Archean Eon Art Chapter 658

Chapter 658 One Step, One River System

Archean Eon Realm, Earth Cloud Mystic Realm, Clear Spring Island, Thousand Mountain Star, Endless Belts of Wind… All of Meng Chuan's true bodies and Essence Soul avatars focused on comprehending Void Walk.

Time passed very quickly during cultivation. Meng Chuan didn't find it boring at all. He immersed himself in studying and gaining insights. It left him intoxicated. He felt like he was an apprentice sincerely learning the most fundamental truth in the River of Spacetime. With everything in the vast universe in front of him, it was easier for him to understand their core.

Why was a plant born? Its origins could be traced to the sun's distant light and the nutrients in the planet's soil…

Why were Supreme Yang Stars, Supreme Yin Stars, and ordinary planets born? Why did they form an ecosystem?

The spatial law was one of the two cornerstones of the River of Spacetime. All living things relied on space. As his insights into space deepened, Meng Chuan stood at a higher vantage point when he looked at the universe.

He could clearly sense matter on a Supreme Yang Star transforming into energy. It scattered light and heat wantonly. All the changes were carried out in space. Meng Chuan could sense a massive Chaos Hole in the distance. It was devouring everything, even distorting spacetime. A nearby Supreme Yang Star was slowly approaching due to spacetime influence. He believed that tens of thousands of years later, this Supreme Yang Star would be completely devoured by the Chaos Hole.

As Meng Chuan walked through the Endless Belts of Wind, he traversed distances ranging from ten feet to trillions of kilometers with each step. He constantly struck the wind with his saber as he sensed the effects the Endless Belts of Wind had on spacetime and everything in the surrounding spacetime…

Wind was one point that could stir spacetime and affect everything.

One begets two, and two begets everything.

Bits and pieces of the Void Catalog's description surfaced in Meng Chuan's mind. Many of the contents he had comprehended at the beginning were the truth. He now realized that there were even more things he had yet to understand. This legacy was a guide. It allowed Meng Chuan to comprehend everything in the River of Spacetime from the height akin to that of an Eternal. Whoosh.

Meng Chuan silently stood where he was when the saber struck the wind. He allowed the Endless Belts of Wind to howl, but he was like a phantom. The wind didn't touch him at all.

The change in time flow and the countless spatial rifts similarly couldn't touch him at all. Even the spatial rifts on his body seemed illusory and didn't damage him. Void Walk? Meng Chuan smiled.

Immersed in his epiphany, Meng Chuan didn't realize that more than 200 years had passed. He silently broke through his bottleneck while undergoing Void Walk. He had completely grasped it.

Sometimes, bottlenecks were only a result of insufficient accumulation. When one's insights were deep and vast enough, they would naturally break through the bottleneck in a single step.

There's no need to hide deliberately for a true Void Walk. I just need to take advantage of the situation. All the spatial fluctuations caused by external forces can't touch me as long as I take advantage of the situation. Just like leaves fluttering in the wind, one just needs to follow the void fluctuations. It's very simple in essence, but it allows one to gain an extremely deep understanding of the void once it can be done. Meng Chuan took a step and disappeared along the fluctuations. He arrived at a river system near Wind Belts River System and appeared above a barren planet. He crossed a solar system with one step.

After grasping the three basic tenets of space, Meng Chuan's understanding of space reached an extremely profound level. It wasn't difficult for him to cross a river system in a single step.

This is the limit of a single step of mine. After comprehending a complete spatial law, I will be able to cross from one end of a river zone to the other. I can reach another river zone with another step.

A spatial law allowed for an extremely astonishing traversal of distance.

Even a few Seventh Tribulation Eminences might not be able to catch up to Sixth Tribulation Eminences who had comprehended a spatial law.

Of course, Seventh Tribulation Eminences had different means depending on the Origins laws they grasped. For example, the controller of a Matter law was extremely powerful, but they were the slowest amongst the numerous Origins laws. As for the controller of the Immeasurable laws, they could appear anywhere in the River of Spacetime with a thought.

If a top Seventh Tribulation Eminence had extremely deep insights into time and space, their means would be even more unpredictable. For example, when Fiend Eye saw Meng Chuan, he saw future timelines without Meng Chuan realizing at all.

Realm Ancestor could easily fish Meng Chuan up.

Whoosh.

With another step, Meng Chuan returned to Wind Belts River System. I've already grasped the three foundations of the spatial law. Next is the most difficult step-grasping a complete spatial law. With a solid foundation, the next step was just a step away. This step could trap him for thousands of years. It was also possible for him to make a breakthrough with an immediate epiphany.

