My gorgeous wife Chapter 1934 - 1903: Red Dust Heavenly King (Part 8)
Li Chen engaged in a desperate struggle against the Immortal Emperor, whose might proved to be somewhat beyond his initial expectations.
Following his prior encounter with the Daoist Lord, a subtle, unspoken arrogance had taken root within Li Chen.
He was also acutely aware that neither the Spiritual Treasure nor Mo Daoyi had been afforded the opportunity to fully exhibit their true capabilities during their confrontations.
Moreover, had Mo Daoyi opted for direct action instead of engaging in prolonged conversation during their earlier encounter before Li Chen entered the Starry Sky Immortal City, Li Chen would undoubtedly not be in his current position.
Mo Daoyi's decision not to eliminate Li Chen immediately stemmed from his desire to uncover the secrets Li Chen held.
Ultimately, Mo Daoyi achieved nothing and was instead compelled by Li Chen to enter the Dao Tribulation Space for a second Dao Lord Golden Tribulation.
As for the Spiritual Treasure, on that particular occasion, it had not truly exerted itself at all.
However, the present circumstances were markedly different; the foe was genuinely exerting their full strength.
Despite facing only an Immortal Emperor, and not the formidable Yu Ming, that peerless peak Body Refinement Immortal Emperor, Li Chen found himself in an incredibly challenging predicament.
Even with the supplementary aid of Bai Tianyi, Li Chen was merely managing to cling to survival by a thread.
Up to this point, apart from the Supreme Treasure, Li Chen's only remaining untapped asset was the 'Wordless'.
Li Chen experienced a jolt of astonishment, unaware that at that precise moment, the Purple Armored Immortal Emperor was even more profoundly shocked.
What kind of monstrous being is this?
Possessing a cultivation level solely within the Domain Realm, yet this Immortal Emperor, who had already crossed the second threshold into the Soul Realm, found himself unable to subdue Li Chen for such an extended duration.
The Purple Armored Immortal Emperor confidently declared that Li Chen was unquestionably the most terrifyingly formidable Domain Realm cultivator he had ever encountered, without exception!
Based on his estimations, even an ordinarily powerful Immortal Venerable would likely face certain demise when confronting this youth; fortunately, he had recently navigated the Eighth Rank Heavenly Tribulation and advanced to the Immortal Emperor stage. Otherwise, he might very well have fallen at the hands of this youth today.
Setting aside the peculiar abilities and the Power of Laws manifesting in various forms, the sheer resilience of Li Chen's physical body, which had withstood numerous direct impacts without disintegrating, instilled formidable fear in the Purple Armored Immortal Emperor.
A Domain Realm cultivator, capable of physically enduring the assaults of an Immortal Emperor?
In bygone eras, such a notion would have been met with outright laughter as a preposterous jest.
Yet, now, this legendary impossibility was unfolding with vivid clarity before his very eyes.
He distinctly observed the severe injuries inflicted by his repeated assaults upon Li Chen, only for those wounds to mend and revert to their previous state within mere breaths; such an astonishing phenomenon was beyond anything he had ever heard of.
"I refuse to believe you are truly The Undying!" The Purple Armored Immortal Emperor, his teeth clenched, conjured two Battle Blades once more, cleaving through the fabric of space as he charged furiously towards Li Chen.
Simultaneously advancing towards the Purple Armored Immortal Emperor, Li Chen's expression remained impassive, his body contorting at an unnervingly unnatural angle.
The twin Battle Blades narrowly missed Li Chen, whistling past his form.
"Screech—"
One of the Battle Blades managed to graze Li Chen's waist, drawing forth a streak of crimson blood.
A ghastly wound materialized between Li Chen's waist and abdomen, nearly bisecting his torso.
However, disregarding the pain in that moment, he impulsively surged forward to confront the Purple Armored Immortal Emperor head-on.
"Slaughter!"
The Purple Armored Immortal Emperor, choosing not to evade at that critical juncture, instead directed the two Battle Blades to unleash a devastating torrent of blade light, raining down upon Li Chen.
It was evident that if Li Chen were truly ensnared within the onslaught of blade light generated by these two Battle Blades, he would likely be reduced to mere fragments of flesh in an instant. Conversely, if he were to halt his advance, the Purple Armored Immortal Emperor would remain, as on previous occasions, completely unharmed.
