Wake up, wake up, wake up! Lord of Scarlet struggled with all his might.
But he felt that the endless darkness was too deep. It constantly dragged his consciousness into oblivion. He looked at the outside world and frantically resisted time and time again. Finally, his consciousness rushed out of the deep darkness with a poof. He could finally clearly sense his body and the outside world. The outside world no longer appeared distorted and became normal.
Boom!
Only then did Lord of Scarlet realize that another lightning spear had pierced his body. Large amounts of lightning were wreaking havoc in his body.
Lord of Scarlet had grasped two Sixth Tribulation laws. One was the law of blood, and the other was the law of gravity. With the two laws combined, he cultivated an extremely powerful body. This outer realm true body took more than 100,000 Outer Realm Essence Crystals to cultivate, making it formidable. Even if he stood there, it was very difficult for other peak Sixth Tribulation Eminences to injure him heavily. Thirty percent of my body was destroyed after my consciousness sank for only a few seconds? Lord of Scarlet was secretly alarmed. Even though he didn’t use any defensive moves and allowed the attacks to hit him without any resistance, it was still terrifying to have 30% of his body destroyed.
This lightning spear caused my body to collapse at the leptonic level? Lord of Scarlet realized this. “Die!”
Lord of Scarlet didn’t have time to think as he instantly drew his saber.
Boom.
The saber beam traversed hundreds of millions of kilometers and struck Meng Chuan. Meng Chuan dissipated like a bubble, appearing hundreds of millions of kilometers away.
Meng Chuan shook his head slightly. “Too slow.”
In terms of movement techniques, Meng Chuan-who had grasped the lightning law and lepton law—was indeed much stronger. He easily dodged his opponent’s attacks. In fact, even if his opponent struck him, he wouldn’t be able to threaten his leptonic Undying Body. However, Meng Chuan didn’t want to be hit.
With his strike missing its target, Lord of Scarlet was just about to unleash greater might when he felt a pair of dark eyes appear in his mind.
It’s here again!
The dark eyes stared at Lord of Scarlet as he sank into oblivion once again. The scene outside became distorted and illusory.
Break! Break! Break! I need to break through this! Lord of Scarlet struggled with all his might.
Finally, his struggles paid off. At that moment, his body had already transformed into surging waves of blood. His injuries were even worse than before.
Although Lord of Scarlet’s perception of the outside world was blurry, he knew very well that City Lord Eastcalm had once again bombarded him with his lightning spears. Furthermore, Meng Chuan wanted to capture him and throw him into a prison. Therefore, Lord of Scarlet completely dissipated into a sea of blood with his vague control over his body.
Lord of Scarlet’s body was powerful when condensed. When completely separated, his life-preservation means as a sea of blood were even stronger.
Another 30% was destroyed? Won’t I be doomed if this happens one more time? Lord of Scarlet felt extremely weak. Clearly, even the sea of blood would still be destroyed at the leptonic level.
His Essence Soul mystic technique is too terrifying. I need to leave immediately. Lord of Scarlet didn’t dare hesitate. This true body had cost more than 100,000 cubes to cultivate; it would be a waste if it was completely destroyed.
He immediately activated a Spacetime Teleportation Talisman.
Buzz.
He immediately fled with his body. As he fled, he discovered a pair of dark eyes appearing in his mind again.
Whoosh.
Following that, the black eye vanished from his mind. Thankfully, I fled quickly. At this moment, Lord of Scarlet was actually glad that he had been decisive. If he had been any slower, he probably would have died.
Chapter 670 - Avoid Him
The black-robed, white-haired Meng Chuan stood in the void and frowned slightly. Spacetime teleportation? Lord of Scarlet sure fled quickly.
Meng Chuan knew Black Fiend Hall’s style very well.
To Supremacies, Imperial Lords, and the weaker cultivators in the outer realm, Black Fiend Hall represented destruction. The latter made the former feel despair and fear. It was a behemoth that they couldn’t resist.
But in the eyes of Sixth Tribulation Eminences like Meng Chuan, Black Fiend Hall was like a cunning wolf! They were ferocious and ruthless, but they took the initiative to avoid the factions directly under Sixth and Seventh Tribulation Eminences. They didn’t hesitate to pounce on the weak and devour them completely, but they were extremely cautious when facing powerful enemies.
