My gorgeous wife Chapter 2248 - 2216: Starry Sky, River of Blood (Part 9)

As divine radiance erupted, Demon Emperor Sargeras was instantly engulfed by the grand formation.

Behemoth frowned as he looked at Li Chen, "When did you set up the formation?"

Li Chen bared his teeth slightly, "Did you forget? I always tear the space before you do?"

Behemoth was silent for a moment, then said, "Don’t expect me to thank you for this. We are still enemies."

Li Chen grinned, "I know, and I have no intention of treating you as a friend. After all, I’m your enemy, but to me, you’re a nemesis."

"Nemesis..." Behemoth chewed on the word lightly, then suddenly smiled, "Are you avenging those few ants killed by my alter ego in the lower realm back then?"

"Yes," Li Chen nodded, "After all, apart from me, there’s no one else who can avenge them. I can only do this hard labor."

"Makes sense," Behemoth agreed.

In the next moment, the two clashed once more.

Due to the pseudo-universe’s collapse, Behemoth lost his absolute advantage and once again engaged in close combat with Li Chen.

The Red Moon was unsheathed, transforming into streaks of blood-colored light, slashing towards Behemoth, while in Behemoth’s hands, two metallic-shining claws appeared.

For Behemoth, he needed no other weapons; his own claws were the best weapons.

"Clang! Clang! Clang!!"

Behemoth once again utilized the Heavenly Slaughter Fighting Technique, clashing madly with Li Chen, while Li Chen, wielding the Red Moon and a blood-colored long saber, transformed into endless rule chains, firmly blocking Behemoth’s claws.

With a thunderous boom, Behemoth suddenly formed a fist with his claw, punching Li Chen’s saber’s back, forcibly knocking the Red Moon off course, and then thrust his claw towards an open-chested Li Chen.

Li Chen’s face contorted slightly; at this moment, he neither dodged nor evaded, letting Behemoth’s claw pierce him, while he forcibly twisted the Red Moon, slashing towards Behemoth’s neck.

"Swish!!"

The two sounds became one; both hit each other almost simultaneously.

Simultaneously, they both raised their other hands, colliding their fists together.

As laws and radiance exploded, both flew backward into the starry sky.

On Li Chen’s chest appeared two blood-gushing holes, the blood uncontrollably pouring out.

His Yuan Force was nearly depleted, even the Three Lives Everything Armor couldn’t support him anymore. The previously radiant armor was forcibly pierced through, and Li Chen’s body, due to the lack of physical energy, recovered incredibly slowly.

Even more troublesome was that the sinister power imbued in Behemoth’s attack finally erupted, constantly killing Li Chen’s body’s regenerative Indestructible Body power.

And Behemoth wasn’t in a better state either.

Although Li Chen’s slash didn’t decapitate him, it struck his shoulder, nearly cleaving half of his body open.

This was only because he belonged to the robust Behemoth Clan and had the Palm Realm’s power forcibly holding his body from complete collapse. If it were someone else, they would’ve been near death with no strength to resist.

As both their conditions worsened, the battle grew increasingly fierce.

"How long do you think it’ll take for us to decide life and death?" Li Chen wiped the crystalline blood sacrifice from the corner of his mouth, asking Behemoth.

Behemoth was silent for a moment, not answering Li Chen’s question.

Though their conditions worsened, if neither pushed the last-resort situation, they might not decide the outcome even after years of battle.

If one side insists on a death struggle, it might take decades.

This wasn’t exaggerating because, from the battle’s level, the three-tier battle allowed both to qualify for the third layer.

That was, with both powerful forces, only by exhausting each other could one slowly deplete the enemy.

Such battles tested both sides’ willpower.

"Seems you already have an answer," Li Chen grinned, but the action seemed to tug at an injury, causing his whole body to shudder in pain.

The insidious force inside also destroyed Li Chen’s Indestructible Body structure and influenced his Primordial Spirit, amplifying the pain by hundreds or thousands of times.

"My grand formation, though a Tenth Level Grand Formation, can only trap this guy named Sargeras, with strength far beyond an average True Realm, for half a week at best," Li Chen said. "Though I really want to kill you, I don’t want others to reap the benefits."

Behemoth was silent for a long time, then nodded, "I think the same."

The battle had reached a white-hot stage, next testing endurance. This reciprocal exhausting of life force took the most time because, at their current realm, merely destroying the physical body wasn’t enough to kill each other.

After destroying the physical body, one must find a way to extinguish the other’s divine soul to kill them.

Such extinguishment took even more time.

But with Demon Emperor Sargeras, who could break through the formation at any moment, this battle was impossible to continue.

"Crack, crack..."

At this moment, not far from their battlefield, came an unpleasant noise from the formation.

Li Chen’s expression changed, sighing softly, "Seems he’s even stronger than I imagined."

By time calculation, after trapping Sargeras, their fight had lasted only a few days, yet Sargeras was almost breaking free.

Behemoth pursed his lips and turned, intending to leave without hesitation.

Li Chen hesitated but also planned to tear the space and leave.

But then, the surrounding space suddenly shook violently.

"What happened?!" Behemoth’s face changed. Under such spatial shock, tearing space to leave was impossible.

To him, neither spatial rift nor chaotic void mattered, but carelessly being thrown out of the starry universe by spatial shock would be fatal.

"Buzz——"

A piercing sound came. Under Li Chen and Behemoth’s gaze, a pitch-black wormhole appeared in the nearby starry sky.

Moreover, the wormhole seemed highly unstable, as though it might collapse any moment.

Yet several figures still quickly shot out of the wormhole.

At this moment, the True Sky-Cleaving Formation that Li Chen had set up, also collapsed suddenly.

Along with it collapsed the already unstable wormhole.

Faintly, several cries of agony emanated from the wormhole.

The figures emerging from the wormhole glanced back at the disappearing wormhole, with lingering fear in their eyes.

But when they turned around, their faces were filled with ferocity and ruthlessness.

"Starry Universe, we... are back again!"
