Chapter 541 Imperial Lord Paramount Technique

The world changed as he slashed out.

The entire world seemed to come to a standstill. Even the floating clouds were completely still. This feeling? The corners of Meng Chuan’s mouth curled into a smile. The saber in his hand seemed to cleave at a small yellow flower in the southernmost part of the grotto-heaven casually. He carried a jade stone from the western mountain range, picked up a black fish in the north, and cut a purple fruit in the east.

The world returned to normal.

Meng Chuan’s saber was already sheathed. The yellow flower, pebble-like jade, lively black fish, and purple fruit were in front of Meng Chuan.

Paramount speed. Time and speed are under my control. My saber art has completely condensed into a line, exclaimed Meng Chuan inwardly. This is the paramount technique I’ve been pursuing. I’ve finally created the Imperial Lord-level paramount technique, Infinite Saber.

Meng Chuan smiled.

In the past, he had only created a Supremacy-level paramount technique. Only now did he create one at the Imperial Lord level.

This strike can accelerate the time flow by thirty-fold. This is mainly because my Essence Soul is currently at the eighth level. It’s even harder to change the time flow of the area I’m in. Meng Chuan understood this. The difficulties of changing a Supremacy-level lifeform’s time flow and a Tribulation Eminence lifeform’s time flow were two separate matters. If Meng Chuan relied only on his Grotto-Heaven realm Infinite Saber, he would only be able to accelerate the time flow around his body by three-fold. However, with his Imperial Lord-level paramount technique, he could accelerate the time flow around him by thirty-fold. It was clear that his Supremacy-level paramount technique had very limited effects on Tribulation Eminences.

Furthermore, the saber move’s pure speed is several times faster than before. Meng Chuan sighed in amazement. The speed of a Supremacy-level paramount technique was already fast enough. Now his Imperial Lord-level paramount technique was several times faster than its original speed; it was also much stronger.

His Infinite Saber had gone straight to the Third Tribulation realm from the near-perfected Imperial Lord realm. Of course, Meng Chuan’s Saber of Nirvana had reached the Heaven Earth realm’s middle stage, and it was already comparable to a Fourth Tribulation Eminence’s technique realm. All in all, his technique realm was comparable to that of a Fourth Tribulation Eminence. However, his Saber of Nirvana couldn’t be used as his cultivation foundation.

His Infinite Saber could be used as the foundation of his body cultivation and Essence Soul cultivation. Once my Infinite Saber reaches the Heaven Earth realm’s early stage, everything will be smooth. I can cultivate all the way to the perfected Heaven Earth realm. Meng Chuan was filled with joy. I, Meng Chuan, have actually created an Imperial Lord-level paramount technique. An Imperial Lord-level paramount technique creator was extremely rare. They were in no way rarer than Seventh Tribulation Eminences. In the past few centuries of cultivation, even I doubted whether I was capable of creating an Imperial Lord-level paramount technique. Meng Chuan sighed.

He knew very well. Previously, he had failed time and time again. Even Saber of Nirvana—which he created—was of the wrong path. However, because he had failed repeatedly, he had accumulated more and more experience. Only after painting ‘Backbone’ did he create the Imperial Lord-level Infinite Saber.

In fact, just the fact that he could create Saber of Nirvana meant that he had plenty of insight. After creating Saber of Nirvana, he was just one step away from success. This step was also the hardest one. In the River of Spacetime, many peerless cultivators met. Meng Chuan had been trapped in the Chaos Hole for more than 300 years. After winning the war, his mind had transformed, which finally allowed him to take that final step.

Huh? Meng Chuan examined his Essence Soul.

After creating the Imperial Lord-level Infinite Saber, his Essence Soul transformed and improved significantly. However, compared to the improvement in the five months he had spent painting, the improvement this time was only about 10%.

It’s no wonder the Essence Soul Tribulation realm values spiritual cultivation. Cultivation in the Essence Soul Tribulation realm mainly involved two aspects. One was spiritual cultivation, and the other was to gain insights into the laws. Essence Soul Tribulation Eminences had a common saying—the size of the world is determined by how big one’s heart is. Only when one’s mind and spirit have been cultivated to a sufficiently profound level could their Essence Soul World bear the burden of many laws and mysteries, allowing the Essence Soul World to grow. If one’s spiritual cultivation didn’t work, no matter how profound the comprehended laws were, they wouldn’t be able to improve. They wouldn’t even be able to trigger an Essence Soul Tribulation.

The Physical Body Tribulation realm was similar. Cultivation also involved two aspects. One was to study the laws, and the other was to cultivate the body. One had to comprehend a sufficiently profound law first before using the comprehended laws to improve the body! No matter how high one’s technique realm was, one couldn’t reach a higher level if their body wasn’t improved. Improving one’s body was 1,000 times more complicated than using a weapon to deliver certain moves. For example, due to Ancestral Master Archean Eon cultivating Samsara Divine Body himself, he had paved a path to the Tribulation realm. Samsara Divine Body cultivators had a clear path to the Tribulation realm because of this. As for the other Godfiend bodies, Ancestral Master Archean Eon was unable to perfect them because he didn’t cultivate them personally. Up until now, Ancestral Master Archean Eon was Archean Eon Realm’s only Physical Body Tribulation Eminence.

