Chapter 1913 - 1882: That Would Make Me Seem Incompetent

The black beast is incredibly powerful.

There’s no doubt that its aura, akin to that of an Immortal Venerable, is genuine. Although the people present had barely gained confidence in Li Chen’s abilities due to prior arrangements, many still felt that this was Li Chen’s first real encounter on the Four Realms battlefield. If he perished due to arrogance, it wouldn’t just be a matter of regret; it could potentially spell disaster for all of them.

If the strongest among them, an Immortal King level expert, falls, what hope do these Great Yi True Immortals and Daluo Golden Immortals have?

"Boom!!"

Dust cleared, revealing the state of the area.

The giant beast remained motionless, its massive claw slammed firmly into the ground, but Li Chen... had vanished.

At this moment, the beast’s claw was flush with the ground; the space Li Chen occupied between the beast and the ground no longer existed.

"How could this be..."

"Even top-level Body Refinement Experts can’t withstand a single claw from this beast? Could the gap between Soul Realm and Domain Realm really be this vast?"

"Even the Immortal King has fallen, then what about us..."

While the group of immortals started to panic, a somewhat discontented voice emerged from beneath the giant claw.

"What’s all the noise? Mourning the dead?!"

The beast had initially thought it had crushed Li Chen, but upon hearing this voice, it tilted its large head in surprise.

"Moo?"

"Boom!!"

The ground shattered, as Li Chen burst forth from beneath the claw, somersaulted in mid-air, and grabbed the beast’s claw, hurling it aside.

The colossal body of the beast was lifted off the ground by sheer force and was slammed back down after a spin.

Glancing back with some dissatisfaction at the group of immortals, Li Chen couldn’t help but mutter, "So you have no faith in me? That guy just has the advantage of size, nothing more."

Indeed, the beast had the advantage in size and attacked from above. Li Chen had not been careful to solidify the ground beneath him and was thus driven into it.

As for his body, it was, of course, unscathed.

Joking aside, though the Indestructible Body is said to have unrivaled healing power, it’s not so easily wounded.

Despite the beast’s enormous size, it couldn’t match the hardness and resilience of Li Chen’s Indestructible Body.

"Moo!!"

The beast, having crashed into the ground and smashed through a grove of trees, turned around angrily and roared at Li Chen.

"What’s all the yelling for?"

Li Chen rolled up his sleeves, realizing he was somewhat outmatched in terms of strength.

It wasn’t that his power wasn’t formidable; it was just that this creature, with an Immortal Venerable level cultivation, had invested most of that power into strengthening its body, making its Yuan Force nearly negligible.

Yet, even without those elements, its terrifying physical strength alone was enough to overpower any existence below the Soul Realm.

However, this law only applied to ordinary cultivators.

Fortunately for him, Li Chen was an exception.

"Come on! Let’s fight one-on-one!" Li Chen laughed wildly, his blood-red hair billowing as he charged the beast.

Thus, under the watchful eyes of everyone, the battle between the pair—one large, one small, one red, one black—began, astonishingly without any hint of incongruity.

"Boom!!"

Grabbing the beast’s claw, Li Chen fiercely performed a suplex, once again throwing the beast away.

The beast, not one to shrink back, roared and charged back, slapping Li Chen away with a paw.

"Kill!!"

"Moo!!"

It’s hard to believe, given the enormous difference in their sizes, how harmonious this melee appeared, going blow for blow.

As the battle wore on, wounds began to appear on the beast, with blood seeping through its thick fur.

Meanwhile, Li Chen was also feeling the strain. He experienced aches all over as his body had undergone numerous deformations due to the fight, though he quickly recovered thanks to his Indestructible Body, the pain lingered for a while longer.

Moreover, physical injuries also consume energy, and Li Chen’s stamina was being heavily taxed.

"This monster may be an Immortal Venerable, but its attacks are too simple. Its body is powerful, but it lacks spells or divine skills, relying mostly on pure force to shatter the weaker power of laws," Li Chen analyzed inwardly.

"Such a monster, within the ranks of the Immortal Venerables, would be at the bottom tier," he mused.

In his opinion, this beast was likely even weaker than Jin Luo.

That’s one of the main reasons he dared to engage in close combat without using any divine power law.

Of course, an average Immortal Venerable might not even have the qualifications to spar with him. After all, immortals lack the horrifying physique of this beast.

"Still, this should be about enough."

Just as Li Chen decided to end the battle, the beast’s speed suddenly increased, its body twisting as it lunged toward those nearby to bite.

Seeing Li Chen as a tough opponent, this creature unexpectedly shifted its target.

Not far from the beast, several Daluo Golden Immortals stood dumbfounded, watching as the beast’s massive mouth gaped toward them.

The beast moved so fast that its gaping maw was upon them before they could react.

"Courting death!"

Li Chen gritted his teeth.

"Selflessness!"

A light blue domain quickly spread out, causing the few immortals who hadn’t escaped in time to vanish.

"Crack!!"

The beast’s sharp teeth bit into nothing, producing a bone-chilling crack in the air.

At that critical moment, Li Chen used his Domain Power to relocate the immortals.

Given the circumstances, he had no other means to save them.

Though he wasn’t particularly concerned about the fates of these immortals, from some perspectives, Li Chen preferred they didn’t die.

"It would make me seem incompetent, yes, definitely that," Li Chen told himself.

The next moment, Li Chen’s gaze locked onto the black beast.

Since the creature was resorting to underhanded tactics, he saw no reason to drag this out, especially in the Ancient Battle Realm Continent where delays could be perilous.

With a gesture, a sinister, blood-colored long saber appeared in Li Chen’s hand.

After giving the black beast a glance, Li Chen called back to those behind him: "Get everything ready."

The immortals were still a bit confused, but they saw Bai Tianyi and Yang Xin swiftly bringing out pots, bowls, and seasonings.

Then, they heard Li Chen’s next words.

"Dinner is about to be served."
