Chapter 727: 727

Celestial Thearch Myriad Star didn’t dare show any disrespect to Black Fiend Progenitor .

Black Fiend Progenitor was a famous Eighth Tribulation Eminence in the River of Spacetime . He had refined two legacy treasures—Black Fiend Hall and Nightmare Hall . To a Seventh Tribulation Eminence, these two treasures were comparable to Eternal treasures . Just by looking at the treasures he refined, one could tell how unfathomable Black Fiend Progenitor was .

The Black Fiend Hall faction had wreaked havoc in the River of Spacetime for many years; the other Eighth Tribulation Eminences could only endure it .

On the one hand, Dragon Ancestor felt that an appropriate threat was beneficial to the growth of Tribulation Eminences . He only restrained them and didn’t completely destroy Black Fiend Hall . On the other hand, Black Fiend Progenitor was too powerful . He, Eternal Tower’s owner, Fiend Mountain’s owner, Phoenix Ancestor, and a few others had already progressed greatly in the Eighth Tribulation realm . They could be considered top Eighth Tribulation Eminences .

At this point, it was impossible for Dragon Ancestor to destroy Black Fiend Progenitor in a one-on-one battle . To destroy a top Eighth Tribulation Eminence… Dragon Ancestor needed to call on his friends and pay a huge price . Even so, he might not succeed .

Therefore, people like Black Fiend Progenitor and Fiend Mountain’s owner had the right to be willful . As long as it wasn’t something akin to flipping a table, the other Eighth Tribulation Eminences would try their best to tolerate it .

“You woke me up again?” Black Fiend Progenitor’s eyes seemed to contain billions of worlds .

Celestial Thearch Myriad Star didn’t dare to meet his gaze as he said respectfully, “Black Fiend Progenitor, I’ve prepared enough treasures . ”

Black Fiend Progenitor looked at him .

“Progenitor, please take a look . ” Celestial Thearch Myriad Star respectfully offered a pagoda that contained the countless treasures he had prepared .

Black Fiend Progenitor waved his hand, and the pagoda landed in his hand . He revealed a smile, one that affected the surrounding spacetime .

Even though Celestial Thearch Myriad Star had his head lowered, he couldn’t help but feel delighted . However, he felt even more afraid . The last time I looked him in the eye, my body distorted and transformed into a nightmare creature . This time, I don’t even dare to look at him, yet he can still affect my mind?

It wasn’t that he had never seen an Eighth Tribulation Eminence before . He had interacted with several Eighth Tribulation Eminences, and he could talk and laugh freely with the other Eighth Tribulation Eminences . He wasn’t affected when looking at them directly . After all, he was a half-step Eighth Tribulation Eminence who had grasped the temporal law and the spatial law .

Only Black Fiend Progenitor was an exception! The pressure he exerted on him was too great! However, the benefits that Black Fiend Progenitor could give him were also the greatest .

“Very good . ” Black Fiend Progenitor inspected the treasures in the pagoda and nodded in satisfaction . “It’s worth about three billion cubes . ”

It was just like how Fiend Mountain’s owner had left behind a method to summon him: Gather 1,000 Sixth Tribulation forbidden creature Life Cores or 10 Seventh Tribulation forbidden creature Life Cores and one could seek an audience with Fiend Mountain’s owner .

Black Fiend Progenitor had left behind a similar method, but he had higher requirements . Three billion cubes was the sacrificial threshold if one wanted to meet him . If one disturbed him without gathering enough treasures, they would be courting death .

Black Fiend Hall had been plundering the entire River of Spacetime for a long time . The lower-ranking members could split the benefits . The current Black Fiend Hall Master and Hall Master Nightmare could also split the benefits . They split the benefits layer by layer, but every time, a portion of them would ultimately be paid to Black Fiend Hall’s treasure vault . Black Fiend Progenitor would wake up after a long interval to harvest Black Fiend Hall’s treasures .

“Tell me, what do you want in exchange?” Black Fiend Progenitor stood there as an illusory book appeared .

Celestial Thearch Myriad Star had read this book last time .

Most of the recordings in the book were formulations, mystic techniques, and other knowledge . This was because knowledge didn’t cost much to Black Fiend Progenitor . Very few of them were rare treasures, and the true value of these treasures was far lower than three billion cubes .

