Li Chen faces powerful monsters whose physical bodies are incredibly strong and protected by Gang Qi. His Darkness Law incarnations are destroyed by a monster's Death Law breath. Li Chen then uses his Red Moon blade, employing 'Cease Spear' and 'Blade of Self-Slaughter,' to incapacitate a charging monster by trapping its soul, astounding onlookers.

Could it be that this seemingly unstoppable monster was actually immobilized by that youth in a single strike?

What kind of power was that?

Due to the considerable distance, they were unable to discern the specific power or mystical artifact Li Chen employed. They could only watch in utter astonishment as Li Chen took his seat amid the void, his focus entirely on refining something.

They struggled to comprehend his actions.

Since the monster was already incapacitated, why wouldn't he seize the moment to vanquish it?

However, in the subsequent instant, all the observing cultivators finally grasped Li Chen's intention.

With the final Formation Flag tossed into place, Li Chen rose and gestured towards the immobilized monster.

"Activate the formation!"

"Endless Domain!"

Witnessing the surge of radiance enveloping the monster, a chorus of powerful figures couldn't help but draw sharp breaths.

A Seventh Level Peak Trapping Formation, the Endless Domain Array! They realized the youth wasn't attempting to kill the beast, but rather to capture it alive!

"Hmm~~" Li Chen pondered for a moment, still feeling a pang of unease. He waved his hand, and a spatial tear materialized beside him, from which a somewhat ethereal shadow emerged.

"Please help oversee this Trapping Formation and keep watch on what's within while we explore," Li Chen instructed the shadowy figure.

"Understood." The illusory shadow responded with a smile, then surveyed the vast expanse of the starry sky. "Is this the outside world?"

"It's truly beautiful."

Chapter 1929: The Astonishment of the Formation Spirit

A peculiar spectacle unfolded against the backdrop of the starry sky.

A lone youth was in constant motion, traversing the celestial expanse. At intervals, he would alight upon a planet or a meteorite, conducting an inspection with a tap or a knock before moving on.

This behavior, in itself, was quite ordinary. Following the emergence of those monstrous entities, many cultivators hesitated to carelessly activate the protective restrictions on planets or meteorites.

However, the strangeness lay in the fact that this youth was accompanied by a sphere approximately one person's height!

Or, to be more precise, it wasn't just any sphere; it was a Seventh Level Peak Trapping Formation, the Infinite Domain Array!

Were one close enough to the youth, they might even discern a minuscule black speck, nearly imperceptible, frantically scurrying within the sphere. Yet, in comparison to the sphere itself, this black dot was so infinitesimally small that it appeared as though it hadn't moved at all from an external perspective, regardless of its frantic exertions.

"Is this your initial venture out?"

"Yes," the illusory shadow beside Li Chen confirmed with a nod. "As far as my consciousness extends, I have resided within that confined space. This is my very first glimpse of the external world, the genuine starry sky."

"In truth, this doesn't quite qualify as a genuine starry sky," Li Chen countered, shaking his head. "My impression is that this is a deliberately constructed starry realm. It's not that the sky itself is false, but rather it doesn't seem to possess an actual connection to the vastness beyond."

"And not due to formations?" Lan Liuyue inquired, his head tilted.

"Naturally, I am aware it's not formations. If it were, do you imagine Master Eight would fail to perceive it?" Li Chen asked playfully, glancing at him.

"Master Eight's profound understanding of formations is, without question, unparalleled throughout the starry sky," Lan Liuyue concurred with genuine admiration.

This individual, originally the Formation Spirit – Lan Liuyue – that Li Chen had acquired outside the Battle Palace from the Sky-Deceiving Ocean-Covering Grand Array, had initially sought only to extricate himself from his predicament, compromising with Li Chen out of sheer necessity. However, upon witnessing the extraordinary assets Li Chen possessed, his conviction was absolute.

Setting aside all other considerations, the mere possession of a personal minor world was an accomplishment virtually unattainable for any other cultivator.

In the Heaven Realm, Martial Artists developed domains, with the Domain Realm serving as the embryonic form of such a domain. Upon ascending to the Soul Realm, a domain would manifest, acting as the precursor to a minor world. Legend held that reaching the Palm Realm might allow one to refine a domain into a true world, though the veracity of this tale remained unknown.

Yet, here was Li Chen, possessing a minor world at the Domain Realm stage, one that appeared to have naturally formed as an Origin World. This Origin World held the potential to evolve into a veritable Starry Universe!

