My gorgeous wife Chapter 1999 - 1967: Taboo

Li Chen had navigated a sea of trials since his debut.

He transformed from an innocent youth into the formidable mercenary king, the sovereign of the Netherworld. From a wandering soul, he evolved into a resolute hero, ascending from a humble junior martial artist to an invincible powerhouse capable of felling experts in the Soul Realm.

The burdens he carried were immense.

No matter the trials endured, the battles waged, or the blood that stained his hands, a sacred, inviolable sanctuary remained within his heart.

If rivals sought his end, Li Chen would meet them head-on, fighting fair, or retreating if outmatched.

However, should his family face harm, he would relentlessly pursue their lives, sparing nothing in the process!

This unwavering resolve meant employing any means necessary. Whether through cunning schemes or treacherous traps, any tactic that could eliminate the threat to his cherished sanctuary would be employed.

For in such moments, Li Chen shed reason, becoming a force of pure, unadulterated fury!

"Who dares lay a hand on my son?!"

This thunderous declaration reverberated through the surroundings, reaching the ears of every cultivator present.

Simultaneously, they felt the surge of Li Chen's enraged, unhinged aura.

Even with his cultivation confined to the Domain Realm, this furious aura created an illusion of overwhelming dominance, as if it could sweep aside all obstacles.

It seemed as though anything daring to impede him would be obliterated by this sheer power.

High above, Netherworld and Bai Shi also registered this formidable voice.

A moment of stunned disbelief gave way to expressions of overwhelming joy.

"It's the boss!" Bai Shi exclaimed with unrestrained delight. "It's really the boss, and he's here!"

Netherworld, though outwardly calmer, visibly struggled to contain his emotions, his eyes glistening with unshed tears.

In the ensuing moment, a streak of silver light flashed, and Li Chen emerged directly from a spatial rift.

"Boss..." Bai Shi called out, his initial excitement abruptly cut short as his expression shifted to one of urgent warning, "Be careful!"

Li Chen, too, perceived the potent force advancing from behind them, its palpable killing intent igniting a volcanic rage within him.

"Begone!!"

With Li Chen's furious roar, the Red Moon materialized in his grasp, and a piercing black blade light erupted with his sweeping strike.

His initial assault was a direct, lethal blow.

The aggressor sought the lives of Netherworld and Bai Shi; in return, Li Chen sought the aggressor's life!

The Silent Slash unleashed a tempest of destructive fury, propagating through the very fabric of this realm, causing space itself to buckle and fracture under its might.

Countless onlookers, scattered throughout the vicinity, gazed upwards in sheer terror at the colossal, world-shattering force descending from the heavens.

Even some seasoned Soul Realm experts mused that, stripped of their cultivation advantages, they would likely falter against such an overwhelming strike.

"Hmm?"

Even the enigmatic entity residing within the shadows registered a significant shift in its demeanor.

"Law of Destruction?" the shadowy being shrieked in disbelief. "How is this conceivable? Aside from my own kind, how could any other entity command the very essence of the Law of Destruction?!"

Regardless of its contemplation, the silent blade light had already surged forward, aimed directly at it.

The terrifying Law of Destruction rent through space, time, and every impediment in its path, powerfully countering the lethal strike emanating from the shadowy entity!

The entity employed the Law of Destruction as well, yet it was profoundly astonished that the Law of Destruction imbued within Li Chen's blade far surpassed its own in both depth and potency!

"Destroyer!"

Witnessing his blade light cleaving through the manifestation of the Law of Destruction, Li Chen's eyes narrowed, flashing with two terrifying points of light.

Understanding the adversary's true nature, Li Chen's resolve intensified, becoming even more unyielding.

The Silent Slash was, indeed, a technique of immense power; in former times, such a devastating strike would leave Li Chen severely depleted for an extended period.

Yet, at this juncture, he had attained a newfound pinnacle of strength.

While the Silent Slash represented a formidable move, it was merely the prelude to his full, unrestrained power!

"Go!"

Without affording Bai Shi and Netherworld the opportunity for further words, Li Chen conjured a spatial rift, unceremoniously ushering them through its passage.

As the two figures vanished, a torrent of devastating power erupted once more in Li Chen's immediate vicinity.

"Domain—Selflessness!"

The instant Li Chen's domain unfurled, the shadowy entity contemplated immediate retreat.

This was not solely due to Li Chen's formidable strength, but rather the sheer enigma of this newly emerged individual, wielding the unique Law of Destruction!

Furthermore, the entity was not operating at its full capacity; its physical form harbored a more terrifying entity, siphoning its energy and drastically limiting its power in this place.

Under such compromised conditions, confronting such an unfathomable opponent was undeniably imprudent.

"Destruction—Black Sentence!"

As the shadow extended its arms, a spectral axe materialized, poised to intercept Li Chen's blazing blade light directly.

"Crack! Crack!"

A flash of the blade met the brutal clash of a gray axe, their opposing Laws of Destruction canceling each other out, plunging the surrounding space into utter disarray.

As a fleeting shadow darted away, it attempted to seize this moment to make its escape.

However, Li Chen had already fixed his gaze upon the figure and moved with the same instant the shadow did.

"Attempting to flee?!"

Li Chen expanded his domain, advancing a vast distance with a single stride, instantly closing the gap between himself and the fleeing shadow.

Due to the current chaotic state of the space, reckless use of the Space Law could prove perilous, potentially stranding oneself in unknown locales. Yet, such risks did not apply within his domain.

Within Li Chen's domain, he reigned supreme, possessing the ability to materialize at any point within its bounds at his absolute discretion.

"Five Elements Xuanxiao Slash!"

A second strike of the blade erupted forth, unleashing an unrelenting tempest that swept across the heavens, effectively sealing off every conceivable avenue of escape for the shadow.

At this juncture, the shadowy being managed to regain a sliver of composure, fixing Li Chen with a frigid glare. "My reluctance to engage does not equate to fear of you. You would do well to consider the repercussions of provoking me!"

"I have already considered them," Li Chen replied with a sinister grin. "If you dare lay a hand on my son or my friends, I shall annihilate you!"

Certain lines, boundaries, and taboos must never be crossed!

Upon hearing Li Chen's words, uttered with a hint of wild abandon, even the entity concealed within the shadow couldn't help but betray a slight flicker of surprise in its gaze.

From whence did this madman emerge?

He was merely in pursuit, not actively seeking to end their lives; was such extreme desperation truly warranted?
