Without the array formations obstructing the cultivators, it would be extremely difficult to intercept and kill an Imperial Lord who escaped using a Lesser Void Transference Talisman. Furthermore, Black Fiend Hall’s three Fifth Tribulation Eminences couldn’t leave alone while they were hunting. They had to be prepared to work together to prevent any accidents from happening. This was a rule set by Black Fiend Hall.
A Lesser Void Transference Talisman? The long-browed elder stopped when he saw Meng Chuan disappear. He was rather indignant.
I lost one of the five Imperial Lords under my command for such a simple mission. The long-browed elder was vexed. The red-haired Imperial Lord had been forced to serve Black Fiend Hall, but he would no longer be enslaved by Black Fiend Hall since this true body had died in battle. The red-haired Imperial Lord’s true body in his homeworld would definitely cultivate a new true body since he had already lost his treasures.
From Black Fiend Hall’s point of view, they had lost a portion of their strength. The long-browed elder had to bear some responsibility. Kill! The long-browed elder’s eyes were filled with anger as he flew out of the array formation to kill the other fleeing cultivators.
The battle continued outside the Yin-Yang Stellar Array
Patriarch Black Dragon stood in the void, with the silver-haired woman by his side. The two of them stared into the distance.
Hum.
Waves of invisible fluctuations scanned the surroundings.
With Patriarch Black Dragon’s strength, he naturally could clearly see what was happening outside after Black Fiend Hall’s array formations were completely exposed. Hundreds of array formations were scattered around the Yin-Yang Stellar Array, intercepting about 30% of the fleeing cultivators. The other 70% continued to flee frantically.
Amongst the fleeing cultivators, some Supremacies were allowed to escape, but Imperial Lords would definitely be pursued. Unless they had a Lesser Void Transference Talisman that allowed them to teleport to a faraway place, these Imperial Lords wouldn’t be able to escape.
“Many Imperial Lords were unwilling to buy Lesser Void Transference Talismans. Now, they will suffer a tragedy,” said the silver-haired woman.
“You are a dragon, so you don’t understand.” Patriarch Black Dragon calmly watched the battles in the outside world. “Those Imperial Lords vary in strength. The stronger ones might be willing to buy a Lesser Void Transference Talisman, but the weaker ones’ total wealth might only be 80 to 90 Outer Realm Essence Crystals. They need to purchase Tribulation treasures, cultivation techniques, and so on. How many will be willing to spend half their wealth to buy a Lesser Void Transference Talisman that they might not necessarily need to use?”
The silver-haired woman was taken aback, but she nodded slightly.
The Imperial Lords who roamed the outer realm had about 200 Outer Realm Essence Crystals worth of treasures on average. However, this was the average for early-stage, middle-stage, late-stage, and perfected Imperial Lords. Early and middle-stage Imperial Lords that came from low-level worlds were typically poor! They would rather use their Outer Realm Essence Crystals to buy some cultivation techniques to keep in their homeworld or a frequently-used Tribulation treasure that could aid in their cultivation.
To spend half one’s wealth to buy a Lesser Void Transference Talisman?
It was impractical.
“That’s how I was like back then.” Patriarch Black Dragon pointed at the battles happening in the outside world. Cultivators were hunted and slaughtered. Many cultivators panicked and were glad that they had escaped such a calamity. “I lived carefully. All sorts of dangers kept me on my toes constantly. I only had the right to set the rules after becoming a Tribulation Eminence.”
This was indeed the case in the outer realm. Even Meng Chuan—who had fled to Heaven Peak River System in a sorry state with Exile Prison-was intercepted the moment he arrived.
He had to rely on his seventh-level Essence Soul and the Essence Soul Star legacy’s recovery speed before he could crack the cave abode. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have obtained the treasures Pang Ming had left behind. The commotion Yin-Yang Stellar Array gradually came to a halt. Black Fiend Hall’s hunt was about to end.
“Slightly more than 70% of the 10,000 cultivators managed to escape. I expected this.” Patriarch Black Dragon calmly watched everything happen. “Over half of the Imperial Lords were intercepted, enslaved, or killed. Only one of the five Tribulation Eminences managed to escape.”
“Patriarch, you have already done your best,” whispered the silver-haired woman.
