Chapter 738: Life-preservation Method

The gigantic palm seemed to be touching the world membrane, but in reality, it was cracking the nomological protection.

Countless nomological threads intertwined with one another. Although it looked complicated, Perfected Lord Crimson Peace was confident. However, just as he was about to crack it—

Black fog surfaced on the world membrane. Furthermore, wisps of nomological threads fused with the spacetime’s nomological protection.

Oh? Perfected Lord Crimson Peace was astonished. This hidden black fog array formation was only an Eighth Tribulation Eminence’s array formation.

With Celestial Thearch Myriad Star presiding over it, it shouldn’t be able to stop him. However, this array formation... wasn’t directly used to fend off the enemy. Instead, the array formation had fused with the nomological protection of spacetime, greatly increasing the protective laws’ complexity.

What a powerful technique. Perfected Lord Crimson Peace was secretly alarmed. The array formation’s profundities can perfectly fuse with the nomological protection. This means that the array formation’s creator... has completely comprehended the protective laws.

Even he—who had the confidence to crack the protective law—had only comprehended 60 to 70% of it. He had only found a flaw in the protective law; he was still far from completely comprehending it.

This black fog... As Perfected Lord Crimson Peace watched, he sensed a familiar aura. The evil and sinful aura instantly determined the array formation’s creator.

“Black Fiend Ancestor?” Perfected Lord Crimson Peace frowned slightly. He hated Black Fiend Ancestor, but he had to admit that Black Fiend Ancestor was powerful.

In the River of Spacetime’s history, only five people were ranked at the top of the Eighth Tribulation realm after Dragon Ancestor! Black Fiend Ancestor was one of them. He wreaked havoc everywhere and stirred up plenty of storms beyond the universe, but he continued living a perfectly fine life.

Although Perfected Lord Crimson Peace had been at the Eighth Tribulation realm for many years and was confident that he could reach the top Eighth Tribulation realm in his lifetime, he was still far from reaching Black Fiend Ancestor’s level.

In his homeworld, Celestial Thearch Myriad Star’s true body nervously looked at the outside world through the world membrane.

It has to hold. It has to hold.

Celestial Thearch Myriad Star was nervous and afraid. As a half-step Eighth Tribulation Eminence, he vividly knew the difference between him and a true Eighth Tribulation Eminence.

The life-preservation means that Black Fiend Ancestor gave me must work. Celestial Thearch Myriad Star could only hope so.

When he first sacrificed to Black Fiend Ancestor, Black Fiend Ancestor hoped that such a good ‘tool’ could live longer. Thus, he imparted some life-preservation means to Myriad Star. Among them was this Eighth Tribulation array formation.

An Eighth Tribulation array formation was worth hundreds of thousands of cubes—nothing worth mentioning.

But this one was created by Black Fiend Ancestor. It was to allow the array formation’s profundities to fuse with the protective law, increasing the protective law’s complexity. Perhaps it was useless against existences at the level of Dragon Ancestor and Black Fiend Ancestor, but it was enough to fend off most Eighth Tribulation Eminences.

Black Fiend Ancestor couldn’t be bothered to waste time helping Celestial Thearch Myriad Star, but he was willing to bestow him some life-preservation means.

It didn’t crack? Celestial Thearch Myriad Star was delighted when he saw the hand retract.

Whoosh.

The gigantic palm reached out again and touched the world membrane, making Celestial Thearch Myriad Star tense up again. historical

After a long time, the hand failed to tear through the world membrane, allowing Celestial Thearch Myriad Star to heave a sigh of relief.

...

Outside the world membrane, Hall Lord White Avian stood beside Perfected Lord Crimson Peace and watched him make contact with the world membrane with his large hand.

Perfected Lord Crimson Peace frowned in thought.

“White Avian.” Perfected Lord Crimson Peace looked at Hall Lord White Avian. “Backing Celestial Thearch Myriad Star is Black Fiend Ancestor.”

“Black Fiend Ancestor?” Hall Lord White Avian was alarmed. The one who created Black Fiend Hall?

“I’m not afraid of him.” Perfected Lord Crimson Peace looked at the world membrane. “However, I have to admit that his realm is above mine. All he did was make an Eighth Tribulation array formation fuse with the protective law, causing it to be much more complicated. I can’t crack it.”

“There’s no way to kill Celestial Thearch Myriad Star then?” asked Hall Lord White Avian.

“I can’t kill his true body that’s hiding in his homeworld.” Perfected Lord Crimson Peace nodded and admitted it. Although he could use a karmic attack across worlds, Celestial Thearch Myriad Star was still a half-step Eighth Tribulation Eminence after all... His attacks would be greatly weakened by karma. He wouldn’t be able to kill a half-step Eighth Tribulation Eminence.

