Chapter 345: Law Domain Realm

The strike felt incredibly satisfying.

Meng Chuan had never before swung a blade so fast; it turned into light. At such incredible speed, the power contained within the blade reached an unimaginable level, and the strike itself felt incredibly 'heavy'. Despite its unbelievable swiftness, it felt as ponderous as a mountain. The void twisted and vibrated before this strike. Meng Chuan could clearly sense that, through the distorted void, the blade could reach any point within a two-mile radius.

The strike Meng Chuan unleashed sliced through the night sky over two miles away. The blade energy shot diagonally upwards towards the high clouds, traveling for over a hundred miles before finally dissipating.

The blade itself didn't lengthen, yet the void distorted, effectively shortening the distance. A reach of over two miles felt as if it were within arm's reach.

"I..." Meng Chuan murmured. After unleashing that strike, he stood in the courtyard, staring, stunned, at the rift cut into the high clouds in the night sky, then looked down at the blade in his hand.

"The Domain Realm? I've reached the Domain Realm?" Meng Chuan's chest swelled with wild joy.

After completing the "Fifteen Thunderous Forms" in the World Gap and discerning his path, he continued his progression along that direction.

Over three years later, he had finally achieved it.

"The Domain Realm."

Meng Chuan couldn't resist striking again.

The blade turned into light. If mere threads of true essence reached this speed, they wouldn't cause significant changes in the void. However, the Demon Slaying Blade was a heavy divine weapon; for such a weighty object to become a beam of light at such immense speed caused a far greater distortion in the void—even more profound than when he activated his divine power, 'Indestructible Divine Armor'.

Under this distortion, a distance of over two miles was within arm's reach.

Meng Chuan's blade could strike in all directions, reaching any point within a two-mile radius, both above and below.

To avoid disturbing mortals, Meng Chuan directed each strike towards the night sky, repeatedly tearing apart the high clouds. In the darkness, probably only gods and demons could discern these high-altitude clouds.

After continuously striking dozens of times and being absolutely certain he had reached the Domain Realm, Meng Chuan finally stopped.

"I can feel it," Meng Chuan thought to himself. "At this speed, the blade becomes very heavy. Its power has also greatly increased; the faster it goes, the more dramatically its power escalates."

Unable to contain his joy, Meng Chuan went inside, where his wife, Liu Qiyue, was sound asleep.

"A'Chuan," Liu Qiyue murmured, waking up. As a Marquis Godfiend, she looked at Meng Chuan with some confusion.

Normally, Meng Chuan would practice his blade arts until dawn, only sleeping once every one or two months.

"Qiyue," Meng Chuan said excitedly, sitting by the bed and gazing at his wife, "My blade art has broken through! I've reached the Domain Realm!"

"The Domain Realm?" Liu Qiyue was momentarily stunned, then her face lit up with excitement. "A'Chuan, you've already reached the fourth level of Soul. Are you about to become a King Godfiend?"

"Yes," Meng Chuan nodded excitedly. "I'll get some good rest and adjust my state to its peak. Tomorrow night, I plan to break through to the King Godfiend realm."

"A King Godfiend," Liu Qiyue exclaimed in admiration. "Our Wuzhou is finally going to have a King Godfiend."

King Godfiends are not easily born.

They require talent, resources, and also some luck! Without good luck, they might die along the way.

"I've waited for this day for a long time," Meng Chuan said, equally excited. "Now I can kill even more demon kings."

Liu Qiyue chuckled, covering her mouth. "The young master Meng of Dongning City, in the blink of an eye, is about to become a King Godfiend. You probably wouldn't have even dared to dream of this back then, would you?"

Meng Chuan also smiled. After decades, he had finally reached this point.

"Most people aim to become Marquis Godfiends before sixty and King Godfiends before ninety. A'Chuan, you'll become a King Godfiend before sixty. This speed is much faster than many unparalleled prodigies," Liu Qiyue exclaimed. She herself had undergone Phoenix Nirvana several times, consuming over thirty years of her lifespan, and was still some distance from becoming a King Godfiend.

Meng Chuan, on the other hand, had truly relied entirely on his own cultivation.

