Li Chen is surrounded by hundreds of Palm Realm powerhouses from the Jianmu Universe, who demand he share his method for resisting the Black Tide of Nihility. When Li Chen refuses, a fierce fighter named Yue Shan Dao Saint attacks him. Yue Shan transforms into a giant and strikes Li Chen with a powerful hammer, but Li Chen's physical body withstands the blow.

The Yue Shan Saint acted with fury, and this strike was certainly at least eight parts of its full power.

A blow of this magnitude, even against the universe of a rank strong, could smash it completely.

Yet this fierce blow landed on the adversary’s head, and the adversary remained unmoved?

Not only Yue Shan Saint, but everyone present seemed to fall under a delusion.

It was as if standing under the hammer of Yue Shan Saint was not a Dao Saint powerhouse, but a Supreme Treasure!

Moreover, it was not a conventional Universe’s Supreme Treasure, but… a Vast Nihility Supreme Treasure!

A treasure that could exist within Vast Nihility without being destroyed, eternally existing… Vast Nihility Supreme Treasure!

“That’s all the strength you have?” Li Chen reached out to brush away Yue Shan Saint’s hammer, still in a daze, and softly said: “Is this your Way of the Palm Realm? This… is the power you claim?”

“Too light.”

Li Chen gently shook his head.

“Master.” At this moment, Red Moon suddenly pointed at Li Chen’s forehead, saying: “You’re bleeding.”

A trail of shimmering blood slowly trickled down Li Chen’s brow. At his current realm, his blood had become the most mystical and rare substance in the world, a single drop of which could destroy a Planet of Life in the Starry Universe!

Li Chen’s face suddenly darkened.

He reached out to wipe the blood from his head, quickly feeling the skin atop his head.

Hmm… the skin broke.

“I don’t believe it!!”

At this moment, Yue Shan Saint fiercely roared and lifted the colossal hammer in his hand again, wildly striking toward Li Chen.

“Boom boom boom boom!!!!”

A series of terrifying shocks ensued, and even the vast land was forcibly crushed and sank by Yue Shan Saint’s feral strength.

It’s important to note, this is the Jiankong Realm!

The strongest Great Realm of the Jianmu Universe, and countless powerhouses had jointly reinforced it not long ago.

Yet even with such reinforcement, it was forcibly crushed to sink by Yue Shan Saint, indicating the terrifying extent of Yue Shan Saint’s power.

Amid the earth-shattering dust, a hand suddenly stretched out, directly deflecting the frenzied hammer blows, coming before Yue Shan Saint.

“Crack!!”

The Yin Universe before this hand seemed to offer no resistance, directly shattered by the palm.

Then, this very hand further reached into Yue Shan Saint’s universe, abruptly… grabbing Yue Shan Saint’s throat.

“No more hammering.”

An impatient voice rang from the dust.

In the next instant, the ground’s gravity seemed to instantly increase hundreds to thousands of times, and countless dust was instantly sucked back into the ground by this terrible force.

At this moment, the figures of Li Chen and Yue Shan Saint reappeared before everyone’s eyes.

At this moment, Li Chen’s body had become as towering as Yue Shan Saint’s.

This wasn’t any Divine Skill; for Palm Realm powerhouses, the change in the physical body size was just a matter of thought, the key was still in the strength’s potency. If Li Chen wished, he could instantly become as large as a star or even as vast as a galaxy.

Grasping Yue Shan Saint’s throat with one hand, Li Chen gently shook his head: “So weak, and yet you dare to strike?”

Yue Shan Saint’s face reddened from Li Chen’s grip, and even his Sea of Consciousness Divine Soul was imprisoned by a mysterious power, unable to exert any Mana or Divine Skills, forced into this humiliating position while Li Chen’s solitary grip dominated him. In terms of physical strength alone, he felt in front of Li Chen as if he were sand facing a giant mountain, without any capacity to resist.

“Next.”

With a single squeeze, Li Chen directly threw Yue Shan Saint away.

This squeeze didn’t claim Yue Shan Saint’s life, but the throat, after all, was a vital point on the physical body, and a simple squeeze stole half of Yue Shan Saint’s life, strangely even when thrown out by Li Chen, he couldn’t exert any Mana, still locked tight by that mysterious force.

“I’ll go!”

Another Dao Saint with a grand aura stepped forth, vanishing as soon as he appeared. He excelled in stealth attacks, cultivating Laws related to darkness and shadows, often lethal with exceedingly strong attacks, yet his defense invariably lagged compared to those of the same realm.

Li Chen didn’t even move his steps; a twist of his body and a side punch was launched.

“Bang!!”

In the void, Li Chen’s fist seemed to hit something.

Soon, the Dao Saint was seen flying back with his eyes rolling white, unknown alive or dead.

This punch directly drove his Divine Soul into slumber.

Li Chen retracted his fist; if he hadn’t held back, this punch might have obliterated this fellow’s Divine Soul entirely.

Glancing at the surrounding powerhouses who still held no intent to leave, Li Chen nonchalantly said: “Next.”

Another speed-upholding powerhouse stepped out, but in front of Li Chen, he hadn’t made enough moves before a hand suddenly stretched out from Different Space, hitting his chest, leaving him seriously injured and losing combat power.

“Next.”

“Next!”

“Next!!”

“Next…”

Looking at the numerous Palm Realm powerhouses who still hadn’t stepped forward, Li Chen’s expression remained cold as ever, having defeated numerous Dao Saints, yet seemingly having done nothing, spoke calmly: “What’s wrong? No one wants the Secret Technique from me?”

Weak, too weak!

Seeing his own hands, Li Chen was somewhat dazed.

It wasn’t that he was too strong, but the Palm Realm powerhouses of the Jianmu Universe… were too weak.

These people lived too comfortably.

So comfortable that they became so weak.

And the Starry Universe?

The Starry Universe faced too many enemies.

There are Doomsday Beast Souls, Era-Ancient Civilizations, and… the World-Destroying Beast that might awaken at any time during this final Era!

The cultivators of the Starry Universe have undergone so much.

Even when these people were weak, they experienced life-and-death moments and desperate battles, but upon reaching the Palm Realm, they all became too complacent.

Complacency always robs one of their drive.

Even for Palm Realm powerhouses, it’s the same.

From beginning to end, Li Chen aside from initially wanting to experience the power of Yue Shan Saint and enduring a hammer as Unmovable as a Mountain, later found no need to use the Way of the Palm Realm at all.

These people… were simply too weak.

“Since one-on-one combat isn’t a match for him, then let’s join together, kill him, and search his Divine Soul for the Secret Technique enabling direct contact with the Black Tide of Nihility! So long as we obtain such a Secret Technique, regardless of entering other universes, we can absolutely become esteemed guests!” A strong individual’s eyes gleamed dangerously.
