Chapter 739: 斩杀

Among the sixty-three top-tier Seventh-Tribulation Realm chaotic beings of the space-time lineage imprisoned on Qianyuan Mountain, Meng Chuan set his sights on this particular giant snake after discovering information about its 'Ring of Space-Time'.

The Ring of Space-Time: It can devour heaven and earth, trapping everything within its confines. After devouring, a massive explosion immediately follows! This explosion within the Ring of Space-Time resembles the recreation of a universe. While enemies swallowed by the Ring of Space-Time might survive the initial absorption, very few could withstand the subsequent explosion akin to a cosmic rebirth.

Meng Chuan was immediately intrigued by the description of the Ring of Space-Time.

The Ring of Space-Time's devouring ability was very similar to the rules of a Chaos Vortex.

Its universe-recreating explosion resembled the rules of Heaven-Opening.

Yet, the giant snake accomplished all this not through the profound mysteries of Chaos Vortex or Heaven-Opening rules, but through the Ring of Space-Time itself.

In the boundless expanse of space-time, the cornerstone of all rules is the integration of time and spatial rules! The combination of time and spatial rules can form everything, including many profound techniques used by Eternal Beings. However, this path is incredibly arduous, and many Eighth-Tribulation Realm experts are diligently striving to comprehend and ascend using space-time as their foundation.

The Ring of Space-Time, possessing the effects of both Chaos Vortex and Heaven-Opening, made Meng Chuan believe that mastering this innate ability would significantly aid his own cultivation.

"Boom!"

The Ouroboros-like snake, its Ring of Space-Time, completely devoured everything.

All energy within the spatial prison, including Meng Chuan who was protected by thousands of Chaos Vortexes, was irresistibly drawn in.

"I've been swallowed," Meng Chuan thought. He felt his surroundings become a chaotic distortion as countless energy currents were sucked in, wildly spinning and condensing. He was powerless to control himself, merely drifting along with the vortex.

"The first transformation of the Chaos Vortex Heaven-Opening Grand Array, the 'Heaven-Opening Blade Array,' is useless here. The second transformation, the 'Blade Prison Abyss,' isn't suitable for the current situation. Only the third transformation remains," Meng Chuan mused. He wasn't in a hurry to make his move, knowing that the Ring of Space-Time was most stable in its devouring state. He needed to wait for the opportune moment to strike.

Deep within the Ring of Space-Time, Meng Chuan sank deeper and deeper into the vortex.

Suddenly, the devouring vortex condensed to a certain limit and began to explode in reverse!

A massive explosion!

A cosmic rebirth!

"Boom!!!"

Meng Chuan, who had been drawn almost to the very center of the vortex, felt an endlessly terrifying power explode around him!

This grand explosion aimed to destroy all life within the Ring of Space-Time.

"Now's the time!" Meng Chuan's eyes lit up.

Although the Ring of Space-Time was most terrifying in its explosive state, it was also at its least stable, as it had to withstand the immense internal explosive impact.

The thousand dark Chaos Vortexes surrounding Meng Chuan instantly converged. Every ten vortexes swiftly condensed into a new, larger one, and these ten new large vortexes then merged into a single entity. In just an instant, all thousand Chaos Vortexes had completely merged into one!

While Chaos Vortexes could indeed devour each other, the instantaneous and stable merger of a thousand of them into a single entity required an exceptionally high level of mastery in array formations.

"Boom."

The super-large dark Chaos Vortex that finally formed was at the absolute limit of Meng Chuan's control. At this moment, he manipulated it with his full power, transforming it once again into an incredibly vast and dazzling blade light.

Previously, when a thousand Chaos Vortexes simultaneously transformed into a thousand Heaven-Opening blades, Meng Chuan could still keep the power of each blade contained, maintaining complete control. However, controlling this super-large Chaos Vortex was inherently difficult, and the resulting blade light could hardly be restrained—it simply became an overwhelmingly dazzling surge of light.

A light of ultimate brilliance!

"Let the universe reopen!" Meng Chuan exclaimed, seizing the momentum of the Ring of Space-Time's own "cosmic rebirth" explosion to launch his current most powerful attack.

The third transformation of the Chaos Vortex Heaven-Opening Grand Array – the Heaven-Opening Blade Separates Chaos!

