Archean Eon Art
Archean Eon Art - Chapter 550: Perfected Imperial Lord Paramount Technique

Meng Dajiang and Liu Yebai had experienced too many things. They had long gotten around the concept of death and could face death calmly. However, if they could live for a few more centuries or 1,000 more years? They naturally wanted to live longer.

“Chuan’er, can you really do it?” Bai Nianyun was somewhat excited and nervous.

“Yes.” Meng Chuan nodded. “I’m confident.”

He was confident. Although longevity extension treasures were rare, the weaker one was, the easier it was to extend one’s lifespan. It was especially easy to extend one’s lifespan by 2,000 years.

It was much more difficult to extend a Supremacy’s lifespan or an Imperial Lord’s lifespan. It was even harder to extend a Tribulation Eminence’s lifespan.

All the treasures in Ancestral Master Archean Eon’s treasure vault were extraordinary. Some could extend a Supremacy’s lifespan. Some even worked on Imperial Lords and Tribulation Eminences. However, Meng Chuan could only choose one!

However, as long as he chose a valuable treasure, Meng Chuan would be qualified to exchange for five to six ordinary longevity extension treasures when he became a Fifth Tribulation Eminence.

Meng Chuan planned to extend his wife, father, mother, and father-in-law’s lifespans.

The price for extending his wife’s lifespan was the greatest. She was a Regis Godfiend. She could condense Phoenix Divine Fire when she burned her Phoenix bloodline. Because of this, it cost much more to extend her lifespan than to extend an ordinary Supremacy’s lifespan. On the contrary, the three elders combined would cost less than Liu Qiyue.

“Extend by 1,000 years?” Meng Dajiang and Liu Yebai exchanged looks.

“Is it very difficult?” Meng Dajiang was somewhat worried about his son.

Meng Chuan smiled at his father and father-in-law. “It’s not difficult.”

Why did he cultivate? It was for his homeworld and his family. Only when his family lived a better life did Meng Chuan feel that his cultivation was of value. What was the point of being invincible if he was alone forever?

“It’s not difficult?” Meng Dajiang, Liu Yebai, and Bai Nianyun looked at Meng Chuan in disbelief.

“It’s not difficult for me,” said Meng Chuan with a smile. “Father-in-law, Dad, Mom, I’ll be honest with you. It won’t take me long before I reach the Fifth Tribulation realm. It’s still possible for a Fifth Tribulation Eminence to extend the lifespan of weaker cultivators.”

“Fifth Tribulation realm?”

Meng Dajiang, Bai Nianyun, and Liu Yebai knew some information regarding the outer realm. They also roughly understood the strength difference between Tribulation realm experts.

They knew that in human history, four Tribulation Eminences had been born before Meng Chuan. The strongest one was Ancestral Master Archean Eon. Imperial Lord An Yang—who ranked second in Heart Sea Palace and Battle God Pagoda’s combined rankings—only reached the Essence Soul Third Tribulation realm.

Now, their son—Meng Chuan—said that he would reach the Fifth Tribulation realm soon?

“Alright, I’ll listen to you.” Meng Dajiang smiled at his son and looked at Liu Yebai. “Yebai, when do you plan on sleeping?”

“In a month. This is too sudden. I have to make arrangements,” said Liu Yebai.

Meng Dajiang nodded. “Then we shall do it in a month.”

…

A month later.

In a beautiful palace complex inside a grotto-heaven, the Millennium Instant mystic technique’s array formation had been set up in one of the palaces.

Meng Dajiang and Liu Yebai entered a slumber as they were completely frozen by the dark-blue ice.

…

After Meng Dajiang fell asleep, Bai Nianyun became even lonelier.

In just a year, Bai Nianyun came to Meng Chuan and requested to enter the slumber as well.

“Let me sleep too. This way, I’ll be able to see Dajiang when I wake up. Otherwise, it’ll be too difficult for me to live alone for 100 years.”

Meng Chuan couldn’t refuse his mother’s request. He actually understood his mother’s feelings. After Liu Qiyue fell asleep, he had been suffering alone. He also hoped to just have a good night’s sleep and see his wife awake when he opened his eyes. That would be a beautiful day. However, he was the only one who didn’t have the right to sleep. He had too many responsibilities.

“Alright.” Meng Chuan promised his mother.

His mother also entered a slumber in the palace.

…

Meng Chuan became even lonelier. His parents were slumbering. His son, Meng An, had left for the outer realm. His daughter, Meng You, also had her own family and children. However, he calmly faced all of this. With his high spiritual cultivation level, he could withstand his loneliness completely.

