<h4>Chapter 708: Choosing the Wrong Opponent</h4>
One of them was a new Essence Soul Seventh Tribtion Eminence in the River of Spacetime, while the other was ck Fiend Hall’s leader—who had been at the Seventh Tribtion realm for over 100,000 years. The other Seventh Tribtion Eminences and half-step Seventh Tribtion Eminences in the River of Spacetime naturally paid close attention to their battle.
However, this battle was too short!
Furthermore, other than the beginning of the battle, the most critical exchangested for about 30 seconds! Due to the spatial seal, these Seventh Tribtion Eminences and half-step Seventh Tribtion Eminences couldn’t see anything at all. They only saw the spatial seal finally shatter. Lord of Li Rainbow’s body was covered in cracks before he tore through the void without any hesitation and returned to ck Fiend Hall.
“From the looks of it, ck Fiend Hall Master suffered.”
“That spacetime was sealed before it was forcefully sted apart? Although I didn’t see City Lord Eastcalm’s moves clearly, they were very powerful.”
“In this battle, City Lord Eastcalm only sent a few Essence Soul avatars. In the end, he had the upper hand, and Lord of Li Rainbow suffered losses?”
Although the top factions didn’t see it clearly, they had some judgment.
...
ck Fiend Hall headquarters.
<i>Whoosh.</i>
Lord of Li Rainbow returned to his throne and sat down alone with a sullen expression. After all, he had reached the Seventh Tribtion realm before Guild Master Fiend Eye. As a member of the older generation, he ced great importance on his reputation.
Considering that he had reached the final bottleneck in thews of space and time and that he only had tens of thousands of years left to live, he wanted to show his prowess in his remaining years. He wanted to stir up waves in the River of Spacetime and obtain a chance to break through in battle.
To his surprise, he suffered greatly when facing a newly-advanced Seventh Tribtion Eminence!
<i>Have I really grown old?</i> Lord of Li Rainbow even began to doubt himself.
His body nearly copsed from the attack when facing a junior, who had only cultivated for 7,000 years. Not to mention that it was his outer realm true body! This body carried an Eighth Tribtion treasure.
As for Meng Chuan, he only had Essence Soul avatars and didn’t carry any treasures. Even so, the attack had severely injured Lord of Li Rainbow’s body.
“Hall Master.” A voice sounded, and an illusory fog appeared in the hall. The fog condensed and vaguely formed a human figure.
This figure’s Essence Soul avatar typically looked like an illusory fog; it was a characteristic of his Essence Soul formtion.
“Nightmare.” Lord of Li Rainbow looked at hispanion.
The person was another leader of ck Fiend Hall—Deputy Hall Master Nightmare.
Hall Master Nightmare was an Essence Soul Seventh Tribtion Eminence. The fame of ck Fiend Hall was mostly thanks to him. He was also very loyal to ck Fiend Hall. This was because ck Fiend Hall was the same as Eternal Tower... They were ancient factions that had a long history. They were established by Eighth Tribtion Eminences and had a rich heritage.
The reason why Hall Master Nightmare could reach the Essence Soul Seventh Tribtion realm was rted to a special heritage treasure of ck Fiend Hall. He had inherited that treasure, so he naturally didn’t dare to betray ck Fiend Hall.
The karma from betraying ck Fiend Hall was too great; it might even cause the Eighth Tribtion Eminence who founded ck Fiend Hall to descend upon this time node to eliminate the traitor.
Lord of Li Rainbow nced at hispanion and asked, “Nightmare, did I look to be in a sorry state?”
The two of them were infamous. After all, they were the leaders of ck Fiend Hall, which had plundered the weak in the River of Spacetime.
“A little.” Nightmare’s misty face twisted slightly as though he was smiling.
“I chose the wrong opponent,” Lord of Li Rainbow said softly. “This City Lord Eastcalm is really terrifying. Unfortunately, I haven’t seen his future... Now that he has reached the Seventh Tribtion realm, I can no longer see his future.”
Lord of Li Rainbow ultimately hadn’t grasped theplete temporalw. He could pry into a Sixth Tribtion Eminence’s future, but he couldn’t pry into the future of a Seventh Tribtion Eminence.
“Very terrifying?” Nightmare asked, “What happened after you set up the spacetime seal during your fight with City Lord Eastcalm? With your strength, how could you be forced to such a state by a newly-advanced Seventh Tribtion Eminence?”
“What happened?” Lord of Li Rainbow recalled the battle and said softly, “After I set up the spacetime seal, I could attack at will given my attainments in spacetime, but he couldn’t touch me. Therefore... I tried to attack Thousand Mountain Star first. Thousand Mountain Star had a fixed Eighth Tribtion-level array formation set up. With his Essence Soul avatar presiding over it, I couldn’t st it open. Therefore, I also attacked and split space.
“Thousand Mountain Star was separated from the spacetime around it. It prevented more Essence Soul avatars from being sent from Thousand Mountain Star as reinforcements,” said Lord of Li Rainbow indifferently. “I nned on casually destroying a few of his Essence Soul avatars before sealing and trapping Thousand Mountain Star to serve as a lesson for him.”
