My gorgeous wife Chapter 2001 - 1969: Annihilation!
Previously on My gorgeous wife...
As Li Chen’s reputation became widespread, it became known that Li Chen possessed powerful treasures.
However, what these treasures precisely were, or how many he held, remained a mystery to most, if not all.
In the eyes of others, acquiring even a single supreme treasure was a blessing from the heavens; possessing several potent artifacts simultaneously was practically unheard of.
Even the legendary Supremes of ancient times never managed to collect all Nine Great Treasures.
And Li Chen, being merely a warrior of the small Domain Realm, could only have come into possession of one through sheer luck.
Yet, even a single such item was enough to ignite envy in many, sparking a desire to claim Li Chen’s treasure.
Their reasoning was simple: eliminate Li Chen, and the treasure would be theirs. The specific nature of the treasure hardly mattered; they could identify it once they had it in hand.
Little did anyone know, or even suspect, the sheer multitude of treasures Li Chen actually possessed.
This was beyond the imagination of others, and certainly un foreseen by the shadowy existence lurking in the depths.
Upon witnessing the treasures unleash their unparalleled might and bear down upon them, even the shadowy entity succumbed to panic.
"This... How can this be? How could one person possibly wield so many treasures?"
"It’s impossible! I refuse to believe it!!"
"Whether you believe it or not, your end is nigh today." The woman's voice gradually emerged, possessing an ethereal quality, yet laced with an inexplicable sorrow.
"My doomsday? If you were to release me, even with these treasures, my current body's strength would be more than enough to break free! You don't wish to perish, do you?! Release me, let me go!!" the shadowy existence bellowed.
"I have yearned for this day, for countless years; do you truly believe I would let you go?" the woman's voice calmly responded.
The shadow roared in fury, "You court death!! Furthermore, even if you perish, I shall not. Have you forgotten? I am the Law; even if this vessel is destroyed, I can reconstitute myself as the Law, find new vessels! I am eternal!"
At this juncture, a voice descended from the heavens.
"Should I interpret your words as a sign of disrespect towards the authority of these treasures?" The chilling voice of Primordial Heavy Water resonated.
"A mere remnant soul dares to boast; if your true form were present, perhaps there would be something to contend with. However, if even you cannot be extinguished, then we would hardly be worthy of the title 'treasures'." The Five Elements Boots, after sealing the surrounding space, reverted to their form and sneered coldly.
The shadow surged upwards; its cultivation was severely hampered, preventing it from unleashing its full power. As the treasures had stated, it could not withstand the true might of their combined force.
Yet, as it rose, it despaired to realize that a Heavenly Net had already been cast; escape was impossible.
No matter which direction it turned, a mocking figure stood its ground.
That figure belonged to the Five Elements Boots, possessing the ultimate speed in this world!
And if the Five Elements Boots could hold it for even a moment, the Bagua Array Diagram could reinforce the sealing power of the runes once more. The world was utterly entrapped; it had become a caged bird with no means of egress.
"Damn it! Damn it!!!"
The shadow thundered its rage.
To achieve a specific degree of control, it had remained concealed for countless years, only managing to gain a slight advantage through relentless struggle, suppressing the divine soul within the body to seize control.
Unexpectedly, upon its emergence, it confronted such an insurmountable crisis.
How could it not be consumed by anger?
What did it mean by not succeeding in its initial launch?
This was it!
"No! I cannot perish here! I must grow stronger, infinitely powerful, and then challenge my true self for dominance! How can I possibly die here?!" The shadowy existence let out a furious howl, and a mass of black-gray smoke billowed forth, coalescing into a dark cloud.
This ominous cloud pulsed with the aura of the Law of Destruction, radiating an energy that threatened to annihilate anything it touched.
The black cloud then transformed into a swift arrow, hurtling in a specific direction.
Amidst the runes, Li Chen’s tightly clenched fist relaxed slightly. Witnessing the emergence of the black cloud and its apparent desperate struggle, his expression remained unfazed. Instead, a breath of relief escaped his lips.
"Finally, you've revealed yourself."
With a mere wave of his hand, the shadowy figure vanished from its location, instantly reappearing within the iridescent protective barrier of the Three Lives Everything Armor.
"Take care of her." Li Chen's voice commanded.
At this moment, the shadow dissipated, and the figure concealed within finally became visible.
It was a woman, a woman of breathtaking beauty, possessing an ethereal grace. Her eyes, usually bright and lively, were now clouded with profound exhaustion.
Li Chen could have unleashed the treasures sooner, but he deliberately held back, making the Doomsday Beast Soul feel as though the heavens were collapsing, yet the blow never came; this drawn-out oppressive force was even more agonizing than a direct strike.
The Doomsday Beast Soul, initially lacking its own sentience, gradually developed a will of its own during its possession and evolution.
Regardless of its nature, this will could not escape the universal seven emotions and six desires that afflict all life.
Li Chen meticulously cultivated fear and despair within the Doomsday Beast Soul, sustaining this torment for an extended period, finally compelling the creature to reveal itself.
A fierce grin spread across Li Chen’s face as he observed the dark mass drifting beneath the Black River.
"Now, you are utterly ensnared!"
"Boom!!"
Bursting forth from the Two-Yi Yin Yang Mirror, twin dragons of ice and fire immediately plunged toward the black mass. The simultaneous detonation of these opposing extremes caused the dark cloud to start dissolving.
"Destruction! Destruction!!"
As the black mass roared in fury, the terrifying Law of Destruction erupted. While the ice and fire dragons weren't immediately annihilated, their luminescence rapidly faded, transforming into a dull, lifeless gray.
"Law of Destruction? Hmph, I doubt you can obliterate my Boundless Sea!" The Primordial Heavy Water scoffed coldly and acted without further hesitation. The Black River, imbued with immeasurable weight, descended forcefully upon the black mass.
"Crack..."
Under the crushing pressure of the Black River, the black mass fractured inch by inch, accompanied by piercing shrieks.
Before the Black River had fully descended, the black mass had completely shattered.
Witnessing this, the Heavenly Dao Pearl ceased its actions and instantly reverted to a stream, returning to Li Chen's body.
Observing the now empty expanse beneath the Black River, Li Chen offered a slight smile. The Law of Destruction surged instantly, permeating every part of the space below the Black River and ravaging indiscriminately.
"Ah!!!"
In utterly unseen depths, a faint scream was heard, marking the complete annihilation of the black mass.
