novelAbove the Turbid River
| ← Ch.690 | Ch.692 → |
Meng Chuan felt his surroundings change, and he found himself standing on the vast water surface.
The water was turbid. He couldn't even see one foot underwater.
The water surface was infinitely long and wide! From Meng Chuan's point of view, the Chaos Turbid River was more suitable to be called 'Chaos Turbid Sea. '
I'm only at the peak of the Sixth Tribulation realm now, so I can't see its full appearance. If I reach the Eighth Tribulation realm, I might understand why it's called a river. Just like how Tribulation Eminences felt that the River of Spacetime was boundless, Meng Chuan could sense the entire River of Spacetime with the help of a rare treasure—the Spacetime Token. He also understood that it was indeed in the shape of a river.
This Chaos Turbid River connected the interior and exterior of the universe. Chaos creatures outside the universe were drawn in, never to leave. The Chaos Turbid River itself was naturally mysterious.
The sky above is illusory. Meng Chuan looked up and found the sky gloomy and depressing. According to the intelligence, I'll be in the Chaos Turbid River if I fly half a billion kilometers up. If I fly downwards, pass through the entire Chaos Turbid River, and continue down... I'll still be in the Chaos Turbid River if I fly half a billion kilometers.
Meng Chuan knew.
No matter where he went, he would forever be in the Chaos Turbid River's range. He would never find its end.
Therefore, weaker Sixth Tribulation and the stronger Seventh Tribulation forbidden creatures were forever trapped here.
Whoosh.
Meng Chuan tried to fly up. After leaving the water surface, he felt an invisible force pulling at him, hoisting him up.
With a thought, he teleported 50 million kilometers upwards.
Boom!
The drag force on the vast lake below was terrifying. Meng Chuan's body was sheared by the forces and collapsed. He quickly plummeted at high speeds.
Only when his body collapsed did he stabilize.
Only by touching the water surface can flying be the easiest. Meng Chuan landed on the water and walked on it.
Using the spatial law, I can sense a range of 50 million kilometers. The maximum distance I can teleport is also 50 million kilometers. Meng Chuan had long expected this. The intelligence reports were very accurate.
Usually, he could travel from one end of a river zone to the other in a single step. However, he could only teleport 50 million kilometers in the Chaos Turbid River that trapped forbidden creatures. If an ordinary Sixth Tribulation Eminence entered, it would be difficult for them to sense a range of 5, 000 kilometers!
I'll search for prey. Meng Chuan instantly split into three Essence Soul avatars.
The three black-robed, white-haired Meng Chuans flew in different directions.
...
Searching for forbidden creatures in the Chaos Turbid River required some luck. This was because the area was too vast. Be it cultivators or forbidden creatures, their perception range was limited. Therefore, Meng Chuan arranged for his three Essence Soul avatars to search separately.
The second day after Meng Chuan arrived at the Chaos Turbid River.
Boom!
One of Meng Chuan's Essence Soul avatars approached the water surface and transformed into a bolt of lightning that flew at high speeds.
Below, in the depths of Chaos Turbid River, a distance about 500, 000 kilometers away from Meng Chuan.
A faint black shadow slowly floated up. This black shadow spanned more than 500 kilometers. A huge eye in the black shadow stared at Meng Chuan, who was flying above the water.
It slowly floated up, but when it floated up, it would occasionally cross a segment of space and constantly shrink the distance between it and Meng Chuan.
My luck isn't bad. I encountered a forbidden creature the second day I arrived. Meng Chuan—who appeared unaware of this—was rather expectant. Having grasped the spatial law, his perception range spanned 50 million kilometers. Thus, he had long discovered the forbidden creature.
After discovering it, he deliberately flew toward the forbidden creature's territory to let it discover him.
When it was over four million kilometers away, the forbidden creature sensed Meng Chuan and silently approached.
Only after traveling millions of kilometers did it discover me. It should be a top Sixth Tribulation forbidden creature, Meng Chuan guessed.
Just like in the Fiend Mountain ruin, there were Fifth Tribulation and peak Fifth Tribulation forbidden creatures.
