Chapter 525: 525

One month, two months, three months… Half a year… One year…

I’ve already crossed three river zones . Why haven’t I sensed Meng Chuan’s exact location yet? Emperor Roc, who had spent a year traveling in the River of Spacetime, found it unbelievable .

As they were too far away from each other, he couldn’t determine Meng Chuan’s exact location . He could only sense Meng Chuan’s general direction .

To his surprise, even as a Second Tribulation Eminence with the Golden-Winged Roc bloodline, he was still unable to determine Meng Chuan’s exact location despite traveling for a year . How far did Meng Chuan flee? How much longer do I have to fly? Emperor Roc felt somewhat sad .

Back when Imperial Lord Starquix couldn’t determine his location, he wrote it off as Imperial Lord Starquix’s realm being too low . Now that it was his turn to make the trip, he felt the hardship .

As he flew, he could sense through karma that Meng Chuan seemed to be in front of him forever! This feeling of never seeing the end was indeed tormenting . However, Emperor Roc no longer thought about it .

At his level, he had great willpower and determination . He also knew that success didn’t come easy for many things . He would definitely experience many setbacks during the process . He had to clear them one by one before he could finally enjoy success .

If one year isn’t enough, then I’ll search for three years! If that’s still not enough, then I’ll search for ten years! I can still meditate and cultivate while traveling through the River of Spacetime . I want to see where Meng Chuan has fled to . Emperor Roc calmed down and prepared himself for the long haul .

Just like that, he transformed into a blurry golden beam of light and patiently flew through the River of Spacetime .

Ancient Magus River Zone, Heaven Peak River System .

In a massive Chaos Hole’s depths, a region where time flowed 47 times faster than the norm . Even newly-advanced Tribulation Eminences would find it difficult to resist this region’s gravitational force, much less a perfected Imperial Lord .

Chaos Hole . Meng Chuan sat cross-legged in the darkness and observed it silently .

His Chaos Hole Divine Body resembled a treasure or weapon . His Chaos Hole domain made Meng Chuan especially good at resisting the gravitational force . However, he couldn’t travel beyond this region; this was his limit .

He often stared into the Chaos Hole’s depths . The Chaos Hole’s seemed pitch-black, but upon closer inspection, Meng Chuan could sense spacetime distortions . The closer he got to the Chaos Hole’s core, the more beautiful the spacetime distortions became . The time flow also accelerated even more .

Beautiful . Meng Chuan appreciated this sight .

Although only eight years have passed in the outside world, I’ve been cultivating in the Chaos Hole for over 100 years . Meng Chuan discovered a problem . I spent 100 years cultivating alone . The Chaos Hole was my only companion . My state of mind has changed over time because I’ve been meditating . He had a seventh-level Essence Soul and obtained the Essence Soul Star legacy . He had also honed his mind since he was young… However, his personality still gradually changed as he cultivated in the Chaos Hole’s depths alone . This Chaos Hole affects spacetime and all things . It also affects one’s Essence Soul . It’s as if it wants everything to return to darkness and become still eternally .

Meng Chuan had another true body in his homeworld . He also had an Essence Soul avatar guarding Archean Mountain . He had Essence Soul avatars in Jiang State Capital, Snow Wind Pass, and other places . He often interacted with others . No matter how lonely his true body in the outer realm was, his personality shouldn’t have changed .

However, his personality still suffered changes .

What realm was Meng Chuan at? He didn’t notice it at first, but he realized his mental state’s minute changes over time . These changes were subtle, which was why they had gone unnoticed at first .

I’m getting affected by the Chaos Hole . It’s changing me gradually . My mental state has become even calmer . There are no fluctuations at all . It’s deathly still . It’s as though everything is about to die . Meng Chuan didn’t think that there was anything wrong with his state of mind . It remained extremely calm, as though he had transcended all things . He calmly watched the birth and the destruction of all things . However, he still made a decision . It’s been over 100 years . I’ll leave this place after cultivating for 20 more years .

Although such a mental state isn’t an obstruction to my cultivation-making me even calmer and more capable of comprehending the law profundities clearlythis is a change that happened because of the Chaos Hole . This is not a voluntary transformation of mine .

The Chaos Hole was indeed beneficial to his cultivation . Therefore, Meng Chuan decided to persist for 20 more years .

Infinite Saber . Meng Chuan drew Demon Slayer . Meng Chuan’s Quintessential Essence had nurtured Demon Slayer for a long time . As Meng Chuan’s realm improved, Demon Slayer slowly transformed . Now, it was an Imperial Lord-level weapon .

Swoosh .

Meng Chuan swung his saber and tried to create an Imperial Lord-level saber move for Infinite Saber .

He spent most of his time cultivating in a region where the time flow was ten times faster than the norm . He would also occasionally cultivate in the region where he was at his limits .

Fifteen Lightning Forms . In the past few years, Meng Chuan had studied the 15 forms intensively . He had attempted to fuse many of them with Infinite Saber, running through all the different combinations .

Annihilate . Meng Chuan slashed out .

When he slashed out, his heart didn’t stir at all .

Whoosh!

