Chapter 304: 天地断裂

Under the dark red sky, Meng Chuan and the other four were flying.

"Our primary concern right now is the demon race," True Martial King said. Despite his mild demeanor, his eyes sharpened slightly when he spoke of the demon race, which had brought immense suffering to humanity.

"The three major human sects must resist the demon race's incursions, which is why few King Godfiends are dispatched into the World Gap," True Martial King continued. "Mount Yuanchu has only sent our team. I estimate the three major human sects combined have sent no more than three teams. In contrast, while the Fifth-Heaven Demon Monarchs of the demon race cannot enter the human world, they are free to enter the World Gap, and their numbers will vastly outnumber ours."

Meng Chuan's heart tightened.

While humanity had dispatched only a few King Godfiends, it was possible the demon race had sent hundreds of Fifth-Heaven Demon Monarchs.

"Once we meet, the demon race will show no mercy," True Martial King stated. "You only need to stay by my side and King An Hai's. In a battle to the death, sheer numbers sometimes don't provide a significant advantage."

"Understood," Meng Chuan, Xue Feng, and Yan Chihong all nodded.

"Should combat begin, simply remain safely under our protection. Do not charge forward or interfere," King An Hai's cold voice rang out. "Leave everything to True Martial King and me. Your interference would only complicate the situation. The Fifth-Heaven Demon Monarchs we encounter here are not like the newly advanced ones found in the human world."

"Yes," the three of them replied.

Boom—

A massive crack suddenly appeared in the distant sky, twisting and extending for hundreds of miles. Through this enormous rift in the firmament, a vast darkness was faintly visible, a sight that made Meng Chuan and the others' hearts pound.

"Beyond the world's membrane lies the River of Spacetime," True Martial King explained. "Those whose cultivation is insufficient cannot perceive its true nature. Most King Godfiends, for instance, can only see a vast darkness."

"The true nature of the River of Spacetime?" Yan Chihong asked curiously, "What does it look like?"

Meng Chuan and Xue Feng were also curious.

True Martial King smiled as they flew, "How should I put it? For instance, the thousand miles of land ahead appear perfectly normal to you. But in my eyes... the mysteries of spacetime are like a thousand-layer cake. This thousand-mile expanse of land is merely a tiny sesame seed on one layer of that 'thousand-layer cake,' and we are currently slowly flying across that sesame seed."

"A thousand-layer cake?" The three of them, including Meng Chuan, were puzzled.

"True Martial King's cultivation realm is truly extraordinary," King An Hai remarked, his eyes gleaming as he looked at True Martial King. "To me, spacetime is like endless, surging, chaotic waves, and this thousand-mile expanse of land is merely within one of those waves. Yet, in True Martial King's perception, spacetime already possesses order."

"Junior Brother Xue, to have already touched upon the mysteries of the Cavern Heaven in such a short time, you are truly a prodigy," True Martial King chuckled. "Once your Primordial Spirit breaks through, you'll be able to enter the Creation realm. I've merely cultivated for an additional two hundred years."

Meng Chuan, Xue Feng, and Yan Chihong were all stunned.

They were stunned that King An Hai was only a Primordial Spirit breakthrough away from reaching the Creation realm.

They were also astonished by the two distinct descriptions of the River of Spacetime—one spoke of endless, surging waves, while the other likened it to a thousand-layer cake.

"Hm?" Suddenly, both True Martial King and King An Hai looked toward the distant sky.

Meng Chuan also saw it.

From a crack in the distant sky, two streaks of starlight suddenly plunged, falling from the rift towards the earth.

"Treasures," True Martial King declared. His invisible aura immediately enveloped Meng Chuan and the other two, carrying them along with King An Hai as they swiftly flew towards the fallen starlight.

"King An Hai moves at nearly half my speed," Meng Chuan observed, even as he was carried along. "True Martial King, carrying the three of us, is a bit slower than King An Hai. If he were moving alone... perhaps he'd reach sixty percent of my speed?"

In terms of speed, he was unparalleled in the world.

King An Hai's and True Martial King's speeds were already astonishing: King An Hai could cover approximately eight miles in a flash, and Meng Chuan estimated True Martial King could exceed ten miles—both speeds approaching the Creation realm standard.

As a Marquis Godfiend with the Thunder Extinguishing World Demonic Body, Meng Chuan possessed a profound foundation, his physique having been reshaped by nine heavenly thunderbolts. It was only after cultivating the Immortal Realm body that he could achieve a speed of eighteen miles in a single flash.

Whoosh.

King An Hai waved his hand and captured one of the falling streaks of starlight, while True Martial King seized the other.

"Blood Essence Stone?" King An Hai looked at the fist-sized, blood-red stone in his hand.

True Martial King also held a slightly larger Blood Essence Stone.

"Two Blood Essence Stones, not bad at all," True Martial King said with a smile to Meng Chuan, Xue Feng, and Yan Chihong. "They are almost never seen in the human world, but during the birth of a world, Blood Essence Stones are common. These two Blood Essence Stones can serve as raw material for a 'Godfiend Blood Pool,' enough to allow tens of thousands of Godfiends to undergo the life-and-death trial."

"What? Just these two are enough for tens of thousands of Godfiends to undergo the life-and-death trial?" Yan Chihong exclaimed.

Meng Chuan and Xue Feng were also astonished.

"Cultivating Godfiends isn't solely about the Godfiend Blood Pool; it also requires a vast amount of other resources," True Martial King explained. "Currently, there are tens of thousands of Godfiends in the world, but only a few thousand enter the three major sects. This is because cultivating powerful Godfiends requires continuous nurturing and significantly more resources throughout their development."

Meng Chuan and the other two nodded. Meng Chuan pondered his own cultivation: the pills, spiritual fruits, and demonic qi he had consumed were far more valuable than what was typically required for a breakthrough using a Godfiend Blood Pool.

"However, the Godfiend Blood Pool is also foundational, so the value of these two Blood Essence Stones alone amounts to over a hundred million merit points," True Martial King smiled. "This is the first time in the history of our human world that a World Gap has appeared. What we at Mount Yuanchu are truly seeking... is far more than just two Blood Essence Stones."

King An Hai nodded slightly.

The information they had received was far more extensive than what Meng Chuan and the other two possessed. They also bore greater responsibilities and sought more valuable treasures.

Whoosh—

The five of them continued flying forward.

After flying several thousand more miles, Meng Chuan and the others were somewhat stunned by the scene before them.

Swirl!

A massive, dark vortex appeared in the distance. The world's membrane twisted around it, gradually stabilizing the further one moved away from the swirling center.

The enormous dark vortex made True Martial King stop and watch in silence.

King An Hai and Meng Chuan's group were merely stunned, unable to discern anything significant.

True Martial King gazed blankly, only snapping out of his daze after a few minutes. He smiled apologetically, "I got lost in thought. The World Gap is still forming, and the world's membrane here is expanding. However, this place isn't very suitable for your cultivation. Let's keep moving."

The five of them continued flying, moving away from the dark vortex in the world's membrane.

Another few minutes passed.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

In the distance, the very fabric of heaven and earth had completely fractured!

There was no path ahead, only a vast darkness. Within this darkness, purple lightning continuously struck down, appearing like immense "trees" formed from countless bolts of electricity—a truly astonishing sight.

As the lightning struck, black and white currents of air appeared. These currents drew upon the power of the darkness, transforming into a kaleidoscope of colors that formed the shimmering world's membrane. The entire membrane was continuously expanding, and this fractured expanse of heaven and earth was also slowly extending.

"This..." Meng Chuan and the others were left breathless.
