novelEmperor Rocs Death (Final Chapter of Volume)
| ← Ch.686 | Ch.688 → |
Meng Chuan had never forgotten Emperor Roc—one of the main culprits behind Archean Eon Realm's calamity.
The calamity lasted for more than 900 years. During the worst and most tragic period, humans were forced to guard the important cities only. The demons wreaked havoc outside the cities, and countless people died.
Meng Chuan had experienced that tragic period. He had seen demons slaughtering countless cities and villages. The ones who caused this calamity were the Demon Realm's three Imperial Lords! Two of the Imperial Lords—Imperial Lord Starquix and Lady Blackmoon—had died at Meng Chuan's hands! The strongest, Emperor Roc, had reached the Third Tribulation realm and lived an abject life to this day.
Golden Roc, third of the demons' Imperial Lords, it's your turn today. Meng Chuan vaguely felt that he would succeed this time. His current strength was much greater than when he had just reached the Sixth Tribulation realm.
Back then, he had only grasped a single Sixth Tribulation law—the lightning law. Now, he was already a peak Sixth Tribulation Eminence. With a flip of his hand, he could destroy his former self. By using the Eighth Tribulation treasure, Heavenly Punishment Chart, he probably had the strength of a half-step Seventh Tribulation Eminence.
With such strength, it was very likely for him to kill a Fourth Tribulation Eminence across worlds. It was impossible for a Third Tribulation Eminence to survive by relying on themselves.
Die.
The Heavenly Punishment Chart's manifestation—which appeared as a huge eye—was as dark as a Chaos Hole. In order to have complete confidence, Meng Chuan naturally used an Eighth Tribulation treasure.
Boom!
A deep rumble echoed in the Seventh Tribulation World Treasure, causing the world to tremble. At the same time, a dark-gold lightning bolt—as thick as a finger—struck the floating blob of blood.
Meng Chuan watched everything coldly. The terrifying lightning traveled through the karmic threads that intertwined with each other and instantly spread to the Demon Realm—the neighboring inhabited world. It transmitted to Emperor Roc, who had been hiding in the Demon Ancestral Cave.
Demon Realm, Demon Ancestral Cave.
Oh? Emperor Roc—who was sitting cross-legged—suddenly revealed a look of horror. The attack that followed the karmic threads made him instinctively feel that he couldn't block it.
Meng Chuan has invited an Eminence to take action again so quickly? This thought surfaced in Emperor Roc's mind. A wisp of dark-gold lightning had already seeped into his body, and his body was like snow melting in flames. He was instantly annihilated.
His true body—which was hiding in the Demon Ancestral Cave—was completely destroyed. Only some artifacts remained.
Although the Demon Ancestral Cave had many protective means left behind by the demons' ancestors, the strongest demon ancestor only reached the Sixth Tribulation realm. The cave's blocking effects on karmic attacks were ultimately limited.
...
Thousand Mountain Star, Fiend Prison.
Emperor Roc's outer realm true body had been imprisoned here and tortured.
My homeworld's true body. Emperor Roc was somewhat dazed as his mind went blank. With his homeworld's true body dead, what hope did his outer realm true body have?
Emperor Roc looked up in a daze. A black-robed, white-haired man walked over from afar.
"Meng Chuan." Emperor Roc looked at Meng Chuan. He sensed Meng Chuan's mightier aura and muttered, "You've reached the Sixth Tribulation realm? I never expected you to reach the Sixth Tribulation realm. Did you beg a Seventh Tribulation Eminence to kill me? You really hate me to the core. You spared no expense to hire a Seventh Tribulation Eminence to kill me."
Emperor Roc had determined that it was a Sixth Tribulation Eminence who had attacked him the previous time. In just over 200 years, another attack had descended upon him. It was much more terrifying, so he estimated it to be at the Seventh Tribulation realm.
It was really rare for a mere Third Tribulation Eminence like him to provoke a Seventh Tribulation Eminence to attack across worlds.
"I'm honored that you paid such a huge price." Emperor Roc looked at Meng Chuan. He didn't have any extravagant hopes of surviving.
"Price?" Meng Chuan looked at him."I attacked personally! Asking for help isn't as satisfying killing you personally."
"Personally?" Emperor Roc was taken aback."You've reached the Seventh Tribulation realm?"
After all, he was only at the Third Tribulation realm. Even though he had grasped a Fourth Tribulation law and had mostly perfected his physical body, his horizons weren't broad. He couldn't determine Meng Chuan's strength.
Meng Chuan didn't say anything else. He pointed his finger, and an illusion descended.
It made Emperor Roc fall into despair before he died.
Humph.
Emperor Roc fell into layers of illusions as he roared, "If I die, what does the destruction of the Demon Realm have to do with me? Hahaha, come if you have the guts. I'm the Demon Realm's emperor.
"No, no, spare me.
"I don't dare. I don't dare.
"Hehehe..."
Emperor Roc's willpower gradually collapsed under the layers of illusions, revealing his ugliness.
