It’s the Pupil of Darkness. Just as the handsome man was about to retreat, a pair of dark eyes appeared in his mind.
In the past, the weak couldn’t look straight at him when he was in his golden light form. If they did, they would be reduced to ashes.
This time, he didn’t want to see the pair of eyes. However, he couldn’t hide from them. The pair of dark eyes drilled into his heart like a bottomless abyss. His consciousness couldn’t resist sinking into it.
“No—” The handsome man struggled with all his might, but he was no longer able to continue powering the array formation as he sank into oblivion.
The Land of Samsara’s array formation lost one person.
Chapter 680 - Going Too Far!
One wrong step led to many mistakes.
If they knew that their target was a peak Sixth Tribulation Eminence, even a Seventh Tribulation Eminence would have to consider the assault carefully.
According to their understanding, City Lord Eastcalm had been a Fifth Tribulation Eminence not long ago. He had joined the Cang Alliance and established an Eternal Tower branch in Three Bay River System. It hadn’t been long since he became a newly-advanced Sixth Tribulation Eminence. He relied on his relationship with Hall Lord Blazing Sun to cut the queue and head to the Valley of Spacetime.
Although it was later revealed that this newly-advanced Sixth Tribulation Eminence had the strength of a top Sixth Tribulation Eminence and had an extremely powerful Essence Soul mystic technique, they never expected that he could grasp the spatial law and reach the peak of the Sixth Tribulation realm in just 200 years!
That was the spatial law! How could one easily grasp one of the two cornerstones of the universe’s operations?
Although there were ways to accelerate time, one’s cultivation focused on opportunities. For example, Holy Mountain of Painting, Clear Spring Island, Fiend Mountain… Many treasured lands couldn’t accelerate time. Places with time acceleration were limited to special places. For example, in a mystic realm or a Chaos Hole’s depths. If one used this time on many rare lands in the universe, their cultivation efficiency would be higher.
In order not to waste the Void Trileaf Flower and accumulate his insights, Meng Chuan took advantage of time acceleration. Even so, he had only reached the Sixth Tribulation realm after about 2,000 years.
In this era, only a handful of people could grasp the spatial law in such a short period of time.
It’s over. As the handsome man’s consciousness sank, he understood that he had failed. Without his help, the Land of Samsara array formation’s strength decreased drastically. It couldn’t suppress a peak Sixth Tribulation Eminence.
Meng Chuan took a step and arrived beside the handsome man.
How can a newly-advanced Sixth Tribulation Eminence grasp the spatial law? The handsome man could sense an unstoppable force seeping into his body from every corner of the void. Even the space in his body was shattering. The space that his body relied on to survive was destroying him.
He didn’t have an Undying Body technique. Under Absolute Space, his body was instantly destroyed.
…
Spatial law? A gray-robed man was hidden in the dark void. He was none other than Guild Master Darkstar.
He was the one who had ordered this operation.
Darkstar eyed the treasures that Dragon Ancestor had given Meng Chuan. He was worried that City Lord Eastcalm would flee quickly and escape with a Spacetime Teleportation Talisman. Therefore, he secretly followed the team. When the team set up the array formation, he had also set up an array formation that isolated spacetime. Meng Chuan couldn’t escape even if he activated a Spacetime Teleportation Talisman.
Spacetime Teleportation Talismans were very brilliant at escaping. They could utilize time and space to an extremely high degree. Most Seventh Tribulation Eminences found it difficult to intercept them. Of course, when Sixth Tribulation Eminences encountered Seventh Tribulation Eminences, they were usually instantly captured alive. They didn’t have time to use any treasures.
Guild Master Darkstar—who had been carrying out sneak attacks for a long time—had an array formation that isolated spacetime. Furthermore, he had sufficient attainments in spacetime. Even Seventh Tribulation Eminences found it difficult to escape the array formation he set up. They could only fight him in the array formation.
This Meng Chuan has only cultivated for about 5,000 years, yet he has actually grasped the spatial law? Darkstar found it unbelievable.
