Archean Eon Art

chapter-528
The demons had sacrificed too much for the Seventh Tribulation Eminence’s treasures. After realizing that it was difficult to capture him alive, Emperor Roc didn’t hesitate to use his strongest killing blow. He wanted to kill Meng Chuan’s true body and use karma to kill all his avatars. He wanted to kill the human, Meng Chuan, completely!
“Die!” Emperor Roc’s eyes were filled with anticipation. He looked forward to Meng Chuan’s death. He wanted to make their greatest obstacle in Archean Eon Realm vanish!
Huh? Meng Chuan—who was fleeing on his Bloodblade Disc—was able to sense his surroundings with his Lightning Domain Seal aiding him. He clearly discovered a golden spear piercing through the void and appearing in the void five kilometers away from him.
Thankfully, after comprehending Saber of Nirvana, his Chaos Hole domain’s profundity had improved greatly. Likewise, its strength increased greatly; otherwise, the spear would’ve already appeared in front of Meng Chuan.
The golden spear’s body was covered in silver runes.This was the strongest treasure Emperor Roc used when roaming the outer realm. It was a Sixth Tribulation treasure—Void Impalement Spear. It was especially compatible with the Golden-Winged Roc bloodline. Typically, only demon Imperial Lords with the Golden-Winged Roc bloodline were qualified to take this Sixth Tribulation treasure away from Demon Ancestral Cave.
Not good. Meng Chuan—who was fleeing at high speed on the Bloodblade Disc-was alarmed when he saw the golden spear appear outside his Chaos Hole domain. The surrounding Bloodblades quickly protected
him.
Rip!
The spear was five kilometers away from Meng Chuan, and he was fleeing at high speed. The golden spear instantly freed itself from the Lightning Domain Seal’s suppression. With the Cloud Dragon Snake Movement Technique, Meng Chuan could suppress ordinary Imperial Lords with the Lightning Domain Seal. It could even affect perfected Imperial Lords. However, the golden spear didn’t suffer any damage at all. It also broke through the Lightning Domain Seal’s suppression.
An Imperial Lord’s full-powered strike wouldn’t even be able to come close to Meng Chuan because of the repulsive force of his Chaos Hole domain—which had his Saber of Nirvana’s profundities fused within. However, the golden spear instantly penetrated his Chaos Hole domain.
Boom!The golden spear blasted through the 36 Bloodblades that were most well-known for their defensive capabilities.
Clang!
Meng Chuan’s Body-Protecting Peacock Robe was also instantly penetrated.
The golden spear stabbed into Meng Chuan’s chest. After the Body-Protecting Peacock Robe was torn apart, Meng Chuan’s pale-white clothes were revealed. This was a Fifth Tribulation treasure-Nightcloud Robe—which Meng Chuan had bought. It didn’t have any other uses. It was purely a defensive treasure. He wore the Nightcloud Robe all the time! However, such a defensive treasure was actually quite expensive.
Boom!
After being weakened by the Nightcloud Robe, the terrifying impact struck Meng Chuan.
Like a meteor, Meng Chuan rushed into the Chaos Hole’s depths at greater speeds.
Huh? Emperor Roc, who was chasing Meng Chuan, looked at this scene in shock. How is this possible?
With a wave of his hand, the Void Impalement Spear flew back into Emperor Roc’s palm.
I used my full strength. How did it not even blast apart his body? Emperor Roc found it unbelievable.
Even if Meng Chuan had a defensive Tribulation treasure, the remnant force would still affect his entire body. Even with 10-20% of its strength remaining, the spear attack was still enough to kill a perfected Imperial Lord. However, Meng Chuan’s body remained intact.
Did he have an Indestructible Talisman or other similar talismans? Emperor Roc guessed.
Once an Indestructible Talisman was used, one could withstand all external attacks.
Typically, one’s attack had to have the strength of a Fifth Tribulation Eminence to break an Indestructible Talisman. A Third Tribulation Eminence would probably take dozens of strikes to exhaust an Indestructible Talisman’s strength.
An Indestructible Talisman is worth 15 Outer Realm Essence Crystals. He actually bought one willingly? Humph, it’s useless. As long as I capture him alive, he’ll still die even if he has treasures protecting him. Emperor Roc gritted his teeth and rushed into the Chaos Hole’s depths, continuing his pursuit.
Single-use treasures ranged from extremely precious Void Transference Talismans to Life Substitute Talismans, which were much cheaper-all of them contained powers that could be used directly.
However, these talismans had one flaw—they couldn’t store too much energy because of the materials they were made of. Therefore, these talismans contained extremely profound and mysterious laws, but they didn’t have much strength.
What a powerful strike. Meng Chuan recovered from the blow.
It broke through my Lightning Domain, Chaos Hole domain, 36 Bloodblades, and Body-Protecting Peacock Robe in a row. Meng Chuan was secretly alarmed. The Nightcloud Robe blocked the Tribulation treasure’s remnant strength, but it still made me uncomfortable.
Meng Chuan’s body was very special. After cultivating the Chaos Hole Divine Body, he could fight a perfected Imperial Lord with his body alone. After absorbing a Primordial Stone, Meng Chuan’s body became like a Dharma treasure. It was extremely tough. This was why he survived this time. After being struck by Emperor Roc’s weakened full-strength strike, Meng Chuan’s body remained intact.
If I didn’t have the domains or treasures, my body probably wouldn’t have been able to withstand it.
A Third Tribulation Eminence was considered rather powerful among Tribulation Eminences. They could kill newly-advanced Tribulation Eminences with a flip of a hand. As for dealing with a perfected Imperial Lord? Just like an Imperial Lord could easily kill a newly-advanced Supremacy, a Third Tribulation Eminence could easily slaughter a perfected Imperial Lord.
