Chapter 633 Sixth Heavenly Tribulation

Meng Chuan delegated all his responsibilities to others. He also temporarily bade farewell to his parents and wife. He entered seclusion and focused on his cultivation. Meng Chuan was so invested because he was already somewhat infatuated with the legacy Realm Ancestor gave him-Eternal Road.

As expected of an Eighth Tribulation Eminence’s legacy. Meng Chuan was filled with admiration. To transform one’s Essence Soul into a Sea of s.p.a.cetime to torture oneself… This allows one to have a higher chance of finding the flaws in their willpower due to the internal pressure.

As he cultivated this technique, Meng Chuan discovered some flaws in his mind. Stronger willpower doesn’t mean better resistance against the internal pressure. Something excessively hard becomes brittle. Sometimes, it’s much easier to resist when something is slightly rounder.

His mind and will controlled his entire Essence Soul. When resisting the pressure, being milder and gentler helped in being malleable.

It was easiest to discover all sorts of weaknesses when one cultivated Eternal Road for the first time. As the various weaknesses were resolved, this legacy would gradually push one towards a bottleneck. This was because it became harder to overcome the remaining weakness as one progressed.

Of course, when Meng Chuan just began cultivating Eternal Road and was in the midst of improving, he was naturally fervent. He could clearly sense his body transforming. Cultivating in a Chaos Hole’s depths is indeed different from the outside world. Meng Chuan often went to a Chaos Hole’s depths to cultivate Eternal Road. The Dark Chaos Hole affected s.p.a.cetime and his Essence Soul. In the Chaos Hole’s depths, his Essence Soul—which had transformed into a Sea of s.p.a.cetime—was affected by the Chaos Hole. It became even more distorted and unstable. The pressure on his Essence Soul was greater, making it easier for him to discover his weaknesses.

He resolved his weaknesses and made himself stronger. Meng Chuan indulged in this feeling of improvement.

In the blink of an eye, 15 years had pa.s.sed since he had obtained Eternal Road. Meng Chuan had also reached a bottleneck. This was because he had resolved all the easily resolved weaknesses. The remaining weaknesses came from his character as a person. Thus, improvement became difficult.

Cultivators are ultimately not puppets. They can’t control themselves perfectly. Meng Chuan sat cross-legged in the Dark Chaos Hole’s depths and sighed silently. It was already very difficult for him to improve. All that was left was pressure—one that continued without stopping. Meng Chuan couldn’t help but feel exhausted.

Oh? Meng Chuan’s expression suddenly changed. He vaguely sensed that a Heavenly Tribulation was about to descend.

The sixth Heavenly Tribulation is coming? Meng Chuan was alarmed. He immediately took a step forward and flashed three times before arriving in Archean Eon Realm.

The Chaos Hole he was in was the closest to Archean Eon Realm. Meng Chuan’s true body could naturally return in the shortest time possible.

The Heavenly Tribulation is coming?

Earth Cloud Mystic Realm, in a chamber in the Realm Palace cave abode.

The white-robed, white-haired Meng Chuan sat cross-legged. The time flow in this chamber was identical to the outer realm’s void. It was also where Meng Chuan’s Essence Soul avatar stayed. Otherwise, staying in Earth Cloud Mystic Realm would drain away his lifespan much faster. Meng Chuan sat in the chamber and looked out the window, staring at the vast lake. His expression was somewhat complicated.

His gaze landed on his grandson, Meng Yuwho was in Earth Cloud Mystic Realm. He also saw his son-Meng An-and Long Han.

I wonder if I can return to this mystic realm. At the same time, the Essence Soul avatar silently dissipated.

Meng Yu-who was cultivating in the sectdidn’t know that his grandfather was about to transcend the sixth Heavenly Tribulation. If Meng Chuan failed, Meng Yu would never see his grandfather again.

Thousand Mountain Star.

Meng Chuan glanced at his disciples-Gao Fang and Zhao Hongxiu—who were cultivating. He also looked at Cave Lord Scenic Cloud, the Eight-Headed Star Swallowing Snakes, and the large number of cultivators in Eastcalm City.

If he failed to transcend the tribulation, Thousand Mountain Star’s future would follow his arrangements.