Meng Chuan watched all of this from the side. Countless scenes of the demon invasion surfaced in his mind.
Finally, Emperor Roc's tortured Essence Soul completely dissipated as he died in Fiend Prison.
The three main culprits are dead, thought Meng Chuan. With a wave of his hand, he reduced Emperor Roc's corpse to dust before turning to leave.
...
Archean Eon Realm, on a mountain peak in Archean Mountain.
Meng Chuan and Qin Wu stood side by side. Their gazes penetrated the endless sea of clouds as they looked at all life in Archean Eon Realm.
"Emperor Roc is also dead, " said Qin Wu."Having hidden in the Demon Realm, he is finally killed by you. This war has finally come to an end."
"It's still early, " Meng Chuan said.
"Early?" Qin Wu looked at him.
"The flames of war spread throughout Archean Eon Realm. Master, you were almost forced to use the Heaven and Earth Great Hall to destroy the world, " said Meng Chuan."As for the Demon Realm, it's completely unharmed. Is this considered the end?"
"The Demon Realm is indeed a calamity. This inhabited world is too close to our Archean Eon Realm. The war lasted for nearly 1, 000 years after the World Entrances formed. In the future, it's possible for it to approach again after hundreds of thousands of years or even millions of years. If we can seriously damage it, it will indeed benefit Archean Eon Realm's descendants, " said Qin Wu."But what can we do? We can't enter the Demon Realm. All we can do is make the demons afraid to enter the outer realm."
Meng Chuan didn't say a word. He only looked down at Archean Eon Realm.
...
The legends regarding Meng Chuan spread among Sixth Tribulation Eminences. Gradually, some Fifth Tribulation Eminences learned of him.
Eastcalm? Back when he killed my true body and took away Earth Cloud Mystic Realm, he had just reached the Sixth Tribulation realm? Three Stones panicked when he received the news. It's only been 200 years, yet he has already reached the peak of the Sixth Tribulation realm? According to intelligence, he has only cultivated for slightly over 5, 000 years.
Three Stones's heart palpitated. How did I provoke such an enemy? From today onwards, my true body will hide in Yellow-Robed Academy's headquarters. I won't take a single step out. Three Stones was afraid that Meng Chuan would bear a grudge, so he naturally had to be careful.
...
In the Cang Alliance Space.
The Cang Alliance members were scattered across the River of Spacetime, but news spread quickly.
"City Lord Eastcalm has reached the peak of the Sixth Tribulation realm."
"In our Cang Alliance, the strongest is Realm Ancestor. City Lord Eastcalm is ranked second, right?"
"I never expected City Lord Eastcalm to be at the peak of the Sixth Tribulation realm after being at the Sixth Tribulation realm for less than 300 years."
In the Cang Alliance space, members gathered in twos and threes. Almost all of them were discussing City Lord Eastcalm. After all, they were also members of the Cang Alliance, so they felt honored.
At that moment, Fu Sui was sitting alone in a corner of the Cang Alliance space.
Eastcalm is already a peak Sixth Tribulation Eminence? Fu Sui's thoughts churned. Back then, he had discovered the Fiend Mountain ruin. He had brought Meng Chuan, Old Fiend Black Wind, and Meng Hu with him. He had taken the path of epiphany and was the first to grasp a Sixth Tribulation law. Back then, he was the most dazzling and glorious one.
Fu Sui's Essence Soul was in excruciating pain, causing his embodiment in the Cang Alliance space to tremble slightly.
We had the same encounter, but different outcomes. Fu Sui's eyes were deep as he thought to himself, All cultivators have their own destinies. As for true experts, they need to be able to withstand fate and change it.
Fu Sui had never given up. He felt that he had a chance of recovering from his Essence Soul injuries.
...
Eastcalm has reached the peak of the Sixth Tribulation realm? Old Fiend Black Wind sat in the palace and looked at the endless void outside thoughtfully. He had gained a lot from the path of possession.
Although he vaguely felt that the path of possession was wrong when he was close to comprehending a Sixth Tribulation law, he had still seen many Sixth Tribulation laws. After leaving Fiend Mountain, he naturally comprehended a Sixth Tribulation law as he accumulated insights.
He didn't deliberately pursue it. All he did was accumulate insights. However, he vaguely felt that the law he had comprehended might have flaws. Therefore, he didn't create a physical body formulation.
We went on the same expedition, but Eastcalm has already reached the peak of the Sixth Tribulation realm. There's no need for me to be too afraid. It's time to create a Sixth Tribulation body formulation, thought Black Wind. I can first create a body and raise it until it's one step away from perfection. There's no need to rush the tribulation transcendence.
Black Wind was a cautious person. This was a habit he had cultivated over tens of thousands of years.
...
Heavenly Dream Realm.
Meng Hu was still immersed in the Hundred Lives Dream Realm as he struggled in his training. If he could wake up, he would reap great benefits. But if he didn't wake up... he would sleep until the day he died.
The four who had entered Fiend Mountain together all took different paths.
