Archean Eon Art-Chapter 659 - White Avian Hall, City Lord Eastcalm

Orchid Transformation River Zone, South Brahma River System’s Ingenious Dharma Planet.

This was the most prosperous trading ground in South Brahma River System. There was also an Eternal Tower branch that attracted a large number of cultivators to gather here. To cultivators, the fair transactions possible here allowed them to exchange for the cultivation resources they needed.

“We only arrived here after traveling for more than 100 years. We have to tour Ingenious Dharma Planet properly.” A man with three swords on his back looked at the bustling city and said with a smile, “Free and easy time. It’s very safe on Ingenious Dharma Planet. No one will dare to force a sale.”

“Alright.”

“After risking our lives exploring ruins, we finally have the opportunity to visit Ingenious Dharma Planet to exchange for benefits.” The man’s surrounding companions were rather excited. They had long heard of South Brahma River System’s holy land, Ingenious Dharma Planet, and they were finally here.

“Let’s meet at the city gates before nightfall,” said the sword-bearing man in high spirits. Just as he finished speaking

Boom!

Outer realm essence energy in Ingenious Dharma Planet surged violently. The sound of essence energy surging made all the cultivators tremble in fear. They looked up and saw layers of array formations appear above Ingenious Dharma Planet. The layers of array formations complemented each other, perfectly enveloping the massive planet that spanned four million kilometers. It also affected an area of nearly half a billion kilometers. No living beings were allowed to enter this area.

“Something major has happened.” The sword-bearing man was stunned.

His companions also realized that something was amiss.

“What?”

“What happened?”

“Something big must have happened!” The tens of thousands of cultivators on Ingenious Dharma Planet were panic-stricken. They looked up at all the array formations on Ingenious Dharma Planet and realized that something was amiss.

Palace Lady Ingenious Dharma was a Fifth Tribulation Eminence. If she had to unleash all the array formations on Ingenious Dharma Planet, it definitely meant that she was facing a huge threat.

“No one can escape from Ingenious Dharma Planet today.” Accompanied by a wanton voice that resounded throughout the entire planet, array formations appeared around the planet. Although the temporary array formations’ range was relatively small, the numbers made up for the shortcomings. Dozens of array formations completely enveloped the planet’s array formation like ugly patches, preventing any cultivators from escaping.

Figures with powerful auras appeared outside Ingenious Dharma Planet without any concealment. Five Fifth Tribulation Eminences led more than 70 Tribulation Eminences and more than 300 Imperial Lords. “Black Fiend Hall.”

“It’s Black Fiend Hall.” Many cultivators on Ingenious Dharma Planet were knowledgeable. They recognized a number of Black Fiend Hall members.

“What? Black Fiend Hall?”

“Black Fiend Hall will kill all Supremacies.” The countless cultivators on Ingenious Dharma Planet became even more flustered. They were like ants facing an apocalypse. They were in despair, but there was nothing they could do to resist.

Black Fiend Hall was infamous. It was a top faction in the River of Spacetime that was comparable to Eternal Tower. Their rules were very simple. They would promise some conditions to deal with captured Tribulation Eminences and attract Tribulation Eminences to follow them.

They were more ruthless towards Imperial Lords. If they handed over 200 Outer Realm Essence Crystals and pledged their loyalty to them for 1,000 years, they would be spared from death. However, Black Fiend Hall slaughtered the weakest cultivators – Supremacies—and seized their treasures. Over the years, countless living beings had been slaughtered by Black Fiend Hall.

“We are doomed to encounter Black Fiend Hall.” Despair filled the hearts of the people on Ingenious Dharma Planet.

Boom!

Boom!

A terrifying collision erupted in the sky above Ingenious Dharma Planet.

A towering figure-standing at half a million kilometers tall, with massive Supreme Yang Stars surrounding him-stood there. Countless flames rose from his body as he tore through the outer array formation with a single swipe of his claw.

“Burning Sea.” A purple-robed woman stood high in the sky. Her face was pale, filled with despair and anger.

