I Would Rank You Among the Top Three of All Time!

The Saint Spirit Race was born and nurtured by heaven and earth. If one emerged fully perfected, it could rival an Ancient Great Emperor.

A Saint Spirit like Cang Kong would certainly have become a Great Accomplished Saint Spirit if nothing had gone wrong in the final stage of his gestation. Invincible under heaven and upon earth, he could have been subdued only by an Ancient Great Emperor.

Cang Kong shouted, "I only spoke my mind! Once our race's supreme being emerges, everything will become clear!"

Meng Chuan smiled. "No need to wait. I'll make it clear to you now."

With that, he reached out to seize Cang Kong. His hand looked perfectly ordinary, accompanied by no strange phenomena, but Cang Kong's face went as white as a corpse. He couldn't block it! He couldn't dodge it! The cultivation he had always prided himself on meant nothing at that moment.

Just then, imperial might spread from Cang Kong, halting Meng Chuan's hand for an instant. The imperial might immediately shattered.

"Hmm? You have an Emperor Weapon too? Interesting. The Fire Saint Spirit didn't have one..."

It was useless, though. How could a single Emperor Weapon contend with a living Great Emperor?

"Great Emperor, have mercy!" a terrified voice cried out first.

"Great Emperor, stay your hand!"

Then a thunderous shout rang across the ancient starry sky.

The Great Dao's Voice resounded, and another enormous hand that blotted out the heavens reached over, trying to save Cang Kong from Meng Chuan.

Meng Chuan did not even look at the Great Accomplished Saint Spirit who had just emerged. He crushed every obstacle in his way.

"Ah!"

Cang Kong screamed and turned straight to ash. Meng Chuan seized the Emperor Weapon he had carried as well.

Looking at the palm-sized divine pot in his hand, Meng Chuan turned toward one of the many Quasi-Emperors nearby.

"The God-Refining Pot?"

"That's the Light Clan's Ancient Emperor Weapon!"

"He was the first one to speak up just now!"

"How did it end up in Cang Kong's hands? And why did he use it against the Great Emperor?"

The Light Clan's Quasi-Emperor stared at the God-Refining Pot in Meng Chuan's hand, too bitter to speak.

Cang Kong had paid an enormous price to borrow the Ancient Emperor Weapon from the Light Clan. He had originally intended to explore a Dangerous Land. The Light Clan also had a Quasi-Emperor no weaker than Cang Kong, so they had not feared he would seize their Ancient Emperor Weapon. But on the way, space-time fluctuations had drawn him here.

Who the hell could have known Cang Kong would suddenly lose his mind and provoke a Great Emperor? Did he really think an imminent Great Accomplished Saint Spirit made his backing strong enough?

These Saint Spirits were the stupidest creatures in the entire universe! They had never produced a single Great Emperor. Every time a Great Accomplished Saint Spirit emerged, they became a backdrop to highlight a Great Emperor's power, yet they still thought themselves the greatest race in the universe and looked down on everyone!

The Light Clan's Quasi-Emperor cursed the entire Saint Spirit Race in his heart.

"The Light Clan will give the Great Emperor an explanation!"

The Light Clan's Quasi-Emperor looked bitter. He was not worried that they would fail to recover their Ancient Emperor Weapon. Strictly speaking, the Light Clan had been struck by calamity out of nowhere. A Great Emperor had a Great Emperor's magnanimity and would not deliberately make things difficult for the Light Clan—unless they went looking for death themselves.

"Fellow Daoist, you are a Great Emperor, yet you killed a Saint Spirit of our race without cause. Bullying the weak with your strength—isn't that beneath the dignity of a Great Emperor?" the Great Perfection Saint Spirit said angrily as he looked at Meng Chuan.

He was a Saint Spirit who rivaled a Great Emperor. Did he not even have enough standing to protect one Quasi-Emperor?

Meng Chuan looked at the Great Perfection Saint Spirit, his expression as still as an ancient well, but his words shook the starry universe.

"You object? Keep it to yourself! He was only a Saint Spirit. I killed him, so what? What can you do to me?"

"More Saint Spirits have died by my hand on the path to becoming a Great Emperor than you imagine!"

"It wasn't easy for you to emerge fully perfected. Take care of yourself."

The Great Perfection Saint Spirit's expression changed. Meng Chuan's words showed that he did not take him seriously at all. To Meng Chuan, he was no different from the Saint Spirit who had just been killed.

Among all Saint Spirits, those nurtured in stone fetuses were considered some of the strongest.

He could also make out the faint curse clinging to Meng Chuan. The Saint Spirit Race was nurtured by heaven and earth, like heaven and earth's own children. Killing them invited misfortune.

