The other method was to be at an extremely high cultivation realm. One could then sense all karmic attacks within their domain. They could also easily intercept and even sever karmic threads! This was something only Seventh Tribulation Eminences and stronger could do. Therefore, people were very safe when they were beside Seventh Tribulation Eminences. It was impossible for others to ambush a mortal protected by a Seventh Tribulation Eminence.
One of Meng Chuan’s Essence Soul avatars accompanied his grandson and taught him. His true body and three other Essence Soul avatars moved separately, thinking of ways to save Long Han.
Heaven realm.
I can sense that the lass, Long Han, is in the palace ahead. The black-robed, white-haired Meng Chuan stared off into the distance. That palace is close to Realm Palace. With Grandsire Three Stones there, there is no way to rescue her forcefully.
Since the other party had captured Long Han, the Sixth Tribulation Eminence could kill Long Han instantly, even if Meng Chuan launched an all-out attack.
I have to find an opportunity. He definitely has his reasons for not killing Long Han directly. Meng Chuan was very patient.
Earth realm.
One of Meng Chuan’s Essence Soul avatars came to a large island in the Ice Sea. This island was 1,500 kilometers in diameter. It was considered a large island in the Earth realm.
Dragon Island. Meng Chuan solemnly looked at the vast island. A 50-kilometer-deep crater had appeared in the middle of the island. However, countless buildings remained intact beyond this crater. Not a single soul left. Meng Chuan frowned as he looked down.
Dragon Island was an island where the divine dragons had resided for generations. Over a million of them lived on the island. The divine dragons had dragon bloodlines. After generations of proliferation, many experts emerged within their race when their bloodlines awakened.
According to An’er, the divine dragons’ strongest member is a Fourth Tribulation Eminence. There’s also a Second Tribulation Eminence and over ten Imperial Lords. There are over a million clansmen. Meng Chuan looked down. Yet, there’s not a single one left?
Long Han came from Dragon Island. Due to Dragon Island’s nurturing, she had the chance to undergo the Nine Lifetime Samsara Heart Tempering when she was young. Long Han places great importance on the divine dragons. She’s even willing to sacrifice her life for the divine dragons. Meng Chuan pondered. It’s such a highly-populated race. Previously, An’er and his wife sensed that they were fine. Now that I’m here less than two hours later, they have all disappeared?
Whoosh.
His Essence Soul World silently enveloped Dragon Island as he carefully inspected it.
Huh? Meng Chuan’s heart stirred as he landed in an ancient hall on Dragon Island.
Hundreds of jade talismans were enshrined in the hall.
“Guardian, come out,” shouted Meng Chuan as he stood in the hall.
Whoosh.
Black fog immediately rose from the ground and condensed into the form of a dragon-headed elder. He immediately bowed respectfully. “Greetings, Senior. I’m the Guardian of Dragon Island.” Although Dragon Island’s array formation had been destroyed, the Guardians could barely maintain a portion of the array formation. Without the strength of a Tribulation Eminence, it was impossible for one to enter Dragon Island.
With Meng Chuan’s cultivation realm, he immediately learned everything about Dragon Island after his Essence Soul World probed it. He also knew that five Guardians were on the divine dragons’ island. This hall was permanently guarded by one Guardian.
“What happened to the million divine dragons?” asked Meng Chuan. “Senior, truth be told,” replied the dragon-headed elder bitterly, “Fiend Ancestor Skygrief led five Tribulation Eminences and destroyed our array formation with a single palm strike one hour ago. They abducted all the clansmen on Dragon Island. Back then, they didn’t injure a single clansman… However, they must have begun a massacre after the mass-abduction.”
“Massacre?” Meng Chuan frowned as he looked at him. “How do you know?”
“Dragon Island has a way to sense every clansman’s life and death,” said the dragon-headed elder. “After they were abducted, 100,000 ordinary clansmen died. At the same time, three clansmen at and above the Supremacy realm died.”
Meng Chuan looked at the jade talismans and asked, “Three of the jade talismans here have shattered. Does that mean that three Supremacies and stronger have died?”
