My gorgeous wife Chapter 2285 - 2253: Divine Skills of Karma

Actually, speaking of it, Li Chen didn’t have much animosity towards the Doomsday Beast Souls.

After all, he had long learned from Zhang Shutong and Zhang Lu that for Doomsday Beast Souls, most are driven by forces beyond their control. From birth, an innate consciousness tells them that their mission is to destroy.

To destroy people, things, and everything they can see.

Until, amidst the starry universe, there is nothing left to destroy.

This is the simple and sorrowful mission of their birth.

Only a few, like Zhang Lu and Zhang Shutong, are able to develop their own will in special circumstances to resist that innate sense of mission.

This is Doomsday Beast Souls.

However, since Li Chen had been in contact with Doomsday Beast Souls, although he had also eradicated many of them, because he had encountered the special existences of Zhang Lu and Zhang Shutong, he didn’t harbor much animosity towards the Doomsday Beast Souls. Despite being adversaries, Li Chen still felt sympathy for such beings in his heart.

His true enemy was still the main body belonging to the Doomsday Beast Soul, the true World-Destroying Beast.

"However, an adversary remains an adversary, that cannot be changed." Li Chen murmured.

"What did you say?" a Doomsday Beast Soul powerhouse stared at Li Chen and said.

Li Chen smiled slightly, remaining silent, but at this moment, he had already made his move.

The True Form Universe unfolded, colliding with the True Form Universes of the six simultaneously.

All seven felt a simultaneous tremor throughout their bodies.

If the six’s True Form Universes were six enormous balloons, then Li Chen’s True Form Universe was a solid iron ball.

Even if this iron ball couldn’t compare in size to the six balloons, how could balloons shake an iron ball?

The six were simultaneously pushed back a million miles, while Li Chen only withdrew less than a hundred miles.

Li Chen’s True Form Universe remained unscathed, yet the six’s True Form Universes simultaneously showed signs of cracking.

"Is this the difference between a Pseudo-Universe and a real Universe?" Li Chen thought to himself as he looked at the six’s True Form Universes.

In a way, he could be considered a Founding Realm powerhouse capable of establishing a universe.

But clearly, his universe was still not perfect, with a very limited number of inhabitants, and in terms of cultivation, his cultivation was not sufficient to support a true universe’s autonomous operation.

Li Chen could use the True Form Universe against enemies, but every time he did, it drained him greatly.

It was like when he was in the Domain Realm and used a Supreme Treasure.

"Forget it, I probably won’t need it to deal with them."

Murmuring to himself, Li Chen’s True Form Universe faded significantly, as he retracted his Minor Universe, leaving behind only a normal Heaven and Earth Realm’s Pseudo-Universe.

It wasn’t that Li Chen couldn’t crush these few with his Minor Universe; it was the energy consumption of using his Minor Universe was too great, and his Minor Universe was still in its growth phase, so if it suffered damage, it would be hard for him to repair with his cultivation.

The primary concern was that the Eternal World Tree, due to expending too much Law of Cause and Effect earlier, was in a dormant state, unable to resonate with the Minor Universe, making it susceptible to damage.

This kind of damage was unbearable for Li Chen.

At least, against these of the same level, he couldn’t afford such damage.

"It’s rare, this time my opponents have a cultivation realm lower than mine." Li Chen suddenly felt amused for some reason.

Throughout his journey, how many enemies has Li Chen faced?

And how many times had his enemies been at a lower realm than him?

But Li Chen knew too, having reached the late phase of the Heaven and Earth Realm, now in the entire Starry Universe, apart from certain old monsters who had hidden for years, there’s really not many who surpassed his realm.

"Join forces!"

Several Doomsday Beast Soul powerhouses glared in fury, roaring, and attacked Li Chen together.

The two were indeed very strong, but in their view, if they joined forces, it wasn’t certain they couldn’t rival Li Chen.

No matter how strong one person is, there’s always a limit.

They didn’t believe that six Heaven and Earth Realm powerhouses together couldn’t be a match for this Hongchen Ancestor.

"Divine Skill — Seal Heaven and Earth!"

"Divine Skill — Eight-Gate Golden Lock!"

"Divine Skill — Death Ban!"

Three Heaven and Earth Realm powerhouses simultaneously made their move, using sealing divine skills at the same time.

To a master with high cultivation, powerful attack divine skills are not feared; the fear is in these types of sealing divine skills.

For them, a life or death decision often comes down to a moment, and if in that moment you’re suddenly immobilized, what kind of terrifying consequence would that be?

"Sealing divine skills?" Li Chen raised his eyebrows; he was no longer the inexperienced cultivator who knew nothing back in the day. At a glance, he recognized that these three sealing divine skills all originated from the innate gods and demons born at the genesis of the Starry Universe.

Innate gods and demons’ Great Divine Skills!

As the three sealing divine skills fell, the other three unleashed an incredibly horrifying offensive simultaneously.

Facing the overwhelming radiance of the laws, Li Chen suddenly grinned: "So this is what it feels like to be high realm bullying low realm folks; no wonder those guys always liked to chase me before."

