“How bold! A forbidden creature actually dares to devour an inhabited world.” A cold voice sounded.
An old farmer-like man had already arrived in this spacetime, and he extended his hand. Meng Chuan’s Chaos Hole Heaven Splitting Array had clearly sealed spacetime, but his hand still tore through the void and grabbed at the behemoth.
“Bold indeed.” Another voice sounded, and the gray-robed Hall Lord White Avian had also arrived. The moment he appeared, the surrounding spacetime was completely sealed—he could no longer teleport.
Celestial Thearch Myriad Star immediately rushed over when he realized that Meng Chuan and Realm Ancestor had arrived.
Hall Lord White Avian had only rushed over after receiving Deputy Hall Lord Azure Dragon’s message. In comparison, the two of them were slightly slower than Meng Chuan and Realm Ancestor.
Huh? Celestial Thearch Myriad Star’s expression changed. White Avian has sealed spacetime.
Hall Lord White Avian—who had completely grasped the spacetime law—had taken action. Under the spacetime seal, Celestial Thearch Myriad Star couldn’t travel through the void. Although he wasn’t far from the Seventh Tribulation forbidden creature in regards to distance, it would still take him quite some time to fly through the spacetime seal.
This time was enough for Meng Chuan and Realm Ancestor to capture the Seventh Tribulation forbidden creature.
Celestial Thearch Myriad Star didn’t care about the survival of this Seventh Tribulation forbidden creature. Even if it died, its Life Core could condense its true body in the future again.
What he cared about was… the treasures in the Seventh Tribulation forbidden creature’s stomach!
The Life Core of this Seventh Tribulation forbidden creature was far less important than the treasures. Now, he couldn’t teleport through the void and could only watch as the Seventh Tribulation forbidden creature fell into the depths of Meng Chuan’s snake ring array.
Chapter 734 - Ownership of the Treasures
The treasures! Celestial Thearch Myriad Star was anxious, but there was nothing he could do.
The situation was dire. Hall Lord White Avian had sealed spacetime, preventing him from stopping Meng Chuan and Realm Ancestor. He could only watch how things played out.
On the other hand, Meng Chuan’s strength far exceeded his expectations.
I carefully selected this Seventh Tribulation forbidden creature. Its strength is close to that of a top Seventh Tribulation Eminence. How can it be devoured by Meng Chuan to the point of being unable to resist? Celestial Thearch Myriad Star felt that destiny had played a cruel joke on him. Logically speaking, even a top Seventh Tribulation forbidden creature could fight someone like Realm Ancestor. However, he never expected that it would be unable to withstand Meng Chuan’s suction.
Meng Chuan reached the Seventh Tribulation realm not too long ago, but this move’s might is probably only inferior to White Avian’s and mine. Celestial Thearch Myriad Star had a keen eye. He instantly determined the might of the fifth transformation of Meng Chuan’s Chaos Hole Heaven Splitting Array.
In fact, no matter how shallow his accumulation of Origins laws was, Meng Chuan could reach the average standards of top Seventh Tribulation Eminences.
He also had the talent, Spacetime Loop, to which he completely dismantled and integrated it into his assortment of attacks while improving on it.
In terms of strength… Unknowingly, Meng Chuan was already stronger than Origin Realm Chieftain. He wasn’t inferior to Realm Ancestor, Ancestral Magus King, and Palace Lord Medicine.
Although Meng Chuan’s strength made Celestial Thearch Myriad Star feel like destiny had played a joke on him, the latter immediately made a decision. Through the Life Core he controlled, he secretly sent an order via voice transmission. “Scatter the treasures of Meng Sha Realm in all directions. Throw the most important portions to me. Furthermore, self-destruct your true body and crack Meng Chuan’s array formation.”
“Yes,” replied the consciousness in the Life Core.
Although it was Celestial Thearch Myriad Star’s first time seeing Meng Chuan use the devouring array formation, he had sharp eyes. He could determine that the devouring array formation had a limit. As long as a force exceeded the limit, the array formation might collapse.
Hall Lord White Avian kept an eye on Celestial Thearch Myriad Star. He even flew over at his greatest speed and tried his best to approach Celestial Thearch Myriad Star. I just need to keep an eye on him.
