Chapter 579 Extraordinary Treasure
Eight-Headed Star Swallowing Snakes lived on Snake Fiend Star. The leader was at the Fourth Tribulation realm.
I once obtained an adult Eight-Headed Star Swallowing Snake corpse from Senior Pang Ming. Meng Chuan found it rather magical. Now, I’m facing a branch of the Eight-Headed Star Swallowing Snake species. The ten-plus Eight-Headed Star Swallowing Snakes that live on Snake Fiend Star are nothing to me. However, there’s a spacetime hole on Snake Fiend Star that connects to Warped Cloud River System.
There were various special phenomena in the outer realm. Spacetime holes were one of them. Through them, one could reach a distant place.
The two regions connected to each other by spacetime holes were usually in the same river zone. Very few connected to places in different river zones.
I can instantly destroy Snake Fiend Star. However, on the other end of Snake Fiend Star’s spacetime hole is Warped Cloud River System, which is the true lair of Eight-Headed Star Swallowing Snakes. Meng Chuan knew this very well.
More than 30,000 years ago, Three Bay River System did not have Eight-Headed Star Swallowing Snakes. Later, Warped Cloud River System’s Eight-Headed Star Swallowing Snakes discovered a spacetime hole that led to Three Bay River System. When they arrived at Three Bay River System, they realized that there were no Fifth Tribulation Eminences here. Therefore, they moved a massive star to the entrance of the spacetime hole. The star’s layout was modified, becoming Snake Fiend Star. It was governed by an Eight-Headed Star Swallowing Snake at the Tribulation realm with eight other adult Eight-Headed Star Swallowing Snakes. They wantonly plundered Three Bay River System.
Warped Cloud River System’s strongest expert is an Eight-Headed Star Swallowing Snake at the Fifth Tribulation realm. Its name is Cave Lord Scenic Cloud; its a Physical Body Fifth Tribulation Eminence. It has cultivated for more than 50,000 years and has grasped three Fifth Tribulation laws. Unfortunately, the compatibility between its three grasped laws are too low. It failed to fuse them into a Sixth Tribulation law. Even so, it’s extremely powerful at the Fifth Tribulation realm. It’s much stronger than Palace Lord Snowjade. Meng Chuan knew this very well. Under normal circumstances, one would have a high chance of fusing three Fifth Tribulation laws into a Sixth Tribulation law. However, failure happened when there was low compatibility between the laws. This was the case for Cave Lord Scenic Cloud.
Palace Lord Snowjade was also at the Physical Body Fifth Tribulation realm. He had also grasped two Fifth Tribulation laws. Furthermore, he had only recently broken through, so he naturally wasn’t willing to offend Cave Lord Scenic Cloud.
Fortunately…
Thankfully, the Eight-Headed Star Swallowing Snake species in the entire River of Spacetime hasn’t produced a Sixth Tribulation Eminence in this era. According to the intelligence, there are over 30 Fifth Tribulation Eminences in the species, and they are scattered across the River of Spacetime.
In terms of life’s natural order, the Eight-Headed Star Swallowing Snakes were in no way inferior to Scarlet Snakes.
However, the Scarlet Snake species had produced Starlord Scarlet Snake. He was considered one of the top Sixth Tribulation Eminences. Therefore, the environment the Scarlet Snakes lived in was much better. They even had a large lair in the River of Spacetime
-Scarlet Snake Star! The number of Fifth Tribulation realm Scarlet Snakes on Scarlet Snake Planet accounted for half of those in the River of Spacetime.
For example, the Eight-Headed Star Swallowing Snake species hadn’t produced a Sixth Tribulation Eminence, so they were relatively weak. Their species was bullied everywhere… With no Sixth Tribulation Eminence protecting them, their living conditions were much worse than the Scarlet Snakes.
Under such circumstances, the Eight-Headed Star Swallowing Snakes were naturally extremely scattered! Since they were scattered, they wouldn’t be affected when they encountered a formidable enemy. They could reproduce and survive.
Special lifeforms are very united because they don’t have an inhabited world’s protection. There are 30 known Fifth Tribulation Eminences for the species, and there’s one who has grasped a Sixth Tribulation law, but it hasn’t fully stepped into the Sixth Tribulation realm.
That Eight-Headed Star Swallowing Snake, who has grasped the Sixth Tribulation law, is very far away. It will take it at least half a year to reach here.
I won’t be able to kill Cave Lord Scenic Cloud. I’m only capable of killing one true body of each of the eight Fourth Tribulation Eight-Headed Star Swallowing Snakes. If the strongest Eight-Headed Star Swallowing Snake wants to deal with such a trivial matter, it will have to travel across the River of Spacetime all day.
Meng Chuan knew very well that the only person he needed to deal with was Cave Lord Scenic Cloud.
Physical Body Fifth Tribulation realm, and has grasped three Fifth Tribulation laws. Meng Chuan felt pressured. I have to make sufficient preparations.
According to Eternal Tower’s investigations, Snake Fiend Star has slaughtered more than 5,000 cultivators in Three Bay River System in the past 10,000 years. Many had their true bodies destroyed, but that can’t be confirmed by Eternal Tower’s investigations. There are probably many more victims.
