Chapter 455: Breaking the Formation

Through the gaps in the black chains, Meng Chuan observed the endless Black River water outside and could sense the terrifying power of the formation.

Directly attacking the formation head-on would be the most foolish approach.

"Now that I've reached the Undying realm, I should be able to control more of the Bloodblade Disk's rune formation," Meng Chuan thought. The Bloodblade Disk hovered before him, his Nascent Soul's thoughts already penetrating it. The disk contained billions of intricate and mysterious runes; not to mention those faintly visible and hard to discern, there were a full 128 discernible layers of complete runes.

As his cultivation level advanced to the Undying realm, Meng Chuan's achievements in the Thunder lineage underwent a qualitative transformation.

Now, looking at these runes again, especially the shallower ones, he could understand many of them! Even if he hadn't fully comprehended them, he could grasp the relationships between different runes and knew how to activate them.

"The Cloud-Mist Dragon-Serpent movement technique is an advancement based on the Heavenly Dragon Saber," Meng Chuan mused. "With the movement technique refined, its power has also increased."

"If we were to categorize ultimate techniques..."

"The Heavenly Dragon Saber is considered a high-grade ultimate technique among those in the Undying realm. The Cloud-Mist Dragon-Serpent movement technique, however, is 'super-grade'," Meng Chuan thought. "Of course, I developed this technique based on Senior Ye Hong's foundation; Senior Ye Hong deserves half the credit for its creation."

Regarding their foundations, the Cloud-Mist Dragon-Serpent movement technique is on par with the True Martial Seven Absolutes.

The True Martial Seven Absolutes was created based on the 'Yin-Yang Art.'

The Cloud-Mist Dragon-Serpent movement technique was created based on the 'Heavenly Dragon Saber.'

Both represent the pinnacle of ultimate techniques independently created by human Godfiends in the Undying realm. While the True Martial Seven Absolutes is more comprehensive, the Cloud-Mist Dragon-Serpent movement technique specializes solely in movement! Due to its focus on movement, even in the early stages of the Undying realm, Meng Chuan's movement technique had already reached an incredible level.

Naturally, within the vast River of Spacetime, there are ultimate techniques at the Undying realm level that surpass both the True Martial Seven Absolutes and the Cloud-Mist Dragon-Serpent movement technique.

For example, "Golden Lotus Descent" is an extreme-level ultimate technique. Its grade is much higher than that of the True Martial Seven Absolutes and the Cloud-Mist Dragon-Serpent movement technique, and its creation difficulty is also significantly greater, allowing for the miracle of a Venerable transcending ranks to slay an Emperor.

"Hmm?" True Martial King, Molten Fire King, and the others watched as a flurry of bloodblades flew back from the deep void, returning to Meng Chuan's side.

Meng Chuan also looked up at the titled Godfiends before him.

"Junior Brother Meng?" True Martial King looked at Meng Chuan expectantly.

"Senior Brother, please cast your domain to block any external prying," Meng Chuan said. "Once I break the formation, Senior Brother, you must immediately engage Peacock Monarch."

"Don't worry, leave it to me," True Martial King nodded.

"King Dongning, be careful of your safety," King Thousandwood reminded him.

"King Dongning, you must be extremely cautious of the demon race's tactics." Molten Fire King, Peng Mu, and even King Anhai, all looked at Meng Chuan.

Meng Chuan bore too much responsibility; no accident could be allowed to befall him.

"Everyone, please watch," Meng Chuan said with a smile.

He then completely vanished.

In reality, he had swiftly submerged himself into the deep void.

"Completely invisible?"

"I heard that Senior Ye Hong could manifest eighty-one avatars when using the Heavenly Dragon Saber, but Meng Chuan has completely disappeared?" The titled Godfiends present were all amazed.

King Tongming also exclaimed, "I can only infiltrate the shadow world and become invisible to others by transforming into a phantom life. But King Dongning's profound mastery of the void allows him to completely immerse himself in its depths, making him invisible to all of us."

True Martial King's methods were renowned for their comprehensiveness, and though he was merely in the late stage of the Undying realm, he could clearly perceive that—

—Meng Chuan was within the deep void.

Meng Chuan stood there, in a place distinct from the normal void.

"The deep void?"

Standing there, Meng Chuan could still see the outside world, though the Black River formation, the Godfiends, and the demon monarchs appeared slightly distorted and blurry.

