The pressure brought by the ancient tree is indeed immense, amazingly so.

Moreover, as you get closer to the ancient tree, the pressure becomes increasingly terrifying. Li Chen is not walking very fast, but not too slow either because, to him, the few hundred steps ahead don’t feel like much pressure.

But even for him, when stepping into the realm of a thousand steps, he indeed felt some oppression.

So Li Chen temporarily stopped his footsteps.

Turning his head, Li Chen discovered that although many people had found this ancient tree, there were not many true experts who could stand in this location.

All together, there were only four or five people.

Aside from Li Chen, the other four individuals all had some degree of physical refinement cultivation, otherwise, they wouldn’t have been able to reach this place. Looking at these people, a thoughtful look appeared in Li Chen’s eyes.

Clearly, simply relying on cultivation to reach under the ancient tree is impossible.

At least, it is impossible while in the Domain Realm.

The people here, even if they can unleash combat power beyond the Domain Realm, that would just be a burst, unable to last long. Yet these people made it here, which forced Li Chen to think deeply.

Even if it’s a short burst, if someone among these people truly reaches under the ancient tree, and if they snatch the ancient tree away, wouldn’t he get nothing?

"It seems that not only do I need to reach under the ancient tree, but I also need to be the first to get there," Li Chen thought, and continued to stride forward.

The remaining few people nearby widened their eyes at the sight of Li Chen nonchalantly walking directly towards the ancient tree.

"This guy..."

"What is his physical refinement cultivation?"

"This... how is this possible, even my Great Accomplishment Vajra Body can’t achieve this!"

They had suspected Li Chen’s cultivation, but in this place, everyone’s cultivation is suppressed to the Domain Realm, which is a fixed suppression. At least for now, they haven’t seen anyone break through this suppression.

Well, anyway, they haven’t seen it.

Thus, subconsciously, they believed: No one can break the suppression of the Regretless Mountain Range.

As such, it goes without saying that Li Chen must be a Body Refinement Expert.

Of course, their guess was not wrong; Li Chen was indeed a Body Refinement Expert. Some speculated that Li Chen’s physical refinement cultivation was probably quite high, even higher than the Great Accomplishment Golden Body, but no one imagined that Li Chen’s physical refinement cultivation had already broken through to the Indestructible Body level.

What is the Indestructible Body?

It is currently known as the highest realm of body refinement, until a stronger body refiner appears, this is already the limit.

Few cultivators can hone their physical refinement to this extent. In fact, cultivators who reach top-level physical refinement are rarer than Ninth Order Experts.

Of course, this doesn’t mean top-level body refiners are stronger than Ninth Order Experts, just that top-level body refinement experts are rarer.

Moreover, the tremendous advantages that body refinement experts have are no joke.

In situations where the two sides have similar strengths, a body refinement expert can thoroughly thrash those who have not refined their bodies!

And this is also the most enviable aspect of being a body refinement expert.

Not only do body refinement experts have greater attack power than ordinary cultivators, but their defensive power is also stronger than that of typical cultivators.

And it’s not just defensive power; there’s also healing power, sustainability, and endurance!

Combining these factors, one side disregards injuries entirely, while the other must cautiously dodge and sneak attack, the difference is immediately apparent.

Those who can reach this location more or less have some physical refinement cultivation, and they understand how difficult post-Late Stage body refinement is.

This is evident from the fact that none among them has reached the Indestructible Body level.

Thinking about how Li Chen, a strong expert, is actually an Indestructible Body level expert, a group of experts couldn’t help but tremble inwardly.

They must know, during the brief clashes they witnessed earlier, they hadn’t seen Li Chen use any Indestructible Body, which means the power of this black-clothed youth likely exceeded their expectations.

Li Chen didn’t care how others thought; he continued to progress slowly yet steadily.

"This place is indeed peculiar," Li Chen contemplated, "based on the previous calculation with the Nether River Space’s black water, my current location is roughly comparable to the pressure of the second layer."

"Indeed," Primordial Heavy Water concurred, "if I’m not mistaken, if you advance roughly another hundred steps, the pressure here will reach the level of the first layer."

"The first layer, huh?" Li Chen licked his lips, remembering that reaching the second layer was his limit back then.

Primordial Heavy Water also said that with his then power, entering the first layer of black water would have turned him into a blood mist instantly, but now he had long since improved, wanting to test how much pressure the first layer had back then.

"Do you really want to try? Move forward a hundred steps; that should be about the first layer, but even after that, you’d still be around a hundred steps away from that place," Primordial Heavy Water reminded.

Advancing a hundred steps would be nearly the same as the first layer of the Nether River black water back then; if he continued a hundred more steps, even Primordial Heavy Water couldn’t predict how terrifying the pressure would be.

"Without pressure, there’s no motivation, I’ve been stuck in the Domain Realm for a long time," Li Chen said casually.

Previously, Li Chen hadn’t revealed his thoughts, but with this statement, several Supreme Treasures finally understood Li Chen’s intention.

However, this idea had to be said to be quite insane.

Could it be that he wants to break through to the Soul Realm here?

Even for beings of such Supreme Treasure level, upon hearing Li Chen’s intentions, they thought Li Chen was mad.

Yet after a moment of silence, the Supreme Treasures said nothing.

Ever since they met this guy, he seemed to always possess this kind of personality.

A madman!

However, there’s a saying: "Without madness, there’s no life."

They knew that after seeing the two experts earlier, Li Chen already began feeling a sense of urgency, which was the key to his desire to descend into madness.

Time waits for no one; if he doesn’t hurry, he might soon be devoured by unknown entities down to his bones.

Even Supreme Treasures are not omnipotent, sometimes the gap in strength is too vast, even Supreme Treasures can’t compensate.

"Go!" Looking at the ancient tree now faintly visible ahead, Li Chen’s expression became calm once more, but in his eyes, a flame began to flicker, emitting a muffled sound as he stepped forward again.
