Meng Chuan sighed in amazement as he looked around. The surrounding spacetime distorted into a tunnel as he followed Daolord Evodia and advanced through it at high speeds.

Ive left the River of Spacetime and my home universe. At Meng Chuans realm, he could clearly sense that he had left the River of Spacetime and arrived in an unfamiliar, vast land.

The spacetime here was strange. In other words, the composition of spacetime outside the universe had already exceeded Meng Chuans understanding. If he were to act alone, he wouldnt dare to teleport randomly. He was afraid of accidentally entering a dangerous place.

Theres no end beyond the universe, Daolord Evodia said.

This is Chaos? Meng Chuan looked outside the tunnel. He had heard that there were Chaos creatures in the Chaos beyond the universe.

Outside the colorful time tunnel was darkness. Light occasionally flashed, and the spacetime layer was beyond bizarre.

Thats right. One needs to have the strength of an Eighth Tribulation Eminence to travel long distances in the Chaos, said Daolord Evodia. For example, those Chaos creatures only move around the region they were born in. If they go too far, they will be lost and unable to return. Even if they have avatars and can sense the direction, spacetime is chaotic in the Chaos. Its useless to advance in a direction.

Meng Chuan nodded slightly.

Only by mastering the complete spacetime law can one travel through spacetime and head to many mysterious places. They can also head to other universes, Daolord Evodia said.

How many universes are there in the endless spacetime? asked Meng Chuan curiously.

Thats unknown. Daolord Evodia shook his head. This is a mystery! Even an Eighth Tribulation Eminence can only travel a very small portion of the endless spacetime. Its very rare for them to pass by 100-plus universes. Ive only explored 15 universes in my life, but Ive heard of over 10,000 universes.

Over 10,000? Meng Chuan was astonished.

The endless spacetime will naturally give birth to universes. Eternal existences can casually create universes. Even Eighth Tribulation Eminences and the strongest powerhouses can open up universes. Furthermore, a universe also has moments of destruction. Therefore, the number of universes is uncertain. In fact, they are constantly changing, said Daolord Evodia. The number of known universes is more than 10,000. However, endless spacetime is too large. How many Eighth Tribulation Eminences can we see in our lives? Only Eternal existences can know all the secrets of endless spacetime.

Eternal existences? Meng Chuan asked the question in his mind. Daolord, is the master you mentioned an Eternal existence?

Daolord Evodia turned to look at Meng Chuan. He smiled and nodded slightly. Thats right. An Eternal existence stands at the highest point in the endless spacetime. They look down on all living beings and all the universes. They are truly omnipotent.

Omnipotent? asked Meng Chuan. To make an Eighth Tribulation Eminence say that one was omnipotent?

An Eternal existence is much stronger than an Eighth Tribulation Eminence. Daolord Evodia sighed. You should know that Tribulation Eminences experience tribulations one after another, each harder than the one before. The Eighth Tribulation realm to the Eternal realm is like a chasm. Many Eighth Tribulation Eminences have long given up.

Meng Chuan fell into deep thought.

Imperial Lords can reach the Tribulation realm after attaining a perfected body or experiencing an Essence Soul breakthrough. Newly-advanced Tribulation Eminences can typically reach the Second Tribulation realm easily. Its slightly difficult to reach the Third Tribulation realm, but its even harder to reach the Fourth Tribulation realm, said Daolord Evodia. Typically, only one in ten can reach the Fifth Tribulation realm from the Fourth Tribulation realm! There are typically only one in 200 Fifth Tribulation Eminences that can advance to the Sixth Tribulation realm! Only one in thousands can reach the Sixth Tribulation realm from the Fifth Tribulation realm.

Meng Chuan nodded slightly. It was very difficult to reach the Seventh Tribulation realm. Seventh Tribulation Eminences generally had much longer lifespans than Sixth Tribulation Eminences, but there were only less than 30 Seventh Tribulation Eminences in this era.

As for the Seventh Tribulation realm to the Eighth Tribulation realm? Even if our home universe has a very rich heritage, only one Eighth Tribulation Eminence appears out of tens of thousands of Seventh Tribulation Eminences, said Daolord Evodia with a sigh. As for the Eighth Tribulation realm to the Eternal realm? Im afraid not even one Eternal will appear out of millions of Eighth Tribulation Eminences. I dont know how many living beings there are in the endless spacetime Even after so many years, only a few Eternal Eminences have been born.

Not even one in millions of Eighth Tribulation Eminences produces one? Meng Chuan was somewhat dazed. Its that exaggerated?

Eighth Tribulation Eminences are very rare as well, said Daolord Evodia. It takes us a long time to encounter one while roaming the Chaos. We are actually quite lonely; most of the time, we sleep for millions or even hundreds of millions of years.

Meng Chuan thought about it and agreed.

The distance between universes was too great. Daolord Evodia had only explored 15 universes to date. Exploring a universe didnt mean that one could see all the Eighth Tribulation Eminences that had been born in that particular universes history.

Some of those Eighth Tribulation Eminences roamed beyond their universes, some died, and some crossed this period of time and chose to appear in a temporal node a billion years in the future. Therefore, it wasnt easy for an Eighth Tribulation Eminence to encounter another Eighth Tribulation Eminence.

