The Demon Lotus Emperor coldly smiled at Wei Chen.
Wei Chen shrugged nonchalantly and said, "Do whatever you want. Do you really think your little power can hurt me?"
"I like your crazy attitude!" The Demon Lotus Emperor looked deeply at Wei Chen, his eyes filled with mockery.
Wei Chen felt a bit strange. Could it be that the Demon Lotus Emperor really had some way to trap him?
Just as he was thinking, a strange force emanated from the Demon Lotus Emperor, enveloping Wei Chen.
Wei Chen was taken aback. When he sensed that strange power, he tried to teleport away, but it was already too late.
But this was the Demon Realm, Wei Chen's territory; he could go wherever he wanted in an instant.
However, something strange happened. The Demon Lotus Emperor's bizarre power actually restrained Wei Chen, preventing him from escaping.
Wei Chen felt an inexplicable energy surrounding him, rendering his teleportation ability completely ineffective.
"Demon Lotus Emperor, what is this? It's quite impressive that you can actually control me!" Wei Chen asked with a smile.
"However, in the face of absolute power, this little trick of yours is useless, right?" Wei Chen chuckled.
The Demon Lotus Emperor sneered, "Absolute power? Heh, why don't you try? Let's see if your First-Level Deity strength can break my spatial confinement."
Wei Chen replied helplessly, "In the presence of Divine Power, your spatial confinement is nothing."
With that, Wei Chen waved his hand lightly. Divine Power surged forth, and the Demon Lotus Emperor's spatial confinement shattered instantly.
The Demon Lotus Emperor was stunned.
Red Boy stood to the side, awkwardly smiling.
"This is truly a major embarrassment!" the Demon Lotus Emperor thought.
Using a low-level Spatial Martial Soul and Soul Power to bind a deity—was that even possible? Moreover, Wei Chen was a master of formations; spatial binding was part of the Formation System. Even without Divine Power, given some time, he could break the formation.
"How about it? Are you convinced?" Wei Chen teased as he looked at the Demon Lotus Emperor. Seeing the changing colors on the Demon Lotus Emperor's face, he couldn't help but smile proudly.
After a moment of silence, the Demon Lotus Emperor shook his head helplessly and said, "My spatial binding can't deal with you; after all, you have Divine Power. I underestimated the power of Divine Power. But aside from Divine Power, there is absolutely no force that can break my spatial binding."
"Oh? Is that really what you think?" Wei Chen laughed. "Let's see; this time I won't use Divine Power."
"Really?" The Demon Lotus Emperor's eyes lit up.
Wei Chen smiled and said, "Give it a try."
The spatial binding was once again placed upon Wei Chen.
Wei Chen carefully sensed the process of the spatial binding forming and discovered its intricacies. It was a type of spatial binding created by the Demon Lotus Emperor using his Spatial Martial Soul to communicate with the void. Therefore, it was difficult to detect and could not be instantly removed. After all, no matter where you moved, the effect remained the same—you were still within that space!
"Demon Lotus Emperor, I want to know, if I were to break your spatial binding with brute force, would you be harmed by backlash?" Wei Chen asked with concern.
The Demon Lotus Emperor shook his head and replied, "No, this is formed by my Spatial Martial Soul communicating with the earth; what you would break is the energy of the earth, not my own energy."
"That's good to know."
Wei Chen smiled lightly, then raised his right arm. A surge of explosive power spread out, and in that moment, his right arm swung fiercely, causing the surrounding void to turn black.
That was the mark of a spatial rift created by Wei Chen!
His unadorned fist struck against the spatial confinement of the Demon Lotus Emperor, and in an instant, that confinement shattered once more...
The Demon Lotus Emperor felt like crying without tears.
He had never imagined that sheer brute force could break through his own spatial confinement.
What he had thought was a formidable spatial confinement, under Wei Chen's might, was nothing more than paper!
"Are you kidding me? When did your strength become this powerful? I thought your forte was Mental Strength and Formation Assignment? Physical strength has always been your weak point, right?" The Demon Lotus Emperor hung his head with a bitter expression, feeling as if he wanted to die. How could they continue like this?
Wei Chen shrugged and said, "You train what you lack. Do you think I have all the time in the world?"
"Fine, you win. I have nothing to say. But my spatial confinement should hold against someone at the Divine King level from the Ancient World," the Demon Lotus Emperor said. His confidence had been shaken by Wei Chen, but it wasn't completely gone; after all, Wei Chen was indeed monstrous, and the strong ones from the Ancient World were still within human limits.
Wei Chen smiled noncommittally and replied, "I haven't seen what a Divine King from the Ancient World is capable of either. But don't worry; you'll find out soon enough if your spatial confinement works."
At this point, the aura of spatial fluctuations had grown quite strong. A dark Spatial Tunnel exit slowly revealed itself above Soul Beast Mountain.
Wei Chen, the Demon Lotus Emperor, and Red Boy immediately arrived at the mouth of the Spatial Tunnel, waiting for the arrival of a powerhouse from the Ancient World.
"Why is it taking so long? Isn't the Spatial Tunnel supposed to be reliable? It should be here in a blink!" the Demon Lotus Emperor urged anxiously.
He was eager to test whether his spatial confinement could hold back a powerhouse from the Ancient World. Among the three of them, only he felt this urgency; Red Boy was merely an observer, while Wei Chen was so strong that he didn't care about a powerhouse from the Ancient World. In contrast, the Demon Lotus Emperor was feeling quite anxious.
