Archean Eon Art Chapter 582

Chapter 582 Meng Chuan vs Cave Lord Scenic Cloud!

Meng Chuan turned even more solemn after destroying the two Essence Soul avatars.

Destroying them meant that they had fallen out with each other. Although he was very confident, Cave Lord Scenic Cloud was definitely the strongest opponent he would encounter in the outer realm to date.

Let's begin. Bolts of lightning appeared around Meng Chuan as he walked towards Snake Fiend Star.

At this moment, light came to a halt; the tiny particles in the outer realm's void stopped moving

Apart from Meng Chuan, everything was still.

Time Stillness!

Meng Chuan leaped out of time. He could move for a long time at this frozen moment in time. Of course, even if no experts came to interfere with him, it would be a huge burden on Meng Chuan if he maintained this state of leaping out of time.

I have to set up a formation quickly. Meng Chuan waved his hand and threw out several artifacts. He placed them on Snake Fiend Star and began building a fixed array formation.

The array formation was a tool to communicate with spacetime. The array formation itself contained all sorts of mysteries. The user only needed 10% of their strength to unleash 100% of the array formation's effects. However, there was one disadvantage. The greater an array formation's power, the more complicated it was. In fact, it couldn't be moved at all after being deployed. Once it moved, problems would occur during the array formation's operations.

Cave Lord Scenic Cloud has mastered three Fifth Tribulation laws. I have to be sufficiently prepared. Meng Chuan knew this very well. Just like how Palace Lord Snowjade—who had mastered two Fifth Tribulation laws—could easily crush Ta Gu, Cave Lord Scenic Cloud could easily Palace Lord Snowjade by the same logic.

In fact, there weren't many ways to combine two Fifth Tribulation laws. There were many ways to combine three Fifth Tribulation laws. Any two could be combined together, and one could also combine all three. In terms of strength, it was much stronger than combining two Fifth Tribulation laws. There was even a high chance of the three combined Fifth Tribulation laws reaching the nomological Sixth Tribulation realm.

Although Cave Lord Scenic Cloud hadn't successfully ascended, he was nearly invincible below the Sixth Tribulation realm. That was why he was so domineering.

Even though Meng Chuan was a Fifth Tribulation Eminence who cultivated both his body and Essence Soul, he still requested for compensation. If not, wouldn't it be too embarrassing for him to leave without making any requests?

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Meng Chuan's Essence Soul was powerful, so he set up the array formation very quickly. However, since a fixed array formation was very complicated, he had to be careful when setting up the array formation. Furthermore, he had to attempt to activate it once to ensure that there were no problems with each of the array formation components' operations.

Thus, Meng Chuan spent nearly four hours to complete the formation.

The moment the array formation was set up, Meng Chuan's face turned pale. He quickly returned to the normal timeline and stopped maintaining Time Stillness. Tiring. It's really tiring. Meng Chuan's face was pale. His Essence Soul was extremely exhausted. Whenever he leaped out of time, he would be exhausted after two hours of free movement. The longer he persevered, the greater his fatigue.

This time, he lasted for nearly four hours. This was the longest Meng Chuan had lasted after comprehending the paramount speed laws.

Meng Chuan immediately consumed a Green Leaf Creation Fruit worth 80 cubes. He drank some fruit wine that nourished his Essence Soul and recovered to optimal physical state. In the outer realm, there were treasures that could instantly restore one to peak state, even if they were at the brink of death. The premise was that one had enough treasures. For example, treasures that were useful to Supremacies and Imperial Lords, such as an Undying Talisman, could allow an Imperial Lord to maintain an undying body for two hours. However, they couldn't stand in for a lifeform like Meng Chuan.

The stronger a living being was, the greater the price needed for a death stand-in.

I'll be waiting for Cave Lord Scenic Cloud now. Meng Chuan sat cross-legged on a mountain. His illusory Essence Soul World enveloped him, as well as the array formation he had secretly set up. The array formation seemed to be a part of his Essence Soul World.

Meng Chuan silently stared at the spacetime hole in front of him.

A spacetime hole was like a bottomless pit in the void. One couldn't sense what was at the other end of the hole. However, much was known about this spacetime hole. It was connected to Warped Cloud River System.

About 30 seconds after Meng Chuan sat cross-legged, a figure flew out of the spacetime hole.

So fast? Meng Chuan carefully observed the figure.

It was a tall and muscular man. Even though the figure had a human appearance, he was as tall as a small mountain. His skin was like black metal; every spot on his skin seemed to contain a world.

