Chapter 436: Return to Yuanchu Mountain

With the aid of the Bloodblade Disc, his Cloud-Mist Dragon-Snake movement technique became incredibly swift and elusive. The 'Quicksand' divine power gave Meng Chuan's Nascent Soul ample time to execute astonishing maneuvers. He left countless afterimages as he delved deeper into the raging wind vortex. The Marquis Godfiends watching from afar could no longer even discern his movements.

"Thirty li left, twenty li." Meng Chuan could already see the enormous azure egg at the core of the primal wind vortex. However, as he approached the final distance, the strong winds became increasingly dense, with gaps so small they were almost negligible.

"The wind is too dense," Meng Chuan thought. Even with the 'Quicksand' divine power, which slowed his perception of the outside world to one-fourth of its normal speed, the raging winds at the eye of the storm still astonished Meng Chuan with their density. At the closest point to the 'azure egg,' there were no gaps at all.

"As long as the wind blows, there will be dense spots and sparse spots," he mused. "I'll risk it." Meng Chuan hesitated for a moment about ten li away from the 'azure egg,' creating thousands of illusions around him. The density of the primal wind here still posed no threat to him.

"Charge!" With a thought from Meng Chuan, the divine power 'Control over Heaven and Earth' erupted! Simultaneously, eighteen bloodblades encircled his body closely. When the 'Quicksand' divine power only affected his physical body, its consumption was minimal, allowing it to be maintained for five breaths, which Meng Chuan perceived as fifty breaths. If it was extended outwards, the further the distance, the faster the consumption. Therefore, only at the last moment did Meng Chuan release the bloodblades, and the invisible power of the 'Quicksand' divine power also touched these eighteen bloodblades.

Boom! In an instant, his movement technique changed 127 times. Especially at the final distance, where there were no gaps, Meng Chuan chose the 'sparsest' spot and shot through. This final sprint reached Meng Chuan's Sword Immortal speed. Even the sparsest spot was more terrifying than the raging winds on the outermost periphery!

The moment Meng Chuan burst through, the eighteen bloodblades protecting him were slightly shaken and then shattered and scattered. But this momentary 'shattering' was enough for Meng Chuan to reach the azure egg. "Collect," Meng Chuan said, his palm touching the azure egg as he forcibly stored it within his spatial treasure.

The instant the azure egg entered the spatial treasure, the surrounding primal winds seemed to lose their source, quickly weakening and dissipating. Meng Chuan's legs had been shredded and pulverized, a crimson red spreading everywhere. His legs had just been swept by the primal winds.

Whoosh! The shredded flesh and crimson blood rapidly flew back, and Meng Chuan's legs quickly regrew and fully recovered. The Bloodblade Disc also flew back to him. Upon reaching the Blood Droplet Realm, as long as the particles remained intact, his body suffered no loss. If the particle space were destroyed, that would signify the complete annihilation of a single particle. However, the primal winds were unconscious, akin to countless blades cutting through. Although they shredded Meng Chuan's legs into a bloody mist, less than one-thousandth of his particles were actually pulverized; the other particle spaces remained intact. With a single thought from Meng Chuan, all particles returned, and the slight loss was recovered within a single breath.

"Success." Meng Chuan looked at his spatial bracelet, sensing the 'azure egg' within. The Wind Primal Treasure hadn't fully emerged yet, so it was quite docile.

"Hm?" From afar, King Molten Fire, King Gu Tong, King Zhenwu, and the other Marquis Godfiends who witnessed this scene saw Meng Chuan's legs shredded into a bloody mist, only to completely recover in the blink of an eye.

"Such regenerative ability is truly astonishing." King Molten Fire and the others were somewhat shocked. During the process of acquiring the treasure, Meng Chuan's displayed movement technique and the vitality of his Godfiend body truly astounded them. Meng Chuan, however, didn't mind, as the Demon Race was already aware of his abilities, so there was no need to hide anything from the Human Race. Whether it was enduring Grand Sovereign Jiuyuan's punch or fighting against Holy Master Qiansi and others, the Demon Race could deduce that Meng Chuan's physical body was extremely strong and that he likely possessed more than one divine power.

