Soul Realm.

For countless powerful beings, it is the realm they dream of achieving.

In many places across the Four Great Realms, even Domain Realm Experts are what many aspire to become, because only beings of this level are worthy of being called strong. And below the Domain Realm, in the eyes of many powerful cultivators, they are no different from ants.

Because, once someone enters the Domain Realm, those cultivators appear no different from ordinary mortals, easily extinguished with a wave of the hand.

It is the Domain Realm that forms the true threshold for the powerful.

Above the Domain Realm is the Soul Realm!

Each Soul Realm expert can truly be regarded as a formidable existence. Regardless of the realm, the presence of a Soul Realm expert is enough to intimidate countless people. To some Earth-level cultivators, Soul Realm experts are nothing less than legendary beings.

Of course, this also depends on one’s perspective; differing views lead to different angles of understanding.

Just like when Li Chen was still on Earth, many Earth-level Experts believed that the Heavenly Level was the limit, and each Heaven-level Expert was seen as an immensely powerful being capable of destroying the heavens and the earth.

This is a misconception.

However, speaking of Soul Realm experts themselves, they indeed possess enough qualification to be considered legendary beings.

Similarly, they can indeed destroy the heavens and the earth if they wish.

Only upon reaching the Soul Realm can one truly explore the starry skies solo.

This doesn’t mean those already explored and known starry skies, but the secret places in the universe, dark places without people, unknown places.

Although the Four Great Realms occupy a vast area of the starry universe, it does not encompass everything.

Because the starry universe is incredibly vast, not even people during the Seven Realms’ peak era dared claim they could explore the entire boundless universe. The mysterious starry universe contains too many unknowns.

Therefore, during the era of the Seven Realms, the Soul Realm had another name.

Explorer!

"Boom!!"

Li Chen’s body surged with Qi-blood as immense terrifying power began to impact the threshold of the Soul Realm, even his rock-like figure began to tremble violently.

Yet, Li Chen’s expression remained unchanged, as if it was the entire space shaking instead of him.

At the same time, Li Chen’s towering vital essence soared straight into the sky, raging energies ran rampant between Heaven and Earth.

"What... what is he doing?"

Some powerful figures faintly sensed an unusual flavor from Li Chen’s actions.

"Is he... is he planning to break through the realm here?! Is he insane, or are we insane?!"

A group of powerful figures showed shocked expressions in unison.

Breaking through a realm here is unheard of, let alone seen, utterly unbelievable and unimaginable.

Because the pressure here is too immense, even those yet to reach the Kuotian Realm as heavenly kings wouldn’t choose to break through in such a place, as the suppression from Heaven and Earth would exponentially increase the difficulty of their breakthrough. If they fail, their cultivation could be ruined, and no one desires to take such a risk.

But today, someone did precisely that.

And the person doing it is not only a madman but a shockingly powerful being!

"Come on!"

At this moment, Li Chen let out a long roar towards the sky, suddenly stood up, Qi-blood surged to the heavens.

No longer suppressed by the ancient tree, Li Chen was free of all restrictions, carrying furious energies as he charged directly towards the sky where the thunderclouds had begun to gather.

"Break!!"

The intertwined laws formed a dense cluster, carrying Li Chen’s raging Yuan Force, transforming into a peerless piercing spear directly penetrating the last gateway to the Soul Realm.

"Boom!!!"

A deafening roar echoed between Heaven and Earth, resonating not only inside Li Chen but as if the heavens themselves were resonating with him.

At the same moment, the aura of the Soul Realm began to emanate from Li Chen.

But before this aura could take form, the thunderclouds in the sky condensed in a blink.

As the thunderclouds converged, Heaven and Earth fell silent.

In this ancient tree domain, in the entire second layer of this Little Secret Realm, a vast area was enveloped by these terrifying thunderclouds.

All cultivators under the thundercloud’s shroud turned pale, trembling with fear, not daring to breathe heavily.

Among them were strong experts who had experienced a Soul Tribulation, yet even the Purgatory Demon Lord, mightiest among them, hadn’t felt such terrifying thunder tribulation aura during his last Purgatory Demon Tribulation.

Daoist Lords face a Dao Lord Golden Tribulation, and the Purgatory Demon Lord has his own Purgatory Demon Tribulation.

Even the other Two Great Realms have their own tribulations.

Among Heaven Realm’s martial artists, Ascended Heaven Realm Heavenly Lords are said to endure the Luo Heavenly Lord Tribulation!

But at this moment, not even the Heavenly Lord from the Ascended Heaven Realm would dare claim that his Luo Heavenly Lord Tribulation aura is stronger than this terrifying thunder tribulation before them.

This is merely Li Chen’s thunder tribulation for breaking through to the Soul Realm, but in this instant, no one believes Li Chen is only breaking through to the Soul Realm.

"Is this... Palm Realm Thunder Tribulation?" A strong expert couldn’t help but tremble in spirit, fearfully muttered.

"No! Impossible, if he were breaking through to the Palm Realm expert, the thunder tribulation wouldn’t be like this!" Immediately, knowledgeable experts shook their heads denying this idea.

Soon, someone caught the scent of Soul Tribulation aura within the thunderstorm.

"This... this is impossible!" The expert who sensed the aura shouted in disbelief: "He isn’t breaking into the Palm Realm, nor even the Ninth Order; it’s merely the thunder tribulation for breaking into the Soul Realm, this... how can this be?!"

"Thunder tribulation for the Soul Realm?!"

Many people gasped upon hearing this.

So, this previously deemed supreme terrifying expert was just at the Domain Realm?

A Domain Realm, strong enough to this extent?

And, most defying of fate, this individual dared to break into the Soul Realm in such a place?

Witnessing the terrifying endless thunderclouds in the sky, many couldn’t speak.

Faced with such a situation, they indeed knew not what words to describe their current feelings.

At this moment, the originally vast thundercloud began to contract.

Though the thundercloud shrank, its aura didn’t weaken; rather, that dangerous aura became more dense, while Li Chen couldn’t help but squint his eyes at this moment.

"You cursed heavens, I knew you’ve always disliked me, trying to kill me in one fell swoop after enduring for so long?" Li Chen sneered coldly.

"But I will not let your wish prevail!"

With a long laugh, Li Chen didn’t passively endure the tribulation but actively charged towards those pitch-black thunderclouds!

This astonishing scene left countless people petrified, stuck in their tracks.

At that moment, two adjectives naturally formed in everyone’s minds.

Madman! Maniac!
