Chapter 557: 557

With Meng Chuan’s control over time, he could sense that the hidden cyan door had existed for a very long time .

This door has existed for a long time . It has existed for ten million years at least . Then, its creator should have died long ago . Palace Lord Snowjade brought Emperor Roc and his other subordinates over because of this mysterious cave abode? guessed Meng Chuan .

With a thought, he split out an Essence Soul avatar and had it fly towards the cyan door . The door opened with a push .

Oh? Through his Essence Soul avatar, Meng Chuan probed the situation behind the door . His eyes lit up .

Swoosh .

His true body flew in .

The cyan door—which contained many runic patterns—opened with a push . After Meng Chuan flew in, he turned around and saw the door close again .

What a cave abode . After dispelling his Essence Soul avatar, Meng Chuan looked at the scene in front of him .

Behind the door was an extremely large dark-red lair! This lair was about 500,000 kilometers wide . At the lair’s entrance was a stone monument, which had a few simple words engraved on it: “Those who reach the end will be the final victor . ” The words circled around like tadpoles . Meng Chuan had never seen them before, but he could sense the intent contained in the words and understood the meaning behind them .

It’s only a few words, but the pressure they give me is already so strong . From the looks of it, it’s likely that this cave abode’s owner is an existence comparable to Ancestral Master Archean Eon .

He had seen many of Ancestral Master Archean Eon’s capabilities from the many things he had left behind in Archean Eon Realm .

Just the cyan door, stone monument, and lair made Meng Chuan feel that the creator was on the same level as Ancestral Master Archean Eon . At the very least, the words left behind by a Sixth Tribulation Eminence wouldn’t make him feel such immense pressure .

Is this cave abode related to a Seventh Tribulation Eminence? Or is it related to an even stronger existence? Meng Chuan was tempted .

Let’s go . Meng Chuan walked towards the lair’s entrance . At the same time, his Essence Soul World’s phantom appeared around him . When it came to reconnaissance, his Essence Soul World was still better than his Primordial domain .

…

There was only one entrance to the lair, but the deeper one went, the more forks there were .

According to the Palace Lord, we just need to advance . The deeper we can probe, the greater the benefits . Emperor Roc carefully advanced as ripples spread out in all directions . If I can obtain what the Palace Lord needs, it will be a great contribution . Emperor Roc was filled with anticipation .

Palace Lord Snowjade had a basic understanding of this cave abode . That was why he had brought his subordinates here . As long as they entered the cave abode and reached a certain depth, they would obtain opportunities and benefits . After they left the cave abode, these subordinates naturally had to hand over everything obediently! Although his subordinates were weaker than him, they had the number advantage . Perhaps Palace Lord Snowjade’s subordinates could amass more than him .

Palace Lord Snowjade wouldn’t be stingy if they amassed plenty of valuable treasures .

These subordinates were prepared to die in battle . Thus, they didn’t bring any valuable items with them .

Oh? As Emperor Roc walked through the lair’s tunnel, he suddenly saw a huge hole in front of him . The hole was rather large . Boundless black fog billowed beneath it . A blood-colored chain was connected to one end of the hole to another, with the other end being right in front of the tunnel .

Emperor Roc was slightly taken aback before he came to a realization . I probably have to step on the chain and walk to the other end . This cave abode is filled with danger . It’s very difficult to venture deep . If I were the owner and deliberately set up a chain here, it will definitely contain dangers .

With a thought, Emperor Roc immediately split out an Essence Soul avatar . He had a seventh-level Essence Soul . Apart from his true body in his homeworld and his true body in the outer realm, he could still use eight Essence Soul avatars .

However, his Essence Soul avatars were much weaker than his true bodies .

Swoosh .

Emperor Roc tried to use his Essence Soul avatar to fly forward, but the moment it flew out, the churning black fog instantly captured the Essence Soul avatar . The Essence Soul avatar froze as it plummeted, disappearing into the black fog .

It really does contain dangers . Emperor Roc didn’t mind it . He could recover quite fast from losing an Essence Soul avatar . He immediately sent out another Essence Soul avatar and let it step onto the chain .

After stepping on the chain, the black fog didn’t attack it, but the chain’s invisible force affected his Essence Soul avatar .

