Chapter 555 - The Fifth Essence Soul Tribulation (1/2)

The demon invasion had brought too much harm to humanity.

Meng Chuan naturally wanted to kill Emperor Roc, Imperial Lord Starquix, and Lady Blackmoon. Among the trio, Imperial Lord Starquix and Lady Blackmoon were very easy to kill. On the contrary, Emperor Roc was the most difficult to deal with. Meng Chuan had decided on how he planned on targeting Emperor Roc.

Emperor Roc left Heaven Peak River System and returned to Three Bay River System. That took it about a year. It mainly relied on its Golden-Winged Roc bloodline. It’s very difficult to break through the limits of one’s talent. Even if it breaks through to the Fourth Tribulation realm, its speed will be at most five times faster. However, it’s now ten times faster. It’s likely that Palace Lord Snowjade is traveling with it in tow. Meng Chuan made a judgment.

I’ll continue cultivating. I’ll take action when I reach the Essence Soul Fifth Tribulation realm. Meng Chuan continued refining and modifying Thousand Mountain Star’s array formations.

His spiritual cultivation and technique realm were already adequate, but the fifth Essence Soul Tribulation never descended.

He was afraid that the Essence Soul Tribulation would descend when he was dealing with Emperor Roc or when he was in a dire situation. That would be bad.

Therefore, he had to wait!

…

Time pa.s.sed. In the blink of an eye, a year and a half had pa.s.sed since he returned to his homeworld, which was in Three Bay River System.

There were also Chaos Holes in Three Bay River System. Meng Chuan chose a super-large Chaos Hole as his long-term training ground. He wholly viewed the Chaos Hole’s influence on his mind as a form of cultivation.

Huh? Meng Chuan, who was sitting cross-legged in the Chaos Hole’s depths, suddenly sensed that a Heavenly Tribulation was about to descend in three seconds.

He immediately took a step.

Time stopped.

Meng Chuan flew rapidly at this moment. The Heavenly Tribulation paused temporarily as he quickly arrived outside the Chaos Hole.

He threw out Fiend Prison and hid inside. As for Fiend Prison, it vanished from the outside world.

Come on. Meng Chuan sat cross-legged inside Fiend Prison as time began flowing again.

After returning to his homeworld for more than a year, he cultivated in Archean Eon Realm and the Chaos Hole. Over 80 years had pa.s.sed overall. During these 80-plus years, Meng Chuan had pa.s.sed the first three Physical Body Tribulations! Each Tribulation descended one year apart—which was the shortest amount of time possible. The fourth Physical Body tribulation would happen 20 years later at the earliest.

In fact, transcending the first three Physical Body Tribulations didn’t boost Meng Chuan’s strength much.

When he was at the perfected Primordial realm (Imperial Lord realm), he was already comparable to a Fifth Tribulation Eminence. Transcending the first three tribulations in a row didn’t increase his body’s strength by much. His overall strength had increased by less than 10%.

Boom!

The fifth Essence Soul Tribulation descended.

The body in his homeworld, the Essence Soul avatars guarding the demon sage pa.s.sageway, the body in the outer realm, and the Essence Soul avatars on Thousand Mountain Star all suffered the Essence Soul Tribulation.

Meng Chuan was still confident if it were the fifth Physical Body Tribulation. This was because Physical Body Tribulations only tested one’s body! With an Imperial Lord-level paramount technique as his foundation, he could definitely withstand the fifth Physical Body Tribulation. However, Meng Chuan wasn’t confident transcending the fifth Essence Soul Tribulation.

This was because Essence Soul Tribulations tested one’s mind and spirit!

It was hard to tell whether one could pa.s.s tests of one’s mind. Even if he believed that his mind and spiritual cultivation level was sufficiently high, it didn’t mean that he could withstand the Essence Soul Tribulation.

Among Tribulation Eminences, quite a number of Essence Soul Tribulation Eminences were at the First and Second Tribulation realm. However, the further one progressed, the lower the number of Essence Soul Tribulation Eminences became. For example, about eight in ten Sixth Tribulation Eminences were Physical Body Tribulation Eminences.

The fifth Essence Soul Tribulation is descending. Meng Chuan waited. He had made ample preparations for this tribulation. He spared no expense in refining a World Treasure. World Treasures were unique to Essence Soul Tribulation Eminences.

This was because one’s Essence Soul World descended from an illusion. World Treasures could make one’s Essence Soul World more ‘real.’ With a World Treasure, one’s Essence Soul World’s might would increase by several-fold. One’s overall strength would naturally increase in all aspects.

Whoosh.

In Meng Chuan’s sea of consciousness, a painting canvas floated in the air. Meng Chuan’s Essence Soul sat cross-legged on the canvas.

This painting canvas was a World Treasure.

Boom!

The Essence Soul Tribulation descended upon Meng Chuan’s Essence Soul directly.

The painting canvas was one with Meng Chuan’s Essence Soul. It also blocked the Essence Soul Tribulation, reducing its might.

…

Archean Mountain, Grotto-Heaven Pavilion.

“Meng Chuan, Meng Chuan.” Qin Wu came to the backyard in delight, but he didn’t see Meng Chuan. This puzzled Qin Wu. Where is he?

Creak.

A door in the distance opened, and Meng Chuan walked out.