“It can’t be considered as doing my best.” Patriarch Black Dragon remained very calm. “I’m just helping them out of self-preservation. In fact, those Imperial Lords and Tribulation Eminences are much better. At most, they will lose some treasures and a true body. Those Supremacies are truly pitiful… Them dying here means a true death. In the outer realm, only by being powerful can one change their fate.”
Following that, he turned his head and took a step forward, disappearing from view as he returned to Black Dragon Planet.
The silver-haired woman glanced at the outside world one more time before turning to leave.
After Meng Chuan entered the River of Spacetime, he fled for another five days. He fled much further than the distance he had been teleported. Meng Chuan slowly flew through the River of Spacetime. He glanced at the countless stars and inhabited worlds in the distance and understood where he was in Heaven Peak River System.
Huh? Suddenly, Meng Chuan stared at a certain spot.
From afar, it looked like a human-faced darkness. In the River of Spacetime, it appeared only that ‘large.’ But in the void, it was extremely massive. That’s a Chaos Hole? Meng Chuan’s eyes lit up. The Chaos Hole I cultivate is quite similar to a real Chaos Hole. I’ve always wanted to find a Chaos Hole and study it at close range. This is my chance. Meng Chuan stared at it with fervent eyes.
Chapter 522 - Cultivation in the Chaos Hole (1)
In terms of size, the Chaos Hole in front of him was considered one of the biggest in the entire Heaven Peak River System. Meng Chuan no longer resisted the River of Spacetime’s repulsive force. He was expelled and returned to the ordinary outer realm void.
Meng Chuan stood in the dark void.
Chaos Hole. Meng Chuan stared at the mysterious celestial body in the distance in amazement.
If Primordial Stars—which only those at the Eighth Tribulation realm could discover-were the most mysterious celestial bodies in the River of Spacetime, then Chaos Holes were second to Primordial Stars.
Chaos Holes were the most mysterious and terrifying celestial bodies that ordinary cultivators could discover.
A Grand Yang Star’s divine fire core could reduce Tribulation Eminences to ashes. As for a Chaos Hole… only a Seventh Tribulation Eminence and stronger could reach its core.
It’s really massive. Meng Chuan stared at it from afar.
At the Chaos Hole’s periphery, a huge golden ring that resembled a disc surrounded it. It was also known as the Chaos Hole accretion disc.
The golden accretion disc allowed one to see the Chaos Hole’s darkness. It was what allowed cultivators to recognize it as a Chaos Hole.
If not for the Chaos Hole accretion disc, it would be very difficult to distinguish the pitch-black Chaos Hole in the outer realm.
The Chaos Hole accretion disc is astonishingly large. It’s much larger than the array formation formed by 64 Grand Yin Stars and 64 Grand Yang Stars. Meng Chuan flew towards it.
After flying for four hours, he gradually approached the Chaos Hole accretion disc.
The dazzling Chaos Hole accretion disc was extremely large. It had a very strong attractive force, but it didn’t pose any threat to Meng Chuan.
Swoosh.
Meng Chuan waved his hand, and Supremacy Qing Gu appeared beside him.
“Brother Eastcalm.” Just as Supremacy Qing Gu was about to bow, he was affected by the attract
ive force. He flew a hundred feet towards the Chaos Hole before suddenly stopping
“A Chaos Hole?” Supremacy Qing Gu stared at the dazzling Chaos Hole accretion disc in shock before looking at the Chaos Hole in the middle.
“I’ll be cultivating around the Chaos Hole for some time,” said Meng Chuan with a smile as he looked at Supremacy Qing Gu. “You can find a place to cultivate, or you may leave.”
Back then, he had brought Qing Gu with him because he wanted to integrate with other outer realm cultivators better. He could also get Qing Gu to do everything for him. Now that he had bought everything he needed, Qing Gu’s usefulness had greatly decreased.
“I’m willing to follow you wholeheartedly. Don’t worry, Brother Eastcalm. I’ll silently cultivate outside the Chaos Hole accretion disc. I’ll be at your beck and call,” said Supremacy Qing Gu immediately.
“Alright, it’s up to you.” Meng Chuan smiled and nodded.
