Chapter 547 Tribulation of the Essence Soul

Whoosh

Emperor Roc was traveling through the vast River of Spacetime at full speed . He wanted to return to his homeworld, which was in Three Bay River System .

I’m about to reach Three Bay River System . Emperor Roc’s strength had improved greatly after reaching the Third Tribulation realm and cultivating in the Chaos Hole’s depths for more than a century . He was much faster during his return trip from Ancient Magus River Zone . He would reach Three Bay River System in a year .

This trip was all for nothing . Emperor Roc was rather indignant . His many years of planning had been in vain . Damn you, Meng Chuan! He’s indeed sinister . I thought he was a newly-advanced Imperial Lord at most, but I never expected him to remain at the Supremacy realm . When Meng Chuan’s strike reached the Demon Realm through the demon sage passageway, he knew that Meng Chuan had remained at the Supremacy realm, not breaking through . Although Meng Chuan had remained at the Supremacy realm, he could unleash the strength of a Tribulation Eminence! His technique realm clearly is extremely high . In regards to technique realm, he’s probably slightly stronger than me .

Once the war was won, Meng Chuan no longer needed to hide his strength .

A month after their victory, my karmic perception of him blurred significantly . I can only vaguely sense his direction . He should be at the Tribulation realm . Emperor Roc had some guesses about Meng Chuan’s strength . He understood that a month in the outside world could mean dozens-fold longer in the Chaos Hole’s depths . This was because of how the time flow accelerated in the Chaos Hole .

With sufficient Outer Realm Essence Crystals, Meng Chuan could advance to the Tribulation realm smoothly . After winning the war for more than half a year, I can’t even sense him through karma . I can only confirm that he’s alive . I can’t sense anything else . Even if he has a treasure that isolates karma, his lifeforce should be in no way inferior to mine . Has he reached the Third Tribulation realm?

Emperor Roc speculated . The more he thought about it, the more he found it perverse .

It was even harder to pry into the karma of high-level lifeforms . For example, Third Tribulation Eminences couldn’t sense the karma of Fifth Tribulation Eminences . As for Fifth Tribulation Eminences… they couldn’t clearly sense the karma of Seventh Tribulation Eminences .

Of course, some rare treasures had supplementary effects . However, the higher one’s cultivation realm was, the less effective these treasures were .

However, Emperor Roc didn’t know that a month after winning the war, Meng Chuan had attained an eighth-level Essence Soul . That was why his perception of Meng Chuan’s karma became very blurry .

Half a year after winning the war, Meng Chuan became a Primordial Imperial Lord! His strength was equivalent to that of an adult pure-blooded dragon or phoenix . He now had a 100,000-year lifespan . In regards to life’s natural order, he was equivalent to a Fifth Tribulation Eminence . This was also why Emperor Roc couldn’t sense him clearly .

There’s no way to suppress an Essence Soul breakthrough . Since he could immediately break through in a short time, it means that he’s reached the Physical Body Tribulation realm . Considering his technique realm, he might be able to become a Fourth Tribulation Eminence after spending some time . Emperor Roc was quite stressed .

They were all Tribulation Eminences from Three Bay River System . A river system only had a few dozen Tribulation Eminences! They would definitely interact in the future .

With the enmity between the two parties, Meng Chuan definitely wouldn’t let him off .

How did he improve so quickly? Emperor Roc muttered to himself . Did he create a very powerful ultimate technique?

One could rapidly improve their strength by creating powerful techniques .

Emperor Roc relied on his bloodline to reach the Third Tribulation realm quickly .

After Meng Chuan’s self-created Cloud Dragon Snake Movement Technique reached the perfected Heaven Earth realm, his technique realm was comparable to a Third Tribulation Eminence’s . As long as his body was perfected, he could reach the Third Tribulation realm with the ultimate technique in a short period of time .

Ordinary Imperial Lord-level ultimate techniques typically allowed one to rise straight to the Third Tribulation realm .

Further up and it would be Imperial Lord-level paramount techniques . They were techniques that allowed one to reach the Fifth Tribulation realm smoothly . Creators of such techniques were legendary existences . In the River of Spacetime, such peerless geniuses were much rarer than Sixth Tribulation Eminences .

I’ve returned to Three Bay River System . Emperor Roc was filled with anticipation . It’s time to meet the Palace Lord .

Three Bay River System was a river system with a rather deep heritage . The river system also had a Fifth Tribulation Eminence-Palace Lord Snowjade .

Palace Lord Snowjade was rather arrogant . Therefore, ordinary cultivators didn’t dare enter his cultivation grounds .

Swoosh .

