Chapter 710: Tribulation Transcendence (Final Chapter of Volume)

Archean Eon Realm, in a chamber inside of Heaven and Earth Great Hall.

Sensing that the Heavenly Tribulation was about to arrive, Meng Chuan informed his wife before coming here. At that moment, he took the initiative to dissipate many Essence Soul avatars, leaving only his homeworld true body and outer realm true body to transcend the tribulation.

The seventh Essence Soul Heavenly Tribulation. Meng Chuan sat cross-legged in the chamber and patiently waited for the Heavenly Tribulation to descend.

Many seniors have successfully transcended the seventh Essence Soul Heavenly Tribulation. After all, there are several in every generation. Thus, the information regarding the Heavenly Tribulation is very detailed. The seventh Heavenly Tribulation targets the Essence Soul and willpower. I’m still very confident of succeeding.

Instead, there aren’t any intelligence records regarding the eighth Essence Soul Heavenly Tribulation. As Meng Chuan silently waited for the Heavenly Tribulation to arrive, he thought of many things. There were only a handful of Essence Soul Eighth Tribulation Eminences in history.

Even Celestial Thearch Myriad Star and Celestial Thearch Myriad Star found it difficult to meet an Essence Soul Eighth Tribulation Eminence. Therefore, it was naturally difficult to gather information on the eighth Essence Soul Tribulation.

Meng Chuan didn’t find any information regarding the eighth Essence Soul Tribulation in White Avian Hall and Eternal Tower.

I’ll advance to the Seventh Tribulation realm first. I’ll then try my best to grasp the laws of time and space after that. I’m still very far from the eighth Heavenly Tribulation. Meng Chuan knew very well that his willpower was far from being able to withstand the spacetime law’s evolution since he hadn’t even reached Fiend Mountain’s summit.

Here it comes. Meng Chuan calmed his mind and stopped thinking about unnecessary things. This was because a mysterious force had descended.

Whoosh.

An unprecedented cold fog descended upon Meng Chuan’s sea of consciousness. In an instant, it froze his Essence Soul.

This is? Meng Chuan looked around; he was in a world blanketed by ice and snow. An illusion?

My Essence Soul has been frozen, and my consciousness has been dragged into an illusion? Meng Chuan had gathered a large amount of information regarding the tribulation. He also understood the situation he was in. If my willpower also ends up frozen, that will translate into me failing the tribulation and dying. I have to last long enough.

I have to last until the tribulation ends. However, this illusion is really cold. Meng Chuan couldn’t help but tremble before walking forward.

In the illusion, he was like a mortal without any divine powers.

Meng Chuan knew very well that this was a battle between his willpower and the Heavenly Tribulation. The weaker his willpower was, the colder he felt, making it easier for him to freeze to death.

Meng Chuan’s willpower was considered strong, so all he did was tremble.

…

Meng Chuan was the only one walking slowly in the snow-covered land. His eyebrows and face were covered in snow. He looked into the distance and saw a snowstorm sweeping over.

Another blizzard, Meng Chuan muttered to himself. The wind howled as it swept up countless snowflakes and struck his body.

Meng Chuan lowered his head and endured the pain. The snowstorm grew stronger and stronger, and he was drowned by more and more snowflakes.

After a long time, the snowstorm stopped.

Amidst the thick snow, a hand stretched out. Meng Chuan crawled out from below and shook the snow away.

Snowstorms, avalanches, ice lakes… I welcome any further danger since I have a body of willpower. If my willpower can withstand it, I won’t die and will be indestructible. Meng Chuan’s expression didn’t change.

If his willpower had only allowed him to reach an altitude of 25,000 kilometers at Fiend Mountain, the snowstorm would’ve been much more violent. He would also feel much colder. The difficulty of transcending the tribulation would increase rapidly, but he was someone who could reach a height of 49,000 kilometers.

…

The illusory realm was filled with trials and tribulations. Meng Chuan calmly dealt with them without a stir. What truly gave Meng Chuan a headache was time.

