Suan Tian fought a powerful soul tribe warrior, suffering severe injuries but managing to inflict a Taoist injury in return before using a diversion to escape. Meanwhile, Spiritual Treasure and his forces were overwhelmed by a Middle Stage Heaven-Earth Realm powerhouse, suffering heavy casualties. Suan Tian, worried for the overall situation and unable to sense Li Chen, spotted Li Chen's return.

"Boom!!"

Perceiving the sudden arrival of a life-and-death crisis, the Soul Realm expert abruptly unleashed all his power, daring not to look back. At the first moment, he made up his mind to charge forward madly.

He wanted to escape the terrifying killing intent that came suddenly from behind.

At the same time, there was some panic in his heart.

Why?

Why didn’t I perceive anything at all?!

Who or what exactly is behind me that even my Divine Sense couldn’t detect? Even the breach of the Pseudo-Universe left no trace, and all I heard was the sound?

What on earth is going on?!

The Soul Realm expert roared unwillingly as he madly fled.

A small part of his body had been torn apart.

However, the severe physical injuries were nothing compared to the damage his Divine Soul suffered.

He could feel that the slash not only tore apart a small part of his body but also forcibly ripped off a section of his Divine Soul!

For the Soul Tribe, the importance of the Divine Soul is far greater than that of the flesh countless times over!

"Damn it! Damn it!!"

The Solul Tribes’ expert roared in fury, finally risking his life to escape, but he was not unscathed. Not only had he received a slash that tore apart part of his body and Divine Soul, but he was also hit by an arrow on the remaining part of his body.

A lingering force of life and death enmeshment continuously tore at his cultivation, Divine Sense, and even his flesh and Divine Soul.

Yet before he could shake off the sharp arrow that had pierced half of his chest, the arrow dissipated of its own accord. What soured his expression further was that instead of turning into natural energy and dispersing, the arrow transformed into a force that began to rampage within him.

As a Soul Tribesman and a Palm Realm powerhouse who had stabilized his cultivation in the early stages of the Heaven and Earth Realm for many years, he was caught off guard and gravely injured by a slash and an arrow.

Then he saw, at his previous location, a white-robed youth holding a saber had appeared at some unknown time.

The white robe was whiter than snow, the blade like a Blood Moon.

At this moment, Li Chen’s eyes appeared strange, bewildered, puzzled, and curious.

It seemed as if he was still in some state of enlightenment, not fully awakened.

Suan Tian also saw Li Chen, frowned, and said, "Why do you come out in that state? Even if you’ve barely crossed into the Heaven and Earth Realm, if the realm isn’t stabilized, there’s still a risk of regressing."

Li Chen shook his head, his expression somewhat stiff, "If I don’t come out quickly, you all will be dead by now."

Indeed, Li Chen hadn’t yet fully stepped into the Heaven and Earth Realm, but he had already comprehended his Way of the Palm Realm. Likewise, one foot was already in.

From here on, it was just a matter of course, and for this reason, Li Chen dared to appear.

But, as Suan Tian said, if Li Chen was heavily injured at this time, there indeed was a risk of being knocked back to his original form.

"How did you... appear behind me?" The Soul Tribe expert looked coldly at Li Chen, the abrupt grievous injury causing his gaze to be incredibly cold at this moment.

Initially startled and trembling, upon realizing Li Chen’s incomplete state, his killing intent surged.

Li Chen did not respond, only looking at the blade in his hand, then at his other empty hand, finally turning his gaze to the expert.

Suan Tian, in turn, explained ’kind-heartedly’: "He chased you all the way here, didn’t I tell you? There was someone behind you, but you didn’t believe it, didn’t you? So you can’t blame me, right?"

"But it shouldn’t be impossible for my Divine Sense to perceive him!" The Soul Tribe expert’s gaze grew colder, completely ignoring Suan Tian’s sarcasm.

"Of course you couldn’t perceive it." Suan Tian said proudly, "Didn’t I tell you? I’m not good at fighting, but I have many abilities to assist in combat. Your Divine Sense was unknowingly blinded by me, so now you’re like a blind person with eyes open, how could you possibly perceive him!"

Finally realizing, the Soul Realm expert looked at Suan Tian and gritted his teeth, "You tacticians are truly despicable."

"You can’t say it like that." Suan Tian reverted to his previous lazy demeanor, chuckling lightly, "Whether it’s blades, swords, spears, or the laws of divine skills that kill, or even strategies and tactics that kill, they all serve to kill. They’re merely means to an end. Your cultivation is stronger than mine, and your techniques superior, but if I can’t defeat you, could I not use other methods to deal with you instead?"

The Soul Tribe expert was momentarily speechless.

After a brief hesitation, the Soul Tribe expert turned and fled.

Previously, he could bully Suan Tian, but now, in a seriously injured state, facing the combined combat power of two Heaven and Earth Realm fighters, he couldn’t possibly match them.

"See, you also resort to the method of escape, right?" Watching the fleeing Soul Tribe expert, Suan Tian burst into laughter.

The Soul Tribe expert said nothing, running desperately away.

"Can you handle it?" Li Chen turned his head and asked Suan Tian.

"This old fox in his prime, I certainly am no match for, but since he’s heavily injured, facing him shouldn’t be too difficult," Suan Tian pondered a moment before he spoke.

Li Chen nodded, "I’ll leave it to you, then."

Suan Tian nodded as well, "Go on."

Without another word, Li Chen disappeared from Suan Tian’s view in the blink of an eye.

Watching Li Chen’s departing figure, Suan Tian stood in silence for a long while, then reluctantly shook his head, "Choosing such a path, who knows if it will be fortune or calamity. This kid’s luck is great, but it seems his ambitions are even greater."

With that, Suan Tian followed in pursuit of the fleeing Soul Tribe expert.

Known as Suan Tian, the strategist without flaw, if that Soul Tribe guy could escape his calculations, Suan Tian would change professions!

...

"Boom!!"

In another place, a Spiritual Treasure pilot commanded numerous treasures, which once again were blasted apart, while he himself had blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, retreating continuously as cracks appeared on his fingers and palms.

"Is it still too much to handle?"

Looking at his hands, an indescribable emotion arose in Spiritual Treasure’s heart.

Clearly, he had reached the Palm Realm, clearly stepped into the realm of his dreams across one era after another, yet his heart felt devoid of waves.

Because there’s always a mountain higher than a mountain.

Even becoming a Palm Realm, what of it?

Can the dead return?

Not just that, even facing this Yu Clan powerhouse, he was still no match.

"Brother Ling Bao, why so dejected? Isn’t it just an Early Heaven-Earth Realm? Just kill him." A light voice sounded behind Ling Bao.

But upon hearing it, Ling Bao felt as if a thunderstorm burst open.
