Chapter 560: Imperial Lord Starquix and Lady Blackmoon’s Ending

Three Bay River System.

A cave abode had been built on a barren planet. With an array formation concealing it, Lady Blackmoon’s outer realm body cultivated in seclusion.

Whoosh.

Sitting on the mountain, Lady Blackmoon sucked in a cold breath. She felt extremely comfortable. She chose this barren planet because it was very suitable for her cultivation.

In the outer realm, one’s perception of the different laws became much clearer. It was unlike her homeworld, where she could only comprehend the worldly laws.

Meng Chuan? At the moment Emperor Roc discovered Meng Chuan’s identity after being captured alive—

Lady Blackmoon also saw a white-haired man appear in front of her.

Oh? Lady Blackmoon was slightly taken aback. Her eyes widened because she recognized the white-haired man as Meng Chuan!

The white-haired Meng Chuan calmly looked at her.

Lady Blackmoon had already lost consciousness.

...

At the same time, Imperial Lord Starquix—who was leading his subordinates to explore ruins—also discovered a white-haired man.

“Imperial Lord, these ruins have been discovered by others more than once. It has been wiped clean. There’s nothing left,” said his subordinates.

Imperial Lord Starquix stood rooted to the ground, unable to move. His mind even stopped thinking.

A white-haired man walked in front of him. Without looking at the other Supremacies around him, the white-haired man waved his hand and stored Imperial Lord Starquix into his grotto-heaven treasure.

...

The Demon Realm.

Not good.

We’re doomed.

Imperial Lord Starquix and Lady Blackmoon rushed to Roc Imperial Palace as quickly as possible.

“Emperor Roc.”

“Emperor Roc.” The two of them were horrified and in despair.

Soon, they saw Emperor Roc sitting alone on the throne in the hall. He had been waiting for them.

“Emperor Roc, save us.”

“Meng Chuan appeared and captured our true bodies in the outer realm,” pleaded Imperial Lord Starquix and Lady Blackmoon anxiously.

Emperor Roc looked down from atop his throne. After a moment of silence, he slowly said, “My outer realm true body has been captured as well.”

Imperial Lord Starquix and Lady Blackmoon were stunned.

Emperor Roc’s true body was also captured alive?

The two of them were ultimately ordinary Imperial Lords. It was still reasonable and believable if they were captured alive, but even Emperor Roc was captured alive?

“What’s his strength?” asked Imperial Lord Starquix anxiously. “Isn’t it said that one’s cultivation speed would be very slow after reaching the Tribulation realm? Even if one creates a very powerful technique and has a very powerful bloodline, they will typically only reach the Third Tribulation realm in a short period of time.”

Emperor Roc nodded slightly. “I originally guessed that he was at the Third Tribulation realm, but I realized that I was ridiculously wrong this time. I couldn’t resist him at all... The strength difference between us is too great. I can still fight a Fourth Tribulation Eminence, but Meng Chuan should have already reached the Fifth Tribulation realm.”

“How long has he been cultivating for?” Lady Blackmoon couldn’t believe it.

The path of cultivation was long.

There wasn’t much of a difference between the First and Second Tribulation realms. Although it was difficult to reach the Third Tribulation realm, one could reach the Third Tribulation realm if they created a powerful ultimate technique—like Cloud Dragon Snake Movement Technique—and elevated it to the perfected Heaven Earth realm.

If one had the Golden-Winged Roc, Dark Peacock, Eight-Headed Star Swallowing Snake, or even non-pure-blooded dragons and phoenix, one could typically reach the Third Tribulation realm in a short period of time.

Many could reach the Third Tribulation realm quickly. It was common among Tribulation Eminences.

However, the Fifth Tribulation realm? Reaching the Fifth Tribulation Realm was more than 100 times harder than reaching the Third Tribulation realm! In one entire river system, there might not even be a Fifth Tribulation Eminence during an era.

“When I saw him, I couldn’t put up any resistance and was captured alive,” said Emperor Roc softly. “His strength should be at the Fifth Tribulation realm.”

