Chapter 584 How Did You Have the Time to Set up the Array?

Boom!

On Snake Fiend Star, Cave Lord Scenic Cloud and Meng Chuan’s battle became even more intense.

Although Meng Chuan’s Magic Awl shattered every time, the Essence Soul Star legacy allowed Meng Chuan to recover and condense another Magic Awl instantly. Therefore, Magic Awl after Magic Awl flew out and struck Cave Lord Scenic Cloud.

Meng Chuan’s true body held Demon Slayer as he cleaved at Cave Lord Scenic Cloud’s massive body.

“Damn it.”

Growl

Cave Lord Scenic Cloud’s eight heads howled as his body distorted. His eight long tails transformed into afterimages as they swept in all directions. His eight heads attempted to devour Meng Chuan.

Meng Chuan’s every strike contained a strange baneful aura as a Magic Awl followed up. This made it impossible for Cave Lord Scenic Cloud to use any special moves. All he could do was rely on his powerful body to counterattack. His moves were too simple, making it much easier for Meng Chuan to deal with them.

Meng Chuan attacked with ferocious close-range strikes. At the same time, the Thirteen Universe Beads frantically attacked his opponent. Boom! Boom! Boom!

The Thirteen Universe Beads struck Cave Lord Scenic Cloud’s eyes and necks. The ferocious black saber beams cleaved down repeatedly, causing Cave Lord Scenic Cloud’s skin to split open. Cave Lord Scenic Cloud’s eight heads frantically counterattacked in a bid to bite Meng Chuan and devour him. His eight tails struck out repeatedly, causing the void to shatter. However, his superficial attacks failed to touch Meng Chuan. This Essence Soul mystic technique and strange baneful aura… I can’t use any killer moves at all. Cave Lord Scenic Cloud was in great pain, but deep down, he was very calm. However, this is an extremely rare opportunity to temper my mind and will! At my realm, it’s getting harder to temper both aspects. As for Eastcalm City Lord’s attacks, they only deal me superficial wounds. I’ll recover from them instantly. Cave Lord Scenic Cloud didn’t panic at all.

His body-which was cultivated from three Fifth Tribulation laws-was too powerful. His skin and injuries healed instantly, so he didn’t consume much energy.

Even if I lie here and let him slash me for 10,000 years, he can’t do anything to me. What I need to do is resist the baneful aura and Essence Soul mystic technique while diverting more attention to the fight. If I can use a complete killer move, it means that my mind and will has improved greatly. Cave Lord Scenic Cloud was very patient. Although he appeared to be engaged in battle, he treated it as a form of cultivation.

Meng Chuan used all his strength.

Demon Slayer’s strange baneful aura and the Magic Awls attacked simultaneously. His opponent’s mental cultivation was clearly stronger than Palace Lord Snowjade’s. Although Cave Lord Scenic Cloud was greatly affected, it wasn’t to the point that his consciousness completely collapsed. He could still continue controlling his body and counterattack.

The profundity of his current moves are shallow. He can’t touch me at all. I can use all my strength to deal with him, but the injuries I inflict on him aren’t worth mentioning at all. When Meng Chuan saw the flesh and blood wounds that had been inflicted instantly heal, he could sense the difference between them.

Meng Chuan focused on the laws of paramount speed. He had only recently comprehended Nirvana Saber. Thus, it was difficult for him to fuse its profundities into his body and change his body, given that so little time had passed. Furthermore, Meng Chuan mainly cultivated the Void Catalog’s third volume. He hoped that he could quickly comprehend a Fifth Tribulation spatial lineage law so that he could master a Sixth Tribulation law in one fell swoop. In the future, his body would focus solely on the Sixth Tribulation law. He didn’t want to waste his time comprehending Nirvana Saber’s law, which could already fuse with his body.

However, Cave Lord Scenic Cloud cultivated his body with three Fifth Tribulation laws. His body was just too powerful.

It’s not bad that I managed to tie with Cave Lord Scenic Cloud. Meng Chuan had long expected this outcome. He had even been prepared to be defeated.

Arise! Meng Chuan’s Essence Soul World had long communicated with the array formation he set up on Snake Fiend Star. His vast Power of Essence Soul instantly split his mind into 10,000 thoughts as he controlled the massive array formation.

When it came to operating array formations, why was an Essence Soul Tribulation Eminence much stronger than a Physical Body Tribulation Eminence? The Essence Soul was one reason! The stronger one’s Essence Soul, the more complicated the arrays one could control.

Essence Soul Worlds were the second reason!. When an Essence Soul world fused with an array formation, one could perfectly control the array formation’s every ounce of strength. Every Essence Soul Tribulation Eminence was an array formation master.

This is— Although Cave Lord Scenic Cloud looked crazed, he was actually immersed in the tempering of his mind and will. The sudden development alarmed him.

Snake Fiend Star completely vanished, along with the distant void.

Only black and white gases remained.

