Archean Eon Art - Chapter 580

Chapter 580 I’m Willing to Serve You, City Lord

A wine cup shard. Could this wine cup be some powerful treasure? Meng Chuan was puzzled. He could sense Demon Slayer’s desire. Like its desire to absorb flesh and blood, it wanted to devour the fragment. However, Meng Chuan didn’t let it do so immediately. Instead, he waved his hand, and the shard flew in front of him.

It was the size of a finger, resembling an ordinary wine glass’s fragment without any runes.

It’s just a shard. It’s not a treasure fragment. Even its materials are very common. There’s nothing special on the surface, but it’s very heavy. Meng Chuan was somewhat puzzled. Despite being the size of a finger, it’s as heavy as a mountain.

I’ve never heard of such a heavy cup before. Meng Chuan was puzzled.

Some outer realm’s materials were indeed very heavy. Despite being the size of a fist, they were as heavy as a star, but nobody used such heavy materials to make wine cups.

Perhaps some large-sized lifeforms would use super-large wine cups, but the fragment in front of him was very small. It was probably only a normal wine cup that humans used, yet it was so heavy. What kind of lifeform would use it?

Special material? It looks very ordinary. I’ll slice off a bit first. I can appraise it properly in the future. With a thought, Meng Chuan controlled the wine cup fragment with his Primordial Domain and forcefully pried it apart. The force was enough to crush a Fourth Tribulation Eminence to death. He then peeled off a sliver of the fragment and put it away. As for the remaining fragment, he stopped restraining Demon Slayer and allowed it to absorb the fragment according to its instinctive desire.

Demon Slayer’s tip touched the fragment and began absorbing it instinctively.

The fragment appeared ordinary. No matter how Meng Chuan looked at it, there was nothing special about it other than its weight. Demon Slayer’s absorption was like a catalyst, drawing out the true strength hidden within it.

Boom!

in

Meng Chuan only saw blood-colored waves suddenly surge out from the fragment. Instantly, it filled the entire cultivation chamber. The terrifying blood-colored waves made Meng Chuan’s heart tighten. His Primordial domain and illusory Essence Soul World were useless. However, Meng Chuan’s Primordial Body was able to block 99% of the blood-colored waves.

However, a minute amount still entered Meng Chuan’s body and attacked his Essence Soul.

Baneful aura? Meng Chuan felt the impact on his Essence Soul.

I’m at the Physical Body Tribulation Realm and the Essence Soul Tribulation realm. If it were an ordinary Physical Body Fifth Tribulation Eminence, their body would be able to withstand most of the impact. However, their Essence Souls would probably be severely injured. Those with weaker mental cultivation might even have their consciousness destroyed. Meng Chuan was secretly alarmed.

Even though one’s Essence Soul and willpower were very strong at the Essence Soul Fifth Tribulation realm, it would be pretty impressive if they could maintain 20-30% of their full strength when trying to resist the full impact without a perfected body.

At the Physical Body Fifth Tribulation realm, one’s body was in the way, but their Essence Souls were weak. It would be very difficult for them to withstand the attack as well.

Among Fifth Tribulation Eminences, only Meng Chuan—who was very strong in both aspects—could withstand the attacks easily.

If he was at the Physical Body Sixth Tribulation realm… the blood-colored waves would have been unable to break through his body’s obstruction. If his Essence Soul was at the Sixth Tribulation realm, his Essence Soul’s extreme strength would make the blood-colored waves feel like a gentle breeze, allowing him to face them easily.

The blood-colored waves are very similar to the baneful aura in my homeworld, but it’s many times stronger. It can threaten a Fifth Tribulation Eminence, and this is only a fragment of the wine cup. If it’s the full cup… it might even pose a threat to a Sixth Tribulation Eminence.

What is its background?

As Meng Chuan pondered, Demon Slayer frantically devoured the fragment.

It was an evil saber in Archean Eon Realm’s history. It liked to devour flesh, blood, and baneful aura; it would even attack its owner. If its owner’s Essence Soul wasn’t strong enough, they would easily sink into madness. Back on Archean Mountain, Meng Chuan chose it and named it Demon Slayer. After Meng Chuan rose to prominence-during his slaughtering of demons when he killed millions of demon monarchs in the worldDemon Slayer devoured a countless amount of flesh, blood, and baneful aura. Meng Chuan even used his comprehended insights to form Demon Slayer’s Dao.

Demon Slayer also devoured an alien lifeform’s flesh and blood, as well as the corpse of an Eight-Headed Star Swallowing Snake, but it didn’t absorb much baneful aura in the outer realm.

At that moment, it trembled and crazily absorbed the blood-colored wave. Having reached the level of a Fifth Tribulation weapon, it could devour this energy. As time passed, Demon Slayer’s color gradually turned red, making it look even more demonic.

Meng Chuan’s perception of Demon Slayer was very sharp. He could sense that Demon Slayer was transforming. It was a qualitative transformation of the weapon’s core, making it become stronger. Since it was a development towards more strength and Demon Slayer yearned for it, Meng Chuan naturally didn’t stop it.

Meng Chuan didn’t fear the blood-colored baneful aura.

After Demon Slayer sucked all the energy, Demon Slayer was controlled by its master. The backlash was naturally weaker than when it first erupted. Therefore, he was even less afraid.

It’s been six hours, but it has only absorbed only this much. It’ll probably take half a month to finish absorbing it. I’ll delay my battle with Snake Fiend Star for half a month.

He felt that Demon Slayer would greatly increase his melee combat strength after it completely absorbed the blood-colored wave.

He naturally had to deal with Snake Fiend Star in optimal state.

Two figures arrived in the void where Thousand Mountain Star was.

Thousand Mountain Star.

