Archean Eon Art

Chapter 120: Nine Mystical Caves Test

Meng Chuan calmly stood still and said, “Use any moves you have. This time, I will kill you!”

“Humph, you sure talk big.” The white-robed wolf demon casually threw the scroll away with a ferocious look on his face. “Human punk, you managed to escape seven times, but you won’t escape this time.”

As soon as it finished speaking, the white-robed wolf demon roared—

Boom!

Black winds swept over. Instantly, sand and gravel flew. Some rocks on the ground were reduced to dust by the black wind. Meng Chuan calmly watched the black wind envelop him. Hidden within the black wind were countless specks of starlight that sliced through everything. If a newly-advanced Godfiend encountered the black wind, they would instantly be “blown” to dust.

Even ordinary Indestructible Godfiends would be severely injured by the black wind. They would be reduced to powder after ten seconds in the wind.

Chi! Chi! Chi! Chi!

Meng Chuan stood where he was. His Quintessential Essence armor was three feet thick, protecting him from the violent wind. No matter how long the black wind attacked him, it didn’t chip his Quintessential Essence armor at all. Large amounts of Quintessential Essence Threads formed the barrier, enabling it to withstand insane shearing forces. Even ten thousand thick ropes combined together would be unable to do what his barrier did. Meng Chuan had once envied Demon Monarch Poison Pool’s protective black fog, but his barrier was now ten times stronger than Poison Pool’s black fog.

Why were they called Indestructible Godfiends? That was because, as an Indestructible Godfiend, their Quintessential Essence had undergone another qualitative change. Every sliver of Quintessential Essence was sharp and resilient! Countless Quintessential Essence threads could form a powerful protective barrier. For a newly-advanced Godfiend, mortals could use various methods to kill them. However, at the Indestructible realm, no mortal posed a threat.

Although Meng Chuan was still stuck at the Indestructible realm, his perfected Lightning Devastator Fiend Body and Quintessential Essence could suppress an average Great Solar Godfiend.

“Come on.” Meng Chuan carefully stared at the wolf demon. He had fought the wolf demon seven times and knew its strength very well.

It was a third Firmament demon monarch that had cultivated for many years! The four demon monarchs that had invaded Eastcalm Prefecture several years ago might not be able to defeat this wolf demon even if they attacked collectively.

Roar! The wolf demon’s eyes were filled with killing intent. It had only used the black wind to affect the human’s speed. After all, Meng Chuan had successfully escaped from him seven times.

Swoosh.

In a flash, the wolf demon charged 1000 thousand feet within the black wind. Its claw swiped towards Meng Chuan, trying to tear him apart. It had struck out with terrifying speed.

Meng Chuan’s Quintessential Essence barrier could block second Firmament demon monarchs’ relentless attacks, but he didn’t dare risk taking the wolf demon’s claw head-on.

Clang!

Meng Chuan remained rooted to the ground. Without any warning, he drew his saber and blocked the claw.

The sharp claw was fast, but Meng Chuan’s saber was even faster! Meng Chuan moved so fast that the saber-drawing process couldn’t even be seen. All the wolf demon could see was that the saber had blocked its attack.

How can he be so fast? The wolf demon couldn’t believe it. It was a third Firmament demon monarch that was extremely fast. Its exquisite claw arts had reached the Realm of Soul. Due to its high realm, its claws’ speed was even faster than Meng Chuan’s saber. Its strength had always suppressed Meng Chuan completely! But, Meng Chuan’s most recent saber-drawing left it alarmed.

Impossible. The killing intent in the wolf demon’s heart intensified. It did not hesitate to attack dozens of times. Instantly, dozens of claw shadows appeared.

The wolf demon couldn’t see Meng Chuan moving his saber. All it saw was the saber appearing to block its claws wherever it was needed.

Clang! Clang! Clang! A series of collisions between Meng Chuan’s saber and the wolf demon’s claws could be heard. Every single attack was blocked, and yet, Meng Chuan didn’t take a single step.

After reaching the Saber Soul realm, Meng Chuan’s explosive speed was elevated to new heights. He cultivated the Heart Intent Saber Art, and his exquisite saber art suppressed his opponent. His speed completely overwhelmed his opponent.

“Do you still have any other moves?” asked Meng Chuan as he calmly stood still.

“How arrogant. You didn’t even use your lightning and baneful aura? You are allowing me to attack you?” The wolf demon went crazy. “You will regret your arrogance.” Its eyes turned blood-red immediately. Clearly, it had gone berserk after casting a forbidden Godfiend spell.

Meng Chuan remained very calm.

