Chapter 498: 498

Chapter 498 Owner of the Cave Abode

In the blink of an eye, three months had passed .

Meng Chuan sat cross-legged on the desolate mountain hill . Behind him was an endless void .

It’s been three months . I’ve investigated the cave abode 30 times . Meng Chuan looked at the ancient cave abode . From the looks of it, no matter how I attempt to enter the cave abode

—be it from the main entrance, courtyard walls, ceiling, underground, etc . — I will be trapped in the void cage once I enter it . With my current realm, I can’t crack the void cage .

If I attack from the main entrance or from outside the cave abode, the White Star Ore will collide with an unknown object after it enters the cave abode . When I was trapped in the void cage, I attacked in every direction, but I received no response from the White Star Ores after they flew out .

After experiencing so many situations, I can determine that the void cage array formation doesn’t activate when a weapon flies into the cave abode . It allows a weapon to attack . If a living being enters, the void cage array formation will immediately activate and imprison the living being . Meng Chuan revealed a smile . I know how to crack the array formation .

With a thought

Swoosh! Swoosh!

Two dark Essence Soul avatars flew out simultaneously . This was the first time Meng Chuan had used two Essence Soul avatars .

Whoosh .

The two Essence Soul avatars arrived above the cave abode .

Swoosh .

SI

One of the Essence Soul avatars instantly swooped down and flew into the cave abode below . White fog filled the area; the Essence Soul avatar that flew in was trapped within the void cage . It was killed by a large number of sword beams . Due to the changed time flow and the Cloud Dragon Snake Movement Technique, Meng Chuan’s Essence Soul avatar dodged the void cage for a moment before the sword beams stopped .

Meng Chuan’s Essence Soul avatar ended up trapped in the void cage .

The void cage below has been activated . Meng Chuan’s other Essence Soul avatar looked down from the sky . If I attack now, I won’t be attacking an unknown object, but the void cage .

He waved his hand .

His Chaos Hole Quintessential Essence carried a White Star Ore and transformed into a stream of light . It rushed towards the void cage that had formed .

The greatest flaw of an ownerless array formation is its source of strength . The outer realm’s powers are even more violent than the Heaven and Earth powers in an inhabited world . Even Regis Godfiends are unable to refine the outer realm’s powers .

Even if they hide in a safe place, they will ‘starve to death . ’ Therefore, when I’m attacking from afar, this array formation would rather resist them . This is because this stable spatial resistance is less draining . As long as the void cage array formation is activated, energy will be consumed . The void cage’s defense against is much greater than normal spatial resistance . It’s normal for it to consume ten times more energy . Thus, all I need to do is deliver a powerful blow . It has to be so powerful that it consumes all the energy in this cave abode’s array formation . Without energy, the array formation will just be a joke . Meng Chuan was filled with confidence . Come on .

The levitating Meng Chuan immediately controlled the White Star Ore and began accelerating it!

In a second, it traveled 5,000 kilometers, 10,000 kilometers, 15,000 kilometers…

The White Star Ore accelerated in the 500-kilometer-wide region around him . The resistance from the outer realm’s void was negligible . The White Star Ore’s speed increased .

Meng Chuan didn’t accelerate the White Star Ore by changing the flow of time . This was because the White Sar Ore would only hit its target at its actual speed when it struck . It’s actual speed represented the impact’s power . Without altering the flow of time, he could save his Chaos Hole Quintessential Essence .

When the White Star Ore’s speed increased to a terrifying 175,000 kilometers per second, Meng Chuan could barely make the White Star Ore fly around him in circles, even with his Chaos Hole Quintessential Essence controlling it . He couldn’t control it any more precisely .

“Go . ” The White Star Ore—which had reached a terrifying speed-suddenly flew towards the cave abode like a burning meteor .

If such a terrifying might struck Meng Chuan, even his body would have exploded into pieces! However, one had to accelerate for a long time before they could reach such speeds in the outer realm . At such high speeds, control also became increasingly difficult . In a life-and-death situation, nobody would give their opponent time to accelerate their attacks . Furthermore, they could dodge these attacks easily .

Rumble!

The meteor-like White Star Ore flew into the cave abode’s void cage . The void cage tried its best to weaken the blow, but it still produced a rumbling sound . The other Essence Soul avatar trapped in the cage could clearly hear it . He could sense the entire void trembling .

Very good . Just as I expected, the relatively weak void cage will consume even more energy when resisting a sufficiently powerful attack’s impact .

Continue .

Meng Chuan’s Essence Soul avatar shot one White Star Ore after another . After shooting out 122 pieces of White Star Ores, the Essence Soul avatar flew back to Meng Chuan’s true body and replenished its Chaos Hole Quintessential Essence .

The consumption of Chaos Hole Quintessential Essence is too great . Meng Chuan sat cross-legged as he absorbed the outer realm’s violent powers with all his might . The Chaos Hole in his dantian constantly absorbed the external powers and turned it into Chaos Hole Quintessential Essence .

