Chapter 441 Nine Samsara Tempering of the Heart
A spear very suddenly arrived in front of Meng Chuan without any warning.
Pfft.
Meng Chuan stood rooted to the ground as he extended his fingertip and tapped the tip of the spear. The strange force on the spear tip was completely neutralized.
Meng An didn’t hesitate to retract his spear and strike again. Instantly, spear shadows filled the sky as Meng An attacked frantically, his spear techniques unpredictable and fast.
Some spear shadows seemed to come from the wind! They were fast and ethereal. Some spear shadows seemed to come from the fire! They were violent and ferocious. Some spear shadows seemed to come from the water! They were mild and bizarre…
These spear techniques complemented each other. Each attack chained with the next relentlessly, perfectly utilizing the techniques’ speed and variations to its fullest. Although each strike was at the level of an ordinary Regis G.o.dfiend, ordinary Regis G.o.dfiendswho had weaker defensive means-might very well suffer. However, Meng Chuan easily blocked each attack with his finger. In terms of variability, Meng Chuan far surpa.s.sed Meng An. How could Meng Anwho had just reached the Realm of Daocompare with the Cloud Dragon Snake Saber Art, which was at the peak of the Dharma Domain realm?
In terms of speed, how could he compete with the fastest person in the world, Meng Chuan?
Therefore, Meng Chuan easily tapped the spear tip with his finger every single time.
Blocking my spear art with just a finger? Meng An felt the huge gap between them. The spear art he was proud of was too weak in front of his father.
Boom!
Meng An was very proud. He wanted his father to acknowledge his strength, so he instantly executed his ultimate technique.
The spear’s might and speed increased exponentially.
Again, Meng Chuan easily blocked it with his finger, but he was somewhat surprised by the attack. “This move has the strength of a top Regis G.o.dfiend. Not bad!”
Back then, only after he became a Marquis G.o.dfiend for a few years, cultivated an Undying Body, had his frost baneful aura domain and Heaven’s Wrath—his divine power — did his overall strength barely reach the standards of a top Regis G.o.dfiend.
For his son to unleash such strength shortly after becoming a Marquis G.o.dfiend, his son was indeed much stronger than he was back then.
Swoosh.
Meng An retracted his spear and looked at his father. He said, “Dad, you easily cracked my ultimate technique. There’s no need for me to continue attacking. Dad, my spear arts are quite good at defense. Dad, please attack. I’ll defend.”
As he spoke, the void around Meng An distorted. A five-colored light filled the area. Meng An held his spear and looked at his father.
“Alright, I’ll attack. You defend.” Meng Chuan smiled and gently stretched out his finger.
A beam of light shot out from his fingertip; it had a terrifying might.
The five-colored domain distorted as it blocked the light beam. The light beam gradually weakened as it flew closer towards Meng An.
Meng An also executed his spear art. His spear spun as it swept through the beam like a tidal wave, completely blocking it. With a boom, the beam collided with Meng An, causing him to stagger three steps back. However, he remained unharmed.
“It’s not bad that you can block a top Regis G.o.dfiend’s attack head-on,” praised Meng Chuan. “The next move will have the strength of a peak Regis G.o.dfiend.”
Another light beam shot out from Meng Chuan’s fingertip.
The light beam’s aura was terrifying.
In an instant, it pierced through the five-colored domain.
How fast. Meng An used his spear in an attempt to block the light beam, but the beam of light was so fast that it moved in a bizarre way. It actually brushed past Meng An’s spear shaft and headed straight for his head.
What? Meng An panicked.
As the beam approached Meng An, it grazed past his ear, leaving a b.l.o.o.d.y mark.
Meng An heaved a sigh of relief.
“It isn’t just strength that separates a top Regis G.o.dfiend and a peak Regis G.o.dfiend. The difference in combat prowess is also to do with one’s technique realm,” said Meng Chuan. “A peak Regis G.o.dfiend’s techniques are even more profound than that of an ordinary Regis G.o.dfiend. With your current spear skills, it’s naturally more than enough for you to fight an ordinary Regis G.o.dfiend. You might even gain the upper hand against them. However, if you encounter a top Regis G.o.dfiend, you will be at a disadvantage. If you encounter a peak Regis G.o.dfiend, you won’t be able to fight back at
all.”
“I understand,” said Meng An respectfully before looking at Meng Chuan expectantly. “What if I encounter a Creation realm expert?”