Forbidden creatures from the Chaos Turbid River came from beyond the universe. Their means were strange and unpredictable; they were extremely powerful to begin with. In the Chaos Turbid River, forbidden creatures would devour each other and continue to become stronger. It was very normal for them to have top Sixth Tribulation realm strength. It was also possible for them to be stronger.
There were even Seventh Tribulation forbidden creatures.
It's here. It's getting closer and closer. Meng Chuan only used the lightning law to fly, acting as though he didn't notice anything. Secretly, two Essence Soul avatars were separately hundreds of millions of kilometers away. They entered deep into the Chaos Turbid River and carefully sensed their surroundings in search of the forbidden creature's Life Core.
The gigantic black shadow was getting closer and closer to the bottom of the pool.
The distance between them shrank. 500, 000 kilometers, 400, 000 kilometers, 300, 000 kilometers, 250, 000 kilometers... 150, 000 kilometers.
When it was 150, 000 kilometers away, the black shadow stopped approaching.
Why did it stop? Meng Chuan was secretly puzzled as he continued flying normally.
A pink fog suddenly entered Meng Chuan's sea of consciousness and attacked his Essence Soul.
The moment the fog corroded his Essence Soul, Meng Chuan felt intense pain.
In his Essence Soul World, a white-robed, beautiful woman appeared. With her charm, she wanted to bewitch the entire Essence Soul World.
The woman's appearance is very similar to that of a human. Is she transformed according to my will?
Boom!
The forbidden creature's attack on Meng Chuan's Essence Soul came without any warning. It launched a heavy assault on his Essence Soul and also bewitched Meng Chuan's consciousness. Even an Essence Soul Sixth Tribulation Eminence's Essence Soul would be greatly affected by such an attack that attacked both internally and externally, even if their Essence Soul didn't dissipate.
Meng Chuan stepped on the water surface, and an illusory white face appeared below him. It opened its mouth wide and swallowed Meng Chuan.
If Meng Chuan's consciousness were blank, he would be devoured.
Forbidden creature! Meng Chuan wore a look of shock and anger. With a wave of his hand, bolts of lightning struck the white face beneath his feet. Every bolt of lightning contained two laws—lightning and lepton. Just three bolts of lightning completely destroyed the white face.
At the moment of destruction, a huge black shadow approached from the bottom of the water. At the same time, white faces flew out from the massive black shadow.
Instantly, thousands of white faces surfaced.
Deep in the water, white faces grinned, roared ferociously, were enthusiastic, or were cold. In the blink of an eye, a large number of white faces surfaced and surrounded Meng Chuan.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Meng Chuan looked alarmed as he frantically used lightning. Large amounts of lightning struck in all directions. But after destroying hundreds of white faces, even more faces completely drowned Meng Chuan.
On the huge black shadow, the single eye watched everything excitedly. An Essence Soul Tribulation Eminence? Not bad for food.
Huh? The black shadow suddenly 'saw' a pair of dark eyes.
The dark eyes stared at it. The black shadow felt that its consciousness could not resist. The eyes were like bottomless abysses that devoured its consciousness.
What a powerful Essence Soul Tribulation Eminence. The black shadow could barely sense the outside world, and it couldn't use any offensive means. The few thousand white faces—which had been released—silently dissipated.
The black shadow was very shocked. This was because it was very good at using mind and consciousness techniques. However, it was unable to resist the Essence Soul Tribulation Eminence's attack.
It didn't know that Meng Chuan's willpower was extremely high to begin with. After grasping the spatial law, he had cultivated the Pupil of Darkness mystic technique to a higher realm, allowing him to unleash much greater strength.
The tens of thousands of white faces around him dissipated. Meng Chuan was extremely furious. With a wave of his hand, he condensed Chaos Hole Lightning Spears and smote the black shadow.
I know. You're good at Essence Soul mystic techniques. The black shadow stared at Meng Chuan without panicking at all. It allowed the Chaos Hole Lightning Spears to strike its body as they furiously struck down. In a few seconds, the black shadow was completely annihilated.
At the same time, millions of kilometers beneath the water surface...
The black shadow condensed again.
A Sixth Tribulation forbidden creature was immortal as long as their Life Core didn't shatter.
