  At this moment…

  On the contrary, Meng Chuan had some hope. His mental cultivation was lacking, so he could still cultivate his body first and reach the Sixth Tribulation realm with his body. Furthermore, he could improve his technique. If he grasped more laws, it would be easier for him to transcend the tribulation since his Essence Soul World would be powerful enough. However, no one could control the improvement of their mental cultivation. Sometimes, one would be stuck without making a breakthrough for a long time. Sometimes, one’s mind would suddenly transform.

  Oh? Meng Chuan suddenly sensed something. Cang Alliance Space? Fu Sui invited me over?

  With a thought, an embodiment immediately took form in the Cang Alliance Space using the Essence Soul mark he left there.

  In the Cang Alliance Space.

  Meng Chuan appeared and saw two figures sitting in the distance. One was Old Fiend Black Wind, who had explored a cave abode with him. The other was Fu Sui.

  “Brother Eastcalm,” greeted Black Wind with a smile.

  Meng Chuan walked over.

  “Have a seat.” Fu Sui—who was as fat as a ball

  -sat there and pointed to the side. “Tiger King will be here in a while.”

  “Tiger King? The tiger king from Heavenly Dream Realm?” asked Meng Chuan as he sat down.

  The Cang Alliance’s members were scattered across the River of Spacetime. There were a total of 801 members. Six new members, including Meng Chuan himself, had joined the alliance when he first joined.

  In the Cang Alliance, there was only one person known as Tiger King. “Yes, Tiger King will likely not snub us.” Fu Sui turned his head.

  Meng Chuan also sensed a figure condense in the distance.

  It was a very thin figure. In terms of height, he was slightly taller than the short, fat Fu Sui, but he was much shorter than Meng Chuan and Old Fiend Black Wind. Furthermore, he was relatively thin. Among the four of them, he was the thinnest. The thin figure was dressed in a gray robe. The corners of his eyes were filled with bloodlust.

  In the outer realm… one couldn’t judge a cultivator by their looks. This thin figure’s true strength was very terrifying because Heavenly Dream Realm’s special heritage was even stronger than Cave Lord Scenic Cloud’s. “Greetings, Brother Meng Hu,” said Meng Chuan and Black Wind politely because it was their first time meeting Tiger King.

  “You can just address me as Tiger King.” The thin Meng Hu was very gallant. He sat on a chair that looked oversized for him. He sat cross-legged on the chair as he looked at Fu Sui and asked, “Lunatic Fu, why did you suddenly invite me over? You even said that you invited Old Fiend Black Wind and City Lord Eastcalm to discuss something important? Is there some ruin you want to explore?”

  Fu Sui liked taking risks the most. He was famous in the Cang Alliance because of this, but he had never gained much from his ruin explorations. He had some small gains, but he had always been relatively poor because he had died too many times.

  “Yes, a ruin.” Fu Sui’s eyes lit up as he swept his gaze across Tiger King, Meng Chuan, and Black Wind.

  “I have the least interest in your little adventure.” Meng Hu curled his lips. “It would be a huge loss if I accidentally lose a true body.”

  “If you take the risk and feel that you have suffered a loss, I’ll compensate you,” said Fu Sui.

  Meng Chuan and Meng Hu were shocked when they heard that.

  Compensation? Every true body that died meant a loss of thousands of cubes. Yet, Fu Sui dared to boldly declare that he would compensate them for their losses?

  “I’ve already entered three times and died three times,” said Fu Sui solemnly. “Brother Black Wind has gone in with me once. He died once too.”

  Meng Chuan became even more intrigued when he heard that. He entered three times in a row? Despite dying three times, he still wants to enter? He even promised to make up for any feeling of loss. He has clearly benefited from this ruin greatly. “I’ll also be entering this time,” said Black Wind as he looked at Meng Chuan and Tiger King. “You have piqued my interest.” Meng Hu narrowed his eyes.

  As long as one wasn’t a fool, they could tell from Fu Sui and Black Wind’s actions that this ruin had great benefits in store.

  “Brother Eastcalm, my promise to you is the same,” said Fu Sui. “If you enter and feel that it’s a loss, I’ll make it up to you. Of course, don’t bring more than 5,000 cubes of treasures with you. I can’t afford to pay any more than that.”

