Li Chen unleashed his perfected Red Dust Severance Blade, a divine skill targeting the Dao heart, severely wounding hundreds of Palm Realm powerhouses and even killing two Dao Saints. As the Void Black Tide threatened to devour the Jianmu Universe, the Founding Realm powerhouse Tianque arrived. Tianque was angered by the casualties and demanded the perpetrator step forward, but Li Chen, deeming Tianque's Dao too weak, turned to leave, only to be stopped by Tianque's power. Li Chen easily broke free, declaring no interest in challenging Tianque, which only piqued Tianque's curiosity.

Tian Que is about to take action!

This news, without a doubt, excited many Palm Realm powerhouses around.

For them, although Jianmu Universe’s environment is suitable for cultivation and free of disputes, it is also too comfortable.

Comfortable to the point where, at their current Realm, they don’t know how to continue improving.

And the Vast Nihility is filled with unknowns that elicit awe, causing few to dare leave the Great Universe’s protection and venture into the Vast Nihility.

Generation after generation, the Palm Realm of Jianmu Universe accumulated incessantly.

Yet to this day, many have not truly witnessed the action of an Origin Realm powerhouse.

They only know that an Origin Realm powerhouse is immensely powerful, beyond imagination.

However, how strong is an Origin Realm powerhouse? Few are aware.

Take Li Chen’s previous overpowering Red Dust Severance Blade power; many Palm Realm powerhouses who felt that strike believed it might be a power exclusive to the Origin Realm.

Because of the unknown, there is reverence.

But now, Tian Que, an Origin Realm powerhouse, seems truly about to take action.

Unlike previously at the Cosmic Membrane against the Black Tide of Nihility, where not much could be discerned, since the Black Tide’s power seems more terrifying.

Only when confronting another can one see how strong an Origin Realm powerhouse truly is!

Facing Li Chen, Tian Que spoke slowly: “Judging by your tone, it seems you were the one who killed that person just now?”

“Yes.” Li Chen nodded.

“Then why did you not answer me just now? Was it out of guilt?” Tian Que asked again.

“No.” Li Chen shook his head. “I simply didn’t want to bother with you.”

A group of Palm Realm powerhouses was utterly dumbfounded.

Is this the tone one uses to speak to an Origin Realm powerhouse?

Could it be he’s truly tired of living?

Or does he arrogantly believe he can contend with an Origin Realm powerhouse?

At this point, even those earlier filled with hostility towards Li Chen fell silent.

For in the current strange circumstance, it was not their place to speak.

“Very well, quite bold!” Tian Que chuckled, his voice suddenly turning cold: “Is it because you think I care about reputation and don’t dare act against you?”

Li Chen turned and walked away.

As he said earlier, he really did not want to engage with this guy.

Because there was a scent about this guy he very much disliked.

Tian Que’s cold sneer froze, turning from baffled to sullen: “Since you’re seeking death, I shall oblige!”

“Creation through contemplation!”

He casually pointed at Li Chen, Tian Que’s face bearing indifferent composure, but the power in that point sent shivers down the spines of countless Palm Realm powerhouses.

Li Chen abruptly turned, twisting his body to unleash a punch, colliding with the finger beam that pierced the sky.

The furious Power of the Universe exploded intensely.

Palm Realm powerhouses around Li Chen rapidly retreated.

For they sensed that even a mere ripple from this frightening attack could seriously wound them.

Space cracked, Li Chen appeared in a folded space, surrounded by overlapping planes.

A thread of blood began to leak from the corner of his mouth.

“Not great, but his Realm is high.” Li Chen thought.

“Not bad.” Seeing Li Chen only slightly injured, Tian Que’s eyebrows subtly furrowed then relaxed as he lightly laughed: “To withstand my point, you must have some skill.”

“If you can withstand my second point, I’ll let you leave!”

Tian Que’s voice quickly turned cold again: “Contemplation, annihilation of all things!”

At Li Chen’s side, the finger beam’s power, which he thought was dispersed and destroyed, suddenly gathered again.

This time, however, it gathered into not one but countless finger beams, all sealing towards Li Chen.

Each finger beam could easily pierce the universe of a Dao Saint powerhouse!

But at this moment, Li Chen suddenly grinned.

“Universe, open.”

“Unmovable as a Mountain, suppress.”

“Clang clang clang clang…!!!”

A series of terrifying collision noises rang out.

Yet all sharp finger beams dissipated, the power capable of obliterating multiple planes vanished entirely, leaving not a scratch on Li Chen’s body.

Stepping out from shattered space, Li Chen looked at Tian Que.

Tian Que’s face was unpleasant.

“Your homeland is heading towards ruin; as an Origin Realm powerhouse, don’t you consider leaving a way out for your own people, instead of embroiled in struggles here? Is this the level of your Dao Heart?” Li Chen spoke softly.

Tian Que shivered involuntarily upon hearing this.

Not that Li Chen’s words lacked reason, but because they made so much sense that he couldn’t find a reply.

Indeed, if he continued to tangle with Li Chen now, it could affect his Dao Heart!

Once the Dao Heart is tainted, his cultivation path would become more arduous.

Tian Que glanced deeply at Li Chen and fell silent.

His silence was recognition of Li Chen’s strength, as he knew even if he acted further, he might not subdue this enigmatic white-haired youth quickly.

For just an instant earlier, he sensed the true cosmic aura from Li Chen…

Such a thing belonged to an Origin Realm powerhouse.

This white-haired youth might be even more mysterious than he imagined.

As an Origin Realm powerhouse, having explored the Vast Nihility multiple times, he understood better than those from Jianmu Universe the hidden secrets among endless beings within the Vast Nihility.

Some secrets are beyond even his reach.

Li Chen no longer looked at Tian Que, merely casting a deep gaze at the giant pillar formed by Black Tide of Nihility, then turned away.

Since Jianmu Universe did not welcome him, there was no need to stay.

Before leaving, though, he wanted to bid farewell to Hong.

Because perhaps this departure would be the final farewell.

Li Chen knew better than anyone what awaited him upon returning to the Starry Universe.

A day later, Li Chen returned to Dreamfall Battlefield, saying his final goodbye amidst Hong’s regrets.

After parting with Hong, Li Chen tore through the cosmic membrane, arriving beyond Jianmu Universe.

Outside Jianmu Universe was the Vast Nihility.

Vaguely, he could see numerous Palm Realm powerhouses furiously striking the Black Tide of Nihility.

Yet the Black Tide remained unmoved.

Shaking his head, Li Chen prepared to use the Seven Realms Tome to discern direction and leave, when a figure appeared nearby.

“Are you leaving just like that?”

Li Chen turned to see that the figure was none other than the Poem Shadow Dao Saint, who had kept Jianmu Universe peaceful over countless years.
