Chapter 146: Diamond Body

Author: I Eat Tomatoes

In a quiet room within the manor.

Meng Chuan sat cross-legged, using a secret technique with his Primordial Spirit power to observe his physical body.

One must reach the second layer of the Primordial Spirit and utilize secret techniques to enter the "microscopic" world, where one can see that every tiny tissue, such as muscles and bones, is composed of countless smaller particles. These particles vary in size and color. However, as part of the Thunder World-Annihilating Demonic Body, these tiny particles contain lightning power, making their cultivation equally challenging.

After nearly six months of cultivation, guided by the Great Accomplishment stage of his Blade Soul and controlled by his Primordial Spirit power, Meng Chuan had consumed a vast amount of True Essence. He was finally on the verge of completely refining all the particles in his body, making them fully "unified."

His True Essence rapidly depleted, but the "Thousand Stars Pill" he had consumed replenished it.

"Boom." Every part of his physical body—whether a strand of hair, a drop of blood, or a tiny tissue in his brain—had its countless constituent particles thoroughly refined and unified.

Individually, the transformation of each tiny particle was not exaggerated.

However, when they were completely unified with the help of his Blade Soul, the effect on his physical body was extraordinary.

It was like a group of ten thousand people! If they lacked discipline and were scattered, their combat power would naturally be limited. But if they strictly followed orders, acting as one, then the combat power of that ten-thousand-strong army would be completely different.

His physical body was the same!

After every particle in his body was cultivated and completely unified, his physical body became perfectly integrated. According to the inherited texts, this meant achieving a "Vajra Body," reaching the Vajra Realm!

"It's done," Meng Chuan opened his eyes. He felt a pervasive clarity throughout his body, and his skin seemed to emit a golden, jade-like radiance. Upon closer inspection, one could discern a very thin, invisible membrane on his skin. Even without actively using any power, an invisible force naturally existed. This was the power contained within countless particles, which, once all particles were refined and unified, converged and manifested externally.

"According to the descriptions in the inheritance, once the Vajra Body is achieved, a 'Vajra Body Protection Force' naturally forms on the surface, making it impervious to water and fire, and difficult for blades and swords to harm." Meng Chuan picked up his Demon Slaying Blade from the side and tried to strike his arm with it. However, it was blocked by the Vajra Body Protection Force, which piqued Meng Chuan's curiosity. "I want to see just how powerful this Vajra Body truly is."

After trying for about half an hour, Meng Chuan was somewhat astonished.

Perhaps due to his perfect Thunder World-Annihilating Demonic Body as a foundation and his cultivation of the Body Refinement lineage, his "Vajra Body" could unleash power equivalent to seventy percent of a "Great Sun Realm True Essence" cultivator's destructive power when he activated it with his Great Accomplishment Blade Soul.

In terms of defensive capability, it was terrifying. The Vajra Body Protection Force and his skin alone provided a defensive capability comparable to the protective robes bestowed by Yuanchu Mountain! If one included his tougher tendons, muscles, and so on... it would be much stronger. In a one-on-one battle between opponents of similar strength, if one person slashed with a blade and the other thrust with a sword, a Yuanchu Mountain Godfiend's armor might be shattered, and a vital hit would be fatal. The Vajra Body, however, might sustain ten or eight wounds on its surface, but these would be hard to penetrate past the muscle layer, and minor injuries would heal quickly.

"This life-saving ability is truly terrifying. The fourth stage is called the 'Undying Realm,' where the body has no vital points whatsoever. Even if the head, heart, or other areas are pierced with seventeen or eighteen holes, it's fine, and they recover in an instant. The fifth stage, 'Blood Drop Realm,' means that even if only a single drop of blood remains, a physical body can be regenerated." Meng Chuan couldn't help but exclaim.

"However, the True Essence lineage in our human world, upon reaching the 'Dark Star Realm' and 'Seamless Realm,' also sees a significant increase in life-saving ability, along with even greater destructive power," Meng Chuan mused inwardly.

The two major lineages:

The Body Refinement lineage primarily focuses on close-quarters combat, possessing extremely terrifying vitality. As long as they are alive, their physical body can maintain peak vitality, but their destructive power is slightly inferior.

The True Essence lineage has strong destructive power! Their life-saving ability is slightly weaker, and their physical body gradually ages over time.

"My physical body is much stronger, and my meridians can also unleash stronger True Essence."

"My strength, compared to when I first passed the Nine Profound Cavern, has doubled." Meng Chuan was delighted. To double his strength in his normal state, without using forbidden techniques or relying on his Primordial Spirit power, was incredibly rare. If this inheritance wasn't limited to the Blood Drop Realm, it would be considered a top-tier opportunity even within the Cangyuan Grotto-Heaven.