He focused all his attention on cultivation; his true body in the outer realm continued cultivating in the Chaos Hole’s depths.

…

In the blink of an eye, eight years had passed since his father, Meng Dajiang, and his father-in-law, Liu Yebai, began slumbering. Meng Chuan had been cultivating in the Chaos Hole’s depths for another 500-plus years.

Ancient Magus River Zone, Heaven Peak River System, deep in the Chaos Hole.

Swoosh.

Lightning flashed and transformed into a white-haired man. This white-haired man had already appeared in the Chaos Hole accretion disc. It was Meng Chuan.

The distance between the Chaos Hole’s depths and the accretion disc was counted in billions of kilometers, but Meng Chuan traversed that distance instantly.

This feeling? Is this the feeling of perfected paramount speed laws? Meng Chuan’s eyes were filled with infatuation.

Today, he had finally elevated his Infinite Saber to the perfected Heaven Earth realm. He had finally raised his Imperial Lord-level paramount technique to the perfected Heaven Earth realm. With this, Meng Chuan had also grasped the paramount speed laws.

Swoosh.

Meng Chuan used his movement technique again and immediately felt a powerful resistance acting against his body. He flew against the powerful resistance.

Everything around him turned still.

Complete stillness.

Even the light rays had stopped; the extremely tiny matter in the outer realm had also fallen silent.

“Time Stillness,” muttered Meng Chuan as he looked around.

The Chaos Hole accretion disc, the Grand Yang Star, and the Grand Yin Star’s light rays came to a halt.

Everything came to a standstill.

Only he was moving!

As a powerful lifeform, he would jump out of the time flow’s restraints when he reached light speed. At a certain speed, Meng Chuan could completely jump out of the temporal dimension and be able to travel very far at this instant in time.

Everything beyond him was still.

Therefore, Meng Chuan could easily travel hundreds of millions of kilometers or even further in an instant.

Whoosh.

After flying in a circle for billions of kilometers, Meng Chuan stopped in exhaustion. He had to resist the time flow’s restrictions constantly when he stopped time. He had to resist spacetime’s restrictions, so it greatly exhausted him. Meng Chuan couldn’t pause time for very long.

“Is this the strength of a Fifth Tribulation Eminence?” Meng Chuan whispered softly. “It’s no wonder the strength difference between Tribulation Eminences becomes greater with every realm. If I were to attempt to kill the Fourth Tribulation realm me, my former self wouldn’t even be able to see my current self before my former self was taken down.”

Although his strength had reached the Fifth Tribulation realm’s threshold in the past, it wasn’t the true Fifth Tribulation realm.

At the true Fifth Tribulation realm, one’s technique realm had to reach the Fifth Tribulation realm first. If one was a Physical Body Tribulation Eminence, one needed to fuse their insights into their body and raise their body to the corresponding level. Only when one reached a sufficiently high level in both aspects would they be able to trigger the fifth Physical tribulation.

After Meng Chuan’s Infinite Saber reached the perfected Imperial Lord realm, his technique realm could only be considered at the Fifth Tribulation realm. Only when his body reached this stage could he truly be the match of a Fifth Tribulation Eminence.

As a Fifth Tribulation realm expert, I can easily kill a Fourth Tribulation Eminence with just the Time Stillness technique. Although Patriarch Black Dragon and the other Fifth Tribulation Eminences might have taken different paths from me, they might still have terrifying void lineage or time lineage techniques.

At the Fifth Tribulation realm, all of their techniques were on par with each other.

Legend had it that there were also Fifth Tribulation Eminences that had reached the Sixth Tribulation realm in terms of technique. However, due to a lack of confidence in cultivating their bodies, they deliberately stopped at the Fifth Tribulation realm. This would also mean that they were invincible among their peers. Meng Chuan would be killed if he encountered one.

Of course, such existences were famous. Meng Chuan wouldn’t deliberately provoke them.

After reaching the Fifth Tribulation realm, I’m finally qualified to roam the outer realm freely.

As long as a Fifth Tribulation Eminence kept one of their true bodies in their homeworld, only an Eighth Tribulation Eminence could kill their true bodies across inhabited worlds. In fact, it was virtually impossible to find an Eighth Tribulation Eminence in the vast River of Spacetime. An existence like Ancestral Master Archean Eon had only encountered one in his life.

Therefore, from a life-preservation perspective, as long as a Fifth Tribulation Eminence had one body in their homeworld, they were virtually ‘unkillable.’ Therefore, even the strongest factions would treat a Fifth Tribulation Eminence seriously.

There was no need for him to become mortal enemies with a Fifth Tribulation Eminence for no reason.
