Chapter 370 - Fifth-Level Essence Soul (1/2)

After coming back from the stroll, Meng Chuan went to the study to paint. On the unfolded piece of canvas, Meng Chuan first drew the peach blossoms. The dark-brown twisted branches and leaves were filled with vibrance. The peach blossoms were beautiful. Some of the peach blossoms had completely bloomed, while some were still flower buds.

The flower pistils seemed to tremble slightly in the breeze. The painting was more lively than what he had seen in reality. Paintings were like this—they originated from reality, but they exceeded reality. Then, he began painting the person. Painting peach blossoms was a display of excellent technique. Painting a human was the soul underlying it! The finis.h.i.+ng touch! A beauty stood in front of the peach blossoms as she gently sniffed the peach blossoms’ fragrance. She looked even more beautiful than the flowers.

“What are you painting? Liu Qiyue—who had been practicing her archery for two hours-came to the study. She came to Meng Chuan’s side and took a look. She immediately saw the beautiful woman in the painting. Wasn’t that her? Wasn’t this the peach blossom thicket they had just walked past today?

Liu Qiyue found it sweet as she couldn’t help but look at her husband.

Meng Chuan glanced at his wife. The couple looked at each other and smiled.

“I won’t disturb you. Continue painting. After painting it, let me store it well.” As Liu Qiyue spoke, she walked to another desk and happily began grinding the ink. She was about to practice her calligraphy. She couldn’t help but laugh when she was grinding the ink. Every year, Meng Chuan completed a painting for his wife. Liu Qiyue would put the paintings away carefully and take them out when she was free to take a look at them. She could feel her husband’s feelings for her in the paintings. Sometimes, she was glad… Although the war loomed over them, she felt very grateful that she could be husband and wife with Meng Chuan.

Meng Chuan was naturally immersed in his painting. He had interacted with his wife for too long. They had known each other since they were young, and they had supported each other for many years.

Every day, he searched for demon monarchs, exhausting himself. His wife personally prepared breakfast in the morning, and his wife would wait for him at night. This made Meng Chuan even more grateful to his wife for her sacrifices. His wife could have arranged for the servants to prepare the meals, but she insisted on doing it personally. Meng Chuan could sense his wife’s care for him. It was truly a blessing to have a soulmate in this b.l.o.o.d.y war.

As Meng Chuan painted, his Essence Soul constantly emitted a spiritual glow. Most of the time, Meng Chuan’s Essence Soul would transform when he painted his wife. However, the degree of transformation varied. This time, it was clearly more intense.

Boom!

Meng Chuan stopped painting. He felt his Essence Soul begin to undergo a qualitative change. It was about to reach a new level. It’s beginning to break through? A fifth-level Essence Soul? Meng Chuan felt mixed emotions. He obtained a fourth-level Essence Soul when he was 48. Today, he had finally reached the fifth-level of Essence Soul—the Possession stage-at 58. Most demon sages and Creation Supremacies possessed fifth-level Essence Souls. For example, King Calm Sea was temporarily unable to reach the Creation realm because his Essence Soul was stuck at the fourth level.

It only took Meng Chuan ten years to attain a fifth-level Essence Soul.

These ten years were the most tragic ten years of the war between humans and demons. The humans had completely abandoned all prefecture and county cities. The ancient G.o.dfiends woke up and protected the large cities with all their might. As for the vast majority of the commoners, they could only survive in the wilderness with great difficulty.

They were also hunted by demon monarchs. The patrolling G.o.dfiends disregarded their lives and patrolled the forests and wilderness, protecting all of humanity. Dozens of Marquis G.o.dfiends had died in battle all across the world.

The World Gap had appeared, connecting the human world and the Demon Realm, causing the two worlds to become even closer. More and more experts entered the human world. One by one, demon sages that had carried out possession arrived. Xue Feng died at the hands of a demon sage.

I now have a fifth-level Essence Soul. I believe it won’t take long for me to reach the Blood Droplet realm. I hope I can completely resolve the threat of a million demon monarchs. Without a million demon monarchs in the human world, the war will be much easier for us with our top combat strength. After his Essence Soul stabilized, Meng Chuan continued painting. After dinner, he continued painting for four more hours, completing the artwork in one session.
