He was too familiar with Three Bay River System.
“Our species is in Three Bay River System. I’m also unwilling to leave, but if the situation forces us, we have to make a choice,” said the red-robed man solemnly. “By the way, City Lord Eastcalm lives on Thousand Mountain Star. Don’t go anywhere close.”
“Thousand Mountain Star?” The black-robed elder understood. “In Three Bay River System’s history, there were only hundreds of Sixth Tribulation Eminences. I know the approximate location.”
Thousand Mountain Star was very famous in history.
However, with its master dead and the array formation activated, Thousand Mountain Star hid itself. However, Three Bay River System’s Tribulation Eminences knew its approximate location.
The news of Meng Chuan’s residing on Thousand Mountain Star had been spread by the Cang Alliance. They had also reported it to Eternal Tower. Many people knew of this matter, so Black Fiend Hall naturally obtained this information.
In the future, if Cang Alliance members came to Three Bay River System, they could head to Thousand Mountain Star to look for Meng Chuan.
Furthermore, Thousand Mountain Star had to be made public if an Eternal Tower Branch were to be established!
…
A new Fifth Tribulation Eminence has appeared in our Three Bay River System. Furthermore, he has cultivated both his body and Essence Soul. I’m afraid some tough times will be ahead. A stocky elder with silver fur sat cross-legged on a barren planet. His aura was one with the entire planet. It even affected the surrounding void for tens of millions of kilometers.
However, I’m secluded here. It won’t affect me. I wonder when I can break through the bottleneck and grasp a Fifth Tribulation law.
The stocky elder sighed. His emotions had been in upheaval when he received the news from Yellow-Robed Academy. Following that, he restrained his emotions and continued cultivating.
The Yellow-Robed Academy was also one of the top factions in the River of Spacetime. The minimum requirement to be a member was to be at the Fourth Tribulation realm. However, one had to undergo strict tests to join it. Therefore, there were fewer Yellow-Robed Academy members than Black Fiend Hall, but many experts were inside.
…
Meng Chuan had only joined Eternal Tower for more than half a year. Few people in Three Bay River System knew about this.
The transmission of information in the outer realm was slow to begin with. Cave Lord Redmynah was a member of Black Fiend Hall. The stocky elder was a member of Yellow-Robed Academy, so he was able to learn of the news quickly. As for those below the Fourth Tribulation realm like Cave Lord Bolan, they didn’t have the right to join top factions. The top factions in the River of Spacetime generally had a minimum requirement of the Fifth Tribulation realm. No matter how low the threshold was, it would still be at the Fourth Tribulation realm.
…
On the same day. On Thousand Mountain Star, the top floor of a building.
Meng Chuan sat there with his white hair draped over his shoulders. He drank and immersed himself in the profundities of the Void Catalog’s third volume. His fingers gently moved the void.
Thousand Mountain Star’s void changed as well.
At times, it would distort and layer.
Thousand Mountain Star—which was about 1.95 million kilometers in diameter—was 30 times larger because of the void layer! Meng Chuan became even more unfathomable when it came to the void domain since he could change the void on such a large scale.
Oh? Meng Chuan stopped cultivating and received a message.
This message was information transmitted through Eternal Tower’s identity token. Only the river zone’s Eternal Tower headquarters could instantly send information.
The name list of Three Bay River System’s plundering factions has finally arrived. Meng Chuan checked the list he had received. I’ve waited for a full 11 months.
The information on the list was very detailed.
A total of 18 plundering factions were recorded!
Among them, seven factions had Tribulation Eminences. Tribulation Eminences could wreak more havoc!
Based on Eternal Tower’s means, the least number of cultivators that had been killed by the seven factions with Tribulation Eminences in the past 10,000 years numbered more than 300. The most killed by a faction numbered more than 5,000! This alarmed Meng Chuan.
Cultivators who typically roamed the outer realm were, at the very least, Supremacies.
Although Three Bay River System has more than 100,000 inhabited worlds and many cultivators, these Tribulation Eminences have been plundering for a long time. They pose a threat to too many cultivators, Meng Chuan thought to himself.