“That’s right.” The dragon-headed elder nodded. “In the divine dragon race, when one reaches the Supremacy realm, their Life Talismans will be enshrined here. This is because Supremacies often roam the world. By doing this, the clan can also learn of their fate at any time.”
“What relationship do these three people have with Long Han?” asked Meng Chuan.
The dragon-headed elder was stunned by Meng Chuan’s question.
Long Han was one of the divine dragons’ Imperial Lords. She was naturally valued by Dragon Island.
“Indeed. The three deceased were very close to Long Han,” said the dragon-headed elder. “Long Han’s parents died when she was still young. Therefore, she lived in her master’s house. The three who died are Long Han’s master, senior brother, and junior sister.”
Damn it. Meng Chuan’s expression sank. He wanted to save Long Han and protect the divine dragons. Only then would things be considered well-settled. Now that the three clansmen Long Han was close to had died, Meng Chuan was rather furious. I have to think of a way to save as many people as possible. Since the situation has already reached this point, Long Han will probably suffer a fate worse than death if over a million divine dragon clansmen are killed. An’er will then blame himself for the rest of his life.
Although a small number of divine dragon clansmen roamed the outside world, the million-plus clansmen on Dragon Island were the divine dragons’ most important members. They were also the clansmen Long Han was most familiar with. The more he saved, the better.
Heaven realm.
In a palace beside the World Realm.
“Palace Lord.” The three Fifth Tribulation Eminences were extremely respectful as they faced the thin, cold elder.
Grandsire Three Stones had long grasped a Sixth Tribulation law. He was the strongest expert in Earth Cloud Mystic Realm. His body had recently broken through, giving him the impetus to refine the Realm Palace. He clearly wasn’t far from becoming the mystic realm’s lord, so these Fifth Tribulation Eminences naturally became more respectful.
“Have you finished investigating?” asked Three Stones coldly.
“We used the divine dragon clansmen’s lives to threaten her. We used her closest acquaintances-her master, senior brother, and junior sister—to threaten her ten times in a row. We killed 10,000 clansmen each time. We also killed her master, senior brother, and junior sister,” said a black-haired, green-eyed man. “I even controlled her Essence Soul and flipped through her memories. Everything that can be interrogated has been determined.”
A slightly plump, noble-looking woman beside him said, “However, what we obtained wasn’t of much use. All we know is that Island Lord Feather Dragon came from outside the mystic realm. He came to our Earth Cloud Mystic Realm 2,100 years ago. Back then, he was only at the perfected Supremacy realm. After that, he advanced by leaps and bounds and reached the Third Tribulation realm.”
“That’s all?” Three Stones frowned. The one here was only an embodiment. One of his two true bodies was in the outer realm, while the other was refining the Realm Palace.
“There’s no other useful intelligence,” said the black-haired, green-eyed man. “When I flipped through her memories, I discovered that some of her memories—which should’ve existed-have been removed. Those memories are key, but there’s no way to dig into them.”
“Then control her,” instructed Three Stones. “Control her with your Essence Soul and make her loyal to me. She will be on our side and will help us think of a way to deal w
ith that Island Lord Feather Dragon.” “Yes,” replied the three Fifth Tribulation Eminences respectfully.
Moments later,
A white-robed woman’s eyes burned as she looked at Grandsire Three Stones. She was extremely respectful. “Greetings, Palace Lord.”
“What else do you know about your husband?” asked Three Stones.
“I’ve told you everything I know.” The white-robed woman immediately knelt down and guiltily said, “However, my memories have been completely severed. I can’t retrieve them.”
“Tell me, how should we make Island Lord Feather Dragon return without a fuss?” asked Three Stones with a smile.
The white-robed woman tried her best to think, but she shook her head slightly in pain. “He only said that he wanted Senior to send someone to Goddess River Zone and seek him out through karma. I don’t have any other solution… No… perhaps there’s another solution.”
“Oh?” Three Stones and the three Fifth Tribulation Eminences beside him looked at Long Han. “I can sense that a lifeform with a very strong karmic connection with me is in the Earth realm,” said the white-robed woman curiously. “I don’t know this lifeform, but the karmic connection between us is much stronger than the one I had with Master, Senior Brother, and Senior Sister. It’s even stronger than the karma between Feather Dragon and me.”
