Chapter 337 King Calm Sea’s Reply
Ever since he returned from the World Gap, Meng Chuan had drawn upon the knowledge contained in many of the lightning lineage ultimate techniques in history. He had attempted to create two ultimate techniques —the Infinite Saber and the Cloud Dragon Snake Movement Technique. The Cloud Dragon Snake Movement Technique was in its nascent form.
Of course, the Cloud Dragon Snake Movement Technique could also be used as a saber art. After all, it used the World Roving Dragon Saber as its foundation. He successfully fused the Yin-Yang Form of Lightning’s essence into it and pushed his movement technique to brand new heights by building upon the foundation of his predecessors. However, this movement technique didn’t have any advantage in pure speed. Its speed was only comparable to the World Roving Dragon Saber.
Whoosh.
Under the night sky, Meng Chuan landed in the courtyard. With a flip of his hand, he held Demon Slayer and began to cultivate his other ultimate technique, Infinite Saber.
He unsheathed his saber and transformed into a bolt of lightning. Like lightning, he sliced through the void.
Fast!
If one were to say that the Heart Intent Saber emphasized the profundity of Yin-Yang Fusion, then the Infinite Saber focused on pure strength and speed! Demon Slayer forcefully sliced through the void at speeds so fast that it left one alarmed.
The Infinite Saber is more important to me. I hope I can push it to the Dharma Domain realm first. Meng Chuan spent most of his time and energy cultivating the Infinite Saber, leaving the rest of his time for the Cloud Dragon Snake Movement Technique. This was because Meng Chuan had figured out a flying technique-Lightning Escape Technique—when he was cultivating the Infinite Saber Art!
The Lightning Escape Technique originated from the Infinite Saber. When his body transformed into a saber beam, he tore through the air like lightning… He could travel 15 kilometers in a second. He was actually faster than when he executed the World Roving Dragon Saber Art.
I can kill even more demon monarchs during my underground reconnaissance. The faster I am, the greater the power of my Infinite Saber. Meng Chuan naturally placed greater importance on the Infinite Saber. In fact, there had been many experts in human history that had created ultimate techniques in line with the Flash Form of Lightning’s essence. They were famous for their speed, but they had only reached the Dharma Domain realm. None of them had reached the Grotto-Heaven realm.
After looking at the techniques created in the past—which are similar to the Flash Form of Lightning’s essence—I know that they all focus on increasing one’s speed. However, when one’s speed reaches a certain level, they will be suppressed by the world. Meng Chuan sheathed his saber and pondered.
People from the past believed that one has to break through the shackles of the world to reach the Grotto-Heaven realm. However, no one in history has managed to do so. Can one really deal so much damage to the world when their speed reaches a certain level, causing them to be suppressed by the world? Meng Chuan guessed.
No rush. My speed has yet to be affected by the world’s suppression. I’m clearly not fast enough. Meng Chuan mocked himself before he drew his saber again.
After returning from the World Gap, Meng Chuan had been cultivating with all his might. It was because he had seen too many things. The demon monarchs attacked the cities again and again. In fact, a fourth Firmament demon monarch team lurked in the shadows whenever ordinary demon monarchs attacked the cities. When they discovered that Marquis G.o.dfiends were guarding a city, a fourth Firmament demon monarch team would swoop down from the sky and a.s.sa.s.sinate the Marquis G.o.dfiends! Even fifth Firmament demon monarchs were ambus.h.i.+ng the G.o.dfiends.
Although the humans had means to deal with the demon monarchs, Archean Mountain had already lost five Marquis G.o.dfiends after all these city attacks! Seven of Black Sand Grotto-Heaven’s Marquis G.o.dfiends had died. Although the demons had suffered greater losses, the G.o.dfiends that died couldn’t be revived.
“Ah Chuan.” When dawn broke, Liu Qiyue walked out of the room after waking up. She walked over and looked at her husband with a pained expression. “You have to rest well. Don’t work so hard. Perhaps resting more will help your cultivation.”
“Don’t worry. I know my body well.” Meng Chuan looked at his wife. The sweat on his body naturally evaporated. “I have a feeling that I’m advancing every day. I’m getting closer and closer to the Dharma Domain realm. Furthermore, I can’t stop when I think of how patrolling G.o.dfiends could be dying in battle every day. How long has it been? Yet nearly 30% of the patrolling G.o.dfiends have already died in battle.
