Chapter 748: The Fate of Celestial Thearch Myriad Star (Final Chapter of Volume)
Translator: CKtalon
“To catch the eye of an Eternal existence before you reach the Eighth Tribulation realm is very rare,” said Fiend Mountain’s owner with a smile as he sat cross-legged. “But if you want to become a disciple of an Eternal existence in the endless s.p.a.cetime, you have to be at the Eighth Tribulation realm at the very least. Therefore, the most important thing for you now is to transcend the eighth Heavenly Tribulation and become an Essence Soul Eighth Tribulation Eminence.”
“Senior Fiend Mountain, I totally agree.” Meng Chuan nodded.
“The physical body is real, and the Physical Body Tribulation also targets the body. The Essence Soul Tribulation is much more troublesome. There are much fewer Essence Soul Eighth Tribulation Eminences in the endless s.p.a.cetime. Perhaps this is the rule set by the endless s.p.a.cetime… Physical Body Tribulation Eminences can only have one avatar, while Essence Soul Tribulation Eminences can have nine avatars.” Fiend Mountain’s owner sighed and smiled at Meng Chuan. “I’m looking forward to our universe producing an Essence Soul Eighth Tribulation Eminence.”
“I also want to transcend the tribulation successfully, but my willpower is clearly far inferior. I don’t even have the right to transcend the tribulation,” said Meng Chuan.
“You still have plenty of time.” Fiend Mountain’s owner said leisurely, “Even if you become an Eternal existence’s disciple in the future, you can’t slack off. Many Eternal disciples are only at the ordinary Eighth Tribulation realm. For example, Daolord Evodia of our universe doesn’t seek to improve. He is obsessed with painting… Instead, many people who haven’t become disciples of Eternal existences have reached extremely profound realms. Of course, it’s different for an Eternal’s personal disciple. Their treasures far exceed those of us without any backers. They are slightly stronger than even Dragon Ancestor.”
Meng Chuan naturally knew this based on what Daolord Evodia had said. Personal disciples were also at the limit of the Eighth Tribulation realm. Furthermore, they could obtain an entire set of Eternal treasures tailored for them. Their strength was naturally terrifying.
“I don’t have to think too much about it for the time being. I’ll think about it after I reach the Essence Soul Eighth Tribulation realm,” said Meng Chuan.
“The Essence Soul Eighth Tribulation realm requires extremely high willpower.” Fiend Mountain’s owner nodded. “By the way, why did you wake me up?”
“I walked to Fiend Mountain’s peak and listened to the Eternal lecture,” said Meng Chuan. “After studying it for years and figuring out a mystic technique, I specially came to give Senior Fiend Mountain a copy.”
“Oh?” Fiend Mountain’s owner smiled and said, “Show it to me.”
Meng Chuan handed it over with both hands.
The Ice Wonder Jade in his hand flew toward Fiend Mountain’s owner. It contained dense words that emitted a purple glow.
“A Purple-grade mind mystic technique.” Fiend Mountain’s owner smiled and nodded.
He had taken many paths in cultivation. One of them was to use the wisdom of all living beings to nourish his body. The Eternal lecture left behind on the mountaintop allowed several people to listen to it in every era. Typically, they had some insights.
Most of them were at the Colorless grade. Occasionally, there were people with high perceptivity when it came to willpower that could create a Purple-grade mystic technique. In history, he had even managed to come across two Gold-grade mystic techniques in his home universe.
The mystic techniques created by other cultivators could only be referenced; they couldn’t perfectly match one’s mind. However, it was ultimately useful to learn more. Fiend Mountain’s owner wasn’t talented when it came to willpower. Over the years, he had only figured out a Purple-grade mystic technique. However, he had learned many mystic techniques, including the two Gold-grade mystic techniques.
He had absorbed a lot of wisdom and finally created a Gold-grade mystic technique that suited him. After all, Fiend Mountain’s owner couldn’t bring himself to purchase a Gold-grade mystic technique just for reference.
Although his method took a long time, the cost was low.
To this day, he was still slowly gathering them. He wanted to gather enough mystic techniques to transform his mystic techniques completely and reach the legendary Rainbow grade. With this, he could become an Eternal existence’s disciple.
“You created a Purple-grade mystic technique with just over 10,000 years of cultivation. Not bad.” Fiend Mountain’s owner had seen his fair share of mystic techniques. With a thought, he had learned this mystic technique.
