My gorgeous wife Chapter 2282 - 2250: Li Chen’s Support

Now, it is the third century of the Banquet Era.

Since the birth of the Starry Universe, 14 billion years have passed. Except for the most primitive era belonging to the Innate Gods and Demons, countless cultivators have been exploring the path of cultivation since the formal advent of starry universe civilizations.

The Palm Realm has always been an insurmountable threshold for many powerhouses.

Not only for the offspring of the Innate Gods and Demons but even for many of the Innate Gods and Demons themselves.

Some Innate Gods and Demons with powerful talents also find themselves stuck at the threshold of the Palm Realm, unable to cross it. As eras progressed, the Innate Gods and Demons gradually faded, leaving the Starry Universe to the cultivators of the new era.

However, the Palm Realm remains a colossal barrier, blocking countless outstanding geniuses.

Even in the most glorious Seven Realms Era of the Starry Universe, there weren’t many powerhouses of the Palm Realm Rank.

And in the eras following it, with the outbreak of the Seven Realms War, Palm Realm powerhouses became hidden legends in the hearts of many cultivators.

Most people aren’t even aware of the Palm Realm Rank’s existence.

With the onset of the Banquet Era, the term "Palm Realm" finally came into the awareness of many powerhouses.

They gradually came to realize that the Soul Realm Ninth Stage is not the ultimate destination in cultivation.

The Palm Realm is the truly elusive endpoint.

Yet, how to achieve the Palm Realm remains a significant challenge. Even though some powerhouses brushed against the threshold of this dazzling era, they are still far from truly crossing it.

Today, a major event took place in the Borderland Realm.

A gigantic event.

In the last momentous event in the Borderland Realm, after Hongchen Ancestor and Lingbao the Ancestral Being achieved the Palm Realm, another powerhouse is becoming the third to achieve the Palm Realm!

Nether Heavenly Venerable!

On this day, many powerhouses who received the news couldn’t help but gaze at the sky in emotion.

"As expected of the first person of the Starry Universe back then, Red Dust Heavenly Sovereign. What an extraordinary lineage. After achieving Ancient Ancestor status, how many years has it been? Now Nether Heavenly Venerable is also becoming an Ancient Ancestor."

"Heh, rumor has it that this time, Hongchen Ancestor will personally assist Nether Heavenly Venerable in becoming an Ancient Ancestor!" someone remarked with a hint of envy.

"Are you saying that Nether Heavenly Venerable is simply lucky?"

"Do you think otherwise?"

"When Nether Heavenly Venerable was Eighth Rank, he could render ordinary Ninth Order Heavenly Venerates defenseless. When he reached Ninth Order, he was acknowledged to have slaughtered a True Realm Starry Sky Behemoth. If you can achieve that, I’m sure Hongchen Ancestor would help you too," the first person spoke sarcastically.

"..."

No matter what others said, at this time, Li Chen and Nether had already arrived outside the Borderland Realm.

At the gate of the Borderland Realm, many powerhouses responsible for guarding the gate watched the two figures exiting with fervent gazes.

Both of these individuals are the pillars and pride of the entire Borderland Realm.

Though they envied Nether’s lucky opportunity, they understood that even with Hongchen Ancestor’s help, they might not be able to break into the Palm Realm if they were in his shoes.

Yet, Nether Heavenly Venerable was different.

"Are you ready?"

Li Chen looked at Nether and calmly spoke.

He paid no heed to those quietly observing in the Borderland Realm as his goal this time was not only to help Nether achieve the Palm Realm but also to demonstrate his power.

To make it clear to everyone that the people around Li Chen were not easily provoked.

Coming outside the Borderland Realm was deliberate, for Li Chen knew that although those folks had been dormant over the years, they would never give up.

Undoubtedly, there might be Era-Ancient Civilization monitoring and Doomsday Beast Souls spying on this place at this moment.

However, Li Chen did not care at all.

He wanted them to see!

"Dad, I’m ready." Nether nodded solemnly.

Li Chen responded softly, "Then... let’s begin."

"Universe, manifest!"

With a flick of his finger, a grand True Form Universe abruptly expanded from Li Chen as the center.

It wasn’t a Pseudo-Universe or a Yin Universe, but a true universe that surpassed these two Great Ranks!

Though this universe is still within the Starry Universe, it is, at any rate, a completely independent, truly existing True Form Universe!

This was also Li Chen’s former minor world.

"Create!"

With a soft chant, a thought from Li Chen altered the entire Miniature Universe abruptly.

Except for the already formed stars which remained steadfast, innumerable violent gales surged within the space of the Miniature Universe.

These gales were not real winds but... blade light.

"Blade Realm, form!"

Countless blade lights formed an enormous world, suddenly enveloping Nether within.

These were blade lights, but also laws.

They were the laws Li Chen had specially prepared for Nether!

To this day, Li Chen’s Sea of Laws was fully perfected, containing all the laws Nether needed to advance to the Palm Realm!

"Comprehend well, the power of the Palm Realm."

Li Chen exhaled softly, then grasped toward the Blade Realm that ensnared Nether.

The Blade Realm suddenly contracted, engulfing Nether entirely.

However, while the Blade Realm baptized Nether, it barely inflicted superficial wounds; even if Nether stood still unguarded, the blade lights would not kill him.

This display of power far exceeded what the Early Heaven-Earth Realm could possess.

Low-Rank cultivators evidently couldn’t discern much, but if observed by a Palm Realm Rank powerhouse, they would astutely notice that such control power had long exceeded the Early Heaven-Earth Realm.

At least... it was the Middle Stage of Heaven-Earth Realm, perhaps even... Late Stage!

Regarding the surge in cultivation, Li Chen naturally wouldn’t explain, nor was there a need to.

This was the cause he sowed with a seed, and the result achieved with nine fruits.

The seed was none other than... the Eternal World Tree!

Such a seed, even using the Eternal World Tree as a cause, exhausted a full third of the Eternal World Tree’s energy as a cost.

Bear in mind, the existence of the Eternal World Tree was not just a matter of one Era; it likely predates multiple Eras. Such an ancient existence’s third of energy was terrifying to the utmost degree.

It’s fair to say that even a Dao Saint, in terms of internal energy accumulation alone, could absolutely not match such an ancient existence.

Within the Blade Realm, with eyes shut and a long blade in hand, Nether’s entire being began to gradually exude a sharp aura.

At the same time, a faint light screen began to appear around Nether. Initially, it was a phantom shape, then it became spherical, and then seed-like, before finally, under the baptism of the Blade Realm, it became tough and materialized.

Seeing this, a gratified smile emerged on Li Chen’s lips.

Nether had not let him down.

All these years, it had always been this way.