  Meng Chuan looked at him. “You will compensate us? Is there such a good thing?”

  “Of course. However, you have to promise me that the items left behind by Black Wind and me after our deaths will still belong to us,” said Fu Sui.

  “Don’t worry.”

  Meng Chuan and Meng Hu nodded. The two of them wouldn’t bother snatching the treasures that they would leave behind.

  Meng Chuan was about to grasp a Sixth Tribulation law. He had an intrinsic sense of pride in him.

  Fu Sui and Black Wind exchanged looks and nodded slightly. The treasures left behind after their deaths belonged to them. This was a very important clause. This was because… Old Fiend Black Wind had obtained quite a lot previously. He had lost it all in the ruins. Fu Sui had probed the ruins thrice, and the treasures he had collected were also there. Furthermore, they were confident that the duo wouldn’t feel like they had made a bad decision in joining the ruin exploration as long as the duo entered.

  “This matter can’t be spread to anyone else. Only the four of us can know about it,” continued Fu Sui. “After you enter, we are not to harm each other. As for the gains, it will depend on our own abilities. Can the two of you agree to these conditions?” Meng Hu and Meng Chuan glanced at each other and nodded slightly.

  Both parties felt that they could participate in this matter.

  “Alright,” said Meng Hu.

  “Yes.” Meng Chuan nodded as well. He was somewhat looking forward to this mysterious ruin.

  Final Chapter of Volume-Eastcalm City

  Chapter 591 - Heading to the Ruins

  Thousand Mountain Star, ninth floor of Eternal Tower.

  Meng Chuan stood there as a large number of treasures floated in front of him.

  Having built an Eternal Tower branch on Thousand Mountain Star, it’s rather convenient for me to buy treasures. Meng Chuan smiled. He was the manager of the Eternal Tower branch, so he naturally wouldn’t leak the sales information. It was easy for him to launder any goods. Meng Chuan wasn’t confident that he could survive this trip to the mysterious ruin. After all, Fu Sui had died three times, and Black Wind had died once. Although he was much stronger than them, he could similarly die there.

  Therefore, he couldn’t bear to bring any of the following: Demon Slayer-which he had nurtured for many years; Bloodblade Disc, which he had refined as an intrinsic artifact; his Essence Soul World’s World Treasure, and the Thirteen Universe Beads—which was very compatible and very precious to him. He didn’t want to lose any of them.

  “Seventh Tribulation treasure, Chaos Hole types,” said Meng Chuan.

  Whoosh.

  The phantom images in front of him changed once, but there were still an uncountable number of them. As a Fifth Tribulation Eminence and Eternal Tower member, Meng Chuan could see nearly all the Seventh Tribulation treasure vaults in the River of Spacetime’s Eternal Towers. Over time, generations of cultivators left behind many treasures, naturally amounting to an enormous number of treasures.

  For instance, even though there were only two to three Chaos Holes per river zone, the total number found across the River of Spacetime was still astonishing.

  Most of Eternal Tower’s truly valuable items were sold on behalf of other factions. The other factions also had a demand for them. Eternal Tower was the largest trading network in the River of Spacetime.

  Meng Chuan swept his gaze across the hundred cheapest items.

  This is it. Meng Chuan locked onto one of the
items. “Chaos Hole Bead.”

  This Chaos Hole Bead was the size of a grape. Even the treasure phantom appeared dark and unfathomable.

  A Seventh Tribulation treasure—Chaos Hole Bead-contains a complete Chaos Hole law. Meng Chuan nodded slightly. It costs 1,800 cubes.

  A complete Chaos Hole law was one of the most terrifying laws in the River of Spacetime. It was a Seventh Tribulation law.

  Legend had it that Chaos Hole laws were formed by combining the complete spatial laws and a portion of temporal laws. With this as a foundation, one could reach the Seventh Tribulation realm!

  The Seventh Tribulation realm was a legend. Even among the strongest factions like Eternal Tower, the strongest experts were at the Seventh Tribulation realm. The Seventh Tribulation realm was considered at the top of the hierarchy. Even large clans-like the dragon clan-in the River of Spacetime didn’t have any Seventh Tribulation Eminences in the current era.

