My gorgeous wife Chapter 2000 - 1968: Supreme Treasures Unleashed

"What is unfolding? Is some kind of battle occurring?"

The immense commotion Li Chen was causing proved impossible for onlookers to ignore.

Upon sensing the disturbance, a multitude of individuals couldn't refrain from investigating, abandoning their current pursuits of scavenging the surrounding areas.

After all, battles seldom ignite without a compelling reason.

On one hand, they were curious to witness the combatants, and on the other, there was always the slim possibility that someone had unearthed a world-shattering treasure, thereby instigating the conflict.

For these cultivators, the specific cause held little consequence; in this desolate locale, time was not a pressing concern. They could casually observe, with the added potential of stumbling upon something of immense value, perhaps even striking the ultimate jackpot.

However, as the numerous cultivators converged and beheld the scene that lay before them, a collective gasp of astonishment rippled through the crowd.

"What is this spectacle?"

"In this place, is everyone’s cultivation not suppressed below the Domain Realm? Is this the Domain Realm in action?"

"Do not utter such nonsense! If this level of might constitutes the Domain Realm, I shall gladly sever my own head for your amusement! Even in my full might as an Immortal Venerable, I could not confidently withstand such an onslaught!"

Observing the terrifying maelstrom unfolding in the heavens, the cultivators gathered below couldn't suppress the profound apprehension etched onto their faces.

While it’s true that most experts in the Soul Realm, when suppressed to the Domain Realm, can unleash power exceeding that level, the surplus is typically quite restricted. Yet, the spectacle unfolding above instilled a deep sense of vigilance in them.

This was because the sheer magnitude of power being unleashed was already sufficient to obliterate an ordinary Soul Realm expert.

Bai Shi and Netherworld, witnessing this display, were equally taken aback.

"The boss is truly something else; after years apart, he has become even more formidable," Bai Shi remarked with a wry smile, a hint of bitterness in his tone.

Netherworld remained silent, but the profound depth of his gaze conveyed his unspoken thoughts.

"Father."

Floating high in the sky, Li Chen stood resolute, showing no inclination to allow the shadowy figure before him to escape his grasp.

Even if outright annihilation proved impossible, he was determined to instill a memory so profound that it would forever haunt his adversary, ensuring they learned their lesson!

"Seven Slaying Sword!!"

Echoing Li Chen’s powerful declaration, his longsword, imbued with an ominous Qi, ascended towards the heavens like a vengeful spirit.

Employing his Immortal Artifact Manipulation Technique, Li Chen directly commanded the Seven Slaying Sword, unleashing a devastating slash against the shadow, which was enmeshed within the powerful vortex of Wind Roar.

The sheer destructive force of the Seven Slaying Sword’s Qi surpassed all expectations.

Even Primordial Heavy Water had once acknowledged that, in terms of raw destructive power alone, the Seven Slaying Sword rivaled that of a Supreme Treasure. However, a significant drawback accompanied its immense might; should one falter in their control, the malevolent Qi harbored within could easily backfire, transforming its wielder into a bloodthirsty monster fixated solely on slaughter.

Li Chen’s eyes burned with a crimson hue, yet beneath the surface, an icy resolve pulsed.

Forged through countless trials of life and death, Li Chen’s Dao Heart had long ago solidified into an unshakeable foundation, impervious to the corrupting influence of the Seven Slaying Sword’s Qi.

This minor mental assault was utterly insignificant against Li Chen’s resolute spirit!

Unbeknownst to the observers, within Li Chen’s perception, the illusory onslaught manifested as a horrifying vista of endless carnage – a boundless expanse of slaughter and death, all conjured by the Seven Slaying Sword’s pervasive malevolence.

Yet, Li Chen faced these phantasmal terrors without so much as a flicker of fear.

"Break!"

With Li Chen’s guttural command, the entire illusory realm imploded, shattering into fragments.

The Seven Slaying Sword undoubtedly stood as a pinnacle treasure of the killing path, meticulously nurtured by malevolent Qi. However, Li Chen himself had personally traversed through literal mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

To put it mildly, during the climactic battle within the Remnant Cloud Forest, even Li Chen himself had lost count of the sheer number of Demon Race cultivators he had annihilated.

The bodies had piled so high they formed veritable mountains, necessitating strategic breaks just to clear the accumulated carnage. While the Seven Slaying Sword’s influence was potent, it proved insufficient to topple Li Chen’s steadfast Mind Spirit!

Or perhaps, more accurately, the duration of its influence was simply too brief!

Against a backdrop of soaring Sword Qi, a tempest of destructive energy surged forward, aimed directly at the swirling storm.

Even the entity concealed within the shadow’s form displayed a subtle shift in its demeanor upon confronting this rampaging, destructive Sword Qi.

"What is this now? Its destructive force is comparable to the Law of Destruction! Damn it, after vanishing for so many years, what has become of this world? Why are there so many monsters appearing?!" the shadowed figure bellowed in frustration, desperately channeling its power to counter the terrifying Sword Qi.