“How is that possible?” Imperial Lord Starquix and Lady Blackmoon murmured in horror and despair.

“Perhaps Meng Chuan had a special encounter or an opportunity left behind by Ancestral Master Archean Eon that allowed him to enter some mysterious mystic realm,” said Emperor Roc. “Mystic realms can have accelerated time flows. Although it appears that he has been cultivating for a short period of time, Meng Chuan could have actually been cultivating over 10,000 years. Regardless of our speculations, his strength is something we can no longer resist. As for the two of you... nobody can save you.”

Two ordinary Imperial Lords hiding in their homeworld were unable to withstand a Fifth Tribulation Eminence’s karmic attack.

Perhaps only Seventh Tribulation Eminences and Eighth Tribulation Eminences could protect the two of them from a Fifth Tribulation Eminence’s karmic attack. However, the Demon Realm’s three strongest experts could only meet Seventh Tribulation Eminences in their dreams.

“Nobody can save us?” muttered Lady Blackmoon to herself and looked up at Emperor Roc. “What is he trying to do by capturing Starquix’s outer realm true body and my outer realm body? It doesn’t seem like he is planning on killing us. Does he have other motives?”

“He told me what he’s going to do,” said Emperor Roc, “He will kill the two of you today.”

Starquix and Blackmoon’s expressions changed drastically.

Emperor Roc sighed. Meng Chuan directly said that he would kill Starquix and Blackmoon today so that it would strike deeper fear into them.

“He captured us alive because he didn’t want us to die too easily?” Starquix and Blackmoon looked at each other with nasty expressions.

...

Archean Eon Realm, demon sage passageway.

“How can I let you die so easily?” The white-haired Meng Chuan stood under a willow tree and looked at the Demon Realm on the other side of the demon sage passageway.

“Feel fear. Feel the helplessness before death,” muttered Meng Chuan softly.

If they were killed through karma, Imperial Lord Starquix and Lady Blackmoon wouldn’t die in pain. It would be letting them off too easily. It would be better for them to be reduced to ashes.

The war—which lasted for 900-plus years—had caused too much harm to humanity. Just the number of soldiers dying while guarding the cities were in the billions. Countless commoners had died. Darkness, despair, madness, and hysteria... Too many things had happened.

Meng Chuan had experienced a demon attack when he was young. At the very least, his father protected him when he was young. The Meng family, a large family clan, supported him. Meng Chuan lived a carefree life, but there were many more who led more miserable lives than Meng Chuan.

Meng Chuan had seen too many things with his own eyes. He had long sworn that he would make the culprits pay the price.

Meng Chuan believed that it was impossible for Starquix and Blackmoon to produce a miracle.

Wanting a Seventh Tribulation Eminence to protect them? In this era, there were no Seventh Tribulation Eminences in Goddess River Zone or Ancient Magus River Zone! If Emperor Roc and company could cozy up to Seventh Tribulation Eminences? That would be a rare miracle in the River of Spacetime.

“Senior Eastcalm.”

“Senior Eastcalm.”

Two voices traveled through the demon sage passageway.

The 50-kilometer-long demon sage passageway allowed Meng Chuan to see the vast demon world easily. He also saw Imperial Lord Starquix and Lady Blackmoon kneeling reverently on the ground.

“We know that we brought too many disasters to Archean Eon Realm,” said Imperial Lord Starquix as he knelt. “Right now, Blackmoon and I are only begging for survival. I wonder what we can do to survive? Senior Eastcalm, just state your conditions.”

“Senior Eastcalm, please state your conditions,” said Lady Blackmoon as she knelt.

At this moment, the two of them were extremely humble as they begged for their lives.

Meng Chuan stood on the other side of the demon sage passageway and said indifferently, “Do you feel despair? When the demons invaded, they didn’t care about humanity’s despair. Let me tell you now, the two of you will die today. There’s still two hours before your deaths. Two hours later, I’ll kill the two of you through karma.”

Imperial Lord Starquix and Lady Blackmoon looked up at Meng Chuan.

