Chapter 585 Cave Lord Scenic Cloud’s Decision

The huge saber beam condensed from the black-and-white fog descended from the sky and silently struck Cave Lord Scenic Cloud’s body. It sliced right through, splitting him into two. However, the wound on Cave Lord Scenic Cloud’s massive body liquefied like flowing water. Soon, it connected back as one.

This strike managed to truly injure him. When Meng Chuan split his opponent into two, he could sense it very clearly. However, it only consumed a portion of his strength. I’m afraid it will take hundreds of strikes to kill him. If he has a treasure that can recover his strength and his body... it will take much longer.

Cave Lord Scenic Cloud’s body was too strong. He had the most terrifying body Meng Chuan had ever seen at the Fifth Tribulation realm. With a body cultivated by three Fifth Tribulation spatial lineage laws, even a true Sixth Tribulation Eminence would take more than ten moves to destroy it. The saber beam condensed by Meng Chuan’s Yin-Yang Grand World Array was still much weaker than a true Sixth Tribulation Eminence.

Whoosh.

A new saber beam condensed in the sky. The array formation couldn’t condense a saber beam as fast as Meng Chuan, but it could deliver about one strike every second. Saber beams destroyed Cave Lord Scenic Cloud’s massive body repeatedly.

Even if I have many defensive treasures and can instantly recover to my peak state, I will still use up all my treasures in a few hours. Cave Lord Scenic Cloud understood this point. His massive body was bound by black-and-white chains. He couldn’t struggle or dodge. He felt like he was being tortured by the saber beams that came cleaving down. He was furious and helpless.

When roaming the outer realm, one would encounter unexpected events. For example, a terrifying, mighty figure could suddenly appear when dealing with a trivial figure. For example, one might suddenly encounter a forbidden existence when plundering cultivators.

With Cave Lord Scenic Cloud’s strength, it was very easy for him to deal with City Lord Eastcalm-a Fifth Tribulation Eminence. Who knew that his opponent had already secretly set up a powerful array formation on Snake Fiend Star, a place where he thought was safe.

I lost. I, Scenic Cloud, will lose half of the treasures I have accumulated over 50,000 years. Cave Lord Scenic Cloud felt his heart ache. His two true bodies were located in different river zones. The treasures they each held were comparable.

With his strength, it was typically very difficult for him to die if he didn’t provoke a Sixth Tribulation Eminence.

It will take several hours to kill his true body completely. Meng Chuan just needed to use the array formation to send several saber beams down before he understood this point. Immediately, a stream of light flew out from his body. The stream of light transformed into a black-robed, white-haired Meng Chuan-an Essence Soul avatar.

My Essence Soul avatar will first head to Warped Cloud River System and observe Cave Lord Scenic Cloud’s lair. Meng Chuan made a decision. Immediately, the Essence Soul avatar flew towards the spacetime hole.

It was difficult to see the interior of a spacetime hole from the outside. He could only feel that spacetime here was extremely distorted.

Swoosh.

Meng Chuan’s Essence Soul avatar flew in.

This is the first time I’m entering a spacetime hole. Meng Chuan’s Essence Soul avatar flew into the spacetime hole and saw the scene inside. It was as though the vast spacetime had been compressed and stacked together. It appeared ridiculous and strange.

In less than three seconds, he passed through the spacetime hole and arrived in the ordinary outer realm void.

When he flew out, Meng Chuan saw a massive planet that spanned five million kilometers.

Scenic Cloud Planet. Meng Chuan looked at the planet. This was the lair of Warped Cloud River System’s Eight-Headed Star Swallowing Snake branch. It was also Cave Lord Scenic Cloud’s cultivation ground.

“Leave!”

“Leave quickly!” “Evacuate Scenic Cloud Planet.”

“Quick, quick, quick.”

At this moment, Scenic Cloud Star was in a state of panic. Eight-Headed Star Swallowing Snakes were flying out. Some crushed Lesser Void Transference Talismans and instantly left. The ignorant Eight-Headed Star Swallowing Snake infants were somewhat puzzled as they slowly flew. With their flying speed, it would take them a long time to fly out of Scenic Cloud Planet.

Cave Lord Scenic Cloud’s Essence Soul avatar stood on a mountain and watched everything coldly.