The Ice Wonder Jade turned to dust.
Although he had only learned the basics, Fiend Mountain’s owner felt that he had gained something.
“What do you want?” Fiend Mountain’s owner flipped his hand, and a thick book floated in his palm. “You can choose anything that doesn’t exceed one billion cubes from this book.”
A Purple-grade mystic technique bestowed a gift worth not more than one billion cubes.
A Gold-grade mystic technique bestowed not more than 100 billion cubes.
Fiend Mountain’s owner respected the crystallization of wisdom. The most important thing about using the wisdom of all living beings to nourish oneself was fairness. Otherwise, it would shake his cultivation foundation.
“Senior Fiend Mountain.” Meng Chuan didn’t take the book. Instead, he bowed. “I hope to exchange this gift for a request.”
“Request? Tell me about it,” said Fiend Mountain’s owner.
There were also differences in requests. If it was too big a request—one far exceeding a billion cubes—Fiend Mountain’s owner naturally wouldn’t care.
“I hope that Senior can kill Celestial Thearch Myriad Star.” Meng Chuan respectfully stated his request. “He is a half-step Eighth Tribulation Eminence in our era.”
“Celestial Thearch Myriad Star?” Fiend Mountain’s owner muttered softly.
At this moment, Fiend Mountain’s owner’s perception crossed s.p.a.cetime and pa.s.sed through the obstruction of Meng Chuan’s array formation. It landed on Celestial Thearch Myriad Star—who was cultivating in his homeworld.
In an instant, Fiend Mountain’s owner saw Celestial Thearch Myriad Star’s life experience clearly.
“Although I prefer bestowing treasures and not bullying the weak,” said Fiend Mountain’s owner with a smile as he looked at Meng Chuan, “I’m willing to cut you some slack and kill Celestial Thearch Myriad Star at your request.”
Meng Chuan was overjoyed. “Thank you, Senior Fiend Mountain.”
“Let’s go outside his homeworld.” The moment Fiend Mountain’s owner said that—
Meng Chuan felt s.p.a.cetime change.
He and Fiend Mountain’s owner had already arrived outside the homeworld.
The two stood side by side in the void.
“Do you need me to stop the array formation?” asked Meng Chuan.
Fiend Mountain’s owner stood by the side and smiled. “There’s no need.”
He stretched out his hand!
Whoos.h.!.+
His palm was vast, but it seemed illusory as it easily pa.s.sed through the array formation. The operating isolation array formation didn’t sense the palm at all. Furthermore, even the world membrane in Celestial Thearch Myriad Star’s homeworld remained intact, yet the ma.s.sive palm had already reached in.
The palm was nearly as large as the world.
…
The path of cultivation is difficult. Celestial Thearch Myriad Star sat on his throne and coldly looked down at the world. His other true body was cultivating in seclusion.
Ever since Meng Chuan presided over the array formation, Celestial Thearch Myriad Star knew that he had an additional opponent other than Hall Lord White Avian—Meng Chuan.
He focused on cultivation, hoping to create his own body formulation. When the time came, he could storm out.
However…
The more he cultivated, the harder it was for him to advance. He didn’t gain anything for a long time, and it was indeed tormenting.
Previously, he had chosen to rely on a large number of treasures to forge his Eighth Tribulation path, but it was done out of no choice. This was because he felt that his chances of succeeding by relying on his own cultivation were too slim if he didn’t rely on external forces. Now, he was suppressed and forced to cultivate arduously.
Huh? Celestial Thearch Myriad Star was astonished to see a vast hand sweep across the entire land and the hidden grotto-heaven.
Another Eighth Tribulation Eminence? Celestial Thearch Myriad Star’s scalp crawled as he was horrified. He wanted to resist, but the hand grabbed him this time!
Apart from Celestial Thearch Myriad Star, none of the living beings on the entire continent saw him. It didn’t affect them at all as they continued living their normal lives.
However, Celestial Thearch Myriad Star’s two bodies were pulled out at the same time.
…
Meng Chuan watched in shock as the hand reached into the inhabited world and scooped Myriad Star up.
Following that, Fiend Mountain’s owner stopped. The array formation and the inhabited world didn’t seem to be affected at all; it was as though they hadn’t been infiltrated at all.
