Chapter 683 - The Dust Settles
Chapter 683: The Dust Settles
Taidong River Zone.
“Good, very good.” The black stone giant looked down at the tiny Fiend Eye as his anger rose.
Due to Guild Master Fiend Eye’s interference, he had lost an Eighth Tribulation array formation treasure and a domain-type treasure that was worth at least one million cubes. This made Guild Master Darkstar’s heart ache, enraging him further.
“Fiend Eye, since you interfered, do you have the guts to take a punch from me?” Guild Master Darkstar’s voice resounded in every corner of the void. His huge eyes stared at Fiend Eye. “If you don’t dare to take it and flee with your tail between your legs, I won’t laugh at you. After all, everyone knows that you’ve been heavily injured for over 80,000 years.”
His words were filled with mockery.
If he couldn’t obtain the treasures, he wouldn’t let Fiend Eye have an easy time either. Fiend Eye either had to be embarrassed or receive a punch! Fiend Eye definitely had his reasons for being unwilling to reveal his strength for so many years.
Thus, Guild Master Darkstar wanted to take the opportunity to force Fiend Eye.
Fiend Eye’s expression sank when he heard that. He said coldly, “Receive your punch? I want to see how powerful a punch from you is.”
“Good, as expected of Fiend Eye!” Guild Master Darkstar grinned as he punched out.
His fist was like a massive celestial body. It tore through the void and instantly traversed billions of kilometers, arriving in front of Fiend Eye.
If the palm that previously pressed down on Meng Chuan had a wide range and completely enveloped the array formation, making it impossible for Meng Chuan to escape, then this punch was focused on maximum strength. This was because, at Guild Master Darkstar’s realm, Fiend Eye couldn’t stop him from leaving.
Fiend Eye stood in his spot. Dodging was beneath him. He had to take the punch head-on.
Boom!
Meng Chuan also saw the black stone fist that was tens of billions of kilometers wide. The might of the fist alarmed him. Be it the palm strike or the punch, he would be annihilated if it touched him.
This is the difference between me and a Seventh Tribulation Eminence. Meng Chuan understood this point. At the same time, he carefully observed Fiend Eye.
Fiend Eye raised one of his six arms and pointed a finger forward. He then tapped his fingertip!
Boom!
With a tap of his fingertip, a point of light appeared.
This point of light… seemed to be the origin of the entire universe. All the powers in the universe seemed to originate from it.
It collided with the black stone fist. Guild Master Darkstar’s fist was extremely powerful, and it could easily destroy a Dark Chaos Hole. But when it collided with the point of light, the huge fist suddenly exploded.
The terrifying impact traveled from the fist to Guild Master Darkstar’s body.
This… Meng Chuan felt that the point of light was too dazzling and hot. He couldn’t see it with his naked eye, nor could he sense it spatially. Only his Spacetime Domain could vaguely see the process.
With the fingertip’s tap, Guild Master Darkstar’s entire arm was obliterated as cracks appeared all over his body. However, countless leptons fused together almost instantly. The cracks on Guild Master Darkstar’s body disappeared, and his arm grew out again. He was whole and undamaged again.
This was how terrifying Guild Master Darkstar was! His body was unimaginably powerful. Unless he was completely annihilated in one strike, he could instantly recover with the help of the Matter law.
“As expected of Guild Master Fiend Eye. Back then, you were the strongest expert in the physical body cultivation system. You actually injured my body.” The towering Guild Master Darkstar’s voice boomed as he glanced at Meng Chuan. “Lucky junior. Let’s see who can protect you next time.”
Following that, Guild Master Darkstar turned around and took a step forward before disappearing.
Meng Chuan stood rooted to the ground.
Next time? Meng Chuan hoped that he could fight Guild Master Darkstar head-on next time.
…
Fiend Eye’s finger can destroy a portion of Guild Master Darkstar’s body? In an ancient palace, a towering figure sat on a throne. His gaze penetrated spacetime as he looked at Taidong River Zone.
His body was very wide. Even in his cave abode, he was 5,000 kilometers tall and 4,000 kilometers wide. But he didn’t look fat at all; he looked more like a mountain.
He was Ancestral Magus King! Under Hall Lord White Avian and Celestial Thearch Myriad Star, he was the strongest expert in the physical body cultivation system. He also had the Magus legacy left behind by an Eternal existence.