After flying out of the spacetime hole, he emitted a monstrous pressure, causing the space around Snake Fiend Star to distort, even though he was floating in mid-air.

What a powerful body. The pressure he exerts on the void is so strong. Meng Chuan was secretly shocked.

“City Lord Eastcalm,” Cave Lord Scenic Cloud's eyes were cold as he said coldly, “I offered you respect, but you showed none to me?”

Meng Chuan looked at him. “After plundering and killing for tens of thousands of years in my homeworld's river system, you still want me to compensate you? This is called giving me respect?”

Cave Lord Scenic Cloud looked at the figure in front of him. The cyan-clothed, white-haired man with a saber by his waist stood there with a restrained aura.

“From the looks of it, you have cultivated both your body and Essence Soul. Do you think you have the confidence to deal with me?” Cave Lord Scenic Cloud swept his gaze across his surroundings. The surrounding world was vast.

Smoke curled up. Children ran around. There were youths practicing their saber arts. Cultivators flew across the world. The world was extremely real. Meng Chuan had used a World Treasure as his Essence Soul World's vessel, boosting his strength greatly. “Your Essence Soul World looks very weak. It doesn't pressure me at all.”

This was the bitter truth.

Where Cave Lord Scenic Cloud stood resulted in spacetime distortion as if the void submitted to him. When the Essence Soul World came into contact with Cave Lord Scenic Cloud's surroundings, it was obstructed by an invisible force.

“I believe you know my request as well,” said Meng Chuan calmly. “All the Eight-Headed Star Swallowing Snakes that have plundered Three Bay River System for tens of thousands of years will be handed over as long as they are alive. That way, this matter will be settled.” Cave Lord Scenic Cloud was taken aback when he heard that. Following that, he laughed loudly. “Hahaha…”

The laughter was robust and bombastic as it stirred a void storm in all directions.

Meng Chuan's Essence Soul World suppressed the void storm with all its might. Meng Chuan frowned slightly when he saw how powerful the laughter was. He had already expected the other party to be very strong, but he still found it a little difficult to withstand him.

“I never expected a Fifth Tribulation Eminence to dare bully me.” Cave Lord Scenic Cloud looked at Meng Chuan with cold eyes. “You can forget about having this body leave alive.”

As soon as he finished speaking

Cave Lord Scenic Cloud opened his mouth.

Boom!

Cave Lord Scenic Cloud's mouth seemed to become a dark black hole. An invisible suction force landed on Meng Chuan through the void.

An Eight-Headed Star Swallowing Snake's talent was Star Swallowing. As for Cave Lord Scenic Cloud, he had fused three Fifth Tribulation laws together, raising his Star Swallowing to an unimaginable level.

Just by opening his mouth, Meng Chuan felt like he was isolated from his surroundings. He couldn't help but fly toward his opponent's mouth.

Go. Meng Chuan waved his left hand, and the 13 beads on his wrist immediately flew out. The Seventh Tribulation treasure—Thirteen Universe Beads!

Under the control of his Power of Essence Soul, the Thirteen Universe Beads flew out. Their might seemed to fuse together as though they were a world in itself, isolating any external forces.

His Essence Soul World also had a World Treasure as a vessel. It also cooperated with the Thirteen Universe Beads.

Meng Chuan exerted all his strength with his Thirteen Universe Beads and Essence Soul World. Only then did Meng Chuan feel the suction force weaken. Only then could he stabilize himself.

This left Cave Lord Scenic Cloud somewhat surprised. Many a time, the moment he opened his mouth, he would force his opponent to use a life-preservation treasure to escape. This City Lord Eastcalm could actually block him head-on.

Go. As he maintained Star Swallowing, he secretly used his second killer move.

An illusory shadow of a huge tail came from the void's depths. It instantly appeared in front of Meng Chuan. Wherever it passed, his Essence Soul World would be torn apart.

The tail was over 50,000 kilometers long. Its might was terrifying. Meng Chuan's expression changed. He instantly drew the dark-red Demon Slayer from his waist and maintained an eight-fold faster time flow. He used his movement technique to dodge the tail phantom.

His Essence Soul only represented a portion of his strength. His physical body was another portion.

This was also why those who cultivated both the body and Essence Soul were powerful. When Meng Chuan attacked, it was like an Essence Soul Fifth Tribulation Eminence and a Physical Body Fifth Tribulation Eminence attacking together. Furthermore, they had perfect teamwork.
