Chapter 443: Father and Son Confrontation

"An'er has broken through?" Meng Chuan was overjoyed.

His son had gone up the mountain to cultivate at Yuanchu Mountain when he was thirteen. Over the years, wars with the demon race had come in waves. Although things had settled down after the threat of a million demon kings was resolved, he himself had been constantly fighting in the World Gap, resulting in too few meetings with his son.

By his reckoning, his son was now thirty-two years old.

"Becoming a Marquis Godfiend at thirty-two," Meng Chuan chuckled, "He's much stronger than I was."

"You are different from him. You descended the mountain early to fight the demon race, and while you were on the mountain, you only received a special legacy for cultivating the physical body," Qin Wu's projection said with a smile. "Your son, however, has received a series of opportunities and guidance left by Ancestor Cang Yuan, which are hundreds or even thousands of times better than the opportunities you had."

Meng Chuan smiled. The more outstanding his son was, the happier he felt. What father doesn't wish for his son to become a dragon?

"For the past eight years, aside from the Anhai King incident, the world has been very peaceful," Qin Wu's projection stated. "Therefore, the pressure on the garrisons in various cities has greatly reduced. With Meng An becoming a Marquis Godfiend, we have also summoned your wife, Liu Qiyue, to Yuanchu Mountain, so your family can spend more time together."

"Good, thank you, Master," Meng Chuan replied. He, too, missed his wife and children.

"Don't mention thanks; it is you who have constantly made sacrifices," Qin Wu sighed.

Meng Chuan sighed, "Our generation of Godfiends has at least seen the turning point of the war and glimpsed dawn. For over eight hundred years prior, more than a hundred thousand Godfiends across the world died in battle, and even King Godfiends went into slumber, intending to awaken and continue fighting in the future. Many generations of Godfiends fought their entire lives, yet could not see hope even at death's door. Compared to them, we are quite fortunate."

Qin Wu nodded slightly, then smiled, "Go on, your wife and children are on Jingming Peak."

"Alright," Meng Chuan nodded, and with a flash, he departed.

Jingming Peak.

It was where Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue's cultivation cave dwelling had been when they trained on the mountain. Now, their children were there as well.

From high in the sky, Meng Chuan instantly spotted Liu Qiyue, Meng An, and Meng You sitting together in the cave dwelling's courtyard, drinking tea, eating snacks, and chatting.

Liu Qiyue sensed something and looked up, instantly seeing Meng Chuan flying down from above, a joyful expression appearing on her face.

"A-Chuan," Liu Qiyue stood up.

Meng Chuan also descended.

"Father," Meng An and Meng You also rose, looking at Meng Chuan with excitement and joy.

"A-Chuan, you've actually returned!" Liu Qiyue walked over, happily saying, "I thought you wouldn't have time to come back."

"The World Gap is relatively peaceful now; the demon race and we King Godfiends haven't started fighting again. There, we mainly cultivate, and incidentally, pick up some treasures," Meng Chuan explained with a smile. At the same time, he looked at his children. His son, Meng An, had a sharp aura and much stronger presence, while his daughter, Meng You, was more reserved and serene, currently remaining at the Great Sun Godfiend stage.

"You're both doing well," Meng Chuan praised with satisfaction.

"Father, please don't praise me. Meng An is much stronger than I am," Meng You said with a smile.

Meng An humbly replied, "I just had some luck."

"Hahaha, An'er, have you decided on your Marquis title?" Meng Chuan asked with a laugh as he sat down. His daughter, Meng You, immediately poured him a cup of tea. Meng Chuan smiled at his daughter.

"I've already told Yuanchu Mountain; it will be Feather Dragon Marquis," Meng An replied.

"Feather Dragon Marquis?" Meng Chuan was surprised. "Is there any special meaning?"

Meng An hesitated for a moment, then gently shook his head, "I just want this title."

Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue exchanged glances. Both husband and wife felt their son might have some secrets, but he was already thirty-two and had become a Marquis Godfiend. As parents, there was no need to pry too much.

The family of four sat together, drinking tea, eating snacks, and chatting.

