Archean Eon Art - Chapter 591
Chapter 591 Heading to the Ruins
Thousand Mountain Star, ninth floor of Eternal Tower.
Meng Chuan stood there as a large number of treasures floated in front of him.
Having built an Eternal Tower branch on Thousand Mountain Star, it’s rather convenient for me to buy treasures. Meng Chuan smiled. He was the manager of the Eternal Tower branch, so he naturally wouldn’t leak the sales information. It was easy for him to launder any goods. Meng Chuan wasn’t confident that he could survive this trip to the mysterious ruin. After all, Fu Sui had died three times, and Black Wind had died once. Although he was much stronger than them, he could similarly die there.
Therefore, he couldn’t bear to bring any of the following: Demon Slayer-which he had nurtured for many years; Bloodblade Disc, which he had refined as an intrinsic artifact; his Essence Soul World’s World Treasure, and the Thirteen Universe Beads—which was very compatible and very precious to him. He didn’t want to lose any of them.
“Seventh Tribulation treasure, Chaos Hole types,” said Meng Chuan.
Whoosh.
The phantom images in front of him changed once, but there were still an uncountable number of them. As a Fifth Tribulation Eminence and Eternal Tower member, Meng Chuan could see nearly all the Seventh Tribulation treasure vaults in the River of Spacetime’s Eternal Towers. Over time, generations of cultivators left behind many treasures, naturally amounting to an enormous number of treasures.
For instance, even though there were only two to three Chaos Holes per river zone, the total number found across the River of Spacetime was still astonishing.
Most of Eternal Tower’s truly valuable items were sold on behalf of other factions. The other factions also had a demand for them. Eternal Tower was the largest trading network in the River of Spacetime.
Meng Chuan swept his gaze across the hundred cheapest items.
This is it. Meng Chuan locked onto one of the items. “Chaos Hole Bead.”
This Chaos Hole Bead was the size of a grape. Even the treasure phantom appeared dark and unfathomable.
A Seventh Tribulation treasure—Chaos Hole Bead-contains a complete Chaos Hole law. Meng Chuan nodded slightly. It costs 1,800 cubes.
A complete Chaos Hole law was one of the most terrifying laws in the River of Spacetime. It was a Seventh Tribulation law.
Legend had it that Chaos Hole laws were formed by combining the complete spatial laws and a portion of temporal laws. With this as a foundation, one could reach the Seventh Tribulation realm!
The Seventh Tribulation realm was a legend. Even among the strongest factions like Eternal Tower, the strongest experts were at the Seventh Tribulation realm. The Seventh Tribulation realm was considered at the top of the hierarchy. Even large clans-like the dragon clan-in the River of Spacetime didn’t have any Seventh Tribulation Eminences in the current era.
My Infinite Saber, Nirvana Saber, and Cloud Dragon Snake Movement Technique can be considered small branches of Chaos Hole laws. Meng Chuan understood this point.
All of the spatial laws were a subset of Chaos Hole laws. The Cloud Dragon Snake Movement Technique could be considered as one of them. Of course, these three small branches were still far from Chaos Hole laws. Meng Chuan’s current goal was only the Sixth Tribulation realm.
With my current insights, I can only unleash a portion of the Chaos Hole Bead’s strength when using it. However, it far exceeds a Sixth Tribulation treasure. It’s considered the greatest investment I’ve made for this trip to the ruin. Meng Chuan had bought the cheapest Seventh Tribulation treasure. Why did Seventh Tribulation treasures have such huge discrepancies in price?
Most of the more expensive ones were easier to understand. They were easier to control, allowing one to unleash greater strength. For example, the Thirteen Universe Beads sold for 5,000 cubes in Eternal Tower. The cheaper ones such as the Chaos Hole Bead were too esoteric. It was extremely difficult to comprehend them. They had higher requirements for one to control them. The strength they could unleash was also relatively lower. However, the advantage was that they were cheap!
The laws that Meng Chuan cultivated and comprehended made him very compatible with the Chaos Hole Bead. However, he could only utilize about 60% of the Thirteen Universe Beads’ power with the Chaos Hole Bead.
