Archean Eon Art c1-766

  Due to the robe being a protective treasure, it was quite expensive. Eternal Tower bought it for 500 Outer Realm Essence Crystals.

  After handing over the robe, he left with Myriad Flower Realm and 180 Outer Realm Essence Crystals. Meng Chuan left Eternal Tower delighted. I’ve bought everything!

  It was safest to dispose of goods at Eternal Tower.

  After all, two Sixth Tribulation Eminences were Eminence Pang Ming’s mortal enemies! A Sixth Tribulation Eminence didn’t have the right to make Eternal Tower expose their customers’ information. Furthermore, Eternal Tower wouldn’t investigate every customer’s true identity. This was to maintain Eternal Tower’s credibility in the outer realm, allowing them to continue doing business.

  After returning to his cave abode, Meng Chuan quickly entered a chamber.

  With a wave of his hand, he released a light-emitting star into the chamber. This tiny star was extremely beautiful. It was crystalline, but in reality, it contained Myriad Flower Realm.

  Swoosh.

  The dazzling star remained suspended in the middle of the chamber. Meng Chuan had already entered Myriad Flower Realm.

  Myriad Flower Realm. Meng Chuan looked around the grotto-heaven. The grotto-heaven was filled with flowers and plants. They were very beautiful. Of course, the remaining flowers and plants were all ordinary. All the precious flowers had been plucked and removed.

  He landed on the grass and sat cross-legged. With a flip of his hand, he took out the Primordial Stone.

  Meng Chuan looked at the round Primordial Stone in his palm. Primordial Stone… The moment he took it out, the Chaos Hole in his dantian once again let out a greedy yearning for it. His Chaos Hole wanted to devour it.

  Chapter 512 - Primordial Stone Transformation

  Meng Chuan carefully examined the Primordial Stone.

  He couldn’t find any runes on the small piece of rock despite employing every mean at his disposal.

  When Meng Chuan attained a seventh-level Essence Soul, he gained microscopic vision. Even a tiny particle could appear bigger than a Grand Yang Star. However, when Meng Chuan looked at the Primordial Stone, its surface didn’t change at all despite it being magnified by a billion-fold! Looking at it had him making the same conclusion as feeling the Primordial Stone in his palm-it was smooth!

  There were no blemishes on the surface, nor any runes. It was also unbelievably tough. A Seventh Tribulation Eminence could use a Grand Yang Star-which spanned over 50 million kilometers—as a toy. However, even after attacking at full strength, they still wouldn’t be able to damage the Primordial Stone.

  Primordial Stones even had the Eternal characteristic. This meant that even time couldn’t wear it down.

  My dantian’s Chaos Hole is extremely eager to devour it. Meng Chuan held the Primordial Stone and attempted to absorb its strength. However, he was unable to absorb any energy from it, even when he used his Chaos Hole Quintessential Essence and Power of Essence Soul.

  Is my dantian’s chaos hole to devour it directly?

  His body could instantly fuse back together after disintegrating, so Meng Chuan wasn’t worried about the danger. However, the Primordial Stone was extremely precious. He was also afraid that bad changes would occur to his Chaos Hole if it did devour the stone directly. After all, the Chaos Hole was his Chaos Hole realm’s core…

  Meng Chuan used all his means to examine the Primordial Stone for seven consecutive days.

  “Eternal characteristic,” muttered Meng Chuan softly. “I’ve tried everything. I’ve placed it in an accelerated time flow and a normal time flow. I’ve struck it at near light speed. I’ve even made it fly at speeds close to light speed. However, this Primordial Stone forever remains the same every time! No matter what I do, it doesn’t experience any changes.”

  As wind blew, ripples would appear on a water surface.

  When an object flew at high speeds, changes would also occur to its body. For example, the temperature caused by friction or the pressure caused by moving at high speeds would change the object’s structure slightly.

  Time was even more mysterious. Even powerful Tribulation treasures would change in the face of time, albeit slowly. They would eventually decay and become damaged.

  Everything experienced change. This was supposed to be a universal law. However, the Primordial Stone remained unchanged.

  It was… eternal.

  So this is the Eternal characteristic? The Primordial remains the same eternally? Meng Chuan stared at the Primordial Stone’s surface, which had a faint luster. Meng Chuan noticed that light reflected by the Primordial Stone was unique. After all, no object had a surface as perfect as the Primordial Stone’s. Therefore, the Primordial Stone’s reflected light made Meng Chuan infatuated.

