Li Changcun decides to let his son charge ahead while he recovers, planning to sneak in later. Meanwhile, Li Chen confronts the Ancient Ancestors in the Heaven Extinguishing Palace, forcing them to step aside. He then heads for the deepest part of the palace, seeking his mother. After Li Chen leaves, Audrey Hera faces accusations from other Ancient Ancestors for not acting, but she dismisses them and decides to leave the Heaven Extinguishing Palace herself.

"Heaven Extinguishing Palace, remnants after the era of the Seven Realms."

As Li Chen rushed forward, he was simultaneously reading the information Audrey Hera sent over.

"They are entities who want to avoid getting caught in the war machine between the two sides after the battle of the Seven Realms."

Li Chen furrowed his brow.

The key issue is that within the Heaven Extinguishing Palace, there are not only people from the Starry Universe but also from the Era-Ancient Civilization.

Li Chen didn’t believe that those from the Era-Ancient Civilization would be unaware of the severity of the war between the two sides.

If they really betrayed their camp, once the Starry Universe is destroyed, where would they find shelter?

Moreover, the main thing is that these people are still hoping to reap some benefits from the final battle.

Yet, whether it’s the life of the Starry Universe or the entities of the Era-Ancient Civilization, they cannot escape one problem.

And that is the shelter after the destruction of the Starry Universe.

Without the Minor Universe of a Sky-obscuring Powerhouse, these people are like floating weeds without roots, as Li Chen had heard more than once.

Without the protection of a universe, one cannot survive in the space outside the universe.

Even a Palm Realm Powerhouse only has the ability to protect himself, and when his energy is exhausted, he has no option but to await death.

So, things have become interesting.

Is there really no pawn of the various factions within the Heaven Extinguishing Palace?

If there truly is one, then the pawn is hidden exceedingly well, including the so-called Palace Master of the Heaven Extinguishing Palace, and no one has ever noticed?

But now, Li Chen does not want to deal with these messy matters.

His goal is to rescue his mother.

Many years ago, he had resented his parents for never visiting him, leaving him in the Lower Realm.

Afterward, he understood Li Changcun’s intentions.

But his mother never appeared.

And now, having offspring of his own, he finally understood Li Changcun’s helplessness, as well as the helplessness of his mother, Ye Zhiqiu, whom he had never met.

Some things cannot be changed by human effort.

Or rather, at that time, their power was insufficient to bring about change.

The Heaven Extinguishing Palace was indeed an unbeatable colossus for them at the time, and still is even now.

But Li Chen intends to challenge it!

"Swish—"

Two figures suddenly appeared before Li Chen, blocking his path.

"Who goes there?"

Li Chen was about to speak when he noticed the two behind him already gathering power discreetly.

With the Eye of the Dao, nothing can escape!

Without further ado, Li Chen took the initiative to strike.

"Locking Heaven and Earth!"

The power the two had gathered halted, intending to ambush him, but was abruptly interrupted during the energy gathering process, and the backlash of power surged into their bodies. Li Chen stomped his foot and lunged forward.

He vanished into the space gate.

The next moment Li Chen reappeared, he was already behind the two.

In Li Chen’s hand, Red Moon had fresh blood flowing on it, yet before it could drip down, it was absorbed by the blade of Red Moon.

Behind Li Chen, the two figures stiffened abruptly, then their entire bodies were torn apart.

Their divine souls had fear etched on their faces, fleeing quickly, not daring to linger.

Li Chen didn’t even glance at the two divine souls, allowing them to escape.

True Realm Level divine souls, to him, truly held little importance.

These were two beings who had reached True Realm Peak, yet in Li Chen’s hands, they couldn’t even cause a momentary pause.

Leaving the two behind, Li Chen continued forward.

Alongside him, towering Divine Mountains floated in the void, and ordinary planets of life paled in comparison to even a mountaintop of these Divine Mountains.

Figures could be seen moving to and fro on these hovering Divine Mountains, some were vertically and horizontally powerful experts, while others were weaker cultivators.

These Divine Mountains represented individual worlds within the Heaven Extinguishing Palace.

Naturally, these weaker cultivators, and even ordinary people, reside at the base and the midsection of the mountains.

At the peaks of the mountains, however, were grandiose structures exclusively.

Clearly, these buildings housed the powerhouses of the Heaven Extinguishing Palace.

At this moment, some powerhouses emerged, casting hostile glances at Li Chen, the unfamiliar visitor.

It was clear that some had received information from the Outer Palace and didn’t act rashly; those who seemed inclined to attack Li Chen refrained after witnessing him instantly kill two True Realm beings.

"Who dares to act recklessly within the Heaven Extinguishing Palace?!"

Suddenly, a voice resembling thunder boomed from the top of a Divine Mountain.

Li Chen’s figure paused, finally halting his steps.

Turning his head, he saw a figure rapidly closing the spatial gap and arriving before him.

"Late Phase of the Heaven and Earth Realm."

With just one glance, Li Chen discerned the other’s cultivation.

Not only because of the other’s speed but also due to the unabashedly radiating energy on his person.

As the Eye of the Dao’s mysterious light flickered, Li Chen faintly perceived something different about the powerhouse standing in front of him.

"A person from the Mechanical Civilization?"

"Correct answer, but unfortunately no prize." The powerhouse whose body was as exquisite as porcelain slowly spoke.

This person wore only a vest; the exposed skin was not snow-white but exuded an unnatural luster.

This layer of skin was fake.

Since it bore no pores, it was just mere smoothness.

Yet Li Chen could feel that this powerhouse from the Mechanical Civilization was somewhat different from those he had previously encountered.

The life of the Mechanical Civilization is known for being rigid, but in this mechanical powerhouse, Li Chen sensed a spirituality unique to organic life forms.

"So now, do you intend to block my path?" Li Chen asked.

"Block your path?" The mechanical powerhouse shook his head, "Certainly not."

"I’m planning to kill you." His face was expressionless, yet the corners of his mouth gradually formed an eerie arc.

The Late Phase of the Heaven and Earth Realm powerhouse of the Mechanical Civilization, to some degree, already represents the peak of the technological civilization.

And in the cultivation civilization where Li Chen resides, the Palm Realm is the ultimate peak.

At this moment, the clashing of two different civilization development paths ensued.

"Before we start fighting, shouldn’t we at least exchange names?" The mechanical civilization powerhouse remarked, watching Li Chen, whose aura of laws increasingly manifested.

"Li Chen." Li Chen shrugged, Red Moon already gripped in his hand, while layers of Law Energy began to rise on his body.

"Good, my name is Qing Cang."

As he spoke, layers of light patterns started to ripple from Qing Cang’s eyes.

"Beginning to define target..." The mechanical, apathetic voice echoed in Qing Cang’s mind.
