Li Chen once again appeared in everyone’s line of sight.

For Li Chen, since the threat from that stalker in the rear had already been removed, he no longer needed to worry about Tian Yi’s safety.

To be honest, as for Tian Yi’s strength, Li Chen was quite at ease, one could even say he trusted her more than he trusted anyone else.

Because in this damned place, everyone’s Cultivation had been suppressed—everyone except Tian Yi!

Moreover, Li Chen also knew that once Tian Yi really went berserk, the degree of terror she unleashed would probably exceed anyone’s imagination.

Only those Ancient Elder and powerful existences knew of Tian Yi’s existence and would set their sights on her.

That Ghost Race expert was probably one of them.

But it seemed that due to some kind of misgiving, that Ghost Race expert had chosen to give up.

Although Li Chen didn’t know the specific reason, he vaguely guessed that all of this might be related to the Heavenly Dao.

After all, no matter what, the Heavenly Dao had once been the Supreme of the Supreme Asura Realm, and was perhaps also the strongest among the Seven Realms.

Before such an existence, even if it had already disappeared, anyone—especially those Ancient Elder beings—would still have to show some respect.

"This Ancient Battle Realm..."

Walking along the roadside, Li Chen fell slightly silent.

In fact, ever since he set foot on this ancient continent, Li Chen had been harboring suspicions.

Legend said that among the Seven Realms, three Realms had been completely shattered, and the Supreme Asura Realm had been split apart to become the current Heaven Realm. But that was only legend; as for the true ending, there was no record at all.

His previous "Eternity Dream" had only shown him some rough fragments; he hadn’t seen the detailed conclusion.

So, had those three Realms really completely collapsed?

And what exactly was this Ancient Battle Realm?

Li Chen even suspected that the Ancient Battle Realm might be one of the Realms that legends claimed had already collapsed back then, or perhaps it was formed from fragments of the three shattered Realms.

Because a landmass like this was simply too vast—so vast that it was in no way inferior to a piece of the Great Realms. 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

If such a continent had existed in the Ancient Times, then it shouldn’t have been merely Seven Realms at all; such a landmass would fully qualify to be called the Eighth Realm!

Li Chen’s suspicion was not without basis.

After all, only when the Ancient Era ended did people discover such a continent, and the Four Emperors had also vanished here; nobody knew what had happened to them in the end.

Perhaps, only such a conjecture was the most reasonable.

"Hm?"

Just as Li Chen was lost in thought, a great commotion came from somewhere not far ahead of him.

As if some prehistoric behemoth had appeared.

And with one glance from his Eye of the Dao, Li Chen saw a group of cultivators straining with all their might to resist something.

With doubts in his heart, Li Chen slowly approached.

From a distance, Li Chen hadn’t felt anything unusual, but once he drew closer, he abruptly discovered that there seemed to be an invisible Domain ahead. The moment he stepped into this Domain, a terrifying and boundless pressure suddenly descended from the heavens, slamming heavily onto his shoulders.

"Crack!"

Li Chen’s feet instantly sank into the ground, and even the bones all over his body gave off crisp cracking sounds.

Even Li Chen’s body, with his level of Cultivation, ended up like this, let alone anyone else.

Li Chen saw that not far from him, there were many Blood Stains splattered across the ground.

Obviously, these people had been unable to withstand this enormous pressure and had been crushed into a pool of filthy blood the instant they came in.

Among those who could enter this place, there were indeed quite a few experts; even facing that enormous pressure, they barely managed to hold on. And Li Chen saw that many of them were still constantly moving forward.

Only after stepping into this space did Li Chen see, in the distance ahead, an old tree that wasn’t particularly eye-catching.

The Ancient Tree looked extremely simple and unadorned, but the Vital Energy emanating from its entire body was enough to shake heaven and earth.

He slightly relaxed his perception, and even Li Chen couldn’t help but reveal a look of shock in his eyes.

Because he discovered that this pressure wasn’t actually pressure at all, but rather Heaven and Earth Essence so dense it was beyond description!

Just by relaxing his senses for a short while, Li Chen felt that the Heaven and Earth Essence rushing into his body was about to burst him apart.

One had to know that although Li Chen’s Cultivation was still at the Kuotian Realm, in terms of how deep and thick his Yuan Force was, he was in no way inferior to an ordinary Soul Realm expert.

Yet even so, in just this short moment, Li Chen felt as if he were about to be blown up from within.

If not for the fact that the space here was special, as if it had been imprisoned, preventing the Heaven and Earth Essence from leaking out, Li Chen even felt that with the density of Heaven and Earth Essence here, it would be more than enough to sustain cultivators on several planets!

Heaven and Earth Essence was the essence formed when the Spiritual Energy between heaven and earth was condensed to the extreme.

Generally speaking, only in some spirit-rich, precious lands would a small amount appear. In all his Cultivation up to now, Li Chen had only encountered Heaven and Earth Essence a handful of times.

Once was on the Hundred Clans Battlefield of the Tian Shang Star Continent, and another time was with the Mo clan.

But regardless of the place, none of them could compare to the Heaven and Earth Essence here.

Because the density of Heaven and Earth Essence here had already reached the point where it could literally crush cultivators to death. Just how dense was that?

What shocked Li Chen even more was that the closer one got to that old tree, the denser the surrounding Heaven and Earth Essence became.

These cultivators had also guessed that this terrifying Heaven and Earth Essence likely originated from that Ancient Tree.

From this, a very simple conclusion could be drawn.

That Ancient Tree was absolutely a Top Level Treasure!!

"No wonder they’re all throwing their lives away for it." Looking at the few cultivators struggling forward in front, Li Chen could only give a wry smile and shake his head.

Cultivation Resources were a problem that cultivators could never avoid.

If one could keep such terrifying Heaven and Earth Essence by one’s side forever, what kind of Cultivation Speed would that be?

Even Li Chen couldn’t help feeling his heart race a little.

"That’s a good thing." Even the Two-Yi Yin Yang Mirror couldn’t help but speak at this moment: "I feel that if you can obtain this tree, all the wounds and losses we’ve accumulated over the years can be completely replenished, allowing us to return to our Peak state."

"Even you guys want it?" Li Chen’s eyes narrowed slightly. Without a doubt, anything that could stir even the Supreme Treasures was definitely a Treasure that could pierce the heavens.

"Can you see this Ancient Tree’s origin?"

"We can’t." Inside Li Chen’s body, the several Supreme Treasures discussed it for a while, then all said that they had never seen such an Ancient Tree before.

"Perhaps, I might know." The Three Lives Everything Armor hesitated for a moment before its clear, light voice finally sounded slowly.

"Old Third, you can recognize it?" The Primordial Heavy Water couldn’t help but ask, since even she had never seen such an Ancient Tree.

"I can’t be sure either." The Three Lives Everything Armor paused, then said, "It’s just a suspicion. My main body can gestate all living beings, but an existence like this is absolutely impossible for me to gestate. Because it is very likely on the same Grade as us."

"On the same Grade as a Supreme Treasure?"

Li Chen’s expression shifted slightly, because the amount of information contained in that one sentence from the Three Lives Everything Armor was no small thing.
