"What is going on? Is someone engaged in a battle?"

The commotion caused by Li Chen was truly overwhelming, making it impossible for those around not to notice.

Upon hearing the disturbance, many people couldn’t resist heading over, abandoning their task of scavenging the surrounding edges.

After all, battles don’t erupt without a reason.

On one hand, they wanted to see who was fighting, and on the other, just in case... someone might have stumbled upon a world-shaking treasure and sparked conflict.

For these cultivators, the reason mattered little; in this place, they were not short on time, casually watching with the chance of encountering something valuable, and perhaps hitting the jackpot.

But when the numerous cultivators gathered and witnessed the scene before them, they were completely stunned.

"What... is this?"

"In this place, isn’t everyone’s cultivation suppressed below the Domain Realm? Is this the Domain Realm?"

"Don’t be ridiculous, if this level of power is the Domain Realm, I’ll chop off my head for you to sit on! Not even in my full strength, as an Immortal Venerable, can I confidently withstand such a level of attack!"

Seeing the terrifying commotion erupting in the sky, the surrounding cultivators couldn’t help but show deep apprehension in their eyes.

While most Soul Realm experts suppressed to the Domain Realm can unleash strength exceeding the Domain Realm, the excess is quite limited. But the scene before their eyes made them highly vigilant.

Because the level of power clashing here was already sufficiently strong to destroy a Soul Realm expert.

Bai Shi and Netherworld were also stunned by this sight.

"The boss is truly remarkable; years without a glimpse, he has become even more extraordinary," Bai Shi said with a bitter smile.

Netherworld didn’t speak, but the look in his eyes said it all.

"Daddy."

In the sky, Li Chen stood aloft, showing no intention of letting the shadow before him escape.

Even if he couldn’t kill the opponent, he’d surely leave a lifelong unforgettable memory for them. Without this, the opponent wouldn’t learn their lesson!

"Seven Slaying Sword!!"

Accompanied by Li Chen’s thunderous shout, the longsword filled with evil Qi suddenly shot up to the sky.

Li Chen, with his Immortal Artifact Manipulation Technique, directly controlled the Seven Slaying Sword, striking a fierce slash at the shadow trapped by the Wind Roar.

The strength of Seven Slaying Sword’s evil Qi was beyond anyone’s expectations.

Even Primordial Heavy Water had once said, purely in terms of destructive power, the Seven Slaying Sword was already on par with Supreme Treasure. But relatively speaking, the flaws of the Seven Slaying Sword were also extremely evident; if not careful, the evil Qi could backfire, turning its master into a monster solely obsessed with slaughter.

Li Chen’s eyes were blood-red, but deep within, there was a chilling coldness.

Through countless life-and-death experiences, Li Chen’s Dao Heart had long been as firm as a rock; even under the influence of the Seven Slaying Sword’s evil Qi, he remained unmoved.

This small mental influence was not enough for Li Chen!

No one knew that in Li Chen’s eyes, it was already a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, an endless slaughter and death, all were illusions brought by the Seven Slaying Sword’s evil Qi.

But facing such illusions, Li Chen did not even blink.

"Break!"

With Li Chen’s low cry, the entire illusory realm shattered open.

The Seven Slaying Sword was indeed the pinnacle treasure of the killing path, nurtured with evil Qi. But Li Chen himself had truly fought through mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

To say nothing else, in the battle of Remnant Cloud Forest, even Li Chen didn’t know how many of the Demon Race he had slaughtered.

Bodies piled into a mountain, even requiring breaks to destroy the accumulated corpses. The influence of the Seven Slaying Sword was strong, but to shake Li Chen’s Mind Spirit, it was still not enough!

Or to say, that amount of time was entirely insufficient!

Amidst the soaring Sword Qi, the wild destruction Sword Qi swept towards the storm.

Even the presence within the shadow showed a slight change in expression upon facing this rampaging destruction Sword Qi.

"What is this now, the destructive force is not inferior to the Law of Destruction? Damn, after so many years of disappearing, what has happened to this world, why are there so many monsters?!" the shadow cursed angrily, frantically mobilizing strength to counter this terrifying Sword Qi.

An unimaginably terrifying surge of force rose from the shadow’s body, and in the instant this force emerged, it seemed as though the entire world was about to collapse.

Many of the cultivators below turned pale and even directly collapsed to the ground.

"What... what is this?"

"World-Destroying Power? Are we... are we going to die?"

Not just these people, even Li Chen’s expression changed significantly upon sensing this force.

Feeling this force, Li Chen felt as if he were an insignificant ant facing the Starry Universe, the enormous gap in sensation nearly made him turn and flee.

"Don’t even think about it!"

At this moment, a woman’s voice echoed, originating from within the shadow itself.

