<h4>Chapter 562: Forbidden Creature</h4>
When he was stared at by the giant head’s blood-colored eye, Meng Chuan could sense his will being suppressed.
<i>Huh?</i> This force was crazy and cold. It carried extreme malice as it attempted to destroy Meng Chuan’s consciousness. However, as an Essence Soul Fifth Tribtion Eminence, Meng Chuan was extremely powerful when it came to spiritual cultivation. His willpower far exceeded that of a Physical Body Fifth Tribtion Eminence.
The moment he was affected by the aura, Meng Chuan instinctively resisted it.
<i>That’s...</i> Meng Chuan was rmed. He carefully looked at the massive head that was 500 kilometers tall with a ck curved horn. He looked at the chains that were embedded in its head,pletely sealing its strength. <i>A forbidden creature?</i>
This was the first time Meng Chuan had seen a forbidden creature.
One of the dossiers left behind by Ancestral Master Archean Eon focused on forbidden lifeforms. Forbidden existences represented disaster, destruction, and great sin.
In the vast outer realm, there were many special lifeforms. However, one of them was the most special. It was even more special than pure-blooded dragons and phoenixes. It was even specially singled out by Tribtion Eminences out of all the special lifeforms. It was called a forbidden creature!
The birth of a forbidden creature was a mystery. One could be born anywhere in the outer realm, but their numbers were extremely low.
The strengthening of a forbidden creature was different from all cultivators. As long as it devoured other lifeforms, it would be stronger. Even a forbidden creature that had reached the Sixth Tribtion realm could slowly devour low-level worlds. A forbidden creature at the Seventh Tribtion realm could devour middle-level worlds. A legendary Eighth Tribtion forbidden creature could even devourrge-sized words.
However, an Eighth Tribtion forbidden creature was even rarer than an ordinary Eighth Tribtion Eminence. They could be treated as myths.
Apart from bing stronger by consuming life, it also had a special trait—its lifespan was extremely long. To a certain extent, it could exist forever! Of course, only its body existed permanently.
Without any end to its lifespan, its body could live forever. However... its consciousness would eventually decay and copse after a long period of time. A new consciousness would be born in its body. From life’s perspective, this was already a new life.
If a forbidden creature wanted to be powerful, it had to devour cultivators. It could even devour entire inhabited worlds in the future. Other lifeforms naturally regarded forbidden creatures as sins, so they were known as sinful creates.
Forbidden creatures were themon enemy of all life.
<i>A forbidden creature at the Sixth Tribtion realm was actually captured alive.</i> Meng Chuan was secretly astonished. <i>A forbidden creature at this level already has an undying body.</i>
Killing a forbidden creature below the Sixth Tribtion realm wasn’t too difficult. But once a forbidden creature reached the Sixth Tribtion realm, they could hide their Life Core. Even if their bodies were destroyed time and time again, they could quickly recover. They had undying bodies. Only by finding the Life Core could they kill or capture a Sixth Tribtion forbidden creature alive. Therefore, it was very difficult to kill or capture one alive.
<i>Whoosh.</i>
Meng Chuan calmed his mind and looked at the other Tribtion Eminences.
The three Fifth Tribtion Eminences—the proud, cold Pce Lord Snowjade, the smiling Old Fiend ck Wind, and the slightly curious Ta Gu—were also rmed.
<i>This stranger isn’t affected by the blood-colored vertical eye’s stare?</i> Pce Lord Snowjade and Old Fiend ck Wind spent several seconds to withstand the impact. Ta Gu, who was already prepared for this, took about three seconds to resist it sessfully.
What about Meng Chuan? Hepletely resisted it.
<i>His spiritual cultivation is very strong. He might be at the Essence Soul Fifth Tribtion realm,</i> guessed Ta Gu, and his eyes lit up. <i>It’s worth befriending him.</i>
<i>Essence Soul Fifth Tribtion realm?</i> ck Wind’s smile became even warmer.
The higher the Tribtion realm, the fewer Essence Soul Tribtion Eminences there were. They also became more useful.
“I’m Ta Gu from Shura Realm,” said Ta Gu.
ck Wind chuckled. “My name is ck Wind. I’m from the Yufang River System.”
While the two of them showed their friendliness to the white-haired man, Snowjade remained silent with a cold expression.
Meng Chuan smiled. “Greetings everyone, I’m Eastcalm.”
It was very difficult for a Fifth Tribtion Eminence to be killed. Therefore, there was no need for them to form a deep grudge unless absolutely necessary.
