Chapter 565: Meng Chuan and Palace Lord Snowjade

Soon, Meng Chuan and Snowjade stood in the array formation.

Only the victor of this round could reach the end of this expedition.

Palace Lord Snowjade was dressed in a light-blue robe. There were faint blue patterns on his face, and his eyes were like dark-blue jade as he stared at Meng Chuan. His gaze was extremely oppressive. However, Meng Chuan’s eyes were very calm. He knew the least about this cave abode. His main goal for coming here was capturing Emperor Roc. Now that he had achieved his goal, the cave abode treasures were just an additional surprise.

Ta Gu and Old Fiend Black Wind were observing Meng Chuan from a distant corner.

Although Goddess River Zone was vast, almost all Fifth Tribulation Eminences were famous. As for the white-haired man, Eastcalm, he was unheard of. They had never heard of him before.

“I’ve never heard of an Essence Soul Fifth Tribulation Eminence grasping two Fifth Tribulation laws,” Ta Gu whispered.

“He must have stepped into the Fifth Tribulation realm for a long time if he has grasped two Fifth Tribulation laws,” said Black Wind. “I’ve never heard of him before. He probably comes from a distant river zone.”

…

Whoosh!

A painting appeared behind Meng Chuan. The painting unfurled and instantly enveloped the entire array formation.

Palace Lord Snowjade’s ice domain resisted the Essence Soul World, but the Essence Soul World’s remnant might still pressed down on his body. The terrifying pressure could even crush a star. As for Palace Lord Snowjade, the layer of ice over his body easily withstood the pressure.

“I never expected our Three Bay River System to produce another Fifth Tribulation Eminence. Furthermore, you have cultivated to such a realm,” said Snowjade indifferently. “I heard from Emperor Roc that you are only a newly-advanced Fifth Tribulation Eminence. To my surprise, you have grasped two Fifth Tribulation laws. Have you obtained Ancestral Master Archean Eon’s opportunities and entered a mystic realm? Have you been cultivating for a long time?”

Meng Chuan smiled. “That golden roc told you quite a lot.”

Snowjade’s eyes narrowed slightly.

He had cultivated from a low-level world to this day. For the sake of a fortuitous encounter, he had to risk his life and suffer countless hardships to attain his present achievements. As for Meng Chuan and Ta Gu—who had obtained the benefits left behind by their ancestors—they could easily obtain a large number of treasures and opportunities from the treasures left behind by their ancestors once they reached the Fifth Tribulation realm! Snowjade naturally found it unfair. He felt that Meng Chuan and Ta Gu’s accomplishments would be far inferior to his given the same conditions.

However, he had forgotten that the predecessors of medium-sized and high-level worlds had to go through a lot to obtain such a rich heritage.

For example, it was extremely difficult for Ancestral Master Archean Eon to cultivate to become a Seventh Tribulation Eminence from a low-level world. Only with all his achievements in life could he provide some help to his juniors. However, his juniors still needed to rely on themselves to achieve great accomplishments in the end. After more than one million years, not a single Fourth Tribulation Eminence had been born in Archean Eon Realm before Meng Chuan.

Under the threat of the demons, Meng Chuan had reached the Fifth Tribulation realm in a short period of time. He was already stunning. If he was weaker, he would probably have died before he grew in strength.

Boom!

Snowjade suddenly moved.

Crackle!

Lightning appeared around Meng Chuan. His speed instantly changed as he maintained a 30-fold faster time flow around him. It was clear that Snowjade had a greater influence on spacetime.

Meng Chuan’s movement technique was naturally astonishing when affected by the 30-fold faster time flow.

One of them wanted to close in, while the other dodged.

As he dodged, Meng Chuan was surprised to discover that Snowjade had been chasing after him.

He had the advantage of time. If he didn’t have the advantage of time, his opponent would have easily gotten close to him.

Even while suppressed by my Essence Soul World, he can instantly appear anywhere within the array formation. What a powerful void technique.

Go. Bloodblades circled Meng Chuan before transforming into black beams. There were 36 of them.

Snowjade’s pupils constricted. In a flash, he was thousands of kilometers away. However, a black light beam still appeared near him.

Bam!

Snowjade gently flicked his glove-wearing palm. The black light beam and palm collided and produced a bassy sound. Snowjade frowned slightly, but he deliberately didn’t block the second black light beam, allowing it to strike him.

Chi—

The ice layer on Snowjade’s body contained miniature voids. The protective ice layer contained hundreds of millions of miniature voids. When the black light beam struck the ice layer, it cleaved open a tiny void… After splitting the ice layer completely, the black light beam struck the light-blue robe.

Snowjade’s robe caved in slightly as the terrifying might seeped into his body. His body could fully withstand the impact.

What? Meng Chuan discovered that his saber—Saber of Nirvana—beam had failed to cause any real damage to Snowjade.

Snowjade’s defensive means—resulting from the combination of two Fifth Tribulation laws—were clearly powerful enough.

