Li Chen faced a progenitor's projection, a being of the Ninth Order. While the projection attacked with water-based techniques, Li Chen countered with his mastery of earth and space laws, even imprisoning the progenitor's attacks. The progenitor then unleashed its ultimate strike, "Wrath of the Sea God," a powerful halberd imbued with water and lightning, which Li Chen prepared to face with all his might.

"Come on!"

Faced with such an awe-inspiring strike, Li Chen’s face carried a smile.

At the moment the war halberd descended, an oppressive aura also surged from Li Chen’s body.

"Zzzz—"

The war halberd was enormous, and before it even struck, its overwhelming presence oppressed the entire surrounding world. In instances where beings of this grade make their move, escape was nearly impossible, which is why they are termed invincible.

Because even before their attacks landed, their aura had already pressed everything down, leaving no escape for their enemies.

The aura of the war halberd tore through the air, shredded the space, and ripped apart everything that could be torn, even seeming to tear apart the laws themselves.

"Unite!"

Li Chen’s expression turned solemn. The Seven Slaying Sword and Red Moon crossed instantly.

"Blood Fiend!"

When vital essence and evil qi merged together, they exploded with a distinctively dazzling brilliance. The same scorching brilliance lit up, and at that moment, the overwhelming blood sha aura was entirely on par with the terrifying and brilliant war halberd descending.

Though this was merely the progenitor’s attack, as a Ninth Order expert, the progenitor was still an incredibly formidable existence, and even Li Chen could not afford to be careless.

Although he had not summoned a supreme treasure, Li Chen was already giving it his all.

"Boom!!"

A tremendous sound echoed from the sky.

The war halberd, with dazzling blue brilliance, clashed with the blood sha aura, instantly overwhelming it. Although the blue brilliance dimmed somewhat, it resolutely slashed toward Li Chen.

Li Chen’s eyes focused sharply, and he pointed a finger.

"Myriad Worlds!}{Myriad Worlds Void!"}

This finger was not a simple strike; it was an ultimate divine skill evolved from the void realm space law Li Chen currently comprehended. With one point, it manifested as if myriad worlds appeared simultaneously in the void, blocking the path of the war halberd, making it impossible to extinguish the myriad worlds.

At the same time, with a flash of blood, Red Moon returned to Li Chen’s hand.

"Cease Spear!"

The blade trembled, and the power of the time law instantly spread out. The war halberd, originally poised to shatter the myriad worlds, was forcefully frozen in place by Cease Spear’s time law power, unable to move.

Li Chen’s domain realm also spread out at this moment, directly penetrating his myriad worlds void and appearing around the immobilized war halberd.

"Void Mirror Image!"

As Li Chen’s domain realm unfolded, mirrors formed from space law appeared around the war halberd.

Terrifyingly, within these mirror images, blood-colored long swords were extended.

At first glance, these blood-colored long swords appeared to all be identical to Red Moon!

At this moment, Li Chen’s domain realm had created thousands upon thousands of Red Moons!

"Mirror Image—Unsheathing the Sword!"

"Boom!!"

Thousands of Red Moons swung simultaneously, and countless fierce and chaotic blade lights slashed forth, targeting the war halberd.

"Crack crack!"

Even the terrifyingly formidable war halberd, when struck by countless blade lights, emitted sounds of shattering that made one’s mind and spirit tremble.

Soon, beneath the seemingly endless blade lights, the terrifying war halberd was forcibly ground down.

Witnessing such a scene, even the enormous ancestral projection trembled slightly, grabbing the fish-headed expert, preparing to flee.

But Li Chen seemed to have anticipated it, and as the void trembled slightly, a long sword bathed in boundless evil qi suddenly emerged from the void, piercing through the projection’s forehead before it could react.

The ancestral projection was nailed in the air by the longsword, unable to move.

And the terrifying evil qi of the Seven Slaying Sword swept forth, causing the fish-headed expert’s eyes to turn blood red.

The nether demon qi seemed to have sniffed out a delicacy, madly eroding into the body of the fish-headed expert.

The fish-headed expert let out a terrifying roar, charging toward an unknown distance.

But everyone knew, with the nether demon qi invading him, his fate was sealed.

Li Chen did not pay any further attention to the fish-headed expert, instead turning his gaze to the ancestral projection.

Though the projection was pinned, it still turned its head, casting a cold glance at Li Chen, as if wanting to remember him deeply.

Eventually, swept by the evil qi of the Seven Slaying Sword, the projection slowly dissipated.

At this moment, the surroundings of Spirit Releasing Abyss fell into silent stillness.

An ancestral projection had even unleashed an invincible strike of the progenitor, but ultimately it was nailed in the void. Such a scene made many shudder, and some even discarded their treasures, fleeing from the forest surrounding Spirit Releasing Abyss.

Witnessing such a spectacle, the onlookers could no longer maintain their composure.

An existence of progenitor-grade invincibility had been vanquished.

Though it was merely a projection, the progenitor’s strike was undeniably potent!

Nevertheless, it was pinned in the void, an absolutely astonishing sight.

As for the cultivators who had intended to pilfer Li Chen, not a peep escaped their lips; they stood utterly dumbfounded, too terrified to even contemplate flight.

After all, if even an ancestral projection could be subdued, did they truly believe they possessed the means to escape?

Their hearts were now wracked with profound regret for having provoked such a formidable entity.

However, Li Chen’s continued silence rendered them paralyzed, too afraid to depart.

Suddenly, Li Chen tilted his head, his gaze directed towards the heavens.

Yet, after a mere fleeting observation, he retracted his stare, as if he had only cast a cursory glance.

Still, within the void, a certain figure could not help but wipe away a bead of cold sweat.

"Curses, I already sensed this brat wasn't ordinary, but I never anticipated him to be this utterly terrifying," muttered Black River as he ceased his intrusive observation, dabbing the cold sweat from his brow.

While Li Chen had consistently presented his cultivation as being within the Realm of Shen Tian, Black River, guided by an instinctual caution, harbored no ulterior motives towards him.

Had it been any other expert of the Ninth Order, they wouldn't have bothered with discourse; they would have simply apprehended him for interrogation.

However, upon recognizing the enigmatic depths of Li Chen’s capabilities, Black River refrained from any aggressive action, opting instead for a fair trade negotiation.

Black River harbored certain curiosities about Li Chen, which had prompted him to discreetly investigate using his divine skills.

It was only after observing Li Chen dismantle an ancestral projection that Black River’s suspicions were solidified.

Li Chen wasn't being boastful; he genuinely harbored no fear of any Ninth Order experts!

Of course, if it were merely a matter of dispatching an ancestral projection, Black River wouldn't be quite so apprehensive. Ninth Order cultivators each possessed their own unique strengths and weaknesses, and he was aware that the progenitor behind the projection was a comparatively weaker aquatic ancestor, far inferior to himself.

What truly stirred Black River's unease was the effortless manner in which Li Chen had handled the entire confrontation, as though he hadn't even begun to exert his true power.

This implied that the young man undoubtedly possessed even more astonishing latent potential!