Of course, that supposed misfortune posed almost no threat to a Great Emperor.

"Rein in your killing intent. If I sense it again, I'll kill you while I'm at it."

Meng Chuan glanced at the Stone Fetus Saint Spirit. His tone was almost careless, as though he were talking about killing a chicken.

"Meng Chuan is a little too arrogant today..." Qingyue watched him, finding his behavior rather strange.

"How dare you insult me!" the Stone Fetus Saint Spirit roared and attacked Meng Chuan.

Meng Chuan met him head-on. In an instant, the two crossed countless star regions to reach the Cosmic Frontier in another direction. Neither wanted to interfere with the formation of the Space-Time Passage.

Clang!

A sword swept toward Meng Chuan, radiating the majesty of the imperial Dao. It rang out with a crisp note that shook the universe. A Divine Stone Essence rose from the sword and crashed toward him. This was a Supreme Divine Weapon nurtured alongside the Stone Fetus Saint Spirit. It possessed a spirit of its own, and its power had reached the level of the imperial Dao.

Meng Chuan watched the Immortal Sword approach without dodging. He reached out with his left hand and caught the Supreme Divine Weapon, which was scarcely weaker than an Emperor Weapon, in his bare hand.

Then, gripping the Immortal Sword, he closed the distance and swung his Emperor Fist at the Stone Fetus Saint Spirit's brow.

Boom!

The Stone Fetus Saint Spirit had only just emerged and was boundlessly proud. Confident in his body as a Stone Fetus Saint Spirit and believing himself no weaker than the current Great Emperor, he struck with his fist and met Meng Chuan's punch head-on.

It was a world-shattering clash. That single collision destroyed vast stretches of the star sea and reduced part of the Cosmic Frontier to chaos, turning it into a land of destruction.

Flesh struck flesh, and the laws of the imperial Dao erupted without restraint. Boundless Immortal Light illuminated the universe in all ten directions, while radiant clouds and auspicious colors streaked across the cosmos. The Stone Fetus Saint Spirit's body shook violently, and he flew backward across several star regions. Meng Chuan stood where he was.

"As expected of the current Great Emperor. Too bad you still can't kill me!" the Stone Fetus Saint Spirit shouted. Though he had been sent flying, he had suffered no real injury.

Meng Chuan's expression turned a little odd. His eyes shifted, and he shouted, "What a powerful Saint Spirit! Of all Saint Spirits past and present, you must rank among the top three!"

Then Meng Chuan quietly started a livestream. How could he let a moment like this pass without the Chat Group members there to witness it?

Bibi Dong: Why did you start a livestream so quietly?

Meng Qi: I came in and saw Chang Wei beating Lai Fu.

The Ancient One: The Great Emperor's opponent doesn't look human.

Meng Chuan promptly uploaded his memories of what had happened earlier to the Chat Group.

Meng Qi: The Shrouding the Heavens World owes the Great Emperor a Golden statuette!

Meng Chuan ignored the Chat Group members. Seeing the Stone Fetus Saint Spirit charge at him, he swung his Emperor Fist and met the sword with his fist once more.

Boom!

The violent collision sounded like the opening of heaven and earth. His flesh struck the Immortal Sword with a ringing clang.

The Stone Fetus Saint Spirit's primordial spirit broke free of his body and blotted out the sky. At the same time, his physical body erupted with power, shattering the vacuum. His surging vitality overwhelmed the universe as he leaped toward Meng Chuan.

His primordial spirit and physical body reached Meng Chuan together. In that instant, both rose to their utmost limits and merged into one again. A force like the creation of heaven and earth erupted before Meng Chuan!

This was the Saint Spirit's Innate Divine Art! Its power was unmatched and could contend with a Great Emperor's techniques!

Meng Chuan used Nine Secrets: Dou with one hand, forming an ancient starry sky that pressed down and collided with the Stone Fetus Saint Spirit's Peerless Secret Art.

Boom!

The universe seemed to lose all sound. Far beyond countless star regions, the Quasi-Emperors watching with their heavenly eyes bled from both eyes, struck by the backlash of the imperial Dao's laws!

The two fought on without pause, destroying countless lifeless star regions and reducing them to chaos.

After a while, the Quasi-Emperors watching the battle were baffled.

"This..."

"Why is the Great Emperor fighting with only one hand?"

"And the Stone Fetus Saint Spirit is still getting beaten back. That's absurd!"

"Didn't he say this Saint Spirit ranked among the top three of all time?"

The Quasi-Emperors looked at one another. A Saint Spirit ranked among the top three of all time, yet the Great Emperor could thrash him with one hand? Then what did that make the Great Emperor?

Number one of all time?