  My Infinite Saber, Nirvana Saber, and Cloud Dragon Snake Movement Technique can be considered small branches of Chaos Hole laws. Meng Chuan understood this point.

  All of the spatial laws were a subset of Chaos Hole laws. The Cloud Dragon Snake Movement Technique could be considered as one of them. Of course, these three small branches were still far from Chaos Hole laws. Meng Chuan’s current goal was only the Sixth Tribulation realm.

  With my current insights, I can only unleash a portion of the Chaos Hole Bead’s strength when using it. However, it far exceeds a Sixth Tribulation treasure. It’s considered the greatest investment I’ve made for this trip to the ruin. Meng Chuan had bought the cheapest Seventh Tribulation treasure. Why did Seventh Tribulation treasures have such huge discrepancies in price?

  Most of the more expensive ones were easier to understand. They were easier to control, allowing one to unleash greater strength. For example, the Thirteen Universe Beads sold for 5,000 cubes in Eternal Tower. The cheaper ones such as the Chaos Hole Bead were too esoteric. It was extremely difficult to comprehend them. They had higher requirements for one to control them. The strength they could unleash was also relatively lower. However, the advantage was that they were cheap!

  The laws that Meng Chuan cultivated and comprehended made him very compatible with the Chaos Hole Bead. However, he could only utilize about 60% of the Thirteen Universe Beads’ power with the Chaos Hole Bead.

  Sixth Tribulation array formation treasure, Myriad Dragon Array, and this Purple Thunder Saber. Meng Chuan quickly selected the items. He had read through Eternal Tower’s treasure catalog many times, so he remembered many treasures clearly.

  He just needed to choose cheap and suitable ones. After all, he was prepared to suffer losses.

  After staying in Eternal Tower for more than two hours, he purchased one Seventh Tribulation treasure, Chaos Hole Bead, and two Sixth Tribulation treasures—Myriad Dragon Array and Purple Thunder Saber.

  If he bought a Seventh Tribulation treasure, he could have it teleported to him on the same day. It came with free teleportation services. If he only bought a Sixth Tribulation treasure, he needed to add an additional 100 cubes for same-day delivery. Meng Chuan estimated that the cost of only teleporting items was definitely low for Eternal Tower. It definitely cost less than 100 cubes.

  After leaving three Essence Soul avatars to guard Thousand Mountain Star, Meng Chuan left Three Bay River System. He first met up with Black Wind before heading to the distant Six Desires River Zone.

  Half a month later.

  Whoosh.

  Meng Chuan and Old Fiend Black Wind flew to a barren planet. As they landed, the scenery changed. An elegant cave abode appeared in front of them.

  Fu Sui—who was as fat as a ball—had already flown over to welcome them. He laughed loudly and said, “Black Wind, you spent more than a year traveling last time. This time, you’ve arrived here within a month. It looks like Brother Eastcalm helped.”

  “Brother Eastcalm is astonishingly fast when traveling in the River of Spacetime.” Black Wind chuckled. “That’s why I got a free ride by having him bring me along.”

  “You came quickly. Tiger King hasn’t arrived yet after setting off from Heavenly Dream Realm,” said Fu Sui. “Let’s wait a little longer.”

  “No rush.” Meng Chuan and Black Wind nodded.

  They had to travel a greater distance by coming from Goddess River Zone, yet they arrived first.

  “This is one of my vacation residences for meditation. Sometimes, I will abandon all my subordinates and come here to meditate when I’m frustrated,” said Fu Sui with a smile. “Come, come. Although I’m a little poor, I’ve collected many rare items over my years of adventuring. Let me show them to you.” “I’ve seen them last time. There are many rare items.” Black Wind nodded. Meng Chuan was rather curious as he followed along to admire them.

  There were only three Fifth Tribulation Eminences on this barren planet. When the fourth Fifth Tribulation Eminence, Meng Hu, arrived, all their companions were gathered for this expedition.

  “Since everyone is here, let’s set off,” said Fu Sui. He led Meng Chuan, Black Wind, and Meng Hu out of the barren planet. They entered the River of Spacetime and flew for ten minutes before returning to the normal void.