“Haha, Ingenious Dharma.” The towering figure’s two eyes were like two stars as he looked down at the puny purple-robed woman. “I already have a way to crack your array formation. In 30 seconds, Ingenious Dharma Planet—which you have guarded for so many years—will be destroyed by me. Tens of thousands of cultivators will die with you.”

“Your cultivation journey started with you being weak. Why must you treat weak cultivators like this?” The purple-robed woman knew that nothing could stop him. She could only watch in despair as her heart ached.

She had experienced despair before. Thus, she understood how pitiful the weak cultivators in the outer realm were all the more. They died in large batches in dangerous environments. They were plundered, killed, and bullied. The law of the jungle was prevalent. Only when a river system had sufficiently powerful existences to protect it and set rules to prevent plundering factions from existing could everything be stable.

She was willing to do so. She wanted the cultivators to stop reliving her past despair.

She silently protected Ingenious Dharma Planet and maintained South Brahma River System’s order. However, today… everything was about to be destroyed.

She was a Fifth Tribulation Eminence. Even if she lost, she would only lose this outer realm true body. She could recultivate it.

“But they…” Palace Lady Ingenious Dharma swept her gaze across the countless cultivators on Ingenious Dharma Planet and the disciples she had recruited over the years.

These Supremacies only had one true body. Death meant the end for them.

“More than 53,000 Supremacies.” Palace Lady Ingenious Dharma and the Supremacies on Ingenious Dharma Planet probably occupied half of South Brahma River System. Imperial Lords and Tribulation Eminences still had a choice, but these Supremacies were out of options.

“Eternal Tower, please send a Sixth Tribulation Eminence.” Palace Lady Ingenious Dharma requested help the moment she discovered the danger, but she knew that the probability of a miracle happening was very low.

This was because an Eternal Tower branch’s predicament required a Sixth Tribulation Eminence’s aid. As for Eternal Tower, it was very lax. Very few Sixth Tribulation Eminences were willing to cross the vast distances to help. Furthermore, Eternal Tower typically only sent news to the Sixth Tribulation Eminences in the surrounding river zones. They came if they could, but they would skip doing so if they couldn’t. Eternal Tower was very indifferent to such matters because such things had been happening for a long time.

What was happening on Ingenious Dharma Planet was just an inconspicuous wave in the long river of history.

…

Orchid Transformation River Zone, Endless Belts of Wind.

Meng Chuan—who was immersed in his cultivation-received a piece of news.

Oh? Meng Chuan was surprised. News from Eternal Tower?

In Orchid Transformation River Zone’s South Brahma River System, Ingenious Dharma Planet has encountered a Black Fiend Hall attack. The leaders are six Fifth Tribulation Eminences? Meng Chuan was astonished when he received the news. I never expected that the first mission I received from Eternal Tower is related to Black Fiend Hall.

As a core member of Eternal Tower, Meng Chuan had responsibilities. After all, he hadn’t established an Eternal Tower River Zone branch. If he didn’t accept missions, he would be forced to carry out missions every 10,000 years.

I’ll accept this mission. Meng Chuan took a step and disappeared from Wind Belts River System.

On Ingenious Dharma Planet, the towering, half-a-million-kilometer-tall Starlord Burning Sea was tearing apart the array formation with his claw. Previously, he had said that he would crack the array formation in 30 seconds, but in reality, he had made ample preparations. He had long hired an array formation Eminence to investigate Ingenious Dharma Planet in advance and jot down the method to crack the array formations. With his current strength, he was confident of completely cracking the array formation in 30 seconds.

“Brother Burning Sea is really fast at cracking array formations. From the looks of it, he will soon be able to crack them completely.” The five Black Fiend Hall Eminences watched from afar.

“Prepare yourselves. Don’t let any cultivator escape.” The skeletal lifeform cackled. “This is what we promised Brother Burning Sea.” Apart from the five of them, more than 70 Tribulation Eminences were also watching in anticipation. On the other hand, the 300-plus Imperial Lords in Black Fiend Hall felt somewhat numb. Imperial Lords were at the bottom of Black Fiend Hall’s auxiliary members. They would be squeezed dry for 1,000 years before they could regain their freedom. They would not receive any benefits during this process. I’ve roamed the outer realm for thousands of years, but I haven’t exchanged for manuals or treasures to bring back to my hometown. How aggravating

I’m encountering such a dire situation on my first visit to Ingenious Dharma Planet?

