When Meng Chuan saw this scene, he could sense that many Seventh Tribulation Eminences were very calm. It was as though they had long known about it.
He’s even more ruthless than the two hall masters of Black Fiend Hall. Origin Realm Chieftain stared at Celestial Thearch Myriad Star. I’ve underestimated him.
“Realm Ancestor.” Celestial Thearch Myriad Star sat there calmly and smiled calmly. “I’ve always respected you all these years, but you have truly disappointed me this time. You maligned me without any evidence.”
“You know very well if I’m slandering you.” Realm Ancestor looked at Celestial Thearch Myriad Star.
“I’ve also noticed that over 100 middle-level worlds have been destroyed in the past tens of thousands of years. It’s indeed very abnormal,” said Celestial Thearch Myriad Star. “Those that can devour middle-level worlds are naturally Seventh Tribulation forbidden creatures. Perhaps a ferocious Seventh Tribulation forbidden creature was born in our River of Spacetime. Perhaps its talents make it difficult for us to probe it, thereby allowing it to devour over 100 middle-level worlds.
“As all of you know, there are strong and weak Seventh Tribulation forbidden creatures. The strongest can use Eighth Tribulation attacks. Hence, it’s very normal for them to hide from Hall Lord White Avian and me,” said Celestial Thearch Myriad Star solemnly. “Now, the most important thing is to find this forbidden creature. It’s not for us Tribulation Eminences to doubt each other.”
“Doubt?” Realm Ancestor shook his head and said, “Those destroyed worlds had spacetime concealed, so even I couldn’t pry into them. Among the current Tribulation Eminences, only you and Hall Lord White Avian can do this.”
“It’s not me. I believe it’s not Hall Lord White Avian either,” said Celestial Thearch Myriad Star. “It should be that forbidden creature. Its means are too brilliant; its spacetime abilities are in no way inferior to an Eighth Tribulation Eminence.”
“How rare is a Seventh Tribulation forbidden creature? Furthermore, it happens to have an Eighth Tribulation move that can conceal spacetime. Such a forbidden creature hasn’t been recorded in the history of our River of Spacetime,” said Realm Ancestor coldly.
“Perhaps it is a coincidence,” said Celestial Thearch Myriad Star with a faint smile. “Realm Ancestor, you can’t judge what you haven’t seen.”
“I’ve tried, but I couldn’t see the past or the scenes of those worlds being devoured,” said Hall Lord White Avian.
“I’ve also investigated it, but I was unable to see into the past. That forbidden creature’s ability to conceal spacetime is clearly in no way inferior to ours,” said Celestial Thearch Myriad Star.
Hall Lord White Avian looked at Celestial Thearch Myriad Star. “However, Realm Ancestor and I discovered that when the hundred-plus middle-level worlds were destroyed… Myriad Star, your outer realm true body was always missing.”
“Missing?” Celestial Thearch Myriad Star’s brows pricked up.
“When those inhabited worlds were destroyed, we couldn’t find your outer realm true body,” said Hall Lord White Avian. “It’s impossible for you to be hiding your tracks all the time, but there happens to be such a coincidence. Whenever the 100-plus middle-level inhabited worlds were devoured, your outer realm true body would disappear.”
“Perhaps you disappeared during those periods as well?” Celestial Thearch Myriad Star looked at Hall Lord White Avian.
“I dare to swear to all Seventh Tribulation Eminences and half-step Seventh Tribulation Eminences that I didn’t hide my location when the 100-plus inhabited worlds were devoured. Furthermore, all of this has nothing to do with me. Do you dare to make the oath?” The thin Hall Lord White Avian looked at Celestial Thearch Myriad Star.
Celestial Thearch Myriad Star fell silent.
It wasn’t a big deal to lie when speaking normally. Sometimes, a lie could be a white lie. However, important promises or oaths involved karma! The greater the karma involved, the more one didn’t dare to make promises and swear oaths easily.
A promise had to be fulfilled, and an oath couldn’t be violated. Violation would result in karmic repercussions. To Hall Lord White Avian and Celestial Thearch Myriad Star—who both had ambitions of reaching the Eighth Tribulation realm—it was equivalent to destroying their future in cultivation.
“White Avian, I’m not like you,” said Celestial Thearch Myriad Star coldly. “I won’t easily swear an oath.”
“This matter has huge ramifications on the entire River of Spacetime. If you have a clear conscience, why don’t you swear an oath to make everyone believe you?” asked Hall Lord White Avian.
“Ridiculous.” Celestial Thearch Myriad Star sneered.
“Myriad Star,” said Realm Ancestor. “Over 100 middle-level worlds have been destroyed, and they have had spacetime concealed. Among the current Tribulation Eminences, only you and Hall Lord White Avian can do it. Hall Lord White Avian has sworn an oath, but you don’t dare to do so. Furthermore, your outer realm true body also disappeared every time a middle-level world was destroyed. Such a coincidence happened over 100 times in a row? Do you really think we are fools?”
