Archean Eon Art

Chapter 590 Nearing (Final Chapter of Volume)

Thousand Mountain Star.

“Master, congratulations.” Meng Chuan raised his cup and smiled.

“After cultivating for more than 1,000 years, I’ve finally created a Heaven Earth realm ultimate technique.” Qin Wu held a cup of wine and looked at Meng Chuan. He sighed and said, “Meng Chuan, as your master, I have to thank you. It’s because of you that I can learn so many ultimate techniques from Star Cluster Building. You’re also the reason why the war ended. Your actions have also dispelled my obsession. It’s also because of your guidance that I can break through. Otherwise, it would’ve probably taken me hundreds of years.”

Meng Chuan shook his head. “Master, it’s because you sacrificed too much for our homeworld! Back then, you became a Supremacy early on. You were unable to roam the outer realm because of the war. You were delayed for nearly 1,000 years.” “We are all a part of our homeworld. Many have sacrificed a great deal,” said Qin Wu indifferently. “So many Godfiends have sacrificed their lives. I’ve only been unable to roam the outer realm for 1,000 years.”

“Yes.” Meng Chuan nodded. “That’s right. Too many Godfiends have sacrificed their lives. By the way, I recently sensed that the demon sage passageway is beginning to become unstable.” “Unstable?” Qin Wu was astonished.

“It will probably collapse in a few decades. Archean Eon Realm and the Demon Realm will gradually distance themselves from each other,” said Meng Chuan with a nod.

“They are going to distance themselves?” Qin Wu had mixed feelings. This was something humans had always hoped for the most. But in this day and age, the demon sage passageway no longer posed any threat to humans.

With Meng Chuan around, the demons didn’t dare invade. Instead, they were worried that they would be attacked by the humans! However, other than Meng Chuan, there were far fewer ordinary human Godfiends than the demons. It was difficult for them to invade.

After all, the Demon Realm was ten-fold larger than Archean Eon Realm when it came to world size. The demons’ cultivation system was also more complete, so there were naturally more demon monarchs.

“There’s no way for us humans to seek revenge for the thousand-year blood feud.” Qin Wu was still somewhat unwilling to give up. Over the past 1,000 years, especially during the 800 years before Meng Chuan rose to prominence, humanity had sacrificed too much. Be it Godfiends or ordinary mortals, they were slaughtered like livestock.

“There will eventually be a chance for revenge,” said Meng Chuan softly. He had only killed the three leaders. How could that repay the blood debt of countless humans that numbered in the billions? Furthermore, he had yet to kill Emperor Roc.

“There’s not much I can do now,” said Meng Chuan to his master. “I can only prevent the demons from entering the outer realm. I’ll kill every demon that appears.”

Meng Chuan was in charge of Three Bay River System.

One of Meng Chuan’s true bodies was in his homeworld, making him very close to the Demon Realm physically. If the Demon Realm’s world membrane were to be torn open, Meng Chuan would immediately sense the demons coming out and intercept them.

Just like back then… human Supremacies didn’t dare leave their world for fear of being intercepted. Back then, Meng Chuan had immediately exiled himself the moment he left the world! Emperor Roc and company had also pursued him, but they were a step slower.

“Master.” A voice sounded from afar.

Meng Chuan turned to look.

In the distance, a woman in red appeared in midair. It was Zhao Hongxiu. Zhao Hongxiu was hovering in midair outside the hill, not daring to barge in.

Meng Chuan nodded. “Hongxiu, come in.”

Zhao Hongxiu flew into the mountain and bowed respectfully.

Meng Chuan glanced at her. “What’s the matter?”

“I’ve comprehended something today during my cultivation.” Zhao Hongxiu looked at Meng Chuan. She couldn’t hide her excitement. “I’ve finally reached the Heaven Earth realm.”

Meng Chuan’s eyes lit up when he heard that. “Heaven Earth realm?”

