The woman from before has left by now, and Li Chen found that only Bai Shi and You Ming were by his side.

Looking at the silhouette that had already vanished, Li Chen was slightly silent.

But in the end, Li Chen said nothing, only sighed softly.

"How did you encounter that guy?"

At this moment, Li Chen asked the two people.

"We were discovered by that guy while tracking a powerful enemy from the Demon Realm." You Ming thought for a moment, speaking softly: "We don’t know why, but as soon as he found us, he crazily chased after us, saying there was a familiar aura on me or something..."

"A familiar aura?" Li Chen nodded, understanding some of it.

The familiar aura must refer to his own. You Ming, before he transformed, was nurtured with Li Chen’s essence blood, so it’s not wrong to say You Ming inherited his bloodline. If there’s something familiar, it should come from him.

And that person...

"Alright, since it’s over now, don’t dwell on it too much." Li Chen laughed and shook his head.

"Boss, what exactly is that person’s strength?" Although Bai Shi always trusted Li Chen greatly, when the woman hadn’t yet emerged from the shadows, a trace of aura she accidentally emitted terrified Bai Shi, leaving him pale faced. He had never seen such a terrifying fluctuation of aura before.

You Ming also looked at Li Chen with concern.

Though You Ming didn’t know what Li Chen had gone through, from the powerful attack Li Chen just unleashed, even sacrificing a Supreme Treasure, it was clear that the black cloud was no simple matter.

In You Ming’s perception, any enemy Li Chen faced, he would always confront head-on, rarely relying on external help.

Yet the opponent was so powerful that Li Chen had to sacrifice so many Supreme Treasures, showing how formidable the foe was. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

Li Chen was silently still for a moment, then gave the two a smile.

"If my guess is correct, if it weren’t for the woman restraining him, he should be... Palm Realm." With that, Li Chen’s voice turned a bit bitter.

Palm Realm, that’s Palm Realm!

In the entire Four Realms, there’s no talk of anyone being a Palm Realm powerhouse!

Hearing the words Palm Realm, You Ming and Bai Shi were also shocked into silence, unable to recover for a long time.

Palm Realm!

Without needing another explanation, just those two words alone bring enough pressure to anyone!

Watching the two digesting the information, Li Chen did not speak.

If it weren’t for the woman constantly restraining that Doomsday Beast Soul, he would have been helpless against the opponent even with the Supreme Treasure. This victory wasn’t his alone but the result of a joint effort between him and the woman.

However, the final result was good; Li Chen defeated the Doomsday Beast Soul, and the woman reclaimed her body.

It won’t be long before another Palm Realm powerhouse emerges in this world, right?

Thinking of certain things, Li Chen couldn’t help but force a bitter smile.

The woman didn’t want to stay, and Li Chen understood, because his cultivation at this time was still too low. In some aspects, he was not qualified to know and participate in certain ancient matters.

The woman previously disclosed information about Guangming to him, probably already making an exception.

"Ultimately, is it still insufficient strength?" Li Chen was grimly silent.

After a good while, You Ming and Bai Shi finally recovered, and Li Chen’s gaze also gathered again, looking toward a strange area far away.

"Maybe I truly shouldn’t hesitate any longer," Li Chen said softly.

With Li Chen’s soft murmur, the shackles restraining the Domain Realm and Soul Realm on him suddenly shifted.

Just from that shift, Li Chen’s cultivation immediately loosened.

In the Domain Realm, Li Chen had been accumulating for a long time.

As early as in the Immortal Domain Mo clan, Li Chen could have broken through to the Soul Realm in one breath.

Yet he didn’t do it, instead continuously accumulating, as only deeper accumulation would leave him without worries.

Entirely adapted from the Seven Realms Tome’s cultivation technique, Li Chen’s cultivation shows no flaws at all, progressing steadily even through twice-cultivated realms, its stability immense.

The Soul Realm is already within reach.

Originally, Li Chen felt there was no need to rush; even without breakthrough to Soul Realm, ordinary Soul Realm experts couldn’t deal with him. Even facing Daoist Lord, Li Chen had chances to escape.

But now, it’s different.

"Some things inevitably have to surface, right?"

Li Chen muttered softly, standing up.

"Boss, where are we going?"

"Let’s wander a bit." Li Chen said, striding forward, heading exactly towards the direction of the Ancient Tree Domain that previously held terrifying suppressive power!

When the three of them arrived at the Ancient Tree Domain, many people had already gathered around.

Among these people, many had watched the battle between Li Chen and the Doomsday Beast Soul.

Though because of the white light later, everyone had retreated, and Li Chen had used the Bagua Array Diagram to obscure the aura of Heaven and Earth, nobody knew the outcome of that battle.

But at this moment, many cultivators saw Li Chen appear, and couldn’t help but show subtle changes.

The aura unintentionally emitted by that shadow earlier had not only terrified Bai Shi and You Ming, but many other cultivators were scared senseless.

Here belongs to the Regretless Mountain Range Domain, where everyone’s cultivation was suppressed, yet that aura clearly was not one of the Domain Realm; how strong was that shadow?

Yet Li Chen, being the enemy, appeared here now, but that shadow disappeared; inevitably, such implications were something these people couldn’t ignore.

Even those cultivators who hadn’t seen the previous battle, upon seeing others’ dread toward Li Chen, also backed away, clearly uninterested in provoking a powerhouse without reason.

Those able to enter this place aren’t foolish, no matter their confidence, they’d never recklessly confront someone.

Li Chen stood with the other two outside the domain, looking at the towering ancient trees afar, their expressions indicating deep thoughts.

"What is that?" You Ming asked.

"I don’t know either, but that ancient tree might be one of the Seven Divine Trees," Li Chen said softly, not hiding anything from You Ming and Bai Shi.

"Seven Divine Trees?" Upon hearing the name, You Ming and Bai Shi couldn’t help but show astonishment.

Unlike Li Chen’s informal approach, they spent considerable time in the Borderland Realm, having read some ancient texts and knowing the existence of the Seven Divine Trees.

Those are of Supreme Treasure level, possibly even higher in value!

"Indeed." Looking at the ancient tree in the distance, Li Chen’s eyes became profound, and a bold idea began to form within him.