Back in my homeworld, I wantonly absorbed the Heaven and Earth powers when I broke through to the Chaos Hole realm . It took me one year and two months to finish the breakthrough . If I were in the outside world, I would have probably needed to absorb these violent external powers for ten years . In the future, when I break through from the Chaos Hole realm’s early stage to the middle stage, I would have to absorb the violent external powers for ten years to consolidate my strength .

From the looks of it, cultivation in the Chaos Hole realm requires Outer Realm Essence Stones .

In the outer realm, a Supremacy would be able to continue cultivating normally and engage in battle by absorbing the outer realm’s powers .

Imperial Lords were different . An Imperial Lord at the early stage would require immense energy to break through to the middle stage! If an early-stage Imperial Lord only absorbed the outer realm’s powers slowly, it would take them about 100 years to complete the breakthrough

If a Third Tribulation Eminence only absorbed the outer realm’s powers during a breakthrough, it would take them over 1,000 years to step into the Fourth Tribulation realm!

Therefore, the outer realm’s powers were too thin for Imperial Lords and Tribulation Eminences . Breaking through took way too long when absorbing the outer realm’s powers only . It was impossible for them to waste so much time to absorb the outer realm’s powers slowly . Therefore, they required Outer Realm Essence Stones .

Outer Realm Essence Stones were solidified outer realm essence energy . Of course, most of them had impurities, but the energy contained within them was very rich . Outer Realm Essence Stones were used by Supremacies when they had completely drained their energies during combat . Outer Realm Essence Stones could replenish their strength rapidly .

Outer Realm Essence Stones were more important for Imperial Lords and Tribulation Eminences .

Therefore, Outer Realm Essence Stones were the outer realm’s common currency! However, it was rare for a Supremacy to use Outer Realm Essence Stones for daily cultivation due to their low expenditure of energy .

Boom!

Meng Chuan’s true body sat cross-legged . A black vortex—that spanned over five kilometers-appeared in the sky . Large amounts of dark outer realm powers constantly surged into Meng Chuan’s body . The Chaos Hole in his body absorbed the outer realm’s powers slightly slower than an Imperial Lord .

As he absorbed the outer realm’s powers and turned it into Chaos Hole Quintessential Essence, his Essence Soul avatar constantly replenished its Chaos Hole Quintessential Essence before continuing to attack the void cage .

Although he had obtained more than 800 Outer Realm Essence Stones after killing Fang Chang, he wasn’t willing to use them . He temporarily absorbed the energy at maximum speed to maintain a balance between absorption and expenditure .

Although array formation techniques are more brilliant, a dead array formation can’t absorb the outer realm’s powers like me . I’ll slowly exhaust the array formation’s energy . If I really have no choice, I’ll use the Outer Realm Essence Stones .

Meteor-like White Star Ore pieces smashed into the void cage, causing the void cage to tremble every time .

He smashed the void cage with White Star ores 3,000 times a day .

Three months later .

Boom!

Meng Chuan’s Essence Soul avatar cultivated while it was stuck inside the void cage . As long as it remained inside, the void cage had to be maintained!

As another White Star Ore smashed into the void cage, the void cage trembled and turned into nothingness .

The fog dissipated .

A clear cave abode was revealed . The buildings in the cave abode were clearly visible . Not far away from the cave abode’s entrance was a stocky yellow-furred man’s incomplete corpse . He was Supremacy Qing Gu’s former teammate .

Swish! Swish!

After the void cage dissipated, Meng Chuan’s White Star Ores—which he had used to smash the void cage for three months-appeared . There were hundreds of thousands of them .

Whoosh .

The Essence Soul avatar waved its hand and put away the White Star Ores .

The other Essence Soul avatar flew down and looked at the cave abode that had revealed its true appearance . An ownerless cave abode’s array formation can only operate normally until its energy reserves are exhausted . The entire cave abode’s array formation has probably expended most of its energy now . It should be very easy to occupy the cave abode completely .

The two Essence Soul avatars released their Essence Soul perception domains . This time, the Essence Soul perception domains didn’t encounter any obstructions . They easily enveloped the cave abode below .

In that instant

Buzz

The entire cave abode rippled like a reflection in water . The ripples spread out in all directions . In an instant, they spread around the cave abode for thousands of kilometers .

Meng Chuan’s true body, which sat on the hill in the distance, and Supremacy Qing Gu—who was guarding the stellar debris’s peripherywere enveloped by the ripples .

This is? Meng Chuan was alarmed . Instantly, 24 Bloodblades surrounded him . His Chaos Hole domain protected him as he carefully observed his surroundings .

The scenery around them changed drastically . They arrived in another world, surrounded by towering mountains and raging rivers .

A bearded man with a gourd by his waist sat cross-legged on a towering mountain peak . At that moment, he opened his eyes and looked at Meng Chuan .

Creating a world with a single thought? An Essence Soul Tribulation Eminence? Meng Chuan was cautious .