Due to his karma with Senior Pang Ming, he had accepted Gao Fang and Zhao Hongxiu as his disciples. The younger Zhao Hongxiu had reached the Heaven Earth realm in terms of technique. She also had a sixth-level Essence Soul. Furthermore, she still had much of her lifespan remaining… She had a chance of attaining a seventh-level Essence Soul before her death and becoming an Imperial Lord.

“Heaven Earth realm?” Qin Wu laughed when he heard that. Zhao Hongxiu had also broken through not long after he broke through. “What a coincidence,” said Qin Wu with a smile.

“It is.” Meng Chuan nodded. He was in a good mood. His master and disciple had reached the Heaven Earth realm one after another.

Meng Chuan’s cultivation had been rather smooth.

The three Fifth Tribulation laws—Infinite Saber, Nirvana Saber, and Cloud Dragon Snake Movement Technique-were very suitable for combining. Meng Chuan had figured out many ways to combine them, and his strength had increased by leaps and bounds.

I can sense that I’m getting closer and closer to fusing them into a Sixth Tribulation law. Meng Chuan stood on the tallest mountain building on Thousand Mountain Star and looked down at the vast and bustling city. He felt a sense of urgency. It’s fine if my spiritual cultivation isn’t high enough when I comprehend a Sixth Tribulation law. However, if my mental cultivation can keep up, it won’t take long for the sixth tribulation to descend.

This was the con of becoming an Essence Soul Tribulation Eminence. They couldn’t stall for time. Under normal circumstances, if one comprehended a Sixth Tribulation law and had a sufficiently high mental cultivation, it would take a century to a few centuries before the sixth Heavenly Tribulation descended.

The short 100 years was a chance of survival given by the River of Spacetime’s laws. It allowed Tribulation Eminences to have enough time to refine a Sixth Tribulation treasure to prepare for their tribulation.

As for Physical Body Tribulation Eminences, they could continue delaying their tribulation for more than 10,000 years as long as their body didn’t reach a specific level.

Can I transcend the sixth Heavenly Tribulation? Meng Chuan wasn’t confident.

There were many criteria for one’s body to transcend a tribulation-strength, speed, vitality, toughness, and so on. Therefore, historically, those who had comprehended an Imperial Lord-level paramount technique had the confidence to create a sufficiently perfected Sixth Tribulation physical body formulation. However, when it came to an Essence Soul transcending a tribulation? Nobody was confident

If my mental cultivation is high enough, I’ll need to gather longevity extension treasures for Qiyue and my parents once I grasp a Sixth Tribulation law.

If he failed his tribulation, that would mean death. If he died, many things had to be arranged in advance.

At this moment…

On the contrary, Meng Chuan had some hope. His mental cultivation was lacking, so he could still cultivate his body first and reach the Sixth Tribulation realm with his body. Furthermore, he could improve his technique. If he grasped more laws, it would be easier for him to transcend the tribulation since his Essence Soul World would be powerful enough. However, no one could control the improvement of their mental cultivation. Sometimes, one would be stuck without making a breakthrough for a long time. Sometimes, one’s mind would suddenly transform.

Oh? Meng Chuan suddenly sensed something. Cang Alliance Space? Fu Sui invited me over?

With a thought, an embodiment immediately took form in the Cang Alliance Space using the Essence Soul mark he left there.

In the Cang Alliance Space.

Meng Chuan appeared and saw two figures sitting in the distance. One was Old Fiend Black Wind, who had explored a cave abode with him. The other was Fu Sui.

“Brother Eastcalm,” greeted Black Wind with a smile.

Meng Chuan walked over.

“Have a seat.” Fu Sui—who was as fat as a ball

-sat there and pointed to the side. “Tiger King will be here in a while.”

“Tiger King? The tiger king from Heavenly Dream Realm?” asked Meng Chuan as he sat down.

The Cang Alliance’s members were scattered across the River of Spacetime. There were a total of 801 members. Six new members, including Meng Chuan himself, had joined the alliance when he first joined.

In the Cang Alliance, there was only one person known as Tiger King. “Yes, Tiger King will likely not snub us.” Fu Sui turned his head.

