My gorgeous wife Chapter 2303 - 2271: The Terrifying Shadow

"You... who are you really?"

Gazing at this figure, Li Chen’s expression tightened for a moment and then relaxed.

It couldn’t be Feng Yizhu, Feng Yizhu had already died in the Lower Realm, and even before his death, he was at most at the Earth Level, not even reaching the Heavenly Level. How could he have waited here for seventeen eras?

According to current theories in the Starry Universe, an era lasts at least a billion years, and a long era could reach over ten billion years.

Seventeen eras, what a long passage of time that is!

Moreover, Li Chen was certain that Feng Yizhu would never speak to someone in this manner.

In Li Chen’s impression, Feng Yizhu was a terrifying enemy, soft-hearted, intelligent, and meticulously calculating.

But for a bit of bad luck, he feared he would not be the Li Chen he is today.

And this Shadow before him, from beginning to end, gave Li Chen only one feeling.

Calmness.

A stillness to the point of deathly silence.

Li Chen felt neither goodwill nor hostility, and even when mentioning seventeen eras, it remained as calm as water.

"Who am I?"

This was the second time Shadow had heard this same question, but the answer it gave was different from before.

"Actually, to say exactly who I am, I don’t remember." The face belonging to Feng Yizhu on Shadow’s body showed a trace of confusion: "It seems I haven’t thought about this question for a long time."

Li Chen’s emotions gradually calmed down by this time: "Then why are you waiting for me, what do you want to do?"

"Hmm, let me think..." Shadow slowly used its ’hand’ to hold its head, then looked somewhat stunned at Li Chen: "Forgot."

Li Chen was suddenly full of black lines.

Forgot?

Screw you!

You start out with such a momentum throwing out the line that you’ve waited seventeen eras for me, and in the end, you send me off with an "I forgot"?

"Hmm, let me think again..." Shadow with the face of Feng Yizhu frowned, recalled: "Back then, when the original body self-destructed, it perished together with an Origin Realm powerhouse, the Divine Soul shattered and dispersed across the universe, but before the self-destruction, the original body seemed to have split me out, telling me one thing, to wait here for you."

"At that time... what did the original body say?" Shadow tried hard to remember.

Although it was just talking to itself, the contents somewhat startled Li Chen.

Perished together with an Origin Realm powerhouse?

What level is Origin Realm? Sky-obscuring Powerhouse!

That is the strongest known, and what realm could this Shadow’s original body have that it could perish together with an Origin Realm powerhouse?

Or, in the era of the Seven Realms War, is there some unknown secret hidden?

"No, it’s not right." Shadow held its head, seeming somewhat troubled.

"Must wait for that person, tell him the truth, make sure to prevent... also, never let... know!"

A scene flashed through Shadow’s mind.

Then, it raised its head again and looked at Li Chen.

In its eyes, for an instant, countless images flashed, though these images were just fragmented scenes, after all, it was just a Shadow, slightly better than those shattered soul fragments scattered throughout the universe, but not by much.

"You... who are you really?"

This question was asked by Shadow.

This time, it was Li Chen’s brow that furrowed.

What on earth is going on?

"I am Li Chen, from the Heaven Realm, a cultivator of the Starry Universe." Realizing the seriousness of the matter, Li Chen did not hesitate and spoke directly.

"Li Chen... Li Chen..." Shadow repeated Li Chen’s name, its expression becoming more and more dazed.

"Is it that person, or is it him..."

After a long time, Shadow came back to itself, looking at Li Chen once more. At this moment, it seemed finally to have awakened from its daze, and when looking at Li Chen, its eyes were incredibly complex.

"I have met the right person, yet also the person who should not have come." Shadow’s face revealed an extremely complex and indescribable expression: "Original body, should I say it or not?"

However, it was evident that its original body could no longer answer this question.

Because its original body had died countless years ago, true death, where even the Divine Soul was shattered into countless pieces in the self-destruction, perishing together with an Origin Realm powerhouse.

Impossible to resurrect again.

Li Chen’s body suddenly tensed, ready to act at any time.

Because he sensed that a powerful force suddenly enveloped the small lake area.

This force was terrifyingly strong.

In just an instant, all of Li Chen’s connections, including his Divine Sense, were directly cut off by this force.

Before Li Chen could unleash the Power of the Universe, a terrifying pressure descended, forcibly pushing the Power of the Universe he hadn’t used yet back into his body.

With his late phase Heaven and Earth Realm cultivation, he hadn’t even had time to make any resistance before being restrained by someone!

What kind of terrifying force is this?

It was like when Li Chen was still in the Domain Realm, imprisoned by a Domain Realm of the Soul Realm.

He couldn’t move at all!

"This is the power of a Dao Saint." Even suppressed to the point where he couldn’t even open his mouth, and his Divine Sense couldn’t extend out, Shadow seemed unaffected.

"Although you are in the late phase of the Heaven and Earth Realm, compared to a Dao Saint in the Palm Source Realm, there’s a fundamental difference. Under the suppression of a Dao Saint’s power, you have no chance to resist." Shadow slowly spoke.

Seeing that Li Chen still hadn’t given up struggling, continuing to resist violently, trying to break free of the suppression, Shadow suddenly shook its head.

At once, the pressure on Li Chen increased several times.

Now, Li Chen’s body was bent by the terrifying force.

This force no longer just acted outside his body, even the source of all his powers was firmly sealed by an invisible force.

The pressure hadn’t increased, but Li Chen’s resistance weakened, leading to a surge in pressure.

Shadow’s movements were still slow, as if the countless years of waiting had completely aged this Shadow body, making simple movements exceedingly difficult, like an elderly man in his twilight years.

Yet the force it exhibited in an instant was enough to shock the entire Starry Universe.

"This sentence from the original body is for me to leave hope for the Starry Universe’s future. But from you, I see not only hope but also destruction. That belongs to... that person’s stuff. Tell me, should I warn you, or destroy you now?"
