My gorgeous wife Chapter 2188 - 2156: Red Dust Heavenly Sovereign

The space gate abruptly opened, and a figure appeared amidst an unfamiliar sky.

Li Chen squinted slightly. With his knowledge of space, he could naturally perceive the subtle differences in this space.

In a place that’s hard to detect, there was a ’rift’ situated between spaces.

If his guess was correct, this ’rift’ was the Heavenly Realm’s stronghold outside the Ancient Battle Realm.

"Who goes there?"

Before Li Chen could get closer, a voice came from not far away, deep and robust, likely enough to make those with ill intent shudder.

But a faint smile appeared on Li Chen’s face: "One of your own."

A stalwart figure appeared, looking at Li Chen with a puzzled expression: "This Dao Brother, I don’t think we’ve met?"

"There are countless Domain and Soul Realms in the Heavenly Realm, have you met each of them?" Li Chen squinted slightly, speaking with amusement.

"I can’t say I’ve met all the Heavenly Kings and Sovereigns of the Heavenly Realm, but I’ve met most of those participating in this battle. You, sir, look unfamiliar," the stalwart figure looked at Li Chen and responded steadfastly.

Li Chen raised his eyebrows slightly: "You, just a mere Fifth Rank in the Domain Realm, dare to speak to me like this, aren’t you afraid of death? You should know, even though this is just outside the Heavenly Realm stronghold, if I wanted to kill you, no one inside could come to your aid in time."

The stalwart figure’s expression turned grave: "For the safety of the soldiers who are here to shed blood for the Heavenly Realm, my life counts for nothing. Since I have taken on this duty, I will fulfill it, even if it means death."

"Excellent!" Li Chen laughed heartily upon hearing this.

He seemed to understand why the Heavenly Realm, despite being in a disadvantaged position for many years, never fell.

Yet appreciation aside, he still had to go in; there’s nothing to learn from outside.

Just as Li Chen was contemplating whether to temporarily bypass them and find a place to open a space gate to sneak in, several figures flew over from afar.

"What’s happening?"

Several figures flew over, seven or eight in total, including two Heavenly Sovereigns, both of whom were from the Realm of Shen Tian, and it was one of them, dressed in a green robe, who spoke.

"Reporting to Heavenly Venerable Qingyu. This person claims to be from the Heavenly Realm and wishes to enter the stronghold, but I have not seen him before, so I am verifying his identity," the Stalwart King replied directly without concealment.

"I see." The Heavenly Venerable in Green Robe nodded in understanding, then looked at Li Chen, speaking with an unfathomable gaze: "The Heavenly Realm is under high alert at present; anyone wishing to enter must undergo identity verification. Moreover... I haven’t seen you before either, where exactly do you come from?"

After all, given Li Chen’s cultivation in the Realm of Shen Tian, he dared not be careless, so he asked cautiously.

"From the Heavenly Realm." Li Chen did not hide.

However, as soon as he said this, the expressions of those around him turned peculiar.

From the Heavenly Realm?

What a joke?

Even traveling from the Borderland Realm to the Ancient Battle Realm requires passing through several special wormholes, which are controlled by certain key figures in the Borderland Realm.

As for the Heavenly Realm, it is even more unimaginably distant from the Ancient Battle Realm. Traveling from the Heavenly Realm to here would require such a vast distance that flying amidst the starry sky for countless years might not suffice, as coordinates are not always available, and one could easily get lost.

Li Chen could feel that after he spoke, these people had clearly become more on guard.

"Is there a problem?" Li Chen asked.

The Heavenly Venerable in Green Robe looked at Li Chen with some caution: "Please, don’t joke. The distance from the Heavenly Realm to here is immeasurable, even a Ninth-Order Heavenly Venerate would take countless years, and might still not find this place. How, then, did you come from the Heavenly Realm?"

Li Chen was taken aback, realizing it was about this.

He had used the Five Elements Boots for extreme speed and still took more than half a month to get here. For others, indeed, it would take countless years to find this place.

Thinking of this, Li Chen’s eyes showed some hesitation.

Not that he was afraid of exposing the Five Elements Boots being taken, as with his current strength, he wasn’t afraid of anyone daring to take his things.

It’s just that he was here to find someone and deal with matters, not wanting to expose his identity prematurely.

Meanwhile, the few others also began silently transmitting sound.

"Based on the information from King Yilin and others before they left a few days ago, a kind of You Hun has appeared in the Ancient Battle Realm, capable of eroding human intelligence and occupying their bodies. The Mysterious Hidden Sky King who was nailed to death was taken over in such a manner. I suspect this person belongs to that category," the Heavenly Venerable Qingyu transmitted.

"What should we do?"

"First control him, then capture and hold him until the Autumn Rain Heavenly Venerate and others conclude their meeting and return to deal with it. If that’s not possible... kill on the spot!" said the Heavenly Venerable Qingyu, with a tone that carried a hint of killing intent.

After all, those who dare to participate in the Four Realms War do not possess saintly compassion. In such a brutal battlefield, if you don’t kill, you’ll be the one who dies.

"Seems like I’ve been misunderstood?" Li Chen blinked, a bit helpless.

He regretted speaking too recklessly for a moment.

Actually, revealing his identity wouldn’t matter much; he could see that these people had no ill intent, so he didn’t want to harm them. But now it seemed there was no choice but to fight.

Although the opponents were several, including two Heavenly Sovereigns of the same level in the Realm of Shen Tian, but... he was Li Chen, after all.

"Brother Qingyu, wait!"

At this moment, a somewhat urgent voice came from not far away.

From the crevice behind them, a figure flew out swiftly, blocking the Heavenly Venerable Qingyu and others.

"Brother Qingyu, wait, don’t engage, he’s one of us," the newcomer said urgently.

"Moluo Heavenly Lord?" Upon seeing the person who stood in front of them, the Heavenly Venerable Qingyu couldn’t help but frown: "Brother Moluo, do you know this person? Even if you do, it won’t do. This person could very well be lying and hiding information. Regardless, his origins are questionable; we must capture him first."

"No, no, no!" With these words, the Moluo Heavenly Lord quickly waved his hand and secretly transmitted: "Don’t be foolish, do not engage, or else we’ll all be in trouble!"

"What’s going on?" At this point, another Heavenly Venerate couldn’t help but ask through sound transmission.

"This is..." The Moluo Heavenly Lord said, glancing involuntarily at Li Chen not far away: "This is the Red Dust Heavenly King mentioned by the Mad Celestial Sovereign!"

"When I was in the Ancient Battle Realm, I once met the Red Dust Heavenly King. At that time, he only had the strength of a Kuotian Realm King but managed to directly slay an Immortal Emperor from the Immortal Domain. And now, this Red Dust Heavenly King... should be addressed as the Red Dust Heavenly Sovereign."

Hearing this, the others couldn’t help but gasp in shock.
