Li Chen battles Behemoth in a chaotic spatial rift. Behemoth utilizes a powerful combat technique, draining Li Chen's Yuan Force with a Yin-Damaging Demonic Element. The narrative then delves into the cultivation realms, explaining Pseudo-Universes, Yin Universes, and Minor Universes. Li Chen, despite his enhanced power, struggles against Behemoth's Pseudo-Universe, but activates his Heavenly Eye to observe the laws within it, finding an opening.

This level of collision is truly too violent and terrifying. It’s no wonder the two chose to enter the spatial rift to fight, because even if they fought in the Demon Realm, they would probably tear a whole mountain and river to shreds.

Even in this spatial rift, the surroundings were filled with countless spatial wind blades and easily visible spatial storms, all of which were forcibly shattered amidst the violent battle between the two.

In fact, new rifts were occasionally torn open within this spatial rift, faintly revealing different worlds beyond them.

Li Chen moved his foot, arriving at Behemoth’s side with extreme speed, and simultaneously, brilliant law radiance burst from his fingertips, forcibly tearing a rift in Behemoth’s pseudo-universe.

Li Chen was well aware that to battle a Palm Realm rank powerhouse like this, he must first find a way to resolve the pseudo-universe issue. If he couldn’t find a flaw in the pseudo-universe, no matter how strong he was, he couldn’t be a match for Behemoth.

Seeing Li Chen’s actions, Behemoth sneered, "Trying to tear apart my pseudo-universe?"

"Ridiculous!"

With a cold snort, the pseudo-universe rift that Li Chen had just torn apart instantly expanded and magnified under Behemoth’s control.

In just the blink of an eye, the pseudo-universe encompassed an infinitely vast area.

"Now, every space you see is within the scope of my pseudo-universe. As long as you continue to fight me, you remain within my suppression range. Now, how will you tear apart my pseudo-universe?" Behemoth mocked without reservation.

Li Chen’s heart sank because he indeed felt that, surrounded by the pseudo-universe, his cultivation, laws—everything—was suppressed to an extremely low level.

Furthermore, operating his cultivation became much more stagnant, undoubtedly due to Behemoth’s handiwork.

Under such oppression, things were clearly very disadvantageous for him. If he didn’t find a way to handle this situation, he would surely face a defeat he couldn’t escape.

Palm Realm powerhouses were indeed not to be trifled with, even if Behemoth was a newly established Palm Realm not too long ago and was only just recovering from serious injuries, he was still far stronger than any enemy Li Chen had ever faced.

Looking at Li Chen, Behemoth’s eyes took on an amused expression, like a cat playing with a mouse, "What? Want to break through the pseudo-universe to fight me in close combat? But can you decipher my combat techniques?"

Li Chen’s expression turned grim.

He did have this idea. Even though he had the support of the Indestructible Body and the Five Elements Boots, which prevented him from being defeated for the moment, and at worst could avoid attacks, he definitely couldn’t compete against Behemoth, whose pseudo-universe enhanced him and who had a cultivation whole major realm higher than his own, if it was just a match of divine skills and laws.

However, if he broke through to engage in close combat, Behemoth was unlike any previous enemy. Behemoth’s close combat techniques were even stronger than his own!

No matter how he looked at it, the situation was extremely unfavorable to him.

Although Behemoth couldn’t kill him in a short time, he couldn’t deal with Behemoth either, and with this kind of back-and-forth, he was bound to lose.

"Worthy of the Palm Realm." Li Chen took a deep breath, forcing himself to stay calm.

A strength of Li Chen was that the more dangerous the situation, the easier it was for him to calm down.

Even in a state of lost rationality, he could forcibly reclaim some of his instincts.

And now, his instincts were constantly reminding him not to panic, as panicking would only hasten his defeat.

This time, he was here for revenge, not to deliver himself and his treasures as gifts.

"Even though the World Seed is useless under the pseudo-universe’s suppression, it can still block part of the pseudo-universe’s pressure, so it can’t be completely abandoned," Li Chen murmured to himself.

"But facing the absolute pressure of the pseudo-universe, I have no way to regain an advantage." Gritting his teeth, Li Chen warded off Behemoth’s attacks while beginning to rack his brains.

"Divine Skill—Dim Star Annihilation!"

Within the pseudo-universe, Behemoth wantonly assaulted Li Chen, who could only grimly hold on without any chance to counterattack.

Fortunately, the Three Lives Everything Armor’s dampening effect, combined with Li Chen’s divine skills, made the attacks on his body non-lethal. However, it was evident that, continuing like this, Li Chen was bound to lose eventually.

"Pfft!"

Li Chen coughed up a mouthful of stagnant blood and relied on the rapid evasion granted by his Three Lives Everything Armor once more.

Just then, the Yin Energy contained in each of Behemoth’s attacks finally burst out unexpectedly.

This burst instantly allowed Behemoth to seize an opportunity to deliver a heavy blow.

Had the Three Lives Everything Armor not absorbed nearly ninety percent of the damage, his body would have been completely shattered by now.

For a cultivator, the soul and body have always been equally indispensable.

If one loses the protection of the physical body, a solitary soul body exists solely at the mercy of others.

Although Li Chen had the Indestructible Body, capable of self-regeneration, it was clear that once his body was shattered, Behemoth wouldn’t allow him time for recovery.

Such an enemy was not only powerful to the extreme but also cunning to the extreme.

"Behemoth, don’t you think you’re being overly cautious dealing with a mere Soul Realm like me?" Li Chen looked up at Behemoth and spoke calmly.

"Of course not." Behemoth’s smile was just as frostbitten, "Against others, this might be overkill; even against my peers, I wouldn’t be this cautious. But dealing with you, it’s absolutely worth it."

Speaking, a strangely indescribable look appeared on Behemoth’s face, "After all, I think there are very few who understand your terrors more than I do in this world."

The one who knows you best is always your enemy.

Ever since the Ling Canghai incident, Behemoth’s watch on Li Chen had never slackened, even at the cost of wasting scouts deployed across the Heaven Realm.

Therefore, Behemoth may not know Li Chen’s horrors best, but he was undoubtedly well aware of them.

Li Chen stopped speaking; it seemed Behemoth had made up his mind to slowly wear him out bit by bit, refusing to take the risk.

Such an enemy is the most terrifying.

"There is the pseudo-universe outside, combat techniques within, while borrowing various divine skills to exhaust my power, and even hidden powerful killing weapons ready to intercept and encircle me if I try to escape—you indeed planned well," Li Chen sighed lightly.

With an amused smile, Behemoth no longer concealed anything; within the pseudo-universe, several weapons exuding terrifying auras appeared one by one.

It appeared that these were treasures of the same grade as the Seven Slaying Sword!

All of these were especially prepared for Li Chen!

For a Soul Realm to be treated with such caution by a Palm Realm is likely unprecedented in history, making Li Chen one of a kind.
