Archean Eon Art

The dark-red mountain demon was extremely confident as it brought the countless rocks to form its domain. “As long as you enter my domain, you won’t be able to escape.”

Meng Chuan stood there without moving as he glanced at the countless rocks around him coldly. He stared at the dark-red mountain demon.

“Go!” With a thought from the dark-red mountain demon, its demonic energy surged as it controlled the countless rocks. All of them gathered towards Meng Chuan.

Meng Chuan remained motionless. He finally moved just before the countless rocks reached him.

Roar—

The dark-red world seemed to echo an ancient beast’s roar as terrifying saber beams erupted. In the blink of an eye, Meng Chuan executed Tiger Roar Stance nineteen times. This was Meng Chuan’s most terrifying attack. With his current strength as a Great Solar Godfiend, he was far stronger than the last time he had executed the Heart Intent Saber Art’s moves.

Every saber beam tore through countless rocks. Instantly, powder scattered. The area one kilometer around him was reduced to dust. There weren’t any rocks left.

A terrifying series of explosions took place! Even if a saber beam didn’t hit the rocks, they would still be blasted to smithereens from the “explosions” generated by the saber beams.

What? The mountain demon—that was charging at high speed—suddenly slowed down as it stared in shock.

Almost 60% of the rocks that once formed its outer body were completely destroyed! Meng Chuan stood in an empty area, holding a long saber in one hand as he stared coldly at the mountain demon. “This is your domain?”

How is he so much stronger? The mountain demon was shocked. Even if one went from the Indestructible realm to the Great Solar realm, one’s strength would usually only increase by a few-fold. Why was it struck with terror?

“How weak.” Meng Chuan sneered as he transformed into a bolt of lightning and charged forward.

Not good. The dark-red mountain demon was alarmed.

As there were no rocks within half a kilometer of Meng Chuan, the mountain demon wasn’t able to stop him with its domain.

Close combat? I love melee combat! Although the dark-red mountain demon was alarmed, it wasn’t afraid. It revealed eight arms and charged towards Meng Chuan.

“Die!” When it approached the bolt of lightning, six of its arms flailed rampantly. It attacked Meng Chuan with claws, palms, or fists. Each of its arms contained incomparably terrifying power. One strike could reduce ordinary Great Solar Godfiends to smithereens. Meng Chuan—who had manifested as lightning incarnate—frowned slightly. He didn’t wish to fight his opponent head-on.

Swoosh.

Meng Chuan turned around decisively, avoiding the dark-red mountain demon’s attacks.

What? With the six arms failing to connect with Meng Chuan, the dark-red mountain demon was enraged.

Blurry figures surrounded the dark-red mountain demon. They each drew their sabers and swung at the mountain demon. Saber beams—that generated a dragon’s roar—were produced by each figure.

The dark-red mountain demon wanted to block the saber beams with its eight arms, but it discovered that every strike produced dazzling lightning. They stabbed at its body, instantly warping space via void distortions! The dark-red mountain demon didn’t even have time to block.

Twelve consecutive strikes! Each strike had bizarre trajectories. With each strike distorting the void, the mountain demon failed to block a single strike. The saber beams contained terrifying penetrative power. The mountain demon’s true body couldn’t withstand them, and it was completely penetrated.

Following the dragon’s roar, twelve holes appeared in the mountain demon’s body. Every saber beam had penetrated its body, and even its head had been pierced through! However, the mountain demon continued staring at Meng Chuan. “Human Godfiend, I’ve really underestimated you.” Its demonic powers erupted suddenly. The mountain demon’s strength increased greatly. It transformed into a red phantom and charged towards Meng Chuan.

Although it was stronger, the twelve holes in its body healed extremely slowly.

To kill a mountain demon, I need to destroy its true body’s core. Great Solar Godfiends had tenacious vitality. They were able to survive their hearts being pierced. As for demon monarchs who mainly cultivated their bodies, their vitality was generally stronger than humans.

A powerful Quintessential Essence expert had many mystical moves. The power unleashed by them was even more terrifying.

Demon powerhouses had stronger bodies, as well as various bizarre techniques that originated from their bloodlines.

