Archean Eon Art Chapter 276

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.
