This is the first time I’m entering a spacetime hole. Meng Chuan’s Essence Soul avatar flew into the spacetime hole and saw the scene inside. It was as though the vast spacetime had been compressed and stacked together. It appeared ridiculous and strange.
In less than three seconds, he passed through the spacetime hole and arrived in the ordinary outer realm void.
When he flew out, Meng Chuan saw a massive planet that spanned five million kilometers.
Scenic Cloud Planet. Meng Chuan looked at the planet. This was the lair of Warped Cloud River System’s Eight-Headed Star Swallowing Snake branch. It was also Cave Lord Scenic Cloud’s cultivation ground.
“Leave!”
“Leave quickly!” “Evacuate Scenic Cloud Planet.”
“Quick, quick, quick.”
At this moment, Scenic Cloud Star was in a state of panic. Eight-Headed Star Swallowing Snakes were flying out. Some crushed Lesser Void Transference Talismans and instantly left. The ignorant Eight-Headed Star Swallowing Snake infants were somewhat puzzled as they slowly flew. With their flying speed, it would take them a long time to fly out of Scenic Cloud Planet.
Cave Lord Scenic Cloud’s Essence Soul avatar stood on a mountain and watched everything coldly.
Boom!
The illusory Essence Soul World descended and corroded Scenic Cloud Planet’s array formation.
He’s here? Cave Lord Scenic Cloud’s Essence Soul avatar looked up but didn’t resist.
This was only a seventh-level Essence Soul avatar. It was weak and could only exist within the same river zone as his true body. A seventh-level Essence Soul’s Power of Essence Soul was unable to activate Scenic Cloud Planet’s array formation. As for the other Eight-Headed Star Swallowing Snakes, their cultivation realms were too low. They couldn’t use the array formation. He could only allow Meng Chuan’s Essence Soul World to attack them.
In the blink of an eye, Scenic Cloud Planet’s array formation was breached!
The illusory world spread out for 1.5 million kilometers as void fluctuations enveloped tens of millions of kilometers! They grabbed the Eight-Headed Star Swallowing Snakes.
“No!” Many Eight-Headed Star Swallowing Snakes revealed looks of despair.
“What happened?”
“What’s going on?” Many Eight-Headed Star Swallowing Snake infants were alarmed and puzzled. Some of them had yet to escape far from Scenic Cloud Planet. At most, they were still flying in its vicinity.
The black-robed, white-haired Meng Chuan stood in midair above Scenic Cloud Planet. He sensed the area. I was too slow. There are only five Tribulation-level Eight-Headed Star Swallowing Snakes left. The rest are Imperial Lords and Supremacies.
Most Eight-Headed Star Swallowing Snakes were selfish. After receiving Cave Lord Scenic Cloud’s orders, they immediately used various means to escape in the shortest time possible.
Scenic Cloud Planet was huge. It spanned five million kilometers! If they wanted to bring along some young Eight-Headed Star Swallowing Snakes with them, it would take them a lot of time. They might lose the chance to escape if they were delayed by mere seconds.
For example, the five Eight-Headed Star Swallowing Snakes—who were at the Tribulation realm-wanted to bring more of their clansmen with them. In the end, they failed to escape. Meng Chuan’s illusory world had descended.
“Eastcalm, aren’t you going overboard?” Cave Lord Scenic Cloud’s Essence Soul avatar flew over and stared at Meng Chuan. “Are you trying to implicate these weak clansmen in our battle? Some of them were just born not long ago.”
“Five Tribulation Eminences, 32 Imperial Lords, and 263 Supremacies.” Meng Chuan nodded slightly. “Some are indeed newly born.”
Eight-Headed Star Swallowing Snakes were born in the outer realm at the Supremacy realm.
Considering it was a lair guarded by Cave Lord Scenic Cloud, many Eight-Headed Star Swallowing Snakes gathered here. Many Eight-Headed Star Swallowing Snakes rushed over because of its fame. With Cave Lord Scenic Cloud protecting them, it was naturally very safe.
Scenic Cloud Planet was the largest Eight-Headed Star Swallowing Snake lair in the entire Goddess River Zone.
For example, Scarlet Snake Planet had dozens of Fifth Tribulation Eminences under its command! It became the Scarlet Snake species’ largest lair in the entire River of Spacetime.
