Swoosh! Swoosh!
The couple landed in Meng Manor and saw a white-haired, middle-aged man drinking alone under the moon.
“Dad.”
“Father-in-law.”
Meng You and Yang Cheng couldn’t hide the excitement in their eyes.
Meng Chuan—who was drinking alone—put down his cup, looked up at the two of them, and smiled. He naturally knew that his daughter and son-in-law’s contributions to Archean Mountain had just accumulated to one million credits. With him as the center, nothing within the 190 trillion-kilometer-wide domain could hide from him.
“The two of you have indeed worked hard over the years.” Meng Chuan nodded. “You’ve sacrificed a lot for the sect.”
“Dad,” said Meng You immediately. “What about the longevity extension treasure?”
“Are you sure you want to exchange this one million credits for a longevity extension treasure?” Meng Chuan looked at his daughter.
Meng You and Yang Cheng nodded.
In fact, ever since he became an Essence Soul Seventh Tribulation Eminence and was lucky enough to head to Dry Origin Mountain—which stood beyond the universe—Meng Chuan’s ability to obtain treasures far exceeded that of when he was at the Sixth Tribulation realm! Therefore, he had long decided that he would use more precious treasures to greatly improve his family’s bloodline in the future.
With this powerful bloodline, his family could easily become Imperial Lords over time.
To an Essence Soul Seventh Tribulation Eminence, one million Outer Realm Essence Crystals was enough to turn his family members into Imperial Lords. The greater his strength, the more he could help his family.
For example, he treated his grandson, Yang Yuan, colder back when he was only at the Sixth Tribulation realm.
Now that he was stronger, he naturally wasn’t that strict. Even if his daughter and son-in-law didn’t accumulate the credits, Meng Chuan would extend his grandson’s lifespan in the future. As for the couple’s diligent contributions to the sect, Meng Chuan was very satisfied.
If I reach the Eighth Tribulation realm, Meng Chuan’s thoughts drifted.
If he reached the Eighth Tribulation realm, Archean Eon Realm could become a high-level world. The entire Archean Eon Realm’s River of Spacetime could independently form an independent one in the universe. He could allow some lifeforms to transcend Samsara or undergo reincarnation in Archean Eon Realm.
For example, Dragon Ancestor and Phoenix Ancestor could easily make generations of their species reach the Imperial Lord realm, much less their loved ones. All of them had 100,000 years of lifespan.
One’s achievements could uplift the entire species, like Dragon Ancestor—he even contributed greatly to the entire universe.
Meng Chuan took out a jade bottle and handed it to his daughter, Meng You. “Just let Yang Yuan take it.”
“Thank you, Dad.” Meng You and Yang Cheng excitedly received the longevity extension treasure that they had worked hard for many years for. They quickly bade farewell and left excitedly.
As a father, am I too harsh on my daughter? Meng Chuan thought carefully and shook his head gently. They are already standing at the top of Archean Eon Realm. If I indulge them too much, it won’t be easy to control them.
If I reach the Eighth Tribulation realm, and Archean Eon Realm advances as a whole, the entire race will enjoy great benefits. Qiyue, Meng An, and Meng You will all benefit greatly. Meng Chuan looked at the lake beside the peach blossom tree. There were faint scenes in the lake. What’s most important for me now is to grasp the spacetime law. Ever since I obtained the snake’s talent, I’ve cultivated for more than 2,000 years. I haven’t completely grasped the three major branches of the temporal law. I’m still lacking…
The temporal law was divided into the past, present, and future laws.
These three laws were Sixth Tribulation laws. There were also other names, such as the Fate law, Years law, and so on.
Meng Chuan had grasped the paramount speed law a long time ago—it was a part of the present law.
When he comprehended the Heaven Splitting law—an Origins law—he also comprehended some of the profundities of the past, present, and future.
With his original accumulations and his increased talent in the time lineage—as well as his insights into the painting Dao mystic technique—Meng Chuan had comprehended the present law 100 years after slaying the snake! In the 1,000-plus years after he killed the snake, he had comprehended the past law.
Only his cultivation in the future law was slower.