He could tell at a glance that City Lord Eastcalm, Meng Chuan, was over 5,000 years old.
Top Sixth Tribulation Eminences at such an age were very rare. However, it wasn’t surprising to Darkstar. After all, Meng Chuan had been invited by the Nine Trials Pagoda. It meant that Meng Chuan was naturally somewhat special.
However, a peak Sixth Tribulation Eminence at 5,000 years of age was very terrifying! Such talent had already exceeded many Seventh Tribulation Eminences. It was comparable to Hall Lord White Avian and Celestial Thearch Myriad Star when they were young.
For him to be such a young peak Sixth Tribulation Eminence, the treasures bestowed by the Nine Trials Pagoda must be very precious. A strange color suffused Darkstar’s eyes, and his greed intensified.
Huh? Darkstar’s expression changed.
This was because Meng Chuan had instantly dealt a fatal blow. With a single step, he arrived beside the handsome man. Following that, the handsome man was reduced to dust. As a spatial law controller, Meng Chuan attacked too quickly. Even Darkstar didn’t have time to stop him.
You’ve lost your chance to escape. Darkstar didn’t care too much about it. After all, he was only a Sixth Tribulation subordinate’s avatar. He silently punched out.
…
By the time Meng Chuan took a step and arrived in front of the handsome man, the handsome man was already annihilated.
This was how a peak Sixth Tribulation Eminence could completely crush a top Sixth Tribulation Eminence. The other four top Sixth Tribulation Eminences were alarmed and furious. The elder with a walking stick began to activate a Spacetime Teleportation Talisman.
Huh? Meng Chuan’s expression changed as he turned his head.
A gray-robed man suddenly appeared 50,000 kilometers away from Meng Chuan. This was the closest spot outside Absolute Space. Under the gray robe, he could see a black stone head and a pair of cold eyes.
The gray-robed man punched out. His fist was also made of black rock, and it looked ordinary. When the black rock fist came crashing down, Absolute Space shattered layer by layer.
Guild Master Darkstar. Meng Chuan jolted.
Guild Master Darkstar had established a top faction in the River of Spacetime single-handedly. His Darkstar Guild had attracted many Sixth Tribulation Eminences. He had even attacked half-step Seventh Tribulation and Seventh Tribulation Eminences repeatedly.
He had offended many experts, but he remained fine! This was because… Darkstar was truly very powerful.
Darkstar had grasped the Matter law—which was known as the strongest law of the body! His body was the strongest weapon! After grasping the Matter law, he could combine leptons into many forms. In a head-on battle, he would become extremely terrifying.
Even Realm Ancestor could only rely on his high cultivation realm to toy with Guild Master Darkstar. It was difficult for him to defeat him head-on.
The Immeasurable law and the Matter law represented two extremes.
One had an immeasurable body that was scattered across the universe. The other remained difficult to destroy despite being condensed in front of the opponent.
Swoosh.
Meng Chuan immediately retreated.
Darkstar took a step forward almost at the same time. He remained close to Meng Chuan’s Absolute Space.
“It’s Guild Master.”
“Guild Master is here.” The other four Sixth Tribulation Eminences heaved sighs of relief. The elder with a walking stick—who fled
the fastest—had already activated the Spacetime Teleportation Talisman. His heart immediately ached. My talisman!
The Spacetime Teleportation Talisman turned to dust, but the teleportation failed.
“Oh?” The walking stick elder was taken aback.
Spacetime teleportation failed? Meng Chuan—who had been dodging time and time again—also noticed this scene.
He really is good at dodging. Darkstar sneered. He was indeed not good at domains. Although he had grasped the spatial law and both sides had Absolute Space, he still couldn’t stop Meng Chuan from dodging.
Boom!
Guild Master Darkstar’s body suddenly dissipated and vanished.
Meng Chuan’s expression changed as he looked up.
An exceedingly towering black stone giant appeared in the void. He was extremely massive, and his eyes were much larger than a Supreme Yang Star.
“If you have what it takes, continue fleeing. Try escaping from my grasp.” The towering black stone giant’s gigantic black stone palm covered the area.
