Chapter 701: 701

With enough energy, one could also affect the timeline .

Meng Chuan’s five Essence Soul avatars used Chaos Hole Heaven Splitting at the same time, and the attack’s might was terrifying . Even the relatively close timeline was affected, preventing Bark from reviving .

However, Bark was indeed very adept at the time lineage . It could revive by projecting from the distant past—a time which Chaos Hole Heaven Splitting didn’t affect . A massive, hundred-odd tentacle true body formed in the Chaos Turbid River .

Bark’s golden eyes stared at Meng Chuan . It was covetous, but it also felt that this newly-advanced Essence Soul Seventh Tribulation Eminence was too difficult to deal with .

With my spacetime strength, I can hide far away if I want to . His Essence Soul World killer move won’t even touch me . Bark was still very confident . However, my goal is to devour his Essence Soul avatar . If I escape, how can I devour him?

He has multiple Essence Soul avatars . Once he detects danger, he will immediately self-destruct them . He’s too cautious .

Bark found it too difficult .

The Essence Soul Seventh Tribulation Eminence in front of him had terrifying might when attacking . Meng Chuan’s attack could suppress him, but only this move was powerful .

In other aspects—including defensive means—Meng Chuan was much weaker . Bark could easily destroy the domain and corrode his opponent, but his opponent didn’t care . If he felt something was amiss, he would immediately destroy his Essence Soul avatar .

I’ll try another move . After Bark’s true body revived, it tried again . After all, it was too difficult to encounter a newly-advanced Seventh Tribulation Eminence .

Seventh Tribulation Eminences—who had broken through for a long time—typically had high attainments in the time lineage . The effects of its many moves would be much weaker against them .

Meng Chuan’s time lineage techniques were clearly weaker, so Bark held a huge advantage over him .

Whoosh .

When Meng Chuan saw the forbidden creature—which had resurrected in front of him—its body became blurry . Almost instantly, thousands of tentacles enveloped Meng Chuan .

Although he couldn’t see through the move, Meng Chuan could vaguely tell that it was a time lineage attack . In a split second, the other party had attacked with blistering speed, causing a massive number of tentacles to appear .

I never expected that I wouldn’t be able to crack its Undying Body of the Past despite using all my strength . Meng Chuan shook his head .

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Without any hesitation, the five Essence Soul avatars produced five Chaos Holes Heaven Splitting blades .

These five dazzling saber beams illuminated spacetime, and the spacetime within a five-billion-kilometer radius was completely annihilated . All the tentacles were naturally annihilated, as well as the blurry forbidden creature .

Everything fell silent, but Meng Chuan knew that the other party would soon revive by projecting from the past .

I’m leaving . Meng Chuan couldn’t be bothered to continue fighting . If he couldn’t force his opponent to revive with its Life Core, he wouldn’t be able to find its Life Core . His opponent would forever be invincible .

Fighting a forbidden creature that couldn’t be killed was a complete waste of time .

Whoosh!

After using the mystic technique bestowed by Fiend Mountain’s owner, Meng Chuan immediately felt the entire Chaos Turbid River repel him . Following the repulsive force, he completely disappeared from the Chaos Turbid River’s spacetime .

Whoosh!

Bark revived by projecting from the past again, and its massive body took form . However, Meng Chuan was no longer around .

He left? He left the Chaos Turbid River? Bark was indignant, but it was helpless . It knew that its chances of devouring Meng Chuan’s Essence Soul avatars were slim, even if they continued fighting .

At that moment, the flowing Chaos Turbid River froze .

Bark sensed the powerful shackles of spacetime about to seal it completely . Bark slowly turned its head with great difficulty and looked into the distance .

An old farmer covered in wrinkles walked over on the turbid river water .

Myriad Star . Bark’s heart turned cold .

Bark naturally knew about Celestial Thearch Myriad Star!

There were only two cultivators in the River of Spacetime that could truly threaten it—Celestial Thearch Myriad Star and Hall Lord White Avian . Ever since he learned that there were half-step Eighth Tribulation Eminences, Bark had been very careful . It seldom revealed its true body .

Even when dealing with prey, Bark only revealed its true body briefly before dispersing .

How is this possible? I only fought that newly-advanced Essence Soul Seventh Tribulation Eminence for a short period of time, so how did he know? Even if he knew, it should’ve taken him a long time to rush over . Bark couldn’t understand .

The Chaos Turbid River was a spacetime maze . It was very troublesome to travel through it . Only by becoming an Eighth Tribulation Eminence could one not be affected .

As for Hall Lord White Avian and Celestial Thearch Myriad Star, they were still affected by the array formation—which was augmented by Fiend Mountain’s owner and generations of Eighth Tribulation Eminences . Even if they sensed the battle between Meng Chuan and Bark, it would take them some time to rush over .