From this, one could see just how difficult it was to improve one’s body to perfection. However, the difference between the two systems was very obvious. The Essence Soul Tribulation realm gave priority to one’s mind; one had to cultivate their mind to a high level before their Essence Soul World would have a strong foundation. The Physical Body Tribulation realm prioritized the cultivation of laws. One had to comprehend the laws before they could improve their body.

Luo Tang Pass.

Inside the array formation, Meng Chuan’s three Essence Soul avatars guarded the demon sage passageway. Before the demon sage passageway completely collapsed, Meng Chuan had to guard it constantly.

After attaining an eighth-level Essence Soul, every single of my Essence Souls avatar can travel very far away from the main body. Meng Chuan understood this point. It’s very easy to control them, even if they are separated by inhabited worlds and several river zones.

With a seventh-level Essence Soul, one’s Essence Soul avatars couldn’t be too far away from their true body. In the outer realm, one’s Essence Soul avatars and true body had to be in the same river zone.

In a world that supported life, one’s Essence Soul avatars and true body had to be in the same world. With an eighth-level Essence Soul, one’s Essence Soul avatars could roam freely. Furthermore, their Essence Soul avatars would also have an Essence Soul World.

An Essence Soul World can already affect the real world. It can absorb the outer realm essence energy and transform it into its own strength. His Essence Soul avatars could roam the outer realm freely and absorb energy whenever it needed to.

Therefore, Essence Soul Tribulation Eminences would typically have several Essence Soul avatars carrying out missions. When each Essence Soul avatar was equipped with a Tribulation treasure, their combat strength was on par with their true bodies. This was because most of an Essence Soul Tribulation Eminence’s strength came from their Essence Soul.

Whoosh.

Meng Chuan’s Essence Soul avatar arrived in front of the demon sage passageway and tried to take a step forward, but was unable to enter.

I really can’t enter. Meng Chuan felt resistance. Although I haven’t experienced the first Essence Soul Tribulation, my life order has upgraded to a different level.

Forget it. Since I’ve created the Imperial Lord-level Infinite Saber, I won’t be far from becoming a Fifth Tribulation Eminence. I’m even confident about becoming a Sixth Tribulation Eminence in the future. I’ll deal with the demons slowly. Although he wanted to make the demons pay the price, with so many demons coming to Archean Eon Realm to slaughter them, the ones he wanted to deal with the most were the three leaders.

Emperor Roc, Imperial Lord Starquix, and Lady Blackmoon orchestrated the entire war.

Dealing with Imperial Lord Starquix and Lady Blackmoon was very simple. As long as he became a Fifth Tribulation Eminence, he could kill them through karma, even if they were in different worlds. As for Emperor Roc, it will take some time. I’ll take it slow. Meng Chuan was patient. According to Ancestral Master Archean Eon’s records, the creator of an Imperial Lord-level paramount technique was extremely rare in the River of Spacetime. Creators of Imperial Lord-level paramount techniques had terrifyingly-high talent. Once their Imperial Lord-level paramount technique reached perfection, they would be a Fifth Tribulation Eminence! They could then combine the profundities of other laws with it, allowing them to reach the Sixth Tribulation realm.

With these creators’ talent... it wouldn’t be difficult for them to combine other laws’ profundities with their paramount technique’s foundation.

Meng Chuan believed that his Infinite Saber was purely a time lineage technique. Once it reached perfection, he could combine it with his accumulated insights into the void lineage. With time and space combined, it would be quite easy for him to reach the Sixth Tribulation realm.

But it will be difficult to reach the Seventh Tribulation realm. Meng Chuan understood this point.

Even an Imperial Lord-level paramount technique’s creator would find it extremely difficult to reach the Seventh Tribulation realm. The Eighth Tribulation realm was an even more distant goal.

Ancient Magus River Zone, Heaven Peak River System.

Meng Chuan’s Essence Soul avatar sat cross-legged in the void beside the Chaos Hole. In his arms was Fiend Prison.

Inside the prison.

Meng Chuan’s true body was here.

I’m the first to reach the Chaos Hole realm. I wish to reach the Imperial Lord realm with this foundation. However, I might fail. Meng Chuan knew this very well. Once I fail, my body might even be destroyed. My homeworld is more important, so I’ll try to break through in the outer realm first.

Although this true body would be destroyed if he failed, his Essence Soul avatar would remain intact.

With an eighth-level Essence Soul... no matter how far away he was from his true body in his homeworld, he still had something to rely on. His Essence Soul avatars wouldn’t collapse. Fiend Prison and the many Tribulation treasures he had on him would still be his; they wouldn’t be lost if his true body in the outer realm died.

Meng Chuan still placed great importance on these treasures. Although he could obtain treasures from Ancestral Master Archean Eon’s vault after reaching the Tribulation realm, he knew that Ancestral Master Archean Eon had made long-term considerations. Thinking about how Archean Eon Realm would produce Tribulation Eminences over the years, Meng Chuan still had limits to what he could obtain from the vault.

Time to begin. Meng Chuan sat cross-legged in the Fiend Prison as he focused on sensing the Chaos Hole in his body. He began his breakthrough.