Tribulation Eminences that plundered occupied 20 to 30 percent of Three Bay River System’s total Tribulation Eminences. In 10,000 years, they had killed many cultivators. Compared to adventuring and ruin expeditions, plundering treasures was much easier. It made some Tribulation Eminences take this sunken road.
In the past, only Palace Lord Snowjade had the strength to clear Three Bay River System. However, he didn’t want to manage it. He coldly watched from above as the weak cultivators struggled.
With Meng Chuan’s current strength, it was very easy for him to clear Three Bay River System. He was naturally willing to do it.
With just a slight effort, he could save many cultivators’ lives, numbering in the tens of thousands.
Seven Tribulation Eminence factions and 11 Imperial Lord factions. Meng Chuan carefully pondered over the information. There were many Imperial Lords in Three Bay River System. There were naturally other Imperial Lords that specialized in plundering. Only these 11 Imperial Lords were infamous.
Many of them have some background. They are related to top factions or are special lifeforms. Meng Chuan pondered for a moment. Let’s do this.
…
As he made his decision—
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Six black-robed, white-haired Meng Chuans left Thousand Mountain Star. Each of them carried a Sixth Tribulation treasure.
With Meng Chuan’s wealth, he had long bought six Sixth Tribulation treasures. Every Essence Soul avatar could carry one. They were very suitable for Meng Chuan. They were equipped with good offensive and defensive measures. In terms of offensive strength, they were stronger than the Bloodblade Disc. After all, the Bloodblade Disc focused on defense and escaping. It lacked offensive runes.
These new Sixth Tribulation treasures were all specially chosen by Meng Chuan when he contacted the river zone’s Eternal Tower headquarters. He checked Eternal Tower’s treasure vault and picked them out. They cost about 2,300 cubes in total.
Eternal Tower’s treasure vault was much better stocked than Ancestral Master Archean Eon’s treasure vault. Thus, it was very easy to find six items that were suitable for Meng Chuan. Furthermore, the prices were all very reasonable.
The six Essence Soul avatars moved at the same time.
Swoosh.
One of the Essence Soul avatars walked through the River of Spacetime and headed straight for Cave Lord Redmynah’s cave abode.
Cave Lord Redmynah. The black-robed, white-haired Meng Chuan confirmed his mission target.
Eternal Tower had used karma to lock onto these targets’ locations. Therefore, Meng Chuan immediately took action once he received the information! If he delayed any further, those Tribulation Eminences might have fled elsewhere. Although Meng Chuan wanted to kill those Tribulation Eminences, they had never met each other. The karmic ties between them were very faint, so he had to rely on Eternal Tower’s intelligence to locate them.
As expected of a Black Fiend Hall member, Cave Lord Redmynah’s faction has killed many cultivators and is ranked third. Meng Chuan’s killing intent was very strong.
It was common to fight in the outer realm. However, killing Imperial Lords and Supremacies as Tribulation Eminences and plundering them for long periods of time was
already beyond the normal confines of ‘battling.’
Cave Lord Redmynah has a fellow Tribulation Eminence, Cave Lord Bolan. The remaining subordinates are all Imperial Lords.
I’ve arrived.
Traveling in a river system was too easy for Meng Chuan. In a moment, he arrived at the cave abode hidden by Cave Lord Redmynah and Cave Lord Bolan.
Chapter 576 - Cave Lord Redmynah
It’s on this Grand Yin Star. Meng Chuan stepped through the void and looked at the Grand Yin Star. His gaze landed on one of the cave abodes hidden by an array formation.
With his perception of the void, he could sense a massive cave abode hidden within.
Hum.
Meng Chuan took a step and arrived near the cave abode. At the same time, a vast painting world instantly enveloped his surroundings.
His Essence Soul World descended!
Oh? Not good. Cave Lord Redmynah, who was in the cave abode, suddenly opened his eyes. As he controlled the cave abode’s array formation, he realized that the illusory Essence Soul World had forcefully invaded his cave abode and swept across the entire cave abode. At that moment, Cave Lord Redmynah didn’t hesitate to activate the protective item he carried with him.
An invisible fluctuation enveloped him, making him feel like he was isolated from the world.