In the illusory world, one would never reach the end. It was unknown how much time had passed. Time in the illusory world was meaningless. A million years might pass in the illusory world, only to be an instant in the outside world.

Here, Meng Chuan’s consciousness and thoughts were as slow as a mortal’s. Under the freezing cold, his thoughts became slower and slower, but he couldn’t sense any laws.

How long have I been walking? 30,000 years, or 300,000 years? Meng Chuan didn’t know either. His extremely slow mind prevented him from determining the flow of time.

Meng Chuan had experienced the torment of time during his fifth Essence Soul Tribulation. That time, he didn’t freeze or suffer repeated torment. He only spent an unknown amount of time in the void.

This time, things were even more ruthless.

Not only did it seem perpetual with no end in sight, but there was also endless torment and torture. If an Essence Soul Tribulation Eminence was mentally exhausted because of the long period of time or was unable to withstand the torment, ultimately freezing… they would die.

Come on. No matter how many calamities there are and no matter how long it takes, it will eventually end. When that happens, I will succeed. Meng Chuan firmly believed that he could succeed. His hope of transcending the tribulation was like a lamp, illuminating him as he walked through the illusions.

Time passed.

Three million years? Thirty million years?

Meng Chuan didn’t know how much time had passed. Even when he felt like it was almost time for the tribulation to end, not even a tenth of the time had passed. In fact, the illusion’s duration left Meng Chuan alarmed. He began to feel exhausted.

The illusion’s long duration made Meng Chuan—an Essence Soul Seventh Tribulation Eminence—become accustomed to the illusion. He even felt that the illusion would last longer.

Whoosh.

The illusion silently collapsed.

The power that froze Meng Chuan’s Essence Soul silently vanished.

I succeeded? Meng Chuan was momentarily dazed.

After a long period of perseverance, he finally succeeded.

Long was easy to describe, but in fact, no matter how powerful an expert was, they would become more exhausted and collapse in the face of long periods of time.

Thankfully, I created an Essence Soul formulation before I transcended the tribulation. Meng Chuan recalled the tribulation and felt somewhat lucky. Otherwise, if I were to transcend the tribulation when only able to traverse 30,000 to 35,000 kilometers on Fiend Mountain, I would really be walking on the tightrope of death.

Although Meng Chuan had reached the willpower threshold of the Essence Soul Seventh Tribulation realm, that was only the minimum requirement. It only meant that his Essence Soul World could withstand the Origins law’s evolution. One’s chances of transcending the tribulation would also be very low. The higher one’s willpower was, the greater their chances of transcending the tribulation.

…

Archean Eon Realm, Jiang State Capital, Meng Manor.

Liu Qiyue sat in front of her desk and blankly stared at the half-finished painting in front of her.

Previously, Meng Chuan had worked on this piece with her. Meng Chuan painted while she wrote the captions. But halfway through, Meng Chuan said, “The Heavenly Tribulation is here. Qiyue, I’m going into seclusion.” After that, he left.

Liu Qiyue long knew that her husband was about to face his seventh Heavenly Tribulation, but she was still extremely worried when the moment arrived.

Tribulation realm. Every step forward is a tribulation. Only by transcending the tribulation can one become stronger. Liu Qiyue was worried about her husband. She sat there in a daze as countless thoughts churned in her mind.

Two days, three days…

The more time passed, the more worried she became. She had no choice but to sit there alone and wait for her husband to return.

Seven months later, a white-robed, white-haired figure appeared outside the study. He smiled at her through the study window. Only then did Liu Qiyue smile.

Her eyes lit up as she immediately stood up and walked out. “Ah Chuan, did you succeed?” Liu Qiyue looked at Meng Chuan. She was worried that her husband had failed his tribulation transcendence and was only here to bid her farewell.

“I succeeded,” said Meng Chuan with a smile.

On this day, Archean Eon Realm produced the second Seventh Tribulation Eminence in its history.