The more powerful a species’ expert, the more of its kind gathered in one place. This time…
Many of the Eight-Headed Star Swallowing Snakes’ Tribulation Eminences and Imperial Lords had fled, but Meng Chuan had also captured many. Most of them were weaker Supremacies.
“Release them.” Cave Lord Scenic Cloud’s Essence Soul avatar looked at Meng Chuan. “I’ll give you all my true body’s treasures. I’ll also guarantee that I won’t cross you again.”
“You won’t cross me any longer?” Meng Chuan looked at him.
“If you kill my clansmen, I, Scenic Cloud, swear that I will fight you for the rest of my life. The entire Three Bay River System will not have peace.” Cave Lord Scenic Cloud stared at Meng Chuan.
Meng Chuan looked at him and smiled slightly. “Are you threatening me? Cave Lord Scenic Cloud, think about it carefully. It was your Eight-Headed Star Swallowing Snake species that extended its claws into the Three Bay River System. After plundering Three Bay River System for tens of thousands of years, I’m only demanding payment for Three Bay River System’s blood debt. Are you the only one allowed to slaughter and plunder? Are cultivators not allowed to take revenge?”
Cave Lord Scenic Cloud said solemnly, “Only a small number of people have plundered. Many weak Eight-Headed Star Swallowing Snakes here have never plundered, especially those at the Supremacy realm. These weak Eight-Headed Star Swallowing Snakes are innocent, right?”
“I’ll take all of them away,” said Meng Chuan. “I’ll decide whether they are killed or kept alive… As for you spending the rest of your life fighting me, give me your best shot!”
Fight with him? The present him was no longer afraid of the other party.
He had gained a lot from studying the Void Catalog’s third volume. Once his Cloud Dragon Snake Movement Technique reached the Fifth Tribulation realm, he believed that he could grasp a law at the Sixth Tribulation.
When that happened, killing Cave Lord Scenic Cloud would be easy.
Snake Fiend Star.
Cave Lord Scenic Cloud, who was bound by the black-and-white chains, endured the descending saber beams. His eight heads stared at Meng Chuan as he said, “City Lord Eastcalm, I plan on making a deal with you.” His voice echoed throughout Snake Fiend Star.
“Deal?” Meng Chuan temporarily stopped his saber beams.
“I’ll follow and serve you for 10,000 years,” said Cave Lord Scenic Cloud. “With this as a price, spare my fellow clansmen and my true body.”
“If I kill you, I’ll probably reap great benefits,” said Meng Chuan. “With your strength, this true body should have at least tens of thousands of cubes worth of treasures. As for followers? I’m not in urgent need of one.”
“I’ll offer another 30,000 cubes of treasures.” Cave Lord Scenic Cloud stared at Meng Chuan. As a special lifeform, Cave Lord Scenic Cloud had a relatively long lifespan. After reaching the Fifth Tribulation realm, he had a lifespan of more than 70,000 years. He still had 20,000 years left to live.
He was already making a huge sacrifice by saying that he would follow Meng Chuan for 10,000 years. As for treasures? He was considered extremely powerful at the Fifth Tribulation realm and had lived for a long time. He had accumulated several times more treasures than Pang Ming. Just the treasures he carried on his true body were worth nearly 50,000 cubes.
“Give me 30,000 cubes?” Meng Chuan looked at the massive Eight-Headed Star Swallowing Snake. A follower that was powerful enough could be of much use. There was no need for him to handle many trivial matters personally. He could focus more on his cultivation. He immediately said, “I don’t care a
bout anything else. Hand over all the Eight-Headed Star Swallowing Snakes that plundered Three Bay River System to me.”
“They fled back to Warped Cloud River System. You’ve already captured a portion of them,” said Cave Lord Scenic Cloud coldly. “A portion of them fled. I’ll capture them as well. However… the two strongest Fourth Tribulation Eminences are scattered in different distant river zones. I can’t capture them.”
“In other words, other than the two strongest Fourth Tribulation Eminences, you’ll leave the rest to me?” Meng Chuan looked at him.Cave Lord Scenic Cloud nodded. He could tolerate handing over more than ten Eight-Headed Star Swallowing Snakes.
As for the 300 Eight-Headed Star Swallowing Snakes that Meng Chuan had captured, they represented the vast majority in his lair! It was difficult for Eight-Headed Star Swallowing Snakes to reproduce. Cave Lord Scenic Cloud couldn’t just watch as all of them were handed over to Meng Chuan. On the other hand, he also wanted to protect a special treasure that his true body carried. He could give the other treasures-worth 30,000 cubes when converted—to Meng Chuan. The special treasure was very important for his cultivation. He didn’t want to give it up.
