Chapter 636 - Seal

The dark land was a space deep in Archean Eon Realm’s Heaven and Earth Great Hall. It was only 1,000 feet wide.

The white-robed elder led Meng Chuan into the space.

The entire space was dark, and one had no way to get their bearings. A huge, gray seal floated in the air. Its existence caused the surrounding void to be destroyed constantly. Under the suppression of the dark land’s array formation, its annihilative might was suppressed to a 100-foot radius. Apart from the seal, there was a lake of blood. A large amount of dark-red blood gathered there.

However, in terms of aura, the gray seal clearly far exceeded the blood in the lake that spanned hundreds of feet.

This blood is clearly the blood of an Eighth Tribulation Eminence. Meng Chuan was very certain of this. He had seen Seventh Tribulation-level flesh and blood before. He had also seen an Eighth Tribulation creature’s arm. Therefore, when he saw the dark-red blood that pooled into a lake, he instantly determined that it was at the Eighth Tribulation realm.

A lake consisting of an Eighth Tribulation being’s blood was completely suppressed by the large seal.

“This is an Eternal treasure. I can’t approach it any further,” said the white-robed elder. “Even though it was Master who set up the array formation, the emissions from the seal’s power can still destroy everything within 100 feet.”

“It’s this powerful, even without an owner controlling it?” Meng Chuan carefully observed it.

“That is just the might of its natural emission,” said the white-robed elder. “When Master wielded it, he felt confident that he could match a half-step Eighth Tribulation Eminence.”

“Half-step Eighth Tribulation realm?” Meng Chuan was puzzled. “One that has made a breakthrough in laws, but has yet to undergo a physical breakthrough?

The white-robed elder nodded.

For Essence Soul Tribulation Eminences, it might be very difficult for them to comprehend the laws of time and space. However, it was equally difficult for their willpower to reach the Eighth Tribulation realm’s threshold.

It was the same for Physical Body Tribulation Eminences. Some may have comprehended the laws, but they couldn’t raise their bodies to the corresponding level. Such a situation placed them as half-step Eighth Tribulation Eminences.

A half-step Eighth Tribulation Eminence was extremely powerful. After all, they had a portion of an Eighth Tribulation Eminence’s strength. They could easily crush Seventh Tribulation Eminences.

“Ancestral Master Archean Eon could match a half-step Eighth Tribulation Eminence with this Eternal treasure?” Meng Chuan was secretly alarmed.

“You can give it a try,” said the white-robed elder with a smile. “The might of the treasure’s natural emissions isn’t something to be afraid of. I’m only a Guardian, so I can’t restrain it.”

“Okay.” Meng Chuan’s mind stirred.

The painting-like Essence Soul World appeared and enveloped the dark area—which was only 1,000 feet wide. It suppressed the large seal, forcing it to restrain its might. After all, it had no owner or energy source. Meng Chuan ultimately managed to suppress it, albeit barely.

A wisp of Power of Essence Soul seeped into the ancient gray seal.

The moment it infiltrated the Eternal treasure

–

Boom!

Meng Chuan could vaguely see a towering, blurry, and bald figure holding a gray seal. The gray seal revealed an unimaginable might. The area in front of him was immeasurably vast. It far exceeded the size of 100 river zones. Everything in the vast area was reduced to nothingness.

Meng Chuan vaguely understood that this was likely the mark left behind by the seal’s creator.

The bald, towering figure suddenly turned his head slightly and looked at Meng Chuan.

He saw me. Meng Chuan panicked. Meng Chuan found it impossible to gaze into the other party’s eyes directly, but he could clearly sense that the other party was looking at him.

Following that, the illusory figure completely dissipated.

The creator of an Eternal treasure is also an Eternal existence. That Eternal existence should still be alive. Therefore, I must have attracted his attention, even if I have only seen a sliver of his mark?

However, Meng Chuan then realized that the other party had only been looking at him casually. To a lofty Eternal existence, even an Eighth Tribulation Eminence was nothing, much less a Sixth Tribulation Eminence.

This situation was just like how a grain of rice —which had fallen to the ground-would be carried away by an ant in excitement. An Eternal existence was the existence that ate while Meng Chuan was just an ant carrying away the grain of rice.

Perhaps Eternal treasures are just casually refined by Eternal existences. To a true invincible existence with an Eternal lifespan, what is spending some time to refine a weapon?

When the creator wielded the seal, the destruction range was immensely vast… The area I could see at that moment should be from the Eternal existence’s perspective. The area it covered is probably more than half the River of Spacetime. Meng Chuan deduced that his estimate wouldn’t be that far off, even if there was a mistake.

The other party can probably destroy this universe’s entire River of Spacetime with a flip of his hand. So this is an Eternal existence?