Meng Chuan flew back among the Godfiends.

"King Dongning's movement technique truly opened our eyes," King Beimu exclaimed.

"With King Dongning's strength, the Demon Race can't even dream of threatening us," King Qianmu said with a smile. "Just that movement technique alone makes him unassailable to the Demon Race, whether in the Human World or the World Gap." Meng Chuan's strength greatly reassured these Marquis Godfiends. After all, Meng Chuan had too significant an impact on the war.

"Congratulations, Yuanchu Mountain, on acquiring the primal treasure. We will take our leave now," King Molten Fire said.

"Farewell," King Gu Tong and the others also offered their farewells. Soon, the team from Two World Island's Black Sand Grotto-Heaven departed. Guardian Wang Shan returned to his Grotto-heaven Dharma Pearl, and then Meng Chuan and his three companions began to explore the World Gap.

After exploring for five days, Meng Chuan and the others collected several ordinary treasures in the World Gap. Only then did they blast open the world membrane and return to Yuanchu Mountain. The 'Wind Primal Treasure' was too precious; naturally, it had to be returned to the sect as soon as possible.

Rumble! After King Zhenwu blasted open a passage, the four of them flew into the opening and returned to the Human World.

Upon their return, Meng Chuan and his three companions landed on the nameless small mountain at Yuanchu Mountain. It was late night in the Human World, with the moon hanging high in the clear, cold sky.

"Why are you all back?" Li Guan, accompanied by the illusory figures of Qin Wu and Luo Tang, instantly appeared, looking at Meng Chuan and his companions with surprise.

"We encountered the emergence of a 'Wind Primal Treasure' in the World Gap," King Zhenwu said with a smile. "All of us, including the many Marquis Godfiends from Two World Island's Black Sand Grotto-Heaven, tried one by one, but none could acquire the treasure. In the end, it was Junior Brother Meng who acted... and successfully seized this primal treasure."

"A Wind Primal Treasure?" Li Guan, Qin Wu, and Luo Tang all showed expressions of delight.

"Before this primal treasure fully emerged, it was protected by primal power. Once it appeared, a Wind Primal Treasure is incredibly agile, difficult even for an Emperor to capture. You actually acquired it?" Li Guan was quite excited.

"Well done," Qin Wu said, smiling at Meng Chuan.

"Knowing it was a Wind Primal Treasure, I gave it my all. My luck was pretty good," Meng Chuan said with a smile. As the sect master, Meng Chuan was well aware that Yuanchu Mountain's foundational treasure, the 'Heaven and Earth Hall,' was in urgent need of a 'Wind Primal Treasure.' Given Patriarch Cang Yuan's status back then, when he collected primal treasures, many powerful foreign entities offered their homeland's primal treasures in exchange for benefits. However, 'Wind Primal Treasures' tend to slip away during the birth of a world, making them much harder to find. Patriarch Cang Yuan himself only discovered six in his lifetime; some were used to enhance the world, and over the long years since, none remain.

"Inside here is the Wind Primal Treasure, along with other ordinary treasures we found in the World Gap," Meng Chuan said, handing his spatial bracelet to Li Guan.

"Good," Li Guan replied, taking it.

"Then we'll head back," King Zhenwu said. They needed to stay in the World Gap for extended periods.

"You all go back first; Meng Chuan, stay," Li Guan instructed.

Meng Chuan felt a little perplexed. King Zhenwu and the others nodded nonetheless, blasting open the world membrane passage to return to the World Gap.

"Is there something wrong?" Meng Chuan asked, looking at the three Venerables with confusion. Fighting in the World Gap was paramount now, and the Venerables wouldn't stop him without an important reason.

Li Guan, Qin Wu, and Luo Tang exchanged glances. "There is a troublesome matter," Li Guan said, looking at Meng Chuan. "It's quite strange."

"Strange?" Meng Chuan listened intently.
