Apocalypse: The Primordial Pearl Recognizes Its Master, Starting with Infinite Space

Lin Chen's gaze fell on Li Zu, his brows furrowing slightly. He felt that this person was somewhat dangerous.

That was a sense of oppression he had never felt from any of the other progenitors.

Immediately afterward, the Ten Ancestors appeared not far away. Before he could react, the Dark Ancestor had already made his move.

Her figure silently emerged from the shadows, appearing behind Lin Chen. A sharp dagger pierced straight into his back, her attack relentless, a thin, dark light flashing as it aimed directly at his vitals.

Lin Chen dodged to the side, then turned and punched Dark Ancestor, forcing him back.

This wasn't the first time he'd been ambushed by the Dark Ancestor; these tricks couldn't hurt him.

But from Li Zu's perspective, this one action perfectly conveyed a complete implication: the person fighting with An Zu was a powerful being from beyond the realm.

Li Zu had never seen a true extraterrestrial powerhouse, nor had he ever seen the so-called human race.

In his eyes, the two people in front of him were unfamiliar faces. Since the Dark Ancestor attacked first, he naturally assumed that the person being attacked was the target.

And coincidentally, Lin Chen gave him the feeling that he was more dangerous than the real extraterrestrial powerhouse next to him.

Without hesitation or questioning, Li Zu stepped across the gap in the center of the battlefield and threw a punch at Lin Chen's face.

The corners of the mouths of the extraterrestrial powerhouse and the Dark Ancestor both curled up slightly. The two exchanged a very brief glance across the battlefield before looking away.

Li Zu's punch had no fluctuations of laws, only pure power, carrying a world-destroying momentum, and completely locked onto Lin Chen.

Lin Chen's expression turned serious. He immediately gathered all his strength into his right arm and threw a punch to meet the attack.

The two fists collided, and a muffled explosion erupted, causing the surrounding space to crack like a spiderweb.

Li Zu staggered back three or four steps, cracking the ground behind him.

Lin Chen's figure flew backward more than ten steps, and the sleeve of his right arm was shattered by the impact.

"Not bad!" Li Zu's eyes lit up, filled with the excitement of seeing a prey, and he quickly charged forward again.

Lin Chen shook his numb arm. Since reaching the tenth level, this was the first time he had truly felt the presence of a formidable opponent.

Every punch from the Power Ancestor carried the power to shatter everything. With the blessing of the Law of Power, it truly exemplified what it means to break through all laws with one force.

Lin Chen's time law was directly shattered, and the lightning that struck Li Zu was like electrotherapy, unable to cause him any harm.

He can only rely on the laws of space for maneuver and the powerful self-healing ability of the laws of flesh and blood to maneuver.

As the clashes continued, Lin Chen became excited; such a rare opponent was the best way to hone his skills.

Meanwhile, Li Zu was increasingly surprised as the fight progressed. Others might not know, but he himself was very clear: although his cultivation level was still at the tenth rank, his physical body had already reached the eleventh rank.

That was a body-refining technique left to him by another powerful being from beyond the realm, "Jingyu," six hundred million years ago. Through hundreds of millions of years of arduous cultivation, he broke through the limitations of this universe and refined his physical body to the eleventh level.

The aftershocks of their battle instantly reduced this "godly camp" to ruins, revealing its true nature: it was no godly camp at all, but merely a lush forest.

Not far away, Dark Ancestor had already returned to the side of Devouring Ancestor and the others.

The Devouring Ancestor hesitated for a moment and whispered, "Isn't our boss here to deal with the extraterrestrial powerhouses? What will happen if he finds out you're leading him to target Lin Chen?"

Dark Ancestor shrugged indifferently: "I didn't say that person was an extraterrestrial powerhouse. It was Boss who charged in himself."

She gestured towards the real extraterrestrial powerhouse: "Besides, isn't the real extraterrestrial powerhouse right there? How did I lie to him? I just didn't like Lin Chen and couldn't help but make the first move."