"For the past eight years, the world has been much more peaceful overall. Many ordinary people from the wilderness have migrated to areas just outside the major cities, settling near them," Liu Qiyue said. "As a result, many settlements have appeared around each major city, and with the threat of the demon race gone, people's lives have greatly improved."

Meng Chuan nodded slightly. "This is only temporary. To achieve complete peace, some threats still need to be resolved."

The threat of the World Gap was imminent. After resolving this threat, only the 'world entrance' threat would remain. World entrances expand gradually over time, and in the future, as more large-scale entrances appear, the pressure will increase. However, as long as a 'Demon Saint-level world entrance' doesn't emerge, the human world can be confident in its defense! By holding the world entrances, the human world can maintain peace. Once the two worlds gradually move away from each other, the pressure will continuously lessen.

Whether a 'Demon Saint-level world entrance' would appear in the future, no one knew; it depended purely on luck. The demon race was unwilling to leave everything to chance, so the 'War of the World Gap' would certainly be fought at any cost.

"A-Chuan," Liu Qiyue said with a slight smile, "An'er here finds it hard to find a suitable opponent these days. Looking for demons? There are no demons to be found in the world. Looking for King Godfiends? Which city a King Godfiend guards is a secret. My archery skills aren't suitable for close combat with him, nor am I suitable to guide him."

"Oh?" Meng Chuan looked at his son.

Meng An looked at his father with anticipation in his eyes, then stood up and bowed, saying, "Please give me some pointers, Father."

"Although An'er has just become a Marquis Godfiend, he possesses strength comparable to a King," Liu Qiyue said. "A-Chuan, you should also be careful."

"No wonder it's hard to find a suitable opponent," Meng Chuan said, rising. "Come on, let's go to the training ground."

"Yes," Meng An was very excited.

Soon.

At the cave dwelling's training ground, Liu Qiyue and Meng You stood by the side, watching.

"Father, be careful," Meng An said, holding a silver long spear, his aura sharp.

"Come," Meng Chuan stood opposite him, completely at ease.

Boom.

Meng An's figure moved, his entire being seeming to merge with his long spear. A dazzling spear light distorted the void and directly thrust towards Meng Chuan. Meng Chuan stood there, nodding slightly. "To possess King-level strength right after becoming a Marquis Godfiend is truly remarkable. I only barely achieved King Godfiend combat power after cultivating the 'Immortal Body' and only gained truly strong abilities after cultivating the 'Cold Fiend'."

The terrifying spear light thrust towards Meng Chuan, but the closer it got, the more it encountered a powerful repulsive force.

A faint gloom lingered around Meng Chuan.

The closer one got to Meng Chuan, the greater the repulsive force.

When the spear reached three feet from Meng Chuan, it completely stopped, unable to approach any further.

"Huh?" Meng An was taken aback.

"This is the Immeasurable Domain," Meng Chuan explained. "It's a technique possessed by every King Godfiend. Of course, the strength of the Immeasurable Domain varies among different King Godfiends."

Meng Chuan's Blooddrop-level physical body allowed his Dantian space to reach its peak. His fifth-level Soul and peak Dharma Domain state made Meng Chuan's True Essence incredibly pure.

In terms of the 'Immeasurable Domain,' Meng Chuan was one to two times stronger than typical peak King Godfiends. When relying solely on the Immeasurable Domain, only attacks from the peak King-level had a chance of touching Meng Chuan, and even then, their power would be greatly reduced. Of course, when fighting opponents of the 'Nine Abyss Demon Saint' or 'Thread Saint Master' level, the protective effect of the Immeasurable Domain was negligible.

"The Immeasurable Domain is so strong," Meng An said, astonished.

"Your spear strike only possesses the strength of an ordinary King Godfiend. A normal peak King Godfiend could block it with just their Immeasurable Domain," Meng Chuan chuckled. "Alright, I'll now withdraw the defense of my Immeasurable Domain. Use your full strength and let me see the power you've cultivated all these years."

"Yes," Meng An understood the difference, but he felt that despite cultivating for over thirty years less than his father, he could still give him some 'surprises.'