It was precisely this dilemma that had prevented Li Chen from successfully closing the distance with the Purple Armored Immortal Emperor.
And in engagements fought at a distance, his disadvantage was even more pronounced.
His adversary, after all, was an expert of the Immortal Emperor level; whether it involved Immortal Art Laws or potent magic treasures, Li Chen found himself resolutely suppressed.
Although Bai Tianyi's cultivation base was superior, this realm was not the Heaven Realm, and Bai Tianyi, since commencing her cultivation journey, had never acquired any offensive techniques. She could only manage to alleviate some of the pressure on Li Chen, posing no genuine threat to the Immortal Emperor.
Naturally, the prospect of that Immortal Emperor harboring any designs of harming Bai Tianyi was entirely out of the question.
As the overwhelming wave of blade light descended, Li Chen abruptly raised his head, a peculiar glint flickering within his eyes.
"Procrastination leads to change; I cannot afford to leave you behind."
"Boom!!"
An uncountable multitude of blade lights suddenly enveloped Li Chen, ceaselessly descending upon him.
Observing Li Chen completely submerged within the blinding storm of blade lights, the Purple Armored Immortal Emperor let out a quiet sigh of relief.
Finally, vanquished.
At last, this monstrous anomaly has been slain.
For some inexplicable reason, it was the first time since his advancement to the Soul Realm that he felt 'fortunate' to have slain a Domain Realm expert.
This particular Domain Realm cultivator was extraordinarily terrifying.
His physical body possessed unparalleled strength, his attacks reached the caliber of the Soul Realm, and he wielded a Domain!
Most crucially, upon this formidable Domain Realm expert, he also discovered the most infamous and supreme law: the Law of Time!
Compared to the Law of Space, the Law of Time was both rarer and more daunting.
Each cultivator who mastered the Law of Time was an incredibly troublesome and fearsome existence!
"Luckily... he was only a Domain Realm." The Purple Armored Immortal Emperor secretly rejoiced.
He was certain that if this young man ascended to the Soul Realm, even as merely an Immortal Venerable, he would undoubtedly no longer be a match for him.
Utterly terrifying!
"Hmm?"
The blade light's destructive onslaught persisted for a considerable duration without dissipation, leaving the Purple Armored Immortal Emperor feeling a twinge of bewilderment.
"Impossible, surely? Could he still be alive? Even with his astonishing self-healing capabilities, surviving such fragmentation is utterly out of the question..."
The Purple Armored Immortal Emperor mused to himself, attempting to reinforce his conviction.
Then, he observed a slight movement from the entity engulfed by the blade light emanating from the Battle Blades.
It was drawing closer, inching nearer.
Unbelievable?!
Truly not dead?!
"Immortal Law—Extinction!"
"Immortal Law—Annihilation!"
Two Immortal Laws erupted simultaneously, the aura of death instantly suffocating the entire space, like a pair of unfolding wings of death, pressing towards the storm formed by the blade light.
"Deadly Gang Wind!"
The assault was not yet over; the Purple Armored Immortal Emperor once again summoned that massive pouch, releasing strands of dark Gang Wind that tore through space, binding the region anew and frantically shredding everything within.
And as the primary target of this barrage... Li Chen appeared somewhat pale.
Although he understood that capture by the opponent would likely result in a dreadful fate, he was still taken aback by the Immortal Emperor's mighty offensive.
Even through the protection of the Three Lives Everything Armor, Li Chen could feel the terrifying Destructive Force transmitting from the outside.
That formidable Destructive Force was relentlessly tearing at his body.
Had he not undergone Body Refinement, he might have been shocked to death despite wearing the Three Lives Everything Armor.
"Boss, what do we do now?"
"What to do?" Li Chen inquired of the Bagua Array Diagram, "Eight, is your Void Surveillance Array established, ensuring no one else is nearby?"
"Confirmed, within a radius of ten thousand miles, there are no other presences detected."
"Then do I need to ask?" Li Chen raised his hand, unleashing a slash with Wordless, directly tearing open a rift within the overwhelming attack, and stepped through.
Concurrently, eight Heavenly Dao Pearls materialized behind Li Chen, revolving serenely.
"Hit him!!"