The illusory Essence Soul World enveloped the entire cave abode.
One Imperial Lord after another fell silently, unable to put up any resistance.
The moment the black-robed elder, Cave Lord Bolan, was attacked by the Essence Soul World, he couldn’t control himself. He couldn’t speak. All he could do was raise his head with a pleading look. Without seeing the intruder clearly, he lost consciousness and collapsed to the ground.
In the entire cave abode were two Tribulation Eminences and a group of Imperial Lords, but only the Fourth Tribulation Eminence, Cave Lord Redmynah, remained lucid. He also relied on his protective treasures to resist the mental invasion.
Cave Lord Redmynah didn’t know that Meng Chuan’s Essence Soul World also released Astral Waves. Astral Wave was a mystic technique that originated from an Eighth Tribulation Eminence’s legacy—Essence Soul Star. A Fourth Tribulation Eminence would be considered lucky if they could remain lucid when facing Meng Chuan’s Astral Wave. Even then, it was very difficult for them to maintain 20% of their strength.
“Who is it?” Cave Lord Redmynah’s expression turned ugly as he looked up into the sky.
In the sky, the black-robed, white-haired Meng Chuan stood there and calmly looked down.
Cave Lord Redmynah recognized him. “City Lord Eastcalm.”
White-haired human?
In the intelligence provided by Black Fiend Hall, there was an image of City Lord Eastcalm.
City Lord Eastcalm sure attacked quickly. I didn’t even hear any news about his attacks. If I had known this would happen, I would have abandoned my species and fled to another river system with Bolan. Cave Lord Redmynah was somewhat vexed, but he didn’t panic.
“Greetings, City Lord Eastcalm. I’m Redmynah from Black Fiend Hall,” Cave Lord Redmynah bowed and said, “City Lord Eastcalm, if you wish to clear Three Bay River System, all you need to do is give the order. I will definitely leave with my subordinates obediently. Why must City Lord Eastcalm personally take action?”
Clearing out didn’t mean killing.
Tribulation Eminences had avatars, so they had very strong life-preservation means. Tribulation Eminences from inhabited worlds were difficult to kill since their true bodies remained in their homeworld.
Therefore, the meaning of ‘cleaning out’ generally meant killing all the outer realm true bodies of the plunder factions’ members or expelling them from Three Bay River System!
“It’s fine if it’s just ordinary fighting,” said the black-robed, white-haired Meng Chuan indifferently as he looked down at Cave Lord Redmynah. “However, I hate people like you who specialize in plundering and slaughtering weak cultivators. Therefore, I specially came to send you off.”
With that said, Meng Chuan flicked his sleeve.
Whoosh!
The Imperial Lords below were reduced to dust. The dust scattered across the world as he killed their other bodies through karma.
Upon seeing this, Cave Lord Redmynah’s expression changed drastically. The killed Imperial Lords were his descendants. He could clearly confirm that all of their bodies had been destroyed.
“City Lord Eastcalm, aren’t you going too far!?” Cave Lord Redmynah—who had been restraining himself—had an ugly expression as he stared at Meng Chuan.
Meng Chuan looked down. His gaze landed on the unconscious, motionless black-robed elder—Cave Lord Bolan.
“City Lord Eastcalm.” Upon seeing this, Cave Lord Redmynah turned anxious. He immediately said, “I’m willing to submit to City Lord Eastcalm.”
Meng Chuan glanced at him in surprise.
In the outer realm, it was very common for ordinary Tribulation Eminences to follow Fifth Tribulation Eminences. However, very few Fourth Tribulation Eminences followed Fifth Tribulation Eminences. A Fifth Tribulation Eminence typically only had one or two Fourth Tribulation Eminences under them. Such arrangements only happened if a Fourth Tribulation Eminence was especially willing.
This was because Fourth Tribulation Eminences could join some of the River of Spacetime’s top factions that had lower requirements. In terms of strength, they weren’t too afraid of Fifth Tribulation Eminences. Fifth Tribulation Eminences could kill one of their true bodies, but they couldn’t kill their other true body through karma.
“Yes, I’m willing to submit to City Lord Eastcalm,” said Cave Lord Redmynah immediately. “I only hope that City Lord Eastcalm will spare Bolan.”
