Chapter 749: Chapter 721: Li Chen’s Ambition

Those who could claim a seat at the Palace of the Nether King were all proud beings.

As one of the three emissaries of the Palace of the Nether King, Ning Wangyang and Ye Tu were even more so.

Because, within the Palace of the Nether King, their strength was indeed the strongest, and on this point, even the Five Great Leaders could only bow their heads in allegiance.

In terms of one-on-one combat, aside from Li Chen, it would be just the two of them.

After losing a large number of Main God Ranking warriors last time, both were definitely capable of vying for a position in the Main God Ranking.

Due to their personalities, they did not pursue fame and wealth, and thus, they paid no attention to the re-ranking of the Main God Ranking.

However, their strength was undeniably formidable.

Being strong, they naturally possessed the pride that befits a strong man.

Now, Li Chen was saying he would handle them both with just one hand? How could they tolerate this?

The provocation method sometimes depended on who used it, like when Li Chen used it, it worked instantly.

"King of the Netherworld, although you are the boss, I won’t be showing any mercy!" Ning Wangyang drew his longsword from behind him.

"Me neither. Even though my martial arts were taught by you, boss, you also taught me never to hold back when facing someone of equal or greater strength!" Ye Tu also took up a stance.

"No problem, come on then." Li Chen grinned and began to laugh.

It seemed that this time he needed to teach these two guys a good lesson.

"Here I come!" Ning Wangyang’s gaze flashed, and a cold light suddenly streaked across, the remaining few could only see a flash of cold light, and by the time they realized, Ning Wangyang had already reached close to Li Chen, his sword slashing down towards him.

This guy was still as crazy as ever, with no intention of holding back.

However, Li Chen just smiled faintly upon seeing this sword light.

If it had been in the past, he might have found Ning Wangyang’s sword somewhat troublesome, but now, his strength was beyond any comparison to what it had been before.

With a flick of his finger, there came a light sound from the sword.

"Ding!!"

However, what Ning Wangyang felt from this light sound was as if an immense power of mountains and seas had struck him, almost instantly, his palm was shaken to the point of splitting, and his whole body was violently thrown backward.

But Ning Wangyang’s character was extremely fierce, preferring to let his palm bleed profusely rather than letting go of the sword in his hand.

For him, his sword was his life; the moment he dropped his sword would be the moment he died.

At this moment, a ghast-like figure suddenly moved behind Li Chen, and a sweeping leg attack, heavy and forceful, swept towards Li Chen’s neck.

Li Chen’s face showed a faint smile as he reached out and caught Ye Tu’s leg in his hand.

With a casual swing, Ye Tu screamed as he was flung away by Li Chen.

At this moment, everyone’s gaze was locked on Li Chen, their eyes filled with disbelief.

The previous Li Chen, though strong, was never this overpowering, right?

He casually threw two major emissaries away; what kind of strength was this?

"So, do you believe it now?" Li Chen’s gaze became calm.

Ning Wangyang held his sword without saying a word. He seemed to still be in disbelief, unable to fathom that in such a short period of time, Li Chen’s strength had skyrocketed to such a terrifying extent.

A simple flick of a finger had directly driven him back.

Just this one contact made him realize the immense gap between him and Li Chen.

"In fact, I only discovered this myself not long ago," Li Chen sighed as he saw the group’s silence.

"Previously, our strength, in the eyes of some powerful beings, was considered mediocre at best. Even now, it is still the case."

Li Chen’s face bore an unwillingness; he, the great King of the Netherworld, was deemed insignificant in someone’s eyes.

But now, he had no choice but to believe it.

"Only after reaching a certain level of strength does one truly enter the gates of the strong," Li Chen said calmly, "In the world of the truly strong, there are explicit classifications of strength: Heaven, Earth, Profound, and Yellow ranks, each divided into three stages."

"So boss, your strength is now..." Zu Gu couldn’t help but ask.

Li Chen gave a bitter smile, "I am only at the Mysterious Level Intermediate Stage. I have barely survived several deadly situations to reach this breakthrough."

"And me..." Ning Wangyang hesitated before speaking.

"You are just a little short of the Yellow rank," Li Chen said.

Ning Wangyang stopped talking and silently bowed his head.

Ye Tu, standing beside him, patted Ning Wangyang on the shoulder without saying a word. His strength was close to Ning Wangyang’s, which meant he had not reached the Yellow rank mentioned by Li Chen.

"Everyone, lift your heads up!" Seeing the somewhat dispirited looks on their faces, Li Chen couldn’t help but speak sharply.

"I didn’t call you here to discourage you! Now that you know the gap between yourselves and the true strong, it’s time to think of ways to bridge that gap!" Li Chen said.

"Boss, do you mean..."

A glint of sharpness passed through Li Chen’s eyes, "I want all of you to become true strong people!"

"True strong people?!" The group abruptly looked up, their eyes flickering with strange lights at Li Chen’s words.

Just a short while ago, they had believed themselves to be among the world’s top strong ones, living freely and unrestrained.

But at this moment, Li Chen’s cold reality check made them realize that there were others in the world who could easily crush them.

These individuals were the true strong ones Li Chen spoke of.

Their pride had plummeted to rock bottom.

But Li Chen’s words also gave them hope.

To become the true strong?

They had a proud heart, a heart that befits the strong.

They lacked nothing else; they were lacking only in strength!

"Boss, just tell us what to do?" At that moment, Ning Wangyang was the first to speak.

"What to do?" Seeing the group’s spirit gradually recover, a faint smile appeared on Li Chen’s face.

"It’s simple, that is... to become stronger!"

As he spoke, Li Chen reached into his chest and, before everyone’s eyes, slowly unfolded his hand.

Raw Stone!

This was the Raw Stone that Li Chen had obtained from the monsters in the Relic!

"Starting today, you will train with these items. My requirement is that you must at least break through to the Yellow rank; otherwise, don’t tell me you are an Emissary Leader or Battle General of the Palace of the Nether King!" Li Chen said sternly.

"Yes!" Everyone responded in unison.

Turning his head, Li Chen’s eyes revealed a rare ambition.

He had a powerful enemy named Holy Mountain.

Similarly, in the Relic, there were too many unknowns and dangers, and individual strength, no matter how great, was limited.

But he was not alone—he was the King of the Netherworld!

"Just you wait..."