Sixth Tribulation array formation treasure, Myriad Dragon Array, and this Purple Thunder Saber. Meng Chuan quickly selected the items. He had read through Eternal Tower’s treasure catalog many times, so he remembered many treasures clearly.
He just needed to choose cheap and suitable ones. After all, he was prepared to suffer losses.
After staying in Eternal Tower for more than two hours, he purchased one Seventh Tribulation treasure, Chaos Hole Bead, and two Sixth Tribulation treasures—Myriad Dragon Array and Purple Thunder Saber.
If he bought a Seventh Tribulation treasure, he could have it teleported to him on the same day. It came with free teleportation services. If he only bought a Sixth Tribulation treasure, he needed to add an additional 100 cubes for same-day delivery. Meng Chuan estimated that the cost of only teleporting items was definitely low for Eternal Tower. It definitely cost less than 100 cubes.
After leaving three Essence Soul avatars to guard Thousand Mountain Star, Meng Chuan left Three Bay River System. He first met up with Black Wind before heading to the distant Six Desires River Zone.
Half a month later.
Whoosh.
Meng Chuan and Old Fiend Black Wind flew to a barren planet. As they landed, the scenery changed. An elegant cave abode appeared in front of them.
Fu Sui—who was as fat as a ball—had already flown over to welcome them. He laughed loudly and said, “Black Wind, you spent more than a year traveling last time. This time, you’ve arrived here within a month. It looks like Brother Eastcalm helped.”
“Brother Eastcalm is astonishingly fast when traveling in the River of Spacetime.” Black Wind chuckled. “That’s why I got a free ride by having him bring me along.”
“You came quickly. Tiger King hasn’t arrived yet after setting off from Heavenly Dream Realm,” said Fu Sui. “Let’s wait a little longer.”
“No rush.” Meng Chuan and Black Wind nodded.
They had to travel a greater distance by coming from Goddess River Zone, yet they arrived first.
“This is one of my vacation residences for meditation. Sometimes, I will abandon all my subordinates and come here to meditate when I’m frustrated,” said Fu Sui with a smile. “Come, come. Although I’m a little poor, I’ve collected many rare items over my years of adventuring. Let me show them to you.” “I’ve seen them last time. There are many rare items.” Black Wind nodded. Meng Chuan was rather curious as he followed along to admire them.
There were only three Fifth Tribulation Eminences on this barren planet. When the fourth Fifth Tribulation Eminence, Meng Hu, arrived, all their companions were gathered for this expedition.
“Since everyone is here, let’s set off,” said Fu Sui. He led Meng Chuan, Black Wind, and Meng Hu out of the barren planet. They entered the River of Spacetime and flew for ten minutes before returning to the normal void.
Huh? Meng Chuan and Meng Hu stared in surprise. Their surroundings were pitch-black. They could only see some light in extremely distant places. It was the light of a distant river system.
“This is the land of darkness between river systems,” said Fu Sui with a smile. “One of the entrances to the ancient ruin is here. Can you sense the entrance?”
Meng Chuan tried to spread his illusory Essence Soul World. With his control over the Void Domain, he carefully sensed everything.
The tiger king also used his means to investigate carefully.
“This is the land of darkness. There’s nothing here.” The thin, gray-robed Meng Hu shook his head and said, “At least, I can’t discover it.”
“Neither can I.” Meng Chuan shook his head as well.
“Quickly open the entrance. Stop pretending to be all mysterious,” urged Black Wind. He had tried to probe the area previously when he came, but he couldn’t find it either.
Fu Sui laughed and began casting a mystic technique.
This was a mystic technique that opened the entrance.
Buzz
The surrounding dark void began to ripple. Meng Chuan felt the entire space tremble.
The distorted darkness affected up to a hundred million kilometers out. The distorted darkness instantly devoured Meng Chuan, Fu Sui, Black Wind, and Meng Hu.
Oh? Meng Chuan didn’t even have time to react before he felt himself sink into another spacetime zone.
