Li Chen was in an unstable state, on the verge of breaking through to the Heavenly Realm but lacking the necessary energy. He fought three Heavenly Realm powerhouses, using his divine skills and supreme treasures to defend himself. As a last resort, he unleashed his hidden power: his minor world, which granted him a brief surge of Heaven-shrouding Realm power. He used this power to execute his strongest attack, Endless Wind Turmoil, overwhelming his opponents. However, just as he thought he had won, a mysterious black light struck him, and a voice declared vengeance.

There is no doubt that those who can enter the Palm Realm are not weaklings.

The trace of pioneering power that Li Chen briefly obtained from the minor world allowed him to unleash his strongest attack to date. Even a powerhouse of the Heaven and Earth Realm could not resist this insanely wild Endless Wind Turmoil. Regardless of whether it was the Pseudo-Universe or his own cultivation, they were continually worn down in the terrifying Law Storm.

Yet even in such a desperate ground, the powerhouse from the Soul Tribe still burst forth with a chilling power, directly breaking through the blockade of the Law Storm and striking Li Chen.

As if nailed in a blood-colored space, Li Chen struggled to get up, wiped the black blood from his forehead, and coughed twice before he bitterly smiled, "Palm Realm, truly none are weaklings."

If the Seven Realms Tome hadn’t exploded and blocked that strike of the black soul light, it’s likely his Divine Soul would have been completely destroyed by now.

At that moment, he was so close to death.

Even in such a seemingly certain victory scene, he almost overturned the boat in the gutter. This shows the terror of a Palm Realm powerhouse.

The other two powerhouses from the Beast God Civilization and Mechanical Civilization also seemed to attempt to break through the blockade of the Law Storm, but unlike the Soul Tribe powerhouse, they didn’t have such a backup plan, and could only scream madly within the storm, unable to break out.

By this point, Li Chen’s hair had completely turned white.

The Energy in his body had been drained; although the strike was aimed at the Divine Soul, the loss to his physical body was not minor.

And at this time, the Indestructible Body had long since lost its vitality, with Li Chen’s body like porcelain that will shatter at a touch, covered in numerous cracks.

"This time facing three opponents was indeed somewhat reckless."

Looking at the three whose screams in the storm were growing weaker, Li Chen murmured to himself.

To use a very fitting analogy, if the three were like tanks of a technological civilization, then he was like an anti-materiel sniper rifle capable of piercing their armor.

Although his Attack Power was incredibly strong, he himself was fragile compared to the three.

Even a slight landing of any attack on his body could cause severe consequences.

At this time, not only was Li Chen’s physical body seriously injured, but even his Dao Foundation began to spontaneously disintegrate, and all his cultivation started to ceaselessly decline.

Yet Li Chen didn’t mind.

He had reached the Palm Realm, where the universe was the source, so the Dao Foundation collapsing was just collapsing.

It can be said that the true Palm Realm and ordinary Starry Universe cultivators already belonged to two utterly different life forms.

However, at this time, Li Chen was indeed weakened to the extreme.

With the support of the Two-Yi Yin Yang Mirror, he barely lifted a hand.

"Endless Sea of Blood, take."

From the Endless Sea of Blood, a pure energy returned to Li Chen’s body, causing his cultivation to continually fall, yet his Realm madly surged upward.

"Crack!"

When that surge reached its peak and the bottleneck finally shattered, Li Chen had already boldly stood on the threshold of the Heaven and Earth Realm.

And then, at a slightest Heart Intent move from Li Chen, the four Palm Realm powerhouses were completely slain.

Thus, the four powerhouses from the Era-Ancient Civilization invading the Starry Universe were completely exterminated.

When the blood-colored space was dissipated, Li Chen stood among the stars.

No heavenly tribulation.

For the Realm had risen to a point where the universe no longer needed to send down such redundant tribulations.

Those who have their own universe are already equal to the supreme rules of the Starry Universe and tribulations have no qualifications to fall upon them.

Upon Li Chen’s appearance, the Demon Ancestor, Suan Tian, and others breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking at them, a smile appeared on Li Chen’s face.

By this time, he was already the newest Palm Realm powerhouse in the Starry Universe.

And also the weakest.

"Cough, cough!"

Li Chen coughed violently a few times; the enhancement in Realm did not completely heal his injuries. Daoist injuries aren’t easily healed.

Moreover, Li Chen’s body was already on the verge of collapse.

Just a slight touch more could make him become the first Heaven and Earth Realm powerhouse to lose their physical body right after entering the Palm Realm.

Seeing the concern in everyone’s eyes, Li Chen waved his hand, "I’m fine."

At this time, Suan Tian came beside Li Chen, "What should we do next?"

"Do what?" Li Chen shook his head. "I’ll refrain from going to the Holy Realm for now; you notify the people in the Holy Realm. The real final showdown might be imminent."

Suan Tian worriedly nodded in agreement; the Era-Ancient Civilization boldly sending their Palm Realm powerhouses into the Starry Universe was indeed a sign. Just as Li Chen said, the true final showdown might indeed be about to start.

At this point, hiding may no longer mean anything.

"Those old folks should come out for a walk too." Suan Tian murmured, "After all, here is our true home."

Suan Tian had always understood in his heart.

Although these Palm Realm powerhouses trained in the Holy Realm, under the guise of prudence and discretion, they are still the exiled group driven by the Era-Ancient Civilization.

This is why he refers to the Holy Realm as a ’dog’s den.’

"True enough." Suan Tian suddenly sneered, "You really have no need to go to that dog’s den; it would only blunt your edge."

Suan Tian originally hoped for Li Chen to quickly enter the Holy Realm.

Yet after Li Chen broke through to the Palm Realm, his thoughts changed instead.

"You should stay in the Starry Universe. I’ll go back and inform the Holy Realm. Whether those old immortals listen or not, I don’t know. However, the relatively ’young’ generations compared to those born before the Seven Realms era should come out."

Suan Tian said softly, "After hiding in that den for several eras, everyone harbors unextinguished anger in their hearts, unlike those who’ve been holed up for innumerable eras, whose edges have been completely worn smooth."

Li Chen nodded, saying no more.

Suan Tian also mentioned that with the Banquet Era approaching, the Holy Realm wasn’t in any better state than the Starry Universe, merely having more old immortals there to offer some guidance to newly advanced Palm Realm individuals.

Yet, to be honest, Li Chen wasn’t much interested in such guidance.

He had emerged from a less orthodox path, relying on scattered guidance to cultivate himself to today.

Those old guys, though having lived for eons, hadn’t truly seen anyone enter the pioneering Heaven-Shielding Realm.

Yet he was designated by the Supreme as the one with the hope to walk that path.

Would such guidance from those old folks truly be useful to him?

Li Chen didn’t know, nor did he wish to ponder.

He only wished to stay in the Starry Universe and spend more time with his family before the final battle descends.

"It’s time to name the son and daughter." Although Li Chen looked in poor condition, a warm smile appeared on his face.
