Chapter 564: Old Fiend Black Wind

Old Fiend Black Wind looked at Meng Chuan carefully. No matter who he faced, he wasn’t careless. He would still be careful even if he were dealing with a Fourth Tribulation Eminence, much less someone at the Fifth Tribulation realm.

A long, long time ago…

When he was still at the Fourth Tribulation realm, he could be said to be invincible among his peers. Furthermore, with his ferocious personality, he thought nothing about opponents at the same level. However, this led to him suffering a terrible defeat.

The price he paid was immense, but it taught him a lesson he would never forget.

Although he still addressed himself as Old Fiend Black Wind, he was on good terms with everyone. He didn’t easily offend cultivators of the same level. He focused more on his cultivation.

I believe I’ve accumulated enough insights after cultivating for more than 30,000 years. Black Wind felt mixed emotions. However, Snowjade, who is much younger than me, is now one step ahead of me. He has already grasped two Fifth Tribulation laws. Compared to Snowjade and company, my talent is still lacking. I need to focus on my cultivation even more.

Black Wind stared at Meng Chuan. Now, I should fight Eastcalm with all my strength and defeat him.

…

Meng Chuan stood in the array formation. There was a string of beads on his left wrist. It was a Seventh Tribulation treasure from Ancestral Master Archean Eon’s treasure vault that suited him best—Thirteen Universe Beads.

Boom!

A painting unfolded behind Meng Chuan. In the blink of an eye, it enveloped the entire array formation. This painting was a World Treasure. The Essence Soul World’s powers were even more terrifying with the World Treasure as its medium.

In fact, Meng Chuan would be at a disadvantage if the cave was only 5,000 kilometers wide. As an Essence Soul Tribulation Eminence, his Essence Soul World could cover millions of kilometers. As for Physical Body Tribulation Eminences, they hoped to close the distance when fighting Essence Soul Tribulation Eminences.

Huh? Meng Chuan’s Essence Soul World suppressed his opponent’s various aspects.

Black Wind felt the powerful suppression and determined Meng Chuan’s realm. Essence Soul Fifth Tribulation realm. Black Wind was very certain of this. He didn’t hesitate to move.

He transformed into a blur and attacked Meng Chuan.

Crackle!

Lightning flashed around Meng Chuan. He was about to jump out of the confines of time to achieve Time Stillness’s effects.

A fish would leave ripples as it swam across the water. The larger the fish was, the greater the disturbance in the water.

Tribulation realm experts were fish, and spacetime was the water.

The stronger a Tribulation Eminence was, the more terrifying the effects on spacetime would be. It was 1,000 times more difficult for Meng Chuan to jump out of time’s confines around an expert. Even accelerating the time flow became very difficult.

A Sixth Tribulation Eminence could simply look over, and it would be pretty good if Meng Chuan could still accelerate the time flow to gain an advantage.

If it were a Seventh Tribulation Eminence, one glance from such an expert would collapse the spacetime around Meng Chuan. His body would be annihilated.

I’m unable to jump out of time’s confines due to a nearby Fifth Tribulation Eminence’s influence. Meng Chuan realized this. I can only maintain a 50-fold faster time flow.

The flow of time was relative.

Three seconds for Old Fiend Black Wind was 150 seconds for Meng Chuan. Due to this, he naturally had a huge advantage in battle.

What? Old Fiend Black Wind instantly lunged at Meng Chuan, but he discovered that Meng Chuan had easily fled thousands of kilometers away. This made Old Demon Black Wind immediately sense the accelerated time flow around Meng Chuan. The time flow around is 50-fold faster? I won’t be able to catch up to him then!

“That fast?”

“This time flow acceleration…”

Even Ta Gu and Snowjade, who were watching from afar, were slightly shocked.

It was already very good if a Fifth Tribulation Eminence could gain a temporal acceleration advantage. However, Meng Chuan had a 50-fold temporal acceleration advantage. This meant that he was extremely powerful in this aspect.

From the looks of it, the formulation he cultivates focuses on the time lineage. Although he will gain a huge advantage in a certain aspect when focusing on it, he will be weaker in other aspects.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The surging black wind swept across the entire array formation.

My Black Wind Body can vary in size. It can easily fill the entire array formation. Let’s see where you can hide. The chaotic black wind rapidly spread out. It spread across a 500-kilometer area before covering a 1,500-kilometer area rapidly.

Meng Chuan waved his hand. “Go.”

Bloodblades flew out.

Every Bloodblade rapidly accelerated to light speed. Combined with the temporal acceleration, their speed was even more terrifying.

All of them were extremely dazzling. The Bloodblades—which were moving at light speed—were extremely terrifying.

