Chapter 731: Devoured Talent

Meng Chuan could sense that his Essence Soul composition gradually changed after the mysterious power seeped into it.

Everything in the universe—be it a drop of water, a blade of grass, a powerful cultivator, or a mysterious Eternal treasure—was composed of countless leptons. By following a particular direction laid out by the study of leptons, one could form the Matter law. By taking another direction, one could form the Immeasurable law...

If one reached the Eternal realm of omniscience, they could use leptons to create any treasure or living being. For example, they could create an Eternal treasure with countless leptons. they could also create an existence similar to Senior Brother Thousand-Hands.

Of course, the difficulty of creating different things was completely different.

Just like how mortals knew how to build houses, the difficulty of building a thatched hut was naturally different from building a hundred-story building. It was the same for Eternal existences. They could construct countless items with lepton, but creating an Eternal treasure required astonishing effort. Eternal existences would rather obtain precious materials from distant spacetime to refine an Eternal treasure. After all, it was very difficult to create an Eternal treasure from nothing.

The composition of leptons was filled with endless confusion for Eighth Tribulation Eminences. Meng Chuan naturally didn’t understand it. However, the slight changes in his Essence Soul affected Meng Chuan.

This is? Meng Chuan opened his eyes and looked around in shock.

The originally beautiful mountain forest distorted and changed, becoming unreal.

Why did the world I sensed change? Although Meng Chuan was shocked, he remained calm. He knew that everything was possible when his Essence Soul changed. The opportunities on Dry Origin Mountain are determined by an Eternal existence. A perfect devouring shouldn’t result in any latent problems.

Whoosh!

Whether Meng Chuan had his eyes opened or closed, his perception of his surroundings became increasingly distorted.

The vegetation in front of him distorted as the space around them warped. Everything looked extremely bizarre.

Meng Chuan waited patiently. Two hours, four hours, six hours...

What he sensed became more and more exaggerated.

Everything was completely blurry.

Meng Chuan couldn’t see anything clearly. He only felt that everything was distorted Chaos.

Boom!

Twelve hours later, Meng Chuan’s Essence Soul rumbled. His consciousness completely jumped out of the distorted Chaos and into a wider dimension.

Meng Chuan could see Dry Origin Mountain clearly again. But this time, he stood at a higher level and saw the time flow of Dry Origin Mountain. He saw the next moment, the next, next moment, etc. He also saw the previous scene, the previous, previous scene of Dry Origin Mountain, etc.

Different lifeforms viewed worlds differently. Some lifeforms saw the world as black and white in their eyes, while others saw them as colorful worlds.

Some lifeforms could see normal spaces, but some lifeforms could see layers of different spatial levels. They were born with the ability to travel through the void.

As for some lifeforms, they could clearly see time through their eyes—it was no different from mortals being able to see sunlight and rain. These lifeforms could also clearly see time.

Time was no longer a concept, but a corporeal existence.

That snake is a Chaos creature that’s purely skilled in the spacetime lineage. Perhaps in its eyes, the flow of time is corporeal—something clearly visible. Only after I grasped the six-stroke runic seal mystic technique did I have the right to come to Dry Origin Mountain and obtain this opportunity. With this opportunity, my chances of comprehending the temporal law are much greater.

Meng Chuan was rather excited, but he still knew that there was a long way to reach the Eighth Tribulation realm.

Among Chaos creatures, many had spacetime talents, but how many could become a Chaos overlord? How many could cross the threshold of talent and completely grasp the laws of spacetime?

Even if he could grasp the laws of spacetime, he was still far from reaching the Essence Soul Eighth Tribulation realm... Out of the hundreds of half-step Eighth Tribulation Eminences, only one could reach the Eighth Tribulation realm.

Perhaps it’s because an Eternal existence knows how difficult it is to reach the Eighth Tribulation realm that he bestowed such an opportunity.

Eternal existences could help disciples, but the disciples had to rely on themselves for cultivation.

For instance, Daolord Evodia was an Eighth Tribulation Eminence before he became a disciple. He still remained an ordinary Eighth Tribulation Eminence despite becoming a disciple.

The transformation is complete.

Meng Chuan viewed his Essence Soul World.

