Archean Eon Art

Chapter 623 Liu Qiyue Awakens

Emperor Roc felt lingering fear and relief, having toed the precipice of death.

This Meng Chuan hired a Sixth Tribulation Eminence to kill me, but he still failed to kill me. Emperor Roc looked around. “Thank you, demon ancestors. You spared no expense to build the Demon Ancestral Cave, and it has allowed me to survive this calamity.”

Demon Ancestral Cave had the ability to weaken karma. If it weren’t for the Demon Ancestral Cave, Emperor Roc would have died if he simply relied on the obstruction of an inhabited world.

Meng Chuan, the price for hiring a Sixth Tribulation Eminence can’t be low, right? Emperor Roc sneered. Are you willing to hire a second or even third Sixth Tribulation Eminence after failing once?

From Emperor Roc’s point of view, Meng Chuan was only a Fifth Tribulation Eminence. He could dominate a river system, but his status was far inferior to that of a Sixth Tribulation Eminence, who reigned supreme across the River of Spacetime.

If you can hire a Seventh Tribulation Eminence, you will have full confidence in killing me. Unfortunately, you don’t even have the right to meet a Seventh Tribulation Eminence. Emperor Roc was very confident.

A Sixth Tribulation Eminence only had a sliver of hope of killing a Third Tribulation Eminence through an inhabited world.

In contrast, Seventh Tribulation Eminences had full confidence in killing Fourth Tribulation Eminences across worlds. This was because a Tribulation Eminence’s strength increased as they advanced through the Tribulation realms.

This Meng Chuan has a strong desire to kill me. I should think of a way to perfect my body formulation and improve my body as soon as possible, thought Emperor Roc.

Thousand Mountain Star.

I failed? Meng Chuan stood on the mountain peak and looked down at the vast land. His karmic connection with Emperor Roc was strong enough to begin with. Despite this, Meng Chuan had failed to kill him using Emperor Roc’s blood as a medium. The strength he could unleash with the Eighth Tribulation treasure, Heavenly Punishment Chart, was considered top-notch among Sixth Tribulation Eminences. Even if he hired other Sixth Tribulation Eminences, he didn’t have confidence in succeeding.

However, failure was within expectations.

If I succeed in transcending the tribulation, I can befriend a Seventh Tribulation Eminence and seek their help.

He was absolutely confident of a Seventh Tribulation Eminence succeeding if they did the job.

Meng Chuan didn’t know Emperor Roc’s true strength, but he was very certain that Emperor Roc had only reached the Third Tribulation realm after cultivating for more than 7,000 years. Unless he had a huge opportunity, it was impossible for Emperor Roc to reach the Fifth Tribulation realm in his entire life with such talent and perception.

Emperor Roc was also forced to stay in the Demon Realm, unable to enter the outer realm. It was impossible for him to obtain any huge opportunities. Without any huge opportunities, Emperor Roc was destined to have zero hope of reaching the Fifth Tribulation realm by living a peaceful life in the Demon Realm.

With Emperor Roc’s potential, it wouldn’t be easy for him to reach the Fourth Tribulation realm, even if he took some unorthodox path and ignored all future repercussions. In the future, Meng Chuan would definitely successfully kill him by hiring a Seventh Tribulation Eminence.

What if I were to fail at transcending the tribulation? Meng Chuan frowned slightly. Archean Eon Realm will have to endure for tens of thousands of years.

Swoosh.

From afar, a figure—which looked like it was forged from black metal—flew over. It landed on the mountain peak very gently, but it still felt like a world was pressing down on it. It was the Eight-Headed Star Swallowing Snake

— Cave Lord Scenic Cloud-who had grasped three Fifth Tribulation laws.

“City Lord, you were looking for me?” asked Cave Lord Scenic Cloud.

“Scenic Cloud.” Meng Chuan nodded. “I’m about to transcend the tribulation.”

“Tribulation Transcendence?” Cave Lord Scenic Cloud was taken aback. “Sixth Heavenly Tribulation?”

Meng Chuan nodded. “Yes.”

Cave Lord Scenic Cloud stared at Meng Chuan dazedly. He had grasped three Fifth Tribulation laws for so many years, but he had failed to merge them into a Sixth Tribulation law. Even if he managed to comprehend a Sixth Tribulation law in the future, he still needed to create a physical body formulation and raise his body to the Sixth Tribulation realm before he could trigger the sixth Heavenly Tribulation. Back then, he had been forced to bow his head because Meng Chuan had set up an array formation to suppress him.

He had only bowed his head because of the treasures he had amassed for years and his species.

“It’s been less than 200 years since I came to Thousand Mountain Star, yet you are already about to transcend your sixth Heavenly Tribulation,” muttered Cave Lord Scenic Cloud. “None of us Eight-Headed Star Swallowing Snakes can reach the Sixth Tribulation realm in the entire River of Spacetime.”