Kong Zu and the others exchanged bewildered glances. Kong Zu spoke first: "Then what do we do? Just watch?"

The Devouring Ancestor immediately shook his head: "No. We must stop the powerful beings from beyond the realm. If the boss discovers something is wrong and they escape, we can't afford to bear the boss's wrath."

Without waiting for anyone else to speak, he charged towards the powerful figure from beyond the realm who was quietly retreating.

Kong Zu and the others exchanged glances, sighed, and followed.

Anzu's heart jumped. What was going on? He mustn't have gotten himself into trouble with this guy.

Just because Lin Chen could hold off seven of them doesn't mean this person can too.

The powerful figure from beyond the realm was also frustrated. He had originally come to divert trouble elsewhere, but how did the trouble end up on him?

As he retreated, he telepathically transmitted to Dark Ancestor: "Stop them quickly, or I'll expose you!"

Dark Ancestor hurriedly replied, "We can't stop them. Unless you stay here, I can't persuade them not to attack you."

The powerful figure from beyond the realm paused for a moment, then stopped retreating after a moment of contemplation.

Dark Ancestor breathed a sigh of relief and immediately sent a telepathic message to Devouring Ancestor and the others.

Seeing this, the Devouring Ancestor and the others, with the Dark Ancestor mediating, simply surrounded the powerful beings from beyond the realm and ceased their attacks.

Everyone turned their attention to the two people still clashing in the distance.

The Illusion Ancestor and the Death Ancestor, who were in the distance, had seen everything that was happening.

The Illusion Ancestor turned his head to look at the Death Progenitor: "Ninth Brother, have you figured it out yet?"

The Progenitor of Death turned his head: "Of course I saw it. I just don't like to talk, I'm not stupid."

Huan Zu rolled his eyes: "Then tell me, what did you figure out?"

The Progenitor of Death succinctly stated: "Fifth Sister used Eldest Sister; she has already colluded with that person from beyond the realm."

Huan Zu's eyes lit up: "Not bad, Ninth Brother. Your IQ has increased quite a bit since you started working with me."

The Progenitor of Death turned his head to one side, too lazy to pay her any attention.

Huan Zu didn't care and turned his gaze back to the battlefield: "The eldest is good in every way, except that he doesn't care about anything when he gets into a fight. It's a pity that the seventh sister isn't here. At this time, she's the only one who can stop him."

The Progenitor of Death replied, "Speak less, watch the show."

As expected, Huan Zu did not speak again.

The battlefield had risen high into the sky, and the two figures collided repeatedly amidst the shattered starlight.

Lin Chen gradually adapted to the rhythm of Li Zu's attacks, using the law of time to block and the law of space to dodge, turning a unequal battle into a draw.

Li Zu grew increasingly excited as the fight progressed, a broad smile spreading across his face as he delivered a powerful punch: "You brat from beyond the realm, not bad. I, with my eleventh-tier physical body, can only manage a draw with you. Even Jing Yu back then might not have been able to achieve this."

Lin Chen dodged the punch, his brow furrowing slightly: "What kind of extraterrestrial expert?"

Li Zu's attack paused slightly, his fist hovering in mid-air: "Aren't you that one from beyond the realm?"

Lin Chen shook his head: "Of course not. I am a native of this universe."

Li Zu frowned slightly, his gaze sweeping over the extraterrestrial powerhouses surrounded by the Devouring Ancestor and others before returning to Lin Chen, his eyes narrowing slightly.

He instantly understood the key to it, and a sense of disappointment arose in his heart.

He withdrew his gaze and looked back at Lin Chen: "Then you must be the human kid who beat the second brother and the others black and blue?"

Lin Chen nodded: "It's me. You want to avenge them?"

Li Zu shook his head: "As long as you don't kill them, beat them up however you want. I didn't agree with their actions in the first place, but I couldn't persuade them otherwise. Consider today's match a friendly sparring session."

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen immediately recalled what the prophet had said: the progenitors of the gods were not a monolithic group; there were indeed ideological differences among them.

"What if I kill them?"
