Chapter 274 - Frozen into Nothingness (1/2)

After refining Origins Returning baneful aura completely, it was already late at night.

Liu Qiyue leaned on the bed headboard as she read dossiers. She always waited for Meng Chuan before they slept together.

Liu Qiyue looked up. “Ah Chuan.”

Meng Chuan walked into the room, took off his coat, and got on the bed. He leaned towards his wife.

Liu Qiyue couldn’t help but lean against her husband and whispered, “You refined the baneful aura completely?”.

“Yes, it’s just as I expected,” said Meng Chuan with a smile. “The Origins Returning baneful aura I received from Master was just a little more than needed.”

“Master was afraid that you wouldn’t have enough, so he naturally gave you more,” said Liu Qiyue, “How potent is your baneful aura domain after refining Origins returning baneful aura? Let me take a look.”

Meng Chuan extended his finger. A dark-cyan gas appeared on his fingertip. It looked like an ordinary, mysterious dark-cyan gas that did not affect the surroundings at all.

Liu Qiyue’s Darkstar domain was constantly active. Thus, she could sense a horrifying sensation coming from the dark-cyan gas. She couldn’t help but wrap her Quintessential Essence around her body to protect herself. Her instincts told her to be ready to cast Phoenix’s Nirvana at any given moment. She looked at the dark-cyan gas in horror. “Ah Chuan, it clearly doesn’t emit any power, but I can sense how terrifying it is. It’s like I’ll immediately die once it touches me. I wouldn’t even have time to cast Phoenix’s Nirvana.”

“Even Regis Godfiends have to rely on their Seamless domains to protect themselves. They won’t dare to touch it,” said Meng Chuan. “Even so, although they can withstand the baneful aura invading their body, their strength will be greatly reduced.”

“Impressive,” exclaimed Liu Qiyue.

“It’s considered the strongest baneful aura among Regis Godfiends,” said Meng Chuan. “Most of my combat strength now stems from it.”

Liu Qiyue said, “Ah Chuan, you’re a Marquis Godfiend, but you’re already so powerful…” “Firstly, I’m powerful because of my physical body mystic technique. I have an extremely tenacious vitality. In addition, I can refine baneful auras with my Lightning Devastator Fiend Body. Secondly, Master gave this Origins Returning baneful aura to me. This is a mysterious baneful aura obtained from outside this world by our Archean Mountain seniors. It’s now very difficult to find Turbin Yin Specter baneful aura and Extreme Earth Frost baneful aura in this world. Also, Origins Returning baneful aura is stronger than these two baneful auras.”

One needed strength and luck to refine such a powerful baneful aura completely.

“If the Origins Returning baneful aura were to be given to others, they might not be able to refine it completely,” said Liu Qiyue with a smile.

“Yes.” Meng Chuan shook his head gently. “Unfortunately, even after refining the Origins Returning baneful aura completely, I still feel flustered when faced with the upcoming final battle.”

Liu Qiyue nodded. “In the face of war, what we can do is limited. Ah Chuan, at least you can save people across the world.”

“There are so many greater demon monarchs attacking the various parts of the world. No matter how fast I am, how many places can I save?” said Meng Chuan softly. “A million demon monarchs are about to attack; I’m but just one person. What can I do?”

“You aren’t alone. There are still Regis Godfiends and Creation Supremacies in the world,” said Liu Qiyue. “I can’t see the path ahead. I can only kill my way through,” said Meng Chuan.

Liu Qiyue looked at her husband. “I’ll always be by your side.”

Meng Chuan couldn’t help but smile as he looked at his wife. He reached out and hugged her.

Liu Qiyue leaned into Meng Chuan’s embrace. She said softly, “I wonder if we will be able to see the day the human race wins the war.”

“I also wish to see that day,” Meng Chuan said softly.

The couple did not sleep that night and just chatted. They talked about the world, Jiang State Capital, their parents, their children…

Dawn.

Meng Chuan, who had finished practicing his saber art, was having breakfast with his wife. “Chuan’er.” Meng Dajiang arrived at Lake Heart Pavilion. “Dad.” Meng Chuan and Liu Qiyue stood up.

Liu Qiyue asked, “Dad, do you want breakfast? I’ll get you a bowl.”

“I’ve already eaten.” Meng Dajiang chuckled and sat down. He seemed somewhat hesitant.

Meng Chuan smiled. “Dad, what do you have to say?”

Meng Dajiang looked at his son and whispered, “Chuan’er, I also need external materials for my cultivation. However, I don’t have much credit and can’t afford it. Therefore, I wish to borrow some credit from you.”

“You should have said so earlier. It’s such a trivial matter.” Meng Chuan and his wife, Liu Qiyue, exchanged looks. They were caught between laughter and tears.

His underground reconnaissance had to be kept a secret. Therefore, the vast majority of the public didn’t know how fast Meng Chuan earned credits. However, just providing reinforcements across the entire Great Zhou Dynasty allowed him to accumulate credit quickly; his speed at accumulating credit was comparable to a Regis Godfiend. “I want 1,030,000 credits,” said Meng Dajiang. He felt ashamed. Parents typically sacrificed everything for their children and gave them the best. He had never asked for Meng Chuan’s help all these years! However, he had no choice now. He couldn’t obtain more than a million credits elsewhere.

“Is that all? Dad, when your son is out fighting, I might kill a few demon monarchs in a stroke of good luck. The spoils of war are worth more than a million credits,” said Meng Chuan. In fact, he had been carrying out underground reconnaissance every day. He killed about 100 demon monarchs a day. The demon monarch corpses and his spoils of war earned him more than a million credits a day.

“I’ll write a letter to Archean Mountain and transfer five million credits to your name,” said Meng Chuan. “Use it for whatever you want.”

“Five million credits is too much,” said Meng Dajiang immediately. He was quite stressed about making such a request of his son for the first time. How could he accept five million credits?

“It’s not much, not much at all,” said Meng Chuan with a smile. With a flip of his hand, ink and paper appeared. He immediately began writing. The words contained his Quintessential Essence signature.