It was only because Meng Chuan had comprehended Saber of Nirvana, raising his technique realm and strength greatly, that he could escape Emperor Roc’s palm strike. Otherwise, with his former strength that was comparable to a perfected Imperial Lord, Meng Chuan could only sacrifice his true body. The treasures on him would benefit Emperor Roc.
As for now? Meng Chuan—who had 20-30% of Emperor Roc’s strength-was especially good at staying alive. At the very least, he could stall for time if he maintained some distance between them.
Even if my body can’t withstand it, I still have a Life Substitute Talisman. Meng Chuan didn’t panic. As long as I hide far away and don’t let him capture me alive, he won’t be able to do anything to me.
Meng Chuan constantly flew deeper into the Chaos Hole.
The time flow acceleration went from 55-fold to 56-fold to 57-fold…
He’s still flying deeper? Emperor Roc, who was chasing from behind, gradually found it difficult to believe his eyes. How can a newly-advanced Imperial Lord withstand such a powerful Chaos Hole’s gravitational pull?
Emperor Roc stopped at a region where time flowed 58 times faster.
He had a powerful Tribulation realm body that was comparable to a Third Tribulation Eminence’s. However, he had already reached his limits, so he didn’t dare venture any further.
If he went any deeper, a slight moment of inattention would result in him being unable to resist the gravitational pull. If that happened, he wouldn’t be able to escape the Chaos Hole. This true body of his would die.
I’m already almost at my limits here.However, he’s still flying in? Emperor Roc floated in midair. The Chaos Hole was too terrifying. He had to leave some buffer for himself, so he didn’t dare go deeper.
Meng Chuan stopped when he reached a region where time flowed 60-fold faster. The region where time flows 62-fold faster is my limit. Meng Chuan knew this very well.
Both sides were equal in regards to technique realm, but Meng Chuan’s cultivation was extremely similar to a Chaos Hole. His Chaos Hole domain was also especially good at blocking the Chaos Hole’s gravitational force. Because of this, he could reach the region where time flowed 62-fold faster.
However, I’m still 15 million kilometers away from it. Even if I head into the region where time flows 62-fold faster, I’ll only be an extra 10 million kilometers away from it. I won’t be able to escape its prying eyes. Meng Chuan understood this. The deeper he went into the Chaos Hole, the faster time flowed.
Tens of millions of kilometers? At that distance, even Meng Chuan could sense people through the void, much less Emperor Roc, who was even more skilled in the void lineage.
However, it looks like it doesn’t dare go any further. The corners of Meng Chuan’s mouth curled into a smile. He sat cross-legged in the darkness.
I can’t reach that area. Emperor Roc sensed Meng Chuan from afar. He could clearly see Meng Chuan through the void, but he couldn’t approach him.
Even if he tried his best to approach Meng Chuan, he would only be able to travel another five million kilometers into the Chaos Hole’s depths. This was his limit. Any further and an accident could befall upon him.
He’s a newly-advanced Imperial Lord. He must have a rare treasure that’s good at resisting a Chaos Hole’s gravitational pull if he can go so deep into the Chaos Hole, guessed Emperor Roc.
Emperor Roc was vexed as well. He wanted to find a Tribulation Eminence that could enter the Chaos Hole’s depths and deal with Meng Chuan. However, he was a newly-advanced Tribulation Eminence. He didn’t have many connections in the Tribulation Eminences’ circle. He also wasn’t very familiar with Ancient Magus River Zone’s Heaven Peak River System. Either way, this true body of his has to monitor Meng Chuan all the time. There was no way he could get his avatar to hire an Eminence.
Furthermore, a Tribulation Eminence wouldn’t be willing to risk going into a Chaos Hole’s depths. After all, a Chaos Hole was ultimately a very dangerous celestial body.
I’ll think of a solution first. If there’s really nothing I can do, I’ll invite a Fourth Tribulation Eminence from Three Bay River System, thought Emperor Roc. However, the connection between the Demon Realm and Archean Eon Realm isn’t a secret in Three Bay River System. Once I invite a Fourth Tribulation Eminence… that Fourth Tribulation Eminence will definitely take the opportunity to fleece me. Emperor Roc frowned slightly. Unless necessary, he was unwilling to invite a Fourth Tribulation Eminence from Three Bay River System. His best choice was to use Outer Realm Essence Crystals to hire the help of an unfamiliar Fourth Tribulation from another river zone.
I’ll wait and see first. Staying in the Chaos Hole’s depths for a long time will affect his body and Essence Soul. After some time, he might not be able to withstand it. Emperor Roc knew the dangers of Chaos Holes.
Meng Chuan was very patient. If I can’t escape, I’d rather die than benefit Emperor Roc.Furthermore, I should be able to fight him as long as I make a major breakthrough. He had two choices. One, he let himself fall into the Chaos Hole’s depths, letting his treasures get sucked towards the Chaos Hole’s core. Two, head out and battle Emperor Roc once his strength increased greatly. As for the strength difference between them now? He could only bear with it for the time being.
Up to now, I’ve only fled and withstood that strike. It probably believes that I don’t have enough strength to fight it head-on. It is probably thinking that I’m relying on talismans and other items. That’s good. The less it knows about my strength, the greater my chances of succeeding.
Just like that, Meng Chuan patiently hid in the Chaos Hole’s depths. He immersed himself in his cultivation while Emperor Roc silently monitored him.
Affected by the Chaos Hole’s gravitational pull, Emperor Roc carefully checked his body. Withstanding the terrifying gravitational force was also testing his body. Emperor Roc carefully and slowly perfected his body.
Only a year had passed in the outside world. However, nearly 60 years had passed in the Chaos Hole’s depths where Meng Chuan and Emperor Roc were.
As for Emperor Roc’s third Physical Body Tribulation, it had descended.
