My gorgeous wife Chapter 2019 - 1987: Sampan

The formidable might of the God Subduing Swamp was so immense it rendered resistance virtually impossible.

It wasn't just Li Chen; even a powerhouse at the Daoist Lord Level would find it exceedingly difficult to escape its clutches.

And this was merely the periphery of the God Subduing Swamp.

However, Li Chen possessed his own unique methods.

If escape was not an option, what if he had never entered in the first place?

The Power of the Time Law!

Li Chen's mastery over the Time Law had long surpassed rudimentary tricks like minor temporal cycles or basic time stoppage.

At this stage, Li Chen's Time Law enabled him to achieve brief moments of time acceleration and reversal.

While the duration was exceptionally short, from a certain perspective, this ability was truly heaven-defying!

Setting acceleration aside, the mere capability of time reversal alone was an earth-shattering might.

Through time reversal, provided Li Chen wasn't instantly annihilated, he could use this power to restore himself to his peak condition. This was precisely what made the Time Law so terrifying.

Observing Li Chen suspended in mid-air once more, Christina gazed at him in the sky with a look of stunned disbelief, utterly speechless.

To Christina's astonishment, shortly after Li Chen ascended, he reappeared on the Swamp's surface.

"You... you..." Facing Li Chen, Christina found herself momentarily at a loss for words, or rather, she had nothing left to say.

Previously, she had assumed Li Chen was in the same predicament as herself, trapped within the God Subduing Swamp with no means of escape. She had never anticipated him to break free in an instant, only to casually return.

"What about me?" Li Chen inquired, a faint, amused smile playing on his lips as he looked at Christina.

"Nothing," Christina replied curtly, deciding against further argument with this anomaly.

"Right, there's something I'd forgotten to ask." Li Chen turned his attention back to Christina. "Are these so-called Three Thousand Innate Gods and Demons truly that powerful? If my memory serves me correctly, don't existences from the Four Emperors Territory reside here as well? Could it be that the Inheritance of the Innate Gods and Demons surpasses that of the Four Emperors?"

"Not necessarily," Christina responded, shaking her head. "While they are all figures of legend, the tales of the Innate Gods and Demons are far more ancient, predating even the Four Emperors. The Four Emperors, at least, have tangible evidence and are recognized as Palm Realm powerhouses. However, the existence of the Innate Gods and Demons is more uncertain. Some might have been Palm Realm powerhouses, while others may not have been."

"This... I seem to have encountered this before..."

The Five Elements Boots uttered, "It bears some resemblance to a fragment of Noah's Ark..."

"Old Five!" Primordial Heavy Water bellowed.

The Five Elements Boots instantly fell silent.

However, Li Chen's heart skipped a beat.

It was because he had heard a name that struck him as both familiar and foreign.

Noah's Ark!

Li Chen chose not to probe further, understanding that should their Supreme Treasures remain tight-lipped, it was undoubtedly for his protection. When the opportune moment arrived, they would naturally reveal the truth.

Within the vast historical currents of the Starry Universe, an immense number of secrets lay concealed.

Despite personally bearing witness to the Seven Realms War, Li Chen still lacked a complete understanding of the true threat the Seven Realms had confronted.

Had it been a World-Destroying Beast, or something entirely different?

"Come aboard," Christina declared, appearing to have regained her composure. She glanced at Li Chen, a slight smile gracing her lips. "You may have exited the swamp, but progressing further within this domain is hardly a simple feat, is it?"

Li Chen offered a placid smile, choosing not to engage in a verbal spat with Christina, and stepped onto the makeshift raft.

It wasn't that he was incapable of moving within this swamp; rather, even for him, advancing through this treacherous environment would exact a significant toll. There was no need to engage in reckless behavior merely to make a point.

Naturally, Li Chen had considered plunging directly into the depths of the God Subduing Swamp. However, he had discerned that the Restrictions imposed by those Ancient Elder Runes intensified with increasing depth. Even with his considerable might, ascending high into the heavens above its most profound regions was simply unfeasible.

The God Subduing Swamp not only exerted a boundless, terrifying suction but also exerted a potent, suppressive rule that diluted the Qi within a cultivator's Dantian. The deeper one ventured, the more indistinct a cultivator's perception of their own Power would become, until, ultimately, the mobilization of even a sliver of Qi might prove impossible.

Under Christina's guidance, the plank began its slow forward journey. Due to its modest dimensions, spanning merely two to three meters in diameter, its progress was not particularly sluggish as it navigated the waters.

While the God Subduing Swamp maintained an eerie silence, it was by no means devoid of life.

From its murky expanse emerged certain Ancient Elder trees, the species of which neither of them could identify. Peculiarly, despite the inherent difficulty even for cultivators in traversing this place, these Ancient Elder trees seemed entirely unfazed, thriving with remarkable lushness.

Abruptly, Li Chen's brows knitted together infinitesimally.

"What is it?" Noticing the subtle alteration in Li Chen's expression, Christina could not refrain from inquiring.

"Observe in that direction," Li Chen stated, extending a hand to indicate an Ancient Elder tree situated in the distance.

Christina's gaze followed the trajectory of his pointed finger. Upon witnessing what lay before her, her expression transformed into one of sheer astonishment.

For perched upon a branch of that very Ancient Elder tree, an individual was seated!
