Chapter 452 - Cracking the Formation

Through a gap in the black chains, Meng Chuan could see the endless black river outside. He could sense the array formation’s terrifying might.

Attacking the array formation head-on would be the most foolish decision.

Now that I’ve reached the Grotto-heaven realm, I should be able to control the Bloodblade Disc’s runic array formation better. The Bloodblade Disc floated in front of Meng Chuan. His Essence Soul thought had already seeped into the Bloodblade Disc. The billions of runes on the Bloodblade Disc were mysterious and complicated. Ignoring the barely discernible runes, he could see complete runes up to the 128th layer.

With the increase in Meng Chuan’s cultivation realm and him reaching the Grotto-Heaven realm, his prowess with the lightning lineage underwent a qualitative change. After looking at these runes with increased insight and knowledge, Meng Chuan understood a lot more of them, especially the superficial ones! Although he didn’t fully comprehend each individual rune, he could understand the relationships between the different runic patterns. It gave him knowledge on how to activate them.

The Cloud Dragon Snake Movement Technique has improved on the World Roving Dragon Saber’s foundation. My movement technique has improved, and my strength has also improved.

If ultimate techniques were divided into levels, the World Roving Dragon Saber would be considered a high-grade Creation-level technique. The Cloud Dragon Snake Movement Technique can be considered a transcendent-grade Creation-level technique. However, I based my movement technique on Senior Ye Hong’s foundation, so she deserves half the credit.

In terms of foundation, the Cloud Dragon Snake Movement Technique was on par with the True Martial Seven Absolutes. The True Martial Seven Absolutes built on the Yin-Yang Art’s foundation. Similarly, the Cloud Dragon Snake Movement Technique was built on the World Roving Dragon Saber’s foundation.

These two techniques were peak Creation-level ultimate techniques that were created by human Godfiends. The True Martial Seven Absolutes granted one a more comprehensive combat prowess. The Cloud Dragon Snake Movement Technique focused more on variations in movements and speed.

Since Meng Chuan focused on movement techniques, although he was only in the early stage of the Grotto-Heaven realm, his attainments in this aspect had already reached an unimaginable level.

Of course, in the vast River of Spacetime, there were Creation-level ultimate techniques that surpassed the True Martial Seven Absolutes and the Cloud Dragon Snake Movement Technique.

For example, the Golden Lotus Descent was a paramount Creation-level technique. It was far superior to the True Martial Seven Absolutes and the Cloud Dragon Snake Movement Technique. However, it was also much more difficult to create such a strong technique. Such miraculous techniques made it possible for a Creation Supremacy to kill an Imperial Lord.

Oh? King True Martial, King Molten, and company saw the Bloodblades fly back to Meng Chuan from the deep void.

Meng Chuan looked at the Regis Godfiends around him.

“Junior Brother Meng?” King True Martial looked at Meng Chuan expectantly.

“Senior Brother, please use your domain to prevent the demon monarchs outside from prying,” said Meng Chuan. “Once I crack the array formation, you must immediately hold Monarch Peacock back.”

King True Martial nodded. “Don’t worry. Leave it to me.”

“King Eastcalm, you must remember that your safety comes first,” reminded King Thousand Wood.

King Molten, Peng Mu, and King Calm Sea looked at Meng Chuan. “King Eastcalm, you have to be careful of the demons’ methods.”

Meng Chuan had too many responsibilities. They couldn’t allow any accidents to happen to him.

Meng Chuan smiled. “Everyone, please wait for the good news.”

Whoosh.

He disappeared. In reality, he had entered the deep void immediately.

“I can’t see him at all?”

“I heard that Senior Ye Hong could produce 81 embodiments when executing the World Roving Dragon Saber Art. However, Meng Chuan has completely vanished?” The Regis Godfiends present were astonished.

King Transcendence also sighed in amazement. “I could only enter the shadow world after becoming a phantom lifeform. However, King Eastcalm’s skill in the void lineage allows him to enter the void’s depths completely. We can’t even see him.”

King True Martial was famous for having comprehensive combat prowess. However, he had reached the Grotto-heaven realm’s late stage. He could clearly sense Meng Chuan.

Deep in the void.

Meng Chuan stood in the same spot, but in a completely different space.

The deep void? While he stood in the deep void, Meng Chuan could see the outside world. The Black River Array Formation, Godfiends, and demon monarchs outside were slightly distorted and blurry.