"Between the Spatial Planes, the distance is far too great, and there are countless barriers in between. Not even a god can leap across; one can only rely on the Spatial Tunnel. If two Spatial Planes are of equal rank and not too far apart, one can reach the other in the blink of an eye. However, if the distance between two Spatial Planes is inherently vast, or if they are of different ranks, then traveling through the Spatial Tunnel will take longer. This is basic knowledge, isn't it? Didn't you know?" Wei Chen retorted to the Demon Lotus Emperor.
The Demon Lotus Emperor scoffed, "Of course I know that."
"Then why all this unnecessary talk?"
"I was just speaking casually; don't take it seriously."
The Demon Lotus Emperor seemed somewhat shameless, leaving Wei Chen at a loss for words.
However, because they had spent a lot of time earlier at the summit of Soul Beast Mountain with the Demon Lotus Emperor experimenting with his spatial confinement, their wait at the exit of the Spatial Tunnel was not long.
As the aura grew stronger, the Demon Lotus Emperor became tense. His spatial confinement was already prepared and set at the exit of the Spatial Tunnel, waiting for the Ancient World Great Being to appear.
Finally, after much anticipation, a majestic elder appeared in Wei Chen's line of sight.
Upon seeing Wei Chen and his companions, a powerful Palm Power shot out towards them.
Arriving in a world that did not belong to him, upon seeing three individuals, the Majestic Elder decided to eliminate them first.
"Such a Minor Technique, and you dare to flaunt it?"
Wei Chen coldly smiled; without any visible movement from him, that Palm Power capable of destroying a mountain vanished without a trace.
Feeling his Palm Power completely dissipate, the imposing middle-aged man felt a jolt in his heart—this was bad; he had encountered someone formidable!
In the next moment, as he attempted to flee, he realized that a strange energy circle had enveloped him.
He struck out with a powerful palm, the vast Palm Power containing an immense energy that, in the eyes of the middle-aged man, was enough to break through the surrounding barrier.
As the Palm Power made contact with the barrier, under the tense gaze of the Demon Lotus Emperor, it was completely rebounded, leaving the strong man flustered and disoriented.
"Success!" The Demon Lotus Emperor felt a surge of joy; thankfully, the barrier had not been breached, or he would have lost all face.
"Wei Chenzi, my spatial confinement can restrain beings at the Divine King level," the Demon Lotus Emperor boasted.
Wei Chen replied calmly, "I never doubted you. I just wanted to demonstrate that your spatial confinement is useless against absolute power."
"Alright then." The Demon Lotus Emperor shrugged it off; for him, successfully restraining someone from the Ancient World was a significant achievement.
Inside the Confinement Circle, the strongest Great Being from the Ancient World struggled left and right but ended up covered in dirt and unable to break free.
"Who are you?" The middle-aged man wrestled for a moment before realizing it was futile and gave up.
He had already resigned himself; this trip to the demon realm was far worse than his last! Previously, he had been locked down by an overwhelming Mental Strength and had dared not act, leaving in disgrace. Fortunately, he had sensed that the owner of that formidable Mental Strength was quite weak and would likely die in about a hundred thousand years. After expending tremendous effort over those years, he finally opened a Spatial Tunnel, thinking he could easily take the Refining Demon Pot...
Little did he expect that upon entering the demon realm, he would encounter two extremely troublesome figures.
One had effortlessly nullified his full-power strike, while the other had confined him...
Could it get any more frustrating?
The middle-aged man looked at Wei Chen and the Demon Lotus Emperor with eyes full of astonishment.
"My name is Wei Chen. You may not have heard of me yet; after all, I haven't been the Boundary God of this demon realm for long. Perhaps in a few decades, stories of me will be spreading throughout your Ancient World?"
Wei Chen looked at the middle-aged man, a teasing expression on his face.
The middle-aged man widened his eyes in shock upon hearing Wei Chen's words, incredulously exclaiming, "Boundary God? A Boundary God has appeared in the Demon Realm?"
"Have you seen this?" Wei Chen said, as a swirl of Divine Power manifested in his palm. The aura emanating from it made the middle-aged man within the Confinement Circle turn pale with fear.
"It’s really a god! A god has actually appeared in the Demon Realm! Oh no, did I step into a trap?"
The middle-aged man lamented inwardly, realizing that coming to the Demon Realm was a grave mistake—a suicidal act!
Could it get any worse? In a world with a Boundary God, everything belonged to the Boundary God. Who could take anything from a Boundary God's Ancestral Realm? Even the most powerful humans could not defeat even the weakest Boundary God!
Moreover, this middle-aged man was not someone who lacked discernment. He had seen many gods in the Ancient World and could sense that the young man before him possessed considerable Divine Power, likely at the level of a First-Level Deity!
"How is this possible? It’s only been just over a hundred thousand years since my last visit to the Demon Realm. In just a hundred thousand years, it would be remarkable to give birth to one Boundary God; how could one possibly evolve into a First-Level Deity?"
The middle-aged man was completely flustered. Was there any chance of resistance against a First-Level Deity?
He looked at Wei Chen with a bitter expression and bowed deeply, saying, "I am the Great Merchant God King of the Ancient World; I pay my respects to you!"
