Chapter 724: Insatiable Desire
In a dark hall.
Celestial Thearch Myriad Star sat cross-legged, his eyes deep and unfathomable.
It’s becoming harder to choose a suitable middle-level world, thought Celestial Thearch Myriad Star.
Over the past few years, he had gotten used to sending Seventh Tribulation forbidden creatures to devour middle-level worlds and obtain the treasures accumulated in them. He could no longer stand the other ways of obtaining treasures in the River of Spacetime. That would be too slow. An entire life’s worth of harvests couldn’t even compare to the hundred-plus middle-level worlds he had devoured.
What he devoured weren’t ordinary middle-level inhabited worlds. He chose middle-level inhabited worlds that had produced Seventh Tribulation Eminences.
There are only a few old middle-level inhabited worlds that have produced Seventh Tribulation Eminences. After devouring over 100 of them, the various top factions have probably realized that something is amiss. Celestial Thearch Myriad Star also knew that nobody was a fool. Seventh Tribulation Eminences were even more so! Although he tried his best to conceal the matter, there were too many places that raised the alarm.
For example, there were only over one million medium-sized worlds that had produced Seventh Tribulation Eminences in the entire universe. They had extremely rich heritages. but it was very normal for one or two of them to decline after tens of thousands of years.
Over a hundred had declined over tens of thousands of years ago? This number was clearly abnormal.
Secondly, all living beings in the middle-level worlds that had declined had been wiped out! Logically speaking, Supremacies, Imperial Lords, and Tribulation Eminences could survive in the outer realm. It was very abnormal for all of them to be wiped out. Top factions would discover that something was amiss from a simple investigation.
Although the various factions don’t have sufficient evidence to prove that I did it, they will have their guesses. Celestial Thearch Myriad Star was very calm. Since everyone has their guesses, I’ll do a big one!
His desires grew.
At his cultivation realm, he needed astonishing amounts of treasures if he wanted to rely on external help.
Too many treasures would’ve been expended in a declining world. There’s too little left. Furthermore, I’ve already chosen the ones that are declining. I’ll choose the younger ones amongst those that haven’t declined.
Celestial Thearch Myriad Star finally couldn’t help but attack the young inhabited worlds after devouring 100-plus declining middle-level worlds.
This is it—Deer Celestial Realm. It has only been ten million years since a half-step Eighth Tribulation Eminence died. Most of the treasures are probably still intact. Celestial Thearch Myriad Star’s eyes were cold. This inhabited world is comparable to dozens of the other worlds.
Celestial Thearch Myriad Star had yet to create an Eighth Tribulation body formulation. He had seen an Eighth Tribulation Eminence’s corpse and knew how terrifying an Eighth Tribulation body was—it was like a miniature universe! Creating a physical body formulation was much harder than creating a miniature universe.
A Physical Body Eighth Tribulation Eminence had a lower willpower requirement than an Essence Soul Eighth Tribulation Eminence. They only needed to withstand the tribulation with their bodies, but creating a physical body formulation was too difficult. Among the many half-step Eighth Tribulation Eminences, only one in dozens could create an Eighth Tribulation body.
Celestial Thearch Myriad Star knew very well that… In history, he wasn’t very dazzling when it came to half-step Eighth Tribulation Eminences. His current progress in the physical body formulation made him understand that he probably wouldn’t be able to create a complete formulation by the end of his life!
Since he didn’t want to die in such an abject state, he would risk it! He would use countless treasures and resources to pave his path to the Eighth Tribulation realm.
How good would it be if Hall Lord White Avian didn’t exist in this era? If not for Hall Lord White Avian, the other Seventh Tribulation Eminences would have unknowingly fallen for my schemes.
…
Half a month later.
The dark hall silently arrived at North Celestial River Zone, where Deer Celestial Realm was located. Celestial Thearch Myriad Star was in the dark hall, watching Deer Celestial Realm from afar.
A massive creature opened its mouth and devoured Deer Celestial Realm completely.
The strongest expert in Deer Celestial Realm was at the Fifth Tribulation realm! His true body in his homeworld died instantly. His true body in the outer realm was also personally attacked by Celestial Thearch Myriad Star.
My homeworld. The Fifth Tribulation Eminence’s eyes widened in anger. But when Celestial Thearch Myriad Star attacked, spacetime in the region where the Fifth Tribulation Eminence’s true body was located was isolated. He was annihilated before he could send out any news.