  Even after examining the stone for seven days, he was still attracted by this luster.

  Forget it. Apart from devouring it, I have no other option. Meng Chuan no longer hesitated as a dark Chaos Hole domain appeared in his palm.

  The dark Chaos Hole in his palm devoured the Primordial Stone.

  It had been seven days since he obtained the Primordial Stone.

  For the past seven days, his dantian’s Chaos Hole had constantly yearned for it. His instincts kept telling him to devour it. However, Meng Chuan had forcefully suppressed himself for seven days. At this moment, Meng Chuan finally stopped suppressing his urges and absorbed the Primordial Stone into his body by following his instincts.

  Most cultivators’ instincts usually dictated the best path one should take.

  Swoosh.

  The Primordial Stone was instantly sucked into his dantian.

  A Chaos Hole appeared in his dantian. Out of caution, he temporarily removed the Spatial Pagoda, Bloodblade Disc, Fiend Prison, and other items from his dantian space and placed them beside him.

  Whoosh.

  The tiny Primordial Stone flew into his dantian space and entered the chaos hole silently.

  Changes soon began to occur.

  Huh? Meng Chuan vaguely felt an invisible force spread out from his dantian and into every part of his body. Every particle in his body underwent a magical transformation.

  Furthermore, the Chaos Hole in his dantian began to absorb the outside world’s energy.

  I’m suddenly absorbing energy? Meng Chuan was taken aback. He was experiencing the same thing when he broke through from the Seamless realm to the Chaos Hole realm, and from the Chaos Hole realm’s early stage to the middle stage—his body was taking the initiative to absorb the outside world’s energy.

  At that moment, his body was taking the initiative to absorb energy. His dantian was extremely hungry.

  I have plenty of Outer Realm Essence Crystals. Let’s see how many you can absorb. Meng Chuan waved his hand and took out an Outer Realm Essence Crystal. He had more than 3,000 Outer Realm Essence Crystals. They were enough to produce an ordinary Sixth Tribulation Eminence, so he was naturally extremely calm. Chi! Chi! Chi!

  Meng Chuan projected his Chaos Hole domain outwards and had it envelop the Outer Realm Essence Crystal in his hand. The Outer Realm Essence Crystal slowly turned to dust at a visible speed. His body constantly sucked the surging energy. In just a few seconds, one Outer Realm Essence Crystal had been completely devoured.

  This is an Outer Realm Essence Crystal! A normal Imperial Lord only needs ten Outer Realm Essence Crystals for a breakthrough. Meng Chuan was shocked, but he hurriedly took out another Outer Realm Essence Crystal from the Spatial Pagoda beside him.

  Previously, his Chaos Hole seemed to be underdeveloped.

  After absorbing the Primordial Stone, it now began changing qualitatively. Even the total amount of energy it had absorbed was extremely astonishing! His dantian’s Chaos Hole only stopped absorbing external energies after devouring 18 Outer Realm Essence Crystals and a half-cube of Outer Realm Essence Crystal.

  During the absorption process, Meng Chuan’s body constantly changed. The mysterious energy changed every particle o
f his body; it had completely changed his body. At this moment, the transformation process had also completely stopped. The Primordial Stone in my dantian hasn’t been completely devoured. There’s still some left. With a thought, the Primordial Stonewhich had shrunk greatly in the depths of his dantian- flew out. It quickly reached Meng Chuan’s palm. His dantian’s Chaos Hole was no longer hungry. Only a finger-sized Primordial Stone remained.

  It was still round and smooth. However, it was 80% smaller than before! Nothing else had changed.

  Other than the Myriad Star Refinement Art recorded by Ancestral Master Archean Eon, a Godfiend can also absorb Primordial Stones once they reach the Chaos Hole realm. Meng Chuan was somewhat astonished by this fact. It was very difficult to make a Primordial Stone disintegrate because of its Eternal characteristic. However, a Godfiend who reached the Chaos Hole realm could absorb the stone like it was only nourishment.

  To reach the Sage Becoming realm and the Mythical realm, one needs many Cosmos Crystals. My Chaos Hole also requires Primordial Stones to grow. It’s just that I prepared a little more than needed. Just 80% of this Primordial Stone was enough.