They might only be worth a few hundred million cubes, but they were things Celestial Thearch Myriad Star had no way of coming into contact with .

“I want the second volume of the Eternal formulation, Bloodline . ” Celestial Thearch Myriad Star didn’t hesitate at all . He had long wanted this volume .

Black Fiend Progenitor tapped gently, and a black beam flew into Celestial Thearch Myriad Star’s glabella .

The knowledge was transmitted .

Black Fiend Progenitor was most willing to peddle knowledge . These were things that he had already grasped, which was why he could impart them personally . There was no price to pay, and it could be said to be a zero capital sale . Ordinary Eighth Tribulation Eminences might not be able to learn a complete Eternal legacy . Even if they learned it, they wouldn’t be able to impart it unless they completely grasped it .

“You still have one billion cubes available for exchange . What else do you want?” asked Black Fiend Progenitor .

Celestial Thearch Myriad Star sensed the vast contents of the Bloodline Art’s second volume . Some of the questions he had regarding the first volume were answered in the second volume .

Celestial Thearch Myriad Star suppressed his desire to study the newfound knowledge and immediately said, “Black Fiend Progenitor, the situation is unfavorable for me in this era . An Eighth Tribulation Eminence might want to deal with me . Progenitor, can you teach me how to stay alive?”

“I won’t participate in your conflict,” said Black Fiend Progenitor indifferently . “As for preserving your life, I’ll help you if necessary . ”

Celestial Thearch Myriad Star was somewhat disappointed . During the first sacrifice, Black Fiend Progenitor hoped that this ‘tool’ that collected treasures for him would live longer . Thus, he had already imparted many means to him .

However, Celestial Thearch Myriad Star still felt somewhat uneasy after Realm Ancestor exposed him . After all, no matter how invincible he was in the current era… he would still be flustered if an Eighth Tribulation Eminence were to take action .

“Do you want to exchange for that using the remaining one billion cubes?” Black Fiend Progenitor asked again .

“I’ll save it for now; I’ll exchange again next time . ” Celestial Thearch Myriad Star had the willpower to do so . His goal was to exchange for the nine volumes of the Eternal formulation, Bloodline . It was said that these nine volumes explained all the secrets of a bloodline .

For example, he had learned a portion of the secrets behind how forbidden creatures became powerful from devouring in the first volume . As a result, his strength had increased significantly .

Black Fiend Progenitor rather liked Celestial Thearch Myriad Star, who only exchanged for formulations—he was a good ‘tool . ’ Hence, he immediately said, “You have made two sacrifices . I have a treasure up for exchange, which I can make an exception for you . I once killed a Chaos overlord who controlled blood and obtained a drop of Origins Blood . As long as you consume this drop of Origins Blood, it can transform your body and nearly raise it to the Eighth Tribulation realm . You have already grasped the laws of time and space . Your consciousness won’t be warped, so you will be able to control such a body . ”

“A body close to the Eighth Tribulation realm?” Celestial Thearch Myriad Star’s eyes lit up .

“With this, your strength will increase greatly, and you will be able to deal with danger,” said Black Fiend Progenitor . “Furthermore, you can use it as your foundation to create a body formulation that perfectly suits you . Your chances of reaching the Eighth Tribulation realm will also increase . ”

It sounded nice .

In fact, this was a shortcut . He was allowing the overlord’s Origins Blood to distort himself and make himself become closer to a Chaos overlord . His body could indeed reach the Eighth Tribulation realm, but to create a physical body formulation with this? The probability was still very low .

If he only had a one percent chance of success prior to using the Chaos overlord’s drop of Origins Blood, then he only had a two to three percent chance of creating a physical body formulation after .

Black Fiend Progenitor did this mainly because he hoped that this ‘tool’ could live longer . Many things weren’t suitable for Eighth Tribulation Eminences to do, but cultivators of these eras were suitable to do them .

“How much will I need to exchange for it?” Celestial Thearch Myriad Star’s heart burned with fervor as he asked immediately . He wasn’t willing to give up the chance to experience a body that was close to the Eighth Tribulation realm .

“Five billion cubes,” said Black Fiend Progenitor .

Celestial Thearch Myriad Star secretly felt his head ache—this was a number that made his heart palpitate . He had cultivated for so many years, but other than his own expenditure, he had only sacrificed twice after devouring so many middle-level worlds . Including the one billion cubes he had saved this time… he still needed four billion cubes .

