Chapter 538: Finally Arrives

Meng Chuan returned to the area with a sixtyfold time flow, minimizing the impact of the chaotic void.

"Meng Chuan."

Peng Huang clearly saw Meng Chuan sitting cross-legged in the darkness, and his heart was filled with considerable anger.

This Meng Chuan was the biggest obstacle in their conquest of Cangyuan Realm! He was the strongest individual to emerge in Cangyuan Realm in over nine hundred years, having thwarted the plan to hunt down millions of human demon monarchs, ruined the world-gap attack strategy, and now presented the greatest hindrance to conquering Cangyuan Realm via the demon saint channel.

"If we can't completely kill him, then we'll directly invade Cangyuan Realm." Peng Huang made his decision, gazing at Meng Chuan from afar, his anger intensifying. "Hiding deep within the chaotic void, barely clinging to life with the help of a treasure? Let's see if you can keep hiding once we enter Cangyuan Realm."

Meanwhile, Meng Chuan continued to meditate quietly in the distant darkness.

In the Demon Imperial Palace of the Demon Realm, within a hidden hall, there was a pool of azure liquid containing a colossal white egg. Emperor Xinghe and Lady Xuanyue silently guarded it by the poolside.

With a creak, the hall door opened, and Peng Huang walked in.

"Peng Huang."

"Brother Peng."

Lady Xuanyue and Emperor Xinghe immediately stood up to greet him.

"How is it?" Peng Huang peered closely at the enormous white egg in the pool.

"Everything is normal," Emperor Xinghe replied. "Given Demon Saint Yingfeng's mid-Heaven-Earth realm strength, we're confident the transformation will succeed."

Peng Huang looked at the white egg, remaining silent for a moment before saying, "The plan to have a Fourth Tribulation Realm mighty one kill Meng Chuan has failed. Meng Chuan, using a special treasure, can delve to extreme depths within the chaotic void, beyond the reach of even a Fourth Tribulation Realm mighty one."

"A Fourth Tribulation Realm mighty one couldn't kill him?" Emperor Xinghe and Lady Xuanyue asked in disbelief.

"Who knows what unique treasure he obtained from Patriarch Cangyuan's trove," Peng Huang said. "Perhaps that particular treasure is exceptionally adept at deep dives into chaotic voids."

"After all, it's the treasure of a Seventh Tribulation Realm mighty one," Xinghe and Xuanyue acknowledged.

When scheming for a Seventh Tribulation Realm mighty one's treasure, any unexpected outcome is possible.

However, treasures rely on their wielder, and relying on the demon race's far greater strength compared to humans, Peng Huang and the others remained confident.

"Therefore, our only option is a full-scale assault through the demon saint channel," Peng Huang said, looking at the massive white egg in the pool. "If the transformation fails, our chances of a successful assault are slim."

"Demon Saint Yingfeng already possesses the 'Fengcang' special lifeblood, and has reached the mid-Heaven-Earth realm; success is guaranteed," Lady Xuanyue stated.

"Yes, it's bound to succeed," Emperor Xinghe agreed.

Of the three Heaven-Earth realm demon saints this time, the other two were auxiliary to Demon Saint Yingfeng, who was the primary force.

"As long as it's a life transformation, there's always a possibility of failure," Peng Huang said calmly. "Of course, given its realm and inherent bloodline, the success rate for this transformation should be 99%."

With high certainty and the highest realm, it was natural to cultivate him.

Days passed.

Over two months after the failed assassination attempt on Meng Chuan.

"Crack, crack, crack..."

In the hall, the liquid in the pool had turned transparent, and cracks appeared on the surface of the colossal white egg, causing Emperor Xinghe and Lady Xuanyue to watch with tension.

The hall door burst open, and Peng Huang appeared, staring at the cracking white egg.

Fragments of the eggshell fell in all directions, revealing a giant white bird with crimson eyes. Its soft white feathers shimmered as it surveyed its surroundings, then its body transformed into the likeness of Demon Saint Yingfeng.

"Greetings, Your Majesty. Greetings, two Mighty Ones," Demon Saint Yingfeng said humbly.

"How is it?" Peng Huang asked, excitement in his eyes.

"I have fully transformed into a special life-form, the divine bird 'Fengcang'," Demon Saint Yingfeng replied with excitement.

This was considered a relatively powerful special life-form.

After completely transitioning from the demon race to a special life-form, he would follow the cultivation path of special life-forms.

Once his realm was sufficient, he could reach his adult form, equivalent to the Mighty One level, by virtue of his bloodline.