  I wonder if I’ll still need Primordial Stones once I reach the Imperial Lord realm? Meng Chuan pondered this question.

  One didn’t require a large number of Cosmos Crystals to reach the Cosmos Body cultivation system’s Sage Becoming realm. However, one needed an astonishing number of Cosmos Crystals to reach the Mythical realm.

  If he had to follow the same ratio, how many Primordial Stones did he need to become an Imperial Lord? At that moment, Meng Chuan felt like the treasures left behind by Eminence Pang Ming might not be enough for his expenses.

  If I hadn’t seen the Primordial Stone during this Treasure Auction, I wouldn’t have known its uses. Meng Chuan sighed. As the first pioneer of an unknown cultivation realm, he had to figure out everything about it himself.

  Chaos Hole Quintessential Essence. With a thought, Meng Chuan’s fingertip produced lightning-like Quintessential Essence.

  Meng Chuan frowned slightly. The purity of my Quintessential Essence hasn’t changed. He could clearly sense that special changes had occurred in his dantian and body after absorbing the mysterious energy. However, his Chaos Hole Quintessential Essence remained the same.

  Hum.

  With a thought

  The Chaos Hole domain spread out. Meng Chuan-who was sitting cross-legged-was surrounded by darkness.

  My Chaos Hole domain has become much stronger. Meng Chuan could sense that his domain had changed qualitatively. The pressure and repulsive force exerted by his domain had increased significantly.

  Meng Chuan experimented for six hours.

  After absorbing 80% of the Primordial Stone and many Outer Realm Essence Crystals, he realized that his body had changed greatly. His Chaos Hole Quintessential Essence’s purity was the only thing that hadn’t changed. On the other hand, he had about ten times more Quintessential Essence in his body. His Chaos Hole domain’s strength had also increased significantly. It was roughly three times stronger than before.

  Meng Chuan’s body was also extremely tough now. It was like a weapon. Although his speed hadn’t changed much, his physical strength had increased by dozens of times. Meng Chuan estimated that he could match a late-stage Imperial Lord with just brute strength alone.

  In other words, my long-range attacks haven’t improved at all. However, my close combat prowess has become very strong. My body is comparable to a magical treasure. Pfft! Pfft! Pfft! Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!

  His Bloodblades began to execute the Infinite Saber Art—which had reached the Grotto-Heaven realm’s middle stage. They rapidly accelerated and struck Meng Chuan’s body furiously. Meng Chuan didn’t use his Chaos Hole domain or his Body-Protecting Peacock Robe to block the Bloodblades. He just withstood them with his body alone. The Bloodblades—now streams of light-shot towards Meng Chuan.

  Sparks flew off Meng Chuan’s skin, but he remained unharmed.

  This toughness reminded Meng Chuan of the Primordial Stone.

  My dantian’s Chaos Hole is a huge burden on my body. When I had broken through to the Chaos Hole realm, I had to transform every particle space in my body into a miniature Chaos Hole. I had to strengthen my body greatly before I could complete the breakthrough successfully and withstand the Chaos Hole in my dantian.

  As for the Primordial Stone, it has transformed my body greatly. My Chaos Hole has become much stronger. I also have ten times more Quintessential Essence now.

  Meng Chuan had a vague feeling that a powerful body was the Chaos Hole realm’s foundation. Only by having a solid foundation could he advance further.

  Chapter 513 - Let the Demons Make More Preparations

  With a paramount technique as his foundation, Meng Chuan’s body had become astonishingly powerful after absorbing most of the Primordial Stone.

  I should have the strongest body among my peers in the Supremacy realm. It should be comparable to pure-blooded dragons and phoenixes at the same realm, right?

  The strongest special lifeforms were dragons and phoenixes. They were much stronger than the Dark Peacock. Pure-blooded dragons and phoenixes could fight peak Imperial Lords when they were young (Supremacy realm). When they were adults (perfected Imperial Lord realm), they could fight Fifth Tribulation Eminences. This was the extreme talent of a special lifeform.

  Although Dark Lightning, Lightning Walk, and Lightning Fire Body Tempering Art could grant one the strength of a Fifth Tribulation Eminence in certain aspects, they were greatly flawed techniques. Only if one had mastered a perfected Imperial Lord-level paramount technique and had a body comparable to an adult pure-blooded dragon or phoenix, could they match a Fifth Tribulation Eminence.