The three sects tried their best; for example, Earth Net’s reconnaissance. Avian demon monarchs would scan the area ahead of time. The patrolling G.o.dfiends also brought demon monarch servants with them. However, as long as a battle erupted, there would ultimately be accidents. The demons were also very cunning.
Over the past two years, nearly 30% of the patrolling G.o.dfiends had died in battle.
“Yes.” Liu Qiyue nodded gently and didn’t say anything else.
In the courtyard.
Yan Jin and Xue Feng were sparring.
Snow Drift.
Sword beams rained down on Xue Feng like snowflakes in the void. However, Xue Feng held his sword in one hand and blocked every snowflake.
Yan Jin landed on the ground and revealed a look of delight.
“Seventh Brother, you’ve finally mastered Snow Drift,” said Xue Feng with a smile. “Just this move alone gives you the strength of a top Marquis G.o.dfiend.” “Not worth mentioning.” Yan Jin spoke a little more. After all, the human heart remained soft. After spending more than two years together, Yan Jin could sense his brother’s concern for him. The relations.h.i.+p between the two brothers had improved significantly. In fact, Yan Jin was only cold on the outside. In the past, he was resistant towards Xue Feng because of the Xue family. As time pa.s.sed, changes were natural. I only have the strength of a top Marquis G.o.dfiend even after obtaining the Myriad Sword Sect’s legacy and having my brother’s help? When can I get close to him? Yan Jin’s eyes turned colder when he thought of King Calm Sea and his dead mother.
“I’ll head back first,” said Yan Jin before turning to leave.
Sigh… Xue Feng wanted to say something, but he shut his mouth. This seventh brother of mine has always had a knot in his heart. It’s not his fault. Father does have to bear most of the responsibility. Xue Feng had been admitted to Archean Mountain at the age of 13, so he didn’t know what his brother had experienced. Later, he sent someone to investigate before finding out what his brother had experienced. This made him feel some resentment towards his father.
Father, even if you are focused on guarding the city pa.s.s and cultivating, don’t you care about your children at all? Back then, he felt like he was in h.e.l.l. Despite his despair, you still allowed everything to happen? Seventh Brother only wants justice. So what if you admit your mistake and give his mother the name she rightfully deserves? Xue Feng couldn’t understand his father.
That night.
Xue Feng couldn’t help but write a letter. Since Father left a sword mark on Seventh Brother, he definitely doesn’t have a heart of steel. Xue Feng wrote the letter, his eyes filled with antic.i.p.ation.
Duyang City. King Calm Sea temporarily guarded this place. He had returned from the World Gap a year ago. His life-preservation means were a little weaker in the World Gap! When he was roaming the World Gap with King True Martial, he had experienced many harrowing instances. King True Martial had to risk his life to protect him. With his pride, he left the World Gap. He was replaced with a stronger Regis G.o.dfiend, Peng Mu, who reigned supreme 1,000 years ago. Including the ancient G.o.dfiends who had awakened, the Archean Mountain G.o.dfiend closest to King True Martial in strength was Peng Mu. In the early days, Archean Mountain had allowed King Calm Sea to explore the World Gap and see the birth of the world for the betterment of his cultivation.
Swoosh.
King Calm Sea sat cross-legged in a courtyard of Duyang City. Suddenly, an avian demon monarch flew over. It threw a letter at King Calm Sea before leaving.
King Calm Sea reached out to receive it.
Feng’er’s letter? King Calm Sea was somewhat astonished. Among his many children, he was most satisfied with Xue Feng. Furthermore, he knew that after Xue Feng became a Regis G.o.dfiend, he would directly join Black Sand Grotto-Heaven and receive the Black Sand lineage’s nurturing.
When King Calm Sea opened the letter, his expression turned gloomy. His eyes turned sharper.
Humph.
King Calm Sea snorted coldly. He clenched the letter in his hand and reduced it to dust.
A day later, while Xue Feng was reading a dossier in his study at night, he saw the letter sent by the avian demon monarch envoy. Father replied? Xue Feng was somewhat nervous and expectant.
I hope Father will stop being so stubborn. It will be our Xue family’s blessing. Xue Feng opened the envelope and unfolded the letter. He nervously looked at the letter’s content, and the color in his face drained.
There was only one sentence on the letter”Defeat me before questioning me.”