Boom!

The illusory Essence Soul World descended and corroded Scenic Cloud Planet’s array formation.

He’s here? Cave Lord Scenic Cloud’s Essence Soul avatar looked up but didn’t resist.

This was only a seventh-level Essence Soul avatar. It was weak and could only exist within the same river zone as his true body. A seventh-level Essence Soul’s Power of Essence Soul was unable to activate Scenic Cloud Planet’s array formation. As for the other Eight-Headed Star Swallowing Snakes, their cultivation realms were too low. They couldn’t use the array formation. He could only allow Meng Chuan’s Essence Soul World to attack them.

In the blink of an eye, Scenic Cloud Planet’s array formation was breached!

The illusory world spread out for 1.5 million kilometers as void fluctuations enveloped tens of millions of kilometers! They grabbed the Eight-Headed Star Swallowing Snakes.

“No!” Many Eight-Headed Star Swallowing Snakes revealed looks of despair.

“What happened?”

“What’s going on?” Many Eight-Headed Star Swallowing Snake infants were alarmed and puzzled. Some of them had yet to escape far from Scenic Cloud Planet. At most, they were still flying in its vicinity.

The black-robed, white-haired Meng Chuan stood in midair above Scenic Cloud Planet. He sensed the area. I was too slow. There are only five Tribulation-level Eight-Headed Star Swallowing Snakes left. The rest are Imperial Lords and Supremacies.

Most Eight-Headed Star Swallowing Snakes were selfish. After receiving Cave Lord Scenic Cloud’s orders, they immediately used various means to escape in the shortest time possible.

Scenic Cloud Planet was huge. It spanned five million kilometers! If they wanted to bring along some young Eight-Headed Star Swallowing Snakes with them, it would take them a lot of time. They might lose the chance to escape if they were delayed by mere seconds.

For example, the five Eight-Headed Star Swallowing Snakes—who were at the Tribulation realm-wanted to bring more of their clansmen with them. In the end, they failed to escape. Meng Chuan’s illusory world had descended.

“Eastcalm, aren’t you going overboard?” Cave Lord Scenic Cloud’s Essence Soul avatar flew over and stared at Meng Chuan. “Are you trying to implicate these weak clansmen in our battle? Some of them were just born not long ago.”

“Five Tribulation Eminences, 32 Imperial Lords, and 263 Supremacies.” Meng Chuan nodded slightly. “Some are indeed newly born.”

Eight-Headed Star Swallowing Snakes were born in the outer realm at the Supremacy realm.

Considering it was a lair guarded by Cave Lord Scenic Cloud, many Eight-Headed Star Swallowing Snakes gathered here. Many Eight-Headed Star Swallowing Snakes rushed over because of its fame. With Cave Lord Scenic Cloud protecting them, it was naturally very safe.

Scenic Cloud Planet was the largest Eight-Headed Star Swallowing Snake lair in the entire Goddess River Zone.

For example, Scarlet Snake Planet had dozens of Fifth Tribulation Eminences under its command! It became the Scarlet Snake species’ largest lair in the entire River of Spacetime.

The more powerful a species’ expert, the more of its kind gathered in one place. This time...

Many of the Eight-Headed Star Swallowing Snakes’ Tribulation Eminences and Imperial Lords had fled, but Meng Chuan had also captured many. Most of them were weaker Supremacies.

“Release them.” Cave Lord Scenic Cloud’s Essence Soul avatar looked at Meng Chuan. “I’ll give you all my true body’s treasures. I’ll also guarantee that I won’t cross you again.”

“You won’t cross me any longer?” Meng Chuan looked at him.

“If you kill my clansmen, I, Scenic Cloud, swear that I will fight you for the rest of my life. The entire Three Bay River System will not have peace.” Cave Lord Scenic Cloud stared at Meng Chuan.

Meng Chuan looked at him and smiled slightly. “Are you threatening me? Cave Lord Scenic Cloud, think about it carefully. It was your Eight-Headed Star Swallowing Snake species that extended its claws into the Three Bay River System. After plundering Three Bay River System for tens of thousands of years, I’m only demanding payment for Three Bay River System’s blood debt. Are you the only one allowed to slaughter and plunder? Are cultivators not allowed to take revenge?”