Supremacy Qing Gu bowed and left.
He quickly left the Chaos Hole accretion disc and flew to an area with relatively lower gravitational force. He then controlled a meteor that was flying towards the Chaos Hole. He simply built an ordinary cave abode on the meteor and stayed there temporarily.
How difficult is it for an ordinary Supremacy like me to cultivate alone? Only by following an expert will I have more hope in my cultivation. Supremacy Qing Gu looked at the Chaos Hole accretion disc from afar. He definitely had to cozy up with Meng Chuan. It was precisely because he came from a low-level world that Supremacy Qing Gu understood how difficult it was to find a backer.
For example, Black Fiend Hall only accepted enslaved Imperial Lords.
What a beautiful Chaos Hole accretion disc. Meng Chuan took in the sight before him. The Chaos Hole accretion disc spanned an immense distance. He felt like he had arrived in a resplendent golden world.
Meng Chuan continued flying. After another two hours, he entered complete darkness.
It’s pitch-black. Meng Chuan turned his head and looked behind him. He could still see the Chaos Hole accretion disc. He continued flying towards the Chaos Hole.
He flew deeper into the darkness. Occasionally, a ball of hot energy would shoot towards Meng Chuan. Meng Chuan’s domain would swiftly deal with it before it got close to him.
The gravitational force is getting greater and greater. Meng Chuan constantly flew towards the Chaos Hole as its suction force constantly increased in strength.
In terms of strength, Meng Chuan was comparable to a perfected Imperial Lord. He had a Chaos Hole in his dantian. Of course, compared to the Chaos Hole in the outside World, his dantian’s Chaos Hole was considered microscopic. Even so, Meng Chuan was still very capable of resisting the gravitational force.
The closer one is to the Chaos Hole’s core, the more dangerous it will be.
After flying closer towards the Chaos Hole, Meng Chuan finally realized that the time flow around him had changed.
Two-fold faster time flow, three-fold faster time flow, five-fold faster time flow…
The closer Meng Chuan got to the Chaos Hole’s core, the greater the time flow acceleration became.
Using his homeworld’s true body as reference, he could clearly determine how much the time flow had accelerated.
The time flow is already twenty-fold faster than the norm. Meng Chuan continued flying into the Chaos Hole’s depths. His Chaos Hole domain was especially good at resisting the gravitational force. However, he had to direct most of his strength to resist it.
After flying for a few more moments, Meng Chuan suddenly stopped. He continued floating in midair, resisting the terrifying gravitational force.
The time flow is 35 times faster than the norm. I can’t go any deeper. Meng Chuan felt the terrifying gravitational force weaken his Chaos Hole domain, causing his body to tremble. If I get any closer, I’ll be sucked in. I won’t be able to resist the gravitational force. I’ll stay around this area. I’ll carefully experience the Chaos Hole’s powers and cultivate well.
Chaos Holes were very magical.
After Meng Chuan was a certain distance from the Chaos Hole, the terrifying gravitational force affected the Myriad Flower Realm, Fiend Prison, and any grotto-heaven objects. Therefore, he couldn’t hide in a treasure and reach the Chaos Hole’s core by hiding in it.
The deeper one went into the Chaos Hole, the harder it was for an object to isolate the gravitational force.
I heard that only a day passes in the outside world after cultivating for 1,000 years at a Chaos Hole’s extreme depths? Meng Chuan was somewhat astonished. According to the information left behind by Ancestral Master Archean Eon, the time flow at this celestial body’s core could also be slower than the norm. One day in the Chaos Hole’s core could be 1,000 years in the outside world. Different Chaos Holes had various differences.
Outside the Chaos Hole’s core, the time flow was faster than the norm. The closer one was to the Chaos Hole, the greater the time flow acceleration became. However, the time flow at the Chaos Hole’s core slowed down by more than 10,000 times.
There are too many unknowns. Meng Chuan felt like he had too many things he needed to investigate. However, he thought of it as a very good thing. This was what cultivation was like-one had to explore the unknown.
Huh? Meng Chuan was suddenly alarmed. What happened to my body?
All life could adapt. Under the effects of gravity, mortals’ bones and muscles would gradually change over time.