Their eyes met.

It looks like he won’t give us a way out. Imperial Lord Starquix and Lady Blackmoon both went crazy.

Imperial Lord Starquix and Lady Blackmoon suddenly collapsed to the ground silently.

On the other side of the demon sage passageway, Meng Chuan watched from afar. “Do you think the two hours I’m giving you is for you to arrange your funerals? Wrong. In these two hours, I’ll let you have a good taste of the suffering that Archean Eon Realm’s people have experienced.”

As an Essence Soul Tribulation Eminence, he was very skilled at illusions. Essence Soul Worlds were the most terrifying illusions. It made it very easy for Meng Chuan to alter one’s consciousness and create memories.

After capturing Starquix and Blackmoon’s outer realm bodies, Meng Chuan cast an illusion on the two. Furthermore, the illusions descended upon all of Starquix and Blackmoon’s avatars through karma.

The strength difference between both parties was too great! Even through karma, Meng Chuan’s illusions caused Starquix and Blackmoon’s avatars to fall into an illusion.

Two hours passed outside, but in the illusion... it had been a very long time.

Everything the humans had suffered was piled onto the two of them.

Two hours later, Starquix and Blackmoon regained their clarity, but their eyes were somewhat dazed.

“No, no...”

“No...”

Although they had never experienced many terrifying things after becoming Imperial Lords, they had completely lost their minds. This was how terrifying an Essence Soul Tribulation Eminence was.

Boom!

Following that, saber beams descended.

The saber beams killed the two outer realm bodies. Through karma, saber beams descended upon each avatar. Although the saber beams’ strength decreased significantly, they instantly annihilated all the avatars.

Imperial Lord Starquix and Lady Blackmoon completely turned to dust and vanished.

This was the day of their execution; thus, they would be executed today!

They’re dead. Emperor Roc sat on his throne in Roc Imperial Palace. Through the void, he saw Imperial Lord Starquix and Lady Blackmoon—who were in front of the demon sage passageway—turn to dust. Emperor Roc remained expressionless.

I have to become stronger, thought Emperor Roc. The stronger I become, the less threatening a descending karmic attack will be to me.

...

Inside Fiend Prison.

Emperor Roc, who was chained up, stared at Meng Chuan.

“The two of them are dead. You’re the only one left,” said Meng Chuan calmly. “Don’t be anxious. Your judgment day will soon arrive.”

Emperor Roc stared at Meng Chuan. “Is that so? If you have the ability, kill me through karma.”

Meng Chuan looked around. “Do you know where this is?”

Emperor Roc was puzzled.

“This place is called Fiend Prison,” said Meng Chuan casually. “As a prison, it’s very good at torturing prisoners. I’ll let you have a taste of Fiend Prison’s tormenting tortures.”

Lightning seeped into Emperor Roc’s body through the chains, causing him to convulse.

...

It won’t be easy to kill Emperor Roc. Meng Chuan knew this very well.

A Fifth Tribulation Eminence typically had the confidence to kill a newly-advanced Tribulation Eminence through karma.

Sixth Tribulation Eminences had a relatively high chance of killing a Third Tribulation Eminence through karma, but they didn’t have 100% confidence.

Seventh Tribulation Eminences had full confidence in killing a Fourth Tribulation Eminence.

Eighth Tribulation Eminences? Their means were unfathomable. They could easily kill Fifth Tribulation Eminences. They could even threaten Sixth Tribulation Eminences through karma. However, even Seventh Tribulation Eminences might not ever meet a single Eighth Tribulation Eminence their entire lives. Even in the same era, there might not be an Eighth Tribulation Eminence in the entire River of Spacetime.

I killed two and captured one alive. Meng Chuan found it cathartic. It’s now time to explore this cave abode properly. Meng Chuan looked ahead. I captured Emperor Roc alive. Its backer, Palace Lord Snowjade, should know of my existence.

Following that, he took a step forward. Meng Chuan’s Essence Soul World easily suppressed the wind, allowing him to continue advancing through the lair with ease.
