Chapter 260: Three Great Spiritual Powers

It was early morning on the ninth day of the third lunar month, in a quiet room at Meng Manor.

Meng Chuan had been continuously cultivating the 'Undying Realm' for three hours. Although his body was fatigued and his cultivation efficiency had sharply decreased, he was on the verge of completion, so he naturally wanted to finish it in one push.

"Boom." As his primordial spirit's thoughts entered the core of the last particle space, his entire body underwent a complete transformation.

"Is this the Undying Realm?" Meng Chuan felt the changes in his body. Mysterious runes naturally appeared on his arms and legs. Unlike the self-imprinted 'Thunderbolt Demonic Runes,' these formed naturally when the physical body reached a certain state. These runes were called 'demon marks' on demon creatures and 'divine/demonic marks' on gods and demons—merely different names for the same phenomenon. Their natural formation signified that Meng Chuan now possessed a mysterious power.

"Boom." Meng Chuan sat cross-legged. With a thought, under the mobilization of countless thoughts, all the power within the particle spaces converged. The surrounding void collapsed and twisted, becoming dark and chaotic.

In the area around Meng Chuan, distances became unpredictable. Ten zhang could become one zhang, and one zhang could become ten zhang.

"The physical body of the Undying Realm, simply by not restraining its power, can twist the void?" Meng Chuan was astonished. "The Intent Saber could only twist the void through the profound mysteries of its saber techniques. But now, pure physical power is causing changes in the laws of heaven and earth? Perhaps this is what it means to break laws with brute force!"

With a thought, Meng Chuan fully retracted his power, and the surrounding void returned to normal.

"Now, my power is such that I can tear divine weapons apart with my bare hands," Meng Chuan marveled at his new formidable strength. "Even compared to the mountain-like Stone Demon King, if I punch it now, I'm afraid I could send it flying."

Despite his small stature, his strength was considerably more terrifying than that of the mountain demon, the Stone Demon King.

"Unfortunately, from now on, my primordial spirit's power can no longer unleash greater physical strength," Meng Chuan thought to himself. In the past, mobilizing his primordial spirit's power could unleash two or three times his usual strength. But now, even mobilizing his primordial spirit's power couldn't add an ounce of strength.

"Because each thought of my primordial spirit now resides within a particle space, and every single particle can be perfectly mobilized. It's impossible to be more perfect," Meng Chuan sighed inwardly. He could now truly say that he had achieved perfect mobilization of his physical body's strength.

And gods and demons? Even King-level gods and demons wouldn't claim to perfectly mobilize their physical strength, as their lineage isn't inherently strong in physical cultivation. However, the gods and demons lineage excels at controlling true essence. Upon reaching the King-level god and demon realm, they can also achieve perfect mobilization of 'Seamless True Essence.' At that point, their strength would be terrifyingly immense, and even primordial spirit power couldn't further enhance their control over true essence.

"My strength should be equivalent to the 'Great Strength Demonic Body' of a peak Marquis. My vitality is comparable to the 'Immortal Divine Body' of a peak Marquis, and my physical toughness surpasses the 'Reincarnation Divine Body'," Meng Chuan secretly marveled. "However, the 'Undying Realm' in the physical cultivation lineage doesn't inherently include abilities like the Dark Star Domain or Seamless Domain. Therefore, according to Cangyuan Grotto-Heaven's descriptions, a pure 'Undying Realm' practitioner possesses strength equivalent to a peak Marquis, approaching that of a King."

"But I possess the Dark Star Domain, and a speed that is unmatched under heaven," Meng Chuan secretly speculated. "With my speed, combined with the terrifying power of the Undying Realm and my indestructible body, I should have reached the strength of an ordinary King-level god and demon."

This was merely speculation. The ancestors of Yuanchu Mountain had made judgments on the strength of the Undying Realm, but for an Undying Realm practitioner with unmatched speed, their true strength was difficult to determine. Meng Chuan's self-assessment was at the King-level. Perhaps he would need to contend with a fifth-level grand demon monarch to truly confirm it.

"And divine abilities," Meng Chuan realized, understanding through an innate perception the divine abilities he could now employ.

When he was in the Divine Abilities Realm, he only had one divine ability, the 'Thunderbolt God Eye.' But now that he had reached the Undying Realm, he possessed a total of three divine abilities! Many fifth-level grand demon monarchs only had three or four divine abilities themselves.