"True Martial King once said that in his perception, the River of Spacetime resembles a thousand-layer cake," Meng Chuan smiled. "Now, in my perception, it's quite similar; it truly feels like a colossal thousand-layer cake, with layers upon layers in the vast void... Ordinary mortals, Godfiends, and demon monarchs exist on the outermost layer. But I am submerged in a deeper layer."

It was much like the ocean.

Some creatures could only survive on its surface.

Others, however, could dive into its depths.

Meng Chuan had entered the deep void; his mastery of void allowed him to remain there effortlessly, without being repelled.

"The shallow void often intersects with the outside world, but the deep void is much harder to reach from the surface," Meng Chuan mused. A pure, powerful impact could shatter the shallow void, causing it to merge with the outside. But the deep void? It was far too difficult to affect.

Buzz, buzz, buzz.

Meng Chuan unleashed his invisible Lightning Magnetic Domain.

Twenty-four bloodblades flew out from within the Bloodblade Disk.

Clearly, with Meng Chuan's current cultivation and mastery, he could now control twenty-four bloodblades through the Bloodblade Disk's rune formation.

His defensive capabilities had also greatly improved.

"A Nascent Soul Seventh-Tribulation expert crafted this protective treasure for his disciple with great foresight. Different cultivation realms correspond to different levels of control," Meng Chuan thought. He allocated just six bloodblades for self-protection, while the remaining eighteen rapidly accelerated in circles within his Lightning Magnetic Domain.

Driven by the 'Cloud-Mist Dragon-Serpent Saber technique,' each of the eighteen bloodblades instantly reached the power level of a peak Creation realm expert.

They accelerated within the Lightning Magnetic Domain.

Round after round, they accelerated.

In just one breath, the eighteen bloodblades reached their maximum speed.

"The Lightning Magnetic Domain boosts the bloodblades' speed by thirty to forty percent, barely allowing them to achieve 'peak Creation realm' power," Meng Chuan mused. "Clearly, as the bloodblades' power increases, the acceleration effect of the Lightning Magnetic Domain becomes less pronounced."

Aside from the divine power 'Quicksand,' the assistance provided by his other divine powers was diminishing, which was unavoidable.

Nevertheless, his divine powers still enhanced a portion of the bloodblades' might.

"Go."

With a thought from Meng Chuan, who was standing in the deep void, the eighteen bloodblades, accelerated to their maximum speed, whistled out of the deep void, striking directly at the demon monarchs outside.

True Martial Domain isolated all prying, keeping the demon race unaware of what was happening within.

However, when Meng Chuan submerged himself into the deep void,

"Hmm?"

Threadmaster Saint sensed something.

Among the Godfiends and demon monarchs present, its mastery of the void lineage was only slightly inferior to True Martial King's. Although it couldn't 'see' Meng Chuan's form, it could vaguely sense a life form in the deep void.

"Everyone, be careful," Threadmaster Saint transmitted. "A Godfiend seems to have infiltrated the deep void."

"Infiltrated the deep void? Who?" Peacock Monarch frowned.

"I don't know," Threadmaster Saint shook its head, while simultaneously extending its Nine-Life Cocoon threads around the eighteen Black River Guards, carefully protecting each one.

"How could a Godfiend infiltrate the deep void?"

The eighteen Black River Guards also grew somewhat nervous; an unseen enemy was terrifying.

"Threadmaster, protect the eighteen Black River Guards," Peacock Monarch said.

"There are eighteen of them; I can only do my best," Threadmaster Saint replied, deeply uneasy. The Nine-Life Cocoon was strongest for self-preservation, where the secret treasure itself could fully envelop the body. But protecting allies was much weaker; spreading numerous threads over tens of miles to protect eighteen individuals? It lacked confidence.

Peacock Monarch nodded and said, "Don't panic, everyone. Godfiends have their unique strengths. If this Godfiend can infiltrate the deep void, their means of attack might be weaker."

No sooner had the words left its mouth,

"Oh no!" Threadmaster Saint's expression changed dramatically. It could sense a terrifying force emerging from the deep void into the outside world.

The eighteen Black River Guards, controlling the formation, also exerted suppression on the void, and finally sensed the arrival of the terrifying force.

However, it was too late!

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Streaks of light burst forth from the deep void. The moment they appeared in the outside world, they were already mere feet from a goat demon Black River Guard. These streaks of light instantly bombarded it, and the Black River Guard's eyes widened, unable to react.

In what felt like an instant, the Black River Guard exploded with a boom!
