Archean Eon Art

Chapter 531 Inviting a Tribulation Eminence

In the Demon Realm, fog lingered on a steep mountain. A cave abode was located at the peak of the mountain.

Sigh. A man in a white feathered robe stood by a pool in the cave abode. He sighed as he watched the fish swimming in the pool.

“The opening of the demon sage passageway can be both a boon and bane for me,” muttered the white-robed man softly. “I’ve cultivated for 500 years and reached the Heaven Earth realm. My Essence Soul is my forte. I believe I can become an Imperial Lord within 1,000 years, but I’m now forced to head into Archean Eon Realm for a battle to the death. If we succeed, we will reap great benefits. If we fail, everything will be for naught.

“The probability of the other two Heaven Earth realm demon sages becoming Imperial Lords is slim, so they are willing to risk their lives… However, it really isn’t worth it for me.” The white-robed man wasn’t willing to participate in the battle. However, the battle between Archean Eon Realm and the Demon Realm had lasted for more than 900 years. Emperor Roc, Imperial Lord Starquix, and Lady Blackmoon spared no expense. He didn’t dare disobey Emperor Roc’s will.

Swoosh.

The white-robed man soared into the sky and rushed towards the strongest demon’s palace — Roc Imperial Palace.

He flew rather quickly. In about 30 seconds, he arrived at Roc Imperial Palace, where two figures were already waiting in front of it.

“Brother Bai Fu,” shouted the two demon sages with a smile.

“Brother Ying Feng, Brother Si Feng,” said the white-robed man humbly. It had been a long time since Demon Sage Ying Feng and Demon Sage Si Feng reached the Heaven Earth realm. They didn’t have confidence in raising their Essence Souls to the seventh level before they reached the end of their lifespans. Therefore, they were looking forward to participating in the battle so that they could share the benefits of victory.

“Brother Bai Fu stepped into the Heaven Earth realm before the demon sage passageway was born. From the looks of it, we demons are destined to obtain the human world’s treasures.” Demon Sage Si Feng had a tiger’s head, which was filled with wrinkles. He smiled and said, “Brother Bai Fu, you are best at array formations. With your help, our overall strength will increase greatly.” “If the three of us work together, we will definitely be able to sweep through the entire human world.” Demon Sage Ying Feng was also quite confident. He was the strongest among the three Heaven Earth realm demon sages. “When the time comes, everything else will depend on the two of you. I’m only good at array formations,” said the white-robed man humbly. He was only 500 years old-a rather young demon sage. After a while,

Boom!

The main entrance to Roc Imperial Palace opened. “Demon sages, His Majesty invites the three of you in,” said an attendant.

The three demon sages didn’t dare say anything else as they immediately headed over.

Roc Imperial Palace, main hall.

Emperor Roc, a Third Tribulation Eminence, sat at the highest seat in the middle. Below him, Imperial Lord Starquix and Lady Blackmoon sat at his sides. Their statuses were clearly much lower. The two of them didn’t think much of it either… After all, they were relying on Emperor Roc’s help to reach the Tribulation realm. With his help, they still had a sliver of hope of reaching the Tribulation realm. If Emperor Roc was selfish, the two of them probably wouldn’t have any hope. Therefore, they naturally fawned on him even more.

“Greetings, Your Majesty.” After the three demon sages entered the hall, they bowed respectfully.

Although they might have different thoughts on the matter, they didn’t dare to say anything regarding the war against the human world! Emperor Roc had free rein to kill them if they angered him whatsoever. In history, there was no shortage of instances where demons killed each other.

“It’s been hard on all of you to rush back from the outer realm.” Emperor Roc looked at the three demons below him. “A demon sage passageway has opened. We will be relying on the three of you in this war against the human world. If you succeed, Starquix and Blackmoon will not treat you poorly. The rewards you will receive will be more than 1,000 cubes of Outer Realm Essence Crystals at least.”

If they succeeded, they would obtain Ancestral Master Archean Eon’s treasures.

Just obtaining a small portion was enough… What were 1,000 Outer Realm Essence Crystals in comparison?

“A thousand Outer Realm Essence Crystals?” The three Heaven Earth realm demon sages felt their hearts burn. Even the white-robed man couldn’t help but be tempted.

“Before that, the three of you need to improve your strength greatly,” said Emperor Roc.

