My gorgeous wife Chapter 2244 - 2212: River of Blood in the Starry Sky (Part 5)

"Rift Finger!"

A beam of light came forth, shattering Li Chen’s World Seed once more. Simultaneously, Li Chen had no choice but to muster his Inner Strength and unleash his Divine Skills.

"Cease Spear!"

With the same finger pointed out, it collided with Behemoth’s Rift Finger, forcing Behemoth to retreat once again.

After making the move, Li Chen began to breathe heavily.

This battle has proven to be incredibly difficult.

The primary issue is the realm disparity between the two.

Despite using the Supreme Treasure multiple times, Li Chen could barely manage to protect himself, with the prospect of defeating Behemoth remaining a distant hope.

"Rip!"

He tore through a piece of space and immediately dove in, the only opportunity he had to catch his breath.

Although Behemoth understood the Space Law, his proficiency paled in comparison to Li Chen. After Li Chen tore through the space to escape, Behemoth needed several breaths to calculate Li Chen’s location and tear through space again.

Yet this time, beyond the ripped space, greeted him was a crimson Sea of Blood.

"Endless Sea of Blood!!"

Behemoth snorted coldly, unfolded his Pseudo-Universe, and instantly became the core, absorbing and exhaling infinite power.

"Dark Tide!"

The Blood Sea and Dark Tide clashed, and although the tide’s Power of Divine Abilities couldn’t rival the Endless Sea of Blood, after the tide was destroyed, Behemoth had enough energy to unleash a second Dark Tide, forcibly extinguishing the Blood Sea in midair.

Li Chen’s face went pale once again.

Even the Endless Sea of Blood failed against Behemoth.

Although this had been proven before, he still wanted to attempt a sneak attack, hoping that even if he couldn’t heavily damage Behemoth, he could at least inflict some injuries and absorb some power for replenishment.

Alas, Li Chen schemed well, but Behemoth didn’t let him succeed.

After extended combat, having been struck multiple times, even the Three Lives Everything Armor’s radiance began to dim.

It was the first time the Supreme Treasure felt powerless during a battle.

In past battles, Li Chen’s Inner Strength might have been drained, yet the Supreme Treasure remained intact. But this time, it was clearly different.

"How many more of my attacks can your Supreme Treasure withstand?" Behemoth asked coldly, looking at Li Chen, "Even if you’ve bought yourself some breathing space, it’s only a delay. The final outcome won’t change, so why struggle in vain?"

"I know that if you wanted, with the Space Law, you could escape. But you can’t flee forever," Behemoth said, hands behind his back, his Pseudo-Universe granting him an almost Invincible position.

Moreover, within his Pseudo-Universe lay several powerful Killing Weapons comparable to the Supreme Treasure. It was these weapons that pushed Li Chen, who wielded multiple Supreme Treasures, into a pitiful retreat.

He felt no remorse for the damage to these Killing Weapons.

To eliminate Li Chen, his greatest threat, any price was worth it.

Especially since, having entered the Palm Realm, Behemoth could better discern the essence of power.

External objects are ultimately just that; true strength lies within oneself.

Li Chen was powerful, but Behemoth was even more so.

In the Palm Realm, Behemoth held a crushing advantage over Li Chen, yet he still chose a meticulous approach, steadily pushing Li Chen into a corner before striking the final blow.

Li Chen’s battle experience was rich, but were Behemoth’s any less?

Using words to pressure Li Chen, Behemoth aimed to prevent his escape.

Should Li Chen flee, today’s battle might leave a flaw in his Dao Heart, a flaw which, if left unaddressed, could prove fatal when attempting to advance to the Palm Realm, possibly barring him from ever achieving it.

Yet, even so, Behemoth was unwilling to let him escape.

Li Chen’s potential growth was terrifying; with such a foe alive, Behemoth would remain ever uneasy.

Who could have imagined that the small being from the minor world, once powerless as his companions fell to Behemoth, could rise to challenge the Palm Realm?

This menace could not be left unresolved!

Li Chen surveyed his surroundings and sighed lightly in his heart.

Behemoth dared not wholly approach for a decisive kill, forcing Li Chen to hesitate in deploying his Killer Moves or to reckon with Behemoth’s wariness, lest they be revealed prematurely.

Yet the constant attrition by Behemoth might eventually sap even the strength needed to reveal those cards.

Still, he refrained, waiting for the right moment.

Both sides now engaged in a battle of patience, akin to seasoned hunters awaiting their prey’s misstep.

Tearing through space once more, Li Chen disregarded his current location, escaping into the void.

Behemoth closely pursued.

"Rip!"

Reappearing, the two found themselves amidst the Starry Sky.

"Bagua Skyslaying!"

The Bagua Array Diagram unfolded and enveloped Behemoth the instant he appeared, the ancient formation’s text pounding down heavily.

Behemoth coldly waved his hand.

"Annihilation Array Flag, go!"

A Command Flag quickly flew out, bursting with energy, embedding itself in the ancient formation.

In mere breaths, the once immutable Bagua Array Diagram, undisturbed by the efforts of over three hundred people, shattered.

The array’s glow dimmed, returning to Li Chen.

Meanwhile, a grim crack marred Behemoth’s Command Flag.

Such relics were indeed precious and mighty, but compared to Supreme Treasure, they were clearly lacking. Forcibly breaking the formation came at a cost, and repairing it would be exceedingly troublesome.

But, after all, Behemoth, unwilling to spare expense, broke the ancient formation.

"You’ve ambushed me so many times; now taste my palm." Seeing the crack on the Command Flag, Behemoth’s expression turned cold as he extended his Pseudo-Universe, instantly encapsulating Li Chen, sealing his retreat, and delivering a palm strike.

One palm is the world.

One palm is the heavens.

This is the ’palm’ of the Palm Realm!

The palm pressed down upon Li Chen like a colossal world intending to crush him until his World Seed cracked inch by inch around him.

Yet at this moment, a sudden smile emerged at the corner of Li Chen’s mouth.

For in this contest of patience, he ultimately prevailed.
