Chapter 351: Blood Blade Disk Choice

Meng Chuan sat cross-legged in front of the table, beginning to browse the books.

He read through them one by one. Although some treasures were quite enticing, he could ultimately only choose two.

"'In terms of power,' Meng Chuan thought to himself, 'the treasures described in the "Origin Treasures" book, whose power originates from Yuanchu Mountain, are the most formidable. However, their drawback is that they rely on external power, making them inflexible, and their power cannot be enhanced. They are suitable for deploying domains, as a domain, once activated, doesn't require flexibility. But for combat? The lack of adaptability becomes very apparent.'"

Meng Chuan continued browsing.

For instance, there was a 'Sword Talisman.' When activated by a King Godfiend, it could unleash a sword energy, incredibly sharp and comparable to a full-power strike from an ordinary Creation realm Venerable. However, the attack method was fixed by the talisman, making it very rigid. After one strike, it required several breaths of time to prepare for the next.

"'Origin treasures are still best suited for self-preservation,' he concluded."

Meng Chuan's interest was piqued when he came across Emperor-level weapons and secret treasures.

Most Emperor-level weapons and secret treasures were nurtured by Emperors over long periods of cultivation, each possessing various mystical abilities.

"'Calamity Realm Grandmasters.' Meng Chuan turned to the last book, which was the one that most captivated him."

Upon opening it, he saw:

It listed the fewest items, only three treasures.

The first item was called the 'Thousand Thunder Seal.' It had high requirements for the Primordial Spirit realm; only King Godfiends at the fifth level of the Primordial Spirit could attempt to refine it. With the help of the Thousand Thunder Seal, at its weakest, it could form a 'Thunder Tribulation Cloud' within a hundred-mile radius, unleashing bolts of furious heavenly lightning that relentlessly pursued enemies. The speed of heavenly lightning was self-evident, making it impossible to dodge; one could only endure it head-on.

Even if the enemy fled, the Thunder Tribulation Cloud would follow, making its destructive power immense.

Upon reaching the eighth level of the Primordial Spirit, one could fully unleash the power of this Calamity Realm secret treasure, releasing 'thousands of nurtured lightning snakes' that had been cultivated for ages. These thousand lightning snakes could protect the user and break through space to pursue enemies. Ordinary Emperors would be instantly turned to dust.

"'Based on my observation of your Primordial Spirit,' Venerable Li Guan said, 'you are already very close to the fifth level of the Primordial Spirit. Therefore, this 'Thousand Thunder Seal' has also been included. This is a secret treasure belonging to an opponent killed by Ancestor Cang Yuan, and its power is immense. The drawback is that before reaching the eighth level of the Primordial Spirit, one must first form a 'Thunder Tribulation Cloud' to attack enemies, which generally takes several breaths of time.'"

Meng Chuan nodded as he read.

Its power was indeed formidable. Even at its weakest, the 'Thousand Thunder Seal' reached the level of an ordinary Creation realm technique. Furthermore, as his own strength grew, he could unleash even greater power from the Thousand Thunder Seal. This seal placed more emphasis on the Primordial Spirit aspect, as its original user was a Primordial Spirit Calamity Realm Grandmaster.

As for needing several breaths of time to form the Thunder Tribulation Cloud? With his own speed, he could easily stall for that duration.

He turned the page.

Meng Chuan turned to a new page.

The second Calamity Realm secret treasure was a blade named 'Blade of Time.' After refining this blade, one would gain access to a secret art inheritance contained within it, called 'Waterdrop Time.' This was a time-based secret art that, when cultivated to a profound level, could permanently trap enemies in a continuous loop within a period of time, or even achieve time stoppage. This was also a formidable foe encountered by Ancestor Cang Yuan, whom Ancestor Cang Yuan ultimately slew.

"'The lightning lineage, when cultivated to an advanced stage, can also influence time,' Li Guan added. 'This Blade of Time is quite suitable for you. The "Waterdrop Time" secret art can only be obtained by refining this blade. Its initial power is considerable, and it becomes even more extraordinary at higher levels.'"

Meng Chuan looked on with yearning.

As a blade practitioner, the allure of a Calamity Realm blade was immense.