In the depths of his Essence Soul World was a huge, floating black ring. It devoured everything but remained extremely stable. It had already become an important node in his Essence Soul World, causing it to become even vaster and stabler.

It’s very similar to the Spacetime Loop. Meng Chuan stood up in the mountain forest. With a thought, a ten-foot-wide black ring appeared behind him.

After the black ring appeared, it devoured all the surrounding powers.

The ring itself was formed by countless mystic runes. In the middle of the ring was a distorted vortex that devoured everything wantonly. This devouring power was much more terrifying than the Chaos Hole law. When Meng Chuan previously used the Myriad Tribulations Chaos Hole Array, he was sucked in without being able to put up any resistance.

The devouring power released by the black ring only affected the surrounding 1,000 feet. After all, he was on Dry Origin Mountain. Meng Chuan had to restrain himself.

Whoosh.

The surrounding 1,000 feet of rock remained intact, but all the vegetation was sucked into the black ring behind Meng Chuan.

Meng Chuan pondered for a moment before dispelling his talent with a thought.

The time on Dry Origin Mountain changed slightly, and the vegetation in the 1,000-foot radius returned to their original state just like before they were devoured.

My talent is very similar to that giant snake’s. It can devour everything in the outside world and unleash tremendous power internally. But in terms of strength, it’s inferior to the snake. I feel like it only has 30 to 40 percent of its strength. Perhaps it’s because it had cast it using its body, while I’m only casting it with my Essence Soul World.

With such similar talent, I’ll also call it ‘Spacetime Loop,’ thought Meng Chuan.

Although it was much weaker, Meng Chuan didn’t mind. If he wanted to, he could use multiple Essence Soul avatars to cast it at the same time.

Furthermore, using a talent attack foolishly was the stupidest. He was a Tribulation Eminence, so he naturally tried his best to comprehend the moves and fuse them into his combat system.

I have to study this talent—Spacetime Loop—well. I have to figure out how it can form a stronger devouring effect than a Chaos Hole. The internal Big Bang is also similar to the Heaven Splitting law. Meng Chuan wanted to use this to study the temporal law.

...

In a dark hall in his home universe.

Celestial Thearch Myriad Star sat cross-legged.

It’s been more than 80 years since I obtained the second volume of Bloodline. Celestial Thearch Myriad Star frowned as he pondered. After his sacrifice to obtain the second volume of the Eternal formulation, Bloodline, he had been studying it with all his might. He had even used a mystic realm to accelerate time by ten-fold.

This was because he realized that the situation was tense.

The faction—consisting of Hall Lord White Avian and Realm Ancestor—and many top factions were watching him.

Cultivating an Eternal formulation is indeed very difficult. Although Celestial Thearch Myriad Star had long expected this, he was still somewhat disappointed by his gains after studying the Eternal formulation for more than 800 years, given he had sped up time ten-fold.

Such cultivation progress was very normal.

Eternal existences were lofty existences. There were only a few in the endless universe and spacetime.

They didn’t need to hide such items at all. They even took the initiative to pass down many formulations. Even the opportunities to take in disciples were known publicly. For example, the Three Thousand Illusion Arrays had long spread throughout the endless spacetime. The six-stroke painting was also publicly placed there.

However, it was very difficult to master them!

If I had the lifespan of an Eighth Tribulation Eminence, I might be able to grasp the complete nine volumes, much less the first and second volume. However, I have much less time.

According to what he knew, Eighth Tribulation Eminences typically had lifespans of over ten million years. Existences like Dragon Ancestor—who had extremely strong willpower—had even longer lifespans.

It was much longer than him, a Seventh Tribulation Eminence who hadn’t even lived for 200,000 years.

Many Eighth Tribulation Eminences obtained the nine volumes of the Eternal formulation, Bloodline. However, there were very few who could completely learn it and impart it to the rest of the world... As a half-step Eighth Tribulation Eminence, Celestial Thearch Myriad Star naturally understood even less.

The difficulty in his cultivation made him feel like his attainment of the Eighth Tribulation realm was becoming more and more uncertain.

I need more resources. The earlier I obtain that Chaos overlord’s drop of Origins Blood, the better. The earlier I comprehend it, the greater my chances of reaching the Eighth Tribulation realm. Celestial Thearch Myriad Star’s eyes were dark.