“To my surprise, just as I split spacetime and attacked to destroy his Essence Soul avatars... He unleashed his full strength. His previous moves couldn’t even touch me, but he used a terrifying move at that moment. Ten Chaos Holes in his Myriad Tribtions Chaos Hole Array produced a Heaven Splitting de.
“With thebination of the array formation, the ten Heaven Splitting des’ might gathered and erupted. Their might was unimaginable. Five billion kilometers of spacetime was reduced to leptons. Even with the Eighth Tribtion treasure protecting me, I was still sliced through. Although I could still fight, I would only be embarrassed if I continued fighting in such a pathetic manner.”
“Ten Heaven Splitting despletely sted through five billion kilometers of spacetime?” Hall Master Nightmare was rmed when he heard that. “To severely injure you, this move must have the might of a top Seventh Tribtion Eminence. Did he really not bring a treasure with him?”
“His Essence Soul avatars could gather and disperse as he pleased. He wasn’t carrying any treasures,” said Lord of Li Rainbow. “He relied on his own capabilities to unleash the might of a top Seventh Tribtion Eminence.”
“He’s this strong without relying on external objects?” Nightmare’s misty body trembled.
“He became an Essence Soul Seventh Tribtion Eminence after cultivating for only 7,000 years. He’s already so powerful after breaking through, and that’s why I said that I chose the wrong opponent.” Lord of Li Rainbow shook his head slightly, feeling regret.
He originally believed that bullying a newly-advanced Seventh Tribtion Eminence was easy, but the difference was huge.
“From now on, City Lord Eastcalm will definitely be an influential figure in this River of Spacetime,” said Lord of Li Rainbow.
“What do we do next?” Nightmare asked. “It looks like he has great enmity toward our ck Fiend Hall.”
“Let’s wait and see. Let’s see what he does.” Lord of Li Rainbow said indifferently, “At most, he will kill some Fifth and Sixth Tribtion Eminences’ outer realm true bodies. He won’t be able to shake our ck Fiend Hall’s foundation.”
Nightmare nodded.
ck Fiend Hall was established by an Eighth Tribtion Eminence. This was their greatest source of confidence. In addition, countless cultivators liked plundering in the River of Spacetime. This was because plundering was the fastest way to earn treasures. Based on these two points, ck Fiend Hall was filled with endless vitality, which allowed it tost until now.
...
Archean Eon Realm.
In a study in Jiang State Capital’s Meng Manor, a white-robed Meng Chuan was reading the book containing the 3,000 illusory arrays.
The previous battle had rmed many top factions in the River of Spacetime. After all, it was a sh between two Seventh Tribtion Eminences. In this short battle, Meng Chuan seemed to have the upper hand, but he could sense the disparity in strength.
<i>I’m still too weak when ites to attainments in spacetime. I couldn’t even touch him with normal attacks; he could do anything to me as he pleased.</i> Meng Chuan understood this. Even if he had used Heaven Splitting Chaos Hole alone, Lord of Li Rainbow could easily dodge it.
Furthermore, it was an ultimate move unleashed by the Myriad Tribtions Chaos Hole Array. Itpletely obliterated spacetime up to five billion kilometers. This was arge-scale attack that enveloped Lord of Li Rainbow, preventing him from having anywhere to hide.
<i>Thew of time is split into the past, present, and future. I haven’t grasped any of these three aspects.</i> Meng Chuan understood the weakness of his umted insights. <i>I’m very close to transcending the tribtion. At this moment, I should focus on studying array formations. If my attainments in array formations are high enough, my strength will also increase.</i>
Meng Chuan read the book.
He could now simultaneously condense 192 Chaos Holes with the Myriad Tribtions Chaos Hole Array. He had once wondered if he could make every Chaos Hole produce a Heaven Splitting de to produce Heaven Splitting Chaos Holes. If he seeded, the might of this move would be terrifying.
In reality, there were many problems.
Firstly, the bnce of many Chaos Holes ced a huge burden on the array formation. If too many Heaven Splitting des were produced, it would easily cause the array formation to copse, preventing the Chaos Holes from coexisting. With his current attainments in array formations, Meng Chuan could only produce Heaven Splitting Chaos Holes at ten array formation nodes.
Secondly, every move—Heaven Splitting Chaos Hole—ced a huge burden on his mental strength. With Meng Chuan’s current mental strength, more than half of his mental strength was expended after producing ten Heaven Splitting Chaos Holes.
<i>With higher attainments in array formations and higher willpower, I have a chance of making this move stronger.</i> Meng Chuan carefully studied the array formations in the book.
...
In the blink of an eye, 11 years had passed since the battle between Meng Chuan and Lord of Li Rainbow. Meng Chuan had grasped the Chaos Holew for 90 years.
<i>I’m getting closer and closer to my tribtion.</i>
On a snowy day in his study, Meng Chuan put down the ck book. <i>It’s time to make another trip to Fiend Mountain.</i>
