My gorgeous wife Chapter 2312 - 2280: Palace Master

Heaven Extinguishing Palace was an incomparably vast and incomparably terrifying organization.

The entire Heaven Extinguishing Palace was composed of powerhouses who had gone into hiding after one great war after another.

To be noticed by Heaven Extinguishing Palace and taken in as a member, the weakest was still a Soul Realm expert; among them were even quite a few Palm Realm Powerhouses.

Ancient Ancestor Snow Maple, Ye Zhiqiu, was one of the members of Heaven Extinguishing Palace.

Heaven Extinguishing Palace had many rules, and one of them was that its members must never reveal their identity to anyone, not even to the closest family or their most beloved.

Back then, Ancient Ancestor Snow Maple, Ye Zhiqiu, had revealed her identity to Li Changcun, and that was how she was discovered by Heaven Extinguishing Palace and ultimately seized by force.

Because Heaven Extinguishing Palace was simply too special.

Within it, not only were there members from many Races of the Starry Universe, even people from Era-Ancient Civilization lived here.

If such an organization possessing extraordinary Martial Force were exposed, it would not only be hunted endlessly by the Undying Holy Realm powerhouses of the Starry Universe; even if they fled into the Minor Universes of Era-Ancient Civilization, they would have nowhere to shelter themselves.

Because this combination of differing factions was, from the very beginning, a kind of betrayal.

A betrayal of everyone!

No faction would ever permit an organization like Heaven Extinguishing Palace to exist.

Let alone that Heaven Extinguishing Palace had long prepared to make a huge profit in that final decisive war, only to come out and pick up the spoils after all factions had crippled each other.

This plan allowed for no mistakes.

Back then, when Heaven Extinguishing Palace originally took Ancient Ancestor Snow Maple, Ye Zhiqiu, away, they had planned to directly slaughter Li Changcun and the others.

But under Ancient Ancestor Snow Maple’s disregard for her own life and Ice Wing Ancestor Audrey Hera’s pleadings, the Heaven Extinguishing Palace powerhouses finally spared the lives of Li Changcun’s entire family.

Otherwise, this family would have disappeared many years ago.

As for how Heaven Extinguishing Palace was formed, and who its true master was—

Li Changcun did not know.

Nor did he need to know.

He only knew that today, no matter what, he had to take Ye Zhiqiu away!

Because, back then, he had secretly heard Ye Zhiqiu’s punishment from Audrey Hera’s mouth.

As the Energy source for all day-to-day operations of Heaven Extinguishing Palace, she was to be confined for one billion years!

Unless the ultimate war began ahead of schedule, she was never to be released early.

To be used as the extracted Energy source?

One billion years?!

"You bastards really deserve to die!!"

Looking at the enemies filling the sky, among them Soul Realm, True Realm, and even several Heaven and Earth Realm existences, endless fury burned in Li Changcun’s chest.

Yet back then he had merely been an ordinary Heaven-level Martial Artist, not even having reached Connected Domain Realm—what could he do?

Powerless.

Powerless to resist.

He could only watch, eyes wide open, as his own wife, the mother of his children, was taken away by this group.

There was even a Restriction set within her Soul, forbidding her from ever revealing the slightest word about Heaven Extinguishing Palace to anyone, or she would instantly self-destruct and die.

This matter could only be silently borne by him.

And only he could bear it.

This pain tormented him for hundreds of years on end; with every day, every moment, he thought of his wife. Within this torment, he grew ever stronger, and ever colder and more rigid.

Because when killing enemies, he never looked at the opponent’s strength or numbers, people gave him the title of Mad Heavenly King.

But no one knew the despair in his heart.

It was the despair of knowing that no matter how strong he became, he still could not resist his enemies.

Yet even despair did not break him; within this despair, he only grew stronger and stronger. Li Chen’s mind and will were incomparably powerful, but he did not know that his father’s will was even stronger!

Li Changcun’s path into the Palm Realm was also...the Path of Despair.

And today, he had come.

"Zhi Qiu, it’s time to go home." Li Changcun said softly.

Centered on Li Changcun, a terrifying aura suddenly swept across the entire space. Within this rampaging aura, streaks of black-and-Red lightning flashed from time to time. In that instant, even the Pseudo-Universe around Li Changcun was dyed black and Red.

"Kill!"

"Kill him!"

"Shatter his Divine Soul. As for his body, I want it! A Human Heaven and Earth Realm—I haven’t seen one in many years."

Li Changcun surveyed his surroundings, took in the enemies filling the sky, and burst into wild laughter: "Kill me? Let’s see which of us kills which!!"

"Light of Despair!"

Black-and-Red radiance instantly illuminated the entire space; all the powerhouses covered by the light unconsciously slowed a fraction in their movements.

Their killing intent was retreating, and their fighting will was collapsing.

Their hearts were drowning in despair.

"Slay—God!!!!!!"

A massive Sword Qi swept toward everyone.

At the same time, the few Heaven and Earth Realm powerhouses who reacted first and finally rekindled their fighting spirit erupted with full strength, wildly bombarding Li Changcun.

They had realized how powerful the enemy was and no longer dared be careless. This time, they were determined to eliminate this enemy with their full strength.

Under the resistance of several Heaven and Earth Realm powerhouses, some Soul Realm and True Realm experts also snapped out of it and simultaneously unleashed their own ultimate killing moves.

At this moment, deeper in space, more figures began to emerge.

These figures hovered in the air, not taking action, merely watching from afar, indistinct and hazy.

"Yet another fool who doesn’t know when he’s courting death." Among these powerhouses who had not struck, someone suddenly sneered, shaking his head.

"Just an Early Heaven and Earth Realm. No matter how astounding his combat power is, what sort of storm can he possibly stir up within Heaven Extinguishing Palace?" Another person likewise laughed coldly. "There are quite a few Middle Stage of Heaven-Earth Realm and even Late Stage here. Even if he’s stronger, how many can he possibly deal with?"

At this moment, a Shadow suddenly emerged within the crowd.

"I hear he’s Ancient Ancestor Snow Maple’s partner?"

The two who were speaking immediately straightened their expressions and hurriedly bowed toward the Shadow. "Palace Master."

"Seems so. I heard him say earlier that he came this time to take Ancient Ancestor Snow Maple away. But just an Early Heaven-Earth Realm..."

"Mm." The Palace Master lightly nodded. "If I remember correctly, Ancient Ancestor Snow Maple has only been under punishment for a bit over five hundred years, yes? And her sentence is one billion years."

"Yes, Palace Master."

"Five hundred-odd years... Back then I seem to recall hearing that Ancient Ancestor Snow Maple’s partner was nothing but an ant-like lifeform? Just five hundred-some years, and an ant can achieve Ancient Ancestor?" the Palace Master asked.

"That, this Subordinate does not know." The one who answered gave a dry laugh.

"Then let’s do this: try to capture him alive and see if we can absorb him into our Heaven Extinguishing Palace. If he’s willing to admit his crimes, we can consider cutting Ancient Ancestor Snow Maple’s sentence in half, but the price is that he must serve as our Heaven Extinguishing Palace’s Scout buried in the Starry Universe." the Palace Master said.

"Understood, this Subordinate will convey the Palace Master’s message to everyone."

"Of course, if he can’t be taken alive and poses too great a threat, then kill him." the Palace Master said casually.

With that, the Shadow vanished, as though it had never appeared.
