My gorgeous wife Chapter 2255 - 2223: Starry Sky River of Blood (Part 16)
Previously on My gorgeous wife...
There’s really no other way.
To be able to hold on until now is already the result of everyone’s efforts.
Whether it’s the Black Armored Underworld Army, Ning Wangyang and Heavenly Venerable Qinglong, or the Spiritual Treasure, all have paid significant costs to buy time for Li Chen.
Though no words were exchanged, everyone knew in their hearts.
A Palm Realm powerhouse is not so easy to deal with, let alone Li Chen, who has directly taken on the strongest Early Heaven-Earth Realm of the Four Great Palm Realms this time.
They have no other way.
The only option might be to fight desperately.
Fortunately, the Spiritual Treasure had a sudden awakening, a stroke of good fortune, breaking through the final barrier to achieve the true Heaven and Earth Realm, or else things would be even worse now, with even more grievous casualties.
Indeed, having broken through to the Heaven and Earth Realm, the Spiritual Treasure bore the greatest pressure in this battle and gained the most time.
"Let me go." At this time, Zhang Shutong shook his head, "Your current state has barely recovered to seventy percent at most, right? Charging in won’t make much difference. At least, I have the Doomsday Beast Soul, so he can’t kill me. Helping you hold off for a while should be no problem."
Upon hearing Zhang Shutong’s words, Li Chen paused in silence but did not respond.
"Don’t worry." Zhang Shutong shrugged with a smile, "I’m not that easy to kill."
With those words, Zhang Shutong joined the battlefield, beginning to unleash a frenzied Law of Destruction attack on Jian Liu.
Bear in mind, the Law of Destruction is one of the most powerful laws in the Starry Universe, and given Zhang Shutong’s current strength, even a powerhouse like Jian Liu absolutely wouldn’t dare stand still and let him strike.
Li Chen watched Zhang Shutong depart, slightly pursing his lips.
Indeed, the Doomsday Beast Soul won’t die; very few can detect their Soul of the Law, not even Palm Realm powerhouses. However, Zhang Shutong can die.
If Zhang Shutong’s current body perishes, the Soul of the Law might survive, but the part of Zhang Shutong that influences the memory and character affecting the Soul of the Law would also vanish.
Even if the Soul of the Law inhabits a new existence, it would no longer be Zhang Shutong.
Li Chen clenched his fists, removing his damaged, bloodstained black clothes, casually burning them, and changed into a new set.
Only this set of clothes was white.
This was chosen by Lin Yi for him.
Lin Yi said he always wore black, looking gloomy like an old man; sometimes he should try something different.
So, Lin Yi picked out this white robe for him.
The white robe carried silver stripes, appearing extremely exquisite. At this moment, worn by Li Chen, it indeed looked quite fitting. Simply put, Lin Yi’s taste wasn’t wrong at all.
"But what is my Way of the Palm Realm?"
Li Chen looked at his sleeve, suddenly falling into deep thought.
Spiritual Treasure had an epiphany, realizing the Palm Realm.
Yet all these years, although Li Chen’s strength steadily rose, he had never touched the threshold of his Palm Realm.
Perhaps it was because he didn’t know how to enter the Palm Realm.
He had too many choices, so much so that he didn’t know which to choose.
This was Li Chen’s current condition.
Five Elements? Wind and Thunder? Light and Darkness? Or Space-Time, Life and Death, Blood...
And so on and so forth, Li Chen could choose any one for deep insight and thus enter the Palm Realm in one go.
But for some reason, Li Chen felt that none of these were what he wanted as his Palm Realm.
"What was your original intention?"
Just as Li Chen was bewildered, an ancient voice suddenly echoed in his mind, so neutral that its gender was undetectable.
This voice wasn’t from the Supreme Treasure, nor was it transmitted by someone.
Li Chen was shocked to find out that the speaker was the Seven Realms Tome, which had always been hovering in his consciousness, almost never moving!
If the Seven Realms Tome hadn’t spoken up, he might have nearly forgotten he had such a powerful treasure in his body, even more mysterious than the Supreme Treasure!
"My original intention..."
After the initial shock, Li Chen gradually calmed down.
Having revived the Seven Realms Tome a few times, those times it shielded him from mortal danger, he knew that although the Seven Realms Tome never acknowledged him as its master, it indeed bore him no malice.
Moreover, the cultivation techniques Li Chen practiced along his journey were all tailored from the Seven Realms Tome.
He could not have reached where he was today without the achievements brought by the Seven Realms Tome.
Upon hearing the Seven Realms Tome’s words, Li Chen suddenly recalled his time as an ordinary person in the Lower Realm, with some Kung Fu, but far from reaching Yellow Rank.
"I just wanted... a home."
"A home, with family, living freely and leisurely, unrestrained. If someone bullies my family, I could retaliate fiercely. A secure, stable, peaceful home..." Li Chen couldn’t help but mutter.
This was his original intention.
Such a simple, sincere wish.
But without knowing when, he was forced onto the path of the Martial Artist.
And then, step by step, he reached where he was today.
He became the Red Dust Heavenly Sovereign, one of the strongest under the Palm Realm in the Starry Universe.
Yet simultaneously, countless burdens unknowingly fell upon his shoulders.
This wasn’t what he wanted; all he desired was a calm, simple, warm, sincere, and undisturbed home.
"Simple, yet difficult." The obscure, elusive voice of the Seven Realms Tome said plainly, "Such a home can only be built by yourself."
"Only I can build it..." Li Chen kept repeating this sentence, seemingly absorbed in thought.
"Build a home, a home existing in my dreams. A world existing in my imagination..."
As Li Chen muttered, he couldn’t help but wave his hand to open the portal to the minor world.
"A world, I have. A home, built on the foundation of the world. If I want to create my home, I need to perfect my world first..."
"I want to create everything imagined in my world..."
In a flash, Li Chen vanished.
He disappeared into the starry sky.
He appeared in his minor world.
Looking at the minor world’s ground beneath his feet, Li Chen seemed entranced, crazily surging the Law and cultivation power recently recovered within him.
"Heaven and Earth... World... Home."
At this moment, the entire minor world began a radical transformation.
With Li Chen’s continuously emerging power of Laws, the previously massive but somewhat monotonous minor world suddenly blossomed with much vitality.
Some plants inexplicably appeared, as did tiny life forms like bacteria, insectoids, which strangely came into being in the minor world.
It was precisely these that brought genuine Breath of Life to the minor world.
Even the Spirit Plants originally growing in the minor world became much more spirited.
Li Chen didn’t know what he was doing, but many eras’ civilizations were termed by some of the top powerhouses as... Creation!
