Chapter 474 - Rift

Monarch Peacock had completely vanished into the endless darkness. However, Meng Chuan continued staring at the endless darkness. Thoughts surfaced in his mind. Outer realm? When will I be able to enter the outer realm?

Ancestral Master Archean Eon entered the outer realm when he was a Creation Supremacy. After countless encounters, he cultivated until he became a Physical Body Seventh Tribulation Eminence and completely changed the human world.

There are too many things in the outer realm. There are countless cultivation opportunities similar to the ones in the World Gap. Records show that it’s almost impossible to become an Imperial Lord if one doesn’t enter the outer realm to hone themselves.

Meng Chuan understood what the records were trying to say. Although cultivation talent was important, fortuitous encounters were just as important. If Meng Chuan hadn’t come to the World Gap to observe the purple lightning, his growth would’ve been much slower.

After one went to the outer realm, they would see things thousands of times more inconceivable than the purple lightning. After experiencing different sorts of cultivation opportunities, one would be able to go even further on their cultivation path. The human world’s Creation Supremacies also know that they can go further if they adventure in the outer realm. However, in the past 800 years, Master and company have been staying in our homeworld silently to protect it. Meng Chuan sighed. On the one hand, the Creation Supremacies guarded their homeworld quietly. On the other hand, they would be pursued by demons if they went to the outer realm.

Meng Chuan had to admit that he had a slight impulse when he saw Monarch Peacock leave the World Gap to roam the outer realm.

He wanted to roam the outer realm and broaden his horizons. However, humanity currently faced a dire situation, so he couldn’t just abandon his duties here.

I’m not even a Creation Supremacy. I’m overthinking things. Meng Chuan let out a self-deprecating laugh before flying away.

The Demon Realm, Ice Palace. “Congratulations, Brother Roc. You have finally reached the perfected Heaven Earth realm after cultivating for 7,000 years.” Imperial Lord Starquix raised his cup with a smile.

“There’s finally a chance of a demon Tribulation Eminence being born in our generation,” said Lady Blackmoon with a smile. “When the time comes, you will have to take care of Starquix and me.”

Emperor Roc sat at the seat of honor with a rare smile on his face. He was already famous to begin with. He was the most famous of the Demon Realm’s three Imperial lords. Imperial Lord Starquix and Lady Blackmoon were still at the Heaven Earth realm’s middle stage. Originally, Emperor Roc was just one step faster than them—Heaven Earth realm’s late stage. There hadn’t been an exaggerated difference between them.

No, his fame was mainly a result of his special bloodline. It made Emperor Roc’s combat prowess extremely terrifying.

“Hahaha, we are all from the Demon Realm, so we naturally have to support each other,” said Emperor Roc with a laugh. Following that, he sighed. “It’s been 7,000 years. My other avatar has encountered all sorts of opportunities while roaming the outer realm. He has also experienced many battles. He has finally reached the perfected Heaven Earth realm. There’s a chance for him to cultivate his body to perfection.”

“If you perfect your body, you can enter the Tribulation realm,” said Imperial Lord Starquix immediately.

“Even at the perfected Heaven Earth realm, it’s not easy to perfect the body,” said Emperor Roc. “In Archean Eon Realm, many have reached the perfected Heaven Earth realm. However, only Ancestral Master Archean Eon’s body reached perfection, allowing him to become a Physical Body Tribulation Eminence. Nobody else managed the feat.”

“That’s because there are flaws in Archean Eon Realm’s cultivation system,” said Lady Blackmoon with disdain. “Although the Godfiend cultivation system gives one strong Quintessential Essence, it’s not very good at refining one’s body. Only a Samsara Divine Body expert has a chance of perfecting their body. Us demons are different. We value our bodies more. Over the generations, many people have reached the Tribulation realm using our cultivation system.”

Imperial Lord Starquix nodded and said immediately, “Brother Roc, you will definitely reach the Tribulation realm.”

Lady Blackmoon and Imperial Lord Starquix were trying to curry favor.

Emperor Roc was currently at the perfected Heaven Earth realm. With his bloodline, his explosive combat strength was comparable to that of a First or Second Tribulation Eminence. His status in the surrounding outer realm regions would increase greatly as well.

Emperor Roc would only help them if they maintained a good relationship with him. If they were to offend Emperor Roc, there was a chance of him killing them. After all, there had been demon Imperial Lords that killed each other in history.

“There’s still hope for the two of you to reach the Tribulation realm,” said Emperor Roc with a smile. “Your hopes lie in Ancestral Master Archean Eon’s treasure trove.”

Imperial Lord Starquix’s and Blackmoon’s eyes lit up as they nodded. “If I want to go further down the Tribulation realm path, I also need his inheritance. Therefore, we have to obtain it,” said Emperor Roc.

“We will definitely do our best,” said Imperial Lord Starquix and Lady Blackmoon.

Huh? Imperial Lord Starquix suddenly sensed something and looked into the distance. “That peacock left the World Gap and entered the outer realm. Furthermore, it’s quickly leaving the Demon Realm’s vicinity.”

“It went to the outer realm?” Blackmoon couldn’t help but say, “It brought the Tribulation treasure that we bestowed it into the outer realm to adventure? Starquix, you are the most accurate at sensing karma. Hurry up and capture it. That peacock is still very useful in the war with the humans.”

