Archean Eon Art

Chapter 456 Brush Strokes Infused

After hearing Patriarch Poison Dragon’s explanation, the three Imperial Lords exchanged looks.

“It’s that Meng Chuan again,” said Blackmoon coldly. “His threat level is increasing. To reach such a level after only a few decades of cultivation, it means he can become a Creation Supremacy at any time.”

“The tenth Creation Supremacy of the human race,” said Imperial Lord Starquix. “King True Martial, King Molten, and the others relied on their years of accumulation to have their current strength. They are too old, so it’s impossible for them to breakthrough. However, Meng Chuan is still very young. He is deliberately holding back his breakthrough because he wants to fight in the World Gap. In practice, he’s the tenth Creation Supremacy of the human race.”

Emperor Roc looked down and said, “Can you sense Meng Chuan after he enters the deep void?”

“Only I can sense him,” said Holy Lady Strings respectfully. “I can vaguely sense his location.”

“To have such attainments at such a young age…” Emperor Roc nodded and said, “Considering his age, he will definitely become an invincible Creation realm expert in the future. He might even become an Imperial Lord.”

“It’s not that easy to become an Imperial Lord.” Imperial Lord Starquix shook his head and said, “Human Creation Supremacies are trapped in their homeworld. They don’t dare to enter the outer realm. They’re afraid of being pursued by us. Without the outer realm’s various opportunities, it’s too difficult to become an Imperial Lord.”

However, Lady Blackmoon coldly said, “There’s no need to think too much. The pressing issue now is how we’re going to map the World Gap’s connection points. We need that map of connection points if we want to send fifth Firmament demon monarchs into the human world.”

“My greatest fear is that these Regis Godfiends will be in the way when we’re trying to map the World Gap’s connection points,” said Imperial Lord Starquix. “How are we to stop Meng Chuan if he can enter the deep void?”

“Many defensive arrays can prevent him from entering the void,” said Blackmoon. “Some powerful defensive arrays can greatly reduce the strength of karmic attacks, much less suppressing the void. However, these are immobile defensive arrays. To map the World Gap’s connection points, one will have to travel through the entire World Gap. They can’t hide in a fixed spot.”

Imperial Lord Starquix pondered and said, “The only way is to have the demon monarchs form an array formation and seal the void. Us demons have the Nine Dragon Realm-Sealing Array-which is quite suitable. Normally, nine demon sages are needed to set it up. However, I can modify it slightly and have 99 fifth Firmament demon monarchs set up the array.”

“Let’s do that.” Emperor Roc nodded. “I’ll leave it to you.”

In terms of strength, Emperor Roc was the strongest out of the three Imperial Lords.

When it came to array formations and curses, Imperial Lord Starquix was most adept.

“As long as we suppress the void, Meng Chuan’s threat level will greatly decrease,” said Imperial Lord Starquix. “When we’re trying to map the World Gap’s connection points, King Thousand Wood will be the greatest threat when both sides enter combat. As long as he’s within 25 kilometers of a demon monarch, he is free to attack with his Magic Awl. There are too few demon monarchs that can withstand his Magic Awl.” “Imperial Lord, I had my Essence Soul pierced by the Magic Awl once,” said Holy Lady Strings respectfully. “Back then, I was in extreme pain. I could only use the Nine Lives Cocoon to protect my body completely. I had no way of resisting it. I think that if I had been attacked by the Magic Awl a few more times, my Essence Soul would have collapsed.”

“The Nine Lives Cocoon’s Essence Soul defense failed?”

Imperial Lord Starquix, Emperor Roc, and Lady Blackmoon felt the pressure.

The Magic Awl Forbidden Spell was the signature move of the human world—the Archean Eon Realm. In the River of Spacetime, alien experts feared Archean Eon Realm’s experts. It was partly because of Ancestral Master Archean Eon’s fame and the signature move, Magic Awl Forbidden Spell.

“The three of you can leave first.” Imperial Lord Starquix waved his hand, and the trio of demon monarchs retreated.

“We have to be careful when dealing with King Thousand Wood. There’s no need to keep him 25 kilometers away from our forces,” said Emperor Roc.

“We still need to prepare for the final operation carefully,” said Imperial Lord Starquix. “We can’t fail this mission.”

“Yes.” Lady Blackmoon and Emperor Roc nodded.