“A Creation realm expert?” Meng Chuan smiled.
Whoosh.
From a distance, Meng Chuan suddenly appeared in front of Meng An. He tapped Meng An’s glabella with his fingertip.
“Ah.” Meng An was shocked.
“You have just encountered a Creation realm expert,” said Meng Chuan with a smile. “You won’t even know how you died.”
Meng Chuan only had the strength of an ordinary Creation realm expert if he didn’t use a Tribulation treasure or his divine powerslike flowing Sand and Heaven Earth Control.
Meng An found it unbelievable. “Dad, I clearly didn’t even see you move with my Samsara Domain and Darkstar Domain, but you were already in front of me. You’re too fast.” “To a Creation realm expert, this bit of speed can only give them a slight advantage,” said Meng Chuan. In front of his son, he only showcased a speed of 30 kilometers per second. This speed was only slightly superior to a Creation realm expert. Of course, his true speed was 500 kilometers per second. It was also his greatest strength when he fought in the World Gap.
There was no need to show his son his true speed.
“In the past few years on the mountain, I fought Archean Mountain Lord and Elder Yi once.” Meng An looked at his father excitedly. “But, I was only slightly disadvantaged.” “Mountain Lord and Elder Yi aren’t peak Regis G.o.dfiends,” explained Meng Chuan. “Also, they are busy. Don’t disturb them unnecessarily.”
“I understand.” Meng An nodded.
Liu Qiyue and Meng You walked over.
Liu Qiyue smiled and said, “An’er, do you understand what you’re lacking now?” “Yes.” Meng An nodded. “I was proud of my spear arts. I originally thought my defense was powerful, but now, I’ve discovered too many flaws.”
“Your father is the strongest Regis G.o.dfiend in the world when it comes to defense,” said Liu Qiyue with a smile.
“Dad, how should I perfect my defensive means?” asked Meng An.
Meng Chuan smiled as he looked at his son. “There are two main things you should focus on. Firstly, you should improve your spear art technique realm. The higher your technique realm is, the stronger your defense will be. Secondly, learn some special defensive means such as domains, movement techniques, or even special mystic techniques.
“Take me for example,” continued Meng Chuan, “I’m the fastest person in the world. If I want to escape, Creation Supremacies and demon sages won’t be able to catch up. This is just one of my life-preservation means. I can also stand still and allow the enemy to attack me, but they will have to shatter the void to touch me. I also have defensive divine powers and a powerful body. Apart from these two things, your Essence Soul is also very important. In a life-and-death battle, the enemy will focus on attacking your flaws. If your Essence Soul is weak, the enemy will directly kill you with an Essence Soul mystic technique. No matter how high your technique realm is, it’ll be useless against Essence Soul mystic techniques.”
“Essence Soul?” Meng An nodded slightly. “Sparring is one thing, but a life-and-death battle is another matter,” said Meng Chuan. “Either you don’t have any shortcomings, or you have to be careful and keep them a secret. Once they are exposed, and your weaknesses are targeted, you will die.” Meng Chuan smiled at his son. “You have just been conferred the t.i.tle of Marquis. The human world is now considered peaceful. Cultivate well and make up for your shortcomings. Make yourself stronger.”
Meng An nodded. “I will.” His initial pride had been completely crushed by his father. He could sense the huge strength difference between them. His father had only cultivated about 30 years longer than him, but the gap between them was already this huge.
“Cultivate diligently.” Meng Chuan looked at his son. “Even I am considered very weak on this path of cultivation. I haven’t even reached the minimum threshold to enter the River of s.p.a.cetime. Work hard. More World Entrances will appear in the future. All of you will have to guard them together.” Even if he could resolve the threat of the World Gap, as more and more World Entrances appeared, humanity needed enough G.o.dfiends to guard the World Entrances.
“I will guard a city like Dad and Mom,” said Meng An.
“Remember, you have to pay attention to your Essence Soul,” reminded Meng Chuan.
Meng An nodded. “Understood.”
No wonder… It was no wonder Ancestral Master Archean Eon had such high expectations on one’s Essence Soul. It’s no wonder Ancestral Master Archean Eon made me experience the Nine Samsara Tempering of the Heart. Are the Nine Samsaras really just an illusion? Meng An thought to himself. But everything is so real. I remember those people and matters clearly.