“Die.” The mountain demon cast forbidden spells and lunged at Meng Chuan.

Whoosh.

Meng Chuan phased away, dodging the attack easily. He appeared behind the mountain demon. A saber beam transformed into blinding lightning, caused the void to distort, and pierced through the mountain demon’s back.

He had executed the Heart Saber Stance.

Boom!

After the saber beam struck, the Yin-Yang blast passed through the mountain demon’s body, quickly reaching its core Lifestone before exploding! The Lifestone trembled violently, shattering into dozens of pieces.

“No—” The mountain demon’s eyes widened. It wanted to deliver some indignant last words, but it lost its vitality rapidly. Following that, it fell to the ground. With the loss of its life force, it began to regain consciousness after Archean Mountain’s control over it was removed.

So I was captured long ago? I was captured to be a sparring partner for human Godfiends? The mountain demon came to a realization. Regardless of whether he met Meng Chuan or not, its fate had long been decided.

After Meng Chuan killed the mountain demon, he saw the mountain demon’s surface darken, turning into dead rock.

He didn’t feel any sense of achievement after killing the demon monarch. After all, it had long been controlled by Archean Mountain!

If he wanted to kill demons, he had to go to the battlefield and fight!

Oh? Meng Chuan looked ahead as the dark-red world warped into a cave exit. Nine Mystical Caves’ exit? I’ve finally cleared the Nine Mystical Caves. Meng Chuan strode out. According to the Archean Mountain’s setup, the defeated cultivators would usually return to the entrance. Only by clearing the test would an exit appear.

He walked out of the cave. He immediately saw a sea of flowers. A sea of flowers growing during late autumn was very rare.

This was a sea of purple flowers.

“Ah Chuan.” In the sea of flowers, Liu Qiyue stood there and smiled at Meng Chuan.

“I’ve cleared it. It will be your turn tomorrow,” said Meng Chuan with a smile.

He was very confident about Qiyue’s abilities. The opponents that Archean Mountain arranged for their disciples were meticulously decided.

For example, Meng Chuan would defeat the mountain demon with his speed alone as long as he reached the Great Solar realm. No matter how strong the mountain demon was, it wouldn’t be able to touch Meng Chuan. Meng Chuan could unleash a barrage of attacks at the mountain demon. He was destined for victory. If he didn’t become a Great Solar Godfiend, he would’ve found it very difficult to destroy the mountain demon’s external body, much less its true body. It was even harder to destroy the core Lifestone within its true body.

Archean Mountain wanted Meng Chuan to experience the might of third Firmament demon monarchs. They also forced Meng Chuan to reach the Great Solar realm before he could descend the mountain.

It had been the same for Xue Feng. He only cleared the Nine Mystical Caves test after attaining Greater Mastery over Sword Soul and the Great Solar realm.

…

Liu Qiyue also succeeded the next day.

The duo arrived at Impartation Pavilion.

“Elder Yi.” Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue bowed respectfully.

Elder Yi sat cross-legged on a mat, smiling as he looked at the duo in front of him. This was a pair of youths he appreciated very much. They were top-notch Godfiends groomed by Archean Mountain! Although they were still young, they were extremely powerful. As long as they experienced more battles, they would grow quickly and begin protecting their own city passes.

“Congratulations to the two of you for clearing the Nine Mystical Caves. When you leave the mountain, you will experience life-and-death battles. The two of you have to support each other. You have to be careful when you enter the battlefield. Do not be rash. You two have too little experience on the battlefield,” instructed Elder Yi.

Liu Qiyue smiled and said, “Elder, the two of us will be very careful. I will also keep an eye on Ah Chuan.”

Meng Chuan smiled.

“The two of you need to keep an eye out for each other,” said Elder Yi with a smile as he took out three books from the side. “This is the Lightning Devastator Fiend Body’s second volume and the Phoenix Divine Body’s second volume. The last book is a mystical technique for cultivating an Essence Soul.”

Elder Yi handed the three books to Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue.

Upon reaching the Great Solar realm, they could obtain the complete Godfiend body formula! Furthermore, they would obtain an Essence Soul mystic technique.