This palm spanned more than 5 billion kilometers, completely enveloping the spacetime array formation that Darkstar had secretly set up.
No matter how Meng Chuan fled, he was within the spacetime array formation’s range!
Darkstar struck out with his palm! Everything within the array formation was within his palm.
Other Physical Body Seventh Tribulation Eminences needed to spend a large number of precious treasures to cultivate their bodies. However, Seventh Tribulation Eminences who grasped the Matter law could use leptons to construct their bodies with a thought. They didn’t need any treasures.
It could be big or small, extremely firm or extremely soft.
He’s finished. When the elder with the walking stick and the other Sixth Tribulation Eminences saw this, they couldn’t see any possibility of the peak Sixth Tribulation Eminence resisting.
A peak Sixth Tribulation Eminence might be able to exchange ten strikes with a Seventh Tribulation Eminence, but they were still unable to resist.
“Guild Master Darkstar, you are going too far!”
A terrifying fluctuation erupted from Meng Chuan.
Boom—
In an instant, the shockwaves spread out in all directions. The confident four in the distance were reduced to dust.
Chapter 681 - Taking Action at the Critical Moment!
This was the only offensive move Meng Chuan had obtained from the Nine Trials Pagoda—the Spacetime Token. It was called Spacetime Domain.
One had to grasp the spatial law before they could use the Spacetime Token to cast it. The Spacetime Domain they formed was much stronger than Absolute Space. It was comparable to a Seventh Tribulation domain. Even if it expanded to 5 billion kilometers or 50 billion kilometers, it could still maintain extremely terrifying might.
It was just like how Guild Master Darkstar could instantly transform into a towering giant. A slap covered tens of billions of kilometers wide. Seventh Tribulation Eminences could have terrifying might with every move they made, but their range of influence was also vast.
“No—”
“The Samsara Array Formation!”
The moment the elder with the walking stick and the other three were destroyed by the impact, they didn’t care about their avatars’ destruction or the lost weapons and treasures. However, their hearts ached for the array formation.
The Samsara Array Formation’s full name was Ten Directions Samsara Array Formation. It was an Eighth Tribulation array formation treasure. It was specially bestowed to the core team under the Darkstar Guild. Guild Master Darkstar had nurtured a total of three core teams. They were either bestowed Eighth Tribulation treasures or special treasures. They were teams that could unleash strength comparable to a peak Sixth Tribulation Eminence.
As for sending a peak Sixth Tribulation Eminence to take action? If a peak Sixth Tribulation Eminence wanted to pledge allegiance to anyone, they would do so with Hall Lord White Avian, Celestial Thearch Myriad Star, and company. It would be very difficult for Guild Master Darkstar to command them. Although he had some peak Sixth Tribulation Eminences and half-step Seventh Tribulation allies, he would have to split the benefits if he deployed them.
Darkstar was clearly unwilling to do so.
The stronger one was in the entire River of Spacetime, the more arrogant they could be. They wouldn’t easily pledge their allegiance to people.
For example, below Hall Lord White Avian were three Seventh Tribulation Eminences and seven half-step Seventh Tribulation Eminences. But there were only two who were truly willing to follow Hall Lord White Avian—Deputy Hall Lord Blazing Sun and Deputy Hall Lord Azure Dragon.
Of course, if an Eighth Tribulation Eminence were to appear in this era one day, Seventh Tribulation Eminences would definitely take the initiative to pledge their allegiance to him.
However, Eighth Tribulation Eminences—who were beyond the River of Spacetime—pursued different things from these Seventh Tribulation Eminences. There was no need for them to recruit a Seventh Tribulation follower.
My array formation! Upon seeing this scene, Darkstar immediately wanted to snatch the array formation. He had given it to his team, and the team only had the right to use it.
Even though he had been launching sneak attacks for a long time and had accumulated some Eighth Tribulation treasures, causing him to be considered rich among Seventh Tribulation Eminences, the loss of an Eighth Tribulation array formation treasure still made his heart ache!