“Impressive. Do you dare to withstand 36 strikes?” Meng Chuan smiled as 36 black light beams attacked Snowjade.

“Humph.” Snowjade snorted coldly. Did he think he was that stupid? He only wanted to test the strength of Meng Chuan’s strike.

The 36 black light beams struck Snowjade’s body simultaneously. With the combined might, even he would be severely injured.

Palace Lord Snowjade’s figure was like a ghost as he constantly flickered in and out of the array formation’s range. With his movement technique, only a maximum of five of the 36 Bloodblades could strike him simultaneously, even when affected by the 30-fold faster time flow. With his defensive means, the Bloodblade Disc posed little threat to him.

It was also because Meng Chuan had just broken through. His fusion of the two Fifth Tribulation laws was still too crude.

Palace Lord Snowjade was slightly stronger. He had combined his two Fifth Tribulation laws more ingeniously. Be it in defense or offense, it was better than Meng Chuan’s.

Suppress! Snowjade used his trump card.

Absolute Cold combined with Void Territory!

Frost appeared in the 5,000-kilometer-wide array formation. Everything froze completely.

Meng Chuan felt a terrifying coldness affecting his body.

Everything froze, turning everything still.

This move was extremely powerful. Even if an ordinary Fifth Tribulation Eminence could move, their speed would be greatly reduced. However, Meng Chuan’s Essence Soul World—which was aided by a World Treasure—blocked most of the killer move’s might. The remaining strength was much lesser.

Even with his Essence Soul World weakening my attack, his weak body will probably slow down greatly. Palace Lord Snowjade flashed and approached Meng Chuan. He wanted to impale Meng Chuan’s head with his saber. “It’s over!”

Meng Chuan looked at him and didn’t dodge.

Boom!

A black Magic Awl flew out from Meng Chuan’s side and instantly struck Snowjade.

Magic Awl Forbidden Spell!

The Magic Awl—which was condensed with 30% of his Essence Soul Origins—was terrifyingly fast. There was no way to dodge it as it stabbed into Snowjade’s body.

Snowjade’s body trembled as his eyes widened!

Mortals, even Supremacies and Imperial Lords, could not block Essence Soul attacks with their bodies.

However, Physical Body Tribulation Eminences had long cultivated their bodies to perfection. One characteristic of a perfected body was that they could block Essence Soul attacks! The stronger one’s body was, the stronger their resistance to Essence Soul attacks would be. For example, even an Essence Soul Seventh Tribulation Eminence’s mystic technique could not crack Ancestral Master Archean Eon’s physical defense.

However, Essence Soul Tribulation Eminences focused more on one specific aspect—will impact!

The forbidden creature’s blood-colored vertical eye—which could make Snowjade and Black Wind freeze for a few seconds with a single glance—was a pure attack on one’s will.

“Ah.” Snowjade felt a boom inside his body. The terrifying impact on his will caused his consciousness to turn chaotic. He could only divert a small portion of his attention to deal with the battle outside.

Whoosh!

The black Magic Awl dissipated into countless points of light. Under the Essence Soul Star’s guidance, almost all the points of light returned to Meng Chuan’s Essence Soul.

With a thought, Meng Chuan condensed another Magic Awl.

After reaching the Essence Soul Fifth Tribulation realm, the indestructible characteristic of an Essence Soul became even more obvious. After cultivating the Essence Soul Star, moves like Starlight were considered normal moves. He could instantly recover from losing 30% of his Essence Soul Origins. In comparison, Starlight was inferior to the Magic Awl Forbidden Spell.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The Magic Awl struck Snowjade’s body repeatedly. Even with his body blocking the attacks, they still struck his will and consciousness.

It was like a sledgehammer smashing down.

The Magic Awl repeatedly shattered before condensing again and again as it struck out continuously!

With the Essence Soul Star’s recovery speed coupled with the Magic Awl’s might, Meng Chuan’s attack on Snowjade’s consciousness was extremely powerful.

What’s going on? Palace Lord Snowjade felt his head buzzing. He could only use a small portion of his mental strength to deal with the battle in the outside world. He could only unleash 30% of his full strength.

“This is…” Ta Gu and Old Fiend Black Wind were astonished when they saw this scene from afar. They could see the Essence Soul weapon, Magic Awl, fly out from Meng Chuan’s body and attack Snowjade repeatedly.

In the blink of an eye, Meng Chuan’s Magic Awl attacked more than ten times.

Snowjade’s movement speed slowed down.

It’s an Essence Soul attack at the Essence Soul Tribulation realm. Ta Gu’s pupils constricted. Palace Lord Snowjade’s will is within his body, giving him an advantage. His body has the ability to block it. As for Eastcalm’s will impact, it relies on an Essence Soul weapon. How can it reduce Snowjade’s strength greatly?

Even with his body blocking it, he can’t withstand the will impact caused by Eastcalm’s Essence Soul weapon? Black Wind was also alarmed. It was very rare to see such a scene when peers at the same level fought.
