  “After guarding this place for tens of thousands of years, you betrayed this place?” Meng Chuan looked at him.

  “Supremacies only have 2,000-year lifespans, while Imperial Lords only have 10,000-year lifespans,” said Cave Lord Changpo. “I established Changpo Planet, and it benefited many generations of cultivators. Now that I’m old, it’s not too much to take back some treasures, right?”

  “You aren’t asking for treasures; you want to take away their lives. If you had massacred them… Eternal Tower’s Sixth Tribulation Eminences would have long taken action. Therefore, you got Black Fiend Hall to step in,” said Meng Chuan. “You clearly don’t want any accidents to happen.”

  “However, accidents still happen. Things often develop unexpectedly,” said Cave Lord Changpo. “Thankfully, I was prepared. The treasures I obtained through normal means have long been sent back to my homeworld.”

  Cave Lord Changpo looked down. “But the true wealth of Changpo Planet lies in the tens of thousands of cultivators. One has to kill them to plunder it all. I did it when I was weak, but I haven’t done it since I became a Supremacy. However, my homeworld will decline after my death. I also need enough treasures to build a foundation. For the sake of my homeworld’s survival, I can only be ruthless.”

  Cave Lord Changpo looked at Meng Chuan. “The reason why I stayed behind to meet you is that I admire you, City Lord Eastcalm. In the entire River of Spacetime, there are very few Eminences like you.”

  As he spoke, his skin began to turn black. “I’m despicable. I was afraid that you would capture me alive and make me suffer. Therefore, I took poison the moment you descended,” said Cave Lord Changpo with a smile.

  Meng Chuan had long seen through it. From the lepton level, he realized that the other party had been deeply poisoned. Furthermore, the other party’s body was beginning to disintegrate. It was difficult for Meng Chuan to reverse the situation.

  “Before this operation, all my treasures were sent back to my homeworld.” Cave Lord Changpo stared at Meng Chuan as his body disintegrated. “I still have 300 years left to live. I won’t take another step out of my homeworld. It’s my honor to see City Lord Eastcalm on my final day in the outer realm.”

  With that said, Cave Lord Changpo’s body was annihilated into nothingness.

  Chapter 668 - Lord of Scarlet

  The strong prey on the weak. They plunder other cultivators to benefit themselves. Meng Chuan watched this scene. Why do they keep thinking of slaughtering and plundering? There are clearly other good paths to take.

  Becoming stronger through cultivation was the most orthodox path.

  If one focuses all their thoughts of slaughtering and plundering on cultivation, they will definitely become stronger. An ordinary Fifth Tribulation Eminence has a chance of becoming a top Fifth Tribulation Eminence or even a peak Fifth Tribulation Eminence. If they are strong, the number of treasures they obtain will naturally increase greatly. In Meng Chuan’s eyes, those who slaughtered and plundered were the River of Spacetime’s parasites. Meng Chuan understood Cave Lord Changpo’s final choice, but he looked down on him. If one’s mind wasn’t strong, they could only unleash 50% of their full potential.

  With a powerful mind, one could even produce miracles, exceeding even their full potential.

  When one became stronger, they naturally would gain more treasures.

  Relying on plundering? Those were acts of parasites!

  Meng Chuan looked down. Although he had tried his best to rush over, thousands of cultivators had still died. He sighed softly and took a step forward and appeared outside of the city. He silently waited for the Eternal Tower members to arrive and clean up the mess.

  Meng Chuan didn’t notice that one of the hundreds of Black Fiend Hall Imperial Lord servants he had casually killed was a red-robed cultivator.

  In a distant world of life, deep in a mountain range.

  An angry roar sounded from a dark-red cave abode.

  “Ahhh! Damn it!” A terrifying might erupted from the depths of the cave abode. It spread in all directions, causing the surrounding mountains to melt instantly, turning into magma. The surrounding 400 kilometers were completely destroyed.

  His cave abode, his disciples, servants, and even some mortals in the surrounding villages had all transformed into surging magma. Magma surged for 400 kilometers. The red-robed cultivator stood in midair, unable to vent his anger.

