Chapter 581 Descent on Snake Fiend Star
“Yes.” Pang Feng and Zhong Yu revealed looks of delight as they bowed respectfully.
They wanted to follow him, but Meng Chuan could also refuse their request.
They were very happy to receive his permission.
This was because a Third Tribulation Eminence couldn’t help a Fifth Tribulation Eminence when powerful enemies were encountered. Therefore, a Fifth Tribulation Eminence only needed a small number of Tribulation Eminences to deal with trivial matters. There were no benefits if there were too many of them. Instead, he needed to provide them protection. This would result in greater karmic implications. “There are cities on Thousand Mountain Star to begin with,” instructed Meng Chuan, “I’ve already designed the new city layout. It will be the layout of the future Eastcalm City. Find Qing Gu and rebuild the cities according to the new layout.”
“Yes, City Lord.” Pang Feng and Zhong Yu were extremely respectful. They immediately left and helped build Eastcalm City.
Meng Chuan nodded.
At that moment, Meng Chuan thought of his wife, Qiyue. Back then, his wife had personally built an outer city in Jiang State Capital.
Qiyue. Meng Chuan missed her very much. He wanted to wake her up. There’s no hurry. Qiyue can still sleep for a very long time. To her, it’s only an instant. Meng Chuan was very patient after cultivating to such a level. Furthermore, the first use of a longevity extension treasure has the best effects. I have to prepare the best longevity extension treasures for Qiyue, Father, Mother, and Father-in-law.
The level between treasures at the Fifth and Sixth Tribulation realm had a quant.i.tative difference, be it in the outer realm or Ancestral Master Archean Eon’s treasure vault.
At the Sixth Tribulation realm, he could awaken Qiyue and his parents. As for the Seventh Tribulation realm?
Meng Chuan could be said to be close to the Sixth Tribulation realm; he could reach it within the time afforded to him by his wife and company’s slumber. However, the Seventh Tribulation realm was too far away.
In the blink of an eye, 19 days pa.s.sed.
Thousand Mountain Star, in Meng Chuan’s cultivation chamber.
His true body had been here for the past 19 days, studying the Void Catalog’s third volume.
Whoosh.
The thin blood-colored aura in the chamber rapidly surged into Demon Slayer. Finally, no more of the blood-colored aura remained. The wine cup fragment silently disintegrated and dissipated into the void.
This wine cup shard is just a vessel for this special baneful aura. Once the baneful aura is gone, it will be destroyed. Meng Chuan understood. Thankfully, I peeled a little fragment from it. I have to investigate its origins.
Meng Chuan looked at Demon Slayer.
Demon Slayer was now a dark-red color. At first glance, it looked very restrained and ordinary. However, if one took a closer look, an evil and fiendish aura would inundate them from the dark-red saber. Even Meng Chuan was alarmed when he saw it.
What dense baneful aura. Meng Chuan reached out and grabbed Demon Slayer.
The baneful aura from a mere slash of this saber will be plenty to deal with a Fifth Tribulation Eminence! Meng Chuan’s eyes lit up. Previously, Demon Slayer was only at the Fifth Tribulation realm. Due to the fact that it was extremely compatible with him, its power even multiplied. Now, Demon Slayer had become his trump card. It was completely different from his Seventh Tribulation treasure – Thirteen Universe Beads.
I’ll familiarize myself with it for two days. I’ll head to Snake Fiend Star after that. Meng Chuan’s eyes were cold. It was time to deal with Snake Fiend Star.
Snake Fiend Star.
This was a ma.s.sive star that spanned five million kilometers. Every adult Eight-Headed Star Swallowing Snake was large. Therefore, they had deliberately found a sufficiently large star to move here to create a branch lair.
Typically, Eight-Headed Star Swallowing Snakes could be seen sleeping on Snake Fiend Star’s surface. But now, there was no life to be seen.
In a chamber in a towering palace on Snake Fiend Star.
Two thin figures, a man and a woman, sat cross-legged. “It’s been more than half a month since City Lord Eastcalm slaughtered Three Bay River System’s plundering factions.” The woman’s eyes were dark-gold. They were cold and heartless. “He didn’t come to our Snake Fiend Star. If he wants to build an Eternal Tower branch, according to Eternal Tower’s rules… he has to wipe out all the plundering factions. We are the largest plundering force in Three Bay River System. He can’t avoid us.”
“Regardless of whether it’s a fight or a negotiation, he has to come,” said the lanky man. “Unless he isn’t building an Eternal Tower branch, but wouldn’t slaughtering the other plundering factions be a waste of his effort then?”
“Could he have gone to negotiate with Cave Lord?” guessed the woman.
“If he negotiates with Cave Lord, Cave Lord will inform us,” said the lanky man indifferently. “Just wait patiently!”
For special lifeforms, the higher one’s cultivation realm was, the more they cherished their lives. This was because they didn’t have an inhabited world’s protection! Their life-preservation means were much weaker.
