Chapter 739: Injuries
In his homeworld, Celestial Thearch Myriad Star stood on a tall mountain as he observed the outside world through the world membrane.
Perfected Lord Crimson Peace can’t crack the protective law, nor can he kill me as long as I hide in my homeworld. Celestial Thearch Myriad Star pondered. The time of an Eighth Tribulation Eminence is much more precious than my time. It’s impossible for him to keep watching me. When Perfected Lord Crimson Peace leaves, I can send an outer realm true body out to attack again. Unfortunately… this time, the Life Core fell into Perfected Lord Crimson Peace’s hands with the death of my outer realm true body.
The treasures he obtained from ordering the Seventh Tribulation forbidden creature to devour an inhabited world were naturally moved to his homeworld as soon as possible. Apart from some treasures and weapons, his outer realm true body only carried one Seventh Tribulation Life Core.
Although his heart ached for the Life Core, Celestial Thearch Myriad Star could bear such losses.
Oh? Celestial Thearch Myriad Star’s expression changed slightly. What is Perfected Lord Crimson Peace doing?
Through the world membrane, he could see Perfected Lord Crimson Peace scattering streams of light around this world. Celestial Thearch Myriad Star could tell that Perfected Lord Crimson Peace was setting up a fixed array!
He could only watch helplessly, not daring to leave.
Moments later…
The ma.s.sive array formation circulated and naturally condensed chains that appeared over the world membrane as though they were part of it. Nearly 10,000 chains completely sealed the entire inhabited world, isolating it from the outside world.
Celestial Thearch Myriad Star could no longer see through the world membrane, nor could he sense the outside world. He was even isolated from Nebula Palace.
I can’t sense the outside world. Celestial Thearch Myriad Star was somewhat fl.u.s.tered. He took a step and appeared at the highest point in the world. He looked up at the membrane wall above him and stared at the huge chain that appeared. He observed the profundities contained in the chain.
I can’t sense the outside world even though I have grasped the s.p.a.cetime law? Celestial Thearch Myriad Star was somewhat anxious. He knew that high-level worlds had similar array formations that completely isolated them from the outside world. Unless one was at the Eighth Tribulation realm, they wouldn’t be able to find such high-level worlds.
However, he also knew that such array formations cost a lot! Therefore, Eighth Tribulation Eminences typically only set up one for their homeworld.
How was it possible for such a large array to be set up just to imprison him?
Buzz—
The vast array formation activated, and the aura of power that spread out was very familiar to Celestial Thearch Myriad Star.
“White Avian, are you presiding over the array?” shouted Celestial Thearch Myriad Star.
The sealing array was in operation, but Hall Lord White Avian ignored him.
“I can guess it even if you don’t say it.” Celestial Thearch Myriad Star’s voice transmitted into the array formation. “An array formation that completely isolates s.p.a.cetime is very rare. However, the strongest among the deities in high-level worlds are only at the Sixth Tribulation realm, and at best, the Seventh Tribulation realm. They are unable to power such an array formation perfectly. It’s because the array formation absorbs external powers that it can naturally operate for extended periods.
“This array isn’t operating naturally. It’s controlled by a half-step Eighth Tribulation Eminence like you. That’s how Perfected Lord Crimson Peace could set up the array formation in a short period of time. However, you are a half-step Eighth Tribulation Eminence. Are you going to continue wasting your time with me?
“You are also at the Physical Body Tribulation realm. You only have one outer realm true body. If you waste your time here with me, you will be destroying more than half of your cultivation future,” said Celestial Thearch Myriad Star immediately. “Is it worth it?”
“It’s worth it!” A calm voice sounded.
When Celestial Thearch Myriad Star heard Hall Lord White Avian’s response, he immediately said, “I know that you paid a huge price to invite Perfected Lord Crimson Peace this time. Tell me, what are your conditions before you are willing to let me out!? We can have a good discussion and come up with a condition that will satisfy you. This way, you won’t delay your cultivation.”
“Perfected Lord said that he had given you one last chance, but you gave it up. Now, stay in your homeworld and never come out,” said Hall Lord White Avian coldly.
Celestial Thearch Myriad Star was taken aback as he immediately said, “White Avian, are you crazy?”
Hall Lord White Avian ignored him.
“You are destroying your future in cultivation. I can swear that I won’t attack your homeworld. I can even swear that I will only devour three more inhabited worlds. When the time comes, I can give you three billion cubes…” Celestial Thearch Myriad Star constantly lowered his requests.