The three of them had been Imperial Lords for many years. Emperor Roc’s strength and fame spread far and wide in this River of Spacetime region, but none of them had reached the Tribulation realm. They naturally wanted to grasp the opportunity of obtaining Ancestral Master Archean Eon’s treasure trove. This was also the greatest opportunity in their lives.

Archean Eon Realm.

Meng Chuan left Archean Mountain and arrived at one of the Great Zhou Dynasty’s nine city passes—Snow Wind Pass. Liu Qiyue guarded Snow Wind Pass.

It was night, and the snow drifted outside the window.

The couple sat on the bed and chatted.

“Ah Chuan, do you know that the Great Zhou Dynasty already has nine large city passes?” said Liu Qiyue as she leaned on Meng Chuan.

“Nine large city passes?” Meng Chuan was astonished.

“A medium-sized World Entrance in the East Sea has become a large World Entrance,” said Liu Qiyue. “In short, although the world has been peaceful for the past decade, World Entrances have been expanding slowly and increasing in number. Originally, World Entrances mainly formed on land. However, there are increasingly more in the ocean now.”

Meng Chuan nodded. “Land is the core of the human world. The four seas are the periphery of the world. Since large World Entrances are gradually appearing in the ocean, it clearly means that the two worlds are getting closer and closer.”

Liu Qiyue nodded slightly. “But don’t worry.” Meng Chuan smiled and said, “We don’t arrange for Godfiends to guard small and medium-sized World Entrances nowadays. We can just arrange for demon servants to keep an eye on them secretly. Only large-scale city passes and super-large city passes need to be guarded. As long as there’s enough manpower, the human world will stay peaceful. The human world and the Demon Realm will get closer and closer. After a certain point, they will gradually separate from each other. Once that happens, the pressure on us will ease.” “I wonder when the two worlds will begin to separate,” said Liu Qiyue.

“We will definitely see it happen while we’re alive,” said Meng Chuan with a smile.

According to records, two worlds would usually separate after a few centuries.

Regis Godfiends had long lifespans. Furthermore, they could sleep for 1,000 years. They could still witness the day of victory. “By the way, Ah Chuan, how long are you staying this time?” asked Liu Qiyue.

“Three days,” said Meng Chuan. “In three days, King Northcleanse will meet me at Archean Mountain. We will then head to the World Gap together.”

“It’s been hard on you,” said Liu Qiyue softly. “As long as we obtain victory and completely resolve the World Gap’s threat,” said Meng Chuan with a smile, “we will be at peace. We just have to guard the World Entrances in the future once the World Gap’s threat is resolved.”

Liu Qiyue nodded.

“Sleep early,” said Meng Chuan as he lay down.

“Okay.” Liu Qiyue nodded. The couple had finally reunited after so many years, so they naturally had many things they wanted to say. They only rested in the latter half of the night.

The next day, the snow stopped.

The sunlight shone on the snow; the reflected light was somewhat blinding. Meng Chuan was already in the study. He mixed the paint and prepared to paint.

Liu Qiyue sat cross-legged in a pavilion outside the window. An invisible heatwave spread in all directions, melting a large amount of snow. In front of her, a wisp of fire transformed into a small phoenix. After forming, it flew around her.

I promised to paint a painting for Qiyue every year. In the past few years, I’ve been painting in the World Gap. I’ll use Qiyue as my model this year. Meng Chuan smiled. He looked up at Liu Qiyue—who was cultivating outside-and lowered his head to paint.

Painting was relaxing for him. To him, this pastime was a form of enjoyment and a way to relax his mental state. Every stroke of Meng Chuan’s brush was like a dragon. The essence of his Cloud Dragon Snake Movement Technique was naturally infused into the brush. This caused Meng Chuan’s Essence Soul to stir as his Essence Soul slowly glowed. The higher one’s technique realm was, the greater the influence on their Essence Soul when cultivating

After reaching the Grotto-Heaven realm, one’s Essence Soul would naturally transform whenever they cultivated normally. Most experts that reached the Grotto-Heaven realm would naturally attain a fifth-level Essence Soul. King True Martial, Peng Mu, and company were the same.

King Calm Sea hadn’t cultivated for very long, so he had yet to obtain a fifth-level Essence Soul. Given more time, his Essence Soul would naturally reach the fifth level.

Once Meng Chuan reached the Grotto-Heaven realm, he could fuse his techniques’ essence into his brush technique. The brush technique contained his technique’s law profundities. He naturally found it easier for his feelings to be evoked, which affected his Essence Soul.
