Deep in the Spacetime Loop, Meng Chuan sank deeper and deeper into the vortex.
The vortex suddenly condensed to a certain limit and began to erupt in reverse!
Big Bang—the restarting of a universe!
Boom!
Meng Chuan—who had been sucked into the middle of the vortex—felt an endless, terrifying explosion!
This explosion wanted to destroy all life in the Spacetime Loop.
This is the moment! Meng Chuan’s eyes lit up.
The Spacetime Loop in its Big Bang state was most terrifying, but it was also the most unstable. This was because the Spacetime Loop needed to withstand the explosive impact within.
The 1,000 Dark Chaos Holes around Meng Chuan instantly gathered. Every ten Chaos Holes instantly condensed into a new large Chaos Hole, and ten of the new Chaos Holes fused into one… In an instant, more than 1,000 Chaos Holes had completely fused into one!
Chaos Holes could indeed devour each other, but a person required extremely high attainments in array formations to instantly fuse more than 1,000 Chaos Holes into one.
Boom!
The final super-large Dark Chaos Hole had reached the limit of Meng Chuan’s control. At this moment, Meng Chuan controlled it with all his might and transformed it into an incomparably large, dazzling saber beam.
Previously, when the 1,000 Chaos Holes was simultaneously transformed into 1,000 Heaven Splitting Blades, Meng Chuan could still maintain the might of each Heaven Splitting Blade and control it with all his heart. However, it was difficult to control this super-large Chaos Hole. The saber beam that took form was difficult to control… It only transformed into a dazzling saber beam.
Light!
An extremely dazzling light!
Let the universe restart! In parallel to the Spacetime Loop’s Big Bang, Meng Chuan delivered his strongest attack.
The third transformation of the Chaos Hole Heaven Splitting Array—Single Slash Heaven Splitting Chaos Split!
Rumble!
The Chaos Hole Heaven Splitting Array—which was created with the opposing Origins laws as its foundation—might not be as good as Palace Lord Skylight’s Skylight Fist, but it was definitely extremely powerful among top Seventh Tribulation Eminences.
In terms of strength, the Single Slash Heaven Splitting Chaos Split was comparable to the snake’s Spacetime Loop. The Big Bang inside the Spacetime Loop exploded in all directions, causing the entire Spacetime Loop to withstand the explosive force in every corner. Even so, it could still withstand it.
Meng Chuan’s terrifying strike slashed in one direction.
The pressure on the Spacetime Loop was already considerably immense when it suffered a terrifying strike that wasn’t inferior to the Big Bang. Furthermore, it was directed in a single direction.
Although the Spacetime Loop was extremely flexible and warped as it resisted the attack with all its might, it eventually exploded.
Boom!
An incomparably dazzling saber beam and the Big Bang exploded in the Spacetime Loop. The two equally powerful moves clashed and spread in all directions.
The shockwave was so powerful that Meng Chuan’s Essence Soul avatar—who didn’t have an array formation protecting him—couldn’t resist it. It couldn’t be helped; Meng Chuan had used all his strength to unleash the Chaos Hole Array’s third transformation. He didn’t even divert his attention to protect himself. In the face of the shockwave, Meng Chuan even took the initiative to dissipate the Essence Soul avatar.
“No!” When Ouroboros used the Spacetime Loop, it also sensed that the explosion in the Spacetime Loop had exceeded its limits. Its eyes were filled with anger and indignation.
Boom!
In the explosion, the Spacetime Loop collapsed, and its entire body was naturally destroyed.
Swoosh.
As the snake exploded and was destroyed, another black-robed, white-haired man instantly flew in from outside the spatial cell.
Life Core. The moment the snake’s true body was destroyed, another of Meng Chuan’s Essence Soul avatars discovered the Life Core imprisoned in the spatial cell. He took a step and arrived in front of the Life Core.
The Life Core was a black snake-shaped bracelet.
The black snake-shaped bracelet floated there, imprisoned by the spatial cell.
