My gorgeous wife Chapter 1940: 1909: The Differences Between the Red Dust Heavenly King and the Mad Celestial Sovereign

With the devastating Wind Roar strike, Li Chen's Domain was completely shattered, rendering it impossible to reform in a short period.

Consequently, the assembled Martial Artists were unaware that Li Chen still possessed a Domain. He made no move to block their probing Divine Senses, allowing them to naturally make contact with the Seven Slaying Sword.

However, the instant their Divine Sense brushed against the Seven Slaying Sword, nearly everyone experienced an astonishing surge of Evil Qi invading their Consciousness Sea. It felt as though their very minds were being dismantled.

Many turned ashen, hastily withdrawing their Divine Sense to stabilize their Sea of Consciousness. They were taken aback by the potency of this Evil Qi, realizing they might have faced peril if they hadn't been cautious.

Upon regaining their composure and looking back at Li Chen, their expressions underwent a complete transformation.

They observed that the Slaying Sword was clearly unclaimed, untouched by Li Chen's refining process. This led to a single, undeniable conclusion.

This Slaying Sword was once wielded by the very Immortal Emperor he had slain!

Yet, possessing such a formidable treasure, the opponent had still fallen before him. How incredibly powerful must this individual be within the Talent Domain Realm?

Recalling the terrifying tempest that had just subsided, a palpable shadow and dread grew within several Celestial Sovereigns.

Despite suffering this silent loss, none dared to voice a single complaint.

“Everyone, I am aware of the circumstances,” Li Chen announced, standing in mid-air and refusing the assistance offered by those nearby. He addressed the gathered Martial Artists with a calm demeanor. “I am grateful for you all taking time from your demanding schedules to offer your aid. This kindness, I, Li Chen, accept with sincere thanks. Should you ever require my assistance in the future, please do not hesitate to ask.”

“You are too gracious!”

“Red Dust Heavenly King, you are too kind. We hardly contributed anything; you vanquished the enemy yourself.”

“Indeed, we merely added to the commotion. Red Dust Heavenly King, there is no need to keep us in mind.”

A chorus of Martial Artists responded with polite haste.

This was the undeniable effect of immense power. Had Li Chen been a mere ordinary Heavenly King, these individuals, particularly the Celestial Sovereigns, would likely have paid him little heed.

However, the sheer strength Li Chen had demonstrated commanded the respect of every person present!

Even though he was still just a Heavenly King!

“That may be so,” Li Chen replied with a nod. “Had I been unable to match that Immortal Emperor just now, your presence would have undoubtedly saved my life. I understand the meaning of gratitude and grudges; if I say I will remember it, I shall. If there is ever anything I can assist you with, feel free to reach out.”

The formidable warriors nodded in agreement, a smile gracing their faces upon hearing Li Chen's words.

Li Chen's conduct brought them a sense of ease; his power was overwhelming, yet he wielded it without arrogance, nor did he possess the overbearing nature of his father, making interactions remarkably pleasant.

Consequently, their avarice towards Li Chen's treasures significantly waned.

They understood that Li Chen was likely at his weakest point, presenting the most opportune moment to act.

Once this window of opportunity passed, and Li Chen’s strength returned, moving against him would prove far more challenging.

After all, Li Chen not only possessed a Supreme Treasure, but he had also, before their very eyes, acquired such a terrifying Slaying Sword. Anyone contemplating exploiting him would surely need to carefully assess their own capabilities, wouldn't they?

Behind Li Chen, Li Changkong and Li Bihai exchanged glances, clearly reflecting their mutual surprise.

Perhaps due to their differing life experiences, if it had been Li Changcun in this situation, he would have curtly dismissed everyone and ordered the warriors to leave.

Li Changcun's inherent assertiveness was deeply ingrained, and maintaining such an attitude while weakened could easily breed resentment and potentially incite a collective assault.

However, Li Chen's approach to life and his demeanor were markedly different from Li Changcun's.

This might stem from Li Chen's rise from humble beginnings and his experience overseeing the Palace of the Nether King, ruling over countless individuals, which likely fostered a more nuanced approach.

A sense of relief washed over the two brothers.

Their father's overly assertive nature had always caused them concern, fearing the day he would provoke enough dissatisfaction among powerful individuals to warrant a combined attack against him.

While the two brothers were somewhat more diplomatic, their strength was insufficient to significantly influence matters. As for You Xue, her situation was even less impactful.

The arrival of this third brother seemed to fill a crucial diplomatic void within the Li Family…

Considering the connection between Li Chen and the Li Family, the two brothers couldn’t help but let out a wry smile.

While Li Chen displayed no outright rejection towards them, he equally hadn't committed to an acceptance.

It seemed this matter had become a lingering concern, and the resolution timeline remained uncertain.

“Fellow cultivators, I have just endured a strenuous battle and require time to recover. Unless it is of utmost urgency, I will not be entertaining visitors today. Let us reconvene in the Heaven Realm at a future date to reciprocate your kindness, how does that sound?” Li Chen addressed the assembled powerful warriors with a gentle tone.

This was, in essence, a polite dismissal.

All present grasped Li Chen’s intent immediately.

Having just concluded a fierce conflict, coupled with the revelation of possessing a Supreme Treasure, his situation had undoubtedly become precarious.

With this realization dawning upon them, the gathered individuals did not prolong their stay. They offered clasps of their hands in farewell, expressing their intent to meet again in the Heaven Realm before preparing to depart.

As they were on the verge of leaving, many cast reluctant glances towards the Slaying Sword held by Li Chen.

However, what occupied their thoughts even more prominently was the Nine Palaces Heavenly Bead, one of the Nine Great Treasures, now in Li Chen’s possession.

Nevertheless, by this point, most had abandoned any designs on it.

Let alone facing the Mad Celestial Sovereign, even this Red Dust Heavenly King was not someone to be trifled with lightly.

“Huh?”

Just as the group was about to take their leave, a small aperture abruptly manifested in the space near a few individuals, and a Command Arrow materialized beside them as if from thin air.

“Void Order Arrow?”

The Ancient Battle Realm was known for its unpredictability, and with threats lurking at every turn, it was not uncommon for individuals to establish mutual contacts.

However, this instance saw the Void Order Arrow dispatched not to a single recipient, but to numerous individuals within the crowd.

Glancing downwards, Li Changkong spotted a Mechanical Mole directly beneath him.

“Someone is employing a Mechanical Mole as well? What is this about?”

Li Bihai picked up the Mechanical Mole with evident curiosity and simultaneously observed many other Martial Artists receiving Void Order Arrows.

The simultaneous dissemination of information to so many, accompanied by the appearance of a Mechanical Mole, strongly suggested a unified message was being conveyed.

But what manner of individual would expend such significant effort to notify such a large group?

Driven by curiosity, Li Bihai retrieved the Jade Slip from the Mechanical Mole and, for the benefit of those nearby, projected the contents of the Jade Slip into the surrounding void.

“The Four Emperors Territory has surfaced within the Ancient Battle Realm! Powerful cultivators from across the Three Realms are converging; compatriots of the Heaven Realm, heed this call and provide immediate assistance!!!”