"Thanks to my trip to the World Gap," Meng Chuan said. Observing the purple lightning within the World Gap and depicting the 'Fifteen Thunderous Forms' had given him a clear understanding of the lightning lineage.

"If you're breaking through tomorrow, you should inform Yuanchu Mountain beforehand, shouldn't you?" Liu Qiyue suddenly asked.

"Yes, becoming a King Godfiend is a significant event, so of course, I must report it in advance. I'll write the letter now." As Meng Chuan stood up, Liu Qiyue also got out of bed and put on her outer garment.

They went to the study.

Liu Qiyue watched from the side as Meng Chuan put away his paintings and then earnestly wrote the letter.

He then had a bird-demon king messenger depart that very night to deliver the letter to Yuanchu Mountain.

Yuanchu Mountain, Dongtian Pavilion.

In the early morning, the old steward respectfully placed a letter on the table before Venerable Li Guan.

"Venerable One, a letter from Marquis Dongning," the old steward said respectfully.

Among the many Godfiends of Yuanchu Mountain, only a select few could send letters directly to a Venerable. Meng Chuan was naturally one of them.

"A letter addressed to me?" Venerable Li Guan was quite surprised. Meng Chuan was a disciple of Venerable Qin Wu, and general official matters were usually addressed to the Yuanchu Mountain Master, so it was rare for him to write specifically to Venerable Li Guan.

Putting down the steaming teacup in his hand, Venerable Li Guan picked up the letter, opened it, and was momentarily stunned as he read it.

He stared blankly at the letter.

After a while, he blinked. Venerable Li Guan looked up at the sky, then turned to look around. Plum blossoms, dusted with snow, were blooming, their subtle fragrance wafting through the air.

"I'm not dreaming," Venerable Li Guan murmured, looking down at the letter again. "Is this real?"

Soon.

Two illusory figures flew over: the avatars of Venerable Qin Wu and Venerable Luo Tang.

"Senior Brother, why have you summoned us?" Luo Tang's avatar asked.

"It's about Meng Chuan; take a look," Li Guan said, handing the letter to them.

Qin Wu took the letter, and Luo Tang also scrutinized it.

Both were stunned.

"This is Meng Chuan's letter? It's not fake?" Luo Tang couldn't help but ask.

"It's his letter; the true essence imprint is correct," Qin Wu confirmed, looking at Venerable Li Guan. "Senior Brother, is Meng Chuan about to become a King Godfiend?"

"I'm still a bit dazed," Venerable Li Guan murmured softly. "Didn't we say he spent over a decade, including nearly a year cultivating in the World Gap, just to reach the 'peak of the Dao realm'? How could he suddenly become a King Godfiend? Did he use a treasure like the 'Heart-Questioning Pearl'?"

Luo Tang said, still dazed, "Even with the Heart-Questioning Pearl, it wouldn't necessarily be this fast, would it?"

"Even unparalleled prodigies are considered excellent if they can become King Godfiends before ninety. Many only achieve King status after turning a hundred," Venerable Li Guan couldn't help but say. "This Meng Chuan, becoming a King Godfiend at fifty-five, and not far from the fifth level of Soul? Didn't you tell me before... that his mastery in technique was quite far from that of an unparalleled prodigy?"

"Before, clearly..." Luo Tang also felt bewildered. She looked at Qin Wu. "Qin Wu, didn't you, as his master, say that Meng Chuan was slow in cultivation and you wanted to give him a Heart-Questioning Pearl to help him become a King Godfiend?"

Qin Wu stood in place, looked at the letter in his hand again, and smiled. "That boy Meng Chuan doesn't lie. He has indeed reached the Domain Realm, and he's going to become a King Godfiend tonight! A King Godfiend at fifty-five, and close to the fifth level of Soul? His talent now surpasses even King Anhai and King Zhenwu. The talent of Godfiends isn't immutable; King Zhenwu was also a late bloomer! Meng Chuan has clearly undergone a transformation, and his talent has become even more formidable."

"His talent surpasses King Anhai and King Zhenwu?" Luo Tang's eyes lit up.

"Heaven's favor, Heaven's favor," Venerable Li Guan said, feeling fortunate. "Meng Chuan excels at underground reconnaissance, and his talent is so high. The threat of a million demon kings has greatly troubled our three major sects, but now we see hope for a solution."