This was the relatively easy part about killing Chaos creatures on Dry Origin Mountain. Their Life Cores had already been sealed, making it impossible for them to escape. As long as one successfully killed a Chaos creature’s true body once, they could immediately seize the opportunity to capture the Life Core.
Under Dry Origin Mountain’s suppression, the Chaos creature’s true body was destroyed once. It would take time for it to revive using its Life Core.
Whoosh.
Meng Chuan reached out and grabbed the black snake-shaped bracelet.
The bracelet was a little cold. The moment it was gripped, it was affected by the invisible laws. The black snake-shaped bracelet disintegrated like sand and dissipated into the void.
Huh? The moment the black snake-shaped bracelet disintegrated, Meng Chuan felt a mysterious force surge into his body from his palm and then seeped into his Essence Soul.
At this moment, Meng Chuan felt his Essence Soul become intoxicated.
Perfect devouring? Meng Chuan guessed.
Chaos creatures could eat worlds and other lifeforms to become stronger! However, they could only devour and absorb a portion. But on Dry Origin Mountain, there were laws set by an Eternal existence! Killing Chaos creatures here allowed one to perfectly devour them and form a talent that was most suitable for them. This devouring and conversion efficiency had already exceeded Chaos creatures’ instincts.
Although Meng Chuan felt inebriated, he still flew out of the spatial cell. After he flew out, the empty spatial cell quietly disappeared.
One prisoner corresponded to a cell.
Since the prisoner had been killed, the cell naturally vanished.
…
As Meng Chuan walked on Dry Origin Mountain, he felt his Essence Soul becoming increasingly tipsy. He sat down before laying himself down.
Laying in the forest, Meng Chuan looked at the trees. He closed his eyes and carefully experienced his Essence Soul’s transformation.
Chapter 731 - Devoured Talent
Meng Chuan could sense that his Essence Soul composition gradually changed after the mysterious power seeped into it.
Everything in the universe—be it a drop of water, a blade of grass, a powerful cultivator, or a mysterious Eternal treasure—was composed of countless leptons. By following a particular direction laid out by the study of leptons, one could form the Matter law. By taking another direction, one could form the Immeasurable law…
If one reached the Eternal realm of omniscience, they could use leptons to create any treasure or living being. For example, they could create an Eternal treasure with countless leptons. they could also create an existence similar to Senior Brother Thousand-Hands.
Of course, the difficulty of creating different things was completely different.
Just like how mortals knew how to build houses, the difficulty of building a thatched hut was naturally different from building a hundred-story building. It was the same for Eternal existences. They could construct countless items with lepton, but creating an Eternal treasure required astonishing effort. Eternal existences would rather obtain precious materials from distant spacetime to refine an Eternal treasure. After all, it was very difficult to create an Eternal treasure from nothing.
The composition of leptons was filled with endless confusion for Eighth Tribulation Eminences. Meng Chuan naturally didn’t understand it. However, the slight changes in his Essence Soul affected Meng Chuan.
This is? Meng Chuan opened his eyes and looked around in shock.
The originally beautiful mountain forest distorted and changed, becoming unreal.
Why did the world I sensed change? Although Meng Chuan w
as shocked, he remained calm. He knew that everything was possible when his Essence Soul changed. The opportunities on Dry Origin Mountain are determined by an Eternal existence. A perfect devouring shouldn’t result in any latent problems.
Whoosh!
Whether Meng Chuan had his eyes opened or closed, his perception of his surroundings became increasingly distorted.
The vegetation in front of him distorted as the space around them warped. Everything looked extremely bizarre.
Meng Chuan waited patiently. Two hours, four hours, six hours…
What he sensed became more and more exaggerated.
Everything was completely blurry.
Meng Chuan couldn’t see anything clearly. He only felt that everything was distorted Chaos.
Boom!