Meng Chuan silently dispersed his Essence Soul avatar.

Archean Eon Realm.

Meng Chuan dispersed all his Essence Soul avatars in the outside world. He even retracted his outer realm true body’s Essence Soul thoughts.

He only used his true body to deal with the Heavenly Tribulation.

Sixth Heavenly Tribulation.

Meng Chuan sat cross-legged inside the tallest building in Heaven and Earth Great Hall. He looked up at the sky and sensed a terrifying force forcefully descending through the endless s.p.a.cetime. Nothing could stop a Heavenly Tribulation.

It’s here. Only about 30 seconds had pa.s.sed since Meng Chuan sensed it. At that moment, none of Meng Chuan’s friends and family knew that his sixth Heavenly Tribulation had already descended.

Essence Soul Tribulations were ethereal. Even if one’s willpower and cultivation level were high enough, they wouldn’t dare say that they were completely confident of transcending the tribulation. This was because Essence Soul Tribulations targeted one’s Essence Soul and mental weaknesses.

If one’s technique realm was high enough, such as grasping a Seventh Tribulation law, their Essence Soul would be as strong as a Seventh Tribulation Eminence’s. It would naturally be much easier for them to transcend the sixth Heavenly Tribulation. It was as though a gale couldn’t shake a towering mountain, but it could sweep up rocks! A Seventh Tribulation Essence Soul was a mountain, and a Sixth Tribulation Essence Soul was a rock. The sixth Heavenly Tribulation was a gale.

The gale descended, sweeping up the rock. Tribulation Transcendence. Meng Chuan sensed the terrifying force pa.s.s through the Heaven and Earth Great Hall’s obstruction and drilled into his sea of consciousness.

In his sea of consciousness was an Essence Soul that resembled a star. As the Essence Soul Star that had been cultivated for the longest time, Meng Chuan’s Essence Soul naturally responded in this form. This form was also what he was most confident in.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Numerous illusory flames descended and smashed into Meng Chuan’s Essence Soul like meteors. The impact was rather terrifying.

Meng Chuan’s Essence Soul circulated his Essence Soul Star formulation. It also used his powerful willpower and the World Treasure guarding him. He could be said to be stable enough to withstand all the attacks. Chi! Chi! Chi! These illusory flames were colorless. Even with his Power of Essence Soul, Meng Chuan could only sense flames everywhere.

Its existence caused s.p.a.cetime to distort into the shape of flames. Meng Chuan called them Void Flames.

During an Essence Soul Tribulation… any bizarre thing could happen. The only way to transcend the tribulation was to deal with whatever came! What is this Void Flame for? Meng Chuan was very cautious.

The illusory flame first smashed down like a meteor. After his Essence Soul resisted the flame, it attached to his Essence Soul and burned it. Wisps of flames seeped into his Essence Soul and affected his Essence Soul World.

As the Void Flames fused and adhered to his Essence Soul, more and more flames seeped into his Essence Soul World.

Boom!

Meng Chuan’s Essence Soul World was a world of lightning. His World Treasure’s defense made his Essence Soul World much more stable and powerful. It repelled the external flames and wanted to destroy them. Under Meng Chuan’s control, the lightning mountain in the middle of his Essence Soul World flew up and smashed into the Void Flames.

Boom!

His Essence Soul World trembled. The Void Flames remained undamaged as they continued entangling his Essence Soul World.

His will was like a sword as he mobilized the Power of Essence Soul to attack with all his might. He wanted to expel the flames, but the flames kept seeping into his Essence Soul World. They couldn’t be readily destroyed.

Two hours, four hours… As time pa.s.sed, more and more Void Flames became attached to his Essence Soul. More and more flames seeped into his Essence Soul World. Meng Chuan felt his control over his Essence Soul World weaken.

I can’t extinguish these flames. They will only strengthen as time pa.s.ses. What should I do? Meng Chuan realized how terrifying the flames were. It didn’t have any other characteristicsit only attached, infiltrated, burned, and remained indestructible!

It constantly seeped into his Essence Soul from every spot.

Meng Chuan understood that if he allowed the flames to continue, his Essence Soul would probably be engulfed by the fiery Void Flames and be completely annihilated.
