Chapter 2330: Chapter 2298: Mastering... Yuan
In the starry universe without any sky-obscuring powerhouse, the Dao Saint represents absolute power.
The only one who can match a Dao Saint is another Dao Saint.
No exceptions.
Even if the Ancient Ancestor is powerful, there is no way to resist a Dao Saint.
This is the truth that has persisted since the starry universe was born, continuing from the era of the Innate Gods and Demons to today.
No one has ever been able to break this absolute truth.
Even the most unparalleled Supreme of the past, when still an Earth Realm Ancient Ancestor, could not match even the weakest newly promoted Dao Saint.
The Saintly Way Realm is known as the Palm Source.
And these two words can be analyzed from the simplest literal meaning, Palm Source, grasping the Source of the Universe.
Which universe? Of course, the starry universe!
Reaching this grade, one has truly touched the power at the source of the starry universe.
And how terrifying is the power of the starry universe?
A very simple calculation can be made.
In the starry universe, whether it’s a Dao Saint, an Ancient Ancestor, or countless cultivators, their power all comes from the starry universe.
Yet even with so many powerhouses, the starry universe continuously offers spiritual energy for new powerhouses to be born.
In other words, the Origin Power of the starry universe completely surpasses the total sum of everyone within the entire universe?
How terrifying is that power?
And this terrifying power can be wielded by a Dao Saint of the Palm Source Realm.
Although it’s only a portion, that part is still terrifying beyond the Ancient Ancestor’s imagination.
And Li Chen’s universe, even if it’s of the same rank as the starry universe, is after all just a newly born minor universe, and compared to the starry universe, it’s like a newborn ordinary human infant compared to an adult starry sky behemoth.
The gap between the two is completely incalculable.
This is also why, even Li Chen’s True Universe was cracked with a single slap.
The Dao Saint is too powerful.
"Mom." Li Chen turned and transmitted sound to Ye Zhiqiu: "You’re not in good shape right now, go directly to the exit of the Heaven Extinguishing Palace, Li Changcun is waiting for you there. I’ll hold him off and will catch up soon."
"You’ll hold him off? He’s a Dao Saint!" Ye Zhiqiu frowned tightly.
It’s important to know, in truth, she is the first Palm Realm powerhouse of the Li Family. As the Ancient Ancestor Snow Maple who has survived since the era of the Seven Realms, her knowledge far exceeds that of Li Chen and his father combined; clearly, Li Chen couldn’t fool her.
"Mom, trust me, I really have the confidence to hold him off." Li Chen didn’t dare to scold his mother, who had suffered for hundreds of years for the family, so he gently comforted her: "If you’ve heard of your son’s reputation, you’d know I’m someone who only does things with certainty. Only if you leave with Li Changcun now can I be confident of escaping alone."
Ye Zhiqiu wanted to say something else but knew the situation was urgent; she couldn’t help anyway by staying, so she reluctantly nodded: "Then... be careful yourself."
Actually, she believed only because she saw Li Chen block that attack from the Dao Saint descending from heaven; otherwise, she wouldn’t have left for anything.
But it was clear she didn’t realize the cost Li Chen paid to block that strike.
"Have you arranged your last affairs?"
Watching Ye Zhiqiu leave, the figure in the sky didn’t stop but spoke calmly.
Li Chen sneered at the words: "Compared to you old monsters, I’m still young and not planning to arrange any last affairs."
"Do you think blocking one of my strikes means you can really escape from a Dao Saint’s hands?" Shang spoke quietly in the sky.
He wasn’t making a show of force or pretending; as a Dao Saint, the peak combat power of the starry universe, he indeed had the right to speak so.
Li Chen showed a look of disappointment: "It seems, just as that guy said, you indeed are no longer a Dao Saint of the starry universe, but have become a monster."
Initially, Li Chen still held a glimmer of hope.
Even if one is eroded by the Doomsday Beast Soul, exceptions exist.
Zhang Lu and Zhang Shutong were such exceptions back then; originally, Li Chen thought that as a Dao Saint, Shang might preserve some of his consciousness too. But clearly, he was disappointed. "What is a monster?" Shang’s expression didn’t change at Li Chen’s words: "To the universe, you cultivators are growing in number, constantly draining the universe’s Origin Power, making the universe weaker and weaker, while you become stronger and stronger using the universe’s decline."
"When you cultivators increase to a limit, the starry universe will eventually no longer support it, being drained and destroyed by you. The so-called World-Destroying Beast is just your term. In your civilization, even more ancient than those so-called Era-Ancient civilizations, its name was... Origin Beast."
"It is the origin of the universe, also its end, protecting the universe from being destroyed by excessive exploitation. It lives and dies, in reality, two-in-one with the universe."
Shang summarized with emotionless eyes: "And you, are the monsters destroying the universe."
Li Chen pressed his lips together, at this moment not knowing how to refute.
"To the universe, you are the monsters, the parasites, and the souls born from us Origin Beasts are just cleaners to remove obstacles. Only by clearing away you garbage and monsters can the universe’s order re-balance."
"I don’t care about your order!" Li Chen’s whole body surged with vigor: "I’m no saint or great man, nor do I want to argue about grand righteousness with you; even if the universe is destroyed, it doesn’t concern me. All I want is to live well with my family."
"Whoever blocks my goal, whether a cleaner or Origin Beast, I have only one thing to say: fight only!"
Shang’s eyes flickered slightly, then calmed again.
Nodding, he softly said: "Since your death wish is so strong, then I shall fulfill it."
"Origin Force." Shang lightly pinched his fingers.
From all around the space, countless rays of light quickly converged.
This is a kind of advanced power that even Li Chen has never encountered.
Li Chen understood; this is likely the core power of the starry universe!
Starry Source!
And this power is the origin of all laws in the starry universe.
In other words, though this is not a law, it fears no law power.
It has no weaknesses, and no power can counter it!
As Shang stretched out his hand in a light gesture, the Origin Force turned into two enormous fingers like Divine Mountains, pointing at Li Chen.
The space did not shatter, and even the vigor stirred was quite faint.
Yet as the fingers neared, Li Chen’s pupils suddenly constricted, and all his hair stood on end instantly.
At the moment the fingers pointed, eight words abruptly emerged in his heart:
"No escape route, certain death!"