Even the Void Catalog was only a guide. The critical steps' completion depended on one perception. The Endless Belts of Wind affects spacetime. It also has a huge impact on the entire Wind Belts River System. It's very suitable for me to study. Meng Chuan put away Demon Slayer and walked through the Endless Belts of Wind, sensing the wind's influence and the river system's ecology.

He planned on meditating to his heart's content before heading to his next targetHoly Mountain of Painting.

In a dark void in Orchid Transformation River Zone, a massive ship-over 50,000 kilometers long-floated.

Swoosh.

A majestic figure appeared from the void and flew towards the massive ship. Eight burning, fist-sized stars floated behind him. They were eight refined Supreme Yang Star treasures.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

The eight Supreme Yang Star treasures constantly infused endless flames into the stocky figure's body.

Boom.

When he landed on the ship, the entire ship trembled slightly. His golden eyes scanned the area, and five figures appeared.

“Preparations are complete. It's time to take action,” said the muscular figure coldly. “Everything will be done according to our prior agreement. Apart from Palace Lady Ingenious Dharma, all the other lives and treasures on Ingenious Dharma Planet will be yours.”

“Ingenious Dharma Planet is the largest trading ground in South Brahma River System. There's also an Eternal Tower branch stationed there,” said one of the five figures. “Palace Lady Ingenious Dharma has been guarding it for a long time. She has also set up an array formation. Brother Burning Sea, are you sure you can crack Ingenious Dharma Planet's array formation?”

“You don't trust me?” The muscular figure's eyes turned cold.

“Brother Burning Sea, you have broken through and grasped three Fifth Tribulation laws. We naturally believe what you say,” said another skeletal lifeform. “However, Ingenious Dharma Planet is Palace Lady Ingenious Dharma's lair after all. With the array formation's help, it won't be easy to breach it. If things drag on, we might encounter some difficulties.”

“As I said, leave the cracking of the array formation to me,” said the stocky figure coldly. “What I need you to do is annihilate all living beings on Ingenious Dharma Planet. When the time comes, I won't be able to take care of the large number of cultivators when dealing with Ingenious Dharma.”

“Hehehe, slaughtering and plundering is what our Black Fiend Hall is best at.” The five figures laughed.

The skeletal lifeform continued, “It's fine if we don't slaughter them, but we have to be confident in our attacks. Once we attack, Palace Lady Ingenious Dharma will definitely seek help! Will Eternal Tower send reinforcements? Will Palace Lady Ingenious Dharma have powerful friends to save her?”

“How many times has your Black Fiend Hall encountered reinforcements from Eternal Tower when committing your slaughters?” The stocky figure sneered. “Eternal Tower is a very loose organization to begin with. Furthermore, the Eminences that can provide reinforcements are typically at the Sixth Tribulation realm! In the entire Orchid Transformation River Zone, only one Sixth Tribulation Eminence has joined Eternal Tower. They seldom participate in disputes, so they won't interfere with Black Fiend Hall's matters.”

Very few Sixth Tribulation Eminences interfered in Black Fiend Hall's matters. Only if there was karma involved would it be alright to interfere once or twice. But if one were to interfere repeatedly, Black Fiend Hall would believe that this Sixth Tribulation Eminence was targeting all of Black Fiend Hall. They would then suffer Black Fiend Hall's revenge.

Black Fiend Hall was a notorious top faction in the River of Spacetime. There were many Sixth Tribulation Eminences, half-step Seventh Tribulation Eminences, and even Seventh Tribulation Eminences. Furthermore, they were extremely united and crazy. All of them were fiends.

“I've roamed Orchid Transformation River Zone for many years. I know all of Palace Lady Ingenious Dharma's good friends. Don't worry; she doesn't have any powerful friends.” The stocky figure sneered. “At the very least, they are nothing in my eyes.”

“Brother Burning Sea knows Palace Lady Ingenious Dharma the best. Since you are certain that she doesn't have any Sixth Tribulation friends, we feel assured,” said the skeletal lifeform with a smile.

The other four figures nodded slightly.

The stocky figure's eyes burned as he said, “She's very attached to her homeworld. She's dedicated to protecting South Brahma River System. Hehe, I'm going to destroy everything she protects.”

The five Black Fiend Hall Tribulation Eminences beside him didn't care about the grudge between Starlord Burning Sea and Palace Lady Ingenious Dharma. They only cared about the opportunity to slaughter and plunder. They could already foresee a large number of the river system's cultivators being slaughtered and countless treasures appearing in their hands as their hearts burned with anticipation.