Black fog filled the bottom, while white fog occupied the top. Cave Lord Scenic Cloud and Meng Chuan were in the middle of the black-and-white fog.

The black-and-white fog simultaneously wrapped around Cave Lord Scenic Cloud. They wrapped around his eight tails, eight necks, thick legs, and torso.

I need to leave. When Cave Lord Scenic Cloud saw the black-and-white fog, he felt an immense threat. He immediately activated the Void Transference Talisman he carried with him without any hesitation.

Buzz!

The Void Transference Talisman was activated.

What? After Cave Lord Scenic Cloud activated it, he was astonished to discover that the area he could sense through the Void Transference Talisman was still within the black-and-white fog! He couldn’t teleport out.

I can’t even leave with a Void Transference Talisman? Cave Lord Scenic Cloud was somewhat alarmed.

Some Sixth Tribulation Eminences could stop a Void Transference Talisman with their own means.

If one relied on a fixed array formation, a Fifth Tribulation Eminence could stop a Void Transference Talisman.

Meng Chuan had exchanged for a Seventh Tribulation array-Yin-Yang Grand World Array—from Ancestral Master Archean Eon’s vault. This array formation wasn’t far inferior to Thousand Mountain Star’s array formation. Thousand Mountain Star only had the number advantage! With the superimposition of might, the Yin-Yang Grand World Array’s level was extremely high. Just the materials needed to set up the array formation cost a total of 5,900 cubes.

The reason why he exchanged for it was partially to deal with Cave Lord Scenic Cloud. The other reason was that the array formation was most suitable for Meng Chuan. Meng Chuan could comprehend the array formation and cultivate it.

“Break!” Cave Lord Scenic Cloud lashed out with his eight tails. His eight heads swayed as layers of void fluctuations surged around him. He needed to dissipate the black-and-white

fog.

The black-and-white fog was originally formless, but it still clung to Cave Lord Scenic Cloud. Almost instantly, black-and-white chains appeared around his body, making it harder for him to escape.

“Stop struggling. Unless a Sixth Tribulation Eminence takes action, they won’t be able to break my array formation.” Meng Chuan stood there and looked at Cave Lord Scenic Cloud, who was completely restrained by the black-and-white chains.

Cave Lord Scenic Cloud’s eight heads looked at Meng Chuan in disbelief. “When did you set up the array formation? Snake Fiend Star has always been my Eight-Headed Star Swallowing Snakes’ territory. You killed two of my clansman’s Essence Soul avatars. I immediately rushed here after that happened. How did you set up the array formation in time?”

He had never thought of charging into Thousand Mountain Star. This was because Thousand Mountain Star—the base of a former Sixth Tribulation Eminence—had powerful array formations. Without being at the Sixth Tribulation realm, there was nothing he could do to the array formations.

As for Snake Fiend Star? This was the Eight-Headed Star Swallowing Snakes’ territory!

This type of fixed stacked array formation was famous for being complicated. It’s complicated composition was the only reason why it could break down into tens of thousands of low-level array formations. With many low-level array formations perfectly combined, this high-level array formation could unleash extremely terrifying might.

Setting up such an array formation took a long time. However, Cave Lord Scenic Cloud didn’t know that Meng Chuan could stop time.

Back when Meng Chuan explored the mysterious cave abode, he had only accelerated time when he fought Old Fiend Black Wind and Palace Lord Snowjade! He didn’t use the Time Stillness technique in front of them. He only used the Time Stillness technique when he killed some weaker Tribulation Eminences. However, those Tribulation Eminences didn’t know what move he had used.

Time acceleration was very common. Stopping time was very rare.

At the Fifth Tribulation realm, only one in 10,000 people could stop time. One could do it when they reached the extremes of the time lineage’s paramount speed laws.

As for paramount speed laws, they were the laws of a perfected world! It was impossible to have any additional profundities, or have even a sliver lacking. Any mistake-no matter how tiny-was forbidden. Therefore, it was extremely difficult to create an Imperial Lord-level paramount technique. There were far fewer of such existences than Sixth Tribulation Eminences!

Ordinary Fifth Tribulation Eminences would usually comprehend a Heaven Earth ultimate technique when they were Imperial Lords. They would then grope in the dark and accumulated insights until they comprehended a Fifth Tribulation law. They wouldn’t be able to comprehend paramount speed laws. Typically, only Sixth Tribulation Eminences or Seventh Tribulation Eminences would be able to grasp paramount speed laws due to their higher vantage point. “You don’t have to worry about when I set up the array formation. This body of yours is now dead.” Just as Meng Chuan finished speaking, the black and white gases condensed into a huge saber beam.

Array formations could trap enemies; they could naturally also kill enemies.

I’m dead. Cave Lord Scenic Cloud looked at the saber beam-it was much stronger than Meng Chuan’s normal saber beams. Its strength was close to that of a Sixth Tribulation Eminence.

Even though he knew he had failed, Cave Lord Scenic Cloud still didn’t understand how his opponent managed to set up the array formation in time.
