Chapter 388 Leaving the Battle God Pagoda

After the nine experts unleashed their respective techniques, Meng Chuan had a rough understanding of them. From their auras, techniques, and how far they distanced themselves from him, Meng Chuan could conclude that three of the nine experts had weak physical bodies. The amalgamation of factors allowed him to conclude that he had the greatest chance of killing the winged woman, the tall, skinny, swarthy elder with the feelers, and the human elder.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Dazzling saber beams struck the winged woman.

Affected by Flowing Sand, Meng Chuan had struck out ten times in the time it usually took him to deliver one attack. The winged woman only felt dazzling saber beams cleave down at her.

Although she instantly retracted her wings as a colorful light appeared over her body, the protective light dissipated after being struck ten times. Her wings ruptured, and her face was filled with panic. Following that, a blinding bolt of lightning welcomed her.

Divine power—Heaven’s Wrath!

With her protective light gone and her wings peppered with injuries, she was unable to protect herself perfectly. The lightning struck her, causing her body to turn numb. Rainbow blood flowed out from her mouth and nose.

At that moment, another saber beam cleaved the paralyzed, heavily-injured woman, completely halving her body. Her body suddenly exploded, transforming into a large number of feathers that attempted to fly away.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Saber beams swept across the area-none of the feathers managed to escape. All the feathers were destroyed.

The winged woman died.

Although it took time to describe, Meng Chuan cast Heaven’s Wrath and delivered a dozen strikes in the blink of an eye.

I’ve killed one. Meng Chuan was filled with joy. Since he cultivated Essence Soul Star and had a fifth-level Essence Soul, the speed of his thoughts was no less than that of a Creation realm expert.

When affected by Flowing Sand, his mind was ten times faster.

His mind and body were both fast.

Swoosh.

Meng Chuan executed his movement technique and left behind a mysterious mark as he attacked the skinny, swarthy elder with the feelers. Even the Thirteen Swordbanes—which had the strength of a Creation realm expertwere unable to completely lock onto Meng Chuan. Every time, only one or two strikes connected.

He’s a mere Regis Godfiend, yet he killed a Creation realm alien despite being outnumbered nine to one. The human elder watched. That was a true Winged saint, who once existed. Master once said that strength ultimately decides one’s fate. With strength, one will be respected and feared by all. He’s a 59-year-old Regis Godfiend, but he’s really strong. He has a very powerful physical body; it allows him to withstand several Swordbane strikes without any problem. His cultivation system definitely has very strict requirements if he can cultivate his body to such an extent.

The River of Spacetime developed its own limitations in an unspoken manner. The stronger a cultivation system was, the higher the requirements. The more powerful a legacy was, the harder it was for one to cultivate it. To obtain great strength, one had to break through many difficult obstacles. Is he cultivating the Desolate cultivation system? The Cosmos Body cultivation system? Or is it the Combat Body cultivation system? The human elder guessed how Meng Chuan cultivated his body. He had followed Ancestral Master Archean Eon for a long time, so he knew the famous physical body cultivation systems in the River of Spacetime.

Furthermore, he cultivates two saber arts. One saber art is extremely powerful and fast. His ten consecutive strikes easily dispatched the winged saint. The other saber art is unpredictable. Together with his speed, it’s even harder to block. However, it has inferior strength. His movement technique is also bizarre and unpredictable. He can also enter the depths of the void.

The elder looked at Meng Chuan. He’s probably only at the Greater Mastery of the Dharma Domain realm, yet he already has a divine power in the Time lineage.

What were divine powers?

They were manifestations of one’s talent! When specific types of divine powers manifested, it meant that one’s physical body and Essence Soul were talented in this aspect. When one was weaker, that talent would manifest in the form of divine powers. When one was stronger-a Creation realm expert or an Imperial Lord—they would begin to comprehend their divine powers. They would begin to utilize this power at a more profound level.

He’s able to infiltrate the void’s depths. He clearly has talent in space and time. His potential is indeed astonishing since he grasped these two powers so early.

