Li Chen, despite being in the Soul Realm, unleashes incredible power. He frees Zhang Lu and then swiftly defeats a powerful True Realm opponent who uses the Law of Destruction and Space. Other allies are also equipped with powerful artifacts to face their own enemies.

Turning his head, Li Chen didn’t spare that True Realm another glance, and swept directly toward the others.

That True Realm was indeed quite powerful, but it also depended on what kind of enemy he was facing.

In Li Chen’s hands, he clearly didn’t have much strength to struggle.

Li Chen’s blade that slew the True Realm was simply too fast, so fast that even the others nearby hadn’t seen what had happened.

They only saw Li Chen approach that True Realm expert among the Doomsday Beast Soul, and then saw that True Realm expert clutch his own glabella.

"This is Unsheathed."

Li Chen murmured in his heart, "But it’s no longer the Sword Technique Unsheathed, it’s the Divine Skill—Unsheathed!"

The transformation from a pure Technique into a Divine Skill was not easy; even Li Chen had spent a full two hundred years to completely transform all of his Sword Techniques into Divine Skills.

A true Divine Skill meant that Technique and Law had both reached a realm of perfect fusion, from then on no longer divided into Technique and Law, leaving only a single, pure... Divine Skill!

This one Unsheathed slash not only cut this True Realm cleanly in two, it also directly cleaved apart his Divine Soul along with the Soul of the Law belonging to the Doomsday Beast Soul within.

The reason no one saw Li Chen draw his blade was because that slash was already so fast it could no longer be captured; within a billionth of a blink, the process of unsheathing and sheathing was completed.

A powerful True Realm died just like that, bafflingly.

Yet even up to the moment of his death, he still didn’t understand how he had died.

Because he too had not seen that slash.

Li Chen’s Six Great Knife Forms, now his Six Great Divine Abilities, actually had no true ranking of higher or lower; the only difference lay in the situation they were used in and the enemy they faced.

Unsheathed, as the first Sword Technique Li Chen ever created, walked an extreme path of pursuing speed.

When speed reached its extreme, one could also achieve One Slash Shatters Ten Thousand Laws, nothing able to block it.

This was the realm of "only speed is unbreakable."

Seeing Li Chen kill a True Realm so quickly, Zhang Lu was clearly anxious as well and erupted at the same time.

"Divine Skill—Overwhelming Star Sea!!"

What Zhang Lu had obtained was indeed a Palm Realm Inheritance.

Moreover, it was an extremely powerful Inheritance.

The one who left this Inheritance was an extremely powerful Heaven and Earth Realm Ancient Ancestor of the Seven Realms era, known as the Lord of the Star Sea.

In that era, many people even believed that the Lord of the Star Sea was almost among the top few of the strongest Ancient Ancestors; his strength had reached a level almost comparable to a Dao Saint.

And what he was most skilled at was Refine Stars into Sea, using that to face his enemies.

It could be said that as long as he was in the Starry Sky, this Ancient Ancestor could maximize his advantage.

And at that level, how many would still choose to fight on land?

Besides the Star Sea–type Divine Skills specially named by this Lord of the Star Sea, he was also adept in the most fearsome Seal Divine Power in the Starry Universe.

The True Word Nine Seals came from the hand of this very Lord of the Star Sea.

After receiving the Lord of the Star Sea’s Inheritance, Zhang Lu’s strength skyrocketed to a truly terrifying level.

He was even much stronger than in the days when he was renowned in the Heaven Realm and known as the Asura Blood Emperor!

"Rumble!!"

The Star Sea instantly drowned the True Realm he was facing, and at the same time Zhang Lu also unfolded the True Word Nine Seals, directly sealing that True Realm expert and using the Star Sea to refine him alive into ashes, leaving not the slightest trace behind.

With half a Doomsday Beast Soul fused into his Soul, he understood the weaknesses of the Doomsday Beast Soul even better than Li Chen.

Bai Tianyi and Zhang Shutong also began fighting with the help of their Supreme Treasures; the two of them alone blocked nearly ten Soul Realm experts.

With the protection of Supreme Treasures, those Soul Realm experts could hardly break their Defense, while the two only needed to unleash their attacks without restraint.

"Nine Palaces Annihilating Path!"

The Nine Palaces Heavenly Bead spread across heaven and earth, forming a gigantic point of star radiance, firmly suppressing many Domains so they could no longer be deployed.

Having lost the protection of their Domains, those Soul Realm experts appeared all the more fragile in their eyes, and several were slain in the blink of an eye.

By this time, Li Chen had already charged toward Heavenly Venerable Qinglong and the others.

Zhang Lu closely followed.

In an instant, once Li Chen and Zhang Lu broke free, the situation on the field completely reversed.

Li Chen did not allow the other experts of the Borderland Realm to intervene; instead, he waved them back.

Since the overall situation was already decided, there was no need to incur unnecessary casualties.

Aside from a few True Realms, everyone else was firmly blocked outside by Li Chen’s World Seed, unable to cross the World Seed’s range to attack others.

With Li Chen and Zhang Lu’s assistance, the few True Realms were soon successfully slain.

Even the last one who had been entangled with Heavenly Venerable Qinglong and, seeing the situation turn bad, was preparing to flee—Slaughter Star—was captured alive by Li Chen.

This man had also once been a Heavenly Venerate of the Heaven Realm, and a Ninth-Order Heavenly Venerate at that, named Purple Luo Heavenly Venerable. But now, after being corroded by the Doomsday Beast Soul, he had completely lost himself, even calling himself Slaughter Star and becoming a member of the Doomsday Beast Soul.

Li Chen spared his life not for any other reason, but because he wanted to know whether there was any possibility of saving those experts who had been corroded by the Doomsday Beast Soul.

After all, back then Jun Zhixin had also seemed to be corroded by the Doomsday Beast Soul, yet he had been rescued by Li Chen.

As for the others...

"With our current power, it would be very difficult to capture so many in one fell swoop; they’re extremely likely to escape. But if we send people from the Borderland Realm to hunt them down, there’s also the risk of them being counter-killed." Hesitation rose in Li Chen’s heart.

At his side, Heavenly Venerable Qinglong patted Li Chen’s shoulder. "At a time like this, you can’t hesitate."

"I understand."

Li Chen nodded, and Red Moon Unsheathed; a blood-colored blade light flashed out, crushing the firmament as it swept directly across the large group of experts corroded by the Doomsday Beast Soul.

"Divine Skill—unsheathing the sword."

"Boom, boom, boom!!"

That large group of experts had practically no power to resist beneath Li Chen’s slash and were directly cut down. Under such absolute Power, even if they resisted, it was nothing but superfluous.

At this moment, Zhang Shutong, Zhang Lu, and Bai Tianyi also came to Li Chen’s side, and the Supreme Treasures automatically flew back into Li Chen’s body.

Looking at the ravaged Starry Sky around them, Zhang Shutong seemed somewhat moved. "It’s truly... hard not to sigh."

Li Chen, however, turned to Zhang Lu at this moment. "In this contest, it seems I’ve won."

Zhang Lu remained silent.

"In that case, you no longer have any reason to continue your revenge, do you?" Li Chen patted Zhang Lu on the shoulder. "Come on, I’ll accompany you to stroll around the Borderland Realm, and in a bit, I’ll show you something."

Zhang Lu still didn’t speak, but that was as good as tacit agreement.

"Everyone, it’s over. Go back to your own business." Li Chen cupped his fists toward the group of experts in the distance.

With a rushing sound, Li Chen, Heavenly Venerable Qinglong, and the others, leading a large group, once again returned to the Borderland Realm.
