Chapter 715: Swallowing a Middle-Level World

Black Fiend Hall headquarters.

In a hall, an image appeared in a mirror. Realm Ancestor accompanied Meng Chuan into Planet Blackjade, and Meng Chuan began refining its array formation.

Hall Master Nightmare watched silently.

“Stop looking. No one can do anything if Realm Ancestor takes the initiative to give it to Meng Chuan,” said Lord of Li Rainbow as he read a dossier.

“In the past, I’ve always respected Realm Ancestor quite a bit. I wasn’t willing to offend him. But in his old age, he has given the treasured lands he occupies to his many friends, but he’s unwilling to give one to me.” Hall Master Nightmare’s voice was cold. “Before Meng Chuan broke through, there were only three Essence Soul Seventh Tribulation Eminences in existence. Origin Realm Chieftain has greater ambitions, so I was the only one who was suited to take over his treasured lands. However, he didn’t give a single one to me.”

“We’ve already fallen out with each other. What’s the point of saying all this?” Lord of Li Rainbow said indifferently.

Hall Master Nightmare fell silent. As an Essence Soul Seventh Tribulation Eminence, he wielded the legacy treasure, Nightmare Hall. His influence in the River of Spacetime was immense. He used force whenever soft tactics didn’t work. He had previously threatened Realm Ancestor. “Realm Ancestor, you are powerful, but you have to consider your homeworld and clansmen after you die.”

This infuriated Realm Ancestor, who sparked off a huge battle.

Hall Master Nightmare didn’t flinch at all as he battled Realm Ancestor. Many Seventh Tribulation Eminences interfered; both sides had their fair share of friends.

Hall Master Nightmare was young after all. He usually kept a low profile, but his social network was much stronger than Lord of Li Rainbow’s. Even a top Seventh Tribulation Eminence supported Hall Master Nightmare.

However, Realm Ancestor clearly had more good friends! Realm Ancestor was also stronger. In that battle... Realm Ancestor’s side had the absolute advantage. However, Hall Master Nightmare was an Essence Soul Seventh Tribulation Eminence. His Essence Soul avatar condensed again after its death, so he didn’t suffer much.

Many branches of Black Fiend Hall were destroyed by the furious Realm Ancestor. Even so, Hall Master Nightmare didn’t care.

“Planet Blackjade has become Meng Chuan’s just like that.” Hall Master Nightmare had mixed feelings. He had tried to curry favor with Realm Ancestor, but all his methods—both soft and hard—were useless.

Instead, Realm Ancestor took the initiative to give Meng Chuan a gift.

Does he look down on me that much?

“We are plagued with sins after we joined Black Fiend Hall.” Lord of Li Rainbow was very calm. “It’s very normal for some Seventh Tribulation Eminences to view us as enemies. However, there are gains and losses. I control Black Fiend Hall, and you control Nightmare Hall. This is a much greater opportunity than Planet Blackjade.”

Hall Master Nightmare admitted this.

A top faction like Eternal Tower had existed for countless years because it was guarded by the Eye of Eternal.

Black Fiend Hall had two legacy treasures—Black Fiend Hall and Nightmare Hall. To Seventh Tribulation Eminences, they were no less useful than Eternal treasures. Unfortunately, they only had the right to use them! These two legacy treasures ultimately belonged to Black Fiend Hall’s owner. This was also one of the reasons why no faction wanted to vie for Black Fiend Hall and Nightmare Hall.

...

Shroud River Zone, Anbo River System, Zhan Cloud Realm.

Zhan Cloud Realm was an ancient, medium-sized world. It had existed for 9.3 billion years. Even for a medium-sized world, it had existed for too long. It had become extremely old, and it wasn’t far from being destroyed.

An inhabited world couldn’t be eternal. There were births, barbaric periods, and prosperous periods... However, they would ultimately decline and be destroyed.

“What a ridiculous inhabited world.” A black-robed figure looked at the middle-level world. Their gaze penetrated the world membrane and peeped at the living beings inside.