Their species only had two Tribulation Eminences.
Cave Lord Redmynah still cared about Bolan’s life. Furthermore, his true body in Three Bay River System carried many treasures because this river system was where he was born.
His other true body was participating in Black Fiend Hall’s missions. It was often out and experienced more dangers. Most of the treasures he gained were transferred to this river system.
To be able to protect this body and the treasures I have accumulated over the years, as well as Bolan’s life… I can tolerate submitting to this Eastcalm City Lord. This was indeed what Cave Lord Redmynah thought.
Swoosh.
Meng Chuan flicked his sleeve, and a black stream of light flew down.
As it flew out, it instantly landed on Cave Lord Bolan.
With a bang, the black-robed elder’s body trembled as he was reduced to dust. A terrifying force passed through the karmic connection between the two bodies and transmitted into Cave Lord Bolan’s other true body. Even though the attack’s power was reduced to a tenth, it represented Nirvana Saber’s Fifth Tribulation laws. Even though it only had ten percent of its strength left, the attack still destroyed Cave Lord Bolan’s other true body.
“No!” On a distant planet, Cave Lord Bolan was completely annihilated as he despaired.
In Three Bay River System, Old Bandit Bolan—who had reigned supreme for over 20,000 years—had died completely.
“Eastcalm!” Cave Lord Redmynah’s expression changed drastically.
He was already willing to submit to him, yet the other party still chose to kill Bolan.
“You can join him.” Meng Chuan flicked his sleeve, and another black beam of light flew towards Cave Lord Redmynah. It instantly landed on him, and ripples spread across his body. Even so, his body remained intact.
Cave Lord Redmynah glared at Meng Chuan. He instantly activated the Void Transference Talisman and vanished.
As a Fourth Tribulation Eminence, he had already obtained a Void Transference Talisman after joining Black Fiend Hall because he didn’t have an inhabited world to protect his other true body. He had this true body in Three Bay River System carry the talisman because it had many treasures. With his status and strength, he
had only obtained one Void Transference Talisman.
He escaped? Meng Chuan locked onto a location in the distance.
Cave Lord Redmynah was only one target on the list. Previously, he hadn’t seen him before, so the karmic connection between them both was very faint.
Now that he had seen Cave Lord Redmynah with his own eyes and grasped his aura, he could accurately lock onto his target. Furthermore, he had killed a group of Imperial Lords from the same species as Cave Lord Redmynah. After killing Cave Lord Bolan, their karmic connection had strengthened greatly. Their karmic connection was much stronger.
He instantly fled to Beiyou River System. A Void Transference Talisman is indeed very powerful. As expected of a Tribulation Eminence’s life-preservation treasure.
A Spacetime Teleportation Talisman was stronger than a Void Transference Talisman. Meng Chuan had given one to his son, Meng An.
…
Whoosh.
The void distorted.
After the void returned to normal, Cave Lord Redmynah discovered that he had already arrived in a pitch-black void. He could sense the location of his other true body. He used its location and compared it with the Spacetime Dominion Map. At the very least, he could confirm the river system he was in.
“This is… Beiyou River System?” Cave Lord Redmynah heaved a sigh of relief. He had controlled the Void Transference Talisman to transport him to the furthest location. Although Void Transference Talismans were said to be only effective within river zones, the energy contained within each one was fixed. Therefore, the stronger a Tribulation Eminence was, the greater the burden on a Void Transference Talisman. A stronger Tribulation Eminence traveled a relatively shorter distance when using Void Transference Talismans.
If a Fifth Tribulation Eminence were to use one, they would only be able to travel a few river systems’ distance. Cave Lord Redmynah had been transported considerably far after using his Void Transference Talisman.
This place is very far from Three Bay River System. City Lord Eastcalm is only at the Fifth Tribulation realm. It’s impossible for him to rush here quickly considering his attainments in the void lineage unless he’s willing to use a Void Transference Talisman, thought Cave Lord Redmynah. Even though he’s at the Fifth Tribulation realm, he can buy very few Void Transference Talismans/ He probably won’t be willing to use them to kill one of my bodies.
