Chapter 706: City Lord Eastcalm and Black Fiend Hall Master

Meng Chuan observed the handsome man in front of him. He was the most handsome of the current Seventh Tribulation Eminences in existence, and his life aura had a natural charm to it. Anyone who saw him couldn’t help but have a good impression of him.

Having reached the Essence Soul Seventh Tribulation realm, Meng Chuan could even see the tremendous blood-colored sin on his body at a glance, but he was still affected. He instinctively had a good impression of this man.

Even though the blood-colored sin enveloped him, Lord of Li Rainbow seemed to be immaculate amidst his sin.

Why is it so strange? He has clearly committed the most heinous sins in the River of Spacetime, but even I’m affected and have a good impression of him? Meng Chuan could clearly sense that he had been affected. He became even warier. As expected of the most terrifying devil that has ruled Black Fiend Hall for over 100,000 years.

Meng Chuan was very surprised to see Black Fiend Hall Master.

However, Lord of Li Rainbow’s emotions were even more complicated. He originally wanted to attack, but all his plans were nullified when he saw that Meng Chuan was an Essence Soul Seventh Tribulation Eminence.

“Eastcalm, you were still at the peak of the Sixth Tribulation realm a few years ago. In the blink of an eye, you are already at the Seventh Tribulation realm.” Lord of Li Rainbow didn’t appear flustered at all. The charm in his smile went up a few notches. “As the fourth Essence Soul Seventh Tribulation Eminence of this era, you are truly impressive!”

“Did the mighty Black Fiend Hall Master just come here to praise me?” questioned Meng Chuan coldly.

“I have no ill intentions,” said Lord of Li Rainbow with a friendly smile.

“You don’t have any ill intentions?” Meng Chuan looked at him. “Black Fiend Hall Master, you called me out from hundreds of millions of kilometers away just moments ago. Your voice resounded throughout Thousand Mountain Star. All life on Thousand Mountain Star heard your voice, and it instilled panic. Yet, you are now telling me that you don’t have any ill intentions?”

Lord of Li Rainbow shook his head gently. “I won’t lie. I came here on behalf of my Black Fiend Hall’s Fiend Lord Fire Cloud. He didn’t offend you, and he even tried to curry favor with you. Yet, you killed his outer realm true body. Isn’t this an act of bullying against my Black Fiend Hall? Therefore, I came to see who had this audacity.

“This gave me the opportunity to realize that you have already become an Essence Soul Seventh Tribulation Eminence. Since it was an Essence Soul Seventh Tribulation Eminence that took action, killing a Sixth Tribulation Eminence is naturally nothing.”

…

A wrinkled old farmer sat under a fruit tree and chewed on a fruit. He looked toward Thousand Mountain Star and watched Meng Chuan and Black Fiend Hall Master.

To him, among the cultivators he needed to guard against in the entirety of the River of Spacetime, Meng Chuan was qualified to be ranked second. Black Fiend Hall Master had a special status in the old farmer’s heart. Now that the two of them had met, the old farmer naturally watched from afar.

Lord of Li Rainbow is very good at enduring. The old farmer gnawed on a fruit and smiled. Back then, he endured all the pressure I exerted on him, and he even apologized to me with gifts.

Black Fiend Hall Master had risen to power early. He had been at the Seventh Tribulation realm for more than 100,000 years, and he had long stood at the top of the River of Spacetime. When he reached the Seventh Tribulation realm, Celestial Thearch Myriad Star and Hall Lord White Avian had yet to be born.

When Celestial Thearch Myriad Star was at the Sixth Tribulation realm, he was rather talented. He had also received the nurturing of his seniors like Realm Ancestor and Manor Lord Centaurea. He also came across a huge opportunity.

Black Fiend Hall Master treated Seventh Tribulation Eminences at the same level gently and patiently, but he was ruthless towards the weak. Back then, he had sent a peak Sixth Tribulation Eminence to plunder Celestial Thearch Myriad Star and snatched a huge opportunity from him.

From then on, the two sides became enemies.

After Celestial Thearch Myriad Star became a Seventh Tribulation Eminence, the relationship between the two parties remained very strained. After Celestial Thearch Myriad Star became a half-step Eighth Tribulation Eminence, he exerted pressure on Black Fiend Hall Master in every aspect…

Yet, Lord of Li Rainbow didn’t counterattack at all. Logically speaking, as a Seventh Tribulation Eminence, he could hide his true body in his homeworld. His outer realm true body could also hide in Black Fiend Hall’s headquarters. If he was really forced into a corner, so what if he turned hostile? Didn’t Origin Realm Chieftain have White Avian Hall and Six Directions Heaven as enemies? Even so, Lord of Li Rainbow endured it and even came forward to make reparations…

Facing a Seventh Tribulation Eminence who didn’t fight back no matter how much he was bullied and who made reparations, Celestial Thearch Myriad Star stopped after squeezing out most of Lord of Li Rainbow’s wealth.