The intelligence provided by Eternal Tower consisted of confirmed cases. Eternal Tower wasn’t omnipotent. Its investigations couldn’t pinpoint those who carried out more covert operations or if the deceased didn’t have much connection to Eternal Tower.
Many low-level worlds only had one Supremacy.
When killed, their true bodies and avatars were destroyed! They couldn’t recount this to anyone else-it was a very common situation.
In 10,000 years, there have been more than 5,000 confirmed cases. In fact, 20,000 to 30,000 people have likely been slaughtered. The Eight-Headed Star Swallowing Snake species has been in Three Bay River System for over 30,000 years. Nearly 100,000 cultivators have likely been slaughtered. Meng Chuan estimated the number of deaths with a ferocious glint in his eyes. They really treat Three Bay River System as a hunting ground for Eight-Headed Star Swallowing Snakes.
To have no intention of paying the price after slaughtering so many people? As for Cave Lord Scenic Cloud and the entire Eight-Headed Star Swallowing Snake species? Meng Chuan made a decision.
To have reached the Fifth Tribulation realm with an Imperial Lord-level paramount technique in a short period of time, reaching the Sixth Tribulation realm wasn’t a distant possibility for Meng Chuan.
Now, he had grasped two Fifth Tribulation laws. He was also studying the Void Catalog’s third volume. He was confident that his Cloud Dragon Snake Movement Technique would reach the Fifth Tribulation realm in the near future. When that happened, he would have grasped three Fifth Tribulation realm laws. Furthermore, Infinite Saber was a pure time lineage technique. Cloud Dragon Snake Movement Technique was a pure spatial lineage technique. Nirvana Saber fused both the time lineage and the spatial lineage. The three were extremely compatible. Therefore, Meng Chuan had the confidence to deal with the entire Eight-Headed Star Swallowing Snakes species.
Meng Chuan had to admit that Cave Lord Scenic Cloud was not to be trifled with. Therefore, he chose array formations and other items from Ancestral Master Archean Eon’s treasure vault in advance and prepared to send his true body.
Before setting off, I should check my war spoils. Meng Chuan was in a good mood. I wiped out the 17 other plundering factions. Of the 19 Tribulation Eminences on the list… I killed 13 Tribulation Eminences’ true bodies. Six of them were completely killed.
I only found 127 of the 139 Imperial Lords on the list. All of them have been killed.
Not long after he joined Eternal Tower, a handful of Fourth Tribulation Eminences in Three Bay River System learned of Eastcalm City Lord’s existence.
Some Imperial Lords among the plundering factions were related to them. They had fled back to their homeworlds early. Meng Chuan failed to see them with his own eyes, so his karmic connection with these Imperial Lords was very weak. He naturally couldn’t kill the Imperial Lords hiding in inhabited worlds.
All the six Tribulation Eminences I completely killed off were special lifeforms. It wasn’t by Meng Chuan’s choice. A Tribulation Eminence from a plundering faction was at least at the Second Tribulation realm. With a homeworld in the way, Meng Chuan had no way of killing their true bodies. Cave Lord Redmynah left behind the most treasures. They are worth over 6,000 Outer Realm Essence Crystals. Yes, this one is not bad either. It is worth over 2,000 cubes.
ices
Meng Chuan carefully inspected his war spoils. It’s no wonder many Tribulation Eminences crazily plunder others. They do gain plenty from such acts.
He had obtained quite a lot from killing these plundering factions.
He only destroyed one of the three Fourth Tribulation Eminences’ true bodies, earning him over 9,000 cubes; Cave Lord Redmynah contributed the most of it.
There were 11 Third Tribulation Eminences. He obtained more than 5,000 cubes from them. There were five Second Tribulation Eminences. He obtained nearly 1,000 cubes from them.
There were also many Imperial Lords’ treasures…
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
He directly teleported the Imperial Lords’ treasures out of their mobile grotto-heavens and storage spaces. Soon, piles of items appeared in front of Meng Chuan. Meng Chuan could probe the items with his Essence Soul domain with a thought. With his experience, he could tell the value of 99% of the items.
Whoosh.
Meng Chuan took out a spatial bracelet and forcefully infused his Power of Essence Soul into it. He teleported all the items inside out. Another pile of items surrounded him.
As Meng Chuan calculated the value of the treasures, he suddenly lowered his head and looked at his waist.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
Meng Chuan’s Demon Slayer trembled as it attempted to leave the scabbard.
Demon Slayer was a weapon Meng Chuan had chosen when he finished cultivating at Archean Mountain. He had been nurturing it for many years. He even carried it with him all the time, nurturing it for a long time. Its compatibility with Meng Chuan was higher than his intrinsic treasure, Bloodblade Disc.
What’s going on? Meng Chuan was somewhat surprised. He could sense that Demon Slayer had been greatly attracted by something and wanted to leave the scabbard.
Go. With a thought, Meng Chuan controlled Demon Slayer and allowed it to fly to the source of attraction.
Swoosh.
Demon Slayer immediately flew out and charged into the latest pile of items with a boom. The invisible force sent many miscellaneous items flying. Demon Slayer’s power only enveloped one of the items, causing it to float in front of Demon Slayer.
It was a fragment of a wine cup-only the size of a finger.