“I don’t think it’s suitable to capture it,” said Imperial Lord Starquix with a frown.

“There’s no need to capture it.” Emperor Roc added, “That peacock only has 50-plus years left to live. It’s fearless. If it wants to roam the outer realm, let it do as it pleases. Once we need this peacock for the war… it won’t be too late to bring it back. By then, the peacock will have to accept our gratitude.”

Lady Blackmoon nodded. “That’s true. If we capture it now, it will probably be filled with hatred. It could spoil our plans at a critical moment.”

“Furthermore, that tiny peacock hasn’t become a demon sage. It probably won’t be able to travel through the River of Spacetime,” said Emperor Roc with a smile. “Even if it can travel through the River of Spacetime with its special bloodline, its speed will be ridiculously slow… How far can it run? Furthermore, it has lacking speed. It won’t be able to escape the Three Bay River System, even if it traveled for 10,000 years. I only need half a month to cross the entire Three Bay River System,” said Emperor Roc confidently.

“Brother Roc’s speed is indeed impressive. Even if I traveled at full speed, it would take me ten years to cross the Three Bay River System in the River of Spacetime,” said Imperial Lord Starquix. The Three Bay River System was the name of this particular region in the River of Spacetime. Archean Eon Realm and the Demon Realm were inside the Three Bay River System.

It covered an extremely vast area.

In the World Gap.

A table and chair stood upon the vast dark-red ground. Meng Chuan sat on the chair and glanced at the purple lightning as he painted.

He was painting the purple lightning for the fifth time.

When he was at the Grotto-Heaven realm’s early stage, Meng Chuan had painted the purple lightning for the third time when he had free time. It had taken him 73 days of careful painting to finish the third set of paintings. After reaching the Grotto-Heaven realm, he had a deeper understanding of the purple lightning.

When he was at the Grotto-Heaven realm’s middle stage, Meng Chuan had completed the fourth set of paintings in just 33 days. Since his technique realm didn’t improve much, he didn’t gain many insights from studying the purple lightning the fourth time. Therefore, he finished the fourth set of paintings much faster.

He was now painting the purple lightning for the fifth time.

This time, he finished painting after 28 days. Alright. Meng Chuan waved his hand and put away the paintings. He also put away the table, chair, brush, and ink.

I’ll try cultivating the Infinite Saber again. The five sets of paintings—which all depicted the purple lightning’s different aspects-made Meng Chuan even more expectant about the Infinite Saber’s future direction.

He immediately swung his saber.

Whoosh. Whoosh. Whoosh.

He swung the unsheathed Demon Slayer and slashed out multiple dazzling saber beams, his eyes analyzing them one by one. Although the saber beams didn’t seem fast, they caused the void to distort slightly. These saber beams affected the flow of time slightly, producing afterimages as they traveled.

He kept sheathing and drawing his saber for ten consecutive days.

It still isn’t working. Meng Chuan was somewhat vexed. I can clearly sense that this is the correct direction. Flash Form of Lightning is Infinite Saber’s core. I will further improve Infinite Saber by having the Yin-Yang Form of Lightning and Wave Splitting Forms of Lightning complement it. Once all three aspects merge, Infinite Saber will undergo a qualitative transformation.

The Bloodblade Disc and Three World Saber prove that this direction is correct. So why can’t I create this move?

He had already accumulated enough insights into the lightning lineage. After all, his Cloud Dragon Snake Movement Technique had already reached the Grotto-Heaven realm’s late stage. After spending many years studying the purple lightning, his insights towards the lightning lineage grew more profound each time.

However, he was still unable to figure out how he should combine the three different aspects of lightning. Fusing ordinary aspects together were meaningless. He had to break free of the worldly law’s suppression if he wanted to improve his Infinite Saber.

How can I make my Infinite Saber break through? Meng Chuan was very vexed by this conundrum. It was like there was a wall in front of him. He could touch the wall, but he couldn’t break it.

This wall blocked all the experts in human history! Nobody in the Archean Eon Realm had ever created their own paramount techniques.

Even in the endless River of Spacetime, one would be the strongest amongst peers of the same level if they had a paramount technique. The birth of a new paramount technique was extremely rare, even in the vast River of Spacetime.

It’s really not easy to create a paramount technique. Meng Chuan shook his head slightly. Perhaps I’ll have to follow my Cloud Dragon Snake Movement Technique’s path in the future.

Meng Chuan began cultivating the Cloud Dragon Snake Movement Technique again.

Great Zhou Dynasty, Snow Wind Pass.

Although Snow Wind Pass was very cold, it was still a bustling city. After all, over ten million people lived here.

Afternoon at the inner city pass, 5th October.

The massive World Entrance—that was four kilometers wide—was still there. Through the huge World Entrance, one could clearly see the vast Demon Realm’s scenery.

At this moment, the human world and the Demon Realm approached each other slowly, causing some changes to occur in Snow Wind Pass.

The huge World Entrance—which was four kilometers wide— trembled slightly and distorted.

Rip!

A World Entrance—more than ten kilometers wide-ripped apart the previous World Entrance.

The guards standing at the inner city wall were completely stunned when they saw this. Although they stood on top of the inner city walls, they couldn’t see both ends of the World Entrance. All of the soldiers’ legs instinctively went weak as their hearts trembled with fear.
