With Meng Chuan’s control over time, he could sense that the hidden cyan door had existed for a very long time.

  guessed Meng Chuan.

  With a thought, he split out an Essence Soul avatar and had it fly towards the cyan door. The door opened with a push.

  Through his Essence Soul avatar, Meng Chuan probed the situation behind the door. His eyes lit up.

  His true body flew in.

  The cyan door—which contained many runic patterns—opened with a push. After Meng Chuan flew in, he turned around and saw the door close again.

  After dispelling his Essence Soul avatar, Meng Chuan looked at the scene in front of him.

  Behind the door was an extremely large dark-red lair! This lair was about 500,000 kilometers wide. At the lair’s entrance was a stone monument, which had a few simple words engraved on it: “Those who reach the end will be the final victor.” The words circled around like tadpoles. Meng Chuan had never seen them before, but he could sense the intent contained in the words and understood the meaning behind them.

  He had seen many of Ancestral Master Archean Eon’s capabilities from the many things he had left behind in Archean Eon Realm.

  Just the cyan door, stone monument, and lair made Meng Chuan feel that the creator was on the same level as Ancestral Master Archean Eon. At the very least, the words left behind by a Sixth Tribulation Eminence wouldn’t make him feel such immense pressure.

  Meng Chuan was tempted.

  Meng Chuan walked towards the lair’s entrance. At the same time, his Essence Soul World’s phantom appeared around him. When it came to reconnaissance, his Essence Soul World was still better than his Primordial domain……

  There was only one entrance to the lair, but the deeper one went, the more forks there were.

  Emperor Roc carefully advanced as ripples spread out in all directions.

  Emperor Roc was filled with anticipation.

  Palace Lord Snowjade had a basic understanding of this cave abode. That was why he had brought his subordinates here. As long as they entered the cave abode and reached a certain depth, they would obtain opportunities and benefits. After they left the cave abode, these subordinates naturally had to hand over everything obediently! Although his subordinates were weaker than him, they had the number advantage. Perhaps Palace Lord Snowjade’s subordinates could amass more than him.

  Palace Lord Snowjade wouldn’t be stingy if they amassed plenty of valuable treasures.

  These subordinates were prepared to die in battle. Thus, they didn’t bring any valuable items with them.

  As Emperor Roc walked through the lair’s tunnel, he suddenly saw a huge hole in front of him. The hole was rather large. Boundless black fog billowed beneath it. A blood-colored chain was connected to one end of the hole to another, with the other end being right in front of the tunnel.

  Emperor Roc was slightly taken aback before he came to a realization.

  With a thought, Emperor Roc immediately split out an Essence Soul avatar. He had a seventh-level Essence Soul. Apart from his true body in his homeworld and his true body in the outer realm, he could still use eight Essence Soul avatars.

  However, his Essence Soul avatars were much weaker than his true bodies.

  Emperor Roc tried to use his Essence Soul avatar to fly forward, but the moment it flew out, the churning black fog instantly captured the Essence Soul avatar. The Essence Soul avatar froze as it plummeted, disappearing into the black fog.

  Emperor Roc didn’t mind it. He could recover quite fast from losing an Essence Soul avatar. He immediately sent out another Essence Soul avatar and let it step onto the chain.

  After stepping on the chain, the black fog didn’t attack it, but the chain’s invisible force affected his Essence Soul avatar.

  Emperor Roc no longer hesitated as he stepped forward with his true body.

  Yes, Emperor Roc had encountered enemies in the past half-year. One of them was only at the Second Tribulation realm, while the other was at the Third Tribulation realm. They were likely subordinates of Old Fiend Black Wind or Ta Gu.

  As long as one encountered unfamiliar strangers in the cave abode, they would attack each other; only one of them could continue advancing. The other either died or gave up on advancing.

  Emperor Roc stepped on the blood-colored chain. At first, he felt relaxed, but the force exerted by the chains became more and more terrifying as he advanced. Emperor Roc also began to sway. He had to spread his golden wings out to withstand the force.

  Emperor Roc was somewhat anxious.

  He resisted the force with all his might. As though he was affected by terrifying void turbulence, Emperor Roc spread his wings and tried his best to stabilize himself. His foot claws grabbed the chains. This was the only method he could use to stabilize himself. Once he fell, he would definitely be devoured by the black fog.

  Emperor Roc was indeed talented in the void lineage. Although it was difficult, he still reached the other end.

  Emperor Roc finally walked to the other end, feeling relieved.

  At that moment, a black lotus seed flew out from the black fog and headed towards Emperor Roc.

  Emperor Roc was somewhat excited. After receiving the black lotus seed, he realized that the lotus seed’s surface was covered in numerous golden runes. The runic patterns appeared inconspicuous because they were too tiny……

  Palace Lord Snowjade was also roaming the lair, but he wanted to venture deeper.

  Over a churning magma lake.

  Snowjade stepped on the magma lake’s surface as he advanced.

  His subordinates hid an Essence Soul avatar each inside the grotto-heaven that Palace Lord Snowjade carried with him. His subordinates would report everything they had experienced in the cave abode. These subordinates were all at the Tribulation realm, so it was very easy for them to split out Essence Soul avatars.

  asked Snowjade via voice transmission.

  Emperor Roc’s Essence Soul avatar immediately replicated the black lotus seed’s appearance, allowing Snowjade to view it.

  When Snowjade saw the lotus seed’s appearance, he became delighted.

  ” responded Emperor Roc’s delighted Essence Soul avatar immediately.

  It was enough for Emperor Roc to obtain the lotus seed.

  Snowjade was in a good mood.

  Although four of his nine subordinates had failed, the other five were still forging forward. Three of them had obtained treasures.

  Snowjade stepped on the magma lake’s surface and continued advancing cautiously……

  Meng Chuan quickly advanced. The dangers in the lair’s earlier tunnels posed no threat to him. He could easily break through the tunnels’ obstructions with his Essence Soul World, allowing him to advance with ease.

  A gray wind blew through the gaps in the tunnel, but it was blocked by the Essence Soul World’s many layers of obstruction. It failed to touch Meng Chuan at all.

  Meng Chuan phased into a blur as he advanced at high speeds.

  Meng Chuan suddenly stopped and looked at an altar in front of him. Sitting on the altar was a bored alien Tribulation Eminence. This alien expert had a pair of snow-white wings and looked somewhat dejected. However, he couldn’t help but jump in fright when he saw Meng Chuan.

  Meng Chuan’s Essence Soul World enveloped his surroundings; thus, this alien expert couldn’t see Meng Chuan’s appearance, but he could sense the huge difference in their order in life. This alien expert knew that the other party could crush him with a single finger.

  “I’ve already taken the initiative to give up,” said the alien expert with a fawning smile. “To explore this cave abode, I didn’t bring any treasures with me. Senior, don’t worry about me. Just advance.”