"I had already reached the mid-Heaven-Earth realm," Demon Saint Yingfeng stated. "As long as I have enough extraterrestrial Yuan Crystals, I can rapidly grow into my 'adult form'."

"According to the plan," Peng Huang nodded, "you should reach the limit before becoming an 'adult form' without rushing to break through, maintaining your Venerable-level life stage... only breaking through to your adult form after entering the human world through the demon saint channel."

"Even if I reach my limit and then break through in the human world," Demon Saint Yingfeng said, "even with enough extraterrestrial Yuan Crystals, it would still take me at least the time it takes to brew a cup of tea to fully transform into my adult form."

"Don't worry, everything is according to plan," Peng Huang assured him. "After you enter Cangyuan Realm, you will first consolidate your position. Only after you reach your adult form will the full assault begin."

Demon Saint Yingfeng nodded slightly.

"Yingfeng, much depends on you this time," Emperor Xinghe said with a faint smile.

"The other two demon saints will also fully assist you," Lady Xuanyue added, her voice filled with anticipation.

Although they had also done their best to cultivate the other two Heaven-Earth realm demon saints, Peng Huang was ultimately only a Third Tribulation Realm mighty one. The treasures obtained from the Demon Ancestor's Cave, though numerous, were limited. The current cultivation plan for the three Heaven-Earth realm demon saints was already the most powerful strategy Peng Huang could implement with his available resources.

The demon saint channel had opened in spring, and now, it was already winter.

Luotang Pass.

The 139-mile-long demon saint channel was entirely enveloped by formations, which Meng Chuan controlled alone.

One person, guarding one channel!

And all the human Godfiends placed immense trust in Meng Chuan; only he could defend the 'demon saint channel'!

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh" — formation flags were planted all around the demon saint channel, flapping fiercely in the wind. Under the storm, large snowflakes drifted down.

Meng Chuan sat cross-legged on the snowy ground, gazing at the massive world entrance in the distance. His chaotic void True Yuan had even permeated the entrance, extending to the demon realm side, where it was met with resistance from the demon realm's formations! Clearly, the demon realm had also set up formations at the other end of the channel.

Meng Chuan, still in the 'Chaotic Void Realm', was still considered a Venerable-level life-form, so his power could penetrate the entrance without hindrance.

"The snow is getting heavier, just like at Fengxue Pass," Meng Chuan murmured, looking at the pure white world, and thought of Fengxue Pass.

At Fengxue Pass, it snowed for more than half the year.

He and his wife Qiyue had spent a long time there.

"Qiyue, the demon saint channel has appeared; the final battle is imminent." As Meng Chuan thought of his wife, a slight ripple disturbed his otherwise dead-still mind.

Clearly, his state of mind had not yet completely settled into oblivion.

"This battle will also be the most important one in my life." Meng Chuan waited, then closed his eyes to continue familiarizing himself with his secret treasures, transparent pearls suspended around him.

These thirteen pearls were the 'Thirteen Universe Pearls,' a Seventh Tribulation Realm secret treasure from the Yuanchu Mountain treasury.

Meng Chuan had once obtained the treasures left by Senior Pang Ming, among which the strongest was a Seventh Tribulation Realm secret treasure.

However, compared to the treasures left by Patriarch Cangyuan, they were far inferior. Many treasures Meng Chuan simply wasn't qualified to use. According to Patriarch Cangyuan's rules, the higher Meng Chuan's realm, the more and stronger treasures he could obtain from the treasury. Even something like the 'Bloodblade Disc' was just a very minor item among them.

This time, in preparation for the war, and since Meng Chuan would not take these treasures out of Cangyuan Realm, with the consent of all 'Order Bearers' and confirmation from the three Guardian Gods, Meng Chuan was allowed to choose ten treasures from the Lightning lineage.

Treasures of the Lightning lineage... Patriarch Cangyuan had left many, including one Eighth Tribulation Realm lightning lineage secret treasure, but Meng Chuan didn't use it this time; his realm was too far off to fully utilize it.

This time, he chose three 'Seventh Tribulation Realm secret treasures,' five 'Sixth Tribulation Realm secret treasures,' and two 'grand formations.'

After all, he possessed a group of 'Essence Soul Avatars' that could perfectly manage grand formations.

"Hmm?"

Meng Chuan suddenly felt something. His chaotic void True Yuan, which had permeated the world entrance, was disturbed. He stared at the entrance, and his five other Essence Soul Avatars, hidden within the surrounding formations, also turned their gaze to the world entrance. "Is it finally time?"