  Huh? Meng Chuan and Meng Hu stared in surprise. Their surroundings were pitch-black. They could only see some light in extremely distant places. It was the light of a distant river system.

  “This is the land of darkness between river systems,” said Fu Sui with a smile. “One of the entrances to the ancient ruin is here. Can you sense the entrance?”

  Meng Chuan tried to spread his illusory Essence Soul World. With his control over the Void Domain, he carefully sensed everything.

  The tiger king also used his means to investigate carefully.

  “This is the land of darkness. There’s nothing here.” The thin, gray-robed Meng Hu shook his head and said, “At least, I can’t discover it.”

  “Neither can I.” Meng Chuan shook his head as well.

  “Quickly open the entrance. Stop pretending to be all mysterious,” urged Black Wind. He had tried to probe the area previously when he came, but he couldn’t find it either.

  Fu Sui laughed and began casting a mystic technique.

  This was a mystic technique that opened the entrance.

  Buzz

  The surrounding dark void began to ripple. Meng Chuan felt the entire space tremble.

  The distorted darkness affected up to a hundred million kilometers out. The distorted darkness instantly devoured Meng Chuan, Fu Sui, Black Wind, and Meng Hu.

  Oh? Meng Chuan didn’t even have time to react before he felt himself sink into another spacetime zone.

  Chapter 592 - Forbidden Creature

  After spacetime stabilized, Meng Chuan landed on the ground and looked around. With his eyesight, he could see that the land was half a million kilometers wide. It was pitch-black beyond the land’s edge. Meng Chuan was currently at the very edge.

  That mountain. Meng Chuan looked into the distance. In the middle of the vast land stood a towering mountain. The mountain was more than 50,000 kilometers tall, and the mountainside was clustered by clouds.

  The mountain was completely black.

  As he stared from afar, Meng Chuan felt his heart palpitate and panic. It was as though he was a mortal who had raised his head to look at a 10,000-foot-tall monster. It was an instinctual fear.

  This mountain is very strange. This ruin world isn’t ordinary either. Meng Chuan discovered this the moment he entered. This land originally had cave abode buildings, but they were now in ruins. Most of them had been reduced to gravel, leaving behind only a portion of their remains.

  At the same time, the suppression of the world was terrifying. Even a Fifth Tribulation Eminence had to resist it with all their might.

  Even a Fourth Tribulation Eminence will be crushed to death by such suppression. It looks like the threshold to enter this ruin world is the Fifth Tribulation realm. Only a Fifth Tribu
lation Eminence and stronger can survive here. Who created this ruin world and left behind such a powerful suppression?

  For such a world to maintain such a strong suppression for a long time, the energy consumed is astonishing. The creator of this ruin world is a Seventh Tribulation Eminence at least.

  “Brother Eastcalm,” said Fu Sui via voice transmission.

  Meng Chuan immediately rushed over. Due to the suppression, Meng Chuan’s speed was much lower.

  Swish! Swish! Swish!

  Meng Chuan, Meng Hu, and Black Wind gathered beside Fu Sui.

  “I believe everyone has discovered how extraordinary this ruin is,” said Fu Sui with a smile. “I’ve already died three times here. I’ll give you a brief introduction. When I first came to this ruin world, I realized that this ruin was rather extraordinary. I also sensed that the mountain in the middle of the land was very strange. Therefore, I carefully explored the land and didn’t dare to barge into the black mountain,” explained Fu Sui. “I gained something during my exploration of the land, but I also encountered a forbidden creature.”

  “A forbidden creature?” Meng Chuan and Meng Hu were alarmed.

  They were all members of the Cang Alliance. They could exchange for some benefits by killing forbidden creatures, but they had yet to kill one. This was because there were too few forbidden creatures.

  “There are many forbidden creatures in this ruin,” said Fu Sui solemnly.

  “Many?” Meng Chuan asked in surprise, “How is that possible? It’s very difficult for forbidden creatures to be born. Is this a forbidden creature lair?”

  “No.” Black Wind shook his head. “It doesn’t look like a lair. It’s more like a cage for forbidden creatures.”

  Fu Sui also explained, “Although there are many forbidden creatures in this ruin world, the forbidden creatures here have gone crazy. They are no longer lucid. As for why they’ve gone insane, we aren’t too sure.”