A total of ten billion cubes for all three times!

“After obtaining this Origins Blood, you will be much stronger than you are now . Your chances of reaching the Eighth Tribulation realm will also be higher,” said Black Fiend Progenitor leisurely . He could tell that Celestial Thearch Myriad Star was feeling uneasy . After all, this was the first time he had attacked a young middle-level world, and he had been exposed .

Black Fiend Progenitor didn’t wish for Celestial Thearch Myriad Star to restrain himself . He hoped that Celestial Thearch Myriad Star would be even greedier and crazier… As for Celestial Thearch Myriad Star’s outcome, he didn’t care .

What he cared about was whether the treasures would ultimately be sacrificed to him .

It couldn’t be helped! Even as an Eighth Tribulation Eminence, he was very concerned about treasures .

Even someone as powerful as Dragon Ancestor had to think of ways to collect treasures in his home universe and the endless spacetime . He was publicly acknowledged to be the richest person in this universe . Even when viewed from other universes, his wealth made other Eighth Tribulation Eminences extremely envious .

It was very difficult for other Eighth Tribulation Eminences to extend their influences to other universes . They would be boycotted by the other native Eighth Tribulation Eminences in that particular universe . Only someone as powerful as Dragon Ancestor could forcefully infiltrate other universes despite their resistance .

For example, Fiend Mountain’s owner had worked hard to set up the Chaos Turbid River to constantly lure Seventh Tribulation forbidden creatures in . He would wake up periodically to harvest them .

Eternal Tower and Black Fiend Hall had transactions all over the River of Spacetime . One earned a transaction fee with every transaction, while the other plundered the River of Spacetime . They had different ways of earning treasures .

Only with enough treasures could one go further on the path of cultivation .

Everyone knew that the treasures of middle-level and high-level worlds were the greatest . They were also the greatest treasure troves in the entire universe! However, the inhabited worlds were a soft spot for many in the universe .

Countless lives were born in the inhabited worlds, and the universe did its best to protect every inhabited world . Eighth Tribulation Eminences were born in this universe; everything that promoted their growth originated from this universe, so they owed their universe great karma .

Their actions might be righteous or evil, but they couldn’t shake this universe’s foundation . If they hit a soft spot of their universe, they would be abandoned by their home universe while staying indebted to it . Karma would plague them, and they would be in big trouble .

However, it was different for those below the Eighth Tribulation realm .

Those below the Eighth Tribulation realm didn’t jump out of the River of Spacetime, so they were a part of the River of Spacetime . No matter how they fought and plundered, they were still a part of the River of Spacetime .

Black Fiend Progenitor was currently baiting Celestial Thearch Myriad Star . Of course, he was just a casual chess piece of Black Fiend Progenitor . Although traveling through endless spacetime was difficult and earning treasures wasn’t easy, what Celestial Thearch Myriad Star had sacrificed… was nothing significant to Black Fiend Progenitor . He only offered a drop of Origins Blood to attract Celestial Thearch Myriad Star .

After the transaction ended, Black Fiend Progenitor’s figure dissipated .

Celestial Thearch Myriad Star stood there and pondered for a long time .

…

In the following days, the River of Spacetime remained peaceful and calm . Celestial Thearch Myriad Star didn’t immediately destroy inhabited worlds, nor did an Eighth Tribulation Eminence descend to deal with him . However, all the factions could sense the turbulent undercurrents beneath the calm .

In a wooden hut on the distant Dry Origin Mountain .

Meng Chuan was painting . He was usually the only one awake on Dry Origin Mountain, and he was also very lonely . He could only focus on cultivation and combat .

After grasping the six-stroke mystic technique, painting was a form of cultivation for him .

The painting in front of him was painted with black light . The ink gathered into terrifying black light .

Rumble~

This black beam of light seemed to slice through everything . The terrifying fluctuations could affect the outside world, but it was completely restrained in the wooden hut .

Meng Chuan revealed a smile . I’ve been here for more than 2,000 years . Today, I’ve finally comprehended the Heaven Splitting law .

He had cultivated for 2,000 years at Dry Origin Mountain, but only 68 years had passed in his home universe . After all, the time flow difference between the two places was very great .