…

Meng Chuan has reached the Seventh Tribulation realm? Fiend Eye had been paying close attention to Meng Chuan; he was prepared to form good karma with Meng Chuan at any moment.

Therefore, when he sensed Meng Chuan and Black Fiend Hall Master together, he immediately looked through spacetime and prepared to help. Only then did he discover that Meng Chuan had reached the Essence Soul Seventh Tribulation realm.

In recent years, Meng Chuan has been staying in White Avian Hall and cultivating in the Chaos Turbid River, so I couldn’t even spy on him. Who knew that he would reach the Essence Soul Seventh Tribulation realm already? Guild Master Fiend Eye was astonished.

The Chaos Turbid River’s environment was so special that he couldn’t spy on it. As for White Avian Hall’s headquarters, he only knew that Meng Chuan was there. Likewise, he couldn’t pry inside.

He hadn’t paid attention for decades, but now that he did, he realized that Meng Chuan had reached the Essence Soul Seventh Tribulation realm.

Tsk, tsk. With Meng Chuan’s personality, he definitely hates Black Fiend Hall. Black Fiend Hall Master will probably suffer this time. Fiend Eye watched in delight.

Guild Master Fiend Eye was ruthless and fiendish; he only cared about interests, and even his subordinates were afraid of him. The other Seventh Tribulation Eminences were also afraid of him. However, he thought nothing of the countless weak cultivators in the River of Spacetime.

Black Fiend Hall Master was the complete opposite. He had an astonishing affinity with people. His subordinates respected and trusted him. He befriended Seventh Tribulation Eminences and wouldn’t easily make them his enemies. However, he was cruel and heartless towards the weak.

Through Black Fiend Hall, he wantonly slaughtered countless weaklings. The members of Black Fiend Hall had to hand over the benefits at every level, so this resulted in a large number of resources reaching his hands.

Weak cultivators might have very few treasures, but when accumulated across the River of Spacetime, the amount that reached him was astonishing.

…

Black Fiend Hall Master went to Thousand Mountain Star? White Avian Hall was Meng Chuan’s faction, so Hall Lord Azure Dragon immediately paid attention to this matter.

“Lord of Li Rainbow and City Lord Eastcalm? After Lord of Shadowfiend became a Seventh Tribulation Eminence, he became White Avian Hall’s main combat strength. He naturally paid attention from afar so that he could help one of his own.

An Essence Soul Seventh Tribulation Eminence?

Hall Lord Azure Dragon and Lord of Shadowfiend discovered this point. They were both surprised and delighted. They were pleasantly surprised that White Avian Hall’s strength had increased greatly—they now had an Essence Soul Seventh Tribulation general.

“Hall Lord, Eastcalm has reached the Essence Soul Seventh Tribulation realm.” Lord of Shadowfiend immediately sent a voice transmission to Hall Lord White Avian.

“I knew about it long ago. However, Eastcalm hasn’t transcended the tribulation, so I didn’t announce it,” replied Hall Lord White Avian.

“He hasn’t transcended the tribulation yet?” Lord of Shadowfiend came to a realization—it was still too early for them to be happy. “Should we interfere in this matter that involves Lord of Li Rainbow?”

“Eastcalm is capable of dealing with anything. We will interfere when our interference is required,” said Hall Lord White Avian. “But with my understanding of Lord of Li Rainbow, he’s highly tolerant! Eastcalm is also an Essence Soul Seventh Tribulation Eminence, so Lord of Li Rainbow will definitely try his best to soothe things over and endure.”

Lord of Shadowfiend smiled as well. “I’m afraid that Eastcalm will suffer.”

Lord of Li Rainbow was sinister and tolerant. He also controlled Black Fiend Hall—Black Fiend Hall was on the same level as Eternal Tower. Being tolerant didn’t mean that the means available to Lord of Li Rainbow were weak. His means were so ruthless that many Seventh Tribulation Eminences feared him. None of them wanted to fight him.

“It’s not that easy to suffer losses at the Essence Soul Seventh Tribulation realm,” said Hall Lord White Avian. “If he really suffers, there’s still us.”

“Okay.” Lord of Shadowfiend watched from afar as a smile appeared on his face. Since White Avian Hall now had an Essence Soul Seventh Tribulation Eminence, he felt much more relaxed when dealing with Celestial Thearch Myriad Star’s threat.

…

He has reached the Seventh Tribulation realm? Guild Master Darkstar—who had a grudge with Meng Chuan—also paid attention to Black Fiend Hall Master and Meng Chuan’s encounter. He was shocked by what he saw. He has reached the Essence Soul Seventh Tribulation realm so quickly?