Meng Chuan felt mixed emotions. In the past, he had thought that Eighth Tribulation Eminences were ridiculously powerful and unimaginably powerful. They could jump out of time and travel to the future or even other universes.

Seventh Tribulation Eminences were fish in the river. Eighth Tribulation Eminences were already pedestrians on the shore.

However, Meng Chuan now realized that an Eternal existence was a god above the shore. They could destroy rivers and perhaps create them. They were Eternal.

As for me, I’m currently only a small fish in the river. I was lucky enough to obtain a weapon that a god dropped into the river. This weapon was picked up by a big fish like Ancestral Master Archean Eon.

This seal… Meng Chuan’s Power of Essence Soul seeped into it.

The gray seal had run dry for a long time. It didn’t have a source of energy. Therefore, Meng Chuan’s Power of Essence Soul was rapidly absorbed the moment it seeped into the seal. Through this, Meng Chuan could see the gray seal’s true appearance. This is too… Meng Chuan was stunned.

Boundless laws.

He found the lightning law within them, but the lightning law was only one of the fine threads. The laws here were as vast as the sea. It was like a beautiful building had been built.

Meng Chuan sensed that it was a strange building with ten corners. The building was formed by countless laws, and it was filled with a destructive force.

I’ve finally seen an existence that can match the River of Spacetime’s laws. Meng Chuan was shocked.

The way the River of Spacetime operated was supreme. Heavenly Tribulations descended because of it.

The lifespans of various creatures, the size of inhabited worlds, the coldness and heat in the outer realm… All sorts of laws originated from it.

However, this gray seal was another structure composed of countless laws! It was different from the laws of spacetime. However, the two were on the same level. At the very least, they were equally vast and unbelievable from Meng Chuan’s vantage point.

The laws of spacetime were more balanced, while the gray seal was purely for destruction.

It’s too complicated. Just comprehending the lightning law is impossible to activate it at all. Meng Chuan was somewhat dazed.

It was as though he was a child reading a heavenly book. He was only lucky enough to recognize one of the words! He didn’t understand it at all once the words were strung together.

“Master said before,” the white-robed elder finally said, “that an Eternal treasure is paramount. To activate it… one has to grasp an Origins law at the very least. Only by using an Origins law can one barely drive it, allowing one to unleash some of its might. That might is enough to dominate all Seventh Tribulation Eminences and allow one to be comparable to a half-step Eighth Tribulation Eminence.”

Meng Chuan nodded.

“Master instructed me that Archean Eon Realm juniors are forbidden from bringing this Eternal Treasure out of Archean Eon Realm before they reach the Eighth Tribulation realm. He also forbids them from telling anyone else.” The white-robed elder looked at Meng Chuan. “Only by accepting this condition can you receive the gift from Ancestral Master.”

“I accept,” said Meng Chuan without hesitation.

“Okay.” The white-robed elder nodded. “It’s good that you can understand. Master also said that not only will the experts discover the Eternal treasure once it is exposed, but even Eighth Tribulation Eminences will probably be able to discover its existence and come to this spacetime to vie for the Eternal treasure. Don’t think that hiding it in an inhabited world will be useful. An inhabited world can also be destroyed.”

“I understand.” Meng Chuan had seen the remnant imprints in the gray seal. He knew very well that the entire universe was probably not mentioning in front of an Eternal existence.

A middle-level world? Meng Chuan knew that a Seventh Tribulation forbidden creature could feed on middle-level worlds.

Therefore, if Eighth Tribulation Eminences were to discover any traces of an Eternal treasure, they would travel across spacetime and arrive at this era. Archean Eon Realm wouldn’t be able to stop them at all. One could only protect the secret by doing what Ancestral Master Archean Eon did not telling anyone else. He went as far as hiding in the inhabited world and refrained from taking it out. Since an Eternal treasure was beyond time, it could remain safe.

Ancestral Master Archean Eon had only left this secret to his descendants before he died. Furthermore, one had to reach the Sixth Tribulation realm and have enough potential before they had the right to come into contact with the Eternal treasure. “Master said that ordinary Tribulation Eminences could comprehend the operation of spacetime,” said the white-robed elder. “After obtaining an Eternal treasure, apart from comprehending the operation of spacetime, one can also comprehend the countless laws within the seal. Comparing the two structures will be very beneficial to one’s cultivation.”

Meng Chuan nodded and acknowledged this point. Of course, the seal was like a heavenly book to him-incomprehensible.

“There’s also the lake of blood.” The white-robed elder pointed at the lake of blood. “When Master obtained the seal by chance, the seal was enveloped by this blood. The will within the blood has completely dissipated. The original owner of the blood has clearly died. This is the blood of an Eighth Tribulation Eminence. Since it involves an Eternal treasure, you can’t bring it out of Archean Eon Realm either. You can only study this blood’s mysteries in Archean Eon Realm.”