Although it took a long time to describe, Celestial Thearch Myriad Star had instantly made a decision and sent a voice transmission in reality.
Roar!
The forbidden creature suddenly opened its gaping mouth, and a large number of treasures shot out from its mouth in a fan-shaped manner. Only the Chaos Hole Heaven Splitting Array that was pulling at it didn’t receive any treasures.
The moment it spewed out the treasures with all its might, the forbidden creature stopped resisting. Instead, it followed Meng Chuan’s array formation and charged forward.
“Be careful.” Realm Ancestor’s expression changed.
Not good. Meng Chuan also realized that the forbidden creature had charged over. The terrifying power contained in its body instantly exploded; it didn’t bother about its body’s endurance.
The explosion definitely represented the forbidden creature’s strongest energy.
The self-destruction of this massive forbidden creature caused the Chaos Hole Heaven Splitting Array to instantly become bloated. Even its operations became difficult.
From afar, Celestial Thearch Myriad Star looked at Meng Chuan’s array formation in anticipation.
Rumble~
Behind Meng Chuan, the 3,00 Chaos Holes—which had formed an Ouroboros—trembled slightly, but they spun with great difficulty as they endured the impact. Although the array formation’s strength significantly weakened upon impact, the array formation returned to its peak in just a few seconds.
It continued to devour everything around it.
Many treasures that shot into the distance were drawn toward the array formation.
In fact, Hall Lord White Avian’s complete sealing of spacetime greatly reduced the range of Meng Chuan’s array formation’s absorption. The closer the treasures were to the array formation, the faster they were pulled toward it. The further away they were, the slower the suction speed.
The array formation wasn’t destroyed? Celestial Thearch Myriad Star had long taken the initiative to charge in the direction of the forbidden creature. He transformed into a blurry afterimage of starlight and flew much faster than the treasures.
As he flew over, he used his domain to grab the treasures.
“Myriad Star, the forbidden creature has already self-destructed. Why are you still charging over?” Hall Lord White Avian chased after Celestial Thearch Myriad Star and slowed him down. His domain collided with Celestial Thearch Myriad Star’s domain, interfering with him.
“Meng Sha Realm has been destroyed, leaving all these treasures ownerless. Finders keepers.” Celestial Thearch Myriad Star’s expression was cold. “White Avian, are you trying to stall me so that Meng Chuan and Realm Ancestor can take all the treasure?”
“Didn’t you say finders keepers?” Hall Lord White Avian sneered.
Although Celestial Thearch Myriad Star didn’t admit it, they knew in their hearts that the true culprit was Celestial Thearch Myriad Star. This time, Celestial Thearch Myriad Star had disappeared again when Meng Sha Realm was devoured! If he was honest, why did he have to hide his location?
Boom!
Hall Lord White Avian’s and Celestial Thearch Myriad Star’s domains clashed. From afar, Hall Lord White Avian only had one thought—hold him back!
Some treasures were nearby, but Hall Lord White Avian had also snatched them from Celestial Thearch Myriad Star!
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Although some of the treasures landed in his hands, Celestial Thearch Myria
d Star was heartbroken and furious.
This was because Hall Lord White Avian had also seized the nearby treasures. He would even take the initiative to attack from afar. He would blast away the treasures that were closer to Celestial Thearch Myriad Star, causing them to be even closer to Meng Chuan… They then naturally flew toward the Chaos Hole Heaven Splitting Array faster.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Meng Chuan was ultimately the closest to the forbidden creature. Although he was affected by the self-destruction, 95% of the treasures fell into the array formation like starlight.
A few treasures were also snatched by Celestial Thearch Myriad Star and Hall Lord White Avian.
The void finally calmed down.
Meng Chuan dispelled the array formation, and Realm Ancestor flew close to him.
Celestial Thearch Myriad Star also stopped in the distance.
Hall Lord White Avian stopped as well and looked at him with a faint smile. “Myriad Star, what a coincidence. You disappeared again after the forbidden creature devoured Meng Sha Realm.”
“I just don’t want others to keep tabs on my location,” said Celestial Thearch Myriad Star indifferently. “Why, can’t I?”