  “My treasure map. My treasure map. It’s mine.” The red-robed cultivator was extremely furious. Although he had yet to figure out the treasure map’s origins, the effects he had discovered were already unimaginable. It exceeded all the treasures he had seen in the outer realm, including all the ones in the Eternal Tower branch. For this treasure, he was willing to be a servant.

  asu

  Just as his 1,000 years of servitude was nearly up, an accident happened while slaughtering Changpo Planet.

  “That black-robed, white-haired Eminence…” The red-robed cultivator knew that he had died at the other party’s hands, but he only felt pain. He didn’t dare feel any resentment. He knew very well that even the massive team from Black Fiend Hall had been easily slaughtered. He was definitely one of the peak Eminences in the outer realm. That white-haired man was a terrifying existence that he couldn’t offend. The treasure has fallen into his hands. I’ll never be able to retrieve it. The red-robed cultivator stood there in a daze.

  Some of the other cultivators in this inhabited world could see what was happening here, but nobody dared to come over. After all, this invincible Fiend Lord had the terrifying strength to destroy worlds. All cultivators submitted to his demonic might.

  Nebula Palace, in Black Fiend Hall’s territory.

  In one of the halls.

  “I never expected that City Lord Eastcalm would really take on the Eternal Tower mission and save the tens of thousands of cultivators on Changpo Planet.” The withered grass lifeform grinned. “This is going to be interesting.”

  Although a branch under them had suffered heavy losses, they didn’t care about it as Black Fiend Hall’s core members.

  This was because the three Fifth Tribulation Eminences in that team were still alive. That team’s core members were still alive. As for the losses at the bottom? How could the core members who could come to Nebula Palace care about that? They were more concerned about a Sixth Tribulation Eminence daring to oppose Black Fiend Hall.

  “City Lord Eastcalm doesn’t have any connection with Changpo Planet and Ingenious Dharma Planet. He hasn’t been to either of those worlds in the past,” said the gray-robed woman. “Who gave him-a newly advanced Sixth Tribulation Eminence—the confidence to dare oppose us twice in a row?”

  “Perhaps he thinks that he has many avatars at the Essence Soul Sixth Tribulation realm and isn’t afraid of us pursuing him.”

  “With the protection of their homeworld, some Sixth Tribulation Eminences occasionally think that they can provoke our Black Fiend Hall.”

  The core members scoffed.

  Since Black Fiend Hall could do as they pleased in the River of Spacetime, they had rules that prevented them from actively offending a Sixth Tribulation Eminence. However, they also had ruthless means to deal with a Sixth Tribulation Eminence.

  “City Lord Eastcalm attacked twice in a short period of time,” said the purple-robed man. “It’s time for us to teach him the rules. Let him pay the price and know the outcome of antagonizing us.”

  Black Fiend Hall had different levels of retaliation when dealing with Sixth Tribulation Eminences.

  This was because Sixth Tribulation Eminences with true bodies in their homeworld couldn’t die. Therefore, the most ruthless punishment was a kill order. It prevented Sixth Tribulation Eminences from leaving their homeworld. If they left, they would die.

  However, only Seventh Tribulation Eminences and half-step Seventh Tribulation Eminences had a chance of carrying out the kill order. There were only a few such existences in Black Fiend Hall. />
  Therefore, unless the person in question was too crazy and caused Black Fiend Hall to suffer huge losses, they wouldn’t deploy a Seventh Tribulation Eminence or a half-step Seventh Tribulation Eminence.

  After all, Meng Chuan hadn’t even killed a Sixth Tribulation Eminence’s avatar. There were virtually zero losses for Black Fiend Hall.

  “Teach him a lesson? Who will do it?”

  “We ordinary Sixth Tribulation Eminences really don’t have the confidence to deal with City Lord Eastcalm.”

  The members in the hall discussed who they would send. Most of the core members in the hall were at the Sixth Tribulation realm; only three had reached the peak Sixth Tribulation realm.

  “Leave it to me,” said a stocky man in scarlet armor. He had blood-red eyes and a terrifying baneful aura.

  “I’m at ease now that Lord of Scarlet has taken action.” The purple-robed man smiled. “How do you plan on dealing with him?”

  “He has many Essence Soul avatars. He won’t care even if I destroy his Essence Soul avatar,” said Lord of Scarlet indifferently. “I can’t find a way to enter Earth Cloud Mystic Realm. The only thing that can make him feel the pinch is Thousand Mountain Star. I’ll naturally make him pay the price by making a trip to Thousand Mountain Star.”

