Li Chen has infiltrated the Heaven Extinguishing Palace to rescue his mother, the Ancient Ancestor Snow Maple. Despite the Palace Master's immense power and the guards' strength, Li Chen's unique abilities and the respect owed to his mother allow him to advance toward the Extinguishing Emperor Palace. He easily dispatches the guards and demands information about the dungeon from the remaining leader.

There is a dungeon in the Extinguishing Emperor Palace.

But it is not a conventional dungeon.

Rather than a cell, it’s more of a massive underground palace.

And those ’held’ within these underground palaces are nothing short of top-notch powerhouses.

If it weren’t for being unable to leave these underground palaces, it would be more of a place of indulgence than a dungeon.

Of course, no matter how magnificent this underground palace is built, no one would enjoy being confined in such a place.

"Is this the dungeon of the Extinguishing Emperor Palace?" Standing at the giant underground entrance, a strange light flashed in Li Chen’s eyes.

Because, at this underground entrance, there is an extraordinary Teleportation Array.

In other words, to enter the dungeon of the Extinguishing Emperor Palace, it is impossible to enter through conventional methods; one must go through teleportation.

Similarly, if the ’prisoners’ in the dungeon wish to escape, they must come out from such a Teleportation Array.

Because the dungeon contains countless Restrictions, which interlock and ultimately form an enormous Formation, trapping the entire dungeon within. Escaping relying on personal strength alone is almost completely impossible.

Unless one possesses Dao Saint Level strength.

Of course, if one were truly a Dao Saint, they wouldn’t be incarcerated in the dungeon in the first place.

"So, your Palace Master of the Heaven Extinguishing Palace is now in Closed-door Cultivation?"

Li Chen looked at the Guard Captain before him and slowly spoke.

"Yes...yes."

The Guard Captain spoke somewhat nervously.

It’s not that he is cowardly, but that the young man before him is truly too powerful.

Despite being an Ancient Ancestor at the Palm Realm and a powerhouse of the Heaven and Earth Realm, he was subdued by this young man without the slightest ability to resist.

So, what terrifying power does this young man possess?

To know when to yield is wise, or else he wouldn’t have given up being a solitary powerhouse elsewhere in the Heaven Extinguishing Palace and become a Guard Captain here at the Extinguishing Emperor Palace.

Recognizing the situation, the Guard Captain immediately expressed his willingness to cooperate.

Because he could clearly feel the killing intent emanating from this young man, and judging from his previous, simple yet decisive slaughter, if he didn’t cooperate, he would end up like those guards who had been killed before.

He had no doubt that this killing intent-drenched young man in the white robe would do so.

"Ever since the incident with the Ancient Ancestor Snow Maple, the Palace Master has entered Closed-door Cultivation, and it has been nearly six hundred years. Usually, he would only send out one or two alter egos to act."

the Guard Captain said.

"Does that mean, once discovered by his alter ego, the main body is very likely to be awakened?" Li Chen asked.

"This..." the Guard Captain chuckled dryly, "This I am aware of."

"May I ask your honorable name?"

The Guard Captain waved his hand, "Don’t dare, don’t dare, I am merely Zenith."

Li Chen shook his head, "Ancient Ancestor of Zenith, I apologize for this matter, if there is a chance, Hongchen will surely compensate you."

"Hongchen Ancestor is too kind," Zenith chuckled dryly.

Li Chen nodded and did not speak further.

He is not someone who enjoys unnecessary killing, but if he truly needs to kill an enemy, he will not be soft-hearted.

This time, he directly killed the other guards because he knew that if he let them go, they would definitely alert others in the Extinguishing Emperor Palace, which would put him in an extremely disadvantageous position.

Li Chen is not afraid of a great battle; he just didn’t want a battle to break out prematurely before rescuing the people.

That would be very troublesome.

So, to those guards he exterminated, Li Chen could only say sorry.

It’s not hypocrisy, just that some things have to be done.

After passing through the Teleportation Array, amidst the surrounding colorful light, Li Chen appeared in an enormous underground space.

"This is the Underground Palace," Zenith said.

"Underground Palace?" Li Chen’s smile was somewhat mocking, "Dungeon, right."

Zenith chuckled dryly and said no more.

"Ancient Ancestor of Zenith, I want to find Ancient Ancestor Snow Maple, do you know where she is now?" Li Chen asked.

"I don’t really know that," Zenith shook his head, "I merely maintain the position of Guard Commander outside the Extinguishing Emperor Palace, this Underground Palace is not under my jurisdiction."

"I understand," Li Chen nodded.

As Li Chen spoke, numerous people were approaching from all directions within his Divine Sense.

Clearly, Li Chen’s illegal incursion had been detected.

"Who dares to trespass the Underground Palace, surrender quickly!"

In the blink of an eye, several figures appeared before Li Chen.

Under Li Chen’s Eye of the Dao, he immediately saw that these figures were not genuine life forms but rather alchemic creations.

They emanated an eerie metallic sheen and possessed extremely extraordinary Spiritual Intelligence.

"A combination of Technological Lineage and Cultivation Lineage’s alchemic creations?"

Li Chen squinted, waving a single hand.

The Law Radiance transformed into a horizontal slicing arc, flashing past these figures’ waists.

However, to Li Chen’s surprise, his Law Radiance collapsed instantly upon touching the alchemic lifeforms’ bodies.

"Hongchen Ancestor, I must remind you, when these alchemic lifeforms were created, they came with a strange counter-Restriction, which gives them significant resistance to Law Power," at this moment, Zenith whispered through Sound Transmission.

Bringing Li Chen here, he undoubtedly was making a mistake. After this incident, if he didn’t leave this place, he might also become one of the incarcerated in this Underground Palace. In a sense, he was already in the same boat as Li Chen.

However, he had not yet decided to betray the Heaven Extinguishing Palace.

Li Chen glanced at Zenith, not intending to let him take action, and rushed out alone.

Since they have resistance to Law Power, then it’s better to eliminate them physically.

Under Zenith’s shock, Li Chen directly pierced his palm, letting a substantial amount of blood spill.

In just a few eye blinks, the blood transformed into multiple versions of Li Chen, charging towards the surrounding alchemic lifeforms.

"What kind of Divine Skill is this?" Zenith was full of puzzlement, despite being an Ancient Ancestor; he couldn’t comprehend Li Chen’s Art of Avatar.

A group of ’Li Chens’ simultaneously grinned.

This is the Divine Power of the Body.

It was a strange ability developed by Li Chen while researching the Indestructible Body.

Li Chen’s Indestructible Body possesses extremely terrifying recovery abilities, even if only a drop of blood remains, it can achieve rebirth. If that’s the case, then why not use more blood to reform a body?

Soon, a large group of alchemic lifeforms was torn apart by Li Chen.

With the slaughter concluded, each alter ego merged back into Li Chen’s main body.

"Ancient Ancestor of Zenith, please continue to lead the way," opening his eyes, Li Chen, his white robe unsullied, spoke slowly.
