Chapter 753: Treatment
Meng Chuan looked up and sensed the Heavenly Tribulation. It was targeting him—there was no escaping it.
I’ll have to prepare for the Tribulation Transcendence next. Meng Chuan knew that he had to seize every moment.
Whoosh.
In the library, Meng Chuan placed the books on the bookshelf in front of him. He then stood up and walked out of the library.
A group of Eminences had already gathered outside the library. They were all from White Avian Hall—Hall Lord White Avian, Lord of Shadowfiend, Deputy Hall Lord Azure Dragon, Deputy Hall Lord Blazing Sun, Palace Lord Food God, Lord of Shadows, Lord of the East Abyss, Cang Li, and Mountain Lord Moxie.
When Meng Chuan walked out, all of them looked at Meng Chuan with complicated expressions. They were filled with disbelief, amazement, and puzzlement…
“Meng Chuan, you broke through?” asked Hall Lord White Avian. The other Eminences listened carefully.
Meng Chuan smiled and nodded. “I have, but I still need to transcend the eighth Essence Soul Tribulation.”
The moment that was said, the Eminences present fell silent. He has really broken through! He has reached the legendary Eighth Tribulation realm!
Although Meng Chuan still needed to transcend the tribulation before he could become an extended existence, Meng Chuan had already become an Essence Soul Eighth Tribulation Eminence from this moment onward. He now had unimaginable strength at that level.
Eighth Tribulation realm—this was a realm every Seventh Tribulation Eminence yearned for! Upon reaching this realm, one would gain many unimaginable means. They could make their homeworld a high-level world, and they could allow a portion of their clansmen to transcend Samsara and share lifespans with their homeworld. They could also explore endless spacetime and see scenery thousands of times more exciting.
Typically, the probability of a Seventh Tribulation Eminence reaching the Eighth Tribulation realm was extremely low. But in this era—where three half-step Eighth Tribulation Eminences had once stood shoulder to shoulder—Meng Chuan had taken the critical step and truly reached the Eighth Tribulation realm. Only the final tribulation trial remained.
“Congratulations, Eastcalm.” Lord of Shadowfiend congratulated him.
“Congratulations, City Lord Eastcalm.” All the Eminences present congratulated him. At that moment, their attitudes were much more humbler.
Seventh Tribulation Eminences could only affect an era after all. The River of Spacetime’s fundamental situation was decided by Eighth Tribulation Eminences. If an Eighth Tribulation Eminence wanted to build a faction, they could exist for billions of years. If they offended an Eighth Tribulation Eminence, even someone as powerful as Celestial Thearch Myriad Star would end up in a tragic state.
“Do you need to keep your breakthrough a secret?” asked Hall Lord White Avian.
“There’s no need to keep it a secret.” Meng Chuan shook his head. He believed that many Eighth Tribulation Eminences in the River of Spacetime had sensed his elevation in life’s natural order.
He could vaguely sense that there were Eighth Tribulation Eminences sleeping and hiding in this universe. However, they were isolated by array formations. Meng Chuan could determine that they were still alive, but he didn’t know their exact locations.
He had just broken through, but without an array formation isolating him, the Eighth Tribulation Eminences would’ve known about his breakthrough. There was no need to hide it.
“Understood.” Hall Lord White Avian nodded before he couldn’t help saying, “Meng Chuan, I have something to discuss with you.”
“Hall Lord, let’s talk in detail when we reach your residence.” Meng Chuan smiled. He naturally guessed what Hall Lord wanted to say.
Soon, the two went to a courtyard in the hall. The other Eminences didn’t dare to disturb them.
“Look at my injuries. Can they be treated?” asked Hall Lord White Avian immediately as he sat down.
Meng Chuan looked at Hall Lord White Avian, but he could already see the other party’s Essence Soul clearly. He saw the alien powers that permeated everywhere.
It was a Power of Essence Soul at the same level as him.
“In terms of bodies, a Physical Body Eighth Tribulation Eminence has the advantage,” said Meng Chuan. “But in terms of unpredictable strength, an Essence Soul Eighth Tribulation Eminence’s Power of Essence Soul is stronger. The one who attacked you was an Essence Soul Eighth Tribulation Eminence. The Power of Essence Soul seeped into one of your avatars, passed through karma and your thoughts, and naturally transmitted to your homeworld’s true body.”
“Thought transmission?” Hall Lord White Avian was alarmed.
“By knowing him, remembering him, and understanding him, his strength is naturally able to seep into you,” explained Meng Chuan. “If he’s willing, he can even use your outer realm true body’s mark to condense an Essence Soul true body and descend into our universe. Of course, he didn’t kill you because your homeworld’s true body has always been in your homeworld, and he’s unable to enter your homeworld.”
