Archean Eon Art-Novel2

Chapter 698: Food

On the Chaos Turbid River’s surface was a pavilion.

The black-robed, white-haired Meng Chuan was meditating in the building. He didn’t deliberately search for forbidden creatures. Instead, he focused on cultivating and preparing for his Tribulation Transcendence. Of course, his Origins domain was large enough in the Chaos Turbid River. If a forbidden creature happened to enter his domain, he could ‘conveniently’ hunt them.

He treated it as a form of relaxation.

Sixth Tribulation forbidden creatures’ Life Cores and corpses were still relatively valuable; they could be considered resources. Ancestral Master Archean Eon had relied on years of accumulation to amass all his treasures.

Meng Chuan’s current wealth was mainly given to him by Hall Lord White Avian. What he had accumulated himself was still little; he was still poor.

Huh? Meng Chuan suddenly opened his eyes.

The Chaos Hole law was a law that was good at domains, so his Origins domain was rather large. Although Meng Chuan was heavily suppressed in the Chaos Turbid River, he could still sense his surroundings for more than five billion kilometers.

This is the first forbidden creature that I’ve encountered since I grasped the Chaos Hole law. Meng Chuan looked into the distance. Through the Chaos Turbid River, he saw a massive creature slowly advancing in the river’s depths. It was an alien beast with eight long necks and heads. Each of the alien beast’s neck and head was like a long snake. The alien beast also had four hooves and three sharp, long, and thin tails. Its three tails danced around each other like scissors.

Its aura is quite strong; it’s considered powerful among Sixth Tribulation forbidden creatures. Meng Chuan stood up and took a step forward to approach the forbidden creature.

The eight-headed alien beast swam underwater. Its eight long heads carefully observed its surroundings as it searched for prey. Only by evolving to the Seventh Tribulation realm will I truly be safe in the Chaos Turbid River.

In the Chaos Turbid River, Sixth Tribulation forbidden creatures fought and devoured each other. Occasionally, cultivators would hunt them down; their living conditions were extremely harsh.

Only by reaching the Seventh Tribulation realm would one stand at the pinnacle of the Chaos Turbid River.

Devouring Chaos creatures is too slow. If I can devour a Sixth Tribulation cultivator, it will be much more helpful. This eight-headed forbidden creature yearned to become stronger. Beyond the universe, forbidden creatures had been fighting and devouring each other since they were born. The weak were devoured, and the strong became stronger. This forbidden creature had experienced countless battles to become a Sixth Tribulation forbidden creature. Although the Chaos Turbid River was even more dangerous, it was fearless.

“This is—” The eight-headed beast suddenly saw a pair of dark eyes.

The dark eyes stared at it like an endless abyss. The forbidden creature’s consciousness rapidly sank without any resistance, and its consciousness was annihilated!

The body lost its vitality; it remained motionless as the water swirled around it.

My true body was instantly killed? 32.5 million kilometers away from the corpse, a Life Core was hidden in the river. The consciousness in this Life Core was rather alarmed. Who attacked? Is it a Seventh Tribulation Chaos creature or a cultivator?

I can’t condense a true body. Once I do, the fluctuations in my Life Core will definitely be discovered. The Chaos creature carefully hid itself. At the same time, its Life Core hid in the water as it followed the water flow and fled into the distance.

Meng Chuan was currently staring at the eight-headed alien beast’s corpse. It’s so afraid that it doesn’t dare to condense its true body?

Meng Chuan also understood that he hadn’t disguised himself this time and had ruthlessly attacked instead. Thus, he had scared off the other party.

After grasping the Chaos Hole law, Meng Chuan cultivated the Pupil of Darkness to the 72nd level. He had also cast it using his Power of Essence Soul, which was at the Seventh Tribulation realm.

Meng Chuan’s strength was much greater than before.

“Can you escape?” Meng Chuan stood beside the corpse. His Chaos Hole domain affected a 150 million-kilometer area.

Boom!

With Meng Chuan at the center, an invisible force swept across the 150 million-kilometer area. Although Meng Chuan could affect an area of more than five billion kilometers, it was unnecessary to do so when dealing with a Sixth Tribulation forbidden creature.

About 35 million kilometers away from Meng Chuan, a bang sounded.

A painting then appeared.

The Life Core was clearly a painting.

