144: Chapter 144 Encounter

As Wang Chen continued to approach.

A terrifying Devouring Force instantly enveloped his entire body!

That Devouring Force.

It felt as if it wanted to turn all living beings who stepped into this area into nothingness!

Even those old monsters at the Peak Domain Realm back then had only taken a glance from afar and never dared to approach even half a step closer.

But Wang Chen's steps.

Did not pause for even a moment!

He merely raised an eyebrow slightly and continued walking forward.

He could feel it.

That Devouring Force was frantically tearing at his Divine Thought body, attempting to pull him into an endless dark abyss.

But at the same time—

The Imperial Dao Laws within his body also began to circulate automatically.

“Buzz—!”

A faint golden light emerged from Wang Chen's Divine Thought body.

That golden light was not dazzling; it could even be said to be somewhat soft, yet it contained a supreme aura!

It was precisely the ultimate manifestation of the Imperial Dao Laws he Cultivated, combined with the Imperial Destiny Power!

As Wang Chen approached the Giant Black Gate step by step, the Devouring Force also grew stronger and stronger.

But correspondingly.

The golden light on his body also became increasingly powerful!

With every step.

The golden light on his body brightened by another degree.

By the time he reached a distance of only a hundred feet from the Giant Black Gate, the golden light on his body was already like a blazing sun in the sky, illuminating the entire center of the Star Domain!

“This... what's going on?”

“This golden light is so warm; I actually feel like prostrating myself in worship!”

“Me too, I really want to kneel down and worship devoutly...”

...

At this moment.

Throughout the center of the Star Domain, in countless worlds, countless living beings all saw that golden light illuminating the sky!

Countless ordinary beings.

Although they didn't know what was happening, they all instinctively knelt down and kowtowed devoutly toward the direction of that golden light!

At this moment.

That golden light seemed to have become the center of the entire Star Domain.

At the same time.

Wang Chen finally arrived in front of the Giant Black Gate.

However.

Just as his body was about to touch the giant door...

That terrifying Devouring Force suddenly vanished!

Yes.

It just vanished!

As if it had never existed.

Even Wang Chen was slightly stunned, an unexpected look flashing in his eyes.

He could feel it.

That Devouring Force was not naturally occurring.

It was as if someone had deliberately arranged it!

Its purpose was not to kill those who approached, but to...

Stop those who approached!

As if it were guarding something.

“Interesting.”

Wang Chen was in no hurry to push open the giant door; instead, he stood quietly before it, carefully observing this eerie Giant Black Gate.

Upon closer inspection, he could feel that this door was not formed from pure darkness.

Its material.

Wang Chen had never seen it before!

The aura it emitted.

Wang Chen had never felt it before!

It was as if it came from another dimension...

Just as Wang Chen was about to reach out and push open the giant door before him...

The System's voice suddenly rang out in his mind!

[Ding—]

[Host is reminded that the Domain Realm Experience Card is about to expire. Remaining time: one minute.]

Wang Chen raised an eyebrow.

One minute?

He looked at the eerie Giant Black Gate in front of him and then sensed his Divine Thought Incarnation.

He had already come this damn far.

He had to see what was behind the door, right?

Although only one minute remained.

But for an expert of his level, one minute was enough to do many things.

Even if there was real danger, the worst that could happen was losing a single Divine Thought.

After thinking this.

Wang Chen no longer hesitated.

He raised his hand and gently pushed toward the Giant Black Gate.

However.

The moment his palm touched the Giant Black Gate...

“Boom—!!!”

The giant door.

Suddenly opened on its own!

It wasn't pushed open by Wang Chen; it opened by itself!

Immediately after...

A giant palm carrying terrifying power suddenly reached out from inside the door!

It was not a human palm.

But a beast claw similar to a Dragon claw!

The most terrifying thing.

Was not the size of the giant claw, nor the terrifying power it emitted.

But the aura it carried!

It was an aura...

That did not belong to this Star Domain!

It was an aura...

That transcended everything!

It was an aura...

That even made Wang Chen feel palpitation!

The moment that aura appeared—

The entire Star Domain.

Fell into stagnation!

Even time stopped flowing!

Within the Tianxu Realm.

That old monster's eyes widened, but he couldn't make a sound!

Within the God-Fallen Realm.

That middle-aged man who sought the Dao through slaughter turned pale, his eyes filled with despair!

Even within the Myriad Laws Realm.

That figure surrounded by thousands of Laws was also trembling all over, horror appearing in his eyes for the first time!

They wanted to flee.

But found they couldn't move at all!

They wanted to resist.

But found that the Power of Law they were so proud of was as fragile as an ant before that aura!

It was an existence they could not comprehend!

And a height they could not reach!

That was...

A god capable of crushing everything!

And at this time.

Wang Chen stood before the giant door, watching the giant hand striking toward him, a hint of shock flashing in his eyes.

But...

That was all.

He did not panic.

Much less retreat.

Because he was Wang Chen.

The Emperor of the Tianxuan Dynasty.

An existence who walked the path of the Imperial Dao and ruled over all under heaven.

Therefore.

He feared nothing, not even death!!

The moment the giant hand was about to strike down—

Wang Chen moved.

He did not retreat but instead raised his right hand and struck out with a palm of his own!

This single palm.

Used all his current power; its might definitely reached the category of transcending the Domain!

“Boom—!!!”

The two giant palms.

Clashed together in an instant!

At that moment, the entire Star Domain felt as if it were about to be torn apart by this terrifying power!

Space.

Completely shattered, turning into countless fragments that splattered in all directions!

The Laws.

Also surged frantically like a pot of boiling water!

And Wang Chen's Divine Thought Incarnation!

Was also instantly consumed by more than half in this strike, becoming nearly transparent.

Of course.

That giant claw reaching out from the Giant Black Gate also retracted behind the door after this strike!

“Hmph! Interesting! When my true body descends, I will definitely see exactly what is behind this!”

After Wang Chen finished speaking.

The Divine Thought directly dissipated because the trial card's time was up.

His final sentence was purely for show, intended for the surrounding experts to hear!

And at this moment.

In the distant Profound Heaven Continent, deep within the Imperial City.

Wang Chen's true body.

Suddenly snapped his eyes open!

A golden light first flashed in his eyes before they returned to tranquility.

“An existence transcending the Domain Realm...”

“It seems I underestimated this Star Domain; the Peak Domain Realm might not necessarily be the strongest!”

“Behind that door, there actually exists something of that level...”

“Interesting.”

“It's getting more and more interesting.”

That Giant Black Gate.

That powerful giant claw.

And that aura transcending everything...

All predicted that.

This Star Domain still had a side he did not understand!

In the center of the Star Domain.

That Giant Black Gate slowly closed once again.

Everything.

Returned to tranquility.

As if nothing had ever happened.

Only those Domain Realm old monsters who had witnessed this scene with their own eyes were still trembling incessantly, their hearts unable to calm down for a long time.

They knew—

The sky over this Star Domain was about to change...