It was indeed lonely.

Its very rare to meet an Eighth Tribulation Eminence, but its even harder to meet an Eternal existence, said Daolord Evodia wistfully. Therefore, Im very lucky to be Masters in-name disciple. Its also a great opportunity for you; you have to grasp it.

Meng Chuan nodded slightly.

Master has cultivated to the Eternal realm. The Dao of Painting, the Dao of the Sword He is omniscient in many paths. Daolord Evodia sighed. Just by looking at my 19 paintings, he was inspired and created that six-stroke painting. To comprehend this painting mystic technique, the threshold is actually extremely high. Firstly, one has to be at the Seventh Tribulation realm and grasp an Origins law to comprehend it. Secondly, one has to have extraordinary perception. Thirdlyand most importantlyone has to have a pair of eyes that can paint worlds.

A pair of eyes that can paint worlds? Meng Chuan fell into deep thought.

Master created this mystic technique by using the Dao of Painting to deconstruct all things. Daolord Evodia continued, If you want to gain insights into it, you first need to spend a long period of time using the art of painting to deconstruct all things. Only with this pair of eyes can you have a chance of learning this technique.

Meng Chuan nodded slightly. He understood.

In fact, his past cultivation involved painting worlds. In fact, the Essence Soul formulation he created was the Painting World. He condensed a painting Essence Soul that reflected everything in the world.

He had already embarked on this path. As for the six-stroke runic seal, it was an extremely high achievement on this path. Only by accumulating enough insights on this path and having high perceptivity could he learn this formulation.

Cultivators travel through the endless spacetime on rugged paths. Theres no such thing as undue favoritism, said Daolord Evodia. Eternal existences have extremely high requirements when choosing disciples. For example, you have to comprehend the Painting Dao mystic technique first before passing the test at Dry Origin Mountain. Only then will you be an in-name disciple.

Meng Chuan nodded slightly.

In fact, its not bad to reach the Eighth Tribulation realm. Daolord Evodia looked at the outside world. His speed in the spacetime tunnel was terrifying. Every moment, he traversed seemingly countless universes. Although Eighth Tribulation Eminences have differences in strength, once one reaches the Eighth Tribulation realm, they will grasp the spacetime law. They will have all sorts of means. Its very difficult to kill them at the same level.

Its very difficult to kill? Meng Chuan couldnt help but say, Our home universe has many Eighth Tribulation Eminences corpses.

Eighth Tribulation Eminences control spacetime. Even a drop of blood, a strand of hair, or even a book they personally wrote can be used as a mark to be reborn, said Daolord Evodia. Therefore, unless the strength difference between Eighth Tribulation Eminences is ridiculously great, they are unkillable.

What do you mean by ridiculously great? asked Meng Chuan.

Eighth Tribulation Eminences are also divided into the strong and weak. They can barely be divided into ordinary Eighth Tribulation Eminences, top Eighth Tribulation Eminences, and peak Eighth Tribulation Eminences, said Daolord Evodia. A peak Eighth Tribulation Eminence has truly reached their limits. Many of their means are already close to the Eternal realm. For example, they can open up or destroy a universe. Its the case that if a living being below the Eternal realm hears their names, they can use this to revive. Any book that records their names can also be used for revival.

They can live just by remembering them? Meng Chuan found it unbelievable.

Therefore, only when Eternals make a move and destroy all traces of their existence in the endless spacetime such that the Eight Tribulation Eminence no longer exists in the memories of all living beings will they truly die, said Daolord Evodia. This is the limit of the Eighth Tribulation realm. Our home universes Dragon Ancestor is at this level. This is also why our home universe is famous everywhere.

Meng Chuan was shocked.

It was no wonder that generations of Seventh Tribulation Eminences in his home universe knew very little about Eighth Tribulation Eminences. They didnt know which Eighth Tribulation Eminences existed in history, but they vaguely believed that Dragon Ancestor was the strongest. No faction had ever refuted this claim.

Only a peak Eighth Tribulation Eminence can kill an ordinary Eighth Tribulation Eminence, said Daolord Evodia. As long as one becomes a top Eighth Tribulation Eminence, their means will be even more brilliant. A peak Eighth Tribulation Eminence wont be able to do anything to them. In our home universe, the famous Fiend Mountain owner and Eternal Tower owner are all top Eighth Tribulation Eminences. As for me

Meng Chuan looked at him curiously.

Ive only cultivated for a short period of time, and my perception is lacking. Im still only an ordinary Eighth Tribulation Eminence. Daolord Evodia sighed. Im really ashamed.

Daolord Evodia is only an ordinary Eighth Tribulation Eminence? From the looks of it, its very difficult for an Eighth Tribulation Eminence to improve.

Of course, Im lucky to be Masters disciple. Ill only die of old age; its impossible for me to be killed. Daolord Evodia smiled as he glanced at Meng Chuan. Even if I die completely and all traces of me in the endless spacetime are wiped away, Master will be able to retrieve me from the spacetime.

Meng Chuan was shocked when he heard that. He can live despite that?

Its impossible to be killed once you are a disciple of an Eternal existence. This is also why many Eighth Tribulation Eminences are envious of us, said Daolord Evodia as he looked into the distance. Therefore, you have to pass the Dry Origin Mountain test.
