Chapter 2510 - 2478: Adversity Makes People Strong

Chapter 2510: Chapter 2478: Adversity Makes People Strong

No one noticed the departure of the black box. Even if someone did notice, at this point, they were completely captivated by Li Chen’s actions, wholly uninterested in the departure of the black box.

Because Li Chen’s actions were truly astonishing.

They could see that the pillar of the Black Tide of Nihility, something that even the Palm Realm powerhouses, including the Tian Que of Founding Realm, were powerless against, was melting away like snow under the spring sun at Li Chen’s touch. They could even clearly sense that the aura of the Black Tide of Nihility was continuously weakening. In other words, the Black Tide of Nihility was genuinely disappearing, rather than being some kind of Blinding Technique!

"Who...exactly is he?!" Many people had this thought arise in their minds.

After all, Li Chen was an outsider who did not belong to the Jianmu Universe.

Moreover, due to the tranquility of the Jianmu Universe, many Palm Realm powerhouses had never ventured outside the Jianmu Universe, hence they were full of curiosity about the world beyond.

The appearance of Li Chen only heightened their curiosity about the outside world.

In fact, a strong impulse suddenly welled up in the hearts of several Palm Realm powerhouses, wanting to leave the Jianmu Universe immediately.

To the Palm Realm powerhouses, the Jianmu Universe was still too small.

Perhaps the Jianmu Universe has vast territories, and merely a single Jiankong Realm is enough to keep the Palm Realm powerhouses exploring for countless years.

Yet countless years are not truly countless.

If they can’t finish exploring in one million years, then it’s ten million years. If ten million years are not enough, then it’s one hundred million years, an era, an entire epoch!

Though the Jianmu Universe is vast, there will inevitably come a day when these powerhouses will have explored it all.

But the vast nihility outside is genuinely infinite.

Additionally, within the vast nihility, there exist other universes and even powerhouses from other universes.

Engaging in combat with powerhouses from different universes can further enhance their honing.

The Jianmu Universe, while safer, is...too peaceful.

At least, to the Palm Realm powerhouses, that’s how it is.

In cultivating in a peaceful environment, lacking the grind of life and death, without the impediment of enemies, even if one’s talent is superior, the accomplishments are ultimately limited.

But outside, it is entirely different.

"Is everyone in the outside world as powerful as this Dust Saint of the Mundane World?"

A few people gazing at Li Chen in the sky couldn’t help but mutter to themselves.

Li Chen’s might undeniably brought them immense shock. Especially when Li Chen single-handedly fought against a large group of Palm Realm powerhouses earlier, even Tian Que stepped in, but ultimately couldn’t do anything to him.

Such an event completely confounded many people’s understanding.

Powerful!

This is the impression Li Chen left on the Palm Realm powerhouses of the Jianmu Universe.

This impression even erased all traces that Li Chen had left before.

No matter what Li Chen had done before, at this moment, he was unprecedentedly powerful, even seemingly invincible to them.

Yet such a being comes from the outside world.

"Lady Shi Yin said that after Lord Red Dust resolves the Black Tide of Nihility crisis, we’ll be following him to his universe for battle?" someone couldn’t help but ask.

It seemed that even he didn’t notice that he had subconsciously started referring to Li Chen as ’Lord’.

Such is the world of cultivators, where age and seniority can be temporarily set aside, and only strength is the sole standard for respect.

"Yes, I heard Lady Shi Yin say that Lord Red Dust’s universe is amidst a war, and if we go over there, won’t we get to partake in a real war? The thought of a war between Palm Realm powerhouses makes one’s blood boil!"

"Not just a war between Palm Realm powerhouses; I’ve heard it’s a war between universes! Be cautious, our Jianmu Universe has only engaged in minor skirmishes before. If you imagine the soldiers in the empire wars between mortals in the Lower Realm as cultivators, you can get a sense of just how brutal it is—carelessness may cost you your life!"

"Lose one’s life? To be honest, I’ve been planning to leave the Jianmu Universe for a while. Everything’s fine in the Jianmu Universe, except it’s just too lifeless. How would we achieve breakthroughs in cultivating within such an environment? Watch and see, this time following Lord Red Dust to join the battle, if I survive, I will undoubtedly break through to the Late Stage of Palm Source Realm, or even Founding Realm!"

"Founding Realm, you?" The friend of the Dao Saint couldn’t help but let out a chuckle.

Regardless, the Palm Realm powerhouses present started to inexplicably feel a sense of anticipation about this journey outside the universe.

Perhaps the action might be hazardous.

Nevertheless, danger is always accompanied by opportunity, isn’t it?

Tian Que didn’t speak; they merely watched Li Chen, their gaze appearing somewhat sullen.

As for Poem Shadow, she couldn’t help but fall into deep thought, gazing at the countless Palm Realm powerhouses of the Jianmu Universe with introspection: "Have I truly been on the wrong path all these years?"

"It’s better to channel than to block."

While the Poem Shadow Dao Saint was still pondering, a voice rang in her ear.

"You’ve been too protective of the Jianmu Universe and its cultivators." Li Chen, at some unknown moment, had returned to her side; yet at this moment, Li Chen remained in black clothes and black hair, emanating an aura that made even the Poem Shadow Dao Saint feel a chilling fright.

"Cultivators are inherently defying the heavens, seizing luck from heaven and destiny to strengthen themselves." Without paying heed to the gaze of the Poem Shadow Dao Saint, Li Chen spoke calmly: "Such seizing is initially the most primitive and closest to the origin within the jungle law of the cosmic path."

"But you have forcibly reversed this jungle law. Although on the surface it appears that the Jianmu Universe is producing powerhouses, in reality, your actions have also stifled some genuinely talented geniuses."

"Favorable circumstances can indeed make one strong."

"But only adversity can make one truly invincible!" Li Chen spoke lightly.

As he spoke, his hair’s black color began to fade slowly, returning to its previous white, the robe similarly faded, the black gradually disappearing and replaced by white.

The black qi within was suppressed down by the Unmovable as a Mountain Dao.

Yet Li Chen also discovered that his Dao seemed to undergo some peculiar transformation.

The original Unmovable as a Mountain merely signified hardness, stabilizing oneself only.

But now, after suppressing the black qi multiple times, a strange power began to emerge, continuously merging with his Unmovable as a Mountain Dao.

"This is...my former Dao!" Li Chen felt a thrill of joy in his heart.
