Chapter 220: East Ning Marquis Meng Chuan Thunder God Eye

Meng Chuan felt the power of his physical body. He first put away his Demon Slaying Saber, then unleashed furious palm strikes with raw strength, without employing any realm-specific techniques. Each palm strike twisted the air, creating high-pressure shockwaves. Visible "blade energy" surged and cut through the air, yet after only ten meters, it was completely blocked by an invisible domain, not harming the quiet room's walls in the slightest.

"When I previously used the God-Slaying Thorn to gravely wound that one-horned demon monarch, it could only resort to brute force attacks. In terms of raw power, I only possess sixty percent of its strength," Meng Chuan mused, nodding to himself. "That's right, its immense power came from its enormous three-zhang body, fully exerting itself. My body is much smaller, but it's tougher and offers stronger protection."

The Horned Demon Monarch was like a large iron ball. Meng Chuan was like a small piece of refined steel — tougher and more solid. Although his smaller size meant less explosive power, only sixty percent, this raw strength still placed him at the fourth-level demon monarch tier.

"At the Divine Power realm, my physical body is at the fourth-level demon monarch tier," Meng Chuan thought with a sigh. Fourth-level demon monarchs are generally slightly inferior to Marquis Godfiends. The Divine Power realm is also slightly inferior to Marquis Godfiends.

"With spirit and flesh united, I can tap into my physical strength at a deeper level with a single thought," Meng Chuan murmured. "Ordinary realm techniques can no longer unleash greater power." In a mortal body, internal power is naturally dispersed, so even simple techniques can multiply one's strength several times over. However, in a Divine Power realm body, with spirit and flesh united, consciousness is imprinted in every particle space. A single thought can integrate power at a much deeper level. Further increasing combat power from this point becomes difficult!

"Boom." "Boom."

Meng Chuan unleashed two consecutive palm strikes. "One palm strike was pure brute force, the other was the 'Tiger Roar' technique from the peak saber soul realm. The power only increased by sixty percent?" Meng Chuan shook his head discreetly. "What about drawing on my Primordial Spirit power?"

Meng Chuan tried using his Primordial Spirit power to mobilize his physical body. The moment he tried, the sensation was immediately different. While his consciousness was already imprinted in every particle space, mobilizing physical strength was previously just a thought, an instinctive bodily reaction. But once his Primordial Spirit power merged with his physical body, his control over each particle space significantly intensified.

"Boom." Meng Chuan unleashed another palm strike. Its power was concentrated, the mere force tearing through space, yet it was progressively weakened by the domain and contained within a ten-meter radius. "Now, mobilizing my physical body is much smoother, and the consumption of Primordial Spirit power is significantly less. I can unleash thirty moves, and my strength can reach three times what it was before," Meng Chuan nodded, quite satisfied. Upon reaching the Divine Power realm, physical strength became dominant. The explosive power of Sun Godfiend realm True Essence was comparatively too weak.

"If I encounter that demon monarch again... I could crush it head-on. With the God-Slaying Thorn, I could slay it within a few moves."

"Of course, it was just a newly ascended fourth-level demon monarch."

Meng Chuan wasn't arrogant.

"After reaching the Divine Power realm, I actually possess a domain?" Meng Chuan carefully observed. During his repeated trials of techniques, although their power was contained, merely creating shockwaves that compressed the air, they always dissipated within ten meters. This was the capability of a domain.

"This feeling..."

Meng Chuan felt as if he was a tiny point at the center of particle space. Centered on himself, an invisible domain extended within half a kilometer, shrouded by an intangible thunder-magnetic field.

"The secret manuals didn't mention that a domain would form at the Divine Power realm," Meng Chuan thought. "However, I am indeed different from normal cultivators of the physical body lineage. My Godfiend body was reshaped by the power of heavenly lightning, and super-strong thunder-magnetism permeates every particle space within." Only by observing particle space at a microscopic level did he realize that every particle could unleash extremely powerful lightning. Therefore, every particle space possessed a thunder-magnetic domain. Now, with the power of all particle spaces united, it began to affect the outside world, creating a thunder-magnetic domain around Meng Chuan extending hundreds of meters.

"And my divine power," Meng Chuan sensed. As soon as he reached the Divine Power realm, a divine ability naturally manifested. Meng Chuan felt his 'Sea of Consciousness' trembling, brewing something, awaiting his activation.