Attacking Meng Chuan was only part of the plan.

Attacking the human world through the demon sage passageway was also very important. These three Heaven Earth realm demon sages were the most important forces that Emperor Roc could deploy.

Based on history, only one Imperial Lord would rise out of several Heaven Earth realm demon sages! Even if they sacrificed these three Heaven Earth realm demon sages, it was nothing to the entire Demon Realm. Emperor Roc naturally had to do his best to make the three Heaven Earth realm demon sages stronger.

From spring to autumn.

“Half a year.”

Withered yellow leaves fell at Luo Tang Pass. The Supremacies gathered together to drink tea and chat.

“The demon sage passageway has already appeared for half a year. The demons haven’t taken action yet,” said Meng Tiange. “I don’t know how long this wait will last.”

“Since the passageway has appeared, the demons naturally have to prepare carefully now,” said Luo Tang with a smile as she drank some flower tea. “After all, victory or defeat in this battle will determine the war’s outcome. If the demons are defeated in the upcoming battle and the three Heaven Earth realm demon sages die in battle, they won’t have a second chance.”

To have a few more Heaven Earth realm demon sages rise up? That would probably take 1,000 years. By then, the demon sage passageway would have long collapsed. Jing Fei nodded. “The demons will do their best to prepare for this battle.”

“Meng Chuan has long become an Imperial Lord. Furthermore, we are the defenders,” said Bai Yaoyue confidently. “We will have the terrain advantage by setting up a large array formation in advance. We only have to deal with three Heaven Earth realm demon sages with the strength of an Imperial Lord? We will definitely win this battle.”

“Although we have a high chance of winning this battle,” said Xu Yingwu as he shook his head, “we can’t be careless at all. Imperial Lord Eastcalm said that the demons’ Emperor Roc has already become a Tribulation Eminence. It has more means at its disposal.”

The Supremacies present understood this, but all their hopes were placed on Meng Chuan.

With the disparate strength difference, the other Supremacies couldn’t participate in the battle. They would only burden Meng Chuan by forcefully interfering.

Heaven Peak River System.

On a desolate planet, there was a giant alien beast carrying a turtle shell. It lay there as its mountain-like head stared at a huge basin in front of it.

Boom!

In the basin—which was thousands of kilometers wide-two black-and-white beads clashed. They only stopped after several collisions.

“Brother Xuan Fang, how’s the divination?” asked Emperor Roc’s Essence Soul avatar beside the beast.

“From my divination, it’s not easy to kill that Meng Chuan,” said the beast in a low voice.

“Brother Xuan Fang, you are the strongest in all of Heavenly Peak River System when it comes to karma,” said Emperor Roc. “You even have a chance of killing a newly-advanced Tribulation Eminence. Why would it be difficult to kill Meng Chuan?”

The alien beast shook its head slightly. “My divination won’t be wrong.”

Emperor Roc frowned slightly. “Then, Brother Xuan Fang, will you be going?”

“It’s very difficult to kill him.” The beast stared at Emperor Roc with its huge eyes. “I have to raise the price.”

Emperor Roc blinked. “Apart from what we previously agreed upon, the treasures left behind by Meng Chuan after his death will all be yours,” said Emperor Roc.

The alien beast shook its head slightly, no longer bothering to say anything else. “How much more do you want?” Emperor Roc was secretly furious. This greedy old fellow.

Xuan Fang wasn’t content with 300 Outer Realm Essence Crystals. “Five hundred cubes,” said the beast in a low voice. “Not one less.”

Emperor Roc was even more vexed.

This Fourth Tribulation Eminence, Xuan Fang, was the most suitable helper. He was strong enough; he was also adept at the karmic lineage.

“Alright, but I can’t produce so many Outer Realm Essence Crystals. The difference can only be made up with Tribulation treasures,” said Emperor Roc.

The alien beast nodded slightly. “It’s fine. I’ll take action once I obtain treasures worth 500 Outer Realm Essence Crystals.”

“Let’s go to that Chaos Hole. My true body will hand over the treasures to you,” said Emperor Roc.

“Let’s go.” The gigantic alien beast’s body flashed, transforming into a barefoot old man carrying a turtle shell. With a chuckle, he flew out of the planet with Emperor Roc.