To mortals who lived in Zhan Cloud Realm, the world’s aging was too distant for them. Even if the world only had a few hundred thousand years left to live, it was very long for mortals. Zhan Cloud Realm was still extremely prosperous; countless family clans and factions lived a life of debauchery.

Their cultivation system was also very advanced and perfected. In history, Zhan Cloud Realm had produced one Seventh Tribulation Eminence and 15 Sixth Tribulation Eminences. Their heritage was naturally extremely deep.

Even though the world had declined, there was still one Tribulation Eminence, five Imperial Lords, and over 100 Supremacies.

Whoosh.

The black-robed figure suddenly dissipated as a dark, massive creature appeared. Its gaping mouth was even more terrifying than a Dark Chaos Hole. It devoured the entirety of Zhan Cloud Realm with a single bite. The spacetime law’s protection of an inhabited world was useless against a Seventh Tribulation forbidden creature.

Countless living beings in Zhan Cloud Realm were horrified to discover that space had been torn apart, revealing endless darkness. Following that, the darkness completely drowned them.

There was a Third Tribulation Eminence just outside Zhan Cloud Realm, as well as a number of Imperial Lord and Supremacy true bodies.

However, this devouring strike destroyed all living beings. It also destroyed the outer realm true bodies of the Tribulation Eminence and Imperial Lords through karma.

All living beings in Zhan Cloud Realm were completely wiped out.

Zhan Cloud Realm itself vanished.

Whoosh.

Having devoured the entirety of Zhan Cloud Realm, the massive figure was extremely comfortable.

Unfortunately, this inhabited world is too old and weak. It doesn’t taste good enough, thought the behemoth. Weak lifeforms of this inhabited world, don’t blame me. The one who really killed you is the Eminence of your universe. It’s fratricide!

The massive figure silently vanished.

Other than the disappearance of an inhabited world, nothing else changed in the void.

The disappearance of Zhan Cloud Realm didn’t cause any commotion.

In the vast River of Spacetime, hatred and killings were everywhere. Tribulation Eminences and Imperial Lords often died. No one cared about the deaths of a Third Tribulation Eminence and a few Imperial Lords.

As for the disappearance of Zhan Cloud Realm? Wasn’t it normal for an aging world to be destroyed?

...

In a dark hall.

Celestial Thearch Myriad Star sat cross-legged as he lit an incense stick.

Whoosh.

A black-robed figure arrived in the dark hall and bowed respectfully to Celestial Thearch Myriad Star.

“Celestial Thearch, these are the treasures in Zhan Cloud Realm. All the precious treasures are here.” The black-robed figure respectfully handed a pagoda to Celestial Thearch Myriad Star.

Celestial Thearch Myriad Star reached out to take the pagoda and carefully inspected it. He couldn’t help but frown. “Most of the treasures left behind by Zhan Cloud Realm’s ancestors have been used up. What’s left is only ten million cubes. How poor.”

This harvest dissatisfied Celestial Thearch Myriad Star.

“You didn’t devour the treasures, did you?” Celestial Thearch Myriad Star looked up at the black-robed figure, his eyes cold. Although he had been watching the entire process of the Seventh Tribulation forbidden creature devouring Zhan Cloud Realm—even to the point of helping conceal spacetime—it would be very difficult for him to find out if a Seventh Tribulation forbidden creature had secretly devoured a precious treasure that might be too attractive.

“I wouldn’t dare,” the black-robed figure said immediately. It was extremely afraid of Celestial Thearch Myriad Star.

Celestial Thearch Myriad Star looked at it and finally flipped his hand to produce an ancient, damaged cup. “You can rest now.”

“Yes.” The black-robed figure didn’t dare to disobey. Celestial Thearch Myriad Star controlled its Life Core, so its life and death were in its hands. With a thought, he could destroy its consciousness.

The black-robed figure immediately transformed into a stream of light and flew into the cup.

Celestial Thearch Myriad Star casually put away the wine cup and looked into the distance. He saw Meng Chuan refining Planet Blackjade’s array formation. Realm Ancestor was accompanying him.

Realm Ancestor gave Planet Blackjade to Meng Chuan? Celestial Thearch Myriad Star watched from afar expressionlessly.