Following this, Meng Chuan closed his eyes again, recovering his depleted True Essence.

"Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle."

Streaks of lightning power were drawn from the void and entered Meng Chuan's body. A very faint baleful aura was also attracted and entered his body.

As his physical body grew stronger, he could absorb more lightning power and baleful aura.

Lightning power and baleful aura... were more dependent on the physical body and had little to do with True Essence.

More than half a month later, on the night of June 27th.

Cangshan Prefecture in Yuan Prefecture, located over three hundred miles from Beihe Pass. Currently, outside Cangshan Prefecture City.

"Whoosh."

A black-robed figure silently emerged from underground. Its head was also covered by the robe, vaguely revealing a pair of emerald green eyes.

It stared towards the distant Cangshan Prefecture City. It was late at night, the city gates were long closed, and soldiers patrolled the city walls. However, the soldiers could not possibly see the black-robed figure two miles away in the darkness.

Yet, this black-robed figure could clearly see the two large characters "Cangshan" above the city gate.

"Cangshan? Is this Cangshan Prefecture of the Great Zhou Dynasty?" The black-robed figure quietly drilled back underground, transforming completely into a pangolin. It moved at an extremely fast pace, and moments later, it reached the depths of a desolate mountain range about five or six miles from Cangshan Prefecture. The entire Yuan Prefecture was covered in mountains, and many villages and strongholds were built within them. Only some major cities were built in the rare flat areas between large mountains.

Within that desolate mountain, there was a distorted world entrance approximately one hundred feet long.

Two figures stood beside the world entrance.

"Swoosh."

The pangolin emerged from underground, transformed back into the black-robed figure, and swiftly passed through the distorted world entrance into the Demon Realm.

"Jiayou has returned," the two Demon Monarchs guarding the world entrance smiled.

"Watch carefully. Kill any human who approaches immediately. Before the attack, this world entrance must not be exposed. If it is exposed, His Majesty will not spare us."

"Don't worry, in the mountains late at night, few humans will come. Nothing will go wrong."

After the black-robed figure entered the Demon Realm, it saw the demon army gathering, many Demon Monarchs, and a Great Demon Monarch with a snake tail and human body sitting on a throne.

"Your Majesty," the black-robed figure stepped forward and knelt respectfully.

"Have you found out where in the human world this unstable world entrance connects to?" the Great Demon Monarch asked indifferently.

"Cangshan Prefecture in Yuan Prefecture of the Great Zhou Dynasty," the black-robed figure replied. "Cangshan Prefecture is only five or six miles from the world entrance."

"Very good." The Great Demon Monarch smiled, then waved his black hand.

The black-robed figure immediately stood obediently among the group of demons.

Another hour passed.

A giant bird flew from a distance, with a three-headed Demon Monarch standing on its back.

After the bird landed and transformed into an upright human-like form, the three-headed Demon Monarch also came before the snake-tailed, human-bodied Great Demon Monarch and bowed respectfully: "Jumo pays his respects to the esteemed Lanyu, the Great Demon Monarch."

"You already know the situation, don't you?" Lanyu, the Great Demon Monarch, sat there, his black fingers resting on the armrest, looking down at the three-headed Demon Monarch.

"Yes, Jumo is willing to enter the human world," the three-headed Demon Monarch replied respectfully.

"My territory does not have a Third Heaven Demon Monarch who can immediately enter, which is why I borrowed you from Thousand Poisons, the Great Demon Monarch," Lanyu, the Great Demon Monarch, said. "This unstable world entrance will not last long, so we must attack quickly. Cangshan Prefecture of the human Great Zhou Dynasty is five or six miles from the world entrance. I will arrange five elite Second Heaven Demon Monarchs, along with thirty thousand demon soldiers, to accompany you."

"Yes," the three-headed Demon Monarch replied respectfully. "Once the attack is successful, Jumo will go into hiding in the human world and will not rush back."

"Very good."

Lanyu, the Great Demon Monarch, nodded, "It is currently late night in the human world, and the mortals are asleep. It is an excellent time to attack. You all should depart immediately."

"Yes. Yes."...

The three-headed Demon Monarch 'Jumo,' five elite Second Heaven Demon Monarchs, and thirty thousand demon soldiers—this was a force significantly stronger than the one that attacked Dongning Prefecture previously.

Soon, the demon army, like a flood, swiftly poured through the world entrance, heading directly towards Cangshan Prefecture without hesitation, following the direction indicated by 'Jiayou.'
