“You are only a newly-advanced Seventh Tribulation Eminence.” Lord of Li Rainbow coldly stared at the distant Meng Chuan. He couldn’t be bothered to look at the huge palm that was attacking him.

With Lord of Li Rainbow in the middle, two huge illusory millstones—one black and one white—appeared in this spacetime. The black-and-white millstones slowly spun in opposite directions. The moment the two huge millstones appeared, they crushed the dark palm that Meng Chuan had produced. Furthermore, they attempted to crush Meng Chuan’s Essence Soul avatar.

Meng Chuan looked at Lord of Li Rainbow and cast an Essence Soul mystic technique.

Buzz—

A huge pair of dark eyes appeared in Lord of Li Rainbow’s mind. This pair of dark eyes were like bottomless abysses that dragged at his consciousness.

Lord of Li Rainbow had to divert nearly half of his attention to resist.

How can the Pupil of Darkness be so powerful? Lord of Li Rainbow was somewhat shocked.

Lord of Li Rainbow—who had cultivated for a long time—naturally placed great importance on his willpower cultivation. He could walk 46,000 kilometers on Fiend Mountain—this was considered a very high standard among Physical Body Seventh Tribulation Eminences! For example, Guild Master Fiend Eye and the others were still walking the path of Fiend Mountain… They had yet to reach the peak.

After reaching 46,000 kilometers, his willpower was extremely strong. Furthermore, he had a Seventh Tribulation Eminence’s body to block any attack. Logically speaking, an Essence Soul Seventh Tribulation Eminence’s Essence Soul mystic technique should be like a breeze to him. However, Meng Chuan’s mystic technique required him to divert nearly half of his attention. This made his heart tighten.

He didn’t know that Meng Chuan’s willpower had also transformed after he created his Essence Soul formulation. After comprehending a few of the 3,000 illusory arrays, Meng Chuan’s Essence Soul World structure became even more exquisite; it had also elevated his willpower.

Although he hadn’t continued treading the path of Fiend Mountain, he had clearly improved significantly.

His Essence Soul mystic technique is second only to Realm Ancestor’s. It’s on par with the one from Origin Realm. Lord of Li Rainbow came to a conclusion as the huge black-and-white millstones crushed the spacetime.

Whoosh!

The Pupil of Darkness failed to sink Lord of Li Rainbow’s consciousness into oblivion. However, a vast array formation soon enveloped the vast spacetime.

192 Dark Chaos Holes slowly moved, and these Chaos Holes condensed their powers into one. As soon as they descended, Lord of Li Rainbow felt his body sink. If he had just reached the Seventh Tribulation realm, he would probably only have 20 to 30 percent of his strength left.

His Myriad Tribulations Chaos Hole Array has reached such a high realm? Lord of Li Rainbow frowned slightly, somewhat shocked by Meng Chuan’s strength.

He naturally knew about the Myriad Tribulations Chaos Hole Array. Logically speaking, it was already very impressive for a newly-advanced Seventh Tribulation Eminence to condense 100 Chaos Holes. However, the number of Dark Chaos Holes Meng Chuan cast was somewhat astonishing.

Little did he know that Meng Chuan had studied the manual of 3,000 illusory arrays over the years and had already cracked 136 of them. Meng Chuan’s understanding of array formations had reached an astonishing level. He had grasped the Chaos Hole law, so he had a high understanding of the Heaven Splitting law—which was completely different from the Chaos Hole law. This—combined with his gains from cracking the 3,000 illusory arrays—allowed him to cultivate the Myriad Tribulations Chaos Hole Array to such a level.

Boom!

The black-and-white millstones crushed the void as the Myriad Tribulation Chaos Hole Array resisted with all its might.

Meng Chuan looked up at the huge millstones. What a powerful domain-type move. If my array formation hadn’t improved by leaps and bounds, I’m afraid it would’ve been crushed.

Lord of Li Rainbow was different from the Seventh Tribulation forbidden creature, Bark.

Bark’s strikes were thanks to its talent.

On the other hand, Lord of Li Rainbow had an extremely profound understanding of time and space. After fusing them with his Origins law, his domain became terrifyingly powerful. Meng Chuan’s Myriad Tribulations Chaos Hole Array was at a disadvantage, but he could still withstand it without collapsing.

I originally wanted to crush him with my domain, but it looks like I’ll have to engage in close combat, Lord of Li Rainbow thought to himself.

As a Physical Body Seventh Tribulation Eminence, he was always strongest at close combat.

Annihilate. Lord of Li Rainbow pointed his fair finger at Meng Chuan.

Whoosh.

Spacetime warped as the distance between them rapidly decreased! Furthermore, the flow of time changed.

Meng Chuan could clearly see the finger in front of him, but he didn’t have time to dodge. It’s too fast.

A finger tapped Meng Chuan’s glabella.

Whoosh!

The moment before Lord of Li Rainbow tapped Meng Chuan, Meng Chuan’s Essence Soul avatar dissipated like a bubble.