  Thousand Mountain Star.

  Meng Chuan was cultivating in a chamber with his eyes closed when he suddenly sensed something

  I sense a bloody, evil Sixth Tribulation Eminence appearing. I’ve never seen him before. Meng Chuan frowned slightly.

  Whoosh.

  He immediately split out an Essence Soul avatar.

  The black-robed, white-haired Essence Soul avatar didn’t carry any treasures. With a single step, he traversed the void and arrived more than half a billion kilometers away.

  The void—more than half a billion kilometers away-was originally pitch-black.

  It had now become a sea of blood.

  Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

  In the sea of blood, a man in scarlet armor stood there. His blood-colored eyes calmly looked at Meng Chuan. His skin was covered in layers of green scales, and there was a dark-red color beneath the scales.

  Lord of Scarlet. Meng Chuan immediately recognized him.

  Lord of Scarlet was a top Sixth Tribulation Eminence in Black Fiend Hall.

  Lord of Scarlet stood in the blood-colored sea and calmly looked at Meng Chuan. Just his gaze caused an invisible wail to echo in Meng Chuan’s mind. Of course, with Meng Chuan’s Essence Soul and willpower, it didn’t affect him significantly.

  Lord of Scarlet had a saber by his waist. He stared at Meng Chuan and said, “City Lord Eastcalm, this is the first time we’ve met.” “It’s indeed the first time.” Meng Chuan nodded slightly.

  Lord of Scarlet indifferently stated, “You should know why I’m here.”

  “Just because of that trivial matter?” Meng Chuan smiled indifferently. “In the eyes of Black Fiend Hall, weak Tribulation Eminences and Imperial Lord servants shouldn’t be worth mentioning, right?”

  Chapter 669 - Lord of Scarlet and Meng Chuan

  Lord of Scarlet stared at City Lord Eastcalm in surprise. He originally believed that City Lord Eastcalm would be nervous, afraid, and wary when he came knocking on his door! However, City Lord Eastcalm was very casual and thought nothing of it.

  “Our Black Fiend Hall still takes Sixth Tribulation Eminences’ reputations into account.” Lord of Scarlet’s voice echoed everywhere. “If it’s to help good friends and clansmen, we wouldn’t mind if you wiped out a few Black Fiend Hall branches. If it’s to occasionally complete Eternal Tower’s mission and stop Black Fiend Hall’s operations, we can tolerate it as long as you don’t kill the members of Black Fiend Hall.

  “We have enough tolerance for Sixth Tribulation Eminences. “As for you? You took action twice in a row for people who aren’t related to you. You even killed all the Tribulation Eminences’ true bodies and avatars across space.” Lord of Scarlet’s baneful aura became denser. “We’d taken your reputation into account, but you haven’t done so for Black Fiend Hall in any

  way.”

  Meng Chuan looked at Lord of Scarlet and smiled. “Reputation? So in Lord of Scarlet’s eyes, killing cultivators isn’t worth mentioning. Instead, reputation is more important?”

  Lord of Scarlet narrowed his eyes at Meng Chuan, his eyes turning colder. “You seem to be very unhappy with Black Fiend Hall?”

  “Since you’ve become a fiend, don’t expect me to take your reputation into consideration, or what’s left of it.” Meng Chuan looked at him. “In the entire River of Spacetime, Black Fiend Hall’s reputation is already notorious. Although very few people dare to attack you, there are still many Eminences who have dealt with you. Even Seventh Tribulation Eminences have targeted Black Fiend Hall. Isn’t it because many Eminences are targeting you and are hostile to you that you have these so-called ‘rules?’ You are simply trying your best to make fewer enemies.”

  Lord of Scarlet’s expression darkened.

  Black Fiend Hall’s methods were too ruthless, so it naturally attracted the hostility of some Eminences. Therefore, they had to follow the rules and reduce any possible hostility.

  “Fiends? You’re right. We are fiends.” Lord of Scarlet stared at Meng Chuan. “As a fiend, I want to see how capable you are.”

  As soon as he finished speaking

  Lord of Scarlet’s location became a core of the surrounding spacetime. It caused the spacetime within half a billion kilometers to distort, affecting Thousand Mountain Star as well.

