Complete Micro-particle True Meaning

Time passed, and before long, another three days went by.

At this point, Zhou Zheng, who had been lying on the grassy field beneath the mountain, finally moved again.

He raised a hand to block his view of the sky. After staring blankly for a moment, a smile suddenly appeared on his face.

"This is the Micro-particle True Meaning!"

Zhou Zheng smiled. The next moment, an invisible force rapidly spread out from him, forming an immensely vast Micro-particle Domain in the blink of an eye.

Within this domain, every invisible Micro-particle was like a deadly blade, capable of inflicting unimaginably terrifying damage upon any lifeform within it.

Though it was a large-scale domain attack, its single-target lethality at every point was likely even stronger than the full-force strike of an offensive Third-grade True Meaning.

Grass-cutting Divine Skill!

Zhou Zheng gave this move his assessment. Against this domain, anyone without a sufficiently powerful body would probably be utterly destroyed by the invisible Micro-particles in an instant.

Even a Demigod might be severely injured outright.

Of course, that would have to be a very ordinary Demigod. Slightly stronger Demigods either possessed high-grade True Meanings or had condensed an Original Divine Heart of grade four or above, so they would not be so easily killed in seconds.

I never expected the Proto Micro-particle True Meaning to evolve into a True Meaning before the Proto Time Deceleration True Meaning. Zhou Zheng was somewhat surprised. He had not anticipated this situation, but upon thinking it over, it was not particularly strange.

His Mystery of Time had only condensed into a Proto True Meaning one or two years earlier than the Micro-particle Profound Mystery.

When Zhou Zheng comprehended the Micro-particle Profound Mystery, he had the Special Lifeform Corpse as a reference, whereas he could only comprehend the Mystery of Time from nothing.

Moreover, Zhou Zheng's talent in Micro-particles was indeed strong enough. Thus, the Micro-particle Profound Mystery, which had condensed into a Proto True Meaning later, had instead become a complete True Meaning first.

Of course, Zhou Zheng estimated that his Proto Time Deceleration True Meaning was not far from becoming Time Deceleration True Meaning either.

If he was lucky, he might succeed before the next mission began.

As Zhou Zheng pondered this, two figures suddenly flew down from the mountaintop.

"Captain!"

Feng Zhuhong and Mo Zitong greeted Zhou Zheng.

"It seems both of your missions went smoothly this time!" Zhou Zheng said with a smile. He knew that the two of them had gone on another mission earlier. Now that both had returned unscathed, with even stronger auras than before, it was obvious that their mission had gone well.

"Not only did it go smoothly, but Sister Zhuhong also grasped the Shadow Space Proto True Meaning!" Mo Zitong said.

"Shadow Space?" Zhou Zheng was slightly startled.

"I only broke through suddenly under pressure during a crisis. Otherwise, this mission probably would not have been so easy to complete!" Feng Zhuhong explained. Zhou Zheng nodded thoughtfully.

If either Mo Zitong or Herk grasped the Shadow Space True Meaning, it would greatly improve the squad.

But Feng Zhuhong... could a Mage become an assassin?

This Shadow Space could probably only be used by Feng Zhuhong herself to preserve her life.

The three chatted for a while before Zhou Zheng suddenly asked, "Herk still hasn't returned?"

"No!"

Feng Zhuhong and Mo Zitong both shook their heads.

Hearing that, Zhou Zheng frowned slightly.

Earlier, Mo Zitong had suggested finding a permanent base for the squad. After some selection, they had chosen this place.

With the mountain range named Black Wind Divine Mountain at its center, Feng Zhuhong had set up various arrays throughout a hundred-mile radius. They had officially made this place the territory of the Black Wind Squad.

Although Herk usually did not like coming here, he would still visit once after every mission.

During this period, it had not just been Feng Zhuhong and Mo Zitong who had gone on missions. Herk had gone as well.

The missions assigned by the Temporal Temple varied in length. The longest would not exceed a month, while the shortest might end within half an hour.

And Solo Missions generally were not especially complicated, so logically, they should not last particularly long.

"It hasn't been a month yet. Let's wait a little longer!" Zhou Zheng said. If Herk still did not appear after a month, then he had probably truly met with an accident during his mission.

Honestly, Zhou Zheng did not want anything to happen to Herk right now.

After all, if Herk died, the squad would have to take in someone new. If the newcomer did not follow orders, the next mission might become troublesome.

Time passed swiftly. Zhou Zheng familiarized himself with the Micro-particle True Meaning he had just grasped, and nearly another ten days soon went by.

On this day, Zhou Zheng, who was undergoing Quiet Cultivation beneath the mountain, suddenly opened his eyes.

Whoosh!

A stream of black qi tore through the sky at high speed and landed before him in the blink of an eye.

"Captain, I'm back!"

A rather unpleasant smile appeared on Herk's face.

"What happened?" Zhou Zheng looked at Herk and discovered that his aura was extremely unstable. He must have suffered severe injuries earlier.

"I got a little greedy during the mission."

Herk did not say much, and Zhou Zheng did not wish to ask further. No matter what, it was good enough that he had returned alive.

"After you finish this mission, there will only be three years until the group mission. Spend this time recovering properly, and try your best to improve your strength. Mo Zitong has already grasped the Illusion True Meaning, and Feng Zhuhong has also grasped the Shadow Space Proto True Meaning. Think about it yourself!" Zhou Zheng said calmly, and the pressure in Herk's heart immediately soared.

Demons were naturally born with all sorts of talents.

However, different Demons possessed different talents. Based on their strength, Demon talents were divided into three tiers: lower, middle, and upper.

Unfortunately, Herk possessed a lower-tier talent.

His talent was merely the ordinary ability to increase his strength, speed, and recovery to a certain extent in battle. It was simply not worth mentioning.

Previously, after Herk broke through to the Saint Level, he relied on the strength of a Demon's body and was likely comparable to mid- or even late-stage Saint Level Transcendent beings. No matter what, he had been far stronger than Feng Zhuhong had been before.

But now that Feng Zhuhong had grasped a Third-grade Proto True Meaning, that was hard to say.

Moreover, with an ample supply of Origin Stones, there was not much of a bottleneck from the Flying Heaven level to the Saint Level. With enough accumulated time, a breakthrough came easily.

Take Zhou Zheng, for example. His absorption speed for Origin Stones was extremely fast. With his previous mission and this mission combined, only a little over twenty years had passed, yet he had advanced from the initial Flying Heaven level to the initial Saint Level.

Even if Feng Zhuhong was slower, she would probably break through to the Saint Level after at most two more missions.

By then, Herk would truly become the weakest member.

And the weakest were still easily eliminated.