If it were a true life-and-death battle, he wouldn’t have let the other party unleash their full power. Instead, he would think of a way to make the other party incapable of using their strength before quickly killing his opponent.

However, this was the Nine Mystical Caves test! Even if the wolf demon had the chance to tear out his throat, an invisible force would stop it before it succeeded.

The wolf demon was a puppet controlled by Archean Mountain, but it didn’t know that. Instead, Meng Chuan cherished the opportunity to fight with the demon monarch. If he made a mistake during a fight after leaving the mountain, he would pay a huge price for his mistake.

Roar!

The wolf demon’s body began to redden. As it controlled the black wind to trap Meng Chuan, it attacked Meng Chuan frenziedly. Its figure blurred as it instantly appeared in multiple directions.

Meng Chuan shook his head gently as a saber beam easily blocked an attack.

When his saber art realm was lower, the third Firmament demon monarch—that was extremely fast—prevented him from demonstrating his speed advantage. However, after he achieved Saber Soul, their roles had reversed! The wolf demon was unable to fight back when it encountered an expert that was faster than them.

This third Firmament demon monarch no longer poses any threat. Meng Chuan’s body blurred as he easily dodged the wolf demon monarch’s attack.

Attack!

A saber beam flashed, pierced through the wolf demon’s glabella and its head.

The wolf demon monarch immediately stopped moving. Without its control, the black wind dissipated as well. The wolf demon monarch stood rooted to the ground as it looked at the dark red world dazedly. “I remember. I remember.”

At the moment of its death, it was finally liberated from Archean Mountain’s control and regained its consciousness.

The wolf demon monarch remembered. It and the other demon monarchs had attacked a human city pass together. It had successfully torn apart a human Godfiend. It had been thrilled and excited. The demons greatly rewarded them for killing off a human Godfiend! It howled as it charged towards another human Godfiend and their companions. However, when a gray-robed female human walked by, the twelve battling demon monarchs stopped. They all tried to resist, but they were ultimately subdued.

From then on, it was completely controlled by humans.

It didn’t wake up until today.

The wolf demon collapsed weakly, its eyes filled with reminiscence. It thought of its homeworld. There, it was a demon monarch of a territory. It was surrounded by countless lesser demons, and he had a great time feasting.

I really can’t take it lying down. It let out a low growl before its lifeforce was cut off.

The ground silently sank and devoured the wolf demon monarch’s corpse.

Meng Chuan watched the wolf demon’s corpse getting swallowed by the soil and coldly said, “You deserve this outcome.”

He did not have any sympathy for demons, only intense killing intent.

Meng Chuan continued advancing.

The Nine Mystical Caves’ test was to kill all demon monarchs they saw! Once they were all killed, they would pass the test and be qualified to leave the mountain. As long as one of them wasn’t killed, it was considered a failure. They would encounter the same demon monarch the next time they attempted the test.

Archean Mountain had captured many demon monarchs! They were for the disciples to kill.

Meng Chuan had already killed two demon monarchs in Nine Mystical Caves. The first was a second Firmament demon monarch—much stronger than Demon Monarch Poison Pool. The second was the third Firmament demon monarch, Demon Monarch Wolf. He had just been killed.

Oh? After walking for a while in the lonely dark red world, Meng Chuan saw a distant mountain tremble.

The mountain—that towered hundreds of feet—suddenly stood up, transforming into a mountain monster!

A mountain demon? Meng Chuan was alarmed.

There were many kinds of demons. Some were uniquely talented. A demon’s talent was mostly derived from what bloodlines they had. Mountain demons were extremely mighty demons; their strength far exceeded their peers.

Archean Mountain’s seniors treat me really well. They made a rare mountain demon monarch into my grindstone. Meng Chuan became even more cautious.

“Oh, I feel like I’ve slept for a long time.” The mountain demon shook its stony head, but there was a strange mountain mark near his forehead.

Archean Mountain Seal? This is the last demon monarch I have to kill for the Nine Mystical Caves test? Meng Chuan immediately understood. When a mountain mark appeared on the demon’s glabella, it meant that it was the last demon monarch they had to kill during the Nine Mystical Caves test. He could leave the mountain after killing it.

From its aura, it should be a third Firmament demon monarch. However, it can kill the wolf demon monarch with a single slap since it’s a mountain demon.

Just like how those with Phoenix and Dragon bloodlines were peerless geniuses among humans, mountain demons were peerless geniuses among the demons. They were famous for their powerful bodies.

When the mountain demon saw Meng Chuan, a fierce glint flashed in its eyes. Its voice boomed like rumbling thunder. “An Indestructible Godfiend dares to come before me? You have a death wish!”