Emperor Roc flew over to a towering snow mountain, which floated in the outer realm .

The snow mountain was over 50,000 kilometers tall . Next to the snow mountain was a Grand Yin Star that emitted a cold glow . This snow mountain was a Sixth Tribulation treasure . Even a Fifth Tribulation Eminence wouldn’t be willing to enter the snow mountain and fight Palace Lord Snowjade .

A palace complex—which appeared to be carved from jade-stood atop the snow mountain’s summit . It was Three Bay River System’s Holy Land-Snowjade Palace .

Whoosh .

Emperor Roc landed on the square in front of Snowjade Palace . In the square, a green toad was coiled like a sculpture . At that moment, the green toad opened its eyes and looked at Emperor Roc . It said in surprise, “Golden Roc, you have reached the Tribulation realm?”

Emperor Roc nodded . “Yes . ”

“Which Tribulation realm?” asked the green toad .

“Third Tribulation realm . ” Emperor Roc didn’t hide anything . “That’s true . With your bloodline, you can quickly reach the Third Tribulation realm,” said the green toad with a smile . “The Palace Lord will be leaving Three Bay River System to do something big . Since you have reached the Third Tribulation realm… you can follow him . ”

Emperor Roc was astonished . “Something big?” “Golden Roc, come in . ” A cold voice came from the palace’s depths .

“Yes . ” Emperor Roc was extremely respectful . When he reached the perfected Imperial Lord realm, he was admitted to Snowjade Palace due to his bloodline .

It was more suitable for weak Tribulation Eminences to follow powerful Tribulation Eminences . Some weaker Tribulation Eminences were even unqualified to follow them .

After Emperor Roc reached the perfected Imperial Lord realm, he was destined to be a Third Tribulation Eminence . Due to his bloodline, he was considered extremely powerful in the Third Tribulation realm . He was strong enough for Fifth Tribulation Eminences to take him in as a follower . This was because Fourth Tribulation Eminences could have free rein over large areas alone . There was no need for Fifth Tribulation Eminences to shelter them .

Emperor Roc was willing to be a follower because he knew himself very well . After quickly reaching the Third Tribulation realm, it would be extremely difficult for him to improve further . He needed Palace Lord Snowjade as his guide .

Archean Eon Realm, Grotto-Heaven Pavilion .

Meng Chuan was reading a book when he suddenly looked into the distance .

Emperor Roc has returned to Three Bay River System . Furthermore, I can sense its location… It should be in Snowjade Palace . Meng Chuan frowned slightly . Due to them being in the same river system, his perception of Emperor Roc’s karma became clearer .

Emperor Roc couldn’t sense his karma, but Meng Chuan could clearly sense Emperor Roc’s .

Back on Black Dragon Planet, Meng Chuan had purchased detailed intelligence on Three Bay River System through Eternal Tower . Information on every Tribulation Eminence and Imperial Lord was available .

One of them noted that Emperor Roc was one of Palace Lord Snowjade’s followers .

Palace Lord Snowjade, the only Fifth Tribulation Eminence in the entire Three Bay River System? When I kill Emperor Roc in the future, as long as Palace Lord Snowjade isn’t stupid, he won’t fight me for a follower . Fifth Tribulation Eminences did not need to fight life-and-death battles unless for special reasons . After all, they all had true bodies in their homeworlds . Even if a Fifth Tribulation Eminence killed one of their opponent’s true bodies, the other party could just cultivate another one .

However, this will only happen if my strength is close to Palace Lord Snowjade’s . I’m still not at the Fifth Tribulation realm yet . Meng Chuan had patience .

He was growing at a rapid pace .

Meng Chuan flipped through the book in his hand leisurely .

Suddenly

Meng Chuan’s hand trembled slightly as he sat there and stared at the page for about ten minutes .

I transcended the first Essence Soul tribulation . Meng Chuan heaved a sigh of relief before flipping to the second page .

Essence Soul Tribulations came and went without a trace . They descended upon one’s Essence Soul directly . Thus, there wasn’t much of a commotion on the surface .

After Meng Chuan transcended his first Essence Soul Tribulation, his Essence Soul transformed as his Power of Essence Soul became purer . If he couldn’t withstand the Essence Soul Tribulations, no matter how powerful his Essence Soul was, he could barely get things in order before his soul completely dissipated . However, Meng Chuan was very confident . From his Essence Soul’s purity, Meng Chuan knew that his spiritual cultivation level should be extremely high .

Meng Chuan’s Infinite Saber and Saber of Nirvana fused with his Essence Soul World, changing it greatly . His infinite Saber was a perfect paramount technique . With it, he naturally transcended his first Essence Soul Tribulation easily .
