Thirteen Universe Beads

The Thirteen Universe Beads are a set of thirteen transparent beads that combine time- and space-lineage laws. They are the Seventh Tribulation treasure in Ancestral Master Archean Eon's vault most compatible with Meng Chuan, serving as both heavy projectiles and the cores of a shifting thirteen-space array.

History

A wartime loan becomes a signature high-level treasure

Archean Mountain first permits Meng Chuan to use the beads while preparing for the decisive demon war, when he may select several powerful treasures that will remain inside the homeworld. During the final battle, the beads smash Demon Sage Bai Fu's defensive array away and help break the demons' layered fortifications. (Chapters 533–534)

As Meng moves into the outer realm, he takes the beads as part of his permitted treasure allocation and wears them as a string on his wrist. Their value and compatibility make them a reserve weapon rather than something he exposes in every fight. He finally demonstrates their mature power against Grandsire Three Stones, feeding them accumulated lightning and trapping the stronger-bodied opponent inside the Thirteen Universe Formations. (Chapters 555–556, 564–566, and 617–618)

Abilities and properties

Thirteen spaces powered by lightning

The beads fuse time and spatial laws and act together like a world isolated from outside forces. Their built-in Thirteen Universe Formations make a target experience thirteen different spaces, with one bead anchoring each. The configuration can focus twelve beads' support into one attacker, divide support among three cores, or combine the spaces into a Chaos Hole-like arrangement. (Chapters 555–556 and 617–618)

Uses, limits, and current state

The beads can smash formations, resist external suction, confine movement, and strike as small-universe projectiles. Their output rises sharply when the Lightning Pool Chart supplies enough accumulated lightning, but Meng initially cannot release their full power; effectiveness depends on his realm, law compatibility, and available energy. A sufficiently forceful counterattack can disrupt the formation or seize an individual bead. Their rarity also changes how Meng deploys them: he leaves the set behind before entering Fiend Mountain rather than risk losing it. The latest explicit battle use leaves the set active in his possession. (Chapters 534, 555–556, 581, 591, and 617–618)