  The distant Thousand Mountain Star array formation isolated all external forces. With a thought, Meng Chuan sent two Supremacieswho happened to be passing by-into Thousand Mountain Star.

  What a powerful domain. Meng Chuan sighed in amazement as he looked around. He saw Lord of Scarlet standing in the middle of the spatial vortex. “Lord of Scarlet, draw your saber.”

  “You aren’t worthy of me drawing my saber.” As Lord of Scarlet spoke, a blood wave flew out from beneath his feet. It instantly passed through the void and arrived in front of Meng Chuan, sweeping across him.

  Every drop of blood in the blood wave was as heavy as a star. When countless drops of blood gathered together, a qualitative change occurred. This blood wave would turn an ordinary Physical Body Sixth Tribulation Eminence into a sieve if swept up by the blood wave. They would probably be corroded and annihilated in a few seconds. Furthermore, this blood wave had some of a Dark Chaos Hole’s might. It could devour everything and distort spacetime. It was difficult to escape.

  Impressive. Meng Chuan sighed softly when he sensed this move. At the same time, he had already phased away and vanished. Meng Chuan clearly had much deeper insights into the Chaos Hole laws.

  He clearly dissected the distortion in spacetime. With a single step, he traversed 50 million kilometers and easily avoided the blood wave. After all, the Meng Chuan here was an Essence Soul avatar. He didn’t want to be tainted by the blood wave.

  “Can you hide?” Lord of Scarlet—who was standing in the middle of the spacetime vortex

  -sent out all the waves of blood beneath his feet with a thought. Eight waves formed, and together with the previous wave, nine blood waves attacked Meng Chuan from all directions.

  Faced with the blood wave attack, Meng Chuan stared at Lord of Scarlet instead.

  Oh? Lord of Scarlet felt that the black-robed, white-haired City Lord Eastcalm’s eyes were as dark as the abyss. He couldn’t help but be drawn in.

  Not good. Lord of Scarlet realized that something was amiss, but he couldn’t escape. His mind and consciousness were completely attracted as he constantly fell toward the bottomless abyss…

  Eighth Tribulation mystic technique-Pupil of Darkness!

  As Meng Chuan’s cultivation improved, the Pupil of Darkness mystic technique had already reached the 65th level. The most important aspect of this mystic technique was Meng Chuan’s willpower.

  Lord o
f Scarlet’s willpower wasn’t as powerful as his combat strength. He was considered a normal Physical Body Sixth Tribulation Eminence. With his powerful body, most Essence Soul Sixth Tribulation Eminences’ Essence Soul mystic techniques couldn’t threaten him. However, Meng Chuan had used an Eighth Tribulation mystic technique. Furthermore, Meng Chuan’s willpower was terrifying The moment Lord of Scarlet’s consciousness sank, the nine blood waves—which were attacking Meng Chuan-completely dissipated.

  Go. Meng Chuan waved his hand again.

  Large amounts of lightning gathered in the surrounding area, instantly condensing into a lightning spear. Under the condensation of countless lightning bolts, the spear itself was dark-black. Arcs of lightning snaked across the surface of the spear.

  Mystic technique-Chaos Hole Lightning Spear!

  After grasping a lepton law, it was obvious that this mystic technique—which used the Chaos Hole law as its core—had become even more powerful. The lightning gathered at the lepton level was even more exquisite. Its density was much higher, making it even darker and heavier.

  Boom!

  The moment the Chaos Hole Lightning Spear condensed, it struck Lord of Scarlet, whose consciousness had sunk into oblivion.

  Go, go, go. Meng Chuan used the Power of Essence Soul to stir the lightning around him and condensed several Chaos Hole Lightning Spears as quickly as possible.

  In nearly a second, nine Chaos Hole Lightning Spears condensed one after another. They struck out one after another with only one identical target-Lord of Scarlet.

  Lord of Scarlet—who had lost consciousnesshad a very weak perception of the outside world. He felt like he was looking at the outside world from deep inside a dark abyss. He saw that the outside world was distorted. Chaos Hole spears distorted as they attacked him. He knew that he had been attacked, but it was difficult for him to put up any defenses. He couldn’t even dodge them.

  Boom! Boom!

  He could only allow the Chaos Hole Lightning Spears to strike his body.