Has Fiend Eye’s strength recovered? Back then, he was known for the Annihilation Fiend Eye and Six Hand mystic technique… Now, he only used a single finger. Ancestral Magus King felt a faint pressure. His brows furrowed like hills. But after more than 80,000 years of hibernation, he only used a single finger today. His injuries must have yet to recover. Otherwise, no matter how much he holds it in, he wouldn’t have endured for over 80,000 years.
How long was a Seventh Tribulation Eminence’s lifespan? Typically, they only had 100,000 years to live. Nobody would hold things in for more than 80,000 years.
Even the lone Windthunder Walker and the reclusive Palace Lord Medicine would reveal their fangs.
…
Although Fiend Eye only seemed to tap his finger calmly, he was actually somewhat vexed.
I only used 50% of my strength, and my injuries are acting up again. Fiend Eye could sense the Darkness powers within his body corroding his body. The universe couldn’t isolate the Darkness powers, nor could an inhabited world.
His true body and avatars were tainted by the Darkness powers. Back then, he had nearly died. He had abandoned everything in the outside world and focused on suppressing his injuries in his homeworld. It took him nearly 30,000 years to suppress his injuries.
Up to this point in his cultivation, Fiend Eye had spent most of his energy on dealing with injuries. As he became more familiar with them and his realm gradually increased, he could use more of his strength head-on.
He tried using 50% of his strength this time, and it showed that his injuries were still a little unstable.
Back then, I was too confident. Fiend Eye sighed inwardly. He had only taken one wrong step.
“Thank you for your help, Guild Master,” said Meng Chuan gratefully as he walked forward.
Regardless of Guild Master Fiend Eye’s reputation, he had indeed helped Meng Chuan this time. Firstly, Meng Chuan didn’t want to expose the Spacetime Token’s escaping means.
Secondly, he wanted the outside world to think that Guild Master Fiend Eye had an extraordinary relationship with Meng Chuan. In the future, others would have to consider Guild Master Fiend Eye if they wanted to deal with Meng Chuan.
“Haha…” Fiend Eye chuckled. “What a coincidence. After I finished my seclusion, I sensed your meeting with Guild Master Darkstar. Out of curiosity, I took a look and learned of this matter. I took action only in passing.”
Coincidence? Taking action in passing?
Regardless of whether it was a coincidence or not, Meng Chuan naturally appreciated this favor since the other party was willing to help after discovering the situation.
“Furthermore, I’ve said it before.” Fiend Eye smiled at Meng Chuan. “I think very highly of you, so I’m naturally willing to form a good relationship with you. I have helped you today, and one day, you might be the one helping me.”
“Guild Master, you think too highly of me,” said Meng Chuan immediately.
“Don’t be humble.” Fiend Eye smiled and said, “Time is very magical. Who knows what will happen tens of thousands of years later? By the way, from today onwards, all the Seventh Tribulation Eminences in the River of Spacetime will pay attention to you. You have to be more careful in the future.”
“All Seventh Tribulation Eminences will pay attention to me?” Meng Chuan’s heart stirred.
“The entire universe is only this big. The resources are limited. As you become stronger, you will be forced into conflicts. You have to be careful,” said Fiend Eye. He turned around and took a step with his short legs before vanishing.
The stronger one is, the more they will be forced into conflicts? Meng Chuan thought for a moment and smiled. As an Essence Soul Tribulation Eminence, what is there to be afraid of?
He immediately took a step and left Taidong River Zone.
…
It’s safe. The Spacetime Token is Archean Eon Realm’s treasure now. Outside Jiang State Capital, Meng Chuan was fishing with his wife, Liu Qiyue. When his other Essence Soul avatar returned, he was completely relieved. The rare treasure—Spacetime Token—and the Eighth Tribulation array formation treasure had already been stored in Archean Eon Realm. This was a huge harvest.
When he was alive, he could study and use it. If his lifespan was up, he could leave it for his homeworld’s juniors.
“Ah Chuan, what’s wrong?” asked Liu Qiyue. “What happened?”
“My Essence Soul avatar has returned to Archean Eon Realm after coming out of the Nine Trials Pagoda,” said Meng Chuan with a smile. “When I came out of the Nine Trials Pagoda, I encountered a sneak attack. A Seventh Tribulation Eminence even ambushed me.”
