Chapter 622 The Deranged Emperor

Moments later, a black wooden box appeared in a hall on Eternal Tower’s ninth floor. It slowly landed in front of Meng Chuan.

Meng Chuan stretched out his hand and grabbed it. Inside the box was a thin-skinned fruit. The flesh inside was crystalline, and it emitted a refreshing fragrance. It made Meng Chuan’s Essence Soul tremble as it gave him the urge to eat it.

A World Tree fruit. Meng Chuan nodded slightly. The fruit had many uses. It could bring a Supremacy-level lifeform closer to perfection. Extending one’s lifespan was just one of its uses. To some Eminences, using a World Tree fruit to extend a Supremacy-level lifeform’s lifespan was too wasteful. However, it was worth it for Meng Chuan.

He had obtained more than 500,000 cubes from his trip to Earth Cloud Mystic Realm. What was a little sacrifice when he could increase the Archean Eon Realm’s number of experts in this era? Meng Chuan wanted to nurture those with potential.

Whoosh.

Meng Chuan waved his hand. He took out the war spoils he had obtained in Earth Cloud Mystic Realm and began selling them through Eternal Tower. After all, most of these war spoils were useless to Archean Eon Realm. It was better to exchange them for treasures suitable for weak Godfiends, Supremacies, and Imperial Lords.

Soon, a large number of war spoils were exchanged for many treasures that were suitable for Archean Eon Realm’s growth. He even bought ten Void Transference Talismans! This was the maximum amount Meng Chuan could buy as an ordinary member.

Archean Eon Realm, Heaven and Earth Great Hall.

“Meng Chuan.” The white-robed elder appeared and smiled. “Why did you summon me?”

“It won’t be long before I transcend the tribulation,” said Meng Chuan.

The white-robed elder nodded.

“These are treasures I prepared for Archean Eon Realm. They’re worth a total of 350,000 cubes.” Meng Chuan handed a silver bracelet to the white-robed elder. With a flip of his hand, he took out a book. “The book records all the treasures in detail. Furthermore, I’ve decided to exchange for 700,000 cubes worth of items from Ancestral Master’s treasure vault. The detailed requirements for the exchange are listed on it.

“A total of 1.5 million cubes. Everything will be left to Archean Eon Realm.” Meng Chuan looked at the white-robed elder. “I’ll leave the management of everything to you. Split them according to the rules I set.”

The white-robed elder was alarmed. “You have reached the Sixth Tribulation realm and are about to transcend the tribulation. Master gave you a total of 1.3 million cubes… Are you leaving most of it to Archean Eon Realm?”

“I naturally have my own selfish motives. I’ve also made preparations for my tribulation transcendence and family’s cultivation,” said Meng Chuan with a smile. “Thankfully, I earned a lot from this trip to Earth Cloud Mystic Realm. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have left so much for Archean Eon Realm.”

The white-robed elder sighed and said, “I’ve seen many cultivators when following Master. When faced with an impending Heavenly Tribulation, those Tribulation Eminences will use every resource they have to increase their chances of transcending the tribulation. At most, they will fail the tribulation and leave their treasures to their race. However, you left over a million cubes. Over a million cubes… that is enough to increase your chances of transcending the tribulation by several-fold.”

Meng Chuan also understood this. There were all sorts of miraculous objects in the vast outer realm. They were even more mysterious than a World Tree fruit. One could buy many objects with a million cubes, increasing one’s chances of transcending the tribulation.

“A World Treasure is the greatest help. The others provide limited help. It’s not worth it,” said Meng Chuan.

The white-robed elder’s gaze landed on the book, and he instantly read it. He then sighed and said, “Archean Eon Grotto-Heaven was almost emptied. It has now been replenished with many opportunities. There are too many treasures suitable for ordinary Godfiends.” “Ancestral Master was farsighted. Treasures need to be prepared for the weak and even Tribulation Eminences,” said Meng Chuan. “Therefore, I made preparations mainly for those below the Tribulation realm.”

“Don’t worry. I’ll distribute the treasures according to your rules,” guaranteed the white-robed elder.

Meng Chuan trusted him. The Guardians left behind by the Ancestral Master could live forever, and all of them were absolutely loyal. Nobody in Archean Eon Realm was suited to control such a huge amount of wealth besides them. The Guardians were the most trustworthy.

Thousand Mountain Star.

Emperor Roc’s outer realm true body was imprisoned inside Fiend Prison. He suffered torment every day.

Oh? Emperor Roc sensed something and looked up.

A white-robed, white-haired man appeared.

“Meng Chuan.” Emperor Roc stared at Meng Chuan and sneered. “As a Fifth Tribulation Eminence, your time is precious. Why do you have the time to meet me? Are you planning on killing me?”

Meng Chuan nodded. “Yes.”

Emperor Roc was taken aback. He looked at Meng Chuan and smiled. “You want to kill a Third Tribulation Eminence with an inhabited world in the way? Aren’t you reaching beyond your means?”

Indeed, it was a fool’s dream for a Fifth Tribulation Eminence to kill a Third Tribulation Eminence with an inhabited world in the way.

Even a Sixth Tribulation Eminence only had a low chance of killing a Third Tribulation Eminence hiding in an inhabited world through the karmic connection between avatars.