“Take a look.” Fiend Mountain’s owner extended his palm. In his palm were two figures; they were Celestial Thearch Myriad Star’s two true bodies. “He’s Celestial Thearch Myriad Star, right?”
The two tiny Celestial Thearch Myriad Stars looked up and saw two ma.s.sive faces. One was Fiend Mountain’s owner, and the other was Meng Chuan.
“Meng Chuan…” Celestial Thearch Myriad Star immediately said.
“It’s him.” Meng Chuan nodded. They were indeed Celestial Thearch Myriad Star’s two true bodies.
“As you wish.” Fiend Mountain’s owner extended his palm, and s.p.a.cetime in his palm trembled. The two tiny Celestial Thearch Myriad Stars were completely annihilated with a poof, disappearing from this world.
Celestial Thearch Myriad Star, a half-step Eighth Tribulation Eminence, had died just like that.
Meng Chuan watched this scene. It was clearly his request, but he was still somewhat dazed when it actually happened. Celestial Thearch Myriad Star—who had wreaked havoc in this era—died just like that?
“I look forward to our next meeting.” Fiend Mountain’s owner nodded slightly before disappearing.
Only Meng Chuan was left standing in the void.
Whoosh. Whoosh.
Two figures arrived in the void. They were the thin Hall Lord White Avian and the elderly Realm Ancestor. The moment they arrived, they saw Meng Chuan standing dazedly in the void.
“I sensed Myriad Star’s two true bodies just now, but I quickly lost my connection with them,” said Hall Lord White Avian. “Meng Chuan, he was suppressed by the array formation and isolated from s.p.a.cetime. I shouldn’t be able to sense him. What happened?”
“I also sensed him,” said Realm Ancestor.
Failure was not an option when suppressing Celestial Thearch Myriad Star.
Meng Chuan looked at the two of them. “Celestial Thearch Myriad Star is dead.”
“Dead?” Hall Lord White Avian and Realm Ancestor found it unbelievable. Who could kill a half-step Eighth Tribulation Eminence hiding in an inhabited world?
“I requested Fiend Mountain’s owner to kill Celestial Thearch Myriad Star just now,” said Meng Chuan directly.
“Fiend Mountain’s owner?” Hall Lord White Avian and Realm Ancestor were momentarily at a loss for words.
Meng Chuan stopped the array formation and revealed Celestial Thearch Myriad Star’s homeworld.
Hall Lord White Avian and Realm Ancestor looked at the ma.s.sive inhabited world.
This inhabited world was no longer isolated, but Celestial Thearch Myriad Star had completely vanished.
They couldn’t determine his location previously, but they could confirm that he was alive. Now, Celestial Thearch Myriad Star was no longer present in the River of s.p.a.cetime.
He died just like that.
Hall Lord White Avian, Realm Ancestor, and Meng Chuan had many thoughts.
…
Chaos Turbid River.
Fiend Mountain’s owner appeared and extended his hand. Five Seventh Tribulation forbidden creatures and many Sixth Tribulation forbidden creatures hiding in the Chaos Turbid River were all caught in his palm. In the s.p.a.cetime above his palm, all the forbidden creatures died, leaving only their Life Cores.
This Chaos Turbid River was built by him. It attracted Chaos creatures from the outside world into it. Every time he awoke from his slumber, he would ‘harvest’ it.
These Chaos creatures are all my prey. It’s fine if you kill them, but you actually devoured their Life Cores. Myriad Star, you really deserved death. Fiend Mountain’s owner’s eyes were cold.
Many Eighth Tribulation Eminences had figured out how to devour Life Cores. However, the Eighth Tribulation Eminences in this universe knew that the Chaos Turbid River was built by Fiend Mountain’s owner and that these Chaos creatures were all prey for Fiend Mountain’s owner.
There was no need to offend Fiend Mountain’s owner for these reasons. Furthermore, Life Cores had very limited uses for Eighth Tribulation Eminences. Only Fiend Mountain’s owner valued them because of the special cultivation method he figured out.
In fact, in a certain era, there would occasionally be half-step Eighth Tribulation Eminences who figured out the devouring method and devoured a few. It was fine if Fiend Mountain’s owner didn’t see them in his slumber.
Since he had awakened and Meng Chuan had requested for it, Celestial Thearch Myriad Star’s fate was sealed!