My luck hasn’t been good recently, thought Guild Master Darkstar. I have to be careful.

Guild Master Darkstar wasn’t afraid. What could an Essence Soul Seventh Tribulation Eminence do to him? The only people he was afraid of were the two half-step Eighth Tribulation Eminences.

…

In the beginning, only Celestial Thearch Myriad Star, Guild Master Fiend Eye, Hall Master Azure Dragon, Lord of Shadowfiend, Guild Master Darkstar, and a few others paid attention to Meng Chuan’s encounter with Black Fiend Hall Master. But as the explosive news of Meng Chuan reaching the Essence Soul Seventh Tribulation realm spread, more Seventh Tribulation Eminences began to pay close attention.

Even Realm Ancestor learned of the news.

The birth of an Essence Soul Seventh Tribulation Eminence was shocking. An Essence Soul Seventh Tribulation Eminence had a huge impact on the River of Spacetime.

All Seventh Tribulation Eminences are paying attention to us? Through his Origins domain, Meng Chuan could sense some people distantly spying through spacetime. Meng Chuan couldn’t sense Hall Lord White Avian and Celestial Thearch Myriad Star—both had completely grasped time and space. However, the other Seventh Tribulation Eminences’ spying would still leave traces within his Origins domain.

From all over the River of Spacetime, Meng Chuan could sense 35 pairs of prying eyes! Among them were likely Seventh Tribulation Eminences and half-step Seventh Tribulation Eminences.

Lord of Li Rainbow could also sense the prying eyes in the distant spacetime.

“As an Essence Soul Seventh Tribulation Eminence, killing a Sixth Tribulation Eminence from Black Fiend Hall isn’t worth mentioning?” Meng Chuan looked at him. “What if I hadn’t broken through and was still a peak Sixth Tribulation Eminence?”

“Life in the River of Spacetime is divided into different levels,” explained Lord of Li Rainbow with a smile. “A Sixth Tribulation Eminence who dares to kill a member of my Black Fiend Hall will naturally have to pay the price. Things are naturally different for a Seventh Tribulation Eminence. Fiend Lord Fire Cloud deserved death for offending you.”

Meng Chuan nodded. “I understand. If I were still at the peak of the Sixth Tribulation realm today, I would have to pay a sufficient price.”

Lord of Li Rainbow frowned slightly. I’m trying to ease the tension, but Meng Chuan is deliberately being provocative.

“Sixth Tribulation Eminences have to pay the price. This is a rule,” said Lord of Li Rainbow with a frown.

“As an Essence Soul avatar, I won’t feel the pinch even if it’s destroyed. It’s not much of a price.” Meng Chuan looked at Lord of Li Rainbow. “So what price did you want me to pay, considering how you, Black Fiend Hall Master, came here with great fanfare?”

“There’s no need to elaborate on what wasn’t done, right?” Lord of Li Rainbow smiled slightly. His smile could charm one’s willpower. If one didn’t have any enmity with him, their relationship with him would usually ease.

“Of course, it needs to be elaborated on.” Meng Chuan stared at him. “You came here with great fanfare to provoke me. You wanted to punish me and make me pay the price. Now that you realize I’m strong, you want to pretend that nothing happened? How can there be such a good deal?”

Lord of Li Rainbow looked at Meng Chuan, and his expression sank. “Meng Chuan, I’ve already given you face.”

“Face? You are Black Fiend Hall’s leader, a great devil with the greatest sins in the River of Spacetime. You want to talk about face with me?” said Meng Chuan. “A devil like you has never had any face in my books.”

Lord of Li Rainbow’s expression was extremely grim.

He could tolerate it, but only the two half-step Eighth Tribulation Eminences could make him tolerate such a snub.

Furthermore, Lord of Li Rainbow hadn’t forgotten the humiliation Celestial Thearch Myriad Star had exacted on him back then. He had been aggrieved for too long. He didn’t want to tolerate it any longer after he grasped the spacetime law of the past, present, and future and reached the final bottleneck. He felt that some stimulation would give him a greater chance of breaking through the bottleneck and grasping the temporal law.

When that happened, he would be a new half-step Eighth Tribulation Eminence in the entire River of Spacetime!

“You are provoking me.” Lord of Li Rainbow looked at Meng Chuan. “I advise you to get a hold of yourself. You are only a newly-advanced Seventh Tribulation Eminence.”

“You finally can’t tolerate it?” Meng Chuan scoffed. “Then, try my means as a new Seventh Tribulation Eminence.”

With that said, Meng Chuan extended his hand. A dark, huge palm appeared and struck Lord of Li Rainbow.

When Lord of Li Rainbow saw this, a bloody glow flashed in his eyes. He showed his killing intent for the first time. “It looks like I’ve been keeping a low profile for too long.”