For many reasons, he had made this choice. This was the greatest price he could bear. Meng Chuan pondered for a moment. He had never thought of slaughtering all Eight-Headed Star Swallowing Snakes. Just like there were all sorts of ordinary cultivators, there were also many kinds of Eight-Headed Star Swallowing Snakes. Only a small portion of them liked plundering. Some focused on cultivating on the planet and ignored the outside world while others liked taking risks. Otherwise, there wouldn’t have been just over ten Eight-Headed Star Swallowing Snakes plundering Three Bay River System.
Meng Chuan looked at Cave Lord Scenic Cloud. “I agree to your conditions.”
Cave Lord Scenic Cloud’s eight heads were slightly taken aback. His expression was complicated as he bowed his head. “Greetings, City Lord.”
Chapter 586 - Famous Across Goddess River Zone
Some Tribulation Eminences would break their promises easily because they knew that they had no hope of increasing their strength any further. Thus, they didn’t care about karma. However, promises made by people like Cave Lord Scenic Cloud—who had a chance of reaching the Sixth Tribulation realm—could be trusted.
Whoosh.
Meng Chuan removed the array formation. At the same time, his Essence Soul World enveloped the area as he began to dismantle every part of the Yin-Yang Grand World Array. It was difficult to set up the array formation since every detail mattered. However, the dismantling process was very fast! A large number of array formation components flew up and were casually put away by Meng Chuan. “City Lord.” Cave Lord Scenic Cloud returned to his human form, becoming the same height as Meng Chuan, but he was still brawny. He cupped his hands slightly and said, “For the next 10,000 years, I will follow you. I won’t be able to preside over Warped Cloud River System. Therefore, many Eight-Headed Star Swallowing Snakes in Warped Cloud River System will find it difficult to find a suitable place to reside. I wonder if my fellow clansmen can live on Thousand Mountain Star?”
It was one thing for him to preside over the planet in the past, but if he wasn’t present, a few hundred Eight-Headed Star Swallowing Snakes would attract many experts to plunder them. This was because an adult Eight-Headed Star Swallowing Snake was worth hundreds of cubes.
“Yes.” Meng Chuan nodded and made a decision. “I’ll demarcate half of Thousand Mountain Star. I’ll use an array formation to put restrictions. Your clansmen can live there, but you know my temper. If your clansmen plunder again, I’ll also kill them.” “Thank you, City Lord.” Cave Lord Scenic Cloud was overjoyed. He immediately said, “City Lord, don’t worry. As long as anyone dares to violate your rules, I will kill them without you needing to do the deed.” Although Thousand Mountain Star was slightly smaller than Snake Fiend Star and Scenic Cloud Planet, it had a diameter of 1.95 million kilometers. Just half of it was enough for the Eight-Headed Star Swallowing Snakes to live in.
“I’ll go capture the few fish that escaped,” said Cave Lord Scenic Cloud immediately.
Meng Chuan had captured more than half of the ten-plus Eight-Headed Star Swallowing Snakes that had plundered Three Bay River System. There were still a few left. Cave Lord Scenic Cloud didn’t show any mercy.
The rules within the race were strict. For the sake of hundreds of his clansmen, Cave Lord Scenic Cloud was naturally decisive in sacrificing the few.
Long periods of plundering might accidentally result in provoking a powerful cultivator to seek revenge! Therefore, every plunderer knew how dangerous it was. However, they still plundered. Some of them just had it in them. Most of them became obsessed with the massive gains they obtained from plundering. As the leader of a branch of the species, Cave Lord Scenic Cloud had his clansmen choose their own paths. However, if a strong enemy came as a result of their plundering, the plunderer would have to bear the consequences. He couldn’t let the entire species die because of them.
That day, Cave Lord Scenic Cloud packed up everything. He even brought a total of 355 Eight-Headed Star Swallowing Snakes to Thousand Mountain Star. A small number of Eight-Headed Star Swallowing Snakes were unwilling to come to Thousand Mountain Star, so they wandered off by themselves. “Thousand Mountain Star.” “This is where we will live in the future?”
“According to Cave Lord, an Eternal Tower branch will be built here. It will be very lively.”