The saber produced a weak sound, but a black saber beam flew out of it! Strictly speaking, the saber beam’s center was pitch-black, and its periphery was filled with lightning, outlining the black saber beam . The black saber beam was violent and unrestrained, but the interior was completely silent . The two completely opposite intents fused with the saber beam .

Rip!

The saber easily tore through the void .

Meng Chuan was at the Chaos Hole’s depth, where time flowed 47 times faster than usual . No matter how he tried, Meng Chuan couldn’t stir the void in the past .

Now, his saber could rip it apart .

This strike…? After swinging the saber, Meng Chuan was pleasantly surprised .

Swoosh .

He immediately turned his head and flew out of the region he was in . After flying for a long time, he arrived at the Chaos Hole accretion

disc .

Even ordinary Supremacies could resist the gravitational force around a Chaos Hole accretion disc . Meng Chuan’s cultivation was not affected here .

Annihilate . Meng Chuan swung his saber again .

Another black saber beam! The saber beam’s edges were lightning snakes . The interior was pitch-black and indestructible . Wherever it passed, the void would be annihilated . I succeeded? I’ve created an Imperial Lord-level paramount technique? Meng Chuan was overjoyed . Without a doubt, the might of this strike far exceeded his perfected Grotto-Heaven realm Infinite Saber . It had undergone a qualitative change! This was a move that could suppress ordinary perfected Imperial Lords . It definitely had the strength of a Tribulation Eminence .

After so many years, I’ve finally created it! I’ve created so many different Imperial Lord-level saber moves for my Infinite Saber, but they weren’t strong enough . However, this move’s might is about ten times stronger than my perfected Grotto Heaven realm Infinite Saber . Meng Chuan was delighted . This move definitely has the strength of a Tribulation Eminence .

Flash Form, Yin-Yang Form, Wave Splitting Forms, Infinite Forms, Perfect Harmonization Form… These five forms combined make the perfected Grotto-Heaven .

I’ve now fused the Nirvana Form into my Infinite Saber .

Light returns to Nirvana…

The saber move’s strength has also undergone a qualitative change . This should be an Imperial Lord-level paramount technique? Meng Chuan was overjoyed .

Meng Chuan began to study this move carefully .

It also has a huge influence on time . With this move, I can speed up the time flow by eighty-fold . Meng Chuan sighed in amazement . It has indeed greatly improved .

I’ll test out my speed next . Meng Chuan executed his movement technique in the Chaos Hole accretion disc .

Swoosh .

After his first try, Meng Chuan frowned slightly . Something’s not right . Meng Chuan continued . He executed his movement technique repeatedly .

Two hours, four hours, six hours…

Meng Chuan stood there silently .

My cultivation has gone astray? Meng Chuan had mixed emotions . Not only did my speed not increase, but it has actually decreased?

Ignoring the changed time flow, his perfected Grotto-Heaven realm Infinite Saber could increase his speed to 15,000 kilometers per second instantly when he was in the outer realm void—there was no resistance here . Ordinary Supremacies would slowly accelerate as they flew in the outer realm . An instant burst of speed could prove their strength . It was also useful in life-and-death battles .

Although he could accelerate the time flow even more, his actual speed had dropped! He could only travel 14,000 kilometers per second now!

What I’m pursuing is paramount speed . So how can one’s speed decrease when they break through from the Supremacy realm to the Imperial Lord realm? Something’s wrong . This move is still not it . This move is probably similar to Dark Lightning, Lightning Walk, and Lightning Fire Body Tempering Art . Although its strength seems to match an Imperial Lord-level paramount technique, it has obvious flaws .

This saber move shall be called Saber of Nirvana . It’s worth keeping it . However, there’s no need for me to cultivate it in depth . Meng Chuan understood this point . His Infinite Saber pursued pure speed in the Grotto-Heaven realm . Thus, something was obviously wrong when his speed decreased when using this Imperial Lord-level move . However, although it wasn’t a paramount technique, it didn’t mean it was weak . It still had the strength of an Imperial Lord-level paramount technique .

However, this saber move had flaws!

There was only one path without any flaws, and that was to create an Imperial Lord-level paramount technique! This was the only perfect, flawless path . Everything else was wrong With his Infinite Saber as the foundation, he had definitely made a mistake when he was creating an Imperial Lord-level saber move, which resulted in his speed decreasing .

This flaw was similar to the outer Imperial Lord-level ultimate techniques of the lightning lineage that Ancestral Master Archean Eon had left in Star Cluster Building . The more one cultivated the Lightning Fire Body Tempering Art, the greater the side-effects on one’s body . One would cultivate their body into a weapon in the end . One would have high combat strength, but they would never reach the Tribulation realm with it .

Dark Lightning and Lightning Walk had huge flaws as well…

If he continued cultivating Saber of Nirvana, there would be even greater side-effects, especially if he used it to cultivate his body and his dantian’s Chaos Hole . Towards the end, when a huge flaw appeared, it would be too late for regret .

Although this saber move is flawed, if it is improved to the perfected Heaven Earth realm, even Seventh Tribulation Eminences would keep this move in their collections . Meng Chuan laughed self-deprecatingly . However, what’s wrong is ultimately wrong .

Meng Chuan stood in the Chaos Hole accretion disc and silently stared into the Chaos Hole’s depths . How can I create an Imperial Lord-level paramount technique?
