My gorgeous wife Chapter 2326 - 2294: The Underground Palace Shattered!

Li Chen had heard about Palace Lord Shang’s closed-door cultivation, and also about Shang having an alter ego.

Li Chen instinctively thought that Palace Lord Shang was in seclusion, while his alter ego maintained order in the Heaven Extinguishing Palace.

This was just like when Li Chen himself went into closed-door cultivation to comprehend the Law of Cause and Effect, leaving his alter ego at the Red Dust Heavenly Palace.

But to Li Chen’s surprise, this palace lord’s alter ego brought him such a huge surprise.

This alter ego he initially assumed was actually the Doomsday Beast Soul!

"If the palace lord’s alter ego is the Doomsday Beast Soul, then what of the true body?" A playful expression appeared on Li Chen’s face.

"Mother, once we break through the Underground Palace, we will leave the Heaven Extinguishing Palace immediately." Li Chen looked at the still somewhat weak Ye Zhiqiu and said.

The universe kept expanding, because it was not an illusion but the real universe, and Li Chen’s universe directly stretched the Underground Palace’s space, continuously causing it to expand.

The Underground Palace was large, yet it also had its limits. Once it reached this limit, even the Underground Palace faced the danger of collapsing on its own.

And Li Chen wanted to turn this danger into reality.

Once the Underground Palace was breached, even if the palace master of the Heaven Extinguishing Palace was slow, he would definitely notice, and if not now, when was the time to run?

Unless absolutely necessary, Li Chen really didn’t want to confront the true body of a Dao Saint head-on.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to avenge Ye Zhiqiu now, but Li Chen was very aware of his current strength level.

"Open!"

It had to be said, forming a looping Underground Palace Great Formation was indeed quite terrifying; even Li Chen’s universe couldn’t break it open all at once but could only shatter and squeeze it inch by inch.

"Boom!"

"Boom boom boom!"

Feeling the tremors from below, many in the Extinguishing Emperor Palace above also noticed something was amiss, and they flew out one after another to see what had happened.

But soon, they discovered that the foundation of the Extinguishing Emperor Palace had issues.

"Underground Palace!"

"There’s movement in the Underground Palace!"

"It’s not just the Underground Palace; messages were just received that many places on the Divine Mountain also have issues, seemingly because the energy supply to the Underground Palace has been cut off."

"The energy supply to the Underground Palace has been cut off? Then the prisoners in the Underground Palace..."

For many years, the prisoners of the Underground Palace provided energy for the entire Heaven Extinguishing Palace’s operation. If something really happened to the Underground Palace, more than half of the Heaven Extinguishing Palace would come to a halt.

Regarding this, Li Yan Ancestor, the chief steward of the Extinguishing Emperor Palace, was sweating profusely with anxiety.

Everything else was manageable, but now the Palace Lord of the Heaven Extinguishing Palace, who was also the Palace Lord of the Extinguishing Emperor Palace, was in deep seclusion within the palace.

Moreover, what was even more critical was that the vast spiritual energy needed for Shang’s seclusion was provided by the numerous prisoners of the Underground Palace.

The supply was suddenly cut; if the Palace Lord was really at a critical stage of seclusion, what should be done?

When the Palace Lord came out, would he slap this steward to death?

"Perhaps, I should just flee." Li Yan Ancestor thought this possibility was really high.

As for loyalty and all that... the Heaven Extinguishing Palace was essentially a gathering of people with ulterior motives, so what talk of loyalty or disloyalty was there?

People only temporarily resided together for their own purposes.

Everyone understood this very well.

However, fearing the Palace Lord’s strength, Li Yan Ancestor didn’t run away immediately but instead attempted to enter the Underground Palace.

After all, even if the Palace Lord blamed him later, he could say he had tried his best.

But soon, Li Yan Ancestor found that the teleportation array to the Underground Palace...was out of order.

The Underground Palace couldn’t be accessed at all.

At this moment, the tremors from below grew stronger.

Within the Underground Palace at this moment, many people were getting excited.

These were the prisoners who had been imprisoned in the Underground Palace for countless years, seeing hope.

Originally, they were locked in this wretched place, hopeless for eons. Let alone the Extinguishing Emperor Palace having a monster named Shang; just the restrictions of the Underground Palace prevented them from escaping.

But today, these restrictions showed signs of breaking, which meant they had a chance of escape.

How could they not feel elated?

"Crack crack crack!"

Many strong figures imprisoned in the Underground Palace began trying to break the law threads wrapped around them, extracting their Energy over the years.

These originally indestructible law threads became increasingly fragile after the Underground Palace’s restrictions were damaged, and under the strength of these powerhouses, they began to break one by one.

"Hahaha! I, Spirit Coffin Ancestor, have returned!"

"Shang! You confined me for five whole eras, yet I have reemerged!"

"What nonsense is the Heaven Extinguishing Palace, just a bunch of superficial allies eliminating outsiders. Starry Sky Universe, I, Zitan Ancestor, have arrived!"

Amidst the collapse of the restrictions, numerous powerhouses broke free.

These individuals were all powerhouses who had once shocked the Cosmos.

Because, to be imprisoned in the Underground Palace, one had to at least be at Peak True Realm, and most were even Palm Realm powerhouses.

After all, if their cultivation was too low, they would have long perished in the Underground Palace without anyone lifting a finger.

The law threads created by the Underground Palace’s restrictions extracted Energy year after year, and only these powerhouses, possessing their own universe, could endure it. The True Realm ones who survived were the most outstanding among their realm.

"Almost done, almost done!"

Li Chen gritted his teeth, using the universe to continuously bombard the entire Underground Palace. Since he couldn’t break the restrictions, he would use the simplest, most brutal way to break through!

Finally, with a huge muffled noise, a terrifying roar resounded from below.

The entire Underground Palace burst open under the tremendous pressure.

At the same time, the Extinguishing Emperor Palace above also quaked due to the foundation disturbance.

Many areas of the Extinguishing Emperor Palace collapsed in an instant.

And a large number of powerhouses imprisoned in the Underground Palace took this moment to suddenly burst out of the Underground Palace, emerging outside the Extinguishing Emperor Palace.

"Hahahaha! We have finally returned again!"

"We finally left that pigsty of a dungeon. The air outside is so fresh!"

Someone laughed skyward.

And carrying Ye Zhiqiu, Li Chen, without a word, directly dashed out of the Underground Palace, standing outside the Extinguishing Emperor Palace.

After casting one last deep look at the Extinguishing Emperor Palace, Li Chen said nothing further as he headed straight out of the Extinguishing Emperor Palace with his companion.

No need to say much, even if the Palace Lord was in the deepest seclusion, he would surely be awakened.

Sure enough, before Li Chen had run far, an angry low growl came from the depths of the Extinguishing Emperor Palace.

"A bunch of reckless fools, letting you struggle on one’s last breath in the Underground Palace was already giving you a way out, but since you insist on seeking death."

"Then I’ll send you on your way!"
