Spiritual Treasure Daoist Honor, now known as Lingbao, achieves the Palm Realm by comprehending his Way of Controlling Objects. He creates his own pseudo-universe and clashes with a powerful Yu Clan powerhouse. Despite being wounded, Lingbao's tactics inflict damage on his opponent. As other allies attack the Yu Clan powerhouse's pseudo-universe, a new figure, Old Zhang, intervenes with a devastating attack, causing the pseudo-universe to shatter.

Li Chen was also a participant in this battle.

On the other side, there were six Great Palm Realm Experts engaging in a three-on-three formation. However, aside from the Demon Race’s Ancient Ancestor, who could wield the power of an Era-Ancient Civilization’s Palm Realm, neither Behemoth nor Suan Tian were faring well.

Suan Tian was not adept at battles, but his Way of Divine Calculation was an excellent path for survival. Though he found it hard to inflict any fatal damage on the Palm Realm, the opponent also had no means to harm Suan Tian.

Behemoth was in a more perilous position because of his prior battle with Li Chen, which had greatly depleted him. Even with the Pill from the Holy Realm to recover, his state was evidently not in good condition, and he was being completely suppressed.

Moreover, Behemoth’s Pseudo-Universe was forcefully destroyed by Li Chen, and had only slightly recovered, nowhere near enough to match a powerhouse of the same level. If this continued, Behemoth would soon face a major crisis.

Li Chen was not in much better shape.

The reason he hadn’t acted earlier was that he was recovering his cultivation and silently healing by digesting the pill’s effects.

He was acutely aware of the vast gap between himself and those in the Palm Realm. In his current state, even if he acted rashly, he could not pose any considerable threat to the powerhouse of the Yu Clan.

It should be noted that even Behemoth was merely at the Early Stage of the Heaven-Earth Realm.

Yet the Yu Clan powerhouse before him was a terrifying mid-stage Heaven-Earth Realm existence.

Not to mention his current self, even at his peak, if he encountered such a level of existence alone, escape would be his only option.

Nowadays, Li Chen had become increasingly sensitive to the differences in power levels and the nuances of detail.

Even if this Yu Clan powerhouse seemed a bit embarrassed under the siege of the new Palm Realm expert Ling Bao and others,

Li Chen’s Eye of the Dao could clearly capture the ease with which the opponent made his moves.

The gap between realms really couldn’t be compensated for by mere numbers.

At this moment, the unexpected arrival of another person took Li Chen by surprise.

Seeing this figure abruptly appear in the void, even Li Chen was somewhat stunned.

"Zhang Shutong? Why are you here?"

Zhang Shutong turned his head slightly, looking at Li Chen and the others: "I come from half of the soul of the Doomsday Beast Soul and have a talent for sensitively detecting abnormal fluctuations between Heaven and Earth. After noticing that certain people in the Borderland Realm had disappeared, I began my calculations. It just so happened that I detected the violent fluctuations here, so I came over. Didn’t expect to see that it was you guys fighting."

"How could you not call me for such an event? This is someone from the Era-Ancient Civilization, isn’t it? Tsk tsk, he is indeed incredibly strong," Zhang Shutong clicked his tongue as he spoke, yet even facing such a formidable mid-stage Heaven-Earth Realm powerhouse, there wasn’t a trace of fear on his face.

"Divine Skill — Power of Deathly Silence!"

The gray-black Law of Destruction transformed into a pillar of divine power, once again impacting the already fractured section of the Pseudo-Universe.

The Yu Clan powerhouse, sensing something amiss, was just about to change positions when Li Chen struck silently.

Time Law — Downstream Acceleration!

The Light of Destruction Law blasted into that section of the Pseudo-Universe with incredible speed.

"Crack, crack, crack!"

The Pseudo-Universe, once smooth and flawless, cracked a second time.

Li Chen glanced back at the heavily damaged Nether Army, a deep expression in his eyes.

Even though Li Chen knew there would be casualties, and these people came with the resolve not to fear death, when the Nether Army actually suffered damage, he couldn’t help but feel waves of heartache and sorrow.

These men were his absolutely loyal subordinates and good brothers.

Yet they were largely wiped out by an attack from this Palm Realm guy. Saying it doesn’t hurt would be a lie.

However, Li Chen knew that he was still not enough to kill this guy. He needed to build his power and have someone to buy some time.

Ling Bao attacked again.

"Way of Control — Air Control!"

Ling Bao unleashed his full power, directing his terrifying energy throughout the space, crushing toward the Yu Clan powerhouse. At this moment, under the control of Palm Realm power, it felt like the entire Starry Sky harbored lethal intent towards the Yu Clan powerhouse, aiming to annihilate him within the void.

This was Ling Bao’s Way of the Palm Realm, the Way of Controlling Objects; nothing was beyond his command!

Even the starry sky was a weapon in Ling Bao’s hands at this moment!

Feeling the tremendous pressure on his Pseudo-Universe once more, the Yu Clan powerhouse couldn’t even bother with the little ant who had previously breached his Pseudo-Universe; he immediately focused on Ling Bao.

"Good! Very good! It’s been years since anyone dared attack Jian Liu like this. You’re merely newly ascended to the Heaven-Earth Realm and haven’t yet solidified your realm, yet you dare act so presumptuously. Very well, let me teach you what the true Heaven-Earth Realm is today!" the Yu Clan powerhouse glared at Ling Bao, shouting harshly.

"As vast as the heavens are, they rest in my hand!" As he spoke, the Yu Clan powerhouse Jian Liu’s Pseudo-Universe suddenly expanded before shrinking back to its original size.

A grim smile played across Jian Liu’s lips.

"This is a move created following the rules of your so-called era. Since you focus on divine skills this era, I shall use divine skills to destroy you! Palm Realm... It’s been quite some time since I’ve killed a Palm Realm expert from the Starry Universe. Though you’re merely newly ascended, it’s better than nothing!"

Jian Liu reached out, and the stars in the distance began madly hurtling toward the scene.

The stars and meteorites began to orbit within Jian Liu’s Pseudo-Universe, forming a frightening Star Storm.

"Grasp the sun and moon, pluck the stars, slaughter all ghosts, Buddhas, and gods worldwide!"

The Pseudo-Universe swelled, and as the stars grew more fearsome, massive stars were forcibly dragged over, beyond some wandering asteroids.

"Divine Skill — Palm Slaughter!"

Ling Bao’s face changed drastically as the deadly Star Storm approached; for a moment, he truly felt an immense threat.

One slip, and as a newly ascended Palm Realm expert, he could indeed meet his end here.

"Divine Skill — Spiritual Realm!"

Ling Bao’s Pseudo-Universe fully defended against the Star Storm, while he also unleashed his Great Divine Power.

Yet his divine skill wasn’t enough to resist the overwhelming attack of the Star Storm, so this skill focused on contending for control of the storm.

After all, his greatest strength was Matter Control.

And although this Star Storm belonged to the enemy, it was still matter!

Ling Bao’s Pseudo-Universe quickly began displaying numerous cracks under the Star Storm’s onslaught, seemingly on the brink of collapse.

It was not Ling Bao’s weakness, but that this Yu Clan powerhouse called Jian Liu was immensely powerful.

Li Chen witnessed this scene, letting out a light sigh, patting Zhang Shutong’s shoulder beside him: "Looks like there’s no choice left."
