Chapter 547 Tribulation of the Essence Soul

Whoosh

Emperor Roc was traveling through the vast River of Spacetime at full speed. He wanted to return to his homeworld, which was in Three Bay River System.

I’m about to reach Three Bay River System. Emperor Roc’s strength had improved greatly after reaching the Third Tribulation realm and cultivating in the Chaos Hole’s depths for more than a century. He was much faster during his return trip from Ancient Magus River Zone. He would reach Three Bay River System in a year.

This trip was all for nothing. Emperor Roc was rather indignant. His many years of planning had been in vain. Damn you, Meng Chuan! He’s indeed sinister. I thought he was a newly-advanced Imperial Lord at most, but I never expected him to remain at the Supremacy realm. When Meng Chuan’s strike reached the Demon Realm through the demon sage passageway, he knew that Meng Chuan had remained at the Supremacy realm, not breaking through. Although Meng Chuan had remained at the Supremacy realm, he could unleash the strength of a Tribulation Eminence! His technique realm clearly is extremely high. In regards to technique realm, he’s probably slightly stronger than me.

Once the war was won, Meng Chuan no longer needed to hide his strength.

A month after their victory, my karmic perception of him blurred significantly. I can only vaguely sense his direction. He should be at the Tribulation realm. Emperor Roc had some guesses about Meng Chuan’s strength. He understood that a month in the outside world could mean dozens-fold longer in the Chaos Hole’s depths. This was because of how the time flow accelerated in the Chaos Hole.

With sufficient Outer Realm Essence Crystals, Meng Chuan could advance to the Tribulation realm smoothly. After winning the war for more than half a year, I can’t even sense him through karma. I can only confirm that he’s alive. I can’t sense anything else. Even if he has a treasure that isolates karma, his lifeforce should be in no way inferior to mine. Has he reached the Third Tribulation realm?

Emperor Roc speculated. The more he thought about it, the more he found it perverse.

It was even harder to pry into the karma of high-level lifeforms. For example, Third Tribulation Eminences couldn’t sense the karma of Fifth Tribulation Eminences. As for Fifth Tribulation Eminences... they couldn’t clearly sense the karma of Seventh Tribulation Eminences. historical

Of course, some rare treasures had supplementary effects. However, the higher one’s cultivation realm was, the less effective these treasures were.

However, Emperor Roc didn’t know that a month after winning the war, Meng Chuan had attained an eighth-level Essence Soul. That was why his perception of Meng Chuan’s karma became very blurry.

Half a year after winning the war, Meng Chuan became a Primordial Imperial Lord! His strength was equivalent to that of an adult pure-blooded dragon or phoenix. He now had a 100,000-year lifespan. In regards to life’s natural order, he was equivalent to a Fifth Tribulation Eminence. This was also why Emperor Roc couldn’t sense him clearly.

There’s no way to suppress an Essence Soul breakthrough. Since he could immediately break through in a short time, it means that he’s reached the Physical Body Tribulation realm. Considering his technique realm, he might be able to become a Fourth Tribulation Eminence after spending some time. Emperor Roc was quite stressed.

They were all Tribulation Eminences from Three Bay River System. A river system only had a few dozen Tribulation Eminences! They would definitely interact in the future.

With the enmity between the two parties, Meng Chuan definitely wouldn’t let him off.

How did he improve so quickly? Emperor Roc muttered to himself. Did he create a very powerful ultimate technique?

One could rapidly improve their strength by creating powerful techniques.

Emperor Roc relied on his bloodline to reach the Third Tribulation realm quickly.

After Meng Chuan’s self-created Cloud Dragon Snake Movement Technique reached the perfected Heaven Earth realm, his technique realm was comparable to a Third Tribulation Eminence’s. As long as his body was perfected, he could reach the Third Tribulation realm with the ultimate technique in a short period of time.

Ordinary Imperial Lord-level ultimate techniques typically allowed one to rise straight to the Third Tribulation realm.

Further up and it would be Imperial Lord-level paramount techniques. They were techniques that allowed one to reach the Fifth Tribulation realm smoothly. Creators of such techniques were legendary existences. In the River of Spacetime, such peerless geniuses were much rarer than Sixth Tribulation Eminences.

I’ve returned to Three Bay River System. Emperor Roc was filled with anticipation. It’s time to meet the Palace Lord.

Three Bay River System was a river system with a rather deep heritage. The river system also had a Fifth Tribulation Eminence-Palace Lord Snowjade.

Palace Lord Snowjade was rather arrogant. Therefore, ordinary cultivators didn’t dare enter his cultivation grounds.

Swoosh.