It’s very difficult to pry into battles happening in the Chaos Turbid River . It’s even more impossible to rush over in a short period of time . Bark flailed its tentacles in despair, but at that moment, the hundreds of tentacles moved very slowly . How did he arrive so quickly?

Seal! Celestial Thearch Myriad Star—who had come close—slapped his palm on Bark’s head .

Countless runes appeared and completely sealed Bark’s true body . Its eyes couldn’t move, and its tentacles couldn’t move an inch . Its massive body was like a statue, unable to exert any strength .

I’ve been sealed; I can’t move at all . Bark’s consciousness remained intact, but a terrifying force sealed every inch of its true body .

“It’s all thanks to Meng Chuan that I could capture your true body alive . ” A smile appeared on Celestial Thearch Myriad Star’s simple and honest face .

It was indeed very difficult to pry into the Chaos Turbid River’s battles . However, Celestial Thearch Myriad Star placed great importance on Meng Chuan . Ever since he saw Meng Chuan’s future timelines, he had elevated Meng Chuan’s status—second to Hall Lord White Avian only .

He would view Meng Chuan’s future timelines almost every few decades . Ever since Meng Chuan came to the Chaos Turbid River, Celestial Thearch Myriad Star had taken notice…

Meng Chuan’s future was almost certain to clash with Bark’s .

Due to Bark’s extremely high attainments in spacetime, he would discover a prey like Meng Chuan . Once Meng Chuan reached the newly-advanced Seventh Tribulation realm, this battle was bound to happen .

“After confirming that the two of you would definitely fight, I came to the Chaos Turbid River . ” Celestial Thearch Myriad Star looked at Bark’s massive but immobile body . “I’ve waited for more than 100 years for you to take action . ”

Celestial Thearch Myriad Star was very patient . To him, it didn’t matter where he cultivated .

As he cultivated in the Chaos Turbid River, he waited patiently, and he hid close to Meng Chuan .

“With your true body captured alive, you won’t be able to produce another true body with your Life Core . ” Celestial Thearch Myriad Star knew the way to capture a Seventh Tribulation forbidden creature .

Only when the true body died completely—or if the body or consciousness was destroyed—could the Life Core condense a new true body .

If its true body was only immobile while still alive, its Life Core wouldn’t be able to condense another true body .

The distance between a Seventh Tribulation forbidden creature’s Life Core and its true body is no more than 150 billion kilometers in the Chaos Turbid River . Celestial Thearch Myriad Star looked around and began to probe through spacetime .

With the other party’s true body in hand, even if the other party’s Life Core moved, it would definitely be within 150 billion kilometers .

Invisible fluctuations carefully swept through a 150-billion-kilometer area .

At that moment, Bark’s true body became a restriction! It prevented its Life Core from escaping .

The Life Core of a Seventh Tribulation forbidden creature has already been conceptualized . But as long as it’s within 150 billion kilometers, I will eventually find it . Celestial Thearch Myriad Star searched area after area .

With his realm, he finally found the Life Core—which was constantly fleeing within the 150-billion-kilometer area .

Nomological threads were pulled .

These nomological threads had fused with the Chaos Turbid River . One had to be at a high enough realm to discover these nomological threads .

Whoosh .

Countless gray threads appeared, and every thread had countless runes . Celestial Thearch Myriad Star forced these gray threads to condense into a tiny wooden sculpture .

This was a strange wooden sculpture with over 100 tentacles—it was Bark’s true body when miniaturized .

“Spare me, spare me,” said the wooden sculpture .

Hum .

Celestial Thearch Myriad Star extended his hand and grabbed the wooden sculpture . He looked at the wooden sculpture that was begging for mercy . First, he completely sealed the energy fluctuations within the wooden sculpture . Then, he completely destroyed its consciousness .

Bark’s consciousness in its massive true body was instantly annihilated, turning into a corpse .

Celestial Thearch Myriad Star smiled as he held the wooden sculpture in his hand . Even with his capabilities, he couldn’t destroy the wooden sculpture .

Even if he destroyed it physically, the wooden sculpture would only disintegrate into countless gray threads that would form again .

“Eternal and indestructible . Just releasing the seal will nurture a new consciousness,” muttered Celestial Thearch Myriad Star . “No wonder Fiend Mountain’s owner has been studying these Chaos creatures . ”

Outside the universe, Chaos creatures were an extremely large group . A Chaos Overlord could match an Eighth Tribulation Eminence . But in comparison, Eighth Tribulation Eminences had more profound means .

Below Eternal existences, Eighth Tribulation Eminences were the strongest group in the endless spacetime . There was no doubt about this .

However, Eighth Tribulation Eminences also had limited lifespans .

After obtaining the Seventh Tribulation forbidden creature’s Life Core, Celestial Thearch Myriad Star was in a good mood .

He looked into the distance . This Meng Chuan sure grows fast .