If they were truly angered, they would spare no expense to take action and crack the tough nut! For example, Master Poison Eye—who abhorred evil-had specially targeted them. Dealt pain, Black Fiend Hall didn’t hesitate to attack him at all costs. Even a Seventh Tribulation Eminence attacked him. However, when Manor Lord Centaurea stepped forward to protect him, they gave up.
Meng Chuan had only killed two small teams from Black Fiend Hall; he hadn’t even killed a Sixth Tribulation Eminence. He didn’t make Black Fiend Hall feel the ‘pain’ yet. It just embarrassed the Sixth Tribulation Eminence. I gave Black Fiend Hall a setback. I thought they would set up an array formation when attacking, sending a few Sixth Tribulation Eminences to attack me together. Meng Chuan sensed his surroundings. Who knew that only Lord of Scarlet came.
Meng Chuan was very cautious. He only sent an Essence Soul avatar out of Thousand Mountain Star to meet the enemy. He didn’t bring any treasures with him.
Even if the other party had set up an ambush, the loss of an Essence Soul avatar wasn’t even considered a loss of ‘a single cube.’
Swoosh.
After confirming that there were no enemies, Meng Chuan returned to Thousand Mountain Star.
Black Fiend Hall’s territory in Nebula Palace. In the same hall as before.
“Eastcalm appeared the moment I arrived outside Thousand Mountain Star,” said Lord of Scarlet as he sat there. He scoffed. “He only sent an Essence Soul avatar. From the looks of it, he’s afraid of being beaten to death by me.”
“An Essence Soul avatar is nothing to an Essence Soul Tribulation Eminence.”
“He probably came out to probe the situation.”
The other Sixth Tribulation Eminences also looked forward to hearing about the development of the situation. They were very confident in Lord of Scarlet. He was powerful in head-on battles. Furthermore, his Blood Corrosion ability was extremely powerful. He could silently corrode a weak cultivator’s body from within, and the victim wouldn’t know that their blood would quickly spread to other cultivators after they entered Thousand Mountain Star.
In less than a day, all the tens of thousands of cultivators on Thousand Mountain Star would be corrupted. When that happened, their lives would be completely under Lord of Scarlet’s control.
Even a Sixth Tribulation Eminence would find it difficult to detect the Blood Corrosion. Therefore, when Lord of Scarlet took the initiative to attack, the other members felt that he was a suitable candidate. Slaughtering thousands of thousand Mountain Star cultivators under City Lord Eastcalm’s nose was Lord of Scarlet’s original plan. “This Eastcalm sure is arrogant.” Lord of Scarlet snorted coldly. “I… Oh?” Lord of Scarlet’s expression changed slightly.
“What’s wrong?” asked the purple-robed man.
Lord of Scarlet frowned and sat there silently.
The other Sixth Tribulation Eminences exchanged looks. They guessed that Lord of Scarlet had likely engaged City Lord Eastcalm in battle.
“A bunch of fools!” Lord of Scarlet suddenly flew into a rage, his blood-colored eyes filled with killing intent.
The other Sixth Tribulation Eminences in the hall were alarmed.
“What happened? City Lord Eastcalm knows that we were coming and laid an ambush?”
asked the purple-robed man.
“It would’ve been fine if there was an ambush.” Lord of Scarlet gritted his teeth. “Black Fiend Hall’s intelligence officers are all fools. They missed out on so much intelligence on City Lord Eastcalm that it screwed me badly.” “Screwed you badly?” The purple-robed man was solemn. The other Sixth Tribulation Eminences felt their hearts tighten. Lord of Scarlet was a top Sixth Tribulation Eminence, yet he was screwed badly? “In just two or three moves, more than half of my body was destroyed,” said Lord of Scarlet through gritted teeth. “If I were a step slower, I would have died there.”
“How can this be?”
“What happened?” The Sixth Tribulation Eminences were alarmed. Even with Lord of Scarlet’s life-preservation means, he had nearly died there. Most of them would be sending themselves to their deaths if they had gone.
Lord of Scarlet shook his head. “City Lord Eastcalm didn’t use any tricks. He only used an Essence Soul avatar. He didn’t even use any treasures, yet he nearly killed me in two or three moves.”
