My gorgeous wife Chapter 1936: 1905: Red Dust Heavenly King (Part 10)

Li Chen’s expression grew serious.

Faced with such a fearsome offensive weapon, he found himself at a loss for what to do.

He could choose to strike at the Purple Armored Immortal Emperor first, but doing so would expose him to the Slaying Sword's attack.

Even with the Three Lives Everything Armor equipped, Li Chen couldn’t guarantee it would block a single strike from that weapon.

The presence of Evil Qi wasn't a new phenomenon for Li Chen.

Even if it couldn't kill him, an invasion of its Evil Qi would undoubtedly affect his consciousness. As it was, even before the sword descended, his Divine Soul was already being impacted.

Having this weapon's Evil Qi infiltrate one's body would be a profoundly troublesome predicament!

The direst outcome wouldn't be death, but rather being corrupted by the Evil Qi and transforming into a monstrous entity solely driven by slaughter.

Therefore, even Li Chen, who typically embraced risks, hesitated to gamble in this situation.

To deal with the Purple Armored Immortal Emperor, the Slaying Sword had to be subdued first!

The Purple Armored Immortal Emperor coughed several times, glancing at Li Chen with a peculiar smile.

“Three Lives Everything Armor? If even a sliver of the Seven Slaying Sword’s Evil Qi contaminates you, you’re finished. This Seven Slaying Sword is incredibly difficult to control; surely the strain of managing a Supreme Treasure yourself is greater than mine, correct? How long can you possibly endure, kid from the Domain Realm!”

Observing Li Chen, the Purple Armored Immortal Emperor didn't cease his assault. Instead, he summoned another magic treasure, unleashing both the artifact and Immortal Techniques to bombard Li Chen.

The Seven Slaying Sword, coupled with a fully committed Immortal Emperor!

This is precisely why, even within the Four Realms, an Immortal is regarded as a paramount existence!

Because the might of a single Immortal can give one the overwhelming sensation of being besieged by many!

Li Chen was experiencing the full force of an Immortal's power.

“Old Nine, attack!”

Li Chen no longer wavered, directly summoning the Heavenly Dao Pearl.

As the Purple Armored Immortal Emperor had surmised, wielding a Supreme Treasure placed an immense burden on Li Chen. Escaping the onslaught of attacks had depleted a significant amount of Li Chen’s Yuan Force. Despite his reserves being more than ten times that of an ordinary Immortal King, enduring such terrifying consumption was becoming increasingly challenging.

During his previous duel with Zhang Lu, although several Supreme Treasures were involved, their operation largely depended on mutual understanding, unleashing their power instinctively. This was vastly different from the current situation, where he was actively wielding Supreme Treasures in combat.

Wielding two Supreme Treasures simultaneously represented the utmost limit of Li Chen's current cultivation.

Eight beads, radiating a dark luster, ascended into the sky, forming a colossal vortex that spun, absorbing the Purple Armored Immortal Emperor’s relentless barrage of attacks.

“Could this be…” The Purple Armored Immortal Emperor’s entire body shuddered involuntarily.

“Nine Palaces Heavenly Bead!!” The Purple Armored Immortal Emperor cried out sharply; he finally understood.

He finally grasped who he was up against.

“Years ago, it was whispered that within Wen Jutian's Immortal Treasure Realm, a cultivator possessing multiple Supreme Treasures appeared, drawing the attention of countless formidable figures. Initially, I dismissed it as mere hearsay, but to think it was actually true.” The Purple Armored Immortal Emperor’s hands trembled uncontrollably.

“So, you possess other…”

“Nine Palaces Annihilating Path!”

Without allowing the Purple Armored Immortal Emperor another moment to speak, the swirling Nine Palaces Heavenly Bead generated a terrifying grinding force, advancing towards the Purple Armored Immortal Emperor as if intent on pulverizing him into mere dust.

The Purple Armored Immortal Emperor fell silent.

At this juncture, he could almost confirm that Li Chen was indeed the legendary individual. It was an unexpected encounter, and in the Ancient Battle Realm, no less.

If he could manage to slay Li Chen, all the treasures and secrets he possessed would become his.

“I, Purple Inscription, shall ultimately ascend to the apex of this Starry Universe!!”

With a fierce roar, the Purple Armored Immortal Emperor shed all reservations, burning his cultivation along with his Domain to forcibly counter the terrifying grinding power generated by the Heavenly Dao Pearl outside his body.

His objective was simple: to hold on just a little longer, to last until Li Chen was dispatched by the Seven Slaying Sword.

No matter how potent a Supreme Treasure might be, without its rightful wielder, it was merely an inanimate object.

And he, Purple Inscription, would be the new master of these Supreme Treasures!!

He too would secure a place among the supreme powerhouses of the Starry Universe!

…

“Kill!!!”

Despite the Purple Inscription being subdued by the Heavenly Dao Pearl, the faint sounds of slaughter from the Seven Slaying Sword before Li Chen could still be heard. This sound pierced directly into his heart, agitating Li Chen's emotions.

His blood-red eyes, initially perfectly tranquil, now held a growing hint of irritation.

“Bang!!”

With a sudden slap to his own chest, tasting a metallic tang, Li Chen expelled a mouthful of thick blood, and his blood-red irises finally regained their calm.

“This artifact's influence on the mind and spirit is far too potent. If it’s not dealt with swiftly, who knows how long this battle might drag on, or if someone might stumble upon this location…”

Li Chen let out a sigh.

Just then, the black Sword Qi from the sky began to descend.

Abruptly, Li Chen tilted his head up, extending his left hand towards the falling Sword Qi.

“Time—Stagnation!”

Concurrently, the Red Moon clutched in Li Chen’s hand gave a sudden tremble.

“Cease Spear!”

“Buzz!!”

The terrifying, boundless black Sword Qi of slaughter was forcibly halted in mid-air by Li Chen's action.

However, the visibly vibrating Sword Qi indicated that it would not take long to break through Li Chen's Cease Spear.

At this very moment, the Seven Slaying Sword shifted once more, executing another sideways slash towards Li Chen.

Wherever the black Sword Qi traversed, only void remained.

Even space itself was ripped apart.

Yet, this Sword Qi did not enter the spatial rift but instead carved directly through the dark fissure, cleaving towards Li Chen.

Li Chen drew in a deep breath, his complexion visibly pale.

But his hands did not falter in the slightest.

“Wordless!!”

The Power of Destruction transformed into a blade of gray light, surging from the blood-colored blade, and swept towards the incoming black Sword Qi.

A silent force erupted from the point where the Sword Qi and blade light met, expanding with a sudden burst.

Space fractured, piece by piece, revealing the stark darkness of the void.

The spatial fabric of the Ancient Battle Realm was remarkably stable, even surpassing the Four Great Realms, making the creation of spatial breaches exceedingly difficult. Yet, now, the very space seemed to tear like paper, fragmenting before their eyes.

This was the clash between the Power of Destruction and pure, unadulterated killing intent.

In that instant, Li Chen’s expression shifted dramatically, a silver glint flashing as he swiftly dodged to the side.

But he was still a fraction too late.

A faint, dark, ferocious light zipped past Li Chen, just grazing his Three Lives Everything Armor and eliciting a piercingly loud roar.