Snake Fiend Star was already privy to City Lord Eastcalm’s intelligence. They believed that he wouldn’t do anything rash. However, when they learned that he had slaughtered all the other plundering factions, they were shocked! The Eight-Headed Star Swallowing Snakes fled back to Warped Cloud River System through the s.p.a.cetime hole on Snake Fiend Star. They only made two Fourth Tribulation Eight-Headed Star Swallowing Snakes leave their Essence Soul avatars behind to negotiate with City Lord Eastcalm!
Even if they were killed, they would only lose two Essence Soul avatars. Furthermore, the Essence Soul avatars of the two Fourth Tribulation Eight-Headed Star Swallowing Snakes didn’t even carry any treasures with them. They wouldn’t lose anything even if they died.
To their surprise, City Lord Eastcalm hadn’t visited despite half a month pa.s.sing.
“We’ll wait for another month. If he still doesn’t come, we’ll pay a visit to City Lord Eastcalm on Thousand Mountain Star,” said the woman.
“A visit to Thousand Mountain Star? Alright.” The man agreed after some thought. They didn’t carry any treasures with them after all.
Huh? The man and woman sensed something at the same time. They looked up slightly and saw a figure appear above the star. “He’s here!” The two jolted to attention. After all, they had waited for this moment for quite some time.
The cyan-robed, white-haired Meng Chuan stood above Snake Fiend Star and looked down at it. Just as I expected, they were so frightened from learning about my ma.s.sacre that only two Fourth Tribulation Eminences remained.
At that moment, two figures flew out from below. They were a lanky man and a woman. Although they had human appearances, they had Eight-Headed Star Swallowing Snake patterns on their faces. Their eyes resembled that of a snake’s.
“We are under Cave Lord Scenic Cloud’s orders to wait for City Lord Eastcalm,” said the lanky man. His posture showed respect. This was the respect a Fourth Tribulation Eminence had for a Fifth Tribulation Eminence.
Meng Chuan listened. These two were originally Snake Fiend Star’s supreme leaders, but they had only left their Essence Soul avatars to pa.s.s a message. “Cave Lord Scenic Cloud has said that he’s willing to show you due respect since City Lord Eastcalm is a Fifth Tribulation Eminence who cultivates both his body and Essence Soul,” said the lanky man. “The entirety of our Eight-Headed Star Swallowing Snake branch in Three Bay River System will migrate back to Warped Cloud River System. We won’t affect your control over the entire Three Bay River System. However, we have lived in Three Bay River System for tens of thousands of years. If we give up this branch, City Lord Eastcalm will have to compensate us.” “Compensation?” Meng Chuan raised his eyebrows. “Ten thousand cubes of Outer Realm Essence Crystals or the equivalent in treasures,” said the lanky woman. “These are Cave Lord’s demands.”
Meng Chuan wasn’t surprised by the other party’s demanding request.
As a special lifeform-an Eight-Headed Star Swallowing Snake—Cave Lord Scenic Cloud had cultivated to the Fifth Tribulation realm and grasped three Fifth Tribulation laws. His strength was indeed terrifying.
“After plundering Three Bay River System for tens of thousands of years, you still want me to compensate you?” said Meng Chuan indifferently. “Scenic Cloud thinks too highly of himself! Send a message to Scenic Cloud and hand over all the Eight-Headed Star Swallowing Snakes that have been plundering Three Bay River System for the past tens of thousands of years. Furthermore, none of you are allowed to enter Three Bay River System again from now on. Only then will this matter be settled.”
“We have to hand over all our fellow species that have plundered in Three Bay River System?” The lanky man scoffed as he looked at the white-robed man. “City Lord Eastcalm, you are overstepping your boundaries. In the entire River of s.p.a.cetime, countless Eight-Headed Star Swallowing Snakes have plundered. Do you want to act as a judge to all of them? Ignoring our Eight-Headed Star Swallowing Snakes, there are countless cultivators in the River of s.p.a.cetime that enjoy plundering. Even peak factions like Black Fiend Hall are established to plunder and slaughter. Do you want to wipe them out? Unfortunately, even if an Eighth Tribulation Eminence is born in the River of s.p.a.cetime, they can’t wipe out Black Fiend Hall.”
Meng Chuan nodded. “I know my limits, so I’ve already said that I will only focus on the Eight-Headed Star Swallowing Snakes that plundered Three Bay River System.”
“City Lord Eastcalm, stop dreaming.” The lanky woman couldn’t help but berate angrily. “Cave Lord’s conditions are exactly as stated. If you don’t agree, hmph! Don’t even think about building an Eternal Tower branch here.”
“When the time comes, our Cave Lord will personally come to Three Bay River System and wipe out your Three Bay River System. We’ll see how you stop him then,” said the man. “Therefore, bow your head obediently and hand over 10,000 Outer Realm Essence Crystals as compensation. That way, we will migrate; it’s a good end for both parties.” “Good end for both parties?” Meng Chuan muttered softly. He shook his head slightly and flicked his sleeve.
The man and woman dissipated in shock.