Thirty-five million kilometers? Meng Chuan glanced over. His Essence Soul mystic technique attacked the Life Core and completely destroyed the consciousness within it.

Swoosh.

With a beckon of his hand, the painting appeared in Meng Chuan’s hand. He couldn’t tell what it was made of, but it was a warm white. The painting depicted the eight-headed alien beast; every long head looked rather sinister.

I only destroyed the consciousness without destroying the Life Core. The Life Core painting is still intact. Meng Chuan looked at the painting. As time passes, a new consciousness will be born in this Life Core, and a new forbidden creature will appear. When the time comes, it will still be an eight-headed alien beast, but it will have a new consciousness and new memories. It will be considered another forbidden creature.

It was relatively easy to destroy a Sixth Tribulation forbidden creature’s Life Core.

A Seventh Tribulation forbidden creature’s Life Core was much stranger. It couldn’t be truly destroyed. According to the method passed down by Fiend Mountain’s owner, one had to seal it first before destroying its consciousness. When lacking a consciousness and in a sealed state, a Life Core couldn’t nurture a new forbidden creature.

Seal. Meng Chuan casually sealed the painting and put it away with the corpse beside him.

In the past, Meng Chuan had disguised his strength because forbidden creatures’ Life Cores would produce fluctuations when their condensed new true bodies. This made it easier to find their Life Cores.

Typically, forbidden creatures’ true bodies were relatively far from their Life Cores. Even in the Chaos Turbid River, it was possible for the two to be tens of millions of kilometers—or even hundreds of millions of kilometers—apart. If one didn’t lock onto their Life Cores, their Life Cores would escape, making it even harder to find them.

Now that he was at the Seventh Tribulation realm, Meng Chuan could easily attack and cover over five billion kilometers. According to Meng Chuan’s understanding, a Sixth Tribulation forbidden creature’s true body was, at most, hundreds of millions of kilometers away from its Life Core in the Chaos Turbid River. Therefore, he could definitely find a Life Core if he swept through the area on a large scale.

Therefore, Meng Chuan naturally had no need to disguise himself.

This Life Core is actually a painting. Meng Chuan looked at the painting. Who painted it, and why did their painting become a Life Core?

Meng Chuan had always been puzzled about a Life Core’s origins.

A Life Core could be anything. It looked like an ordinary item, but it could nurture an extremely powerful forbidden creature.

The painting is really average; I painted better than this when I was ten. Meng Chuan flipped his hand and put away the painting.

He was in a rather good mood. After all, he had made another killing.

Following that, Meng Chuan returned to the building and continued cultivating.

...

In a remote area of the Chaos Turbid River, a blurry face condensed.

Another Sixth Tribulation forbidden creature died? This face kept staring at the Chaos Turbid River.

Any powerful cultivator or powerful Chaos creature could be its food.

On its blurry face, its huge eyes reflected the scenes from the timeline. It soon locked onto the black-robed, white-haired Meng Chuan—who held the Life Core painting.

Huh? Bark was shocked. This Essence Soul Tribulation Eminence was still an Essence Soul Sixth Tribulation Eminence when I saw him the last few times. He’s now an Essence Soul Seventh Tribulation Eminence?

Bark had devoured more than ten Seventh Tribulation Chaos creatures. After coming to this universe, it had also devoured two Seventh Tribulation Eminence’s avatars. It had many strange means, so it could determine Meng Chuan’s current level of existence at a glance.

Seventh Tribulation lifeform... The last time I saw him, he was still at the Sixth Tribulation realm. He clearly broke through recently. Bark was somewhat excited. A newly-advanced Essence Soul Seventh Tribulation Eminence? That’s great. After devouring his Essence Soul, my strength will definitely increase.

Bark thought nothing of a Sixth Tribulation Eminence. However, Seventh Tribulation Eminences were extremely delicious food. Furthermore, Meng Chuan was a newly-advanced Seventh Tribulation Eminence, meaning that he had weaker resistance.

Devouring a Physical Body Seventh Tribulation Eminence was very beneficial to Bark’s body. Devouring an Essence Soul Seventh Tribulation Eminence was very beneficial to its Essence Soul. As a result, it was extremely excited.

“He’s my food.” The blurry face silently dissipated.

Deep in the Turbid River, a dark behemoth speedily rushed toward Meng Chuan. historical

As for Meng Chuan, he was focused on cultivating in the pavilion, so he didn’t notice it at all.
