Archean Eon Art

Chapter 439 Eight Years

In the pool, King Calm Sea-who was sitting cross-legged-became increasingly transparent. Endless frost energy gathered within him. King Calm Sea’s expression was warped; his eyes were filled with madness.

Li Guan, Qin Wu, Luo Tang, and Meng Chuan watched nervously. “The first day of the life modification process is the most dangerous. On the first day, his life essence will be completely transformed. The remaining two days are for him to give birth to an ice lifeform,” said Li Guan nervously. “As long as he survives the first day, it will be considered a success.”

“Although King Calm Sea has lost his way, his willpower is extremely astonishing,” said Luo Tang. “He should be able to survive.”

The life modification process was extremely painful.

Even one’s Essence Soul would completely melt into the ice body. If King Calm Sea’s consciousness collapsed during this process, he would die completely.

Time slowly passed.

Meng Chuan and company waited by the side for a full day. They still hoped for another combat force to appear in the human world.

Finally, the terrifying frost energies in the pool completely fused with King Calm Sea’s body. A huge ice block appeared, and a human figure could be vaguely seen sitting cross-legged inside. The look in the human figure’s eyes gradually calmed down.

“He survived. Next, he’ll give birth to an ice body.” Li Guan heaved a sigh of relief.

“Xue Ting can live for a few more centuries. I hope he can redeem himself in the World Gap in the future,” said Qin Wu. Qin Wu was somewhat angry and disappointed about this disciple of his.

“Everyone, I don’t think it’s appropriate to announce Xue Ting’s matter to the public.” Li Guan looked at the three people around him.

Luo Tang nodded and said, “I also agree about not announcing it. This matter has terrible implications if word gets out. However, Xue Ting is about to head to the World Gap. Should the few Regis Godfiends in the World Gap be informed?”

“In the future, they might have to cooperate with King Calm Sea. It’s best to inform them. It’s fine if King True Martial, Dao Protector, and the others know,” said Li Guan.

“They should be informed,” said Qin Wu.

“I’ll tell them,” said Meng Chuan.

Li Guan nodded slightly before looking at the pool and saying, “He still needs two more days before the life modification process is completed. Let’s leave first. The guardian is guarding this place. There’s no need to worry about anything.” Soon, Meng Chuan and company left and returned to their residences to cultivate.

Two days later.

Li Guan, Qin Wu, Luo Tang, and Meng Chuan arrived again. They watched as the huge ice block in the pool began to melt.

Whoosh.

The ice around King Calm Sea’s body completely melted as he absorbed it into his body.

At that moment, King Calm Sea’s body seemed to have been carved into a dark-cyan ice sculpture. He stood up and closed his eyes as he assessed the completely different power in his body. Finally, he slowly opened his eyes, filled with excitement.

He now had overwhelming power!

“Thank you, Supremacies. Thank you, Master. Thank you, King Eastcalm.” King Calm Sea walked out of the pool and bowed. “You gave me a chance to continue slaying demons.”

“Humph.” Qin Wu grunted angrily. “If it weren’t for the war, you would have long been executed. Redeem yourself well in the future.”

“Yes,” replied King Calm Sea obediently without feeling vexed.

“I can sense that my body’s strength and speed far exceeds the past,” said King Calm Sea. “Supremacies, Master, please give me some pointers. How can I unleash the full strength of this body?”

“There are pros and cons to a modified lifeform. Although you can’t reach the Creation realm, you have an ice body,” said Li Guan. “You don’t have an Essence Soul, but that makes you invulnerable to any Essence Soul mystic technique. Essence Soul mystic techniques are completely useless against you.”

Meng Chuan listened from the side. He knew a lot of secrets, so he also understood that there were many strange lifeforms in the outer realm.

Some lifeforms were completely unafraid of Essence Soul mystic techniques. Some strange, special lifeforms were completely different. They were most afraid of Essence Soul mystic techniques, but any world-annihilative attacks would completely fail to work on them.

Everything had its vanquisher. To be invincible, one had to cultivate to an unimaginable realm. For example, a Sixth Tribulation Eminence or a Seventh Tribulation Eminence could be described as being capable of easily killing countless strange lifeforms.

“Although your ice body is powerful and can be restored after suffering some damage, you will die once it’s shattered,” said Li Guan. “Don’t rely on your powerful body to resist an enemy’s attacks. As for how you should fight? There are only two things an ice lifeform is good at. First, their bodies have relatively high strength and speed. Secondly, they’re good at using the power of ice. You can slowly figure it out when you reach the World Gap.”

“Yes.” King Calm Sea’s eyes were filled with excitement. He could sense his body’s complete transformation.

The Origins Treasure-Scarlet Cloud Heavenand other items were taken back by Archean Mountain, but some of them were returned to King Calm Sea. After all, he needed to patrol the World Gap for 300 years.

That day, Meng Chuan brought King Calm Sea to the World Gap.

“I’ll be fighting here for the next three centuries.” King Calm Sea landed on the World Gap’s ground as his battle intent surged. Endless frost energy was released, causing the surroundings to freeze.

King Calm Sea instantly brandished his sword and slashed at his palm. The palm-formed from the dark-cyan ice—was extremely hard. The terrifying strike only produced a white mark, but the frost energy quickly gathered and healed the wound.

King Calm Sea’s attacks have greatly increased in strength and speed. Previously, he only had the strength of an ordinary Creation realm expert. He now has the strength of a top Creation realm expert, yet his strike only caused a crack to appear on his palm. An ice lifeform’s body is indeed powerful.

King Calm Sea’s ice body was both his greatest advantage, and his only fatal weakness.

“Very good.” King Calm Sea felt the might of the strike and looked at his palm. He was even more satisfied with his new body.

He colluded with the demons because he wanted to learn powerful formulas to increase his strength. After undergoing the life modification process, his strength had increased, making him more confident in killing the demons. “I’m to patrol and fight in the World Gap for 300 years. During this period, I’m not allowed to return to the human world.” King Calm Sea looked at Meng Chuan beside him. “It’s a punishment for others, but it’s a reward for me.”

“Then enjoy it.” Meng Chuan brought King Calm Sea to meet King True Martial and company.

King Calm Sea looked forward to slaying demons. Meng Chuan, King True Martial, and company were also prepared to deal with demons. However, no fifth Firmament demon monarchs entered the World Gap.

In the blink of an eye, eight years had passed since Meng Chuan and company began their mission in the World Gap. Apart from killing some fifth Firmament demon monarchs on the first day, the rest of the days were very peaceful. They spent almost all their time cultivating. Huh? Meng Chuan took out his token and looked around. King True Martial, Peng Mu, Yun Jianhai, and King Calm Sea were all immersed in their cultivation.Whoosh.

He summoned Dao Protector Wang Shan from his Grotto-Heaven treasure.

“Senior Brother Wang,” said Meng Chuan. “Archean Mountain has summoned me. I’ll head back first.”

“Oh?” The Dao Protector was astonished. He looked around and smiled. “It looks like you were the only one summoned. Go. If King True Martial asks, I’ll tell them.”

Meng Chuan nodded and silently returned to the human world without disturbing his companions.

After tearing through the world membrane, Meng Chuan returned to Archean Mountain. Only an illusory Qin Wu was waiting at the top of the nameless mountain.

“Master, why did you suddenly summon me? Is there something important?” asked Meng Chuan.

Qin Wu smiled and said, “Your son, Meng An, has broken through to the Darkstar realm, becoming a Marquis Godfiend.”