“Oh?” Three Stones’s eyes lit up. Island Lord Feather Dragon and Long Han are husband and wife. Who is that lifeform with a stronger karmic connection?
“I didn’t manage to find this person when I flipped through her memories,” said the black-haired, green-eyed man immediately. “She must have erased her memories to hide everything about this person.”
“Where is he?” asked the noble woman.
“I’m only an Imperial Lord, so I can’t determine that lifeform’s location when we’re separated by a world,” said Long Han respectfully. “However, the closer I am, the more accurate my senses will be.”
Three Stones nodded. “Very good. One of your true bodies shall stay here. Your other true body will follow Fiend Ancestor Skygrief to Earth realm and find the lifeform with extremely strong karmic ties with you.”
“Yes.” Long Han was extremely respectful. Her two true bodies were imprisoned here.
“I’ll bring her to Earth realm now.” The black-haired, green-eyed man was very excited.
Chapter 614 - Saving Long Han
“To go as far as hiding her memories by removing them… They definitely don’t want me to discover this person,” said Three Stones solemnly. “This person might be the key to breaking the stalemate. Brother Skygrief, you have to capture this person alive.”
“Palace Lord, don’t worry,” replied Fiend Ancestor Skygrief with a nod.
In the entire Earth Cloud Mystic Realm, Fiend Ancestor Skygrief only listened to Grandsire Three Stones’s orders. As for the other Fifth Tribulation Eminences? They were, at most, on par with him. None of them could threaten him. Thus, Fiend Ancestor Skygrief acted even more brazenly in Earth Cloud Mystic Realm. “Let’s go.” Fiend Ancestor Skygrief left the hall with Long Han.
As he watched them leave, Grandsire Three Stones’s eyes were filled with anticipation. He only had an embodiment here, so he could only leave the trivial matters to his subordinates. Fiend Ancestor Skygrief was strong, ruthless, and meticulous. Three Stones was very satisfied with having him as his subordinate.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Fiend Ancestor Skygrief flew with Long Han.
The Heaven realm was vast, but there were very few living beings. This was because the Essence Energy here was much denser and more violent than in the outer realm. Supremacies would be injured if they stayed in such an environment. Therefore, only Imperial Lords and Tribulation Eminences stayed here for prolonged periods. Naturally, few living beings could be seen here. Whoosh.
A luxurious airship flew through the clouds. On it were three Tribulation Eminences and a group of Imperial Lords. They were drinking and chatting
“It’s Fiend Ancestor Skygrief.” The leading Fourth Tribulation Eminence immediately stood up when he saw the traveling duo from afar. The other Tribulation Eminences and Imperial Lords jumped in fright and hurriedly stood up.
The Fourth Tribulation Eminence bowed. “Greetings, Fiend Ancestor. I’m Fang Rui.”
“Greetings, Fiend Ancestor.” The other Tribulation Eminences and Imperial Lords bowed extremely respectfully. They didn’t even dare to raise their heads. A Fourth Tribulation Eminence might have the confidence to deal with Fiend Ancestor Skygrief, but Third Tribulation Eminences and those weaker would be extremely afraid. This was because Fiend Ancestor Skygrief could wipe them out easily.
Fiend Ancestor Skygrief glanced at Fang Rui and tersely replied before continuing on his journey with Long Han.
“He’s gone.” The cultivators heaved sighs of relief.
“I never expected to encounter Fiend Ancestor Skygrief on this trip.”
“Fiend Ancestor Skygrief is temperamental. We will be dead if we anger him.” “Thankfully, Fiend Ancestor Skygrief couldn’t be bothered with us.”
The Tribulation Eminences and Imperial Lords were glad.
Only the Fifth Tribulation Eminences could do whatever they wanted in the Heaven realm. Grandsire Three Stones was too mysterious, and he seldom showed himself. Among the Fifth Tribulation Eminences, Fiend Ancestor Skygrief was famous for being temperamental. He was a great demon. This naturally made the cultivators in the Heaven realm fear him.