King True Martial once said that the River of Spacetime is like a thousand-layered cake to him. Meng Chuan smiled. It’s about the same as what I perceive now. It’s really like a huge thousand-layered cake. The vast void is split into several layers. Ordinary mortals, ordinary Godfiends, and ordinary demon monarchs are usually in the outermost layer. As for me, I’m hidden in a very deep void layer. The void was like the sea.

Some living beings could only survive above the sea. Some could dive deep into the sea.

As for Meng Chuan, he had entered a deep void layer. His attainments in the void lineage easily allowed him to stay in this void layer and not be expelled.

The shallow void layers can still intersect with the outside world. However, it’s very difficult to come into contact with the outside world once I’m in a deep void layer, thought Meng Chuan.

A pure, powerful force could shatter the shallow void layers and connect with the outside world. As for the deep void? It was just too difficult for one to connect with the outside world from here.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

Meng Chuan released his invisible electromagnetic domain.

Ka! Ka! Ka!

Bloodblades flew out from the Bloodblade Disc -a total of 24.

With Meng Chuan’s current cultivation, he had enough control over the Bloodblade Disc’s runic formation to handle 24 Bloodblades at the same time.

With this, his defensive means had greatly improved.

An Essence Soul Seventh Tribulation Eminence had made careful considerations when refining this defensive treasure for his disciple.

The different technique realms correspond to the Bloodblade Disc’s different levels. With only six Bloodblades protecting his body, the remaining 18 Bloodblades circled Meng Chuan and accelerated within the electromagnetic domain.

Meng Chuan executed the Cloud Dragon Snake Saber Art with the 18 Bloodblades. Each of them instantly had the strength of a top Creation realm expert.

The electromagnetic domain accelerated the Bloodblades each time they circled it once.

In a few seconds, the 18 Bloodblades accelerated to their maximum speed.

The electromagnetic domain increases the Bloodblades’ speed by 30 to 40 percent. They barely have the strength of a peak Creation realm expert. Clearly, as the Bloodblades’ strength increases, the effectiveness of the speed boost-granted by the electromagnetic domain-decreases.

Apart from Flowing Sand, his other divine powers had decreasing benefits to his strength. It was an inevitable situation. Although the strength increase had decreased, Meng Chuan’s divine power still increased the Bloodblades’ power slightly.

Go. Standing in the deep void, Meng Chuan commanded the Bloodblades with a thought.

The 18 Bloodblades—which had reached their maximum speed-left the deep void and attacked the demon monarchs outside.

The True Martial domain disrupted all prying means, preventing the demons from knowing what was happening inside.

However, when Meng Chuan entered the deep void, Holy Lady Strings felt something. Huh? Among the Godfiends and demon monarchs present, her attainments in the void lineage were second only to King True Martial’s. Although she couldn’t see Meng Chuan, she could vaguely sense a living being in the deep void.

“Everyone, be careful,” said Holy Lady Strings via voice transmission. “It’s likely that a Godfiend has sneaked into the deep void.”

“Sneaked into the deep void? Who?” Monarch Peacock frowned.

Holy Lady Strings shook her head. “I don’t know.” At the same time, Nine Lives Cocoon threads spread around the Eighteen Black River Guard, carefully protecting all of them. “How can a Godfiend enter the deep void?” The Eighteen Black River Guard was somewhat nervous. An invisible enemy was very terrifying

“Strings, protect the Eighteen Black River Guard,” said Monarch Peacock.

“There are 18 of them. I can only do my best, but I can’t assure their absolute safety.” Holy Lady Strings was very uneasy. The Nine Lives Cocoon was the strongest Tribulation treasure she could’ve chosen from when it came to life-preservation means. It could protect her entire body completely. However, its defense was much weaker when used to protect her companions. Protect the Eighteen Black River Guard perfectly when the numerous threads were spread out over several kilometers? She didn’t have the confidence.

Monarch Peacock nodded and said, “Everyone, don’t panic. Every Godfiend has their own specialties. If this Godfiend can enter the deep void, his offensive means might be weak.”

As soon as he finished speaking

“Not good.” Holy Lady Strings’s expression changed drastically. She could sense a terrifying force coming from the deep void.

The Eighteen Black River Guard controlled the array formation and suppressed the void. Finally, they sensed the terrifying force. However, it was too late for them!

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Beams of light arrived from the deep void. The moment they appeared in the outside world, they were only a few feet away from a goat demon Black River Guard. The light beams instantly struck him. The goat demon’s eyes widened, unable to react in time. In the blink of an eye, the Black River Guard member exploded!