After slaying the snake for more than 2,000 years, I’ve already grasped the past and the present. What’s left is the future law. I’ve accumulated quite a bit of insights. I should be able to break through in the near future. However, comprehending the three branches is only the foundation! Meng Chuan knew very well that several Seventh Tribulation Eminences had completely grasped the three branches.
Lord of Li Rainbow, Realm Ancestor, and Fiend Eye had grasped the three branches, but they were still far from grasping the spacetime law.
I’ve cultivated for 12,000 years. Hall Lord White Avian grasped the spacetime law in less than 30,000 years. I obtained an Eternal opportunity, and I am cultivating on Dry Origin Mountain. I should be faster than him; otherwise, how can I be an in-name disciple? Meng Chuan naturally had high expectations of himself. He felt that he had to grasp the spacetime law within 20,000 years.
Whoosh.
Meng Chuan looked at the lake.
With the rare treasure—Spacetime Token—refined by Dragon Ancestor, Meng Chuan could spy on countless areas in the River of Spacetime with his current talent and attainments in the spacetime lineage, just like Realm Ancestor.
However, there were fewer places he could spy on at the same time! Ten thousand areas was his limit. Furthermore, he had to use the Spacetime Token to help him.
All the inhabited worlds that have produced half-step Eighth Tribulation Eminences. Meng Chuan was also monitoring them. There were only 3,000-plus medium-sized inhabited worlds that had produced half-step Eighth Tribulation Eminences.
Hence, it wasn’t difficult for him to monitor all of them at the same time.
Monitoring… It was also a form of tempering his attainments in spacetime.
…
At that moment, a dark hall silently arrived at a river zone. Celestial Thearch Myriad Star was in the hall as a black-robed figure stood by the side.
“Go,” said Celestial Thearch Myriad Star indifferently.
“Yes, Celestial Thearch.” The black-robed figure silently left.
Forbidden creatures couldn’t be too far from their Life Cores. They had to stay in the same river zone in the outer realm.
Therefore, every time a forbidden creature took action, Celestial Thearch Myriad Star—who had its Life Core—would come to the same river zone! This was also why he hid his location.
Meng Sha Realm. Celestial Thearch Myriad Star’s eyes burned. After repeated selections, you are the one I chose among the many half-step Eighth Tribulation Eminence homeworlds! Ancestor Meng Sha cultivated his body to the Eighth Tribulation realm, but he failed to transcend the tribulation. He definitely obtained plenty of treasures.
For example, Myriad Star and White Avian hadn’t even created a physical formulation.
During Ancestor Meng Sha’s illustrious era, several Eighth Tribulation Eminences had descended to befriend him. His strength was unfathomable, but when he transcended the tribulation, it proved that his body still had flaws.
Only high-level worlds were better than the Meng Sha Realm.
A high-level world had all sorts of protective means. The independent River of Spacetime transcended Samsara and even formed a divine court internally. Eighth Tribulation Eminences would do their best to protect it.
They were far from something a half-step Eighth Tribulation Eminence like him could spy on!
This time, I hope I can obtain four billion Outer Realm
Essence Crystals from Meng Sha Realm. If it’s not enough, I’ll have to make another attack. Celestial Thearch Myriad Star watched silently.
Time to begin. Celestial Thearch Myriad Star silently took action and concealed the spacetime where Meng Sha Realm was.
After the concealment, the black-robed figure appeared in the spacetime and transformed into a behemoth.
…
Huh? Meng Chuan—who was in Archean Eon Realm—looked at the layers of spacetime shadows in the lake. He was monitoring all half-step Eighth Tribulation homeworlds, so he naturally instantly discovered that the spacetime at Meng Sha Realm had been concealed.
He couldn’t pry into it anymore.
Meng Sha Realm—he attacked? Meng Chuan’s eyes emitted a cold glint.
An Essence Soul avatar flew out from Meng Chuan’s body as he sat there. He instantly traversed spacetime and headed for the region where Meng Sha Realm was.
In front of the bamboo forest, Realm Ancestor—who was fishing—also noticed Meng Sha Realm. His white eyebrows pricked up as his eyes were filled with anger. Similarly, his Essence Soul avatar flew into the lake.
