Archean Eon Art

Chapter 239 The Only Way

“Ah Chuan, run. Don’t bother about me.” Liu Qiyue looked at her husband and persuaded him via voice transmission.

She looked at Meng Chuan’s side profile. She wanted to remember his appearance. She was reluctant to part with him. She couldn’t bear to part with her husband or her children, but she knew that choices had to be made on a battlefield. It would be better if at least one of them survived instead of dying together.

“Don’t worry, Qiyue,” Meng Chuan reassured Liu Qiyue via voice transmission. “Let’s hold on for a while longer. The Godfiend that Archean Mountain sent will arrive soon.”

“Ah Chuan, the fastest reinforcement will be a Regis Godfiend from Luo Tang Pass,” said Liu Qiyue via voice transmission. “They will take five minutes to arrive. That’s too long. They won’t arrive in time. Don’t implicate yourself because of me. Ah Chuan, our children are still young. They need someone to take care of them.”

“Don’t worry. I have a solution,” said Meng Chuan.

Meng Chuan knew that if Supremacy Luo Tang rescued them personally, she would arrive very quickly. However, Luo Tang Pass couldn’t be lost! Once Supremacy Luo Tang appeared, Blackrock would tell the demons that a Creation-level threat had appeared with his token before dying. The demons would then realize that Supremacy Qin Wu was still guarding Archean Mountain. Thus, they could infer that Supremacy Luo Tang had likely been the one to act. Then, the demons might immediately attack Luo Tang Pass.

As the Great Zhou Dynasty’s only super-large city pass, the Godfiends wouldn’t be able to hold the demons back without a Creation Supremacy. If they lost Luo Tang Pass, it would be disastrous.

Just as Meng Chuan and his wife had expected, Archean Mountain had indeed sent a Regis Godfiend-King Luyue of Luo Tang Pass—to rescue them.

When Meng Chuan had fought Fu Jiao, it had been King Luyue who had arrived to act as reinforcements. It was the same this time. Luo Tang Pass only had two Regis Godfiends guarding it. King Luyue was the faster of the two, so he was naturally sent to aid Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue.

Swoosh.

In the clouds, King Luyue traveled as a black light beam. His eyes were filled with anxiety.

Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue have repeatedly requested for help? It looks like it’s very dangerous. The two of them must hold on. I still have another 250 kilometers to go! King Luyue rushed to save them.

Charge. Meng Chuan suddenly fused the Power of Essence Soul with his body and rushed forward with his wife. His speed increased by nearly 30 percent, but Blackrock snorted coldly.

Blackrock’s body glowed red, and his speed increased by 20 to 30 percent. He was still faster than Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue.

He actually forced me to use a forbidden spell. Blackrock’s eyes turned even more ferocious as he pursued Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue.

The gap is narrowing. I can’t shake it off. Meng Chuan’s mind raced. What should I do? Qiyue must be saved! But how? By using the Power of Essence Soul, I will only have the strength of a peak Marquis Godfiendl. It’s impossible for me to stop a fourth Firmament mountain demon monarch.

There’s no other way…

Meng Chuan glanced at his wife. “Qiyue, I’ll hold him back. Take the opportunity to escape this domain.”

“How?” Liu Qiyue immediately sent a voice transmission. “Ah Chuan, don’t be rash.”

“I have a way.” Meng Chuan released his wife and took the initiative to rush towards Blackrock.

Blackrock was not alarmed. Instead, he was overjoyed. “Nice!” He was most afraid that Meng Chuan would abandon his wife and escape alone. He couldn’t do anything if he did do that. To him, Meng Chuan was much more important than Liu Qiyue. Liu Qiyue’s survival only meant an additional human expert in the future. If Meng Chuan stayed alive, he would continue to protect a vast area with his speed. His Essence Soul cultivation talent represented his terrifying potential. “Die!” Blackrock suddenly exerted his strength and took a step forward. The ground quaked as he brandished his sledgehammer.

The huge hammer—that was 20 to 30 feet in diameter—was like a small hill. It contained terrifying might. Wherever it passed, space distorted.

The hammer’s terrifying might made Meng Chuan’s heart skip a beat. He immediately executed Swallow Stance, avoiding the terrifying sledgehammer. But another sledgehammer followed the previous one.

Boom!

Their surroundings were affected by these two sledgehammers. The sky darkened as waves surged forward.

Meng Chuan vaguely realized that the two sledgehammers had formed a formation. Once he was embroiled in Blackrock’s attacks, it would be difficult to escape.