“The other living beings in the cave abode have already given up on advancing,” said the man with the snake tail. His voice resounded throughout the cave. “Now, the final victor will emerge from the four of you. Only the final victor can enter the cave abode and obtain the most important treasure in this cave abode’s opening.”
Ta Gu’s eyes lit up. He knew how valuable this cave abode’s treasures were.
Meng Chuan, Snowjade, and ck Wind were also filled with anticipation.
Meng Chuan andpany knew that the owner of the cave abode wouldn’t be stingy, especially when one took into ount the captured Sixth Tribtion forbidden creature, which was kept alive so that its energy could power the cave abode.
“We have four people here. How do wepete? A battle royale?” asked ck Wind.
“Master has long set the rules,” said the snake-tailed man smilingly. “I’ll preside over the cave abode’s final battle. I will expel whoever doesn’t follow the cave abode’s rules. If the rules are followed, you will receive a reward, even if you ultimately fail,” said the man with the snake tail.
Meng Chuan, Pce Lord Snowjade, Old Fiend ck Wind, and Ta Gu obediently followed the rules, no matter how high their talent was, how arrogant they were, or how powerful their background was. It was better to follow the rules in a cave abode created by an unknown Seventh Tribtion Eminence.
The snake-tailed man flipped his hand, and four stones appeared in his palm. Two were dark-red, and two were pale-white.
“I’ll randomly throw these four stones out, which will fly towards you separately. Those who obtain the same color will be in the same group,” said the man with the snake tail calmly. “The people in each group will fight one another until one side admits defeat or is killed. Only then will the winner be decided. The winner of those battles will engage in another battle... to decide the final victor.”
With that said, four stones floated high in the air.
<i>Bam!</i>
Invisible waves struck the four rocks. The four rocks rolled and collided, but they flew towards Meng Chuan andpany strangely and precisely.
A pale-white stone flew towards Meng Chuan.
Meng Chuan looked at the pale-white stone in front of him and noticed a pale white stone in front of ck Wind. ck Wind smiled at Meng Chuan. “Brother Eastcalm, it looks like I’ll fight you first.”
Meng Chuan nodded slightly. Of the three people in front of him, he only knew a little more about Pce Lord Snowjade.
Meng Chuan had bought information about Three Bay River System’s experts at Eternal Tower, but he didn’t know about ck Wind and Ta Gu.
“You and me?” Ta Gu looked at Snowjade. There were dark-red stones in front of them. They clearly had to fight each other.
“ording to the order of arrival,” said the man with the snake tail as he pointed at Snowjade and Ta Gu, “the two of you will fight first. As for the other two, watch from the side. You are not to interfere.”
...
Meng Chuan and Old Fiend ck Wind arrived beside the gigantic head. They stood in a corner with the snake-tailed man. At the same time, an array formation rose and enveloped 90% of the cave. It also enveloped Snowjade and Ta Gu.
The spectators were naturally outside the array formation, unable to interfere with the battle.
“Before the oue is decided, the two of you are unable to leave the array formation zone,” said the snake-tailed man. “You may begin.”
Snowjade stood there like an unmovable iceberg. At the same time, an invisible chill spread out, filling the entire array formation.
Ta Gupletely retracted his aura and allowed the frosty aura to attack him.
Neither party was in a hurry to attack.
Meng Chuan, who was outside the formation, looked up when he approached the giant head. He saw the sinful creature’s mountain-like teeth. The aura emitted by this sinful creature was much stronger than before.
<i>This sinful creature’s aura and intent are somewhat simr to Saber of Nirvana.</i>
Saber of Nirvana was Meng Chuan’s first technique to reach the Heaven Earth realm. However, he realized that the technique had ws. Due to it being wed, he couldn’t use it to cultivate his body and Essence Soul. Therefore, he deliberately slowed down.
<i>If I use Saber of Nirvana as the core to my body cultivation and Essence Soul cultivation, my life force might be close to that of a forbidden creature.</i>
Only after Infinite Saber reached the perfected Heaven Earth realm did he dare to cultivate Saber of Nirvana with full effort.
After all, Tribtion realm cultivation focused on controlling spacetime and allws beneath it. However, before one’s foundation was strong enough, somews couldn’t be studied deeply. There would be many terrifying consequences if one studied certainws too deeply with a weak foundation.
Meng Chuan’s current foundation was sufficient. However, Saber of Nirvana remained at the Heaven Earth Realm’ste stage. It was only one step away from reaching the perfected Heaven Earth realm.
<i>Saber of Nirvana, perfected Heaven Earth realm?</i> Meng Chuan sensed the forbidden creature’s aura that resembled Nirvana. Ideas came to his mind. He naturally began to refine Saber of Nirvana and pushed it towards perfection.