Confronting the overwhelming radiance, Li Chen lightly tapped his finger twice.

Two fingers, two divine skills.

One "Locking Heaven and Earth," directly neutralizing and counteracting the three great sealing divine skills.

One Cease Spear was enough to rebound the three great offensive Divine Skills, until they completely collapsed.

In an instant, Li Chen effortlessly neutralized the six formidable Divine Skills wielded by the six individuals.

In their bewilderment, the six exchanged glances, each seeing disbelief and despair mirrored in the other’s eyes.

How is this possible?!

They are six powerful beings at the level of Heaven and Earth Realm!

Their formation of a deadly trap, easily dismantled by this person’s two-fingered technique?

Just how powerful is this Hongchen Ancestor?

"Run!"

Without much exchange, just a glance sufficed for them to understand each other’s intentions, and they turned to scatter and escape.

The lethal standoff they had formed with their mighty Divine Skills was so effortlessly dismantled; if they continued to fight, the outcome was obvious, so they had no choice but to flee.

Watching the six about to escape, Li Chen shook his head gently.

In the past, it was always he who fled.

"Finally, no longer being chased down like a lost dog." Staring at the star-studded sky, a sense of indescribable nostalgia flickered in Li Chen’s eyes.

At the same moment, Li Chen stretched out his right hand, fingers spread wide.

"Cause."

Azure light suddenly surged forth from Li Chen’s palm at an unbelievable speed, falling upon the six before they could escape.

It seemed as if this light had already been there before they attempted to flee.

"Cause is the premise, before all; thus, no matter how fast you are, you cannot exceed this ’premise’," Li Chen whispered.

"When you decided to assassinate in the Netherworld, we had already established the cause."

"And as you failed the assassination, not being my match, the consequence can only be your demise; this is the effect."

Li Chen spoke to himself, unconcerned with whether they heard, as he gradually delved into his own insights.

Insights on cause and effect.

Cause and effect undoubtedly represent an overwhelmingly powerful Law.

Though not ranked among the Four Supreme Laws, it is an incredibly sinister Law Power, comparable to the Reincarnation Law, which, despite its unremarkable offense, is coveted by many.

In Li Chen’s insights, cause is a premise, before all.

Effect is a result, after all.

This was the first Divine Skill Li Chen grasped after understanding the Law of Cause and Effect.

"Divine Skill—End Sequence."

End Chapter and prologue, beginning and end.

This is the Divine Skill of Cause and Effect.

As the words fell, Li Chen’s fingers suddenly clenched, causing the six at the Heaven and Earth Realm to scream as they began to melt, surprisingly transforming into lush azure fruits!

The six powerful Palm Realm experts were thus forcefully refined into six fruits by Li Chen using his Divine Skill!

Of course, these fruits were no ordinary fruits.

Each contained the lifetime essence of a Heaven and Earth Realm expert. Consuming such a fruit equaled inheriting everything from that Palm Realm powerhouse.

However, the premise is that you must withstand the surge of Heaven and Earth Realm Power throughout your body.

To most cultivators, unless they are at the Palm Realm, consuming such a fruit results in one outcome only.

That outcome is death.

Li Chen picked up one fruit, took a bite.

"Very sweet." He gave a candid assessment.

Understand that within such a fruit, there wasn’t only the terrifying entirety of a Heaven and Earth Realm expert’s energy but also endless Lawful Order. Swallow the fruit, and one must accept all Law Power possessed by the Heaven and Earth Realm expert.

If one’s will is even slightly weak or their Realm a bit lower, one’s path would likely be replaced by the path of the Heaven and Earth Realm.

But to Li Chen, who has already formed a complete Sea of Laws, such a minor amount of Law is merely a drop in the ocean.

Amidst the Starry Sky, Li Chen found a floating meteorite and sat down, then looked aside: "Come out, did you really think I couldn’t see you?"

An adjacent meteorite suddenly shattered, and a silhouette appeared not far in front of Li Chen, kneeling deeply: "Bruce greets the Hongchen Ancestor, thanks to the Ancestor for the assistance in the past!"

"Hmm." Li Chen nodded, without continuing, as this was a Soul Realm expert from the Demon Realm, coincidentally one that Li Chen unintentionally saved while seeking Behemoth years ago.

In a few short years, who would have thought Bruce, then just at the Seventh Rank Soul Realm, had already crossed into the Ninth Order Soul Realm.

"The Banquet Era, truly a good era indeed." Even Li Chen couldn’t help but express such sentiment.

"That I reached today is thanks to the Ancestor allowing me to watch that battle in the past; it benefited me immensely. After leaving the Demon Realm, I’ve been cultivating in the depths of the Starry Sky, never thought I’d meet the Ancestor’s presence again, truly an utmost honor." Bruce expressed with evident excitement.

Li Chen laughed and waved a hand, Bruce knowingly quieted down.

Yet Li Chen’s gaze was cast deep into the Starry Sky.

There, concerning the fate calculations with Li Changcun, had not changed.