The hundreds of Eight-Headed Star Swallowing Snakes-who had taken human forms—were secretly discussing with each other. Many of them were still young, so they were rather curious and expectant about their future lives.
“Bring them over and settle them down,” instructed Cave Lord Scenic Cloud.
“Yes, Cave Lord,” the five Fourth Tribulation Eight-Headed Star Swallowing Snakes respectfully replied. They immediately led their clansmen and swooped down. Thousand Mountain Star had long prepared a residential area for them.
Soon, many young adults revealed their true bodies. They swam in the water and rolled on the ground in satisfaction.
Meng Chuan smiled as he watched the scene from afar. With this additional group of Eight-Headed Star Swallowing Snakes, Thousand Mountain Star became much more lively.
Cave Lord Scenic Cloud felt much calmer when he saw this.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The two Third Tribulation Eminences, Zhong Yu and Pang Feng, flew over.
“City Lord.” Zhong Yu and Pang Feng were extremely respectful. At the same time, they couldn’t help but look at Cave Lord Scenic Cloud and the Eight-Headed Star Swallowing Snakes in the distance.
“Scenic Cloud.” Meng Chuan pointed at the two. “These two are Zhong Yu and Pang Feng. They are also my followers. Many of Eastcalm City’s trivial matters will mainly be handled by the two of them. Scenic Cloud, you don’t need to deal with matters usually. If they encounter any trouble… I’ll require you to help them.”
“Alright.” Cave Lord Scenic Cloud felt relieved. He was one of the top Fifth Tribulation Eminences, so he naturally didn’t want to worry about anything.
“Greetings, Cave Lord Scenic Cloud.” Zhong Yu and Pang Feng couldn’t hide their excitement as they bowed respectfully. They had long received Meng Chuan’s voice transmission and learned of the future arrangements in detail. This made them sigh in amazement. The outside world was worried that the City Lord would deal with Snake Fiend Star and anger Cave Lord Scenic Cloud. Who knew that Cave Lord Scenic Cloud would end up following their City Lord? If this news spread, the entire Goddess River Zone would probably be alarmed.
Goddess River Zone, Scarlet Snake Planet was Goddess River Zone’s Eternal Tower headquarters.
“Patriarch, Three Bay River System’s Eastcalm has already cleaned up the river system’s plundering factions. The next step is to build his Eternal Tower branch.” Chi Jiuxin respectfully handed a golden book over. Starlord Scarlet Snake was very thin. His body w
as shriveled, and his face was covered in wrinkles. However, his eyes were cold. His invisible aura made Chi Jiuxin’s heart tremble.
This Scarlet Snake patriarch was famous throughout the River of Spacetime. He was extremely powerful.
Most of the Scarlet Snakes’ reputation was thanks to Starlord Scarlet Snake. Without him, the Scarlet Snakes’ living environment would immediately turn nasty. Their population would shrink greatly.
With him around, the various factions would have to weigh the consequences carefully before dealing with the Scarlet Snakes. “Oh? Scenic Cloud has also followed him?” Starlord Scarlet Snake read the golden book in surprise.
“Yes. Eastcalm has already reported that the plundering factions are cleared. Eternal Tower will investigate and confirm that there’s no mistake. Furthermore, Cave Lord Scenic Cloud is very respectful towards Eastcalm on Thousand Mountain Star. He has even moved over 300 Eight-Headed Star Swallowing Snakes there,” said Chi Jiuxin.
Starlord Scarlet Snake nodded slightly. “For Scenic Cloud to follow him, that kid from Archean Eon Realm does have some means. Pay more attention to him.”
“Yes,” replied Chi Jiuxin respectfully.
Starlord Scarlet Snake nodded. “Alright, I have no objections. Permit him to establish an Eternal Tower branch.”
“Yes,” replied Chi Jiuxin respectfully. Chi Jiuxin handled the day-to-day affairs, but he still had to report to the patriarch regarding the establishment of an Eternal Tower branch.
The patriarch was nominally in charge of the Eternal Tower branches in Goddess River Zone.
Three Bay River System’s Thousand Mountain Star is about to establish an Eternal Tower branch? It has even invited us to build a branch there? A purple-haired, purple-browed elder received news from Chi Jiuxin.
Eastcalm City’s core was the Eternal Tower branch, but there would also be other trading places.
The official members of Eternal Tower started many businesses to earn Outer Realm Essence Crystals or contribution points.
