Li Chen, severely injured and suppressed by an Ancient Ancestor, claimed his men were dead. The Ancestor, enraged and suspecting a treasure, attacked Li Chen. However, the "treasure" turned out to be Li Chen's phlegm, confusing the Ancestor. As the situation escalated, two more powerful Ancient Ancestors arrived, drawn by the commotion and the potential treasure. Li Chen, unfazed despite his injuries, seemed to be planning something more.

The so-called strong ones are, to a large extent, actually defined by the weak ones.

It’s like a Mid-Heaven Realm in the Heaven Realm looks as inconspicuous as a drop of water in the ocean.

But if you place it in the Lower Realm where even the Linked Heaven Level is rare, it becomes a supreme powerhouse.

The situation at hand is similar.

The three Ancient Ancestors present, within the Palm Realm, aren’t particularly notable, but due to the presence of Li Chen, the ’weakling’, they appear exceedingly powerful.

Of course, this is merely a trait of organisms.

If Li Chen weren’t present, perhaps they would have long started cursing, or even fighting directly. But because of Li Chen’s presence, they maintained minimal restraint.

At the very least, they had to maintain the demeanor of Palm Realm masters, and not start fighting over a disagreement, which would be a huge loss of face, right?

Li Chen understood this psychology even better than they did.

Such pretentiousness satisfies their faint sense of superiority, highlighting their strength.

This vanity, Li Chen did not know what purpose it served, but he understood that some people greatly covet such illusory things.

Yet he was unwilling to indulge them.

He wasn’t their parent, so why should he indulge them?

"What did you just say?" Ren Si Ancestor looked at Li Chen with a somewhat gloomy expression, and in an instant, the previous warmth and calmness vanished.

"Was what I said not clear enough?" Li Chen said calmly, with a smile on his face.

"It seems that Ziyun capturing you wasn’t without reason." Ren Si, after all, was a Heaven and Earth Realm powerhouse, and soon suppressed the anger bubbling in his heart: "Even if there’s no special treasure on you, just your mouth makes you the enemy of everyone."

"Kid, I’m very curious." At this time, Tuo Hai Ancient Ancestor also looked at Li Chen with a strange smile: "How have you survived until now without being killed?"

Li Chen shrugged: "Of course, by relying on strength."

"Strength?"

The three Ancient Ancestors exchanged a glance, seemingly hearing a big joke, and laughed simultaneously.

"You, a mere Domain Realm, and... relying on strength?"

"Hahaha... Little thing, you probably don’t know what a Palm Realm powerhouse truly means, right?"

At this moment, Li Chen finally had a chance to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, looked at them, and also laughed: "So, can you tell me, what does the Palm Realm truly mean?"

"Humph!" Ziyun Ancient Ancestor snorted coldly, looking at Li Chen with frosty eyes, as if seeing a dead man. He was completely convinced now, even if he didn’t kill him, this kid would surely die at the hands of either Tuo Hai or Ren Si.

"The Palm Realm signifies unprecedented power, it signifies the supreme powerhouses of the universe! Every Palm Realm powerhouse is the most powerful being in the entire universe. Now, you’ve seen three at once. It’s worth it even if you die." Ziyun Ancient Ancestor said mockingly.

Ordinary Domain Realm individuals, let alone communicating with them, don’t even qualify to view them from afar.

"Oh." Li Chen nodded: "So rare, huh?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a nearby space split open, and a figure emerged.

Judging by the aura emanating from this figure, there was no doubt that this was also a Palm Realm powerhouse!

"Oh? Another one has arrived, seems like a Palm Realm too." Li Chen ’curiously’ looked at Ziyun Ancient Ancestor and said.

"Rip!"

Two more intimidating figures tore through space.

"Two more came, hmm, now there’s six Palm Realm, right?" Li Chen tilted his head and asked Ziyun Ancient Ancestor: "So, am I going to die twice now?"

Ziyun Ancient Ancestor’s face flushed hotly; he had just declared Palm Realm powerhouses were extremely rare, and three more suddenly appeared, directly slapping him in the face!

"You little punk, courting death!"

Ziyun’s face twitched. Despite being a Palm Realm powerhouse and enduring the words of same-level powerhouses, being mocked by Li Chen, easily crushed by a Domain Realm, made him intolerably angry. He waved his hand to grab Li Chen.

However, before his hand could touch Li Chen, it was directly shattered by a streak of flowing light.

"Tuo Hai, what on earth do you mean?!" Ziyun turned his head angrily, shouting.

"Nothing." Tuo Hai Ancient Ancestor shook his head, speaking calmly: "I just wanted to know what treasure this kid is hiding. But you, Ziyun, you caught him first. Maybe you’ve already got the information from him and want to take this chance to silence him?"

"I..." Ziyun heard this and noticed the odd gazes from the three newly arrived Palm Realm powerhouses surrounding him, promptly denying: "I know nothing! I just caught him myself!"

At this moment, the others also discovered that the source of the strange fragrance was a burning glob of blood-spit...

The faces of the newly arrived Palm Realm powerhouses darkened instantly.

What’s this nonsense?

The peculiar fragrance was just spit?

At this moment, Li Chen pointed at Ziyun: "I’ve already given it to him, it’s on him. Do you think, a small Domain Realm caught by a Palm Realm powerhouse, could keep any secrets?"

Upon hearing this, Ziyun Ancient Ancestor felt bad, and his face changed.

"You little thing, dare to slander me, seeking death!!"

Ziyun said, preparing to strike Li Chen down on the spot.

"Ziyun, isn’t it a bit rash to silence him after obtaining something good?" A light laughter echoed; a newly arrived Ancient Ancestor intervened, thwarting Ziyun.

Ziyun’s blocked attack made his face instantly turn sour.

For he subtly noticed that after Li Chen’s single sentence, all the others began subtly locking their aura onto him.

Originally, his cultivation was the weakest among the Palm Realms present; if he were attacked by so many, the consequence would likely be dire.

Witnessing this, Li Chen couldn’t help but reveal a peculiar smile.

This is the common ailment of all intelligent beings: emotions, desires, no matter how advanced the cultivation, there’s no escape.

And targeting this point, Li Chen finally began his counterattack.

This guy was previously outrageously arrogant. Now, it’s his turn to play a harsh one.

"Oh, so lively here?"

With a light laugh, yet another Palm Realm powerhouse tore through space and arrived.

Seeing more and more powerhouses gathering, Ziyun sank deeper into despair.

In his mind, whatever treasure might be on Li Chen seemed increasingly out of his reach.

Moreover, he now had to consider the other powerhouses around him, all eyeing him covetously!

Yet, he didn’t notice the sly smile on Li Chen’s face from not too far away.