“Hall Lord, Meng Sha Realm has been concealed by spacetime. There’s no way to spy on it.” Azure Dragon—who had been in charge of surveillance all these years—immediately sent a message to Hall Lord White Avian.
When Hall Lord White Avian received the message, he didn’t hesitate to take a step across distant spacetime and head toward Meng Sha Realm.
Chapter 733 - Scrambling for Possession
Meng Sha Realm was once extremely close to becoming a high-level world. As long as Ancestor Meng Sha successfully transcended the tribulation, Meng Sha Realm could be raised to a higher level.
Although it was still a middle-level world, the cultivation system and vast number of treasures left behind by Ancestor Meng Sha still allowed Meng Sha Realm to produce many experts. In this era, Meng Sha Realm was relatively mediocre. There were 19 Tribulation Eminences, of which two were Fifth Tribulation Eminences! For a middle-level world to produce so many Tribulation Eminences, it was already very terrifying.
This was the heritage afforded to an almost Eighth Tribulation Eminence’s homeworld; it was much deeper than Hall Lord White Avian and Celestial Thearch Myriad Star’s homeworld. There was no need to mention Archean Eon Realm. Archean Eon Realm hadn’t even perfected its cultivation system.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
A group of cultivators flew toward Meng Sha Realm.
There were too many Supremacies in Meng Sha Realm, and it was very common for them to roam the world. In the surrounding river systems, Meng Sha Realm was the absolute overlord.
“What’s that?”
“No—”
The ten-plus figures flying outside Meng Sha Realm saw the massive creature.
This Seventh Tribulation forbidden creature was too massive. Just seeing it caused the ten-plus cultivators in Meng Sha Realm to feel their minds go blank. Their consciousness turned to emptiness. The Imperial Lord in the lead barely managed to stay lucid as he used his domain to carry his companions away.
But the moment the massive creature appeared, its gaping mouth enveloped the area. The Imperial Lord felt the entire outer realm plunge into darkness!
The surrounding void was completely devoured!
This void naturally included Meng Sha Realm. All living beings in Meng Sha Realm were instantly wiped out. While Celestial Thearch Myriad Star concealed spacetime, he also used karma to kill all living beings outside Meng Sha Realm and removed all traces. Perhaps the various factions in the River of Spacetime had guessed it, but Celestial Thearch Myriad Star was still unwilling to leave behind any concrete evidence.
The once prosperous Meng Sha Realm was removed from the River of Spacetime!
A middle-level world without any experts protecting it was a delicacy in front of a Seventh Tribulation forbidden creature.
If a sufficiently powerful Sixth Tribulation Eminence used an array formation, they could stall for time.
If a Seventh Tribulation Eminence were to guard it, the forbidden creature would’ve been discovered the moment it entered their Origins domain. Even if it attacked forcefully, it would be very difficult for a peak Seventh Tribulation forbidden creature to break through the World Array set up by a Seventh Tribulation Eminence. Furthermore, once a forbidden creature was discovered, it would become a public enemy!
It would immediately be attacked by the Eminences in the River of Spacetime.
Unfortunately… Meng Sha Realm was chosen because the strongest person in the present era was only at the Fifth Tribulation realm. He was unable to put up any resistance.
Everything operated according to a pattern: a rise, a decline, as well as birth and destruction.
If one wanted to be strong all the time, they couldn’t rely on external forces. They could only rely on themselves.
Meng Sha Realm was weak in this era, and its treasures attracted Celestial Thearch Myriad Star. Thus, a calamity descended.
The reason why a high-level world always remained in prosperity and power was that they had an Eighth Tribulation Eminence. An Eighth Tribulation Eminence might only have a lifespan of ten million years, but they could easily cross a billion years or even longer.
…
Spacetime in the region where Meng Sha Realm was located was isolated. Meng Chuan couldn’t reach Meng Sha Realm directly; he could only teleport to the area closest to the spacetime isolation barrier.
Boom!
Meng Chuan appeared closest to the spacetime barrier, and his Essence Soul World ruthlessly broke through the spacetime barrier! Celestial Thearch Myriad Star had isolated spacetime from afar to avoid suspicion, so he naturally couldn’t stop Meng Chuan. If Celestial Thearch Myriad Star’s true body arrived and personally set up the array formation, Meng Chuan wouldn’t be able to break through.
