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

The battle between Lin Chen and Cang Ming has become completely one-sided.

Although Cangming's combat skills were superior to Lin Chen's and his movement techniques were more agile, the gap in their understanding of the laws was simply too great.

He cultivated the Dao Fruit of the Fire Law, but the law's grade was ordinary and its application was not profound. Faced with Lin Chen's repeated suppression of multiple laws, he had no room to fight back and was even more embarrassed than when he fought against the Power Ancestor.

"Judging by your strength, you must be at the bottom of your own world, right?" Lin Chen asked, unable to help but ask after forcing Cangming back with a punch, because the other party's strength was really too ordinary.

But those words seemed to strike Cangming where it hurt the most.

He froze, his expression changed instantly, and even his breathing became a beat off.

He immediately raised his voice, his tone noticeably weak: "You country bumpkin, what nonsense are you spouting? I am one of the geniuses of the Yuanxu Universe!"

While saying this, he intensified his attack with his hands, as if he wanted to use his actions to make up for the confidence behind his previous words.

Unfortunately, Lin Chen simply used the Law of Time to easily resolve the issue.

Cangming felt bitter; the other party's laws were far superior to his own.

He felt that even if he were at his peak, he might not be able to gain the upper hand, let alone now that he was in someone else's home universe, his strength was suppressed to a great extent, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't achieve the effect he wanted.

Cangming tried to change his tactics and speed up the pace, attempting to find a breakthrough, but each time his efforts were wiped out by the laws of time.

His breathing became erratic, shifting from hesitation to impatience, revealing more weaknesses, and his movements were no longer as precise as before.

Lin Chen's strength was much greater than last time, and his movement techniques and combat skills were completely ineffective against the opponent's multiple laws of power.

But you can't stop talking, or you'll really have nothing left.

This time, Lin Chen finally managed to pry some information out of Cang Ming, about a place called "Yuanxu Universe".

But no matter how many details they wanted to reveal, the other party refused to disclose them.

Lin Chen's gaze turned cold, and he no longer held back. Nine clones appeared simultaneously, the Time Dao Fruit was activated to its limit, and the Dark Divine Thunder Array, which had not been used for a long time, was also activated at the same moment.

Cangming's pupils shrank suddenly. He found himself as if he had been trapped in an invisible swamp, and his movements became slow and sluggish.

Five elements of divine lightning rained down on his head one after another, endlessly layering upon layer, as if trying to refine him alive.

He quickly summoned the Boundary-Breaking Pearl and placed it above his head, barely managing to hold on. Most of the lightning was deflected by the pearl, but its residual power still caused his blood and qi to surge.

He didn't know how long his divine power could last, and finally looked up at Lin Chen, his eyes filled with barely concealed terror: "Boy, let me go! Otherwise, I'll make you wish you were dead!"

Lin Chen put his hands behind his back and looked down at him: "Still being stubborn. I think you're the one who'll die a horrible death."

The light within the lightning array did not diminish, nor did he show any sign of stopping.

Cangming was trapped in the center, unable to move, and could only watch the lightning bolts falling from above. He knew that Lin Chen was waiting for him to give in first, or waiting for him to completely give up.

He was sweating profusely and did not beg for mercy again.

Scorch marks began to appear on the edges of Cangming's robes. He looked up at the light of the Boundary-Breaking Pearl, which had dimmed slightly.

Cangming cried out again, "You country bumpkin, you can't kill me! If I die here, my master will find out. When he comes seeking revenge, this world will be awash in blood!"

His voice was trembling slightly, as if he was betting that Lin Chen would be wary of this threat.

Lin Chen looked at him, her brows furrowed slightly, but she didn't loosen her grip in the slightest.

The lightning in the lightning array continued to fall, and the Boundary-Breaking Pearl above Cangming's head dimmed a little more.

Seeing this scene from afar, Li Zu, Devouring Ancestor, and others gasped in astonishment, never expecting Lin Chen to have such a trick up his sleeve.

Looking at the dense array of Five Elements Divine Lightning, if it were to strike them, it would probably turn them to ashes.

Lei Zu, in particular, looked at the endless stream of divine lightning with such envy that his eyes turned red.

Kongzu, Guangzu, Anzu, and the others also looked grim, sighing inwardly, "It seems there is truly no hope of revenge."

Poison Ancestor's expression was the calmest. After being brutally beaten last time, he no longer thought about going against Lin Chen.

He listened to Li Zu's words and stopped resisting, only wanting to peacefully protect his last piece of property.

Lin Chen looked at Cang Ming, whose face was pale, and the coldness in his eyes grew stronger.

The other party's stubbornness ignited his anger; such a person would only cause trouble if left alive and had to be eliminated.

Cangming glared venomously at Lin Chen, gritting his teeth as he said, "You country bumpkin, you forced me into this. I'll make you wish you were dead sooner or later, and I won't let any of the people around you go."

He held a round bead in his hand, staring at it with a ferocious expression, as if he were heartbroken at the impending loss of this treasure.

"You forced me to use the teleportation orb. Do you know how much I lost?" His voice had changed.

Seeing his extreme reaction, Lin Chen was about to press him for details when Cangming had already crushed the bead.

A beam of white light enveloped him, compressing him into a single point of light in an instant before he vanished from the spot.

Only a few residual arcs of electricity remained flickering in the center of the lightning strike.

Lin Chen withdrew his gaze, his expression slightly grim. He hadn't expected the other party to possess such an escape treasure, and he certainly hadn't expected that even with his full effort, he wouldn't have left a single trace.

Li Zu walked up behind him and sighed, "These people from beyond the realm have more complete cultivation systems than us, and they possess more treasures. Capturing them is not easy to begin with."

Lin Chen paused for a moment, then nodded: "It really wasn't easy."

He had already used all his trump cards in a short period of time: the Dark Divine Thunder Array, the Time Dao Fruit, and the Nine Avatars. Each of them was enough to suppress most opponents in this starry sky, but he still couldn't hold back an extraterrestrial visitor whose strength was suppressed by the laws of the world.

Li Zu didn't say anything more, he just stood quietly beside him, neither leaving nor urging him.

After a while, Li Zu turned around and waved to the Devouring Ancestor and the others.

The Devouring Ancestor quickly walked over and stood behind the Power Ancestor, adopting a rare moment of humility, as if he was prepared to back down.

Li Zu looked at Lin Chen: "I've already ordered them to withdraw their troops stationed outside the Divine Realm, and they're prohibited from further exploiting and enslaving the various races of the starry sky." He paused, "How about you two put aside your grudges?"

Lin Chen glanced at the Devouring Ancestor and the others; they were all much more obedient than before.

But he shook his head: "I can't make that decision."

Li Zu was taken aback: "What do you mean?"

Lin Chen's gaze fell on Li Zu: "Are you aware of the World Tree's eruption of its primal energy this time?"

Li Zu nodded: "I understand."

"Do you know how many lives have been lost in this disaster?"

Li Zu did not answer immediately, as if he had never seriously considered this matter.

Lin Chen's eyes turned cold: "On my home planet Blue Star alone, eight billion of the human race have died. I still have hundreds of millions of my people alive. They have relatives and friends, all of whom died in this disaster."

His voice wasn't loud, but every word carried weight: "I cannot forgive you on their behalf."

Li Zu paused for a moment: "But the real culprit is that Cang Ming..."

"Don't you bear any responsibility?" Lin Chen interrupted him. "The World Tree is right on your ancestral planet. Cangming made his move three days ago. Did you really not know, or did you simply not want to know? Who among you was fueling this?"