Twelve hours later, Meng Chuan’s Essence Soul rumbled. His consciousness completely jumped out of the distorted Chaos and into a wider dimension.
Meng Chuan could see Dry Origin Mountain clearly again. But this time, he stood at a higher level and saw the time flow of Dry Origin Mountain. He saw the next moment, the next, next moment, etc. He also saw the previous scene, the previous, previous scene of Dry Origin Mountain, etc.
Different lifeforms viewed worlds differently. Some lifeforms saw the world as black and white in their eyes, while others saw them as colorful worlds.
Some lifeforms could see normal spaces, but some lifeforms could see layers of different spatial levels. They were born with the ability to travel through the void.
As for some lifeforms, they could clearly see time through their eyes—it was no different from mortals being able to see sunlight and rain. These lifeforms could also clearly see time.
Time was no longer a concept, but a corporeal existence.
That snake is a Chaos creature that’s purely skilled in the spacetime lineage. Perhaps in its eyes, the flow of time is corporeal—something clearly visible. Only after I grasped the six-stroke runic seal mystic technique did I have the right to come to Dry Origin Mountain and obtain this opportunity. With this opportunity, my chances of comprehending the temporal law are much greater.
Meng Chuan was rather excited, but he still knew that there was a long way to reach the Eighth Tribulation realm.
Among Chaos creatures, many had spacetime talents, but how many could become a Chaos overlord? How many could cross the threshold of talent and completely grasp the laws of spacetime?
Even if he could grasp the laws of spacetime, he was still far from reaching the Essence Soul Eighth Tribulation realm… Out of the hundreds of half-step Eighth Tribulation Eminences, only one could reach the Eighth Tribulation realm.
Perhaps it’s because an Eternal existence knows how difficult it is to reach the Eighth Tribulation realm that he bestowed such an opportunity.
Eternal existences could help disciples, but the disciples had to rely on themselves for cultivation.
For instance, Daolord Evodia was an Eighth Tribulation Eminence before he became a disciple. He still remained an ordinary Eighth Tribulation Eminence despite becoming a disciple.
The transformation is complete.
Meng Chuan viewed his Essence Soul World.
In the depths of his Essence Soul World was a huge, floating black ring. It devoured everything but remained extremely stable. It had already become an important node in his Essence Soul World, causing it to become even vaster and stabler.
It’s very similar to the Spacetime Loop. Meng Chuan stood up in the mountain forest. With a thought, a ten-foot-wide black ring appeared behind him.
After the black ring appeared, it devoured all the surrounding powers.
The ring itself was formed by countless mystic runes. In the middle of the ring was a distorted vortex that devoured everything wantonly. This devouring power was much more terrifying than the Chaos Hole law. When Meng Chuan previously used the Myriad Tribulations Chaos Hole Array, he was sucked in without being able to put up any resistance.
The devouring power released by the black ring only affected the surrounding 1,000 feet. After all, he was on Dry Origin Mountain. Meng Chuan had to restrain himself.
Whoosh.
The surrounding 1,000 feet of rock remained intact, but all the vegetation was sucked into the black ring behind Meng Chuan.
Meng Chuan pondered for a moment before dispelling his talent with a thought.
The time on Dry Origin Mountain changed slightly, and the vegetation in the 1,000-foot radius returned to their original state just like before they were devoured.
My talent is very similar to that giant snake’s. It can devour everything in the outside world and unleash tremendous power internally. But in terms of strength, it’s inferior to the snake. I feel like it only has 30 to 40 percent of its strength. Perhaps it’s because it had cast it using its body, while I’m only casting it with my Essence Soul World.
With such similar talent, I’ll also call it ‘Spacetime Loop,’ thought Meng Chuan.
Although it was much weaker, Meng Chuan didn’t mind. If he wanted to, he could use multiple Essence Soul avatars to cast it at the same time.
Furthermore, using a talent attack foolishly was the stupidest. He was a Tribulation Eminence, so he naturally tried his best to comprehend the moves and fuse them into his combat system.