Celestial Thearch Myriad Star shot a glance at Meng Chuan. “Meng Chuan, you devoured more than 90% of Meng Sha Realm’s treasures. Don’t gorge yourself; don’t forget that Meng Sha Realm has just been devoured.”
“Are you threatening me with the intent of ordering a forbidden creature to deal with Archean Eon Realm?” Meng Chuan stared at him. “Unfortunately, you’ll have to get a Chaos overlord.”
Celestial Thearch Myriad Star was secretly vexed. “You should know that you have seized too many treasures this time. A scourge will befall those with plenty of treasures.”
“You are the scourge for ordering a forbidden creature to devour an inhabited world,” said Meng Chuan coldly.
He wasn’t afraid of Celestial Thearch Myriad Star.
Back when he learned that Celestial Thearch Myriad Star had secretly controlled forbidden creatures to devour more than 100 inhabited worlds, Meng Chuan was shocked. He immediately set up a heavy array formation for his homeworld, Archean Eon Realm.
With his current attainments in array formations, even Celestial Thearch Myriad Star couldn’t crack the array formation! Furthermore, Archean Eon Realm had the protection of the spacetime law. Tribulation Eminences were unable to break through it.
As an Essence Soul Seventh Tribulation Eminence, he had nothing to fear with his current strength. Notwithstanding his rapid growth, how could he be afraid of Celestial Thearch Myriad Star?
“Quite bold of you.” Celestial Thearch Myriad Star long knew that Meng Chuan might be a great threat not inferior to Hall Lord White Avian in the future. But by the time he noticed Meng Chuan, Meng Chuan was already a peak Sixth Tribulation Eminence. He couldn’t stop his growth any longer.
“Although the forbidden creature has self-destructed, its Life Core will easily condense a true body. It will be able to devour inhabited worlds again.” Celestial Thearch Myriad Star glanced at Hall Lord White Avian. “If you hadn’t stopped me, I could’ve captured the forbidden creature alive and controlled its true body. Its Life Core wouldn’t have been able to escape this river zone, and I would’ve been able to find it.”
“Don’t worry.” Hall Lord White Avian said, “My spacetime perception has completely enveloped the entire river zone. That Life Core can’t escape.”
“Take your time finding it then.” Celestial Thearch Myriad Star sneered.
“If the Life Core is in your hands and you leave with it, I naturally won’t be able to find it.” Hall Lord White Avian looked at him. “Do you dare swear that the Life Core isn’t in your hands?”
“Humph.”
Celestial Thearch Myriad Star sneered and couldn’t be bothered to say anything else. He took a step and left.
“He once again doesn’t dare to swear.” Hall Lord White Avian scoffed. He was certain that the Life Core was in Celestial Thearch Myriad Star’s hands. Only by controlling the Life Core could he control the forbidden creature. Otherwise, how could a forbidden creature be so obedient?
The surrounding spacetime seal was dispelled. Meng Chuan, Realm Ancestor, and Hall Lord White Avian gathered together.
“Despite publicly exposing him previously,” said Realm Ancestor, “he still disappeared when Meng Sha Realm was devoured. He concealed his location.”
“Everyone knows what’s happening. He just refuses to admit it,” said Hall Lord White Avian.
“What are we to do with Meng Sha Realm’s treasures?” asked Meng Chuan.
Sigh.
Realm Ancestor sighed. “What kind of expert was Ancestor Meng Sha? Yet, his homeworld, Meng Sha Realm, ended up in such a state. He once befriended an Eighth Tribulation Eminence, but no Eighth Tribulation Eminence protected his homeworld.”
“Back then, Eighth Tribulation Eminences befriended Ancestor Meng Sha because of the physical body formulation he created, giving him a chance to reach the Eighth Tribulation realm. However, he ultimately failed to transcend the tribulation… An Eighth Tribulation Eminence’s time is precious. They have befriended so many lifeforms, so it’s impossible for them to protect every lifeform’s homeworld, right?” said Hall Lord White Avian. “Outsiders can help for a while, but it’s impossible for them to help you all your life.”
“Now that I’m close to the end of my lifespan, I’m a little worried about my homeworld’s future.” Realm Ancestor looked at Meng Chuan. “Meng Chuan, I won’t touch the treasures in Meng Sha Realm. I’m old, so there’s no benefit in taking them.”