Some Eighth Tribulation Eminences—such as Black Fiend Ancestor or an Essence Soul Eighth Tribulation Eminence—could use a person’s true body to ‘corrupt’ their other true bodies. However, Perfected Lord Crimson Peace was better at head-on combat.

He wasn’t good at corrupting and permeation.

Although corruptive attacks were impossible to guard against, they were much weaker. For example, Hall Lord White Avian could still live for a long time despite being heavily injured. For example, Master Poison Eye—who was an Essence Soul Sixth Tribulation Eminence—had the protection of his homeworld. He was attacked by Hall Master Nightmare’s Nightmare Hall legacy treasure. The Power of Nightmare permeated into Master Poison Eye’s Essence Soul, but he remained alive.

With the protection of his homeworld, it was indeed rather difficult to kill a half-step Eighth Tribulation Eminence.

“It’s easiest to tear open the world membrane and kill him. If we can’t crack the protective law, it will be very difficult,” said Perfected Lord Crimson Peace. “Now that we have captured his true body and sealed it, his true body in his homeworld doesn’t dare to come out. This way, he won’t be able to threaten the outside world.”

Although Hall Lord White Avian was indignant, he nodded and said, “This is the only way.”

“It’s best to make him swear an oath,” said Perfected Lord Crimson Peace. After all, if his true body in his homeworld actually took the risk to come out, it could still stir up trouble.

Celestial Thearch Myriad Star naturally didn’t know about their conversation.

Perfected Lord Crimson Peace looked at his other palm and at the tiny Celestial Thearch Myriad Star in his palm. He then said indifferently, “Myriad Star, I’ll give you one last chance. If you swear that you won’t order forbidden creatures to devour worlds in the future, I’ll spare you this time.”

“Swear an oath?” The tiny Celestial Thearch Myriad Star looked up at the towering figure, but he had already calmed his mind.

After such a long time, Perfected Lord Crimson Peace had failed to break through the world membrane. He even took the initiative to negotiate with him, letting Celestial Thearch Myriad Star understand that Perfected Lord Crimson Peace had no way of cracking the world membrane.

Since he couldn’t crack through the world membrane, why would he make an oath?

Just now, he was willing to swear an oath when faced with the threat of death, but times had changed. Now that he was alive and had no worries, his thoughts naturally changed.

“Perfected Lord, I’m just working for Black Fiend Ancestor. Please forgive me.” Celestial Thearch Myriad Star bowed slightly, but his body had already collapsed—decimated.

Huh? Hall Lord White Avian looked at Celestial Thearch Myriad Star’s true body in shock.

“He can actually destroy his body in my palm?” Perfected Lord Crimson Peace said softly, “Black Fiend Ancestor imparted the Bloodline mystic technique to him? It looks like he imparted him many life-preservation means.”

Perfected Lord Crimson Peace’s eyes turned cold.

“White Avian,” said Perfected Lord Crimson Peace. “I can’t kill Myriad Star if I can’t break the protective law. However, there’s another method... which requires you to pay a lot more.”

“Pray, do tell.” Hall Lord White Avian’s eyes lit up. There’s still a way?

“I will personally set up an array formation around this inhabited world,” said Perfected Lord Crimson Peace indifferently. “I will completely trap this inhabited world, isolating it from the universe. Celestial Thearch Myriad Star can forget about coming out. If he can’t come out, he naturally won’t be able to cause trouble. However, the only flaw is that such an array formation requires a cultivator who has grasped spacetime laws to preside over it. You are the only suitable person in this era.”

“Trap him forever and seal his inhabited world, preventing him from taking a step out.” Perfected Lord Crimson Peace looked at him. “The price of sealing him is for you to stay here for an extended period. Are you willing?”

Hall Lord White Avian was a Physical Body Tribulation Eminence after all. Arranging a true body to stay here for extended periods had a huge impact on him.

“If I am the one presiding over the array formation, will an Eighth Tribulation Eminence be able to crack the array formation and save him?” asked Hall Lord White Avian.

“The array formation contains my will,” said Perfected Lord Crimson Peace calmly. “If an Eighth Tribulation Eminence descends, they will understand everything once they see the array formation. Unless they are my enemy, they won’t save him. The only problem now... are you willing to guard the array formation?”

Hall Lord White Avian looked at Perfected Lord Crimson Peace and said with a smile, “I’m heavily injured. I’ll call it a win if I can suppress Celestial Thearch Myriad Star.”

Perfected Lord Crimson Peace nodded in satisfaction.
