Chapter 512 Primordial Stone Transformation

Meng Chuan carefully examined the Primordial Stone.

He couldn’t find any runes on the small piece of rock despite employing every mean at his disposal.

When Meng Chuan attained a seventh-level Essence Soul, he gained microscopic vision. Even a tiny particle could appear bigger than a Grand Yang Star. However, when Meng Chuan looked at the Primordial Stone, its surface didn’t change at all despite it being magnified by a billion-fold! Looking at it had him making the same conclusion as feeling the Primordial Stone in his palm-it was smooth!

There were no blemishes on the surface, nor any runes. It was also unbelievably tough. A Seventh Tribulation Eminence could use a Grand Yang Star-which spanned over 50 million kilometers—as a toy. However, even after attacking at full strength, they still wouldn’t be able to damage the Primordial Stone.

Primordial Stones even had the Eternal characteristic. This meant that even time couldn’t wear it down.

My dantian’s Chaos Hole is extremely eager to devour it. Meng Chuan held the Primordial Stone and attempted to absorb its strength. However, he was unable to absorb any energy from it, even when he used his Chaos Hole Quintessential Essence and Power of Essence Soul.

Is my dantian’s chaos hole to devour it directly?

His body could instantly fuse back together after disintegrating, so Meng Chuan wasn’t worried about the danger. However, the Primordial Stone was extremely precious. He was also afraid that bad changes would occur to his Chaos Hole if it did devour the stone directly. After all, the Chaos Hole was his Chaos Hole realm’s core...

Meng Chuan used all his means to examine the Primordial Stone for seven consecutive days.

“Eternal characteristic,” muttered Meng Chuan softly. “I’ve tried everything. I’ve placed it in an accelerated time flow and a normal time flow. I’ve struck it at near light speed. I’ve even made it fly at speeds close to light speed. However, this Primordial Stone forever remains the same every time! No matter what I do, it doesn’t experience any changes.”

As wind blew, ripples would appear on a water surface.

When an object flew at high speeds, changes would also occur to its body. For example, the temperature caused by friction or the pressure caused by moving at high speeds would change the object’s structure slightly.

Time was even more mysterious. Even powerful Tribulation treasures would change in the face of time, albeit slowly. They would eventually decay and become damaged.

Everything experienced change. This was supposed to be a universal law. However, the Primordial Stone remained unchanged.

It was... eternal.

So this is the Eternal characteristic? The Primordial remains the same eternally? Meng Chuan stared at the Primordial Stone’s surface, which had a faint luster. Meng Chuan noticed that light reflected by the Primordial Stone was unique. After all, no object had a surface as perfect as the Primordial Stone’s. Therefore, the Primordial Stone’s reflected light made Meng Chuan infatuated.

Even after examining the stone for seven days, he was still attracted by this luster.

Forget it. Apart from devouring it, I have no other option. Meng Chuan no longer hesitated as a dark Chaos Hole domain appeared in his palm.

The dark Chaos Hole in his palm devoured the Primordial Stone.

It had been seven days since he obtained the Primordial Stone.

For the past seven days, his dantian’s Chaos Hole had constantly yearned for it. His instincts kept telling him to devour it. However, Meng Chuan had forcefully suppressed himself for seven days. At this moment, Meng Chuan finally stopped suppressing his urges and absorbed the Primordial Stone into his body by following his instincts.

Most cultivators’ instincts usually dictated the best path one should take.

Swoosh.

The Primordial Stone was instantly sucked into his dantian.

A Chaos Hole appeared in his dantian. Out of caution, he temporarily removed the Spatial Pagoda, Bloodblade Disc, Fiend Prison, and other items from his dantian space and placed them beside him.

Whoosh.

The tiny Primordial Stone flew into his dantian space and entered the chaos hole silently.

Changes soon began to occur.

Huh? Meng Chuan vaguely felt an invisible force spread out from his dantian and into every part of his body. Every particle in his body underwent a magical transformation.

Furthermore, the Chaos Hole in his dantian began to absorb the outside world’s energy.

I’m suddenly absorbing energy? Meng Chuan was taken aback. He was experiencing the same thing when he broke through from the Seamless realm to the Chaos Hole realm, and from the Chaos Hole realm’s early stage to the middle stage—his body was taking the initiative to absorb the outside world’s energy.

At that moment, his body was taking the initiative to absorb energy. His dantian was extremely hungry.

I have plenty of Outer Realm Essence Crystals. Let’s see how many you can absorb. Meng Chuan waved his hand and took out an Outer Realm Essence Crystal. He had more than 3,000 Outer Realm Essence Crystals. They were enough to produce an ordinary Sixth Tribulation Eminence, so he was naturally extremely calm. Chi! Chi! Chi!

Meng Chuan projected his Chaos Hole domain outwards and had it envelop the Outer Realm Essence Crystal in his hand. The Outer Realm Essence Crystal slowly turned to dust at a visible speed. His body constantly sucked the surging energy. In just a few seconds, one Outer Realm Essence Crystal had been completely devoured.