After all, apart from the ones he gave to his subordinates, he only had five Eighth Tribulation treasures. Each one of them represented the crystallization of an Eighth Tribulation Eminence’s insights. They were greatly beneficial to his cultivation.
Whoosh.
Darkstar wanted to snatch the Samsara Formation.
But with just a thought, Meng Chuan used his Spacetime Domain to store the treasures left behind by the elder with a walking stick and company.
He snatched the array formation? His domain isn’t Absolute Space. Darkstar stared at Meng Chuan with his massive eyes. He was reeling in anxiety, but he had some guesses.
It’s impossible for an Essence Soul avatar to leave his homeworld with a precious treasure. It should be a treasure bestowed by the Nine Trials Pagoda. It’s probably a treasure worth a million cubes. It has greatly improved his domain. However, these are all mine.
Guild Master Darkstar suppressed his anxiety as his gigantic palm pressed down on the area where the array formation was.
…
Although it took some time to describe, Meng Chuan had instantly killed the remaining four Sixth Tribulation Eminences with his Spacetime Domain. After snatching the treasure, he faced a dire situation.
He looked up into the sky and saw the towering palm descend.
Buzz—
The Spacetime Domain blasted out in all directions, but the Spacetime Domain—which spanned five billion kilometers—was isolated. The Spacetime Domain couldn’t go any further.
I can’t destroy this array formation with just my Spacetime Domain. I have to use the Spacetime Token’s other feature to escape through spacetime. Meng Chuan understood this point. However, Guild Master Darkstar has set up an isolation array formation. If I were to escape through spacetime, all the Seventh Tribulation Eminences in the River of Spacetime will know that I have a rare treasure that allows me to escape through the void.
Of the Spacetime Token’s two features, although the Spacetime Domain was powerful, a peak Sixth Tribulation Eminence could unleash similar might when using a domain-type Eighth Tribulation treasure.
The other feature—Escape—was much more powerful. In this era, only Hall Lord White Avian, Celestial Thearch Myriad Star, or a Seventh Tribulation Eminence could intercept him using an Eternal treasure! This was the most precious aspect of the Spacetime Token.
If Meng Chuan exposed this… he was bound to attract many Seventh Tribulation Emi
nences’ attention.
Boom!
A huge, black stone palm came enveloping downward. It entered the array formation’s range and collided with the Spacetime Domain, meeting a powerful spatial resistance.
Originally, Darkstar could have crushed Meng Chuan in seconds. However, the Spacetime Domain caused the black stone palm to slow down significantly. The spacetime around it became more stable, and its speed became even slower.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
The gigantic palm pressed down as the Spacetime Domain resisted. Every inch of spacetime was shattering.
A domain is ultimately a domain. Darkstar’s eyes were filled with disdain.
In a head-on clash, he was considered extremely powerful among Seventh Tribulation Eminences. To resist him using a mere domain? It was ultimately lacking.
Boom!
Wherever the palm passed, spacetime exploded and shattered.
Meng Chuan—who would’ve been killed in a few seconds—managed to slow down the palm’s speed with his Spacetime Domain. It would take the fatal blow nearly 30 seconds to be dealt.
However, Meng Chuan had nowhere to escape within the array formation.
Block!
Meng Chuan’s Power of Essence Soul formed two dark hands with the Chaos Hole Strong Force Art in an attempt to block.
Pa~
It was as though an ant had raised its two limbs to block an ancient giant’s stomp. Under the black stone palm’s pressure, Meng Chuan’s two dark hands—formed by his mystic technique—were instantly destroyed. The difference was too great.
Buzz.
Meng Chuan also tried using the Pupil of Darkness, but even with the Power of Essence Soul, he couldn’t penetrate the other party’s body. A body formed from the Matter law was too powerful!
I can’t block it at all. I can’t injure him at all either.
Meng Chuan was powerless. Despite using all his available means, Meng Chuan was unable to make a difference against his opponent’s massive, crushing palm at all. Against a Seventh Tribulation Eminence, he couldn’t injure his opponent at all. Even the Spacetime Token was only able to stall for time.