Boom! Boom!
Meng Chuan broke through the spacetime barrier and flew into the concealed spacetime. In another direction, Realm Ancestor also broke through the spacetime barrier.
The hidden spacetime region didn’t completely seal the spacetime fluctuations. One could still travel through spacetime from within; this was also to allow the Seventh Tribulation forbidden creature to teleport to Meng Sha Realm instantly. After devouring it, it could immediately escape.
But at this moment…
A forbidden creature! Meng Chuan and Realm Ancestor used their Origins domains to see the Seventh Tribulation forbidden creature at the same time. The moment the behemoth swallowed Meng Sha Realm, they felt the surrounding spacetime fluctuate.
Meng Chuan and Realm Ancestor arrived in front of it.
Not good. The behemoth was alarmed. As Celestial Thearch Myriad Star’s subordinate, it naturally knew about the Seventh Tribulation Eminences in this universe.
City Lord Eastcalm was one thing—he was nothing but a newly-advanced Essence Soul Seventh Tribulation Eminence that didn’t pose much of a threat to it. Celestial Thearch Myriad Star had arranged for it to devour worlds because it had the strength of a top Seventh Tribulation forbidden creature.
It was easier for it to deal with unexpected situations, and it devoured worlds faster. With its strength, it naturally wasn’t afraid of an Essence Soul Seventh Tribulation Eminence that had just broken through.
However, the other person was Realm Ancestor. He had occupied the title of strongest Essence Soul Seventh Tribulation Eminence for too long. Realm Ancestor had been a top Essence Soul Seventh Tribulation Eminence for a long time. Although he had never reached the half-step Eighth Tribulation realm, he was publicly recognized as powerful!
Hum.
It felt its consciousness sink into a lake, and the deep lake grabbed its consciousness.
It’s the Essence Soul mystic technique created by Realm Ancestor—Heart Lake’s Shadow. The forbidden creature struggled violently, but it barely managed to stay lucid. Its strength was greatly reduced. Following that, it l
ooked in Meng Chuan’s direction in horror.
…
Meng Chuan and Realm Ancestor were the first to attack; they were also the fastest to arrive.
The moment he arrived, Realm Ancestor used an Essence Soul mystic technique to affect the forbidden creature. Meng Chuan immediately used the move he was most confident in to capture the forbidden creature.
The two top Essence Soul Seventh Tribulation Eminences didn’t have time to discuss prior to the battle, but they naturally cooperated perfectly.
Whoosh!
Meng Chuan stood in the void. The 3,000 massive Dark Chaos Holes formed a huge snake ring behind him. If one looked at it from half a trillion kilometers away, it was indeed like an Ouroboros.
In the middle of the snake ring was endless darkness that devoured everything in the surrounding space.
Omni-Convergence of the Chaos Hole Heaven Splitting Array.
In the past few years, Meng Chuan had used his talent—the Spacetime Loop—the Chaos Hole, law, and the Heaven Splitting law to verify each other. After studying and cultivating, his understanding of the Spacetime Loop naturally deepened. This was especially so since he had long grasped the spatial law.
His understanding of the temporal law also deepened. He finally figured out the Spacetime Loop’s essence, and he fused it with the Chaos Hole law and the Heaven Splitting law, creating the Chaos Hole Heaven Splitting Array’s fifth transformation—Omni-Convergence!
This transformation could seal the surrounding spacetime and completely devour everything within it! In terms of strength, it was much stronger than when the snake used the Spacetime Loop.
With this move, the massive creature—which was already affected by the Essence Soul mystic technique—flew toward the center of the snake ring formed by the 3,000 Chaos Holes.
Isn’t he a newly-advanced Essence Soul Seventh Tribulation Eminence? Why can’t I escape? The behemoth’s strength had been greatly reduced due to the Essence Soul mystic technique. However, its body was powerful. Logically speaking, it was very difficult for it to be devoured, but the truth was right before its eyes… It couldn’t escape at all as it rapidly plummeted toward the snake ring.