…
Hall Lord White Avian shook his head slightly when he heard Celestial Thearch Myriad Star’s conditions. “At this point, you still haven’t given up on devouring inhabited worlds. You live up to your reputation as Myriad Star.”
After fighting for so many years, he had long known Myriad Star’s personality. Therefore, he was willing to pay the price to suppress him. If he gave him free rein, for example, Celestial Thearch Myriad Star’s madness would only exponentially worsen after tens of thousands of years—when he was nearing the end of his life.
Now, devouring these inhabited worlds was the result of Myriad Star restraining himself.
Standing in the void, Hall Lord White Avian looked around. Perfected Lord Crimson Peace had already left, leaving him alone.
I have to guard this place forever. Hall Lord White Avian waved his hand, and a cultivation cave abode appeared in the void. Furthermore, the surrounding void was completely concealed.
…
An hour later, Meng Chuan, Realm Ancestor, Lord of Shadowfiend, Deputy Hall Lord Blazing Sun, and Deputy Hall Lord Azure Dragon came to Celestial Thearch Myriad Star’s homeworld.
Celestial Thearch Myriad Star’s homeworld has disappeared? Meng Chuan and Realm Ancestor gathered together and looked around in surprise. The void rippled in the distance, and a cave abode appeared. Hall Lord White Avian—dressed in a gray robe—was waiting for them in front of the cave abode.
“Hall Lord.” Meng Chuan, Realm Ancestor, Lord of Shadowfiend, and company came close.
“What happened? Where’s Celestial Thearch Myriad Star’s homeworld?” asked Lord of Shadowfiend.
“I can’t sense Celestial Thearch Myriad Star either. Is he dead?” Realm Ancestor’s eyes were filled with antic.i.p.ation. It would be great if he was dead.
“No.”
Hall Lord White Avian led Meng Chuan and company into the cave abode and sat down in the courtyard. Although there were delicacies and wine in front of them, Meng Chuan and company weren’t in the mood to drink. They wanted to know why Celestial Thearch Myriad Star had disappeared.
“I invited an Eighth Tribulation Eminence, Perfected Lord Crimson Peace, to kill Myriad Star.” Hall Lord White Avian sat there. Knowing their puzzlement, he leisurely said, “However, behind Celestial Thearch Myriad Star is actually Black Fiend Ancestor. Black Fiend Ancestor gave him a life-preservation method… Even Perfected Lord Crimson Peace was affected by Black Fiend Ancestor’s array formation. He couldn’t crack the world membrane and kill Myriad Star’s true body inside his homeworld.”
“Perfected Lord Crimson Peace? Black Fiend Ancestor?” Meng Chuan and company were somewhat shocked. Two Eighth Tribulation Eminences were involved.
Hall Lord White Avian waved his hand. Meng Chuan and company looked past the courtyard and saw a ma.s.sive inhabited world appear in the outside world. Nearly 10,000 chains wrapped around the inhabited world.
“Myriad Star’s homeworld is here,” said Hall Lord White Avian. “Perfected Lord Crimson Peace set up an array formation and completely sealed off this inhabited world. Celestial Thearch Myriad Star will forever be trapped in his homeworld, unable to take a step out.”
“Unable to step out forever?” Realm Ancestor revealed a look of delight when he heard that. “He won’t be able to wreak havoc in the outside world. If he can’t come out, his future in cultivation will mostly be destroyed.”
Realm Ancestor was rather satisfied that things had developed to this stage. After all, how could a half-step Eighth Tribulation Eminence be easy to kill?
“This array formation can trap a half-step Eighth Tribulation Eminence?” Azure Dragon was alarmed. As the dragons’ current leader, he knew how difficult such an array formation was.
“This array formation can only be presided over by cultivators who have grasped the s.p.a.cetime law,” explained Hall Lord White Avian. “Otherwise, it won’t be able to trap Myriad Star.”
Meng Chuan, Lord of Shadowfiend, Realm Ancestor, Azure Dragon, and Blazing Sun looked at Hall Lord White Avian in shock.
They understood.
Apart from Myriad Star, only Hall Lord White Avian grasped the s.p.a.cetime law. In other words, Hall Lord White Avian needed to maintain the array formation and couldn’t take half a step away.
It affected his cultivation greatly.
“You will never be able to leave this place in the future?” Lord of Shadowfiend asked softly.
“How can there be no price for trapping Myriad Star?” said Hall Lord White Avian worriedly. “However, I’m already injured. I only have 50,000 to 60,000 years left. I can’t trap Myriad Star forever.”
“You’re injured?” Meng Chuan was alarmed. He had never known about this before.