An inhabited world’s obstruction was just too strong.

This was even when one had an avatar as a medium. If Meng Chuan didn’t have any blood or hair as a medium, he wouldn’t even be capable of killing Imperial Lords across worlds! For example, when he swept through Three Bay River System’s plundering factions, Meng Chuan was unable to kill the Imperial Lords, who had returned to their inhabited worlds to hide, with just their names.

“I advise you to hire a Sixth Tribulation Eminence,” said Emperor Roc with a smile. “Perhaps only by hiring a Seventh Tribulation Eminence will you have complete confidence.”

Meng Chuan walked forward and stretched out his hand.

A wound appeared on Emperor Roc’s arm, and blood flew out.

“Are you really going to attack?” Emperor Roc’s heart tightened as he looked at Meng Chuan solemnly. He naturally had intelligence on Meng Chuan. He knew that Meng Chuan wasn’t a foolhardy person. He only took action when he was prepared.

I’m currently at the Sixth Tribulation realm. I only have a sliver of hope of killing it. Meng Chuan understood this point. Therefore, he didn’t directly kill Emperor Roc’s outer realm true body. Instead, he used his blood as a medium.

With a true body’s blood as a medium, the effects were already excellent. It was just slightly inferior compared to using a true body as a medium. With blood, he could make multiple attempts without much of a problem. Meng Chuan left with Emperor Roc’s blood.

He wants to bring my blood to a Sixth Tribulation Eminence? He wants to kill me through karma? Emperor Roc was somewhat flustered.

Demon Realm, Demon Ancestral Cave.

Emperor Roc’s true body had been hiding in the Demon Ancestral Cave all these years.

The Demon Realm was a middle-level world with an extremely rich heritage. It had historically produced many Fifth Tribulation Eminences and Sixth Tribulation Eminences. They raised the Demon Realm to the limits of a middle-level world. Their cultivation system was also very perfected. The Demon Ancestral Cave was also the most important treasure land in the Demon Realm. It also had the ability to weaken karmic attacks, but it was far inferior to the Heaven and Earth Great Hall.

He’s going to attack? Emperor Roc sat cross-legged in one of the caves in Demon Ancestral Cave. He was extremely anxious. A Sixth Tribulation Eminence can’t be bothered with a Fifth Tribulation Eminence. A huge price has to be paid before a Sixth Tribulation Eminence is willing to take action. Meng Chuan is so anxious that he has finally hired a Sixth Tribulation Eminence?

Damn it. I’ve been risking my life with the Fiendish Demon Cultivation all these years. I’ve already comprehended a Fourth Tribulation law, but I haven’t perfected my Fourth Tribulation physical body formulation. When it comes to resisting karma, I’m still only at the Third Tribulation realm.

Emperor Roc panicked. One relied on their bodies and Essence Souls to resist karma. He was still at the Third Tribulation realm.

After Meng Chuan captured his outer realm true body, Meng Chuan first killed Starquix and Blackmoon, causing Emperor Roc to panic. He was worried that Meng Chuan would immediately seek the help of a Sixth Tribulation Eminence and kill him through karma. Therefore, Emperor Roc chose the craziest path-the path of a Fiendish Demon.

The path of a Fiendish Demon was the most deranged path for demons at the Tribulation realm. Furthermore, it wasn’t perfected. When cultivating, one would enter a deranged state, greatly increasing their cultivation efficiency. However, it was possible for one to go completely insane in such a state.

Emperor Roc stayed in this deranged state for more than 80 years before actually comprehending a Fourth Tribulation law. He then realized that Meng Chuan had never attempted to kill him through karma. Therefore, he temporarily stopped treading this deranged path and slowly pondered over the Fourth Tribulation physical body formulation.

Even if I were to embark on the path of derangement now, I won’t be able to perfect my physical body cultivation technique that quickly. Furthermore, if I continue cultivating the path of a Fiendish Demon, I might really go crazy. No matter how much Emperor Roc wanted to live, he didn’t want to go completely crazy. Therefore, he limited his cultivation of the Fiendish Demon path to 100 years.

Who knew that Meng Chuan would finally attack him?

It’s too late. It’s too late to cultivate. I can only rely on fate. Emperor Roc gritted his teeth and waited. Meng Chuan, as long as I survive, I definitely won’t give up.

Archean Eon Realm, inside a Seventh Tribulation World Treasure.

Rumble…

There was a huge eye in the sky. It was formed by the Eighth Tribulation treasure, Heavenly Punishment Chart. Meng Chuan looked at Emperor Roc’s blood that floated in front of him.

Annihilate.

Meng Chuan immediately controlled the Heavenly Punishment Chart’s power. A condensed golden bolt of lightning—as thick as a finger-instantly struck down. Its speed made it difficult to see with the naked eye. The golden bolt of lightning struck Emperor Roc’s blood. As it destroyed the blob of blood, it immediately reached inside an inhabited world through the karmic connection, reaching Emperor Roc, who was hiding in the Demon Realm’s Demon Ancestral Cave.

Amidst Emperor Roc’s horror, his body instantly split into numerous particles. Lightning zapped through the remaining particles, but the remaining particles condensed and materialized into Emperor Roc.

I survived! I survived! Emperor Roc was delighted and surprised.