An unimaginably potent surge of energy erupted from the shadow’s form. The instant this power manifested, it felt as though the very fabric of reality was on the verge of collapsing.

Numerous cultivators observing from below turned ashen, some even succumbing to the ground, collapsing in sheer terror.

"What... what is this power?"

"World-Destroying Power? Are we... are we going to die?"

Not merely the onlookers, but even Li Chen's expression shifted dramatically upon perceiving this immense force.

Sensing this overwhelming power, Li Chen felt like a minuscule ant confronting the vast expanse of the cosmos. The colossal disparity in strength nearly compelled him to turn and flee.

"Not a chance!"

At that critical juncture, a woman's voice emanated from the depths of the shadow.

The terrifying aura vanished as quickly as it appeared, retracting as if it had never manifested, and the shadow's power reverted to its prior state.

The shadow appeared enraged as well: "This time, just remain obediently subdued!"

The dread-inducing aura surged once more, forcefully tamping down the woman's voice until it weakened.

The instant this terrifying aura erupted, Li Chen's Five Elements Wind Roar technique seemed as fragile as tissue paper, the entirety of the storm being instantly shredded apart.

"You insignificant creature, you have successfully provoked my ire!"

The shadow turned its gaze on Li Chen, a chilling light glinting within its eyes.

At this precise moment, Li Chen finally caught a clear glimpse of the shadow's true form.

Upon witnessing the other's appearance, Li Chen could not suppress his astonishment.

"You are..."

Before Li Chen could complete his utterance, he observed a change in the other's demeanor, and a hand was suddenly raised, striking forcefully against its own chest.

"Boom!!"

A devastating torrent of power was unleashed. Even with the formidable strength residing within the shadow, it was violently impacted by the recoil of its own action, plummeting from the sky like a falling meteor and crashing devastatingly onto the ground.

"Don't just stand there, hand over that Jade Flute you possess!" The woman's voice resonated once more.

Startled, Li Chen, without a second thought, immediately presented the Jade Flute.

The Jade Flute flashed and landed directly into the shadow's grasp.

At this instant, the woman's triumphant shout echoed.

"Still trying to suppress me? Let's see who ends up suppressing whom this time!!"

The Jade Flute, which Li Chen had perceived as devoid of any divine essence or power, suddenly blazed with an intense, brilliant light.

The luminosity of this radiance was so potent that it illuminated the entire surrounding landscape, engulfing the heavens and earth in an utterly blinding white light.

Even those cultivation powerhouses within the nearby Domain Realm found themselves completely sightless, unable to perceive anything.

"What is happening? What has occurred?"

"Damn it, I can't see! Run!"

"This place is too dangerous to remain; we might get caught in this, quickly, let's go!"

One by one, the assembled experts began to fall into a state of panic, relying on their divine sense to barely discern a path forward and fleeing with all their might.

Any thoughts of opportunistic gains had completely evaporated; the terrifying scale of this conflict had vastly exceeded their wildest expectations.

Neither party engaged in this confrontation could be trifled with.

This realization struck them with particular force when they recalled that one side was the young Array Master who had previously carved a path for them through the valley, causing their hearts to turn cold involuntarily.

Among them, numerous individuals had harbored malicious intentions towards this Array Master. Now, they were profoundly grateful that they had refrained from acting, lest they have already become lifeless corpses.

As for the other combatant, obscured by shadow and unrecognizable, their identity remained unknown. However, there was no doubt that it was an immensely powerful entity capable of dispatching them with effortless ease!

Even Bai Shi and Netherworld were rendered blind by the blinding light at this moment.

Yet, the two harbored no anxiety, for they detected Li Chen's voice close to their ears.

"Full defense!"

Following Li Chen's command, they felt a gentle yet firm force envelop them.

The Three Lives Everything Armor materialized around their heads, and a soft, nine-colored luminescence became the world's most impenetrable defense!

Li Chen drew a deep breath.

He suspected he was among the very few, perhaps only himself besides the shadow, who could still see amidst the chaos.

During their earlier exchange, he had also sensed the other's peculiar state.

"Attack me with all your might, even destroy this body if necessary; once this body is annihilated, he will lose his anchor and be forced to retreat," the woman's voice instructed.

"And what about you?" Li Chen inquired.

The woman's voice offered no reply, falling into a profound silence.

Li Chen spoke no further. Instead, he quietly began to mobilize his internal power.

One Supreme Treasure after another emerged from his body. This was a formidable opponent, one that even the Regretless Mountain Range could not subdue. If not for the woman diverting the other's attention, Li Chen would have no idea how many more blows he could endure.

Destroying the other's physical form was no simple feat.

Li Chen was now out of options.

Supreme Treasures flew out from Li Chen's body in succession; this marked the second occasion Li Chen had fought utilizing the full might of his treasures!

Primordial Heavy Water poured forth, transforming into a dark, flowing river that bore down intensely upon the shadow below. It carried the terrifying pressure of a collapsing sky, causing the very land to buckle and fracture even before reaching its surface.

"Boundless Sea!"

Endowed with immeasurable weight, the Primordial Heavy Water pressed down with relentless force.
