Chapter 524 The Strongest Experts in the Two Worlds
A snowy day in winter.
On Archean Mountain, Li Guan, Qin Wu, Luo Tang, and Meng Chuan arrived at a bleak and empty grotto-heaven. “In the blink of an eye, I’ve reached the end of my life,” said Li Guan with a smile as he stared at the Millennium Hall in front of him.
Meng Chuan, Qin Wu, and Luo Tang looked at Li Guan.
At that moment, Li Guan looked extremely old. His hair was snow-white, and his face was covered in wrinkles. He was nearing the end of his lifespan, and his age was apparent.
“Senior Brother, you have sacrificed plenty for Archean Mountain and humanity all these years,” said Qin Wu solemnly.
“I was born during humanity’s prosperous times,” said Li Guan with a sigh. “G.o.dfiend sects fought each other, killing one another. I once killed an enemy G.o.dfiend that shocked all parties. After becoming a Supremacy, I wanted to roam the outer realm once I reached the perfected Grotto-Heaven realm. Who knew that the Demon Realm and Archean Eon Realm would get closer and closer to each other? World Entrances even appeared. Therefore, I spent the rest of my life fighting the demons.”
Meng Chuan listened.
“Many G.o.dfiends have risked their lives to guard the World Entrances.” Li Guan had mixed emotions. “In the past 900 years, too many G.o.dfiends have died. Too many names have been left on Blood Red Cliff.”

Meng Chuan, Qin Wu, and Luo Tang fell silent.
It was true that many G.o.dfiends had died because of the war. Many were fellow disciples they were familiar with.
“The situation got worse. I was even prepared to use the Heaven and Earth Great Hall and unleash World Annihilation. Although that will stop the demons, our generation of G.o.dfiends will become the sinners of humanity. Even if we save the world, we won’t be able to wash away our sins.” Li Guan looked at Meng Chuan. “Thankfully, a miracle appeared after 900 years.”
Luo Tang nodded and looked over. “Thankfully, Meng Chuan appeared.”
“Therefore, I think it was a very wise decision for me to let him enter the Archean Eon Grotto-Heaven,” said Qin Wu with a smile.
“Hahaha…” Li Guan, Luo Tang, and Meng Chuan laughed.
If he hadn’t entered Archean Eon Grotto-Heaven and obtained the Cosmos Body cultivation system legacy, Meng Chuan wouldn’t have been able to wipe out one million demon monarchs alone. Even if he gained enough strength to reverse the situation later, many more humans would have died. The situation would’ve been much worse.
“I don’t have any regrets in my life.” Li Guan’s old face was very calm. “Now that I’m nearing the end of my lifespan, I only have one final dream. I want to see us humans finally winning this war. I haven’t slept for 1,000 years, so I can still continue sleeping… When we emerge victorious in the war, wake me up. I’ll have no regrets after seeing our victory and celebrating,” said Li Guan with a smile.
“Senior Brother, you will definitely see it,” said Qin Wu.
“We will definitely win,” said Meng Chuan.
Li Guan nodded slightly and walked towards Millennium Hall…
Grotto-Heaven Pavilion.
Meng Chuan, Qin Wu, and Luo Tang sat down.
“Meng An is also a Supremacy. He should have been here to send Senior Brother Li off,” said Qin Wu.
“That kid became even busier after becoming a Supremacy.” Meng Chuan shook his head. “It should be Ancestral Master Archean Eon’s legacy. He obtained the core legacy. Ancestral Master Archean Eon made arrangements for every stage of Meng An’s cultivation. He went into seclusion again, and who knows how long he will be in seclusion.”
Luo Tang and Qin Wu nodded. “Yes.”
Back then, the demons had sent a large number of fifth Firmament demon monarchs into the World Gap. They then infiltrated the human world, but Meng Chuan had wiped out all of them. That battle had completely established Meng Chuan’s status as the strongest person in the world.
About 20 years after that battle, Meng An became a Supremacy. Doing the math… It had only been slightly more than ten years since he became a Supremacy.
After becoming a Supremacy, Meng An became even more mysterious. He would occasionally disappear for a few years.
“Meng Chuan,” said Qin Wu seriously, “are you sure your family doesn’t want to take over the Great Zhou Dynasty’s throne? According to the rules, the Li family should be abdicating and pa.s.sing it to your Meng family.”
Luo Tang looked at Meng Chuan. “Senior Brother Li is only one year away from his death. The Li family will soon abdicate. The entire family clan will migrate out of the imperial capital.”
“There’s no need.” Meng Chuan shook his head and said, “I think it’ll be good if the Great Zhou Dynasty doesn’t have an imperial family. The Imperial Court’s cabinet can manage the secular world, while the sect supervises the rest. There’s no need for an additional imperial family.”
Most importantly, Meng Chuan didn’t see anyone suitable to be an emperor in the Meng family. Meng An and himself were focused on cultivation.
Meng An had always been single. Even with Yan Jin’s cold personality, he married and had children after he was 100 years old. His son, Meng An, remained single the entire time. This vexed Meng Chuan.
His daughter, Meng You, and Yang Cheng had generations of descendants… However, they were considered part of the Yang family. They weren’t surnamed Meng, so they naturally couldn’t be counted. The Meng family’s original members? They had a distant relations.h.i.+p with Meng Chuan. Furthermore, if one wanted to be an emperor, one had to condense an Essence Soul and reach the Darkstar realm at the very least. Meng Chuan also hoped that his descendants would be more simple and humble. Therefore, he decided that the Great Zhou Dynasty would not have an imperial family. Meng Chuan felt that it wasn’t a bad choice.