“Yes, our universe is Dragon Ancestor’s home universe. I heard that he’s quite famous beyond the universe, so he won’t easily storm his way here,” said Hall Lord White Avian self-deprecatingly. “In his eyes, I’m probably a tiny ant that’s not worth mentioning. Just a nap, and I’ll die of old age. It’s not worth paying a huge price for me.”
As Meng Chuan listened, his Power of Essence Soul seeped into Hall Lord White Avian.
Hall Lord White Avian suddenly felt like Meng Chuan’s eyes were like an endless universe. He couldn’t help but be dazed.
Meng Chuan’s Power of Essence Soul affected Hall Lord White Avian’s mind. Through karma and mental transmission, it also seeped into his other true body in his homeworld.
His two true bodies were affected at the same time.
Hall Lord White Avian’s mind was slightly distorted and changed. The evil power began to be expelled.
Meng Chuan could sense that the other party was about the same level as him. As a sourceless water, the other party’s infiltration powers naturally couldn’t withstand his; this was like fighting for territory. A Physical Body Seventh Tribulation Eminence like Hall Lord White Avian was unable to stop Meng Chuan and a peer equal to him from corroding him with their Power of Essence Soul.
Moments later, Meng Chuan’s Power of Essence Soul completely expelled the other party’s before retracting his strength.
Huh? Hall Lord White Avian fell into a daze.
“My injuries?” Hall Lord White Avian was pleasantly surprised to discover that he had completely recovered.
“Why can’t I remember what the Essence Soul Eighth Tribulation Eminence that injured me looks like?” Hall Lord White Avian immediately discovered the changes in his body. At his realm, he would immediately discover the changes in his body.
“Only by doing so will it be a complete cure,” explained Meng Chuan. “If you still remember him clearly, he will be able to infiltrate and corrode you again.”
Hall Lord White Avian was secretly alarmed.
The Eighth Tribulation Eminences he came into contact with were all Physical Body Eighth Tribulation Eminences.
The only Essence Soul Eighth Tribulation Eminence he had met was an enemy. At that moment, he felt that an Essence Soul Eighth Tribulation Eminence’s means were much more sinister than those of a Physical Body Eighth Tribulation Eminence. It was impossible to guard against them.
“I know that Black Fiend Hall’s Power of Nightmare is strange, but I feel that an Essence Soul Eighth Tribulation Eminence’s power is much more terrifying. I can’t even know his name or have intelligence on him.” Hall Lord White Avian sighed.
“When I was at the half-step Eighth Tribulation realm, I once treated Poison Eye and witnessed the Power of Nightmare. That was a formulation comprehended by Black Fiend Progenitor,” said Meng Chuan. “An Essence Soul Eighth Tribulation Eminence’s power is unique to those who have cultivated the Essence Soul lineage to the Eighth Tribulation realm. It’s not easy for Physical Body Eighth Tribulation Eminences to possess such means.”
Now that Hall Lord White Avian had recovered from his injuries, he was in a much better mood. “Back then, I thought that if an Essence Soul Eighth Tribulation Eminence were to appear in this era, only you would stand a chance. However, I was just clinging onto any hope of survival in my despair. I knew how difficult it was to give birth to an Essence Soul Eighth Tribulation Eminence. Who knew that you would really succeed?”
Meng Chuan shook his head and said, “I haven’t transcended the tribulation yet.”
“You will definitely succeed.” Hall Lord White Avian was more confident than Meng Chuan after seeing his journey.
“If I fail to transcend the tribulation, please take care of my homeworld,” said Meng Chuan.
Hall Lord White Avian was slightly taken aback before he said solemnly, “I promise with my life that I will watch over your homeworld with all my might. However, I still believe that it’s not my place to watch over a high-level world when you transcend the tribulation successfully.”
“I’ll be counting on your blessings.” Meng Chuan wasn’t confident because he knew too little about the eighth Essence Soul Tribulation.
Huh? Meng Chuan suddenly sensed something and looked up.
A tall man with long, narrow eyes had already arrived outside the door. He looked at Meng Chuan with kindness in his eyes.
Meng Chuan looked at him.
“Greetings, Eastcalm; I’m Crimson Peace.” The tall man walked into the courtyard. Hall Lord White Avian didn’t notice him at all. He was in a completely different spacetime.
The person was none other than Perfected Lord Crimson Peace, an Eighth Tribulation Eminence.
“Greetings, Perfected Lord Crimson Peace.” As Meng Chuan spoke to Hall Lord White Avian, he sent his Essence Soul avatar into this layer of spacetime and stood up to welcome Perfected Lord Crimson Peace.