Furthermore, throughout the years, Li Chen had meticulously cultivated a multitude of Spirit Grass and Spiritual Objects within his minor world. This cultivation had begun to imbue it with a burgeoning vitality, and its spatial dimensions were continuously expanding.

Li Chen had not undertaken precise calculations, but by his estimation, his minor world should now rival the scale of a smaller star system, akin to the Solar System of his original earthly home.

Beyond this, Lan Liuyue had observed several Supreme Treasures traversing the minor world, leaving him utterly speechless.

How could a single individual possibly command ownership of so many Supreme Treasures?

Could he possibly be the clandestine offspring of the Starry Universe's very creator?

What brought Lan Liuyue the greatest delight and wonder, however, was the presence of the Bagua Array Diagram alongside Li Chen.

For a Formation Spirit, what represented the pinnacle of pride?

The Formation Path! What was their ultimate passion?

Equally, the Formation Path!

The Bagua Array Diagram, in certain aspects, can be considered the origin of the Formation Path.

During its few excursions into the mortal realm, Li Chen established a complete connection with it, subsequently referring to it as 'Master Eight'.

"Aren't you going to remove these restraints, Boss?" inquired the former Ninth-Level Grand Formation Spirit who was accompanying Li Chen.

"Is the beast contained?" Li Chen directed his gaze toward Lan Liuyue.

"Set your mind at ease," Lan Liuyue responded with conviction, nearly thumping his chest in reassurance. "With me on guard, no matter how potent the beast becomes, it shall not break free!"

Li Chen gave a nod. Indeed, as a Ninth-Level Grand Formation Spirit tasked with overseeing a Seventh-Level Great Formation, its might was comparable to that of an Eighth-Level Grand Formation. The presence of a Formation Spirit significantly amplifies a formation's efficacy.

Moreover, the beast, despite its physical prowess, possessed limited intelligence, rendering any attempt to breach the formation futile.

As for forcibly dismantling the formation... The notion was preposterous. With a Ninth-Level Grand Formation Spirit present, such a feat was utterly impossible.

Just as Lan Liuyue asserted, even if its strength were to increase a hundredfold, it would still fall short.

Upon hearing Lan Liuyue's assurance, Li Chen shifted his attention to another area. "I am not removing those restraints because I am aware that there is nothing of value within them, thus making the effort unwarranted."

"Boss, can you perceive what lies beyond those restraints?" Lan Liuyue asked, his voice laced with astonishment.

Li Chen offered no verbal reply, continuing his leisurely pace through the expanse of the starry sky.

Those restraints were indeed exceptional, yet Li Chen possessed hidden advantages, or 'cheats' as it were.

Li Chen had momentarily forgotten about it, his focus solely on analyzing the patterns of the restraints with the Eye of the Dao. However, upon his initial attempt, he discovered that the Eye of the Dao could indeed penetrate them.

Consequently, he commenced his exploration.

"There are a considerable number of treasures here," Li Chen mused internally. "If I were to extract too many without producing a beast, suspicion would arise among others. For the time being, it would be best to locate Tian Yi and the others."

With this thought, Li Chen retrieved his Jade Slip, intending to activate the Sword Intent contained within.

However, prior to activating the Sword Intent, the Jade Slip suddenly emitted a faint glow.

A surge of Sword Intent, uniquely belonging to Li Chen, emanated from the distant reaches of the starry sky.

Li Chen's brows furrowed.

He pocketed the Jade Pendant, immediately opened a Space Gate, and stepped through.

...

"Huff——"

Christina gasped for air, her breaths heavy.

She was surrounded by a multitude of cultivators, including martial artists, celestial beings from the Heaven Realm, and demons from the Demon Realm.

Scattered around her, they numbered in the dozens.

These formidable individuals, numbering in the dozens, observed her with the intensity of famished wolves.

Or, more accurately, their attention was fixed upon a copper coin she held in her hand.

The copper coin bore an ancient inscription, which some among the knowledgeable cultivators recognized from ancient lore; it read... Emperor!

Furthermore, the copper coin exuded faint and indistinct auras.

These subtle emanations sent all the powerful figures into a state of fervent excitement.

This was because, despite the subtleness of the aura, it carried an overwhelming pressure that none had ever experienced before.

It indicated a realm far beyond the Soul Realm!!

This implied that the copper coin might possibly belong to the legendary powerhouses of the Palm Realm, the Four Emperors!