“These are all your single-sided claims.” Celestial Thearch Myriad Star shook his head.
“There’s me too.” Hall Lord White Avian looked at him. “I can also confirm the veracity of Realm Ancestor’s words.”
“It’s only the two of you.” Celestial Thearch Myriad Star stood up and said indifferently, “One is close to the end of his lifespan and doesn’t care about karma. The other is my only opponent in the entire River of Spacetime. White Avian Hall and Six Directions Heaven have indeed fought for many years, but to use such means to slander me. Even roping in Realm Ancestor—who is nearing the end of his lifespan—to slander me… White Avian, I hate your guts.”
“No matter what you say, you don’t dare to swear an oath.” Hall Lord White Avian looked at him.
“After reaching the Seventh Tribulation realm, nobody has the right to make me swear an oath.” Celestial Thearch Myriad Star snorted coldly before dissipating and leaving Nebula Palace.
After Celestial Thearch Myriad Star left, the embodiments of Six Directions Heaven’s other five Celestial Thearchs, Guild Master Darkstar, and several Seventh Tribulation Eminences—who were on good terms with Celestial Thearch Myriad Star—dissipated.
“As expected, he refused to admit it.” The white-haired Realm Ancestor’s eyes were cold.
“At the very least, we’ve revealed his true colors to everyone in the River of Spacetime,” said Hall Lord White Avian via voice transmission. “If he doesn’t admit it, all Seventh Tribulation Eminences and half-step Seventh Tribulation Eminences can naturally make their judgment.”
Realm Ancestor and Hall Lord White Avian hadn’t planned on making it public. However, Celestial Thearch Myriad Star’s attack on Deer Celestial Realm had agitated them.
If he dared to attack a young world that had once produced a half-step Eighth Tribulation Eminence, what world wouldn’t he dare to attack?
Realm Ancestor’s homeworld after his death?
What about Hall Lord White Avian’s homeworld if he were to die from serious injuries?
The greater his desires were, the crazier Celestial Thearch Myriad Star became as he approached the end of his life. They naturally had to mobilize the entire River of Spacetime to deter him; they even hoped that a faction would inform the Eighth Tribulation Eminence behind them and have an Eighth Tribulation Eminence descend to kill Celestial Thearch Myriad Star.
“Do you think an Eighth Tribulation Eminence will descend?” asked Realm Ancestor via voice transmission.
“There are only a few people in this era who have the right to contact an Eighth Tribulation Eminence,” said Hall Lord White Avian via voice transmission. “Let’s wait and see.”
There were disputes in every era. It was impossible to awaken an Eight Tribulation Eminence whenever a monster appeared every era.
For example, although there were Eighth Tribulation Eminences in high-level worlds, Eighth Tribulation Eminences left behind rules for their awakening. Otherwise, ordinary matters—such as the death of a Sixth Tribulation Eminence in a high-level world—weren’t sufficient to awaken an Eighth Tribulation Eminence.
To an Eighth Tribulation Eminence, crossing over hundreds of millions of years in one go… Among the countless events that had happened in the past hundreds of millions of years… a scourge like Celestial Thearch Myriad Star was probably not in the top ten.
It would only be terrifying in a certain era when there was only one half-step Eighth Tribulation Eminence, who was completely invincible when wreaking havoc.
…
In a dark hall.
Realm Ancestor and White Avian revealed the truth to the entire River of Spacetime. Celestial Thearch Myriad Star’s eyes were cold. But so what if those Seventh Tribulation Eminences guessed it? What can they do to me?
Those that are truly threatening are the ones who can contact an Eighth Tribulation Eminence. However, Eighth Tribulation Eminences… won’t descend easily. What’s a matter like mine in history? Although Celestial Thearch Myriad Star was somewhat nervous, he still had to take a gamble for his cultivation.
He believed that his luck wasn’t that bad. Furthermore, he had made many preparations in advance.
I’ll sacrifice once more to stabilize the situation. Celestial Thearch Myriad Star stood up immediately and silently cast a mystic technique.
Whoosh.
Celestial Thearch Myriad Star’s power spread out and condensed into countless mystic runes in front of him.
These countless mystic runes formed a blurry figure, and this blurry figure had an evil aura that shocked even Celestial Thearch Myriad Star.
He’s here.
The blurry figure began to materialize as a tall, thin figure with two curved horns in the dark hall. Endless sins and evil began to spread in the dark hall, causing Celestial Thearch Myriad Star to bow immediately. Although he had met several Eighth Tribulation Eminences over the years, this person… was the most terrifying person he had come into contact with.
This existence was also the most sinful existence in the River of Spacetime’s history.
“Black Fiend Progenitor.” Celestial Thearch Myriad Star bowed respectfully.
