Archean Eon Art

More than a month later.

Emperor Roc arrived at Heaven Peak River System. Following the clearer karmic connection, he arrived at the Chaos Hole.

No matter how good he is at fleeing, that punk from Archean Eon Realm will not be able to escape me. Emperor Roc flew through the River of Spacetime for over a year before finally finding Meng Chuan, who had fled to the Ancient Magus River Zone. He was rather excited.

He actually ran into a Chaos Hole? Emperor Roc became even more cautious. He blocked all possible spying means and carefully flew into the Chaos Hole.

After becoming a Tribulation Eminence, although I can easily use karma to kill enemies, I still don’t have a deep understanding of karma. As Emperor Roc flew, he thought to himself, The most appropriate way to deal with Meng Chuan is to capture him alive and seal all his strength, preventing him from committing suicide. After that, I’ll return to Three Bay River System and find a Fourth Tribulation Eminence that’s good at karma. I’ll hire him to kill Meng Chuan’s other true body using the one that I have captive.

If one relied on karma to kill enemies, the attack would be much stronger with a medium. Such mediums could be the other party’s blood and hair.

Of course, the best medium was the other party’s complete true body! A true body’s connection with the other true body… had the strongest karmic connection. I’ll capture his true body alive. He’ll definitely die once I hire a Fourth Tribulation Eminence to do the deed.

Fourth Tribulation Eminences who are skilled in karma can typically kill a perfected Imperial Lord when they have the other party’s complete true body. It will naturally be easy to kill Meng Chuan. I’m ultimately much weaker than a Fourth Tribulation Eminence. I’m not good at karma either. Even with the other party’s true body, I can barely kill an early-stage Imperial Lord. I might not be able to kill all of Meng Chuan’s avatars.

He only had one chance to attack Meng Chuan. Since it concerned Ancestral Master Archean Eon’s treasures, Emperor Roc naturally wanted to choose the best and safest solution.

Emperor Roc hid in the void and silently flew towards the Chaos Hole accretion disc.

He’s gone that deep into the Chaos Hole? Emperor Roc frowned slightly. Through karma, he could clearly confirm that Meng Chuan had gone quite deep into the Chaos Hole.

Chaos Holes are so dangerous. How deep did he go? Emperor Roc was secretly puzzled.

As he flew further into the Chaos Hole, the time flow around him also changed.

In the Chaos Hole’s depths, at a region where the time flow was 35 times faster.

Meng Chuan sat cross-legged in the silent darkness, projecting his Chaos Hole domain outwards. Only by combining his Chaos Hole domain and Chaos Hole Quintessential Essence could the Chaos Hole domain’s strength reach its maximum. With Saber of Still Quiescene’s profundities as the foundation, Meng Chuan’s Quintessential Essence circulation through the Chaos Hole domain became even more exquisite. With just his domain, Meng Chuan was able to withstand the gravitational pull. Before this, his Chaos Hole domain could only withstand the gravitational pull at a region with ten-fold faster time flow. This showed just how astonishingly strong his Chaos Hole domain became after improving his perfected Grotto-Heaven realm paramount technique to the Heaven Earth realm.

Although Saber of Nirvana had flaws, its strength was comparable to an Imperial Lord-level paramount technique. Time passed as he cultivated.

It was extremely silent. It was as though he and the Chaos Hole’s core were the only things in the void.

The Chaos Hole’s core distorted spacetime freely as Meng Chuan resisted the spacetime distortions.

Oh? Meng Chuan frowned slightly.

Other than himself and the Chaos Hole’s core, another existence had appeared in his perception range. The existence secretly approached him. However, with Lightning Domain Seal-a Fifth Tribulation treasure—aiding him, Meng Chuan could sense the void extremely clearly, despite the treasure not being very useful when affected by the Chaos Hole’s gravitational pull.

An outsider is approaching me furtively. Meng Chuan’s heart palpitated.

In the outer realm…

It was very common for complete strangers to attack suddenly.

Who is it? Why is he secretly approaching me? Could it be that he’s better at reconnaissance and discovered me from afar? Meng Chuan became even more cautious as he prepared all sorts of treasures.

Even now, Meng Chuan didn’t realize that the person was Emperor Roc.

The weaker one was, the blurrier their karma perception. Ordinary Godfiends couldn’t sense karma at all. After reaching the Chaos Hole realm, Meng Chuan could sense karma. However, he couldn’t clearly identify the person approaching him through karma due to various reasons.

Meng Chuan could clearly sense the karmic connection between Emperor Roc and himself, but the karmic threads’ trajectory was blurry and hard to see. Typically, it would be the heavenly secrets that blocked him from prying into it.

For example, the stronger one was, the harder it was to spy on them.

Meng Chuan was a Chaos Hole realm expert. In essence, he was slightly inferior to an Imperial Lord. So it was naturally impossible for him to spy on a Tribulation Eminence.