This is an Outer Realm Essence Crystal! A normal Imperial Lord only needs ten Outer Realm Essence Crystals for a breakthrough. Meng Chuan was shocked, but he hurriedly took out another Outer Realm Essence Crystal from the Spatial Pagoda beside him.

Previously, his Chaos Hole seemed to be underdeveloped.

After absorbing the Primordial Stone, it now began changing qualitatively. Even the total amount of energy it had absorbed was extremely astonishing! His dantian’s Chaos Hole only stopped absorbing external energies after devouring 18 Outer Realm Essence Crystals and a half-cube of Outer Realm Essence Crystal.

During the absorption process, Meng Chuan’s body constantly changed. The mysterious energy changed every particle of his body; it had completely changed his body. At this moment, the transformation process had also completely stopped. The Primordial Stone in my dantian hasn’t been completely devoured. There’s still some left. With a thought, the Primordial Stonewhich had shrunk greatly in the depths of his dantian- flew out. It quickly reached Meng Chuan’s palm. His dantian’s Chaos Hole was no longer hungry. Only a finger-sized Primordial Stone remained.

It was still round and smooth. However, it was 80% smaller than before! Nothing else had changed.

Other than the Myriad Star Refinement Art recorded by Ancestral Master Archean Eon, a Godfiend can also absorb Primordial Stones once they reach the Chaos Hole realm. Meng Chuan was somewhat astonished by this fact. It was very difficult to make a Primordial Stone disintegrate because of its Eternal characteristic. However, a Godfiend who reached the Chaos Hole realm could absorb the stone like it was only nourishment.

To reach the Sage Becoming realm and the Mythical realm, one needs many Cosmos Crystals. My Chaos Hole also requires Primordial Stones to grow. It’s just that I prepared a little more than needed. Just 80% of this Primordial Stone was enough.

I wonder if I’ll still need Primordial Stones once I reach the Imperial Lord realm? Meng Chuan pondered this question.

One didn’t require a large number of Cosmos Crystals to reach the Cosmos Body cultivation system’s Sage Becoming realm. However, one needed an astonishing number of Cosmos Crystals to reach the Mythical realm.

If he had to follow the same ratio, how many Primordial Stones did he need to become an Imperial Lord? At that moment, Meng Chuan felt like the treasures left behind by Eminence Pang Ming might not be enough for his expenses.

If I hadn’t seen the Primordial Stone during this Treasure Auction, I wouldn’t have known its uses. Meng Chuan sighed. As the first pioneer of an unknown cultivation realm, he had to figure out everything about it himself.

Chaos Hole Quintessential Essence. With a thought, Meng Chuan’s fingertip produced lightning-like Quintessential Essence.

Meng Chuan frowned slightly. The purity of my Quintessential Essence hasn’t changed. He could clearly sense that special changes had occurred in his dantian and body after absorbing the mysterious energy. However, his Chaos Hole Quintessential Essence remained the same.

Hum.

With a thought

The Chaos Hole domain spread out. Meng Chuan-who was sitting cross-legged-was surrounded by darkness.

My Chaos Hole domain has become much stronger. Meng Chuan could sense that his domain had changed qualitatively. The pressure and repulsive force exerted by his domain had increased significantly.

Meng Chuan experimented for six hours.

After absorbing 80% of the Primordial Stone and many Outer Realm Essence Crystals, he realized that his body had changed greatly. His Chaos Hole Quintessential Essence’s purity was the only thing that hadn’t changed. On the other hand, he had about ten times more Quintessential Essence in his body. His Chaos Hole domain’s strength had also increased significantly. It was roughly three times stronger than before.

Meng Chuan’s body was also extremely tough now. It was like a weapon. Although his speed hadn’t changed much, his physical strength had increased by dozens of times. Meng Chuan estimated that he could match a late-stage Imperial Lord with just brute strength alone.

In other words, my long-range attacks haven’t improved at all. However, my close combat prowess has become very strong. My body is comparable to a magical treasure. Pfft! Pfft! Pfft! Pfft! Pfft! Pfft! historical

His Bloodblades began to execute the Infinite Saber Art—which had reached the Grotto-Heaven realm’s middle stage. They rapidly accelerated and struck Meng Chuan’s body furiously. Meng Chuan didn’t use his Chaos Hole domain or his Body-Protecting Peacock Robe to block the Bloodblades. He just withstood them with his body alone. The Bloodblades—now streams of light-shot towards Meng Chuan.

Sparks flew off Meng Chuan’s skin, but he remained unharmed.

This toughness reminded Meng Chuan of the Primordial Stone.

My dantian’s Chaos Hole is a huge burden on my body. When I had broken through to the Chaos Hole realm, I had to transform every particle space in my body into a miniature Chaos Hole. I had to strengthen my body greatly before I could complete the breakthrough successfully and withstand the Chaos Hole in my dantian.

As for the Primordial Stone, it has transformed my body greatly. My Chaos Hole has become much stronger. I also have ten times more Quintessential Essence now.

Meng Chuan had a vague feeling that a powerful body was the Chaos Hole realm’s foundation. Only by having a solid foundation could he advance further.