Two figures appeared side by side-a man and a woman-as they looked at Thousand Mountain Star from afar.

The man was tall and had a vertical eye. He exuded a powerful aura, but he appeared somewhat simple.

The woman was petite in comparison. She was dressed in a light-white robe.

“We’ve been in Three Bay River System for so many years, but we’ve never seen Thousand Mountain Star. Although it’s recorded in history that Thousand Mountain Star is in the surrounding area, we weren’t able to find it,” exclaimed the man. “It has appeared now.’ “The surrounding void has a range of billions of kilometers, but Thousand Mountain Star is hidden in a very tiny area,” said the petite woman with a smile. “Without high attainments in the void lineage, it’s impossible to find it.”

Indeed. If it wasn’t for Ancestral Master Archean Eon, Meng Chuan would’ve needed a long time to search the region that spanned billions of kilometers with his Essence Soul World. Even if I he found it, cracking Thousand Mountain Star’s array formation would have been very difficult.

With Ancestral Master Archean Eon’s detailed explanation on how to crack the array formation, it was much more convenient. Of course, only those at the Fifth Tribulation realm could do such a thing.

“I wonder what kind of personality City Lord Eastcalm has,” said the tall, vertical-eyed man hesitantly.

“Regardless, he needs sufficient manpower if he wants to build an Eternal Tower branch here. If we join him now, he will most likely be willing to accept us.”

“Should we wait for him to finish off Snake Fiend Star before coming over?” asked the man worriedly. “I’m always worried that he might fall out with Snake Fiend Star and anger Cave Lord Scenic Cloud. When that happens, he will be forced to escape Three Bay River System. Then, won’t we have to leave Three Bay River System as well? I don’t wish to leave. I still have to take care of my homeworld’s Supremacies and Imperial Lords.”

“Pang Feng, if you are too cautious about everything, you won’t be able to grasp opportunities.” The petite woman shook her head. “Once he resolves Snake Fiend Star and publicly establishes an Eternal Tower branch, there will be even more Tribulation Eminences who will follow him. If we only come when that happens, it will be very difficult for us to be valued. But if we come now… We will have a much higher status amongst his subordinates in the future.”

The man nodded slightly. He was a cautious person, but he also felt that the woman’s words made sense. He decided to take a risk. “If City Lord Eastcalm is forced to flee from Three Bay River System because of Cave Lord Scenic Cloud, we would have no choice but to flee as well.” The man shook his head slightly. They had never thought of betraying Eastcalm City Lord. Betraying a Fifth Tribulation Eminence was courting death!

“Once the opportunity comes, we have to seize it.” The petite woman didn’t hesitate at all.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

The two quickly flew towards Thousand Mountain Star.

Thousand Mountain Star’s array formation was vast. As they approached Thousand Mountain Star, they felt an endless pressure.

“Why are the two of you here on Thousand Mountain Star?” A figure appeared. It was none other than Supremacy Qing Gu.

A Supremacy? The two Tribulation Eminences muttered to themselves. However, they knew that he was City Lord Eastcalm’s subordinate, so they didn’t dare belittle him. The petite woman said amiably, “We heard of City Lord Eastcalm’s name and specially came to pay our respects.”

Supremacy Qing Gu was alarmed when facing the two Tribulation Eminences. However, he still remained calm on the surface and said, “Wait here. I’ll pass the message.”

After a while —

The two Tribulation Eminences were allowed to enter Thousand Mountain Star and came to the peak of a mountain. The black-robed, white-haired Meng Chuan sat cross-legged. He was meditating on the Void Catalog’s third volume with his eyes closed. He only opened his eyes when he sensed the guests.

The tall, vertical-eyed man and the petite woman were alarmed by this glance. They immediately bowed respectfully. “Greetings, City Lord Eastcalm.”

“Pan Feng, Zhong Yu,” said Meng Chuan indifferently. “Why have you come to see me?”

There were fewer than 100 Tribulation Eminences in Three Bay River System. Meng Chuan knew each of their details.

The two people in front of him were at the Third Tribulation realm. They were considered ordinary Tribulation Eminences.

“We heard that City Lord Eastcalm swept through Three Bay River System’s plundering factions in just a few hours. We are extremely impressed,” said the petite woman, Zhong Yu. “Furthermore, our cultivation has become more difficult after we reached the Tribulation realm. We’ve always yearned for guidance. Having learned that City Lord Eastcalm has arrived at Three Bay River System, we became extremely excited. Therefore, we immediately rushed over and wished to come under you. We are willing to serve you.”

“It’s the same for me, Pang Feng. I wish to come under you and serve you, City Lord Eastcalm,” said the tall, vertical-eyed man hurriedly.

They had only seen a handful of Fifth Tribulation Eminences in their lives. He felt immense pressure every time.

The look in City Lord Eastcalm’s eyes brought about a terrifying mental pressure. He was likely at the Essence Soul Fifth Tribulation realm! It was said that the Essence Soul Fifth Tribulation Eminence was much harder to deal with than a Physical Body Fifth Tribulation Eminence. He had chosen a powerful person to cozy with.

“Come under me?” Meng Chuan raised his eyebrows. Now that he wanted to build Eastcalm City and an Eternal Tower branch, he had many miscellaneous matters to attend to. Supremacy Qing Gu and his two disciples were too weak to hold the fort. He really needed Tribulation Eminences to be his subordinates.

He originally imagined that Tribulation Eminence would only follow him after he resolved Snake Fiend Star and publicly established an Eternal Tower branch.

The two in front of him were fast! At the very least, they were the first to come to him. Furthermore, his intelligence about them showed that they were considered decent.

Meng Chuan nodded. “Alright, you two can work for me in the future.”