On the other hand, a Tribulation Eminence could sense Imperial Lords and Supremacies extremely clearly through karma.

I can’t wait here foolishly. Meng Chuan stopped cultivating and pretended to be calm as he continued flying deeper into the Chaos Hole.

The closer one was to a Chaos Hole’s core, the more distorted spacetime became.

The time flow acceleration increased from 35-fold to 36-fold; it then increased to 37-fold and so… The time flow around Meng Chuan rapidly accelerated.

Oh? Why did he continue flying in? He’s a newly-advanced Imperial Lord. How can he withstand the Chaos Hole’s gravitational pull? Emperor Roc was already very shocked. He found it somewhat difficult to resist the gravitational pull. Furthermore, why did he suddenly fly in? Did he discover me?

Emperor Roc immediately accelerated.

The moment he acceleratedOh? Meng Chuan’s expression changed slightly. He didn’t want this person to get close to him, so he had accelerated as well.

He accelerated as well? He really has discovered me. A sharp glint flashed in Emperor Roc’s eyes. However, I can capture him from such a distance.

Meng Chuan had already flown to a region where time flowed 45 times faster. He suddenly sensed something and turned his head.

Boom!

A huge golden palm appeared.

The moment it appeared, it covered the surrounding void. Countless runes could be seen on the golden palm. The void froze as the golden palm descended.

At the other end of the golden palm, Meng Chuan used his Lightning Domain Seal to sense Emperor Roc. However, Emperor Roc’s aura was even more terrifying than an Imperial Lord’s. With Meng Chuan’s experience of dealing with many cultivators on Black Dragon Planet, he instantly determined: It’s Emperor Roc. Furthermore, it has already reached the Tribulation realm!

Meng Chuan shuddered.

Boom!

The void distorted as the golden palm grabbed at everything in the vast void.

Meng Chuan understood something after seeing the palm. Emperor Roc’s accomplishments in the void lineage are much higher than mine.

He wasn’t surprised.

Just like how having the phoenix bloodline made one talented at the fire lineage, having the Golden-Winged Roc bloodline meant that one would be talented at the void lineage.

Back when World Entrances hadn’t appeared in Archean Eon Realm and the Demon Realm, human Supremacies often went to the outer realm. Back then, the demons’ Emperor Roc was already rather famous! It wasn’t a secret that Emperor Roc had the Golden-Winged Roc bloodline.

It has the Golden-Winged Roc bloodline. Once it reaches the Tribulation realm, it will be comparable to a Third Tribulation Eminence.

In terms of profundities, my Saber of Nirvana might be comparable to a Third Tribulation Eminence. However, my body and Quintessential Essence are far inferior to a Tribulation Eminence’s. Meng Chuan knew this very well. I’m not its match.

In terms of technique realm, a perfected Imperial Lord was the same as a Physical Body Tribulation Eminence. Both were perfected Heaven Earth realm experts. However, the qualitative changes in one’s body and powers that occur after reaching the Tribulation realm magnified the strength difference between them.

In terms of technique realm, Meng Chuan was close to Emperor Roc with Saber of Nirvana. However, his opponent had a Tribulation realm body and Tribulation realm demonic power. Emperor Roc’s strength far exceeded his.

If he had used Saber of Nirvana to become an Imperial Lord, his body and Quintessential Essence would have greatly improved, giving him the confidence to fight Emperor Roc. However, he knew that Saber of Nirvana was flawed. It was impossible for Meng Chuan to use it as his foundation to break through to the Imperial Lord realm.

Swoosh.

Meng Chuan stepped on the Bloodblade Disc and increased his speed to the maximum. At the same time, he accelerated and flew faster.

The time flow acceleration sped up to 47-fold, 48-fold, 49-fold, 50-fold…

Meng Chuan flew into the Chaos Hole’s depths without any regard for anything else. The time flow acceleration naturally became more ludicrous as he flew into the Chaos Hole’s depths. What? The gigantic golden palm grabbed at Meng Chuan.

Although the sealed void made teleportation difficult, Meng Chuan still managed to fly out of the golden palm’s range with his speed.

Whoosh.

The golden palm extended forward and reached further into the Chaos Hole for Meng Chuan.

Meng Chuan continued flying in!

Finally, the golden palm didn’t extend any further.

In the outside world, Emperor Roc’s palm could envelop a much larger area, but it could only envelop a smaller area when affected by the spacetime distortions in the Chaos Hole’s depths. The closer he got to the Chaos Hole’s core, the smaller the area his attacks could cover. Naturally, he failed to capture Meng Chuan.

I can’t grab him anymore. Forget it. If I can’t capture him alive and have a Fourth Tribulation Eminence kill him through karma, I’ll do so myself. I’ll kill him.

A golden beam flew out and instantly pierced through the void, striking Meng Chuan.