“Alright, Archean Mountain is under your control now. According to the rules, this throne belongs to your Meng family. Since you have given up on it, it’s up to you,” said Qin Wu with a smile.
Archean Mountain’s leader, the strongest person in the world, and an Imperial Lord…
This was Meng Chuan’s current status.
Although Meng Chuan only had Essence Soul avatars outside and never admitted that he had become an Imperial Lord, he was able to reach Archean Eon Realm’s Four Seas instantly. He had also captured many fifth Firmament demon monarchs all those years ago. He could travel tens of thousands of kilometers in an instant. Unless one comprehended a paramount technique and broke free of the worldly law’s suppression, only Heaven Earth realm experts could travel so quickly. In addition, Meng Chuan had a seventh-level Essence Soul.
As an expert that had reached the Heaven Earth realm and had a seventh-level Essence Soul, he naturally had the strength of an Imperial Lord.
Regardless of whether Meng Chuan had broken through, his Imperial Lord-level strength was unquestionable.
Meng Chuan’s strength, status, and his ability to fend off demons made all the G.o.dfiends in the world accept him wholeheartedly. He was the strongest G.o.dfiend in the world, the supreme leader of G.o.dfiends.
“You’ve been roaming the outer realm for over 40 years,” said Luo Tang worriedly. “There are now a total of nine super-large city pa.s.ses. The World Entrances are still slowly expanding. I wonder if a demon sage-level pa.s.sageway will appear.” “Even if n.o.body guards the super-large city pa.s.ses, would the demons dare enter?” Qin Wu smiled. “The demons have long been scared out of their wits.”
Meng Chuan could instantly arrive anywhere in Archean Eon Realm.
This caused the demons to stop invading completely. Not many demons entered the unstable World Entrances either.
No fifth Firmament demon monarch was willing to attack a super-large city pa.s.s! This was because Meng Chuan would kill or capture them alive if they dared to appear.
Luo Tang couldn’t help but ask, “Meng Chuan, are you confident in guarding the world if a demon sage-level pa.s.sageway appears?”
“Don’t worry. Leave it to me,” said Meng Chuan with a smile.
Meng Chuan didn’t say much. After broadening his horizons in the outer realm, he also understood that if the demons nurtured a Heaven Earth Supremacy at all costs, it would bring him some trouble. After all, the Demon Realm’s heritage was rather rich.
Of course, it would just be a little troublesome. Meng Chuan believed that he could blaze through all Supremacies. The only problem was that his Essence Soul avatars in Archean Eon Realm were much weaker than his true body in the outer realm.
Eight Essence Soul avatars will attack together. If I’m forced into a corner, my true body that is in Heaven and Earth Great Hall will also enter the battlefield.
This war had to be won.
While Li Guan was slumbering, Emperor Roc’s two true bodies-one in the outer realm and the other in his homeworld—welcomed the second Physical Body Tribulation.
The Tribulation realm’s Heavenly Tribulations were unavoidable. No matter where one hid, they couldn’t escape from it. Although the worlds that supported life specially protected the weak, Heavenly Tribulations would still descend upon a Tribulation Eminence even if they hid in their homeworld.
Humph.
In the cave abode’s chamber, a Golden-Winged Roc lowered its wings. Its sharp claws grabbed the ground, and the golden light on its wings was dazzling. However, the dazzling golden light entangled many black threads. Countless black threads constantly seeped into the golden-winged Roc’s body, causing it to tremble in pain. Its wings instinctively wrapped around it.
Emperor Roc had the Golden-Winged Roc bloodline, and his body was extremely powerful. He had the strength to match a Third Tribulation Eminence when he just reached the Tribulation realm. However, due to his powerful body, the first three tribulations came very quickly.
According to the demons’ experience, after those with the Golden-Winged Roc bloodline reached the Tribulation realm, they would experience three tribulations within 100 years! However, because they weren’t real Golden-Winged Rocs, they might fail to transcend the tribulations.
Suddenly
The Golden-Winged Roc let out a deep roar as it spread its wings. Countless black threads were forcefully expelled from its body. After being expelled, the black threads turned into nothingness and vanished from the world.
The Golden-Winged Roc transformed into Emperor Roc.
It’s a success. Emperor Roc was somewhat exhausted. He felt his body slowly transform as the demonic power in his body also transformed. I’ve already undergone two tribulations in just two years. However, I estimate that the third tribulation will come in a few decades. This estimation was based on the experiences of other demons with the Golden-Winged Roc bloodline.
It’s about time. I have to make every second count and kill Meng Chuan as soon as possible.
Meanwhile, Emperor Roc’s true body in the outer realm silently transcended the second tribulation on one of Three Bay River System’s barren planets.
Swoosh.
A golden beam of light shot up from the barren planet.
As he reached a higher realm, he naturally grasped many more means, like karma. Meng Chuan could already sense the obvious karma. As for Tribulation Eminences, they could clearly sense the karma threads that entangled them.
Emperor Roc and Meng Chuan.
One was the Demon Realm’s strongest expert, while the other was Archean Eon Realm’s strongest expert.
The war between the two worlds had been raging for many years, so the karma between Meng Chuan and Emperor Roc grew thicker. Although he found it difficult to determine Meng Chuan’s exact location, he could follow the karmic threads and chase after him. The closer he was, the clearer Meng Chuan’s location would be.
Meng Chuan, I’m coming. Emperor Roc’s true body in the outer realm had already entered the River of s.p.a.cetime and headed straight for the Ancient Magus River Zone.
