My gorgeous wife Chapter 2232 - 2200: Marching to the Demon Realm
Previously on My gorgeous wife...
A hundred years, especially under such a grand era as the Banquet Era, everyone is rapidly advancing and growing; would Li Chen really stagnate?
Although seemingly still at the Ninth Order, the terrifying extent of Li Chen’s current power has long exceeded everyone’s expectations.
What’s this talk of Eighth Rank battling against Ninth Order, or Ninth Order challenging the True Realm?
In front of Li Chen, those are mere jokes.
However, as his power grew, Li Chen became low-key instead.
Because he knew very well that at his grade, if he grows stronger, he will attract the attention of Era-Ancient Civilization.
Several sparring sessions with Suan Tian were conducted inside a Minor World Space specially built by both Li Chen and Suan Tian.
Initially, Li Chen was completely outmatched, crushed by Suan Tian in three consecutive losses, until he finally drew one match with all his might.
Then came a streak of six victories, leaving Suan Tian unwilling to spar again, calling him a real freak.
Though Suan Tian wasn’t particularly adept at combat within the Palm Realm, and in fact, had extremely low combat power, he still was a Palm Realm Powerhouse capable easily defeating ordinary True Realm or Soul Realm opponents.
But against Li Chen, after initially feeling like he was hitting a punching bag, he was almost completely outmatched in later matches.
Especially in the final match, Suan Tian was nearly used as a punching bag by Li Chen.
If he weren’t equipped with numerous supreme techniques as a Heaven and Earth Realm, he might not have endured the beating for long.
"Behemoth was born in the late Seven Realms Era, and hadn’t broken through the Palm Realm by its end, only achieving it later." As Li Chen soared together with Ning Wangyang, he simultaneously pondered in his heart.
"The Four Emperors Era had just experienced a war, leaving the world devastated and difficult to break through. If he had such talent, he could have achieved Ancient Ancestor in the Seven Realms Era. After the Barren Era and Desolate Era, the world was depleted and couldn’t reach the Palm Realm, meaning Behemoth became an ancestor at least after the Revival Era, maybe even during Ancient Times." Li Chen stroked his chin.
"If that’s the case, then Behemoth’s cultivation is comparable to Suan Tian; even if he’s stronger, it won’t be by much. Because he seems to have experienced a terrifying war that shattered his physical form, leaving only some Remnant Soul, which took so many years to revive and restore."
"Suan Tian isn’t skilled at combat, so Behemoth being stronger than Suan Tian is normal."
While Li Chen was contemplating, Catherine’s voice arrived just in time: "Boss, even though you have some assurance taking action this time and there’s the Nether Army to neutralize interference, I still feel there’s an uncertain factor that needs attention."
"What uncertain factor?" Li Chen asked.
"The Demon Realm’s Demon Emperor." Catherine spoke solemnly: "From current intelligence, this Demon Emperor seems to be on par with the God of the Divine Realm and the Taoist Ancestor of the Immortal Domain. Just unsure if they’re truly Palm Realm. But even if not, they must at least possess Peak True Realm cultivation; otherwise, they wouldn’t be so revered."
Li Chen pondered for a moment and then nodded to remember.
Although Li Chen felt the likelihood of the Demon Emperor being Palm Realm was slim.
After all, nearly all Palm Realms in the Starry Universe are hidden, and most are holed up in the Holy Realm, which Suan Tian jokingly calls the ’kennel.’
Even if a Palm Realm appears, they certainly wouldn’t openly emerge in the Four Great Realms.
Unless they’re colluding with Era-Ancient Civilization.
But the possibility of collusion with Era-Ancient Civilization is even smaller.
Being such open traitors, do they really think those old monsters hiding in the Holy Realm are pushovers?
"So now, there’s just one problem left." Ning Wangyang shrugged: "After reaching the Demon Realm, how do we find Behemoth?"
Li Chen glanced disdainfully at Ning Wangyang: "No wonder your wife dislikes you, do you have nothing in your head besides swinging a sword at people or being chopped? Here, this is the genetic locating device made by Alice. As long as we have something from Behemoth, this thing can help us find that old monster."
Ning Wangyang frowned: "But where are we supposed to get something from Behemoth?"
Li Chen sneered, reached into the Minor World, and pulled: "Have you forgotten? Back in the Minor World, I chopped off one of that old monster’s claws!"
A large arm was pulled out by Li Chen.
This arm, was precisely what Li Chen cut off from Behemoth back then!
"I almost admire that guy; an alter ego’s arm with such a long shelf life." Looking at the oddly shaped, part-human, part-beast clawed arm, Li Chen’s face showed a peculiar smile.
Ning Wangyang was left speechless.
Wasn’t he a witness when Li Chen cut off this arm?
In the Starry Sky, a whole three thousand Nether Army were already assembled and ready.
Among these people, aside from the first generation Li Chen brought along back then, there was the second generation Nether Army with almost no age disparity.
For the first generation Nether Army, their time concept was still relatively close to when they were in the Lower Realm, most marrying and having offspring in their twenties, so the older ones amongst the second generation were only a few years younger than the first generation, and the younger only three or four decades apart.
To the Nether Army who spent more than three hundred years in the Heaven Realm, this age difference was almost negligible.
Seeing Li Chen arrive, whether first generation or second generation Nether Army, their eyes subtly filled with excitement.
Because they knew, this man is their king.
King of the Netherworld!
And, also the famously known Red Dust Heavenly Sovereign in the entire Starry Universe!
This legendary man single-handedly founded the Palace of the Nether King, bringing it step by step to today’s heights.
Their strength today, their pride in the Starry Sky, all were gifted by this man.
Since long ago, they knew this man was the one worth dying for!
"Are you all ready?" Looking at the cluster of Black Armor standing in the starry sky, Li Chen’s face lit with a smile, his Palace of the Nether King had finally reached this stage.
"Reporting to Nether King! Everything is prepared! Ready to depart!"
Upon hearing this, the smile on Li Chen’s face grew even brighter: "Alright, everyone, get ready to kill with me!!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!!"
"Kill!!!"
The fierce Evil Qi roar shook the starry sky.
Li Chen took out a Magic Cube-like device, injecting Space Law into it to activate.
"Space coordinate location: Demon Realm."
"Begin Space Law bridging..."
"Bridge successful!"
"Activate Super-Spatial Wormhole..."
"Super-Spatial Wormhole activation successful!"
Li Chen and Ning Wangyang took the lead, stepping into the dark, deep wormhole entrance.
Following closely were three thousand Black Armored Nether Army!