The treasures of Meng Sha Realm were a hot potato.
“Meng Chuan, take them if you think you can bear the consequences,” said Hall Lord White Avian. “If you’re afraid, give them to me.”
Chapter 735
Although Meng Sha Realm’s treasures were astonishing, they might not necessarily match the amount of treasures Hall Lord White Avian had accumulated. This was because Meng Sha Ancestor had to invest a large number of treasures into his cultivation. In order to cultivate an Eighth Tribulation body and transcend the tribulation, the price he paid was undoubtedly astonishing. Only the remaining treasures were left for his homeworld.
Hall Lord White Avian had plenty of treasures to begin with. It didn’t matter if he had an additional portion of the treasures from Meng Sha Realm.
“I’m not afraid,” said Meng Chuan with a smile. He was still young, and he was still cultivating on Dry Origin Mountain. He believed that the treasures he obtained in this life would far exceed the treasures in Meng Sha Realm. He naturally had the guts to accept them.
“Such guts are needed.” Hall Lord White Avian nodded in satisfaction. “By the way, from the battle just now, I can tell that your strength… isn’t inferior to Senior Realm Ancestor’s.”
“He’s probably stronger than me.” Realm Ancestor looked at Meng Chuan and was shocked. The rate of his growth was too terrifying.
Hall Lord White Avian looked at Meng Chuan expectantly. He could tell that Meng Chuan had cultivated for more than 12,000 years. After reaching the Seventh Tribulation realm, he should’ve gone to a place where time flows extremely quickly.
Even so, Meng Chuan became an existence second only to Hall Lord White Avian and Celestial Thearch Myriad Star in 12,000 years. This speed allowed Hall Lord White Avian to see hope of Meng Chuan reaching the Eighth Tribulation realm.
“I was lucky to obtain an opportunity,” said Meng Chuan.
“There’s no such thing as an opportunity without reason,” said Hall Lord White Avian. “Seniors leave behind opportunities, and they will select their targets. The requirements are extremely harsh.”
Realm Ancestor nodded as well before saying, “Celestial Thearch Myriad Star directly attacked Meng Sha Realm. Perhaps he will attack again soon. What should we do?”
“He attacked Deer Celestial Realm not long ago. After we exp
osed him, he should’ve kept a low profile in order to avoid suspicion.” Hall Lord White Avian was also somewhat puzzled. “Instead, he became even crazier and attacked Meng Sha Realm. Although Myriad Star is greedy, his modus operandi has been about guile in the past. This doesn’t match his personality.”
“Perhaps his personality has changed drastically,” said Realm Ancestor coldly.
They didn’t know that Black Fiend Progenitor was behind this.
Celestial Thearch Myriad Star knew very well that it was a temptation, but he was willing to bite the fruit of temptation.
“If he attacks again…” Meng Chuan was vexed.
Although he was much stronger, he was slightly inferior to Palace Lord Skylight in history. After all, the other party could defeat a top Seventh Tribulation Eminence with a single punch. Meng Chuan still needed to utilize several more moves.
He was slightly inferior to Palace Lord Skylight and much weaker than a half-step Eighth Tribulation Eminence.
In the present era, only Hall Lord White Avian could hold back Celestial Thearch Myriad Star. However, he could only hold him back a little; he couldn’t stop him.
I should become a half-step Eighth Tribulation Eminence as soon as possible. Furthermore, it won’t be long before my next window of killing a Seventh Tribulation Chaos creature.
He could only kill one imprisoned Chaos creature every 5,000 years on Dry Origin Mountain. He had cultivated on Dry Origin Mountain for more than 4,000 years; the next 5,000 years was almost up.
…
Meng Chuan, Realm Ancestor, and Hall Lord White Avian returned to their respective residences. Meng Chuan naturally returned to Archean Eon Realm with the treasures.
In Archean Eon Realm, Meng Chuan was the only one in front of Heaven and Earth Great Hall.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Treasures appeared out of thin air and flew to the huge square in front of Heaven and Earth Great Hall. These countless treasures quickly piled up into a mountain.
