” The pair of huge palms that were about to strike Meng Chuan hadn’t even touched him. Just 1,000 feet away, they were attacked by a large amount of baneful aura. The terrifying frost baneful aura assaulted the giant from every direction. The volume of baneful aura was much greater than before. The terrifying chill made Archean Mountain Lord’s expression change slightly. He could feel his Quintessential Essence—that circulated around his combat body-slowing down due to the chill.

Even my Quintessential Essence has slowed down under this baneful aura domain? Archean Mountain Lord couldn’t believe it. Also, his Essence Soul mystic technique… I’ve cultivated for 400 years, but his Essence Soul is of similar strength to mine? Archean Mountain Lord also had a Soul-Buster in his sea of consciousness. He also had a fourth-level Essence Soul. He resisted Meng Chuan’s Soul-Buster Bell, but it was clear that he didn’t hold an advantage when it came to Essence Souls.

He’s slowed down! Meng Chuan was delighted when he saw the illusory giant’s palms slow down. He had unparalleled speed, so he naturally had a larger advantage now that his opponent had slowed down. This was also the reason why Meng Chuan chose to follow the frost baneful aura path when he was completing his Nine Refinements. It was mainly to complement his speed.

Whoosh.

Once Archean Mountain Lord’s palm attacks slowed down, no matter how exquisite they were, their effectiveness against Meng Chuan would be greatly reduced. Meng Chuanwhose body was glowing-rushed into the area of distorted spacetime and headed toward the illusory giant’s chest. Without any hesitation, he executed saber move after saber move. He executed the Heart Saber Stance every time!

Yin and Yang changed.

A strange force penetrated the illusory giant’s body and was weakened to 20 to 30 percent of its original might. It continued charging towards Archean Mountain Lord’s real body.

When Meng Chuan had previously executed Dragon Roar Stance-his most penetrating move-he hadn’t even managed to break through Archean Mountain Lord’s combat body. After that, he knew the only move that could threaten Archean Mountain Lord was Heart Saber Stance.

“Oh?” Through his Seamless domain, Archean Mountain Lord could clearly sense that the strange force only had 20 to 30 perfect of its original strength left. He smiled slightly. Relying on only his Seamless domain, the strange force weakened as it crossed multiple layers of Quintessential Essence. The strange force dissipated before it even reached his body.

Even that doesn’t work? A sharp glint flashed in Meng Chuan’s eyes. He held his saber with both hands and cleaved down.

Break!

The saber slashed at the illusory giant.

Boom!

The entire grotto-heaven suddenly trembled as a terrifying bolt of lightning shot out from Meng Chuan’s hands. It followed Demon Slayer and struck the illusory giant’s chest. The huge bolt of lightning was blinding, startling Qin Wu and Luo Tang. The black light around the illusory giant’s chest tried to block the lightning, but it couldn’t withstand such a terrifying strike due to Archean Mountain Lord’s decreased Quintessential Essence circulation speed—which was a result of Meng Chuan’s frost baneful aura domain.

Bang!

The layers of black light surrounding the giant’s chest were blasted apart. The lightning bolt flew towards the shocked Archean Mountain Lord.

Heaven’s Wrath-one of Meng Chuan’s three divine powers!

Among his three divine powers, this was Meng Chuan’s strongest killer move after reaching the Undying realm. He could release up to 30 percent of the lightning in his body at once. Every particle in his body contained lightning, causing Meng Chuan to have an immense amount of lightning inside his body. Although he had an Essence Soul Thought in each particle space-giving him great control over his particle spaces-his body could only withstand unleashing 30 percent of the lightning in his body.

Meng Chuan could only cast Heaven’s Wrath —his ultimate move—three times in a row.
