My gorgeous wife Chapter 2218 - 2186: Divine Skill Showdown

Just like Behemoth said back then, while the techniques of some Martial Artists from the Lower Realm are crude and simple, the core of many techniques contains the essence that leads directly to the Dao.

Cultivators who reach the Late Stage mostly engage in divine skill confrontations.

Because under the pressure of powerful divine skills, some rudimentary techniques and laws are utterly powerless. This confinement of two hundred years was not wasted by Li Chen.

After three years of worldwide battles, Li Chen discovered his own shortcomings.

The self-created techniques, when facing some powerhouses, have become practically useless, only formidable divine skills can harm the opponent.

These two hundred years proved critical for Li Chen’s foundation, surpassing even cultivation breakthroughs.

Now, Li Chen’s various sword techniques have completely undergone metamorphosis, integrating with the laws, and transformed into six entirely different divine skills.

Though they are still far from the Great Divine Powers like Locking Heaven and Earth and Endless Sea of Blood, Li Chen believes that with continued refinement, he will have opportunities to become truly great.

An example is Cease Spear.

Cease Spear initially used Time Law to momentarily trap the enemy, and although effective in combat, its flaws were too evident, lacking substantial destructive power.

After acquiring the Wheel of Space-Time, Li Chen began altering the path of Cease Spear, no longer focusing on Time Law, but emphasizing the cycle.

Now it’s not only a time cycle, but also an energy cycle.

The divine skill Cease Spear can create a law circuit on the opponent’s attack instantaneously, redirecting the opponent’s energy back!

In other words, it harnesses the enemy’s strength to assault themselves!

Similar to the once-famous Great Shifting of the Stars divine skill in the Starry Sky, yet Cease Spear is more complete.

The Great Shifting of the Stars requires channeling energy through oneself, and if overwhelmed, it might lead to self-explosion.

Whereas Cease Spear directly creates a circuit in the opponent’s energy, bypassing oneself entirely.

"Clang!!"

Even though Zhang Lu had merely pierced Li Chen’s finger with his spear, it seemed as if he’d collided with an attack identical to Sky Shatterer, causing the spear to halt, unable to advance even a fraction.

Zhang Lu’s face tightened, sending the spear forth with the same divine skill, Sky Shatterer pierced through Changkong toward Li Chen.

However, Li Chen merely extended a finger, repeatedly tapping.

"Clang clang clang!!"

With just a single finger, the clashes sounded like metal clashing, and the shockwaves dispersed countless floating meteorites around them.

Knowing continued efforts would be futile, Zhang Lu abruptly withdrew his spear, and simultaneously, a giant seed silhouette unfurled behind him.

"World Seed!"

Li Chen shrugged, realizing he couldn’t remain leisurely.

"World Seed!"

Despite the World Seed generally evolving only from Domain Realm to True Realm, it now appeared on two Soul Realm cultivators.

Though they were in the Soul Realm, their combat caliber had already surpassed typical Soul Realm feats.

Simultaneously, Li Chen watched as the power of the World Seed began continuously flowing into Zhang Lu, a technique he did not possess.

Li Chen wielded the World Seed against enemies, merely using it as an additional attack method, whereas Zhang Lu evidently used it as an energy source, continuously expanding himself.

"Divine Skill—Star Sea Tides!"

Zhang Lu extended both arms, and his spear flew above him, beginning to rotate.

With its rotation, waves of Law Storms emerged from the World Seed.

As the Law Storms surged out of the World Seed, they transformed into monstrous waves, crashing toward Li Chen.

Li Chen had reason to believe that under such terrifying waves, even a cluster of stars would be extinguished and shattered!

Li Chen’s expression turned grave for the first time.

Feeling the formidable nature of this divine skill, it’s not surprising Zhang Lu dared to challenge him.

"Endless Sea of Blood!!"

The sea of blood unfurled behind Li Chen, similarly forming waves; blood sea and star sea collided like monstrous waves from two directions, suddenly clashing.

"Boom!!"

The entire Starry Sky shook violently upon their collision.

It’s spatial tremor, a natural phenomenon in the Starry Universe, yet now triggered by their divine skill clash.

Under such spatial tremors, surrounding areas became unstable, starting to sway; a mishap could lead to large-scale spatial collapse.

By then, whether planets, meteorites, or cultivators, would be swept into the Chaotic Void.

"Retreat!"

Heavenly Venerable Qinglong and a legion of powerhouses retreated further.

At this time, many Martial Artists watched no longer casually; their eyes showed shock.

After cultivation strength grows, can cultivators achieve such feats?

This power probably genuinely reaches the realm of world destruction.

Even the Four Great Realms may not withstand prolonged assault by such power.

Even Heavenly Venerable Qinglong couldn’t help but sigh internally: "I finally understand how the Three Great Realms of the Seven Realms Era were destroyed."

Wars during the Seven Realms Era were far more intimidating, involved numerous Palm Realm Powerhouses whose destructive scale was even greater, more terrifying than now.

Under such torment by those powerhouses, what chance do Great Realms have? Only eventually being crushed into collapse.

Ultimately, Star Sea Tides subsided, but likewise, Endless Sea of Blood perished together with it!

This divine skill was so formidable it surprised belief.

"Li Chen, don’t you possess seal category divine skills too? Then, now, let’s see whose seal divine skill is stronger." As if foreseeing such an outcome, Zhang Lu’s eyes showed no ripple, yet to Li Chen, this state of Zhang Lu... seemed more like a dead man.

However, hearing Zhang Lu’s words, Li Chen suddenly sensed a formidable threat.

Seal divine skills generally lack significant destructive power, yet to powerhouses, such divine skills pose greater danger.

Once sealed, even brief confinement can decide a battle’s outcome!

For powerhouses of this realm, each move’s destructive power is terrifyingly immense, and if one is sealed, even for an instant, the fate is predictable.

The Ninth Order Experts sealed by Locking Heaven and Earth were blown apart by Li Chen just like that.

Gazing at Li Chen, Zhang Lu pressed his hands together, instantly forming multiple hand seals.

"Lin, Bing, Dou, Zhe, Jie, Zhen, Lie, Qian, Xing!"

"Divine Skill—True Word Nine Seals!"

Li Chen’s expression changed, likewise forming hand seals immediately.

"Divine Skill—Locking Heaven and Earth!"

"Boom!!"

Two absolutely powerful seal energies simultaneously enveloped them.
