Chapter 698: 698

On the Chaos Turbid River’s surface was a pavilion .

The black-robed, white-haired Meng Chuan was meditating in the building . He didn’t deliberately search for forbidden creatures . Instead, he focused on cultivating and preparing for his Tribulation Transcendence . Of course, his Origins domain was large enough in the Chaos Turbid River . If a forbidden creature happened to enter his domain, he could ‘conveniently’ hunt them .

He treated it as a form of relaxation .

Sixth Tribulation forbidden creatures’ Life Cores and corpses were still relatively valuable; they could be considered resources . Ancestral Master Archean Eon had relied on years of accumulation to amass all his treasures .

Meng Chuan’s current wealth was mainly given to him by Hall Lord White Avian . What he had accumulated himself was still little; he was still poor .

Huh? Meng Chuan suddenly opened his eyes .

The Chaos Hole law was a law that was good at domains, so his Origins domain was rather large . Although Meng Chuan was heavily suppressed in the Chaos Turbid River, he could still sense his surroundings for more than five billion kilometers .

This is the first forbidden creature that I’ve encountered since I grasped the Chaos Hole law . Meng Chuan looked into the distance . Through the Chaos Turbid River, he saw a massive creature slowly advancing in the river’s depths . It was an alien beast with eight long necks and heads . Each of the alien beast’s neck and head was like a long snake . The alien beast also had four hooves and three sharp, long, and thin tails . Its three tails danced around each other like scissors .

Its aura is quite strong; it’s considered powerful among Sixth Tribulation forbidden creatures . Meng Chuan stood up and took a step forward to approach the forbidden creature .

The eight-headed alien beast swam underwater . Its eight long heads carefully observed its surroundings as it searched for prey . Only by evolving to the Seventh Tribulation realm will I truly be safe in the Chaos Turbid River .

In the Chaos Turbid River, Sixth Tribulation forbidden creatures fought and devoured each other . Occasionally, cultivators would hunt them down; their living conditions were extremely harsh .

Only by reaching the Seventh Tribulation realm would one stand at the pinnacle of the Chaos Turbid River .

Devouring Chaos creatures is too slow . If I can devour a Sixth Tribulation cultivator, it will be much more helpful . This eight-headed forbidden creature yearned to become stronger . Beyond the universe, forbidden creatures had been fighting and devouring each other since they were born . The weak were devoured, and the strong became stronger . This forbidden creature had experienced countless battles to become a Sixth Tribulation forbidden creature . Although the Chaos Turbid River was even more dangerous, it was fearless .

“This is—” The eight-headed beast suddenly saw a pair of dark eyes .

The dark eyes stared at it like an endless abyss . The forbidden creature’s consciousness rapidly sank without any resistance, and its consciousness was annihilated!

The body lost its vitality; it remained motionless as the water swirled around it .

My true body was instantly killed? 32 . 5 million kilometers away from the corpse, a Life Core was hidden in the river . The consciousness in this Life Core was rather alarmed . Who attacked? Is it a Seventh Tribulation Chaos creature or a cultivator?

I can’t condense a true body . Once I do, the fluctuations in my Life Core will definitely be discovered . The Chaos creature carefully hid itself . At the same time, its Life Core hid in the water as it followed the water flow and fled into the distance .

Meng Chuan was currently staring at the eight-headed alien beast’s corpse . It’s so afraid that it doesn’t dare to condense its true body?

Meng Chuan also understood that he hadn’t disguised himself this time and had ruthlessly attacked instead . Thus, he had scared off the other party .

After grasping the Chaos Hole law, Meng Chuan cultivated the Pupil of Darkness to the 72nd level . He had also cast it using his Power of Essence Soul, which was at the Seventh Tribulation realm .

Meng Chuan’s strength was much greater than before .

“Can you escape?” Meng Chuan stood beside the corpse . His Chaos Hole domain affected a 150 million-kilometer area .

Boom!

With Meng Chuan at the center, an invisible force swept across the 150 million-kilometer area . Although Meng Chuan could affect an area of more than five billion kilometers, it was unnecessary to do so when dealing with a Sixth Tribulation forbidden creature .

About 35 million kilometers away from Meng Chuan, a bang sounded .

A painting then appeared .

The Life Core was clearly a painting .

Thirty-five million kilometers? Meng Chuan glanced over . His Essence Soul mystic technique attacked the Life Core and completely destroyed the consciousness within it .