RUMBLE!!!

The 'Chaos Vortex Heaven-Opening Grand Array,' created by comprehending the Six-Stroke Seal Secret Art and based on opposing primordial rules, might not be as powerful as the Heavenly Radiance Fist of the Heavenly Radiance Palace Master, but it was undoubtedly among the strongest techniques for a top-tier Seventh-Tribulation Realm expert.

In terms of power, this 'Heaven-Opening Blade Separates Chaos' technique was comparable to the giant snake's 'Ring of Space-Time'. The internal explosion of the Ring of Space-Time, which expanded in all directions, was distributed and borne by every part of the ring, allowing it to withstand the force.

However, Meng Chuan's terrifying blade strike was directed towards a single point.

The Ring of Space-Time was already under considerable pressure from its own massive explosion. To then endure a terrifying blade strike of equal power, concentrated in a single direction, was too much.

Although the Ring of Space-Time was incredibly pliable, twisting and struggling to resist layer by layer, it ultimately exploded.

"Boom!"

The incredibly dazzling blade light and the grand explosion detonated simultaneously within the Ring of Space-Time. The collision of these two equally powerful techniques sent their destructive force rippling in all directions.

The widespread destructive force was too much for Meng Chuan's Essence Soul Avatar, which lacked an array formation for protection. There was no alternative; for the third transformation of the Chaos Vortex Heaven-Opening Grand Array, Meng Chuan had unleashed his full power, not even diverting attention to protect himself. Facing the residual shockwaves, Meng Chuan even took the opportunity to actively dissipate this Essence Soul Avatar.

"No!" the Ouroboros-like snake cried out. Even as it wielded the Ring of Space-Time, it felt the explosion within exceed its endurance limit. Its eyes were filled with shock, fury, and unwillingness.

In the explosion, the Ring of Space-Time collapsed, and its entire physical form was naturally annihilated.

"Whoosh."

At the moment the giant snake exploded and was annihilated, another black-robed, white-haired figure instantly flew in from outside the spatial prison.

"The life core," Meng Chuan's other Essence Soul Avatar remarked. The moment the giant snake's true form was annihilated, he immediately discovered the life core imprisoned within the spatial prison. With a single step, he was already in front of it.

The life core was a black snake-shaped bracelet.

The black snake-shaped bracelet floated there, held captive by the spatial prison.

This was the relatively easy part of slaying chaotic beings on Qianyuan Mountain: their life cores were already confined, with no possibility of escape. As long as one successfully killed their true form once, they could immediately seize the life core.

Under Qianyuan Mountain's suppression, even if a chaotic being's true form was annihilated once, its life core would still require time to slowly revive.

Meng Chuan reached out and grasped the black snake-shaped bracelet.

The bracelet felt slightly cold. The moment he grasped it, influenced by unseen rules, the black snake-shaped bracelet disintegrated like grains of sand, then vanished into the void.

"Hmm?"

Meng Chuan felt a mysterious power, at the very instant the black snake-shaped bracelet disintegrated and vanished, surge from his palm into his body, permeating his Essence Soul.

At that moment, Meng Chuan felt his Essence Soul become intoxicated, experiencing a sensation of tipsiness.

"Perfect absorption?" Meng Chuan speculated.

Chaotic beings grew stronger by devouring worlds and other life forms! However, they could only absorb a fraction of what they consumed.

However, on Qianyuan Mountain, Eternal Beings had decreed laws and set rules. Here, slaying chaotic beings allowed for perfect absorption, transforming their essence into an innate ability most suitable for the slayer. This 'absorption and transformation' efficiency had already surpassed the inherent instincts of chaotic beings.

Although still feeling tipsy, Meng Chuan flew out of the spatial prison. After he left, the empty prison quietly vanished.

Each prison corresponded to a single prisoner.

Since the prisoner had been slain, the prison naturally disappeared.

As Meng Chuan walked on Qianyuan Mountain, the tipsy sensation in his Essence Soul grew stronger. He simply sat down, then lay down.

Lying amidst the mountain forest, Meng Chuan gazed at the tall trees, then closed his eyes, carefully experiencing the changes occurring within his Essence Soul.
