My gorgeous wife Chapter 2325 - 2293: Master of the Universe
Previously on My gorgeous wife...
Li Chen was acutely aware of the difficulties of this mission.
Especially given the situation where the Heaven Extinguishing Palace was suspected to have a Dao Saint level powerhouse, which rendered his situation even more perilous.
Regarding his own circumstances, after encountering the Shadow Dao Saint last time, Li Chen gained some clarity.
Facing a powerhouse of the Heaven and Earth Realm, Li Chen could act fearlessly, even if the opponent’s cultivation had reached the peak of the Heaven and Earth Realm. Li Chen dared to fight and even had considerable confidence in winning.
Moreover, even when faced with an assault from multiple opponents, Li Chen could remain fearless.
But if the opponent was a Dao Saint, it would be different.
Dao Saints and Ancient Ancestors are virtually in entirely different worlds.
Triple Palm Realm, each layer is more terrifying than the last, and the differences between each layer are even greater.
The Shadow Dao Saint had previously demonstrated this huge gap between Dao Saint and Ancient Ancestor to Li Chen.
Even though he was already at the Late Phase of the Heaven and Earth Realm, even though his strength surpassed typical strong individuals of the same grade significantly, he still had no chance against a Dao Saint.
The Dao Saint overwhelms the Ancient Ancestor in terms of realm, cultivation, and cosmos. No matter how strong Li Chen is, he cannot defy these absolute principles of the world.
Perhaps, when facing a Dao Saint, Li Chen’s only advantage is his True Shape Universe.
Because his True Shape Universe is different from others.
Unlike the Ancient Ancestor, unlike the Dao Saint, and even different from the Pseudo-Universe of the Sky-obscuring Powerhouse.
Because, to some degree.
Li Chen... possesses two universes.
One is the Pseudo-Universe achieved after advancing to the Heaven and Earth Realm, and the other one...
"What is this?!"
Even Shang, upon the eruption of that terrifying force, couldn’t help but pause momentarily.
Unlike ordinary power confrontations, it felt like being crushed by an entire universe.
Even he felt his own insignificance at this moment.
And the universe that suddenly unfolded, centered around Li Chen, instantly clarified the cosmic laws.
"Create!"
Situated in the Center of the Universe, Li Chen, as the creator of this universe, was the supreme master of it.
Vaguely, within Li Chen’s universe, some small life forms began to appear on certain stars.
This was a universe in growth, and these small life forms were the earliest batch of life in this growing universe.
Perhaps, someday when Li Chen transcends the Sky-obscuring and reaches a realm that no one has ever witnessed, his universe could transform into a Great Universe, and these small life forms would become... Innate Gods and Demons of this Great Universe!
Of course, all this is still too distant for Li Chen.
What he needs to do right now is... use his universe to explode the Underground Palace!
That’s right, explode it.
The Underground Palace is vast, and has numerous restrictions, even Li Chen as a Formation Path Grandmaster couldn’t directly crack them in a short time.
And since Shang’s alter ego appeared, it also indicated that perhaps his true body might emerge anytime.
In such circumstances, Li Chen simply didn’t have enough time to break through the formation.
No matter how miraculous the Seven Realms Tome is, without sufficient time to study it, it’s all in vain.
For nearly two hundred years, Li Chen devoted himself entirely to cultivation, neglecting the Alchemy Dao and Formation Path.
He had no choice; his time was extremely tight.
So, if the formation couldn’t be broken, use the simplest and direct method.
"I don’t believe that your formation can trap a real universe." Li Chen looked decisively at Ye Zhiqiu, and simultaneously, blade light shot swiftly, transforming into countless ’Rain Needles,’ piercing toward Ye Zhiqiu.
That was Li Chen’s strongest method of breaking through, Divine Skill—Drifting Rain!
"Sss—"
Under Drifting Rain, the law threads wrapped around Ye Zhiqiu broke apart one by one in an instant.
At the same time, losing Ye Zhiqiu as the core caused issues in many areas of the Heaven Extinguishing Palace.
Some Divine Mountains began spewing Earthly Fire, engulfing the vast expanse of land on the Divine Mountains.
And in the firmament, the fake ’starry sky’ deliberately crafted by the Heaven Extinguishing Palace lost its luster, leaving only dark void behind.
Because this place was originally a concealed dark space.
Snapping the law threads, Li Chen flashed to Ye Zhiqiu’s side, supporting his mother who had suffered for centuries.
"It seems you’ve forgotten something?"
Suddenly, a voice rang behind Li Chen.
However, Li Chen’s expression didn’t waver, even though Ye Zhiqiu showed evident concern, Li Chen’s demeanor remained indifferent.
"I certainly haven’t forgotten."
Li Chen turned, and under Shang’s incredulous gaze, he directly seized Shang’s throat.
"I think, even if your true body were here, under these circumstances, it certainly wouldn’t dare to approach so directly." Li Chen said calmly as he looked at the horrified Shang: "So where did you get the nerve to brazenly rush to my side?"
This is Li Chen’s universe.
Neither a Pseudo-Universe nor a Yin Universe.
Instead, it’s a true universe, on par with the Starry Universe.
Although this true universe currently isn’t that large, in terms of grade, it can already crush the Dao Saint’s Yin Universe.
As the supreme master of this universe, would Li Chen fear anyone?
Not a single presence could resist, not even the true Dao Saint, Li Chen dared to take the risk.
And the Heaven and Earth Realm?
Even as an Ancient Ancestor, this pitiable palace lord’s alter ego couldn’t muster any resistance.
At this moment, he realized.
The thing imprisoning him wasn’t Li Chen’s hand.
But the... creation force hidden deep in the universe.
When he realized this, it was already too late.
He finally understood what a foolish thing he had done.
Charging into a true universe and challenging its master, how foolish must one be to attempt such a thing?
Simultaneously, he understood why Li Chen said even his true body wouldn’t dare enter this universe.
"Destroy."
Li Chen merely uttered a single word, and the alter ego of Palace Lord Shang, an entity with peak Ancient Ancestor cultivation and combat power, disintegrated completely.
Even in death, he couldn’t understand why, despite being vastly stronger than Qing Cang as a peak level Ancient Ancestor, he ended up dying so futilely.
And Li Chen, after vanquishing the palace lord’s alter ego, was momentarily dumbstruck.
With a grasp in the void, a faint phantom appeared before him.
"Soul of the Law?!"
The Soul of the Law naturally exists, each one extremely valuable, and especially precious to cultivators.
But within the Soul of the Law, there is one kind that completely differs from others.
To cultivators, this kind of Soul of the Law represents a disaster, surpassing even its value.
This law is... the Law of Destruction.
Looking at the Soul of the Law grasped in his hand, Li Chen’s eyes slightly narrowed.
The alter ego of Heaven Extinguishing Palace’s Palace Lord Shang turned out to be a Doomsday Beast Soul.
Things were indeed becoming increasingly interesting.