I have to study this talent—Spacetime Loop—well. I have to figure out how it can form a stronger devouring effect than a Chaos Hole. The internal Big Bang is also similar to the Heaven Splitting law. Meng Chuan wanted to use this to study the temporal law.
…
In a dark hall in his home universe.
Celestial Thearch Myriad Star sat cross-legged.
It’s been more than 80 years since I obtained the second volume of Bloodline. Celestial Thearch Myriad Star frowned as he pondered. After his sacrifice to obtain the second volume of the Eternal formulation, Bloodline, he had been studying it with all his might. He had even used a mystic realm to accelerate time by ten-fold.
This was because he realized that the situation was tense.
The faction—consisting of Hall Lord White Avian and Realm Ancestor—and many top factions were watching him.
Cultivating an Eternal formulation is indeed very difficult. Although Celestial Thearch Myriad Star had long expected this, he was still somewhat disappointed by his gains after studying the Eternal formulation for more than 800 years, given he had sped up time ten-fold.
Such cultivation progress was very normal.
Eternal existences were lofty existences. There were only a few in the endless universe and spacetime.
They didn’t need to hide such items at all. They even took the initiative to pass down many formulations. Even the opportunities to take in disciples were known publicly. For example, the Three Thousand Illusion Arrays had long spread throughout the endless spacetime. The six-stroke painting was also publicly placed there.
However, it was very difficult to master them!
If I had the lifespan of an Eighth Tribulation Eminence, I might be able to grasp the complete nine volumes, much less the first and second volume. However, I have much less time.
According to what he knew, Eighth Tribulation Eminences typically had lifespans of over ten million years. Existences like Dragon Ancestor—who had extremely strong willpower—had even longer lifespans.
It was much longer than him, a Seventh Tribulation Eminence who hadn’t even lived for 200,000 years.
Many Eighth Tribulation Eminences obtained the nine volumes of the Eternal formulation, Bloodline. However, there were very few who could completely learn it and impart it to the rest of the world… As a half-step Eighth Tribulation Eminence, Celestial Thearch Myriad Star naturally understood even less.
The difficulty in his cultivation made him feel like his attainment of the Eighth Tribulation realm was becoming more and more uncertain.
I need more resources. The earlier I obtain that Chaos overlord’s drop of Origins Blood, the better. The earlier I comp
rehend it, the greater my chances of reaching the Eighth Tribulation realm. Celestial Thearch Myriad Star’s eyes were dark.
Chapter 732 - Attack!
When night fell, Jiang State Capital remained bustling and beautiful.
A thousand years had passed since the war with the demons. As the city where the Meng family resided, Jiang State Capital was now the largest city in Archean Eon Realm.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Two figures flew above Jiang State Capital. They were the couple—Yang Cheng and Meng You.
“After so many years, we’ve finally gathered enough credits.” Meng You was excited and nervous. “As long as we exchange for a longevity extension treasure, we can awaken Yuan’er and extend his lifespan.”
“Yes.” Yang Cheng smiled and nodded.
He also doted on his son, but he felt that his son, Yang Yuan, had lived a perfect life. Although he had stopped at the Marquis Godfiend realm, his 300-year lifespan was considered not bad compared to many Godfiends.
However, his wife had always missed her son. Thus, Yang Cheng naturally did his best. After he transformed into an Imperial Lord-level special lifeform, he had been diligently accumulating credits. The couple worked hard, and Meng You often made her father, Meng Chuan, happy. The treasures her father gave her were all used to exchange for credits with the sect. Tonight, they finally accumulated 1,000,000 credits.
One million credits could be exchanged for longevity extension treasures. It could allow mortals to become Supremacies immediately, giving them 2,000 years of lifespan.
The couple spent most of their lives accumulating one million credits.
After being in Archean Mountain for so many years, the couple was the first to exchange their credits for longevity extension treasures. They needed to do the exchange with Meng Chuan.