Space and time combined was spacetime. Only the pinnacle existences in the outer realm had the ability to control spacetime. According to normal cultivation, a Regis Godfiend would typically come into contact with the void. Only Grotto-Heaven realm experts would come into contact with time. This was why Grotto-Heaven realm experts could travel the River of Spacetime. However, Meng Chuan could utilize these two powers at a very early stage; he was capable of accelerating time by ten-fold. Even if King True Martial came into contact with time, it would be difficult for him to accelerate it by ten-fold. However, King Calm Sea-who focused on the Time lineage-could influence time by several-fold, but he couldn’t influence it by ten-fold either.

If he reaches the Grotto-Heaven realm, his control over the time and space powers will greatly improve.

Meng Chuan cleaved at the swarthy elder repeatedly. The swarthy elder was like a stream of water as he was sliced apart time and time again. He even split into dozens of thin embodiments. He smiled at Meng Chuan the entire time.

Only then did Meng Chuan understand. I chose the wrong opponent. Meng Chuan thought that the thin, swarthy elder’s physical body wasn’t strong because he used his domain from afar. However, it was only after exchanging blows that he realized that his opponent was extremely difficult to kill.

He had made a wrong judgment about the three experts with weak bodies. His judgment was very accurate when it came to the winged woman, but he was wrong when it came to the skinny, swarthy elder. He couldn’t take his simple conclusions seriously when facing alien experts.

Swoosh.

Meng Chuan charged at the human elder.

Thirteen Swordbanes, protect me. With a thought, the human elder moved the Thirteen Swordbanes to block Meng Chuan.

The other close-combat experts came to the human elder’s side and helped block the attacks. They also surrounded Meng Chuan.

Ropes wrapped around Meng Chuan. Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Meng Chuan moved 190 kilometers in a second. With the Cloud Dragon Snake Movement Technique, Meng Chuan was unstoppable. However, the human elder only focused on defending. With his companions working with him, Meng Chuan couldn’t do anything to the human elder after six seconds of attempts. He could only switch targets and try one by one.

Meng Chuan tried his best.

He tried three more experts. Unfortunately, one of them had a relatively strong body and was good at close combat. In a one-on-one battle, Meng Chuan would probably have to fight for a long time before he could finish the expert off. Now that there were so many of them, it was impossible to finish him off in a short period of time. The other two were exactly as he guessed—their life-preservation abilities were ridiculously strong.

When Meng Chuan began to feel extremely weak, he was no longer able to maintain his divine power-Heaven Earth Control. The stacked domain suppressed him greatly, and his body became even weaker. His strength decreased drastically. Although he maintained his ten-fold speed with Flowing Sand, his speed was reduced to 50 kilometers per flash.

Pew!

The demon dragon shot out a golden beam.

Meng Chuan swung his saber to block it, but he couldn’t withstand it. His saber was sent flying. The golden beam penetrated Meng Chuan’s body! Both his Indestructible Divine Armor and body were penetrated.

“I admit defeat,” shouted Meng Chuan as he quickly recovered.

Admit defeat?

The eight experts were stunned.

“I admit defeat.” Meng Chuan felt exhausted. Under the suppression of multiple domains, his strength and speed were greatly reduced. There was no way he could continue fighting.

He knew his strength very well.

Typically, his strength was only at the Creation realm’s threshold. If he used the two divine powers-Heaven Earth Control and Flowing Sand-at the same time, he could increase his combat strength to the level of a top Creation realm expert. However, he could only maintain that state for 30 seconds! In the outside world, that was three seconds!

I’ve already shown everything I can.

“I was planning on teaching you a good lesson, but you immediately admitted defeat after delivering a barrage of attacks. Godfiend, you are truly cunning,” said the human elder with a smile. The surrounding alien experts all dissipated. “Alright, you may leave.”

With that said, he waved his hand.

Meng Chuan felt the void change as he arrived outside the pagoda.

Oh? Meng Chuan looked around him. I’ve been teleported outside the pagoda? Beside him, the black-robed elder was looking at the pillar. “How’s my ranking?” asked Meng Chuan nervously.

The black-robed elder looked at Meng Chuan with mixed emotions. “You are ranked fifth in the Battle God Pagoda’s historical rankings.”
