Ning Wangyang easily defeats a berserk Hawke with a powerful, time-infused flame attack. As major events begin elsewhere, Ning Wangyang departs, tracking Li Chen. Meanwhile, Li Chen reveals his hidden trump cards to face the Four Great Palm Realm powerhouses, summoning the Nether Army and unexpected allies, including a Demon Ancestor.

The master of Demon Emperor Sagras, Shadow Demon Ancestor.

This is an ancient and powerful Ancient Ancestor, also a genuine powerhouse of the Heaven and Earth Realm.

He did not enter the Holy Realm but found a Secluded Cultivation Place to hide many ancient years ago.

Since the Seven Realms Battle, there has been no news of him.

Perhaps, those who knew of his existence thought he had long passed away.

What was unexpected is that this powerful Ancient Ancestor has always been hidden, and the only person able to contact him is Sagras.

And now, Sagras easily summoned this powerful Ancient Ancestor from the Demon Realm.

What this entails is indeed worth contemplating.

Even Behemoth, who had fought Li Chen to the brink of exhaustion without any fear, was now sweating coldly on his forehead.

He thought it was just a simple revenge battle, even had many plans in mind, but now it seems that the so-called ’Avenger’ was merely a catalyst?

Was he the only one kept in the dark, unaware of anything?

Why were Li Chen and Sagras so calm as if they had known all along?

As Behemoth Clan’s Behemoth, the strongest surviving Palm Realm powerhouse, he felt like a fool at this moment.

No wonder they said Behemoth Clan were not clever. Is it their fault? It’s clearly because you people are too cunning!

"Two Palm Realms?!" At this moment, four Palm Realm powerhouses from outside the Starry Universe had ugly expressions: "Red Dust Heavenly Sovereign and Demon Emperor, you need to understand. We are also Palm Realm powerhouses, even if two of us are held back by you, the other two killing these lesser ones isn’t that difficult, at most expending some cultivation. If you truly want a life-and-death battle with us, are you prepared for sacrifices?"

"Indeed." Li Chen nodded: "Besides the two real Palm Realms here, the rest at most have True Realm combat power. The two Palm Realms together would indeed not find it difficult to kill them."

At this moment, Li Chen looked at Behemoth: "These people are enemies of ours and our ancestors. Are you interested in killing one for fun? It’s a Palm Realm, certainly more satisfying than killing me, a Soul Realm."

Upon hearing Li Chen’s words, Behemoth’s face hesitated.

Honestly, he was a bit intimidated by Li Chen and Sagras’ strategies, not expecting these seemingly unrelated as individuals had plotted such a scene collaboratively.

Behemoth even reckoned, if he chose to cooperate with Li Chen, would he end up devoured to the bone?

Seeing Behemoth’s expression, Li Chen knew what he was pondering, shook his head: "You should know better, I am clear about grievances. When dealing with common enemies, I definitely won’t betray my own."

"Moreover, as the Demon Emperor said, although your Behemoth Clan was indeed calculated in the ancient war, made to lead the charge, those who truly led to your clan’s decline are these outsiders from the Starry Universe and the Era-Ancient Civilization."

Li Chen’s words indeed tempted Behemoth.

At this time, a figure clad in black with a Black Sword broke through the space.

Ning Wangyang appeared, except for his somewhat disheveled black clothing, he was completely unharmed.

Li Chen threw a small Jade Vase to Ning Wangyang: "A product from the Holy Realm, quickly restore your cultivation, another tough battle awaits."

Ning Wangyang nodded, not even questioning the Pill in the Jade Vase, he directly swallowed it whole.

"Where’s Hawke?!" Behemoth’s gaze shifted sharply towards Ning Wangyang.

"Rest assured, he’s not dead, trapped over there by me, though he’ll suffer a bit." Ning Wangyang replied indifferently, showing no respect as one might expect when facing a Palm Realm powerhouse.

To him, besides his boss, others have no relation to him, so why should he respect them?

However, upon hearing Ning Wangyang’s words, Behemoth breathed a sigh of relief. Though he appeared indifferent to his fellow clan member, inwardly, Behemoth still cared about this remaining clan member in the Demon Realm.

"I agree to your proposal!" Behemoth exhaled and looked at Li Chen.

Li Chen’s face revealed a smile, throwing a second Jade Vase, already grasped in his hand, towards Behemoth.

This scene made Behemoth feel a pang of regret.

It turned out the other party had long anticipated, even his reaction was part of the plan.

No wonder... No wonder the Behemoth Clan is known as unrivaled in land battles, yet ultimately couldn’t escape the fate of dwindling down to just a few survivors.

"Alright." At this time, Li Chen, while consuming the Pill he had acquired from Suan Tian, stimulated Palm Realm restoration from the Holy Realm, squinted slightly at the four Palm Realm powerhouses.

"Now we have three Palm Realm powers here, although you have a Middle Stage of Heaven-Earth Realm, I think our side, with over two thousand people plus me, should not have a problem handling one, right?" Towards the end, Li Chen’s tone revealed unabashed killing intent.

Having endured for so long, acting out fierce battles with Behemoth, the key was that Li Chen dared not let his guard down even a little.

Because he was acting, but Behemoth is by no means acting, completely intent on killing him. Thus he had to give it his all without flaw.

Now, finally having lured these people out, Li Chen no longer needed to hide anything.

"It’s a pity that Little Cang went to the Holy Realm, otherwise with Little Cang, it would be even more assured. If they came out of the Holy Realm, it would certainly attract attention from those outside the Starry Universe, leading to premature wars, resulting in losses outweighing gains. So now is already the best scenario." Li Chen calculated quietly in his heart.

Besides secretly contacting the Demon Emperor this time, he also wanted to reach out to the Immortal Domain and Divine Realm to see if any other hidden Palm Realm powerhouses existed, but feared causing too much commotion, hence abandoned the idea.

However, now it seems, it’s about enough.

This battle involves seven Palm Realm powerhouses, all Ancient Elders from Heaven-Earth Realm, and over two thousand Soul Realm experts.

Plus himself, Ning Wangyang, Spiritual Treasure Daoist Honor, Heavenly Venerable Qinglong, and other top-notch experts far beyond average Soul Realm and even True Realm.

"It’s my first time to personally kill a Palm Realm, kind of exciting." Li Chen tightened his grip on the Red Moon and immediately aimed at the only Heaven-Earth Realm Middle Stage among the four Palm Realm powerhouses, fiercely attacking.