“An Essence Soul avatar is this powerful without using any treasures?” The purple-robed man was astonished. “At the Sixth Tribulation realm, I’m afraid only peak Sixth Tribulation Eminences can threaten him. It’s useless for other Sixth Tribulation Eminences to go.” Lord of Scarlet was very certain of this. “He’s very terrifying in a head-on battle. I can be certain that he has mastered the lightning law and the lepton law at least. The lightning law is more powerful when it comes to destruction. The lepton law is even more terrifying. How many Sixth Tribulation Eminences can withstand the destructive power from the combination of two laws at the leptonic level?”
“Lepton law?”
“Lepton Undying Body?”
Everyone present was alarmed.
Among Sixth Tribulation Eminences, the Undying Body of the Past and the Lepton Undying Body were terrifyingly famous. Only those who had grasped a spatial law could deal with them.
If one couldn’t kill their opponent, they could only allow their opponent to attack them freely.
An expert who had grasped the lepton law could attack from the leptonic level with terrifying destructive power.
“With just these two laws, he can only suppress you at best,” said the purple-robed man. “It’s impossible for him to nearly kill you in two or three moves.”
The other Sixth Tribulation Eminences agreed with this point.
The combination of the lightning law and the lepton law was indeed rather terrifying. However, Meng Chuan was ultimately just a top Sixth Tribulation Eminence. He could only suppress Lord of Scarlet. Without exchanging hundreds or thousands of blows, it would be difficult for him to injure Lord of Scarlet heavily.
“Yes, that’s not what’s most terrifying about him.” Lord of Scarlet gritted his teeth. “It’s his Essence Soul mystic technique! Once his Essence Soul mystic technique is used, my consciousness was dragged into a bottomless abyss. At that moment, I had no strength to resist.
“Unable to resist, I could only take a beating. Therefore, I was nearly killed in two or three moves,” said Lord of Scarlet. The other Sixth Tribulation Eminences were alarmed.
“With your powerful body, you can greatly weaken an Essence Soul mystic technique’s impact.” The purple-robed man was solemn. “Even so, you didn’t have the strength to resist?”
The difference between resisting and not resisting was stark.
If Lord of Scarlet had used a defensive move, he could’ve withstood 70-80% of Meng Chuan’s Chaos Hole Lightning Spear’s might The remaining power would’ve been greatly weakened by his body, but the damage to his body would be negligible. He would probably recover in the blink of an eye. No matter how long the two sides fought, it would be impressive if Meng Chuan could heavily injure Lord of Scarlet.
Without any resistance, the attack struck his body at full force. In less than ten seconds, Meng Chuan nearly killed Lord of Scarlet.
“Black Fiend Hall’s intelligence was so wrong.” Lord of Scarlet gritted his teeth in anger. “He must be targeting me now.”
For the sake of two branch teams, he had formed a grudge with City Lord Eastcalm. Lord of Scarlet was fuming.
I usually would hide from such a terrifying expert, yet I formed a grudge with him? Furthermore, I have a feeling that this City Lord Eastcalm still has some tricks up his sleeve. Lord of Scarlet recalled how Meng Chuan had easily seen through the spacetime profundities when he used his Scarlet domain. Meng Chuan had easily avoided his saber strike from beginning to end. “With such strength, it’s no wonder he dared to spoil our plans.” The purple-robed man frowned slightly. He was slightly stronger than Lord of Scarlet, but he was barely stronger. He didn’t have the confidence to deal with City Lord Eastcalm either.
“Let’s report this matter,” said a gray-robed woman. “We won’t be able to deal with it.”
“Report it.”
“Let the higher-ups decide,” said the other Sixth Tribulation Eminences. Facing an existence that nearly killed Lord of Scarlet in two or three moves, especially when the other party only sent an Essence Soul avatar without carrying a Tribulation treasure… Just the thought of it left them shuddering in fear.
A seated illusory fog existence flipped through the dossiers.
The dossier recorded the battle between Lord of Scarlet and Meng Chuan. It even recorded the battle scenes.