Fiend Ancestor Skygrief led Long Han to the Earth realm.
“My perception of that person is much clearer now.” Long Han’s eyes lit up as she pointed into the distance. “The person is in that direction. We should arrive in about 30 seconds if we continue at our current flying speed.” “The person is that close?” Fiend Ancestor Skygrief was delighted. Even at this moment, Fiend Ancestor Skygrief didn’t raise his guard because he was used to it. In his eyes, nothing posed a danger to him in Earth Cloud Mystic Realm.
“Let’s go.” Fiend Ancestor Skygrief led Long Han on their way.
At this moment
A bolt of lightning emerged from a spacetime rift. The moment it appeared, it arrived in front of Fiend Ancestor Skygrief.
Fiend Ancestor Skygrief was furious.
The lightning bolt was too fast! A complete lightning law was even faster than paramount speed laws. It affected the flow of time by an even higher degree. The bolt of lightning traversed the spacetime rift, appearing and striking Fiend Ancestor Skygrief the moment it appeared.
Fiend Ancestor Skygrief only had enough time to be alarmed. Before he could react, he was already struck.
Boom!
Only the rumbling of thunder remained in Fiend Ancestor Skygrief’s consciousness. His powerful fiend body was instantly obliterated by the lightning.
It was completely destroyed!
Fourth Tribulation Eminences were unable to resist a Fifth Tribulation Eminence’s attacks at all. The difference between a Fifth Tribulation Eminence and a Sixth Tribulation Eminence was even greater. Meng Chuan didn’t even use a Tribulation treasure. Just a single lightning bolt was enough to annihilate Fiend Ancestor Skygrief completely.
Long Han couldn’t help but be stunned when Fiend Ancestor Skygrief was killed. Before she could react, time and all fluctuations stopped.
Time Stillness. The white-robed, white-haired Meng Chuan appeared. Meng Chuan was very happy when he sensed Long Han leaving Grandsire Three Stones’s palace! If Long Han had been by Grandsire Three Stones’s side, he really wouldn’t have been able to save her.
Three Stones was too confident because he had always been Earth Cloud Mystic Realm’s strongest expert.
Meng Chuan was cautious. He waited for Skygrief and Long Han to arrive before taking action! Due to the fact that they were separated by a world, Three Stones couldn’t perceive the events taking place here, even when he used all his means.
Long Han. Meng Chuan looked at the
motionless, white-robed woman. He knew that she was An’er’s wife.
He had been unable to use Time Stillness when he was dealing with Fiend Ancestor Skygrief! However, when facing Long Han—who was
uch weaker than him-Meng Chuan could make time stop completely. He could leap out of the timeline and have full freedom at that point in time.
Undying Talismans. Meng Chuan took out three Undying Talismans. They flew into Long Han’s sleeve. At the same time, three drops of blood flew out from Long Han’s finger and fused with the Undying Talismans.
In fact, she just needed to place her Essence Soul mark on the talismans. However, an Imperial Lord’s blood also had their Essence Soul mark. Thus, it was sufficient to have her blood fuse with the Undying Talismans.
Three Undying Talismans can give her at least six hours of immortality. Meng Chuan’s heart relaxed as he examined Long Han with the Power of Essence Soul.
Her Essence Soul has been controlled. The one controlling her Essence Soul has relatively weak cultivation. It’s still very easy to restore her individuality. As an Essence Soul Sixth Tribulation Eminence, Meng Chuan only took ten seconds to restore Long Han’s Essence Soul completely.
Another drop of blood flew out from Long Han’s fingertip. Meng Chuan reached out and caught it.
Long Han’s blood was faintly golden. Long Han also had a dragon bloodline. She was an Imperial Lord with a dragon bloodline, so her blood was naturally extraordinary.
Annihilate. With this drop of blood, Meng Chuan instantly locked onto Long Han’s other true body in the Heaven realm.
With her blood as a medium, he could kill all her true bodies and avatars. Of course, Meng Chuan had a choice now. He avoided Long Han’s true body—which was beside him—and locked onto her other true body in the Heaven realm.
