My gorgeous wife Chapter 2247 - 2215: River of Blood Beneath the Starry Sky (Part 8)

There are rulers in the Three Realms.

Aside from the Heaven Realm, the other three realms each have a powerhouse who rules over the Great Realms.

Generally speaking, such a powerhouse first needs to have a strong foundation of power, and secondly, a prestige that is acceptable to all.

Only such a powerhouse can become the ruler of one realm.

The Immortal Domain has the Dao Ancestor, the Divine Realm has God, and the Demon Realm has the Demon Emperor.

As for the exact strength of these three individuals, very few people know.

But today, Li Chen saw the Demon Emperor, one of these rulers.

He was a young man wearing a white robe, with flowing sleeves. He had a peculiar quality about him, and if Behemoth hadn’t called out this name, Li Chen would have thought this person, revered as the Demon Emperor, was an immortal from the Immortal Domain.

But the fact is, this person is the current ruler of the Demon Realm, the Demon Emperor!

"Finally, he has come." Li Chen whispered softly to himself.

Although he had long guessed that his battle with Behemoth would alarm this ruler of the Demon Realm, the Demon Emperor’s persistent absence made Li Chen uneasy. And at this moment when the Demon Emperor appeared, although it was an extremely inopportune time, Li Chen felt strangely reassured.

After all, from Behemoth’s attitude, it could be seen that this high-ranking Demon Emperor, although unlikely to be here to help him, was also not here to help Behemoth.

It was evident that Behemoth’s expression at this time was quite unsightly. Looking at the white-clad Demon Emperor in the sky, he said in a deep voice, "Demon Emperor Sargeras."

"Long time no see, old friend Behemoth." The Demon Emperor Sargeras looked at Behemoth with gentle eyes and spoke softly.

"It has indeed been a long time." Behemoth’s aura was stagnant all over, as if about to erupt at any moment, staring at the figure amidst the starry sky, "Why, are you planning to take advantage and profit on the sidelines this time? Waiting for me to be weakened and then kill me?"

The Demon Emperor Sargeras looked at Behemoth calmly, "Why would you think so?"

Behemoth smirked, "Isn’t that your kind? Back when I first entered the Palm Realm, I was suddenly ambushed and my body and soul completely shattered and scattered throughout the universe. Dare you say it wasn’t your handiwork?"

"Perhaps." Sargeras shrugged his shoulders, "But I never struck against you back then. By the time I wanted to seize your Soul Seed, your body had already completely collapsed."

"If you want to blame someone, you can only blame human greed. Even if I didn’t plot against you back then, with your reckless character, you would eventually die at someone else’s hands."

Behemoth let out a cold laugh, "So, should I thank you then?"

"I think you indeed should think so." Sargeras shrugged his shoulders and said, "If you wanted to settle the score with me, couldn’t you have gone to my Demon Emperor Palace long ago? Why have you remained silent for so many years since returning?"

Behemoth’s mocking expression intensified, "Do you think I’m unaware that the Demon Emperor Palace has the grand formation set up by the Demon Emperor back then? At the Demon Emperor Palace, you can exert Heaven-Earth Realm peak strength. If I go to you, am I just setting myself up to be ambushed again?"

"It seems you are quite smart, hmm? How come everyone used to say you had no brains?" Sargeras smiled, though his voice was quite jarring.

"Alright, now that you’ve fought to this extent, I indeed should come out and wrap things up." Sargeras waved his hand lightly with a smile, "One is clearly in the Soul Realm, yet possesses Palm Realm level combat power. The other is an authentic Early Heaven-Earth Realm powerhouse, a harvest of great value. By devouring you two, my cultivation will increase dramatically again."

Li Chen raised his head and looked at the white-robed Demon Emperor named Sargeras, and finally spoke for the first time, "Do you really think you’ve got me figured out?"

Sargeras turned his gaze to Li Chen, casually laughing, "Isn’t it so?"

Li Chen scrutinized this powerhouse known as the Demon Emperor and spoke, "It seems you’re not a true Palm Realm then? Stuck at the True Realm Peak for so many years, although your actual combat power might be very close to Palm Realm, you still aren’t."

Sargeras’s eyes squinted slightly, this was his sore spot. Back then, in pursuit of momentary strength, he forcibly entered the True Realm. Yet all these years later, he was still stuck at the True Realm Peak, unable to break through.

Though he had ruled the Demon Realm for countless years, devoured a massive amount of powerhouse origins, and experienced rapid power surges, he was unable to break through to the true Palm Realm.

Now, being brought up by Li Chen, made him, who had always appeared as if in breezy tranquility, somewhat irritated.

But evidently, Sargeras’s embarrassment and anger did not deter Li Chen.

Looking at Sargeras, Li Chen continued to say, "Precisely because you are not a true Palm Realm, even if you possess True Realm Peak cultivation and even surpass ordinary True Realm Peak strength, you dare not show up easily. Because once you appear, whether facing me or Behemoth the old Behemoth, only death awaits."

"So you chose to reveal yourself when both of us are so battered that we’re about to become a spent force. Only at this time do you dare show yourself, right?" Li Chen chuckled.

Sargeras’s expression could no longer remain calm.

Because Li Chen hit the nail on the head, more so with unreserved ridicule for him.

Unable to face either of them directly, only daring to appear now to profit cheaply.

"Even if what you say is right, so what?" Sargeras sneered, "Do you now have the strength to oppose me?"

Li Chen hit the nail on the head, he pointedly pointed out Li Chen and Behemoth’s current state.

Fighting to this extent, whether it be Li Chen or Behemoth, their full strength at least has diminished by seventy to eighty percent. The little that remains, he is confident in devouring.

Exactly as Li Chen stated, which is why he dares to appear now.

At this time, Li Chen looked at Behemoth, "What are your thoughts?"

Behemoth’s voice was icy, "You and he must die!"

"Incorrect." Li Chen shook his head, "No wonder he said your brain isn’t quite functioning."

Turning around, Li Chen looked at the white-cloaked Demon Emperor, "So you’re Demon Emperor Sargeras? Even though Behemoth isn’t too bright, he is an authentic Palm Realm powerhouse, while you’re merely at the True Realm, what right do you have to shout here?"

"Against a true Palm Realm, my Formation Path is powerless, but against you..."

Speaking, Li Chen smirked slightly, waved his hand, and abruptly, massive amounts of Divine Radiance erupted from the surrounding space.

This is... the light of a formation.

Tenth Level Grand Formation... True Sky-Cleaving Formation!