"Let's try it."

A single thought activated it. With his Sea of Consciousness as the foundation, it guided every particle space throughout his body, actively directing them.

"Boom."

A divine eye opened on Meng Chuan's forehead, a visible manifestation of his Sea of Consciousness. The thunder-magnetic domains of countless particle spaces were also mobilized, and their influence on the outside world suddenly expanded. With Meng Chuan at the center, an area extending two and a half kilometers in all directions became a thunder-magnetic domain! Though no fluctuations were visible within this domain, "thunder-magnetic waves" permeated everywhere, allowing Meng Chuan to perceive everything. These thunder-magnetic waves possessed some power, but it was negligible for those at the Marquis Godfiend level.

This thunder-magnetic domain was primarily for reconnaissance and area-of-effect attacks! The thunder-magnetic domain itself could generate lightning. How terrifying would it be if lightning erupted within a two-and-a-half-kilometer radius around him? Of course, the lightning naturally generated by the thunder-magnetic domain wasn't particularly powerful; it was far inferior to the explosive force of the accumulated lightning within his body. However, it was still effective for crowd control. Its primary function, however, was reconnaissance.

"Thunder-magnetic waves can penetrate half a li underground?" Meng Chuan was utterly astonished. Detecting underground was a major challenge. Even Primordial Spirit domains would be weakened when extended underground. While his thunder-magnetic domain also experienced weakening, it was far superior to many other domains, capable of penetrating half a li deep.

"White Jade King of Black Sand Grotto-Heaven, in his pursuit of demons, single-handedly matched the combined achievements of all other Godfiends in Black Sand Grotto-Heaven. This was because he could detect a five-li radius underground," Meng Chuan thought. "My current divine ability can now detect half a li underground. If I reach the 'Undying Realm,' this ability will become even stronger, with an even wider detection range. And if I reach the 'Blood Drop Realm'? Perhaps I could rival White Jade King."

"I'll call this divine ability the 'Thunderbolt Divine Eye'."

"With one glance of the divine eye, observe all demons in the world."

Meng Chuan was very satisfied. While this divine ability had weak direct combat capabilities, it was perfectly suited for locating demons. Having reached the Divine Power realm, Meng Chuan began to acclimate to his changes. He needed to adapt his future combat style based on his strengths and also learn some of the secret combat arts taught in the physical body lineage's manuals.

Dongning Prefecture, Meng Family Ancestral Home.

Because of Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue, the Meng family was undeniably the foremost Godfiend family in Dongning Prefecture. Meng Dajiang also enjoyed the trust of Yuanchu Mountain and was responsible for intelligence gathering in the prefecture.

"Swish, swish."

Two Godfiends quietly arrived at the Meng family ancestral home, stopping before the door of a study. Pushing the door open, they entered the study, where a plump Meng Dajiang sat, flipping through scrolls.

"Meng Dajiang!" the elder Godfiend leading the pair exclaimed. "Your son, Meng Chuan, fights for humanity, slaying countless demon monarchs. And you? You've colluded with the Skyfiend Gate! You've betrayed our human race!"

"Senior Brother Meng has saved various regions and has come to our Dongning Prefecture to rescue us multiple times. And you, his father, have actually colluded with the Skyfiend Gate?" the other Godfiend beside him angrily added. Meng Chuan was now extremely famous, especially within the thousand-li radius around Gushan Prefecture, where many Godfiends who had met him and his wife held them in immense respect and admiration.

Meng Dajiang sighed, setting down the scrolls. "One wrong step leads to a cascade of errors. I have nothing to say."

"Nothing to say? How shameless!" the elder Godfiend reprimanded. "Take him away."

Meng Dajiang offered no resistance, allowing himself to be captured.

"Will you tell Chuan'er about this?" Meng Dajiang asked in a low voice.

"Of course, we will inform Senior Brother Meng about such a matter," the younger Godfiend beside him retorted. "Meng Dajiang, what you've done brings shame upon Senior Brother Meng!"

"Let's go."

Taking Meng Dajiang, the two Yuanchu Mountain Godfiends quietly departed, without alarming anyone else in the Meng residence. They apprehended him discreetly also out of consideration for Meng Chuan's reputation.