  How difficult was it to create a perfected Imperial Lord-level paramount technique?

  In comparison, it was easier to see pure-blooded dragons and phoenixes…

  Pure-blood dragons and phoenixes had immense talent. With their talent, they could unleash the combat strength of a Fifth Tribulation Eminence when they were adults. They could dominate the outer realm. However, it was very difficult for them to understand every aspect of their strength! This made it extremely difficult for them to reach the Tribulation realm! After all, they had to understand natural laws. But the natural laws they grasped were at the Fifth Tribulation realm! Due to this, they would become a Fifth Tribulation Eminence once they understood their full strength.

  Therefore, these two special lifeforms were typically Fifth Tribulation Eminences after breaking through to the Tribulation Realm. It was more than 100 times more difficult for them to reach the Sixth Tribulation realm.

  Seventh Tribulation realm? In the same era, across the entire River of Spacetime, the two species didn’t necessarily have a Seventh Tribulation expert.

  However, both races have strong divine powers. Although my body is comparable to theirs, I haven’t produced any strong divine powers. Meng Chuan’s previous divine were too weak. If I were to name a divine power I have, I’d say it’d be my body. Its toughness is comparable to a magical treasure or weapon.

  The Primordial Stone was very tough, so Meng Chuan had gained similar characteristics after absorbing it.

  Although his body wasn’t as ludicrously tough as a Primordial Stone, it was still exaggeratedly strong.

  If I were to encounter a powerful enemy, they might not be able to destroy my body, but they can capture me alive. Meng Chuan understood this. In the outer realm, there were plenty of ways to deal with those with tough bodies. For example, one could first capture their opponent before throwing them into a Grand Yang Star’s core. In front of the star’s divine fire, one’s body would probably be reduced to ashes instantly.

  Although I’ve improved greatly this time, the body back at home can’t make a breakthrough without a Primordial Stone.

  Meng Chuan thought about it and felt like it was alright.

  He had two bodies. One had absorbed a Primordial Stone, whi
le the other hadn’t. He could use one body as a control, allowing him to understand the Primordial Stone’s uses better.

  Meng Chuan had bought all the treasures he wanted to buy.

  In the following days, he began his long-term cultivation on Black Dragon Planet.

  Everything was as Meng Chuan had expected. He was indeed different from ordinary Supremacies. When he cultivated in Myriad Flower Realm alone, it could only accelerate the time flow by ten-fold! In contrast, the Myriad Flower Realm could maintain an eight-fold faster time flow for Imperial Lords —who had 10,000-year lifespans.

  The Fiend Prison was permanently placed in Myriad Flower Realm. Myriad Flower Realm became Meng Chuan’s long-term cultivation ground.

  His paramount technique, Infinite Saber, gradually broke through from the Grotto-Heaven realm’s middle stage to the perfected Grotto-Heaven realm. It was a change that happened due to Meng Chuan accumulating more insights as time passed.

  Since he could study the Lightning Dwarf Star’s complete paramount speed laws, the Seventh Tribulation Dark Peacock’s flesh and blood, and the Three World Saber-a Tribulation-level ultimate technique-he had plenty of guidance. He also consumed wine and fruits—which aided his cultivation-daily. Due to all these different factors, his cultivation speed naturally increased by leaps and bounds.

  His cultivation of the Cloud Dragon Snake Movement Technique was even smoother.

  After arriving on Black Dragon Planet, the most precious manual Meng Chuan had obtained was the painting catalogue, Selfless Formless Sword. This was an ultimate technique that suited his intentions the best.

  Through the paintings, he understood Senior Huang Yong’s intentions. It was like they were communicating across space and time.

  Cultivating this sword art was like painting. After three years of cultivating the sword art, Meng Chuan’s Selfless Formless Sword reached the Heaven Earth realm! After 12 years, his Selfless Formless Sword reached the Heaven Earth realm’s middle stage. At this moment, Meng Chuan had already fully understood the painting catalogue’s fourth painting. After fusing his insights into his Cloud Dragon Snake Movement Technique for eight years, he had accumulated enough insights to upgrade his Cloud Dragon Snake Movement Technique to the Heaven Earth realm!