In a dark world, one’s eyes could adapt, giving them night vision. It was the same for cultivators. Changes would occur to a cultivator after they spent a long time in a certain cultivation environment. However, Meng Chuan had reached the Chaos Hole realm and had absorbed a Primordial Stone. His body was extremely powerful, which was why his body was extremely difficult to change.
The smallest particles in my body are actually slowly shrinking because of the gravitational force? Meng Chuan stayed at the maximum depth he could. With his Essence Soul’s microscopic vision, he could clearly see that his body’s particles were shrinking extremely slowly. Although they weren’t big changes, it couldn’t escape Meng Chuan’s senses.
Meng Chuan watched it happen silently. He didn’t interfere with the natural changes in his body; instead, he allowed his body to change in the environment.
One day, two days, three days…
On the surface, Meng Chuan’s body seemed to become slightly thinner. The billions of particles in his body were about 30% smaller than before. At the same time, he had about 30% more particles in his body. The Chaos Hole’s environment caused Meng Chuan’s body to gain 30% more particles. His body also became more compact. The surface of his skin was even glowing like the Seventh Tribulation Dark Peacock’s skin membrane. This is how I should cultivate my body at the Chaos Hole realm. All these years, I’ve been thinking of how I should cultivate my body. I’ve finally found the most suitable path for me. I now have a way to cultivate my Chaos Hole Divine Body… Meng Chuan was rather excited.
Ancestral Master Archean Eon had created the Samsara Divine Body.
Generations of human Godfiends-some at the Tribulation realm, some at the Imperial Lord realm, and some at the Supremacy realm-had created various Godfiend bodies.
Meng Chuan had created his own paramount technique. However, he still found it extremely difficult to create his own Godfiend body. He only found a cultivation direction after he came to the Chaos Hole’s depths.
Chapter 523 - Cultivation in the Chaos Hole (2)
In Archean Eon Realm’s history, many of the Godfiend cultivation system’s predecessors had tried to create Godfiend bodies. Some Godfiend bodies were only suitable for their individual bodies and weren’t universal. Although Meng Chuan had created the Chaos Hole Divine Body, it clearly had a very high requirement. It didn’t seem like it would be a universal Godfiend body. However, he knew that once he reached a high enough cultivation realm-such as the Fifth or Sixth Tribulation realm-his deep foun
dation would allow him to create a more universalized Chaos Hole Divine Body formulation.
He would be able to create a cultivation method for the Core Cloud realm, Indestructible realm, Great Solar realm, Darkstar realm, and Seamless realm. First, I have to create my Chaos Hole Divine Body’s nascent form. Meng Chuan was filled with anticipation. In the past, he had tried many times, but he had failed. It was only because of his powerful vitality that his body could instantly fuse back together after it shattered. Therefore, he could constantly experiment.
In a natural environment, one’s body would change gradually. The natural changes that occurred in one’s body meant that their bodies had cultivation potential in a certain direction.
Meng Chuan began to focus and meditate.
The closer one was to the massive Chaos Hole, the greater the burden on one’s body. Such an environment wasn’t suitable for calm cultivation or body cultivation. Thus, Meng Chuan usually cultivated in the Chaos Hole’s outer area, where the time flow was ten-fold faster. Meng Chuan could withstand the Chaos Hole’s gravitational force with his Chaos Hole domain alone. With his Chaos Hole domain protecting him, he could cultivate in peace.
Of course, Godfiend bodies were just ways to utilize laws.
Meng Chuan spent most of his time on paramount speed laws and void laws. He also wanted to create an Imperial Lord-level paramount technique and push his Cloud Dragon Snake Movement Technique to the perfected Heaven Earth realm.
In the blink of an eye, four years in the outside world passed. Meng Chuan had been cultivating around the Chaos Hole for nearly 50 years.
Deep in the Chaos Hole.
The time flow here was 47 times faster than normal. It was also darker and quieter here. Meng Chuan sat cross-legged in the dark, silent void and stared at the Chaos Hole’s depths.
Chaos Hole. Meng Chuan observed it silently. Although Meng Chuan couldn’t reach the core, he could imagine its true appearance because of the intelligence he had gathered in the outside world and the information left behind by Ancestral Master Archean Eon.