It didn’t destroy my Essence Soul avatar . This chain is indeed the most suitable path . Emperor Roc no longer hesitated as he stepped forward with his true body . I have to make every second count . According to Palace Lord’s instructions, this cave abode only allows us entry for a year . The lair is too complicated . I’ve been in here for more than half a year . I even killed two Tribulation Eminences during this time .

Yes, Emperor Roc had encountered enemies in the past half-year . One of them was only at the Second Tribulation realm, while the other was at the Third Tribulation realm . They were likely subordinates of Old Fiend Black Wind or Ta Gu .

As long as one encountered unfamiliar strangers in the cave abode, they would attack each other; only one of them could continue advancing . The other either died or gave up on advancing .

Boom!

Emperor Roc stepped on the blood-colored chain . At first, he felt relaxed, but the force exerted by the chains became more and more terrifying as he advanced . Emperor Roc also began to sway . He had to spread his golden wings out to withstand the force .

This… the lair’s obstruction is already this strong? Could it be that I’m almost at my limit? Emperor Roc was somewhat anxious . I haven’t obtained any treasures yet .

He resisted the force with all his might . As though he was affected by terrifying void turbulence, Emperor Roc spread his wings and tried his best to stabilize himself . His foot claws grabbed the chains . This was the only method he could use to stabilize himself . Once he fell, he would definitely be devoured by the black fog .

Emperor Roc was indeed talented in the void lineage . Although it was difficult, he still reached the other end .

I did it . Emperor Roc finally walked to the other end, feeling relieved .

At that moment, a black lotus seed flew out from the black fog and headed towards Emperor Roc .

After wandering for more than half a year, I finally obtained treasure in the cave abode . Emperor Roc was somewhat excited . After receiving the black lotus seed, he realized that the lotus seed’s surface was covered in numerous golden runes . The runic patterns appeared inconspicuous because they were too tiny .

…

Palace Lord Snowjade was also roaming the lair, but he wanted to venture deeper .

Rumble!

Over a churning magma lake .

Snowjade stepped on the magma lake’s surface as he advanced .

“Palace Lord, I obtained a black lotus seed . ” His subordinates hid an Essence Soul avatar each inside the grotto-heaven that Palace Lord Snowjade carried with him . His subordinates would report everything they had experienced in the cave abode . These subordinates were all at the Tribulation realm, so it was very easy for them to split out Essence Soul avatars .

“What’s the black lotus seed like?” asked Snowjade via voice transmission .

“It’s difficult for me to replicate the runic patterns on the lotus seed’s surface . I can only replicate its general appearance . ” Emperor Roc’s Essence Soul avatar immediately replicated the black lotus seed’s appearance, allowing Snowjade to view it .

When Snowjade saw the lotus seed’s appearance, he became delighted . “Very good . Your current priority is to stay alive . If you encounter other Tribulation Eminences, you should admit defeat; don’t lose that lotus seed . ”

“Yes,” responded Emperor Roc’s delighted Essence Soul avatar immediately .

It was enough for Emperor Roc to obtain the lotus seed .

Snowjade was in a good mood .

Although four of his nine subordinates had failed, the other five were still forging forward . Three of them had obtained treasures .

Golden Roc’s luck isn’t bad to have obtained a Tribulation Luck Lotus Seed . Snowjade stepped on the magma lake’s surface and continued advancing cautiously .

…

Swoosh .

Meng Chuan quickly advanced . The dangers in the lair’s earlier tunnels posed no threat to him . He could easily break through the tunnels’ obstructions with his Essence Soul World, allowing him to advance with ease .

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

A gray wind blew through the gaps in the tunnel, but it was blocked by the Essence Soul World’s many layers of obstruction . It failed to touch Meng Chuan at all .

Swoosh .

Meng Chuan phased into a blur as he advanced at high speeds .

Meng Chuan suddenly stopped and looked at an altar in front of him . Sitting on the altar was a bored alien Tribulation Eminence . This alien expert had a pair of snow-white wings and looked somewhat dejected . However, he couldn’t help but jump in fright when he saw Meng Chuan .

Meng Chuan’s Essence Soul World enveloped his surroundings; thus, this alien expert couldn’t see Meng Chuan’s appearance, but he could sense the huge difference in their order in life . This alien expert knew that the other party could crush him with a single finger .

“I’ve already taken the initiative to give up,” said the alien expert with a fawning smile . “To explore this cave abode, I didn’t bring any treasures with me . Senior, don’t worry about me . Just advance . ”