“City Lord Eastcalm, Meng Chuan?” The illusory fog existence looked at the dossier and muttered softly, “I originally thought that he was only a newly-advanced Sixth Tribulation Eminence. Who knew that he had hidden his strength so well? At the very least, he has grasped two laws—the lightning law and the lepton law-and cultivates an Essence Soul mystic technique that Lord of Scarlet couldn’t resist at all?
“From the Essence Soul mystic technique’s effects, it should be the Pupil of Darkness.
“Meng Chuan is also a Fiend Mountain member. His willpower should be extremely high. That’s why his Pupil of Darkness is this powerful.
“A newly-advanced Sixth Tribulation Eminence. How long has he cultivated? Yet, he has already grasped two Sixth Tribulation laws.
“He headed to the Valley of Spacetime and once headed to the Endless Belts of Wind, Holy Mountain of Painting, and Ice River Nebula… After he reached the Sixth Tribulation realm, he should be focusing on cultivating the spatial law. However, he has secretly grasped two other Sixth Tribulation laws. His talent is truly astonishing.
“He was recommended by Hall Lord Blazing Sun before he gained entry into the Valley of Spacetime.
“He was sent into Clear Spring Island by Fiend Eye.
“He’s a newly-advanced Sixth Tribulation Eminence, yet he’s so powerful. His willpower is also very strong, and he has obtained White Avian Hall and Fiend Eye’s favor.” The illusory fog existence’s lips curled up slightly. “Fiend Eye, you don’t do things without benefits in store. You are much more cunning than our Black Fiend Hall.”
“Furthermore, he comes from Archean Eon Realm, so he doesn’t lack resources. It’s difficult to prevent him from rising to prominence.” The illusory fog made a judgment.
It was already very difficult to suppress Meng Chuan at the present stage. Based on Meng Chuan’s cultivation speed, it was possible that a Seventh Tribulation Eminence would soon find it difficult to kill him.
The illusory fog existence relied on the current intelligence to make a judgment. Back then, before Meng Chuan comprehended the lepton law, Fiend Eye had probed Meng Chuan’s future one after another. He had realized that Meng Chuan’s rise could not be prevented.
As he flipped through the dossier, the illusory fog existence nodded slightly. From the intelligence, Meng Chuan doesn’t participate in any of Eternal Tower or White Avian Hall’s large-scale operations. He focuses on cultivation and seldom stirs trouble.
He immediately flipped his hand and took out a brush. He wrote two words on the dossier: “Avoid him.”
For someo
ne who didn’t cause trouble and had terrifying talent, all they needed to do was avoid him.
Chapter 671 - Spoils
In a chamber inside of Earth Cloud Mystic Realm’s Realm Palace, Meng Chuan sat cross-legged. With a wave of his hand, a large number of items flew out. There were shrunken ships, chains, sabers, blood wheels, and various treasures. There were also various storage treasures, mobile grotto-heavens, protective robes, and life-preservation talismans.
Changpo Planet was relatively close to Taidong River Zone. After killing the Black Fiend Hall team, Meng Chuan sent the war spoils to Taidong River Zone.
A large number of treasures piled up into a hill, occupying half of the chamber. Meng Chuan looked up. I have to filter them carefully. I have to make more preparations for my homeworld’s juniors.
For example, Ancestral Master Archean Eon was considered rich among Seventh Tribulation Eminences. The Eternal treasure, Great Seal, couldn’t be exposed to the public. The other treasures were worth between 60 to 90 million cubes.
Was that a lot?
If his expenditure didn’t increase, at a rate of one Outer Realm Essence Crystal per year, all of that would be completely consumed in about 100 million years.
Thus, Ancestral Master Archean Eon had set up multiple restrictions. Most of the time, he required the sect to form a self-sufficient cycle. He only allowed them to use the sect’s treasures for special reasons. The higher one’s talent was, the more worthy they were to be nurtured. If they were mediocre… he would rather wait thousands of years for a genius to appear.
Thankfully, Meng Chuan appeared over one million years after Ancestral Master Archean Eon died. Many of Ancestral Master’s precious treasures remained.
These can be sold through Eternal Tower.
These are useful for Archean Eon Realm. I’ll bring them back and put them in the treasure vault.
Meng Chuan quickly dealt with the war spoils. He had to identify many treasures quickly. Soon, he categorized the hill-like treasures in front of him. He only left behind the storage treasures and mobile grotto-heavens.