Whoosh~
“Celestial Thearch.”
The black-robed figure followed his perception of the Life Core and easily arrived at the dark hall to meet Celestial Thearch Myriad Star.
“There are all the treasures in Deer Celestial Realm.” The black-robed figure respectfully handed over a pagoda, his eyes burning. “Celestial Thearch, when will you take action next?”
The middle-level world he devoured was very young and delicious; it made him feel stronger.
“There’s no rush.” Celestial Thearch Myriad Star flipped his hand and took out an ancient, damaged cup. “Have a rest.”
The black-robed figure didn’t dare disobey as he transformed into a stream of light and flew into the incomplete wine cup.
This harvest… Celestial Thearch Myriad Star looked at the treasures in the pagoda. After checking them, his eyes couldn’t help but light up. They are comparable to 30% of what I’ve accumulated over the years! The worlds that have a recently dead half-step Eighth Tribulation Eminence have plenty of treasures.
I’ve accumulated enough. I can offer another sacrifice. Celestial Thearch Myriad Star was excited about his harvest, but he knew that devouring a declining world and a young world would cause a different reaction in the other factions.
I’ll wait and see what the various factions’ reactions are. Celestial Thearch Myriad Star’s eyes were cold. He was confident that the various factions were only making guesses at most. They didn’t have complete evidence that he had taken action.
…
In front of a bamboo forest lake.
Realm Ancestor sat in front of the lake and fished. He looked at the countless spacetime scenes in the lake. Inhabited worlds appeared in various spacetime regions.
All the inhabited worlds that had produced half-step Eighth Tribulation Eminences were under surveillance.
Whoosh.
Realm Ancestor was fishing when he looked at one spot. His expression changed slightly. Deer Celestial Realm?
The spacetime around Deer Celestial Realm was suddenly isolated. He could no longer observe or head over.
Even I can’t see it? It’s him again? Realm Ancestor’s expression was solemn. With his attainments in spacetime and the lake treasure, only the two half-step Eighth Tribulation Eminences could hide the spacetime around Deer Celestial Realm from him.
Soon, the area of spacetime returned to normal. However, Deer Celestial Realm had vanished! The void it had been in was empty.
Nothing was left.
Deer Celestial Realm is gone. This is a very young inhabited world that was born only a billion years ago.
His desires are getting greater and greater. As he gets closer to the end of his lifespan, his desires will become more and more terrifying. Realm Ancestor’s expression was cold. At the same time, his Essence Soul avatars investigated through many channels. The three current Tribulation Eminences in Deer Celestial Realm, including the Fifth Tribulation Eminence, were all dead.
…
As a newly-advanced Essence Soul Seventh Tribulation Eminence, Meng Chuan led a very peaceful life.
He had previously been targeting Black Fiend Hall. However, after Black Fiend Hall silently abandoned all large-scale massacres, Meng Chuan became even more free. He focused all his attention on cultivation.
Heaven Splitting! Meng Chuan had an Essence Soul avatar in front of Holy Mountain of Painting. He continued painting the Heaven Splitting Painting.
He used the six-stroke runic seal mystic technique to observe spacetime. He could see Clear Spring Island extremely clearly.
When he cultivated elsewhere, he felt like a mortal looking at a lake from afar. He felt that the lake was as flat as a mirror. But cultivating on Clear Spring Island was like a mortal standing by a lake and looking at it nearby. He could see faint ripples on the surface of the lake.
Clear Spring Island allowed Meng Chuan to use the six-stroke Seal Art to clearly observe the spacetime circulation and the Heaven Splitting law.
Therefore, he painted!
He could pry into the profundities of the Heaven Splitting law from the Eternal treasure seal. He could also paint it!
The paintings on Holy Mountain of Painting also had a Heaven Splitting law painting. He had also copied it!
With the six-stroke runic seal—a mystic technique that allowed him to view everything—his cultivation speed was much faster. His Heaven Splitting law improved rapidly, allowing him to advance by leaps and bounds… Meng Chuan felt that if this continued, he might be able to grasp the Heaven Splitting law in one go.
“Meng Chuan.” A message came.
Realm Ancestor. Meng Chuan stopped cultivating. He still respected Realm Ancestor very much.
“Tomorrow, I will invite all my friends to a gathering at Nebula Palace. Please come,” said Realm Ancestor.
Meng Chuan was shocked. Realm Ancestor is inviting friends from all over?
“Definitely,” replied Meng Chuan without any hesitation.