Meng Chuan also sensed a figure condense in the distance.

It was a very thin figure. In terms of height, he was slightly taller than the short, fat Fu Sui, but he was much shorter than Meng Chuan and Old Fiend Black Wind. Furthermore, he was relatively thin. Among the four of them, he was the thinnest. The thin figure was dressed in a gray robe. The corners of his eyes were filled with bloodlust.

In the outer realm… one couldn’t judge a cultivator by their looks. This thin figure’s true strength was very terrifying because Heavenly Dream Realm’s special heritage was even stronger than Cave Lord Scenic Cloud’s. “Greetings, Brother Meng Hu,” said Meng Chuan and Black Wind politely because it was their first time meeting Tiger King.

“You can just address me as Tiger King.” The thin Meng Hu was very gallant. He sat on a chair that looked oversized for him. He sat cross-legged on the chair as he looked at Fu Sui and asked, “Lunatic Fu, why did you suddenly invite me over? You even said that you invited Old Fiend Black Wind and City Lord Eastcalm to discuss something important? Is there some ruin you want to explore?”

Fu Sui liked taking risks the most. He was famous in the Cang Alliance because of this, but he had never gained much from his ruin explorations. He had some small gains, but he had always been relatively poor because he had died too many times.

“Yes, a ruin.” Fu Sui’s eyes lit up as he swept his gaze across Tiger King, Meng Chuan, and Black Wind.

“I have the least interest in your little adventure.” Meng Hu curled his lips. “It would be a huge loss if I accidentally lose a true body.”

“If you take the risk and feel that you have suffered a loss, I’ll compensate you,” said Fu Sui.

Meng Chuan and Meng Hu were shocked when they heard that.

Compensation? Every true body that died meant a loss of thousands of cubes. Yet, Fu Sui dared to boldly declare that he would compensate them for their losses?

“I’ve already entered three times and died three times,” said Fu Sui solemnly. “Brother Black Wind has gone in with me once. He died once too.”

Meng Chuan became even more intrigued when he heard that. He entered three times in a row? Despite dying three times, he still wants to enter? He even promised to make up for any feeling of loss. He has clearly benefited from this ruin greatly. “I’ll also be entering this time,” said Black Wind as he looked at Meng Chuan and Tiger King. “You have piqued my interest.” Meng Hu narrowed his eyes.

As long as one wasn’t a fool, they could tell from Fu Sui and Black Wind’s actions that this ruin had great benefits in store.

“Brother Eastcalm, my promise to you is the same,” said Fu Sui. “If you enter and feel that it’s a loss, I’ll make it up to you. Of course, don’t bring more than 5,000 cubes of treasures with you. I can’t afford to pay any more than that.”

Meng Chuan looked at him. “You will compensate us? Is there such a good thing?”

“Of course. However, you have to promise me that the items left behind by Black Wind and me after our deaths will still belong to us,” said Fu Sui.

“Don’t worry.”

Meng Chuan and Meng Hu nodded. The two of them wouldn’t bother snatching the treasures that they would leave behind.

Meng Chuan was about to grasp a Sixth Tribulation law. He had an intrinsic sense of pride in him.

Fu Sui and Black Wind exchanged looks and nodded slightly. The treasures left behind after their deaths belonged to them. This was a very important clause. This was because… Old Fiend Black Wind had obtained quite a lot previously. He had lost it all in the ruins. Fu Sui had probed the ruins thrice, and the treasures he had collected were also there. Furthermore, they were confident that the duo wouldn’t feel like they had made a bad decision in joining the ruin exploration as long as the duo entered.

“This matter can’t be spread to anyone else. Only the four of us can know about it,” continued Fu Sui. “After you enter, we are not to harm each other. As for the gains, it will depend on our own abilities. Can the two of you agree to these conditions?” Meng Hu and Meng Chuan glanced at each other and nodded slightly.

Both parties felt that they could participate in this matter.

“Alright,” said Meng Hu.

“Yes.” Meng Chuan nodded as well. He was somewhat looking forward to this mysterious ruin.