Emperor Roc flew over to a towering snow mountain, which floated in the outer realm.

The snow mountain was over 50,000 kilometers tall. Next to the snow mountain was a Grand Yin Star that emitted a cold glow. This snow mountain was a Sixth Tribulation treasure. Even a Fifth Tribulation Eminence wouldn’t be willing to enter the snow mountain and fight Palace Lord Snowjade.

A palace complex—which appeared to be carved from jade-stood atop the snow mountain’s summit. It was Three Bay River System’s Holy Land-Snowjade Palace.

Whoosh.

Emperor Roc landed on the square in front of Snowjade Palace. In the square, a green toad was coiled like a sculpture. At that moment, the green toad opened its eyes and looked at Emperor Roc. It said in surprise, “Golden Roc, you have reached the Tribulation realm?”

Emperor Roc nodded. “Yes.”

“Which Tribulation realm?” asked the green toad.

“Third Tribulation realm.” Emperor Roc didn’t hide anything. “That’s true. With your bloodline, you can quickly reach the Third Tribulation realm,” said the green toad with a smile. “The Palace Lord will be leaving Three Bay River System to do something big. Since you have reached the Third Tribulation realm... you can follow him.”

Emperor Roc was astonished. “Something big?” “Golden Roc, come in.” A cold voice came from the palace’s depths.

“Yes.” Emperor Roc was extremely respectful. When he reached the perfected Imperial Lord realm, he was admitted to Snowjade Palace due to his bloodline.

It was more suitable for weak Tribulation Eminences to follow powerful Tribulation Eminences. Some weaker Tribulation Eminences were even unqualified to follow them.

After Emperor Roc reached the perfected Imperial Lord realm, he was destined to be a Third Tribulation Eminence. Due to his bloodline, he was considered extremely powerful in the Third Tribulation realm. He was strong enough for Fifth Tribulation Eminences to take him in as a follower. This was because Fourth Tribulation Eminences could have free rein over large areas alone. There was no need for Fifth Tribulation Eminences to shelter them.

Emperor Roc was willing to be a follower because he knew himself very well. After quickly reaching the Third Tribulation realm, it would be extremely difficult for him to improve further. He needed Palace Lord Snowjade as his guide.

Archean Eon Realm, Grotto-Heaven Pavilion.

Meng Chuan was reading a book when he suddenly looked into the distance.

Emperor Roc has returned to Three Bay River System. Furthermore, I can sense its location... It should be in Snowjade Palace. Meng Chuan frowned slightly. Due to them being in the same river system, his perception of Emperor Roc’s karma became clearer.

Emperor Roc couldn’t sense his karma, but Meng Chuan could clearly sense Emperor Roc’s.

Back on Black Dragon Planet, Meng Chuan had purchased detailed intelligence on Three Bay River System through Eternal Tower. Information on every Tribulation Eminence and Imperial Lord was available.

One of them noted that Emperor Roc was one of Palace Lord Snowjade’s followers.

Palace Lord Snowjade, the only Fifth Tribulation Eminence in the entire Three Bay River System? When I kill Emperor Roc in the future, as long as Palace Lord Snowjade isn’t stupid, he won’t fight me for a follower. Fifth Tribulation Eminences did not need to fight life-and-death battles unless for special reasons. After all, they all had true bodies in their homeworlds. Even if a Fifth Tribulation Eminence killed one of their opponent’s true bodies, the other party could just cultivate another one.

However, this will only happen if my strength is close to Palace Lord Snowjade’s. I’m still not at the Fifth Tribulation realm yet. Meng Chuan had patience.

He was growing at a rapid pace.

Meng Chuan flipped through the book in his hand leisurely.

Suddenly

Meng Chuan’s hand trembled slightly as he sat there and stared at the page for about ten minutes.

I transcended the first Essence Soul tribulation. Meng Chuan heaved a sigh of relief before flipping to the second page.

Essence Soul Tribulations came and went without a trace. They descended upon one’s Essence Soul directly. Thus, there wasn’t much of a commotion on the surface.

After Meng Chuan transcended his first Essence Soul Tribulation, his Essence Soul transformed as his Power of Essence Soul became purer. If he couldn’t withstand the Essence Soul Tribulations, no matter how powerful his Essence Soul was, he could barely get things in order before his soul completely dissipated. However, Meng Chuan was very confident. From his Essence Soul’s purity, Meng Chuan knew that his spiritual cultivation level should be extremely high.

Meng Chuan’s Infinite Saber and Saber of Nirvana fused with his Essence Soul World, changing it greatly. His infinite Saber was a perfect paramount technique. With it, he naturally transcended his first Essence Soul Tribulation easily.
