My gorgeous wife Chapter 2238 - 2206: Riftland Purgatory

The Flourishing Era is quite unique.

Because in the previous eras, even Soul Realm experts rarely moved; at most, only some Domain Realm experts were active.

Yet, after the Flourishing Era began, various experts began to stir, as if sensing something. Between Heaven and Earth, many traces of their activities remain.

The Four Realms War also ended during the Flourishing Era. With top-level powerhouses emerging, the world underwent a transformation, entering the New Era.

It seems like these ancient beings have sensed the arrival of the Banquet Era, so they chose to awaken during this era. Some old ones who were asleep couldn’t hold back anymore.

In the eighteenth layer of the Demon Realm, Li Chen and Ning Wangyang traverse the void, led by the Abyssal Lord ahead of them.

The Abyssal Lord’s name is Bruce, with a Seventh Rank cultivation, his strength quite decent; otherwise, he wouldn’t hold a position in the twelfth layer of the Demon Realm.

However, upon reaching the eighteenth layer, he dared not be presumptuous at all.

Though the eighteenth layer doesn’t have Domain Realm experts everywhere nor Soul Realm experts wandering around, such places could potentially harbor top-level powerhouses anytime.

Compared to other spaces in the Demon Realm, the eighteenth layer is less chaotic, with fewer conflicts, as observed by Li Chen along the way.

Here, an unknown order seems to maintain things.

For the eighteenth layer, outsiders from other layers rarely come in. Though the Origin Demon Qi is denser here, many from other layers are unused to the constrained living, preferring freedom.

After all, there is a true ruler here!

"What’s the name of that place again?" Li Chen looked at the somewhat jittery Abyssal Lord and asked amusingly.

"It’s called... Riftland Purgatory," the Abyssal Lord murmured.

"Riftland Purgatory." Li Chen nodded, waving his hand at the Abyssal Lord: "If you don’t want to lead us, you can go; we’ll find it ourselves."

Bruce was stunned by Li Chen’s words and his face changed drastically.

His injuries haven’t healed; even if he returns to the twelfth layer, he might struggle against his enemy there. These two are obviously unfathomably powerful; following them could be beneficial...

Even without following, seeing such a high-level battle could offer many advantages, potentially allowing a breakthrough to the Eighth Rank.

Determined to take a chance, Bruce clenched his teeth and said, "Masters, I’ll continue leading you!"

Li Chen smiled knowingly without exposing Bruce’s intentions, simply nodding.

Li Chen then did not dawdle further, commanding Bruce while utilizing Spatial Transference for quick movement.

Bruce felt more assured upon witnessing Li Chen’s terrifying prowess in Space Law.

Having heard of the strength of Space Law, and known for its unparalleled escape capabilities, even in defeat, it shouldn’t pose danger.

"Hope so!" Bruce prayed internally, betting on his choice.

Each instance of Void Shifting covered incredibly vast distances.

Li Chen’s cultivation was beyond the past; such repeated teleportations strained him slightly but didn’t pose a major issue.

When a crimson region appeared before Li Chen, he halted abruptly.

Simultaneously, Ning Wangyang’s aura showed slight fluctuations.

In front of the three was a volcanic domain.

Why call it a domain? Scattered across it were dozens of volcanoes.

"This should be Riftland Purgatory." Bruce swallowed nervously and carefully said.

Li Chen glanced at Ning Wangyang: "Caught the scent?"

Ning Wangyang nodded coldly: "This scent, I’ll likely never forget."

"Below us?"

"There’s a barrier below; given its cunning, it’s likely just a Blinding Technique."

Bruce watched the two curiously, not grasping their conversation.

He only saw the surface volcanoes while creatures living near Purgatory lingered at the edges, not daring approach the area inhabited by experts of at least Purgatory Devil Lord level.

Li Chen chuckled softly: "No matter where he hides, we’ll drag him out. Surely he can’t sleep comfortably if his nest is ravaged."

"True enough."

Ning Wangyang nodded; in the next moment, a black longsword was unsheathed.

Black Flame ignited and spread over the sword.

The longsword’s terrifying aura left Bruce, the Abyssal Lord, aghast.

He understood clearly that even a mere touch from the sword likely meant death for him!

Facing the volcano area, Ning Wangyang muttered softly.

"Divine Skill — Burning Sword Burial."

"Whoosh—"

The longsword swung and extended with the wind.

Ultimately, the ordinary black longsword transformed into a Heaven-Measuring Ruler!

Most terrifying was the fierce Black Flame ablaze on this giant structure.

"Boom!!"

The Black Flame Giant Sword pressed down from the firmament; the volcanic domain below shattered under its terror.

Not just volcanoes, even lava vanished into Nihility beneath the annihilating strike.

It didn’t stop; after crushing the volcano area, the sword sank further, collapsing the earth. A vast barrier restriction emerged, but under the fearsome Sword of Divine Abilities, it cracked within moments, collapsing in pieces.

Everything beneath the barrier was obliterated with the falling strike.

Witnessing the scene, Bruce swallowed several times before recovering.

"Luckily, I didn’t play tricks on these two..." Bruce breathed a sigh of relief internally.

After the Black Flame Giant Sword ruptured the earth and barrier, Li Chen suddenly lifted his head, looking skyward with a peculiar expression.

"Behemoth, aren’t you going to personally greet an old friend?"

From above, an icy voice replied: "Red Dust, you’ve gone too far; think you can’t be killed?"

Li Chen shrugged: "You’re welcome to try."