Run! He didn’t continue rushing toward Blackrock. Instead, he used his movement technique to flee into the distance. “Escaping? Then, I’ll kill your wife,” roared Blackrock. His voice resounded through his surroundings. He didn’t chase after Meng Chuan. Instead, he rushed towards Liu Qiyue. He wanted to force Meng Chuan to save his wife.

Liu Qiyue watched as Meng Chuan fled into the distance. Her knitted brows eased as she completely relaxed.

Meng Chuan had made his choice. This was a wise choice on the battlefield—at least one person could survive.

Ah Chuan, take good care of our children.

Meng Chuan’s eyes filled with determination as he fled into the distance.

There’s only one way to save Qiyue. I must break through to the Darkstar realm!

Meng Chuan’s eyes were filled with madness.

In the Godfiend cultivation system, each major breakthrough had to be handled with extreme care. The further one progressed in the cultivation system, the more dangerous the breakthrough became. One mistake could result in one’s body exploding into pieces.

It was extremely difficult to break through from the Great Solar realm to the Darkstar realm! One had to reach the Realm of Dao and have an Essence Soul before they could condense a Darkstar. One had to control every wisp of their Quintessential Essence carefully with their Essence Soul. A Great Solar Godfiend also had to be young enough. Otherwise, one’s dantian space wouldn’t be young and resilient enough to withstand the breakthrough impact. After reaching 60 years of age, the probability of a Great Solar Godfiend becoming a Marquis Godfiend would gradually drop.

If he wanted to break through to the Darkstar realm, then he needed to meditate! A slight disturbance during one’s breakthrough would cause them to fail.

Meng Chuan was currently unable to meditate. He couldn’t even slowly adjust his state of mind and focus on making a breakthrough. He had to make a sudden breakthrough. The danger of doing this was insanely great.

My body’s lifeforce is extremely vigorous. My dantian space is far tougher than that of my peers. I have a third-level Essence Soul. My control over Quintessential Essence with the Power of Essence Soul is more exquisite than that of my peers. Even if I make a sudden breakthrough, I have more than 80 percent chance of success.

Though an 80 percent chance of successfully breaking through was high, Archean Mountain only allowed their disciples to break through if they had a 100 percent chance of success. This required one to enter seclusion and begin their breakthrough.

After all, if he failed, everything would be for naught. He was basically insane to attempt to break through to the Darkstar realm during a battle. However, Meng Chuan knew that he might die during this chance. Since he had an 80 percent chance of breaking through, he naturally chose to do so if he could save his wife.

And this was the only way to save his wife. He had no other choice since he was up against a peak fourth Firmament demon monarch that controlled the Dragonwater Domain.

Come on! Meng Chuan didn’t have time to waste. It wouldn’t take long for Blackrock to catch up to Liu Qiyue. He had to become a Marquis Godfiend quickly.

Instantly, the Power of Essence Soul fused with his Great Solar Quintessential Essence and his dantian space. A dazzling ‘Great Sun’ floated in the middle of his vast dantian space, emitting a golden glow. Every wisp of golden light was a wisp of Great Solar Quintessential Essence.

Since Meng Chuan was accomplished in the physical body cultivation system, his body was very powerful. His foundation was robust, and his dantian space was extremely vast. The ‘Great Sun’ in his dantian space had also reached its size limit. Compared to all of history’s Great Solar Godfiends, Meng Chuan’s Quintessential Essence was the purest and most refined. If he improved his Quintessential Essence any further, the ‘Great Sun’ would implode.

Break through. He didn’t have time to think about it. The Power of Essence Soul fused with the ‘Great Sun’ and controlled countless golden rays, instantly triggering their power.

Boom!

With his Saber Dao, the Yin-Yang Transformation caused his accumulated Great Solar Quintessential Essence to erupt completely. The ‘Great Sun’s’ glow became a thousand-fold more dazzling, filling the entire dantian space.

Meng Chuan’s Quintessential Essence continued exploding under his guidance. When it reached its limit, the ‘Great Sun’ produced an attractive force.

Extreme Yang gave rise to Yin! Converge. The Power of Essence Soul caused his Quintessential Essence to gather like a vortex. The pressure on the gathered Quintessential Essence caused it to liquefy and even solidify.

Although it took a long time to describe, the ‘Great Sun’ exploded and shrunk extremely quickly. Finally, it shrank into an extremely tiny dim sphere. It was many times smaller than the previous ‘Great Sun’. The entire dantian space turned dark.

The dark red sphere emitted a dark red gas; it contained a terrifying might. This was a Darkstar.