That aura lasted just a flash, then abruptly receded, as if it had never existed, with the shadow’s strength returning to its previous level.

The shadow seemed furious as well: "This time, just stay obediently subdued!"

The terrifying aura rose again, forcibly suppressing the woman’s voice until it became weak.

In the instant this terrifying aura surged, Li Chen’s Five Elements Wind Roar seemed as fragile as paper, the entire storm was instantly torn apart.

"You little thing, you’ve successfully angered me!"

The shadow looked at Li Chen, a chilling light glinting in its eyes.

At this moment, Li Chen finally clearly saw the appearance of the shadow.

Upon seeing the other’s appearance, Li Chen couldn’t help but be stunned.

"You are..."

Before Li Chen could finish speaking, he saw the other’s expression change, and a hand suddenly lifted, slamming harshly onto its chest.

"Boom!!"

The terrifying power erupted, and even with the terrifying strength within the shadow, it was struck hard by the backlash of its own hand, falling from the sky like a meteorite, crashing fiercely onto the ground.

"Don’t just stand there, give me that Jade Flute on you!" The woman’s voice sounded again.

Li Chen was startled, and without thinking, directly offered up the Jade Flute.

The Jade Flute flashed and landed directly in the shadow’s hand.

At this moment, the woman’s shout echoed.

"Still want to suppress me? Let’s see who suppresses whom this time!!"

Initially, in Li Chen’s eyes, the Jade Flute that seemed devoid of divine essence and power suddenly burst into brilliant light.

The brightness of this light even illuminated the entire surrounding land, enveloping heaven and earth in a blinding white.

Even those with powerful cultivation in the surrounding Domain Realm felt completely blind, unable to see anything.

"What’s happening? What happened?"

"Damn it, I can’t see, run!"

"This place isn’t safe to linger, or else we might get caught in it, hurry, go!"

One by one, the experts began to panic, using their divine sense to barely discern a direction and flee madly.

They had completely lost the thought of taking advantage; the terrifying extent of this battle had far exceeded their expectations.

Neither side in the confrontation could be afforded to be offended.

Especially since they saw one side was the young Array Master who had previously opened a path for them in the valley, their hearts chilled involuntarily.

Among them, many had plotted against this Array Master, but now they were glad they hadn’t acted, or they’d have likely already become corpses.

As for the other figure, obscured by shadow and unrecognizable, they did not know, but there was no doubt it was an immensely powerful being who could kill them easily!

Even Bai Shi and Netherworld were blinded at this moment.

But the two didn’t worry, for they heard Li Chen’s voice by their ears.

"Full defense!"

With Li Chen’s voice, they felt a gentle force surrounding them.

Three Lives Everything Armor enveloped their heads, and gentle nine-colored light became the world’s most solid defense!

Li Chen deeply inhaled.

He feared he was the only one apart from the shadow still possessing sight amid the crowd.

In the earlier exchange, he also perceived the other’s anomaly.

"Attack me with all your might, even destroy this body if necessary; once this body is destroyed, he’ll lose his reliance and have to flee." The woman’s voice resounded.

"What about you?" Li Chen inquired.

The woman’s voice did not reply but fell silent.

Li Chen said no more, instead quietly beginning to churn.

One Supreme Treasure after another flew out from his body.

This was a formidable expert whom even Regretless Mountain Range couldn’t suppress; if not for the woman occupying the other’s attention, Li Chen wouldn’t know how many moves he could withstand.

Destroying the other’s body wasn’t a simple task.

No longer did Li Chen possess options.

Supreme Treasures one after another flew out from Li Chen’s body; this was Li Chen’s second time fighting with full treasure power!

Primordial Heavy Water flowed out, transforming into a black river, pressing heavily upon the shadow below, like the terrifying power of a collapsing sky, causing the entire land to cave in even before reaching the ground.

"Boundless Sea!"

Carrying infinite weight, Primordial Heavy Water pressed heavily downward.

Simultaneously, Li Chen pointed out again, the Two-Yi Yin Yang Mirror transformed into a giant Yin-Yang Fish, spinning in the air.

A dragon of ice and a dragon of fire suddenly shot out from either side of the Two-Yi Yin Yang Mirror, roaring and charging at the shadow below.

The Five Elements Boots rapidly circled around, instantly transforming into rays of light that sealed the entire area. Meanwhile, the runes from the Bagua Array Diagram shot into the sky, sealing the entire space, ancient runes imprisoning the earth, making the space terrifyingly stable; not even the strongest force could tear it apart to escape.

Ultimately, eight Heavenly Dao Pearls merged into the Black River, forming a giant pillar of light that instantly enveloped the existence in the shadow.

"Nine Palaces... Annihilate Dao!"
