At the same time, Ling Chen also took the meteorite which they called the shard of a Dimensional Spatial Gateway's Key out of his spatial ring to look at it again.

However, the moment he did, the calm and serious expression of the Palace Lord and the Eight Supreme Elders suddenly changed.

Apex existences like them that have lived for thousands of years and reached the peak of the 7th Ring of the Chaos Universe rarely get surprised and excited about anything.

However, in this instant, their old pair of eyes opened wide while gazing at the piece of meteorite in Ling Chen's hand.

It was as if they were looking at a peerless treasure and they couldn't hide the excitement and greed in their eyes.

Some even rubbed their eyes since they thought they were only seeing things. However, after rubbing their eyes for a while, the meteorite was still there, meaning that it was not only in their minds!

After a while, the Palace Lord managed to calm himself down and regain his composure before speaking." Young man, I don't know who are you and where you came from but I'm sure that you already know about the fate of the Great Luo Empire and why they were destroyed."

"You also know how important this thing is for me and the Leviathan Palace. Yet, you dare to fearlessly bring it here with you without fearing

that we could just kill you and take it from you."

"Either you are confident that we can't kill you and forcefully take it from you because you're confident in your strength and backing or you're just too stupid thinking that we won't kill you."He added with slight killing intent in his eyes.

Listening to the Palace Lord's words, Ling Chen didn't say anything. He just stood there while looking at him with an enigmatic smile on his face.

However, the Palace Lord didn't stop there as he continued to speak" I have lived for countless years. In the 7th Ring of the Chaos Universe, I am afraid that not many people have lived for as long as I have and those that have can be counted with one hand."

"For hundreds of thousands of years, my eyes have seen many people, but for some reason, I can't see through you. As such, I concluded that you aren't that simple."

"But I can be wrong. My eyes and senses might be deceiving me. So, why don't you tell me which one are you, young man? Are you the former or the latter?"Said the Palace Lord as his gaze was fixated on Ling Chen. At the same time, his eyes flashed a hint of suspicion and doubt.

The Palace Lord wasn't stupid. He was an old fox that has lived for more than two hundred thousand years and has been the Palace Lord of the Leviathan Palace for more than fifty thousand years.

To survive in this perilous and treacherous universe, aside from having enough strength to protect oneself, the most important thing was to have a discerning eye!

Furthermore, one had to receive accurate intelligence or one might end up offending a terrifying figure without knowing it, immediately causing a calamity to befall them.

As such, he didn't dare act rashly since he could not see through the strength of the young man in front of him despite his unfathomable cultivation base.

Even a peak God-King could not hide his cultivation base from him. Yet, that young man was able to do so. Feeling uncertain, he held back the thought of doing anything harsh.

Since Ling Chen was able to kill two of his elders who possessed the cultivation strength of the middle-stage God Transformation realm, then he must be a peak God Transformation Realm expert or even a True God-King.

Furthermore, to possess such strength at such a young age, one could only imagine how great his background was.

Though the Leviathan Palace was peak influence in the 7th Ring of the Chaos Universe and also the overlord of the Nova Galaxy, there were also others like them and even stronger.

"Smart people find me very easy to deal with. As for your question, there's only one way to find that out and you already know the answer."Ling Chen lightly responded while looking at the Palace Lord with a mysterious smile on his face.

The Palace Lord felt the cold and indifferent tone of voice, and indescribable anger gushed up inside him. However, he remained calm.

"I see. So, which one if you want to teach that youngster a lesson." The Palace coldly smiled as he looked at the Eight Supreme Elders by his side.

"Palace Lord, leave this to me. It's been thousands of years since I exercised these old bones of mine."Said the Supreme Elder that sat next to Palace Lord, appearing to look down on all existences as he weakly spoke.

At the same time, the Supreme Elder stood up and walked towards Ling Chen. Suddenly, an endless net of lightning encompassed the entire pavilion.

At this moment, the supreme elder didn't look like an old man nearing his end anymore. He was more like an awakened divine and ferocious beast. Before his piercing gaze, even peak God Transformation realm experts would find that their legs would give in.

"Boom!"In the next second, the space around the supreme elder began to crumble as he released his terrible God-King aura. It was as if the around him couldn't handle his overbearing God-King aura and could shatter at any moment like broken porcelain.

Meanwhile, Ling Chen felt as though his entire body has become a thousand times heavier under the pressure of the old man.

He hasn't even made a move yet. Just his aura alone made Ling Chen felt as though he was carrying several giant mountains on his back. Even the ground beneath his feet started to sink in as he suddenly became several times heavier.

Even after coating his entire body with a thin later of spatial power with his God Domain, he was still unable to withstand the old man's pressure as it was crumbling as well.

"So, this is the power of a True God King realm expert."Ling Chen coldly said his eyes were burning with fiery battle intent.

It was the first time, he had encountered such a powerful opponent that made even his blood boiled. Unlike the Kingslaughter Generals who were all False God King realm experts, this old man was the real deal, a True God King realm expert.