At the same time, five Essence Soul avatars appeared in the vast surrounding area. The Essence Soul avatar in Thousand Mountain Star had clearly split into five new Essence Soul avatars immediately.

Thousand Mountain Star was a cave abode in the outer realm’s void. As a Seventh Tribulation Eminence, Men gChuan had long bought a fixed Eighth Tribulation-level array formation through Eternal Tower. A fixed array formation was worth less than an Eighth Tribulation array formation that he could carry with him.

Fixed array formations required time to set up and couldn’t be moved, but they were typically stronger because they could be made more complicated during the setup process.

Perhaps only the two half-step Eighth Tribulation Eminences had a chance of breaking into a Seventh Tribulation Eminence’s cave abode.

As a top Seventh Tribulation Eminence, Palace Lady Blood Phoenix had set up 13 Eighth Tribulation-level array formations in her outer realm lair. Even a half-step Eighth Tribulation Eminence couldn’t crack them.

Meng Chuan wasn’t that strong, but his Thousand Mountain Star could withstand any Eminence below the half-step Eighth Tribulation realm.

“Splitting your Essence Soul avatars? Then, I’ll seal this spacetime so that you won’t be able to get reinforcements,” said Lord of Li Rainbow coldly. At the same time, a massive illusory array formation appeared, isolating the surrounding spacetime from the outside world for five billion kilometers.

Thousand Mountain Star was also within the five-billion-kilometer range.

Oh? I can’t see anything.

Black Fiend Hall Master has sealed that area of spacetime.

Black Fiend Hall Master is getting impatient.

Seventh Tribulation Eminences and half-step Seventh Tribulation Eminences discovered that it was difficult for them to pry any further with their secret treasures.

In terms of attainments in spacetime, Black Fiend Hall Master was only one step away from reaching the half-step Eighth Tribulation realm. With the Eighth Tribulation array formation sealing off that area spacetime, it was indeed difficult to pry into it.

I can’t see it. Fiend Eye frowned slightly. If Lord of Li Rainbow is bent on sealing off spacetime, I won’t be able to crack it either.

In this era, only Celestial Thearch Myriad Star and Hall Lord White Avian could crack it.

Interesting. Hall Lord White Avian watched leisurely.

Lord of Li Rainbow has endured in silence for so many years. It’s rare for him to reveal his strength, but he encountered a tough opponent. The old farmer—who had eaten a fruit—casually threw away the fruit core. Lord of Li Rainbow is much stronger than he was back then. He should be one step away from breaking through with the temporal law. However, this step is also the most difficult one. He probably doesn’t have any hope of doing so in this lifetime.

Celestial Thearch Myriad Star had seen Lord of Li Rainbow’s future. He had seen many futures, but none of them had Lord of Li Rainbow reaching the half-step Eighth Tribulation realm. Celestial Thearch Myriad Star also knew that the future had yet to happen and that all variables existed.

However, he didn’t see the future of Lord of Li Rainbow reaching the half-step Eighth Tribulation realm. This meant that Lord of Li Rainbow’s chances of breaking through were extremely low. After all, he hadn’t broken through after cultivating for more than 100,000 years. If he wanted to break through before his death? It was obvious that the probability was very low.

However, he’s quite strong in close combat. With the augmentation of spacetime, Meng Chuan can only suffer a beating. Celestial Thearch Myriad Star watched. Meng Chuan won’t be able to hit him even if he tries.

Oh? Celestial Thearch Myriad Star suddenly watched in shock. This Meng Chuan only used a simple killer move last time. Now, he has fused the killer move with the Myriad Tribulations Chaos Hole Array? His attainments in array formations are really high.

…

Spacetime within five billion kilometers of Thousand Mountain Star had been sealed. The Seventh Tribulation Eminences and half-step Seventh Tribulation Eminences couldn’t see anything, and this only served to make them more curious.

However, the seal only lasted for about 30 seconds.

Boom!

An extremely terrifying and violent force erupted, completely tearing apart the seal. It caused spacetime within a five-billion-kilometer radius to be completely pulverized. Only Thousand Mountain Star—protected by the array formation—remained intact.

Even spacetime within five billion kilometers was reduced to leptons! Lord of Li Rainbow naturally couldn’t dodge.

Humph.

Blood-colored cracks appeared on Lord of Li Rainbow’s fair skin. His face was filled with cracks, making him look like a cracked porcelain doll—he looked ferocious and ugly. The blood-colored cracks quickly healed and vanished.

In just an instant, Lord of Li Rainbow returned to his handsome appearance.

“I’ve really underestimated you.” Lord of Li Rainbow glanced at Meng Chuan before disappearing with a step. He had already traversed spacetime and returned to the distant Black Fiend Hall headquarters.

Two of Meng Chuan’s Essence Souls stood there as the other three dissipated.

At that moment, Meng Chuan’s expression was solemn.

The difference is indeed huge. Apart from the last move, none of my other moves could touch him. Meng Chuan also became aware of his flaws.
