Chapter 2167: Chapter 2135: Original Intent, True Heart, and Obsession

Martial Artists, or cultivators, have several realm divisions in their battles.

It’s not about each individual’s cultivation strength, but rather the level of battle serving as the division.

The First Layer, also the simplest low-level cultivator battle, often involves both sides being relatively weak, making it hard to gain an overwhelming advantage. Hence, even if there is a gap between the two sides, it often takes a long time to conclude the battle, especially for those who have just barely ’entered the realm’.

Therefore, in some Lower Realm Planes, rumors often circulate of experts battling for days and nights.

This is not a legend but rather a result of the two sides having little disparity in strength. Even if there are slight flaws, they are insignificant, leading to long battles until both sides are exhausted. In the end, the one still standing is the one who laughs last.

And as cultivators’ cultivation improves, these battles often upgrade to another realm.

Most people refer to this type of battle as ’invincible’.

Why is it called this? Because in battles at this higher level, both sides must maintain a flawless state, achieving ’invincibility’.

Because, if a flaw accidentally appears, the opponent might immediately seize it and strike you down.

The cultivators at this level are the most numerous.

From the entering realm Martial Artists of the Lower Realm to the High Grade cultivators of the Four Great Realms, it’s the same.

In battle, no one can afford a single mistake.

If an enemy catches this flaw, what awaits you might be a total defeat.

Especially in a clash of Divine Skills, this is even more so.

And if there are no flaws, then both sides will try every means to find flaws in the other, even if there are none, creating them.

This leads to battles of this level, where the outcome is often decided in just a moment.

When that moment arrives, that’s when the result appears.

In battles at this level, often only a few moves are exchanged, as a few simple ultimate moves are sufficient to decide the entire outcome.

Behemoth’s failure wasn’t because he wasn’t strong enough.

He was very powerful, even if it was just an alter ego, he was still stronger than Li Chen at present.

Even significantly stronger.

His defeat was simply because he was too arrogant.

Or rather, even he could not have imagined that on Li Chen’s person there would be something as cheat-like as the Innate Divine Demonic Power of Locking Heaven and Earth.

If he had known, even if realizing such Divine Skills couldn’t be defended against, he would have been more vigilant and taken measures, rather than such a careless thought leading directly to defeat.

This is the battle at this level.

No matter that his cultivation was stronger than Li Chen’s, just one mistake was enough to be lethal!

A blade light flashed past, directly tearing open Ling Canghai’s body, even cutting down Ling Canghai’s divine soul.

What Behemoth attached to Ling Canghai was merely a wisp of soul, without any power. It borrowed Ling Canghai’s power, and such a realm-crossing exertion had already exhausted Ling Canghai completely, leaving him powerless to resist Li Chen’s blade light, and he was just cut down like that.

From start to finish, Li Chen never looked at Ling Canghai again.

In his heart, Ling Canghai was already a dead man.

This was determined from the moment Ling Canghai appeared before him.

Li Chen struggled and fought for so many years, and so did Ling Canghai. This old grudge finally ended today, once and for all.

At this moment, the young man and the Blood Ox also appeared before Li Chen.

Looking at Li Chen, the young man softly said, "You were too risky before."

"I know." Li Chen nodded. "I just don’t want to forget. Cultivating to this day, if I even forget and lose my original intention, then a person lost in confusion cannot go very far."

The young man sighed softly and nodded.

Even he had to admit that Li Chen was right.

Although in his eyes Li Chen’s cultivation was not very high, his understanding of the Dao seemed to have reached a profound level.

This was more or less related to listening to the Bright Dream Dharma Talk during that dream of eternity on the Three Births River.

Original intention, true self, obsession.

The most fundamental belief of a cultivator and the most basic Dao Heart of a cultivator.

"Elder, next, are you planning to continue staying here?" Li Chen asked.

Li Chen’s ’here’ had many implications.

But the young man gently shook his head; he knew what Li Chen meant.

"I am leaving." The young man said softly, "Taking the old master’s Treasure Pagoda, and leaving. As for this realm, let it continue to exist here, after all, this was a world the old man created."

"As for the Star Continent you mentioned, I won’t stay there either. I plan to go deep into the Starry Universe, searching for opportunities and seeing if there’s a breakthrough. With my current realm and strength, dealing with small fry is indeed more than enough, but to avenge the old master and face those Dao Saint level monsters, I am still far from enough." The young man said.

Li Chen silently nodded.

At the same time, he also learned some information about the Palm Realm from the young man.

After reaching the Palm Realm, each level has vast differences, and it can even be said that although the Palm Realm has only three great realms, these three great realms are insurmountable.

"I am just an Ancient Ancestor, also known as Earth Realm. Regarding this realm, I cannot guide you much because the path to the Palm Realm is different for everyone. What I can give you are just some experiences." The young man pointed at Li Chen’s brow, transferring an insight about the Heaven and Earth Realm into Li Chen’s mind.

"With your potential, I think it’s only a matter of time for you to enter the True Realm. After entering the True Realm, take your time to comprehend these. However, remember not to be overly immersed in these insights, as I said before, every Palm Realm powerhouse’s path is different, and I don’t want you to follow my path as it would limit your future prospects." The young man said.

"Thank you, elder." Li Chen earnestly bowed to the young man.

Such insights, though not an inheritance, are even more critical for Li Chen now!

As a cultivator emerging from a rough path, what Li Chen lacks most is guidance and help from predecessors.

"So, next, there are only two things left."

Li Chen’s eyes slightly condensed.

The last two things, one is to stabilize the Palace of the Nether King.

Originally there was only this one thing, but now, there is one more.

To capture all the Era-Ancient Civilization powerhouses who entered the Sea Edge Realm...!