“It’s hard to predict success or failure when it comes to Tribulation Transcendence.” Meng Chuan looked at him. “If I succeed in transcending the tribulation, everything will be as it was in the past. If I fail to transcend the tribulation... I’ll leave Thousand Mountain Star to you. You can do whatever you want with it. However, I hope that you can protect the cultivators in Archean Eon Realm and treat them as your fellow clansmen.

“Also, kill any cultivator that dares to come out of Three Bay River System’s Demon Realm. These are the two requirements I have for you. As for the restrictions I placed on you in the past, they can be abolished.”

“Alright, I agree.” Cave Lord Scenic Cloud agreed decisively. Meng Chuan’s requirements weren’t high. He only treated the two inhabited worlds differently. Furthermore, Cave Lord Scenic Cloud didn’t dare refuse Meng Chuan, who had the strength of a Sixth Tribulation Eminence.

“Good.” Meng Chuan looked at Cave Lord Scenic Cloud and nodded slightly.

If he transcended the tribulation successfully, Archean Eon Realm would naturally obtain all sorts of benefits. If he failed to transcend the tribulation, Archean Eon Realm would continue to develop silently. Only when the next powerful Tribulation Eminence rose would it become prosperous again.

Archean Eon Realm, in Archean Mountain’s grotto-heaven.

Boom!

Millennium Hall’s door opened.

Meng Chuan looked at the figures lying in the hall. All of them were frozen in dark-blue ice. Those that could lie here were at least Regis Godfiends. They made up the entirety of Archean Mountain’s hidden combat force. They either woke up naturally after sleeping for 1,000 years or were awakened under special circumstances. With Meng Chuan’s current status, he could personally make the decisions for Archean Mountain. “Qiyue.” Meng Chuan stood beside his wife and looked at her sleeping figure. He couldn’t help but smile.

He was 99 years old when his wife entered her slumber.

Today, he was 2,605 years old. He may have spent a long time cultivating alone in the Chaos Hole’s depths, but it had been too long... “Qiyue, wake up.” Meng Chuan looked at his wife. The dark-blue layer of ice gradually melted.

The white-haired woman’s eyelids trembled slightly as she gradually opened her eyes. When she saw the white-haired man beside her, Meng Chuan, she couldn’t help but smile. “Ah Chuan, I said that I wanted to see you the moment I woke up.” Liu Qiyue looked at her husband and smiled. “You really didn’t break your promise.”

“I’ll definitely do what I promised you.” Meng Chuan looked at his wife.

Liu Qiyue stood up and carefully looked at her husband. His hair was still white, and the tiny amount of wrinkles on his face were the same as before.

“Let’s go out.” Meng Chuan held his wife’s hand as the couple walked out of the hall.

“How long did I sleep this time?” asked Liu Qiyue.

“264 years,” said Meng Chuan.

“It’s been more than 200 years?” Liu Qiyue was somewhat surprised. “Has the war ended? Did we win?”

“About 50 years after you entered your slumber, a demon sage passageway appeared,” said Meng Chuan with a smile. “However, with me around, I naturally killed the invading demons easily. The demon sage passageway has long collapsed. The other World Entrances are also shrinking. Even the World Gap—which has a short lifespan-is gradually collapsing. “Of the three demon Imperial Lords from back then, I have killed Imperial Lord Starquix and Imperial Lord Blackmoon across an inhabited world. However, Emperor Roc has already reached the Third Tribulation realm. He can’t be killed across worlds for the time being.”

Liu Qiyue was dazed when she heard that. She asked in surprise, “You killed them across worlds? Ah Chuan, what realm have you reached?”

“I can barely be considered to be at the Sixth Tribulation realm,” said Meng Chuan. “Isn’t that only one step away from Ancestral Master Archean Eon?” Liu Qiyue found it unbelievable. “And I’ve only been asleep for over 200 years?”.

Meng Chuan said, “However, I’ve already cultivated for more than 2,000 years. Furthermore, I haven’t transcended the tribulation. Only after I transcend the tribulation can I be considered a Sixth Tribulation Eminence.”

“You’ve cultivated for more than 2,000 years?” Liu Qiyue stared at her husband dazedly.

The couple grew up together as childhood sweethearts. They fought alongside each other until they were almost 100 years old. When she woke up from her slumber, she realized that her husband had been cultivating alone for more than 2,000 years.

“Was it very lonely?” Liu Qiyue looked at her husband.

“It was.” Meng Chuan smiled. “Even in my dreams, I dreamed of the days we spent together.”

Although the world was vast, his days of cultivation were indeed lonely. Only when his wife woke up and stood beside him again did Meng Chuan feel that he wasn’t lonely anymore. His life was complete again. Liu Qiyue smiled at her husband and immediately asked, “By the way, you said that you would only be at the Sixth Tribulation realm if you successfully transcended the tribulation. When will you transcend the tribulation? Are you confident about it?”

Back when she entered her slumber, although she had obtained some information about the Tribulation realm, she didn’t know much about it. She didn’t know much about the status of a Sixth Tribulation Eminence in the outer realm. She also didn’t know how difficult it was to reach the Sixth Tribulation realm.
