Li Chen found himself trapped by a light barrier and subjected to intense mind suppression, weakening him significantly. Despite the effects, he used his Arrow of Life and Death to break free and engage in a brutal close-quarters fight with Qing Cang, who was also under pressure from his own malfunctioning systems. As Qing Cang prepared his ultimate judgment, Li Chen broke free from the mind suppression, realizing the true danger was a new, overwhelming power of eradication.

Facing the sky-full of radiance, Li Chen’s blood-red eyes actually calmed down.

Stay cool.

That was Li Chen’s greatest strength.

But this strange kind of attack was indeed something he was encountering for the first time.

Even after breaking the mental suppression, a million thoughts flashed through Li Chen’s mind in an instant, yet not one gave him absolute confidence to crack this bizarre attack.

"Worthy of being a Late Phase Heaven and Earth Realm killer move!" Even in a desperate situation, Li Chen couldn’t help but admire Qing Cang.

Honestly, this kind of attack was probably unsolvable for most Ancient Ancestors.

Even Li Chen was no exception.

Because this was his first contact with this type of killer move.

If he were given a few more tries, maybe he could come up with a way to break it.

But clearly, the current Qing Cang was not going to give him that chance.

To await the descent of this Final Judgement, Qing Cang had willingly let his own body be damaged to eighty percent. That alone showed this sure-kill strike was indeed his ultimate Killer Move.

To this day, Qing Cang had never seen an Ancient Ancestor escape his Final Judgement.

"You’re going to use it now?" Li Chen’s brows knitted tight.

"No. If I use it now and the other side is on guard, it won’t have the full effect."

"But... just how the hell is this thing supposed to be broken?"

Finally, the countless rays of light reached Li Chen’s surroundings. Between ray and ray, they linked up to form a vast cycle ring, with Li Chen at the center, then suddenly exploded.

"Die!" With only a small half of his body and half a head left, Qing Cang’s face twisted into an incomparably hideous grin.

His only remaining arm stowed the Great Sword away and began drawing in parts to repair himself.

No living being could escape Final Judgement. No matter how powerful this Ancient Ancestor called Li Chen was, he couldn’t possibly escape.

Qing Cang had absolute confidence in this.

"Looks like Ancient Ancestor Qingcang wins."

"I said it, how could a random Star Sky Ancient Ancestor from the outside world possibly be a match for Ancient Ancestor Qingcang?"

"Ancient Ancestor Qingcang has long been nigh-unmatched in the Heaven and Earth Realm. After all these years of accumulation, his strength has only become more unfathomable."

On both sides, atop the Divine Mountains, some people laughed as they spoke.

In their eyes, Li Chen was also doomed.

But at this moment, within the sky-filling light, the rolling thick smoke slowly dispersed, and a single hand appeared before everyone’s eyes.

This scene made everyone freeze.

Even Qing Cang suddenly stiffened.

But when the smoke fully cleared and he saw that there was nothing behind that hand, Qing Cang finally let out a breath of relief again.

Yet in his heart, he still couldn’t help feeling some suspicion.

He had clearly reduced Li Chen to zero with Final Judgement.

Reasonably speaking, nothing at all should exist anymore. How could there still be a hand remaining?

Could it be that this hand held some kind of secret?

Qing Cang’s heart stirred; he wanted to collect that hand.

Yet when he grasped at it from the air, that hand didn’t budge an inch.

"What’s going on?"

Just as Qing Cang’s doubts grew heavier, the hand slowly unfurled.

In the center of the palm, there was a tiny point emitting Golden Light.

That little point was precisely the Seven Realms Tome.

And stored within that point was Li Chen’s Divine Soul.

Qing Cang’s Final Judgement could destroy Li Chen, but it could not destroy the Seven Realms Tome.

Although Li Chen was indeed a bit miserable now, beaten until only a single hand remained.

But to him, that didn’t matter. As long as his Divine Soul wasn’t destroyed, it was fine.

"Creation!"

Li Chen’s Divine Soul spoke.

"Indestructible!"

As Li Chen’s Soul Sound fell, that hand started to madly regenerate.

After the hand came the wrist.

Then the arm, the shoulder, the chest, the neck, the head...

In the blink of an eye, Li Chen’s body reappeared in the Void.

With a wave of his hand, a White Robe fell onto Li Chen’s body.

Li Chen’s gaze turned toward Qing Cang, whose face was now filled with panic.

Toward Qing Cang, Li Chen pointed a finger.

In the Void, countless spears appeared from nowhere. In an instant, they pierced through Qing Cang countless times, nailing him alive in the Void.

"Creation, Annihilation."

With Li Chen’s calm sweep of his hand, the countless spears dispersed.

And dispersed along with the spears was Qing Cang’s remaining body.

Reaching out, Li Chen thrust his arm into a Spatial Rift. On the other end, it extended from where Qing Cang had been, grabbed something, then drew back.

"Mechanical Core." Li Chen nodded slightly.

A Late Phase Heaven and Earth Realm Mechanical Core, even for him, had value beyond estimation.

Li Chen had received information from a lifeform of the Mechanical Civilization: a single Mechanical Core was essentially equal to the entirety of a Mechanical Civilization powerhouse.

All his Power came from this core.

And just how great the value of this core was could be seen from that near-fatal Final Judgement that had almost taken Li Chen out just now.

If he could crack the code of the Mechanical Core and claim everything inside as his own, then for the forces under Li Chen’s command, and even for the entire Starry Universe, it would be an immeasurable fortune.

At this moment, Li Chen turned his head, looking toward the peaks of the Divine Mountains tens of thousands of miles away.

All the experts swept by Li Chen’s gaze lowered their heads one after another, not daring to meet his eyes.

Even Ancient Ancestor Qingcang was dead; if they went up, it’d be nothing but throwing their lives away.

This kind of thankless chore—forget it.

Anyway, Heaven Extinguishing Palace still had the Palace Master inside. These people would rather preserve their little lives.

Withdrawing his gaze, Li Chen couldn’t help giving a short, mocking laugh.

Dozens of Heaven and Earth Realm experts were swept by his eyes, yet not a single one dared to meet his stare.

This is Heaven Extinguishing Palace?

No wonder that old man had nothing but contempt for these people.

Without even the courage to fight, what does high Cultivation amount to?

Tossing the core lightly in his hand, Li Chen casually stowed it away.

"Thousands of miles to deliver your head—thin gift, deep sentiment. I’ll accept it."

At the same time, Qing Cang’s Ring and Imperial Palaces were found by Li Chen and casually swept away.

An old-brand Ancient Ancestor, and Late Phase Heaven and Earth Realm at that—the wealth he possessed was naturally many times greater than that of a freshly advanced Ancient Ancestor like Li Chen.

Earlier he hadn’t had the Time to loot, only grabbed the Rings of a few Ancient Ancestors he’d killed in passing.

Now that it was laid out in front of him, of course Li Chen was going to take it.

During this whole process, not a single person dared say so much as half a sentence.

After he finished looting, Li Chen didn’t hurry to move. He first sat down on the mountain peak where Qing Cang had been.

He needed some Time to recover his depletion and heal his wounds.

After all, once he went in again, he would likely encounter the Palace Master that Audrey Hera had spoken of.

Without question, that was the greatest obstacle of Li Chen’s trip.

An ultimate powerhouse who was very likely a Dao Saint.

As he recovered, Li Chen pondered his countermeasures.

That was a Dao Saint.

Even someone as confident as him had absolutely no sure plan at this moment.

"...But no matter what, I will definitely take her out of here!" Li Chen closed his eyes, his entire body radiating pressure.