Cave Lord Scenic Cloud said solemnly, “Only a small number of people have plundered. Many weak Eight-Headed Star Swallowing Snakes here have never plundered, especially those at the Supremacy realm. These weak Eight-Headed Star Swallowing Snakes are innocent, right?”

“I’ll take all of them away,” said Meng Chuan. “I’ll decide whether they are killed or kept alive... As for you spending the rest of your life fighting me, give me your best shot!”

Fight with him? The present him was no longer afraid of the other party.

He had gained a lot from studying the Void Catalog’s third volume. Once his Cloud Dragon Snake Movement Technique reached the Fifth Tribulation realm, he believed that he could grasp a law at the Sixth Tribulation.

When that happened, killing Cave Lord Scenic Cloud would be easy.

Snake Fiend Star.

Cave Lord Scenic Cloud, who was bound by the black-and-white chains, endured the descending saber beams. His eight heads stared at Meng Chuan as he said, “City Lord Eastcalm, I plan on making a deal with you.” His voice echoed throughout Snake Fiend Star.

“Deal?” Meng Chuan temporarily stopped his saber beams.

“I’ll follow and serve you for 10,000 years,” said Cave Lord Scenic Cloud. “With this as a price, spare my fellow clansmen and my true body.”

“If I kill you, I’ll probably reap great benefits,” said Meng Chuan. “With your strength, this true body should have at least tens of thousands of cubes worth of treasures. As for followers? I’m not in urgent need of one.”

“I’ll offer another 30,000 cubes of treasures.” Cave Lord Scenic Cloud stared at Meng Chuan. As a special lifeform, Cave Lord Scenic Cloud had a relatively long lifespan. After reaching the Fifth Tribulation realm, he had a lifespan of more than 70,000 years. He still had 20,000 years left to live.

He was already making a huge sacrifice by saying that he would follow Meng Chuan for 10,000 years. As for treasures? He was considered extremely powerful at the Fifth Tribulation realm and had lived for a long time. He had accumulated several times more treasures than Pang Ming. Just the treasures he carried on his true body were worth nearly 50,000 cubes.

“Give me 30,000 cubes?” Meng Chuan looked at the massive Eight-Headed Star Swallowing Snake. A follower that was powerful enough could be of much use. There was no need for him to handle many trivial matters personally. He could focus more on his cultivation. He immediately said, “I don’t care about anything else. Hand over all the Eight-Headed Star Swallowing Snakes that plundered Three Bay River System to me.”

“They fled back to Warped Cloud River System. You’ve already captured a portion of them,” said Cave Lord Scenic Cloud coldly. “A portion of them fled. I’ll capture them as well. However... the two strongest Fourth Tribulation Eminences are scattered in different distant river zones. I can’t capture them.”

“In other words, other than the two strongest Fourth Tribulation Eminences, you’ll leave the rest to me?” Meng Chuan looked at him.Cave Lord Scenic Cloud nodded. He could tolerate handing over more than ten Eight-Headed Star Swallowing Snakes.

As for the 300 Eight-Headed Star Swallowing Snakes that Meng Chuan had captured, they represented the vast majority in his lair! It was difficult for Eight-Headed Star Swallowing Snakes to reproduce. Cave Lord Scenic Cloud couldn’t just watch as all of them were handed over to Meng Chuan. On the other hand, he also wanted to protect a special treasure that his true body carried. He could give the other treasures-worth 30,000 cubes when converted—to Meng Chuan. The special treasure was very important for his cultivation. He didn’t want to give it up. historical

For many reasons, he had made this choice. This was the greatest price he could bear. Meng Chuan pondered for a moment. He had never thought of slaughtering all Eight-Headed Star Swallowing Snakes. Just like there were all sorts of ordinary cultivators, there were also many kinds of Eight-Headed Star Swallowing Snakes. Only a small portion of them liked plundering. Some focused on cultivating on the planet and ignored the outside world while others liked taking risks. Otherwise, there wouldn’t have been just over ten Eight-Headed Star Swallowing Snakes plundering Three Bay River System.

Meng Chuan looked at Cave Lord Scenic Cloud. “I agree to your conditions.”

Cave Lord Scenic Cloud’s eight heads were slightly taken aback. His expression was complicated as he bowed his head. “Greetings, City Lord.”