Infinite Saber!

“Die!” The surging black wind condensed into arms.

Every black wind arm held a weapon. There were spikes, sabers, swords, spears, whips… All sorts of weapons attacked Meng Chuan at the same time. Black Wind didn’t bother blocking the Bloodblades at all.

Rip!

Bloodblades tore through the black wind and struck the void. The wind dissipated, but the Bloodblades failed to injure Black Wind a single bit.

Instead, Black Wind’s weapons constantly attacked Meng Chuan, while the black wind surrounded Meng Chuan and attacked him as well.

I lack strength when I’m only using paramount speed laws. If I encounter a Fifth Tribulation Eminence with strong life-preservation means, I won’t be able to injure him at all. Meng Chuan made a judgment. However, my 50-fold temporal acceleration advantage is already very great.

Old Fiend Black Wind is very experienced. He has grasped a Fifth Tribulation law and is also using several Fourth Tribulation laws in conjunction. Meng Chuan only relied on his Essence Soul World’s suppression and temporal acceleration to dodge the weapons’ attacks.

“Trying to flee?” Black Wind was originally good at speed, but he immediately roared when he encountered the even more slippery Meng Chuan.

Invisible waves came with the roar. These invisible waves spread throughout the array formation and attacked Meng Chuan.

Let’s end this. Meng Chuan realized that he couldn’t defeat Old Fiend Black Wind with Infinite Saber alone. He wasn’t confident in killing his opponent with Infinite Saber alone unless he used the Thirteen Universe Beads—a Seventh Tribulation treasure. However, the Bloodblade Disc was a Sixth Tribulation treasure. Furthermore, it was Meng Chuan’s intrinsic treasure. Just the Bloodblade Disc alone was enough to deal with enemies. Only if it were a special situation would he use the Thirteen Universe Beads.

After experimenting with Infinite Saber during his first battle with a Fifth Tribulation Eminence, Meng Chuan brought out the big guns.

Boom!

The Bloodblades surrounding Meng Chuan suddenly changed.

He maintained the 50-fold faster time flow as the Bloodblades instantly gathered terrifying might. The infinite might fused together, forming a destructive force. This destructive force—Power of Annihilation—then condensed into black light beams.

Several black light beams appeared!

This is… Snowjade, who was watching from the side, originally felt that everything was within expectations. However, Snowjade instinctively felt fear when the Bloodblades transformed into the black light beams…

The black light beams’ annihilative properties were terrifying. It contained greater power than when the Bloodblades were moving at light speed.

This Essence Soul Tribulation Eminence named Eastcalm has grasped two Fifth Tribulation laws? Ta Gu was alarmed as well. Snowjade is stronger than me; Eastcalm is also stronger than me. However, I can obtain a treasure simply by coming to this cave. My goal has been achieved.

…

Oh? Black Wind also sensed that something was amiss. He instinctively used his weapons to block the black light beams.

Clang!

A saber and a spear were flung far away.

When they exchanged blows, Black Wind couldn’t even hold his weapons firmly. From this, one could tell how terrifying the black light beams were.

Apart from the saber and spear, none of the other weapons were able to block the black light beams. In fact, the black light beams’ had average speed and average agility. However, the black light beams became much faster when influenced by the 50-fold faster time flow. They became difficult to block or dodge.

Chi!

The Bloodblades flew through the black wind in the form of black light beams, covering the entire array formation.

Every spot the black light beams swept across erased the black wind.

Not good.

The black winds instantly gathered and converged into Old Demon Black Wind’s original appearance. However, he now had eight arms and a weapon in each hand. After his body shrank, his defense became even more perfect.

The black light beams were simply too fast when affected by the 50-fold faster time flow.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

Black Wind’s weapons were sent flying one after another. Black Wind revealed a look of disbelief. I can’t even defend against this? Following that, multiple black light beams penetrated his body.

“I admit defeat,” said Black Wind loudly.

He was out of options. The already powerful Saber of Nirvana naturally changed qualitatively once affected by a 50-fold faster time flow. Meng Chuan completely crushed Old Fiend Black Wind. All Black Wind could do was take a beating.

I have the confidence to stay alive when facing Snowjade and Ta Gu. But my movement speed—which is what I’m best at—is restrained by Eastcalm. I’m afraid that my Black Wind Body will be destroyed in a moment. He really restrains me the most. Black Wind realized this. Logically speaking, he had cultivated for more than 30,000 years and had many means available to him. However, this mysterious, white-haired Eastcalm was his greatest nemesis.

I won. There’s only one opponent left. Meng Chuan looked at Snowjade.