Swoosh .

With a beckon of his hand, the painting appeared in Meng Chuan’s hand . He couldn’t tell what it was made of, but it was a warm white . The painting depicted the eight-headed alien beast; every long head looked rather sinister .

I only destroyed the consciousness without destroying the Life Core . The Life Core painting is still intact . Meng Chuan looked at the painting . As time passes, a new consciousness will be born in this Life Core, and a new forbidden creature will appear . When the time comes, it will still be an eight-headed alien beast, but it will have a new consciousness and new memories . It will be considered another forbidden creature .

It was relatively easy to destroy a Sixth Tribulation forbidden creature’s Life Core .

A Seventh Tribulation forbidden creature’s Life Core was much stranger . It couldn’t be truly destroyed . According to the method passed down by Fiend Mountain’s owner, one had to seal it first before destroying its consciousness . When lacking a consciousness and in a sealed state, a Life Core couldn’t nurture a new forbidden creature .

Seal . Meng Chuan casually sealed the painting and put it away with the corpse beside him .

In the past, Meng Chuan had disguised his strength because forbidden creatures’ Life Cores would produce fluctuations when their condensed new true bodies . This made it easier to find their Life Cores .

Typically, forbidden creatures’ true bodies were relatively far from their Life Cores . Even in the Chaos Turbid River, it was possible for the two to be tens of millions of kilometers—or even hundreds of millions of kilometers—apart . If one didn’t lock onto their Life Cores, their Life Cores would escape, making it even harder to find them .

Now that he was at the Seventh Tribulation realm, Meng Chuan could easily attack and cover over five billion kilometers . According to Meng Chuan’s understanding, a Sixth Tribulation forbidden creature’s true body was, at most, hundreds of millions of kilometers away from its Life Core in the Chaos Turbid River . Therefore, he could definitely find a Life Core if he swept through the area on a large scale .

Therefore, Meng Chuan naturally had no need to disguise himself .

This Life Core is actually a painting . Meng Chuan looked at the painting . Who painted it, and why did their painting become a Life Core?

Meng Chuan had always been puzzled about a Life Core’s origins .

A Life Core could be anything . It looked like an ordinary item, but it could nurture an extremely powerful forbidden creature .

The painting is really average; I painted better than this when I was ten . Meng Chuan flipped his hand and put away the painting .

He was in a rather good mood . After all, he had made another killing .

Following that, Meng Chuan returned to the building and continued cultivating .

…

In a remote area of the Chaos Turbid River, a blurry face condensed .

Another Sixth Tribulation forbidden creature died? This face kept staring at the Chaos Turbid River .

Any powerful cultivator or powerful Chaos creature could be its food .

On its blurry face, its huge eyes reflected the scenes from the timeline . It soon locked onto the black-robed, white-haired Meng Chuan—who held the Life Core painting .

Huh? Bark was shocked . This Essence Soul Tribulation Eminence was still an Essence Soul Sixth Tribulation Eminence when I saw him the last few times . He’s now an Essence Soul Seventh Tribulation Eminence?

Bark had devoured more than ten Seventh Tribulation Chaos creatures . After coming to this universe, it had also devoured two Seventh Tribulation Eminence’s avatars . It had many strange means, so it could determine Meng Chuan’s current level of existence at a glance .

Seventh Tribulation lifeform… The last time I saw him, he was still at the Sixth Tribulation realm . He clearly broke through recently . Bark was somewhat excited . A newly-advanced Essence Soul Seventh Tribulation Eminence? That’s great . After devouring his Essence Soul, my strength will definitely increase .

Bark thought nothing of a Sixth Tribulation Eminence . However, Seventh Tribulation Eminences were extremely delicious food . Furthermore, Meng Chuan was a newly-advanced Seventh Tribulation Eminence, meaning that he had weaker resistance .

Devouring a Physical Body Seventh Tribulation Eminence was very beneficial to Bark’s body . Devouring an Essence Soul Seventh Tribulation Eminence was very beneficial to its Essence Soul . As a result, it was extremely excited .

“He’s my food . ” The blurry face silently dissipated .

Deep in the Turbid River, a dark behemoth speedily rushed toward Meng Chuan .

As for Meng Chuan, he was focused on cultivating in the pavilion, so he didn’t notice it at all .
