Li Chen and Behemoth engage in a fierce battle, with Li Chen struggling against the realm disparity. Despite using his Supreme Treasure, Li Chen is pushed back and forced to use space-tearing to escape. Behemoth pursues, but Li Chen attempts a surprise attack with his Sea of Blood, which is ultimately suppressed by Behemoth's Dark Tide. Behemoth pressures Li Chen, acknowledging his potential but determined to eliminate him. Li Chen uses an ancient formation, Bagua Skyslaying, but Behemoth breaks it with his Annihilation Array Flag, albeit at a cost. As Behemoth unleashes a powerful palm strike, Li Chen smiles, having apparently outlasted Behemoth in their battle of patience.

Palm Realm Supreme.

This is currently known as the highest realm among all civilizations.

So, what makes the Palm Realm truly powerful?

It’s all in the word ’palm’.

For those in the Palm Realm, even if they’ve just entered the Heaven and Earth Realm, they can possess a world within their palm. Using a pseudo-universe as the core model, any Palm Realm powerhouse can easily create a small world.

Of course, although creating such a world is simple, merely a thing of pinching fingers together, using it as an opponent is somewhat troublesome.

After all, no matter how short-lived and fragile a world is, it is still a world.

The Palm Realm is about creating worlds by borrowing power, utilizing external forces.

It’s like building a tower from grains of sand; the Palm Realm is neither the sand nor the tower, but simply the one who gathers the sand into a tower.

Therefore, creating worlds is easy, but controlling them to face enemies is not.

In the past, Cain’s palm strike against Li Chen was actually restrained.

That strike only contained part of the world-creating power. More of the power was used to stabilize space, to ensure the energy didn’t affect the Ancient Tower.

Otherwise, even a trace of leaked energy could have destroyed the civilization Cain painstakingly created and developed over many years.

Li Chen learned about these aspects of the Palm Realm from Suan Tian.

Although this old fellow is as weak as a chick in terms of combat power compared to other Palm Realm beings, he is undoubtedly a top-notch wise man among them.

Li Chen heard from the Spiritual Treasure that in ancient times, Suan Tian’s status was even higher than that of Daiyu Heavenly Venerable. Not just because he was a sage who could calculate all possibilities, similar to Daiyu Heavenly Venerable, but also because Suan Tian had read almost every ancient history book from all circles throughout history. At that time, as only a Soul Realm sage, he had considerable contact and exchange with some low-profile Palm Realm beings.

Therefore, it was in the late ancient era that Suan Tian was able to leverage this to advance to the Palm Realm in one step.

Though Li Chen outwardly showed impatience towards this old demon’s words, he engraved every word into his heart.

This strike from Behemoth seemed casual, but upon sensing the power of the ’palm’ and the ’realm’ within it, Li Chen realized that this seemingly random move was actually Behemoth’s killer move.

Admittedly, even Li Chen admired Behemoth’s battle intelligence.

It’s not treacherous; in a life-and-death struggle, every tactic is merely for victory.

Li Chen himself had also used various tricks, launched ambushes, and devised plots in the past to defeat seemingly invincible opponents.

However, having such tactics used against him was decidedly unpleasant.

At this moment, Li Chen felt immensely grateful for remembering Suan Tian’s advice.

Since Behemoth employed a killer move, he could no longer conceal his techniques.

"Divine Skill—Wheel of Space-Time!"

It was called a wheel, but within this disk was a world!

Although just a pseudo-world, incomparable to the true world in a Palm Realm strike, Li Chen managed to momentarily immobilize the strike.

Seizing this moment, his eyes flashed with brilliant light.

"Cease Spear!!"

Aiming at the descending giant palm, Li Chen extended three fingers in succession.

Though the Three-Finger Cease Spear was insufficient to block the strike, it bought him enough time.

The giant palm quivered in mid-air, slowing as it descended.

Slowed—that was his intent.

"A pseudo-universe?"

A faint sneer appeared on Li Chen’s lips. Having battled with Suan Tian many times, he was no stranger to pseudo-universes. From a series of defeats, he eventually devised a temporary way to break pseudo-universes, managing to tie with Suan Tian, and later even defeating him!

"World Seed—Form of Selflessness!"

From the beginning, Li Chen’s domain had always been peculiar.

Because his domain’s power was to have no power!

And yet, he could conjure boundless capabilities.

"Simulate—Pseudo-Universe!"

In an instant, Li Chen’s world seed unfolded, transforming into a hazy True Form Universe.

Though this True Form Universe was vague and feeble, practically a clump of mush, unrivaled by the pseudo-universe of the Heaven and Earth Realm,

it was indeed a pseudo-universe!

It was a pseudo-universe simulated by Li Chen!

Even Behemoth, upon witnessing this scene, couldn’t help but widen his eyes in sheer disbelief.

How could this be?

Li Chen was just a Soul Realm cultivator; producing even a half-formed world seed would stretch his luck. With his cultivation, how could he possibly condense a pseudo-universe?

What he saw defied all logic!

"Pseudo-universe, crumble!"

Having unleashed the pseudo-universe, Li Chen maintained a chilling, indifferent face, immediately shattering the hazy pseudo-universe.

After all, this was not his first time doing such a thing.

Although the collapse of a simulated pseudo-universe burdened him significantly, to drag Behemoth’s pseudo-universe down with it was irresistible.

"Boom!!!"

The sound of a world-shaking explosion reverberated, yet seemed not of this world, but echoing from another realm—the sound of a world’s end.

Though only a pseudo-universe, as it bore the term ’universe’, its collapse was an unimaginably terrifying scene.

If anyone existed within the pseudo-universe, they could not survive such a cataclysm and collapse.

This destructive force could even directly annihilate a Heaven and Earth Realm of equal level.

Unfortunately, neither Li Chen nor Behemoth could kill the other. Only their pseudo-universes perished together.

Yet having endured until this moment, Li Chen finally seized the chance to tear through Behemoth’s pseudo-universe—how could he let it slip?

"Black and White Arrow of Life and Death!"

The radiant arrow of life and death shot through the torn pseudo-universe, striking toward Behemoth.

Behemoth’s expression changed, abruptly raising his hand: "Er..."

But before Behemoth could finish speaking, Li Chen immediately altered his hand seal after releasing the arrow.

"Locking Heaven and Earth!"

The sound of locks, endlessly reverberating from within Behemoth, made his face instantly grim.

"World within the Palm!"

Finally, Behemoth abandoned defense, immensely enhancing his palm strike, opting to endure Li Chen’s assault to crush him with a single palm.

The Three-Finger Cease Spear could no longer hold; divine light shattered, and the giant palm pressed downward.

Before the palm could completely envelop Li Chen, in a last blink of an eye, his final action was still attack, not defense!

Attack versus attack!

"Unsheathed!!"

Red Moon flashed, unsheathed and resheathed in an instant, just as the heaven-shrouding world within the palm pressed down, utterly enveloping him.

The starry sky roared, space collapsed.