I’ve already cultivated to become a Heaven Earth Supremacy. I have a chance of becoming an Imperial Lord. I can’t accept this! I can’t!

No, no…

I’ve just exchanged for resources. I was just one step away from leaving.

Countless cultivators on Ingenious Dharma Planet looked up in despair as the towering Starlord Burning Sea tore through the array formation.

“This Eternal Tower branch is under Lord of Demented Aristocrats’s command. Please allow us passage,” said a gray-robed elder loudly from above the Eternal Tower branch.

“We will give in on account of Lord of Demented Aristocrats, but this Eternal Tower branch needs to be inspected. Only those who are internal members and are not cultivators from South Brahma River System can live. The rest have to die. We won’t touch the treasures in the Eternal Tower branch either.” A voice sounded in the gray-robed elder’s ears.

The gray-robed elder’s expression changed slightly, but he could only hold it in. In fact, there was no way for Black Fiend Hall to snatch Eternal Tower’s treasures because treasures could be teleported away.

In order to prevent Sixth Tribulation Eminences from interfering, Black Fiend Hall would be lenient with an Eternal Tower branch that was nothing but an empty shell. Due to the deal with Starlord Burning Sea, the conditions were even harsher. They had to examine every member of Eternal Tower carefully.

High in the sky, the purple-robed Palace Lady Ingenious Dharma looked at Black Fiend Hall’s fiends. She then looked down at the countless cultivators in despair and panic. She recalled what she had experienced back then and thought to herself, The world is just like this. The weak are just so powerless. They can’t even control their own fates. I want to protect Ingenious Dharma Planet, but… I’ve already done my best.

Eternal Tower will only send my request for reinforcements to the few Sixth Tribulation Eminences in the surrounding river zones. When those people receive the news, they will probably throw it to the side and ignore it. Palace Lady Ingenious Dharma looked up and waited for the moment the array formation cracked.

Suddenly, she was stunned.

A white-robed, white-haired man abruptly appeared outside Ingenious Dharma Planet. He appeared out of thin air without any warning.

The moment he appeared, his aura didn’t converge at all. It naturally enveloped a five-billion-kilometer area. Be it the array formation on Ingenious Dharma Planet or the array formations set up by Black Fiend Hall’s members, none of them could stop him. His aura spread out.

The people around him were like ants looking up at a giant dragon. They trembled instinctively.

All living beings…

The Tribulation Eminences, Imperial Lords, and the tens of thousands of Supremacies standing on Ingenious Dharma Planet looked up at the outer realm void. When they saw the white-robed, white-haired man, their minds went blank. They stopped thinking.

Outside Ingenious Dharma Planet, Black Fiend Hall’s members and Starlord Burning Seawho was tearing apart the array formationstopped what they were doing and turned to look at the white-robed, white-haired man in horror.

The weaker Tribulation Eminences and Imperial Lords’ minds went blank. They couldn’t think. However, the five Fifth Tribulation Eminences and Starlord Burning Sea could still think since Meng Chuan wasn’t deliberately using his moves.

“White Avian Hall, City Lord Eastcalm!” The skeletal lifeform let out a sharp cry. “Retreat!”

The Tribulation Eminences—who could still think clearly-instinctively wanted to flee. There were many of them, and all of them had their own means of escaping. If they split up and fled, a few might have a chance of escaping.

The white-robed, white-haired man stood in the void. His eyes were dark as though a vast world existed in his pupils’ depths.

He scanned the area.

Starlord Burning Sea, five Fifth Tribulation Eminences, 17 Fourth Tribulation Eminences, and more than 50 weak Tribulation Eminences from Black Fiend Hall had their Essence Souls destroyed. Furthermore, this terrifying attack pursued the Tribulation Eminences through karma.
