Li Chen arrived at a stronghold outside the Ancient Battle Realm, claiming to be from the Heavenly Realm. His unfamiliarity and the vast distance from his supposed origin raised suspicion among the guards, who suspected him of being a You Hun. Just as they prepared to capture him, Moluo Heavenly Lord intervened, revealing Li Chen to be the legendary Red Dust Heavenly King, now the Red Dust Heavenly Sovereign, known for his incredible power.

This Moluo Heavenly Lord was one of those who witnessed Li Chen killing the Immortal Emperor with the strength of the Domain Realm and even transcending two ranks like the Domain Realm and Soul Realm in the Ancient Battle Realm.

Originally, when Moluo Heavenly Lord received the message to rush for support, he felt somewhat dissatisfied.

After all, countless Supreme Heavenly Kings and Lords were participating in the battle in the Heaven Realm. Why would a small Heavenly King encounter danger and require him, the Heavenly Sovereign of the Realm of Shen Tian, to provide support?

However, after witnessing that scene, Moluo Heavenly Lord had no complaints whatsoever.

This one is definitely a peer to the Mad Celestial Sovereign, or perhaps an even more terrifying existence.

The most shocking accomplishment of the Mad Celestial Sovereign was facing off against a Heavenly Venerable Level expert while he was still a Heavenly King.

Even then, the Mad Celestial Sovereign only faced a Seventh-Rank Heavenly Sovereign, and the result was inconclusive: it was hard to say who was stronger or weaker.

But this person achieved tangible battle results.

With the cultivation of a Sixth-order Celestial King, he forcibly slew an Eighth-Rank Immortal Emperor. If he hadn’t seen it with his own eyes, honestly, Moluo Heavenly Lord wouldn’t have believed it a bit.

But having witnessed it personally, he had no choice but to believe.

It’s worth noting that when he was a Sixth Rank, he could transcend major realms and slay an Immortal Emperor. Now, having undergone an unknown encounter, he has quickly ascended to the same level as them. At this point, how strong is he now?

Moluo Heavenly Lord didn’t even dare to think about it.

In any case, Moluo Heavenly Lord believed that combining forces with his people, they probably wouldn’t be a match against the Red Dust Heavenly Sovereign.

Of course, if Moluo Heavenly Lord knew that Li Chen directly ascended from a Sixth-order Celestial King to an Eighth-Rank Heavenly Sovereign by overcoming two tribulations in the Little Secret Realm, his jaw would likely drop in shock.

It’s just that the matter of Li Chen overcoming two tribulations in the Little Secret Realm seems not to have spread yet.

"Red Dust Heavenly Sovereign?!"

Heavenly Venerable Qingyu muttered twice, not out of fear, but he had heard legends about this Red Dust Heavenly Sovereign whose past achievements were so frightful that he found them hard to believe.

"This sovereign seems somewhat familiar?" At this time, Li Chen also noticed that the tense atmosphere seemed to have eased a bit, then looked at Moluo Heavenly Lord and asked.

Li Chen vaguely remembered Moluo Heavenly Lord but not very deeply, so he asked.

Moluo Heavenly Lord touched his nose somewhat embarrassedly; he was after all a Heavenly Sovereign of the Realm of Shen Tian, but the man hardly remembered.

Yet, it was understandable; in such a tense atmosphere with so many people around, it was normal for Li Chen not to remember him.

"Well... I am Moluo. Back in the Ancient Battle Realm, I was fortunate enough to witness the glorious moment when Brother Red Dust slew the Purple Armored Immortal Emperor from the Immortal Realm," Moluo said.

Li Chen nodded: "I see."

With Moluo Heavenly Lord’s reminder, he recalled indeed there was such a person.

He remembered some people were envious of his Supreme Treasure at the time, but the group with this guy was sensible enough to retreat quickly without causing any trouble.

Li Chen was aware if Moluo Heavenly Lord’s group had truly intended to take action against him then, it likely wouldn’t have been favourable for him.

"Is Brother Red Dust coming back from the Ancient Battle Realm this time?" Seeing the misunderstanding cleared up, Moluo Heavenly Lord seized the opportunity to ask.

"No." Li Chen shook his head. Since he had already said he came from the Heaven Realm, he was reluctant to change his story: "I encountered some issues in the Ancient Battle Realm, entered a special passage, and directly returned to the Heaven Realm, coming over again this time."

Moluo Heavenly Lord opened his mouth but couldn’t speak for quite some time.

If these words were not spoken by Li Chen, he wouldn’t have believed them.

Coming from the Heaven Realm? Sounds easy, but how distant is the Heaven Realm?

However, Moluo Heavenly Lord quickly recalled some rumors.

Back when the name Red Dust Heavenly King first appeared in the Borderland Realm, some people, including himself, vaguely heard some news.

This Red Dust Heavenly King possessed Supreme Treasures.

Moreover, possibly more than one!

During the Ancient Battle Realm, he also personally witnessed a true Supreme Treasure... of course, he didn’t dare to have any designs on it.

"Since it’s a misunderstanding, let’s not hold any grudge. Brother Red Dust, please come in," Moluo Heavenly Lord thought to himself and then put on a smiling face.

The Mad Celestial Sovereign was too arrogant, but this Red Dust Heavenly Sovereign seemed quite amiable. Befriending such a person might be very helpful in the future; after all, he felt that befriending someone with unlimited potential is never a bad thing.

Before Li Chen grew up, it was uncertain, but now he’s a Heavenly Sovereign, and not befriending him now might mean missing the chance in the future.

The saying goes, "If an old man doesn’t die, he’s a monster," and although Moluo Heavenly Lord hadn’t reached the point of great wisdom, as an old Heavenly Sovereign, having lived so many years, he quickly adjusted his mindset.

Li Chen glanced at the others, then nodded.

The others still seemed a bit awkward, as they had been rather aggressive before, and it wasn’t easy for everyone to change their attitude right away; after all, everyone cared about their dignity.

"Does Brother Red Dust have any urgent matters for coming back hastily from the Heaven Realm?" Moluo Heavenly Lord asked.

"Indeed, there are some matters." Li Chen nodded: "By the way, I heard there’s going to be a meeting of the Four Realms?"

"That’s right, King Yilin has already gone with people, but half a month has passed and there seems to be no news yet," Moluo Heavenly Lord said.

"It’s been so long and still no news?" Li Chen’s brows furrowed slightly: "Moluo Brother, do you know where the meeting place is?"

"This..." Hearing this, Moluo Heavenly Lord immediately showed a bitter smile: "Brother Red Dust, it’s not that I don’t want to tell you, but there’s a set number for the meeting, and even if others want to go, they’re not allowed to cause any hustle."

Li Chen’s face instantly turned difficult.

King Yilin!

Upon hearing this name, Li Chen couldn’t help but be stirred in his heart.

A series of memories surged madly in his mind, and the more they surfaced, the more Li Chen felt he couldn’t suppress his longing.

"No way, I must go. Those old fellows from the Three Realms aren’t pushovers; I can’t rest assured without seeing it myself," Li Chen thought to himself.

Just then, a loud explosion suddenly sounded from the sky behind several people.

A crack unexpectedly tore open in space.

Then countless strange creatures rushed out from it, overwhelming like a tide.

Seeing this scene, the faces of the group darkened.

"Void creatures!" Heavenly Venerable Qingyu said with a solemn voice.

In a place like outside the Ancient Battle Realm, besides guarding against enemies from the several realms, one must be cautious of these... void creatures!