While a weapon nurtured by oneself might be more suitable, that's only true if the power gap between weapons isn't significant. His Demon Slaying Blade was merely a Creation Divine Weapon, far inferior to this 'Blade of Time.' If Meng Chuan could nurture his Demon Slaying Blade to the Emperor-level, only then would its use approach that of the Blade of Time.

Meng Chuan turned another page to the third and final item.

The Calamity Realm secret treasure: the 'Bloodblade Disc.'

The Bloodblade Disc was quite unique.

Ancestor Cang Yuan incidentally obtained it in an ancient ruin while journeying through the River of Spacetime. It was a secret treasure specially refined by a 'Seventh Calamity Primordial Spirit Grandmaster' for his disciple, just before his own great limit. However, when the Grandmaster died of old age, despite his disciple being an Emperor and carefully hidden, the Grandmaster's great enemy still used a Primordial Spirit secret art to trace karma and kill the disciple. With the disciple's death, the treasure was left behind.

The Bloodblade Disc could be used for protection, escape, and attacking enemies. It was well-suited for weaker individuals to grow.

King Godfiends could wield a portion of the Bloodblade Disc's power, using it to fly and escape. It could also split into 'eighteen bloodblades.' These eighteen bloodblades contained a formation that could protect the user from all directions. The Bloodblade Disc's formation primarily focused on flight and defense. As for attacking enemies? That was due to the unparalleled sharpness of the refined bloodblades themselves.

Godfiends could control it with their Primordial Spirit True Essence, using the bloodblades to execute attacks and kill enemies. The extent of power unleashed would depend on their own realm.

If a Creation realm Venerable used it, it could split into 'twenty-four bloodblades,' greatly enhancing flight and defense. Attacking enemies? It still depended on their own realm of control.

If an Emperor used it, it could split into thirty-six bloodblades.

As for Calamity Realm Grandmasters? It would still be thirty-six bloodblades; this was its maximum. The bloodblades themselves were made of special material, unparalleled in sharpness, making them excellent weapons even for Calamity Realm Grandmasters.

This was also a protective secret treasure for a beloved disciple, not the Calamity Realm Grandmaster's own vital weapon.

"'It can be used for flight and protection?' Meng Chuan couldn't help but ask, looking at the last item. 'If I refine this Bloodblade Disc and control it, will my flying speed be even faster?'"

"'This is a Calamity Realm secret treasure,' Qin Wu replied. 'The higher your realm, the more power you can unleash from it. You are already incredibly fast on your own, so with this Calamity Realm Grandmaster's secret treasure, you will naturally be even faster. However, I must remind you that the first two items are either vital weapons or secret treasures belonging to Calamity Realm Grandmasters themselves. The last one is a protective secret treasure intended for junior generations. It prioritizes flight and defense, with weaker offensive capabilities.'"

Meng Chuan stared at the page describing the last secret treasure and said, 'This Bloodblade Disc is described as being made of special material, with the bloodblades being unparalleled in sharpness. It's even considered a very good weapon for Calamity Realm Grandmasters? That's Ancestor Cang Yuan's assessment.'"

"'Yes, it's very sharp,' Qin Wu confirmed. 'But the Bloodblade Disc's formation runes are designed for escape and defense. As for attacking enemies? That will only depend on your own realm.'"

"'I'll choose this one,' Meng Chuan said with a smile."

"'The Bloodblade Disc?' Li Guan, Luo Tang, and Qin Wu all looked at Meng Chuan."

"'I'm certain,' Meng Chuan nodded. 'Even Ancestor Cang Yuan considered it unparalleled in sharpness and suitable for Calamity Realm Grandmasters. For me, a mere King Godfiend... I believe its power will be more than sufficient for killing enemies.'"

Meng Chuan smiled. "'Moreover, during wartime, my speed is the greatest asset. The faster I am, the more demon kings I can slay, and the quicker I can provide rescue.'"

Li Guan and the other two understood: his mastery of flight was likely the main reason for Meng Chuan's choice.

"'Furthermore, this is a protective secret treasure designed for weaker cultivators,' Meng Chuan explained. 'While the other two are powerful, I am merely a King Godfiend. This Bloodblade Disc is more suitable for someone like me.'"