"Boom." With a thought, the mysterious runes on Meng Chuan's arms and legs reappeared. The terrifying power contained within his physical body naturally converged through these runes, and a thin layer of light appeared all over his body. Within this light layer, countless particle space energies exquisitely combined through the runes, naturally producing astonishing power. At this moment, Meng Chuan seemed to emit faint light from every part of his body, along with a terrifying deterrent force. The surrounding void immediately twisted and collapsed, even more severely than before.

As he stood there, the void itself trembled in fear.

"Is this the 'Immortal Divine Armor'?" Meng Chuan questioned, looking at the thin layer of light on his skin. "I finally have a traditional divine ability of the physical cultivation lineage."

The physical cultivation lineage has several common divine abilities. The 'Immortal Divine Armor' is the most common; almost ninety percent of practitioners who reach the Undying Realm can master it. It's an extremely powerful divine ability, serving as a primary combat ability. The divine ability runes appear on the arms and legs, making the 'Immortal Divine Armor' strongest in those areas, allowing hands and feet to be used directly as divine weapons in combat.

Most other parts of the body, such as the torso, are less powerful, but their defense is still astonishing.

For practitioners of the physical cultivation lineage, bare-handed combat is the mainstream. This is because the lineage isn't skilled at refining weapons; the further they cultivate, the more terrifying their bodies become, with their hands and feet surpassing even divine weapons. They naturally prefer bare-handed combat.

"Bare-handed combat?" Meng Chuan looked down at his palms. A substantial-looking layer of light had appeared on their skin, which could transform at will, becoming sharp as a blade along the edges and pointed as a sword or spear tip at his fingertips.

"My Demon Slaying Saber has grown significantly in power after more than ten years of absorption, and I'm also accustomed to saber techniques," Meng Chuan said, shaking his head. The human gods and demons system is skilled at nurturing weapons and can still find weapons stronger than their own physical bodies. The Demon Slaying Saber's might was now even greater. There was no need to fight bare-handed.

"Retract." With a thought, the light layer on his body fully retracted, withdrawing the 'Immortal Divine Armor,' a common combat divine ability.

That was a complete burst of power from all the particle spaces in his body. If he maintained this divine ability in daily life, its deterrent force would be too terrifying. Even Sun-level gods and demons would be frightened and tremble upon seeing Meng Chuan, and mortals would simply faint.

"The second divine ability allows me to instantly unleash the accumulated lightning within my body through a single point?" Meng Chuan gently extended his palm.

His physical body was now very strong, and each particle space accumulated a vast amount of lightning. Once countless lightning bolts converged at a single point, their power would be astonishing.

"With my Undying Realm physical body, I can at most unleash thirty percent of the lightning within my body at once," Meng Chuan thought to himself. "This means I can unleash it at most three times consecutively."

The countless particle spaces indeed contained too much lightning. With his 'Spirit-Body Unity,' Meng Chuan had each primordial spirit thought residing within these spaces, allowing him to mobilize thirty percent of the lightning at once. Converging them was already at the limit of Meng Chuan's control; any more would cause them to scatter and explode, making it impossible to perfectly concentrate them at a single point. The difference in power between scattered lightning and lightning concentrated at a single point was immense.

Thirty percent of the lightning, converging to burst forth from a single point—Meng Chuan vaguely understood that this power meant he had gained an extremely powerful new ability.

"I can't test it in Jiangzhou City. I'll have to wait until I go out, to an open area, to try this divine ability," Meng Chuan thought to himself. "Since this divine ability unleashes lightning, I'll call it 'Heaven's Wrath'."

The Immortal Divine Armor was a common divine ability of the physical cultivation lineage and a primary combat ability. Heaven's Wrath was a divine ability generated due to Meng Chuan's unique physical constitution. The Thunderbolt God Eye, meanwhile, was Meng Chuan's earliest acquired electromagnetism domain divine ability.

"My current electromagnetism domain has indeed expanded in range, but I wonder how it compares to King Baiyu's," Meng Chuan pondered, his heart itching with anticipation. This was the divine ability he most looked forward to, for in the current war, it was the greatest weapon against demon creatures! Like King Baiyu, his accomplishments alone were comparable to all other gods and demons of Black Sand Grotto-Heaven combined.

"Open." A divine eye opened at Meng Chuan's glabella. Electromagnetism waves, far more powerful than before, surged in all directions, and Meng Chuan carefully sensed the depth of their penetration into the ground.
