My gorgeous wife Chapter 2010 - 1978: Madman! Maniac!

The Soul Realm. A place that countless powerful beings yearn to reach. Across the vast expanse of the Four Great Realms, becoming a Domain Realm Expert is a coveted aspiration, as only those at this level are deemed truly strong. Below the Domain Realm, cultivators are often viewed as insignificant, like ants easily crushed by a mere flick of the wrist. The Domain Realm truly marks the dividing line for powerhouses. Above it lies the Soul Realm! Soul Realm experts are formidable existences, their mere presence capable of intimidating multitudes, regardless of the realm. To cultivators on Earth, Soul Realm experts were once considered legendary figures. Of course, perspective matters, shaping one's understanding. On Earth, for instance, many believed the Heavenly Level was the ultimate pinnacle, with Heavenly Level Experts perceived as beings capable of shaking the very foundations of existence. This, however, is a misconception. Soul Realm experts, on the other hand, genuinely possess the might to be considered legendary, capable of enacting world-altering destruction if they so chose. It is only upon ascending to the Soul Realm that one can truly venture into the uncharted depths of the starry skies—not the known celestial pathways, but the hidden, desolate, and unknown corners of the universe. While the Four Great Realms cover an immense celestial territory, they do not encompass the entirety of existence. The universe is immeasurably vast; even during the Seven Realms' zenith, no one dared claim mastery over its boundless expanse, for the mysterious cosmos holds countless secrets yet to be unveiled. Consequently, during the era of the Seven Realms, the Soul Realm bore a different name: Explorer! "Boom!!" Li Chen's body erupted with surging Qi-blood, immense, terrifying power battering against the threshold of the Soul Realm, his hardened form trembling uncontrollably. Yet, Li Chen's composure remained unfazed, as though the very space around him was shaking, not his own being. Simultaneously, Li Chen's towering vital essence ascended into the heavens, unleashing rampaging energies that stormed across Heaven and Earth. "What... what is he doing?" Some profoundly powerful individuals detected an unusual phenomenon in Li Chen's actions. "Is he... attempting to break through his realm right here?! Is he mad, or are we truly losing our minds?!" A collective gasp of shock rippled through the assembled powerhouses. Attempting a realm breakthrough in such a location was unprecedented, unimaginable, and utterly astounding. The overwhelming pressure present here made it an unsuitable place even for peak Kuotian Realm heavenly kings to attempt a breakthrough, as the amplified suppression from Heaven and Earth would drastically heighten the difficulty. Failure would risk utter ruin of their cultivation, a gamble no one would willingly take. Yet, today, someone was defying all odds. And the individual undertaking this feat was not merely reckless but an astonishingly potent being! "Come on!" Li Chen bellowed towards the sky, rising to his feet as his Qi-blood surged heavenward. No longer bound by the ancient tree's influence, Li Chen was free from all constraints, his furious energies propelling him directly towards the heavens where thunderclouds had begun to gather menacingly. "Break!!" The intertwined laws coalesced into a dense nexus, infused with Li Chen's surging Yuan Force, transforming into an unparalleled piercing spear that shattered the final gateway to the Soul Realm. "Boom!!!" A thunderous roar reverberated through Heaven and Earth, echoing not only within Li Chen but seemingly resonating with the very firmament. In that precise moment, the aura of the Soul Realm began to emanate from Li Chen. However, before this aura could stabilize, the sky's thunderclouds converged with alarming speed. As the thunderclouds amassed, a profound silence fell upon Heaven and Earth. Within the domain of the ancient tree, encompassing the entirety of the second layer of this Little Secret Realm, a vast territory was swallowed by these terrifying thunderclouds. All cultivators beneath the encroaching storm grew deathly pale, trembling in fear, scarcely daring to inhale. Among them were seasoned experts who had weathered a Soul Tribulation. Yet, even the Purgatory Demon Lord, the mightiest among them, had never felt such an awe-inspiring, terrifying thunder tribulation aura during his own Purgatory Demon Tribulation. Daoist Lords face a Dao Lord Golden Tribulation, and the Purgatory Demon Lord has his own unique Purgatory Demon Tribulation. Even the other two Great Realms possess their own distinct tribulations.

Among the martial artists of the Heaven Realm, it is said that Heavenly Lords of the Ascended Heaven Realm withstand the Luo Heavenly Lord Tribulation!

However, at this very moment, not even a Heavenly Lord from the Ascended Heaven Realm would dare assert that their Luo Heavenly Lord Tribulation aura surpasses this terrifying thunder tribulation before them.

This is merely Li Chen's thunder tribulation for breaking through to the Soul Realm, yet in this instant, no one believes Li Chen is only advancing to the Soul Realm.

"Could this be... a Palm Realm Thunder Tribulation?" a powerful expert couldn't help but tremble, muttering fearfully.

"No! Impossible, if he were breaking through to the Palm Realm, the thunder tribulation wouldn't manifest like this!" Immediately, knowledgeable experts shook their heads, dismissing the notion.

Soon, someone detected the scent of a Soul Tribulation aura within the thunderstorm.

"This... this is unthinkable!" The expert who sensed the aura cried out in disbelief: "He isn't breaking into the Palm Realm, nor even the Ninth Order; it's merely the thunder tribulation for entering the Soul Realm, this... how is this possible?!"

"A thunder tribulation for the Soul Realm?!"

Many gasped upon hearing this proclamation.

So, this individual, previously deemed a supremely terrifying expert, was merely at the Domain Realm?

A Domain Realm cultivator strong enough to this extent?

And, most defy of fate, this individual dared to attempt breaking into the Soul Realm in such a location?

Gazing at the terrifying, endless thunderclouds unfurling in the sky, many were left speechless.

Faced with such a situation, they genuinely didn't know what words could adequately describe their current emotions.

At this moment, the originally vast thundercloud began to contract.

Although the thundercloud shrank, its immense aura did not diminish; instead, that dangerous aura grew more concentrated, while Li Chen couldn't help but narrow his eyes at this precise moment.

"You curse the heavens, I knew you've always harbored ill will towards me, attempting to obliterate me in a single blow after I endured for so long?" Li Chen sneered coldly.

"But your wish shall not prevail!"

With a long, echoing laugh, Li Chen did not passively withstand the tribulation but instead actively charged towards those pitch-black thunderclouds!

This astonishing spectacle left countless onlookers petrified, frozen in place.

In that instant, two adjectives spontaneously formed in everyone's minds.

Madman! Lunatic!
