My gorgeous wife Chapter 2331 - 2299: Wind and Rain Ending Spring and Autumn
Previously on My gorgeous wife...
Up to this point, Li Chen has faced countless enemies who seemed impossible to defeat.
Yet never has he felt such an undeniable sense of imminent death as he did today facing Shang.
But when those two fingers pointed at him, Li Chen indeed felt such a sense emerging from his heart.
In his mind, countless methods were instantly simulated, along with various escape strategies.
But no matter how he simulated, in the end, there was only one outcome... death!
This simple finger seemed to contain the ultimate truth of heaven and earth, evading was impossible, and defending was futile.
"Is this the power of the Dao Saint?"
At this moment, Li Chen finally understood.
If that Shadow Dao Saint really wanted to kill him at that time, he probably wouldn’t have had any chance to resist.
Initially, Li Chen thought it was only because he didn’t summon the True Universe that he was being suppressed so utterly.
But now, he finally understood, even if he possessed the True Universe, under the terrifying and unreasonable power of the Dao Saint, there was only one path: defeat and destruction.
There was simply no other possibility!
The might of the Dao Saint was completely irrational.
No matter how strong Li Chen was, no matter how high his talent, it was impossible to resist such unreasonable crushing force.
"I must fight!"
Li Chen was not someone who liked to sit and await his fate. Even in such a desperate situation, he was determined to put up a fight.
"Sea of Laws, reveal!"
With a clenched jaw, Li Chen directly revealed his Sea of Laws concealed in the depths of the universe.
Compared to before, Li Chen’s Sea of Laws was now far more complete; in truth, Li Chen had an understanding of almost all known laws of the universe. Even some obscure laws Li Chen had never understood before presented themselves in the construction of the Sea of Laws.
This was a Sea of Laws encompassing all powers of the law.
Given enough time, Li Chen might even be able to brew an Origin Force akin to the Starry Source.
Yet clearly, Li Chen did not have that time.
"Red Moon!"
He stretched out his hand, and the Red Moon fell into his palm.
At this moment, Li Chen actually closed his eyes voluntarily.
In this instant of life and death, Li Chen began... Sword Enlightenment!
"Unsheathing the sword with wind roaring, Cease spear wordless, rain drifting..."
These were the six great sword dao divine power techniques Li Chen had comprehended up to now.
They could be said to contain the essence of Li Chen’s sword dao accumulated over hundreds of years.
This represented the full exertion of Li Chen at each stage.
And with his profound cultivation, Li Chen had further perfected his blade dao divine power.
Li Chen had even crafted these six sword dao divine powers into a complete heritage to leave for his disciple.
Yet, Li Chen had not disclosed this.
After these six strikes, he had another concept.
The seventh strike!
This was something Li Chen realized much later, these six strikes, although encompassing various attacks and even defenses.
Yet they were not complete.
Because they lacked a true conclusion.
And this concluding strike should be the strongest.
But even though Li Chen spent so many years, he could not create it completely.
And today, he was going to perfect this final strike in the instant of life and death!
Under the stimulus of life and death, all of Li Chen’s senses heightened to their extremes, and even his thoughts raced at an immensely faster pace.
At the same time, the Seven Realms Tome, sensing the threat, began frantically reinforcing Li Chen’s spiritual defense to ensure that even if his physical body was destroyed, his spirit could be preserved for escape.
To this day, although the Seven Realms Tome still hadn’t recognized a master, its relationship with Li Chen was almost indistinguishable from a true master recognition.
"This final strike..."
Li Chen’s eyes suddenly opened.
The instant his eyes opened, what he saw was his Sea of Laws.
The sword moved.
And as Li Chen’s sword moved, the Sea of Laws roared up.
Countless laws surged out from the Sea of Laws, winding around the sword blade and shrinking in.
Finally, on one side of the blade, all the laws condensed into a thin line.
As the thin line formed, Li Chen’s complexion suddenly turned white.
Another look revealed that the entire Sea of Laws had been completely exhausted, and Li Chen, not only his face but even his hair, instantly turned pallor.
At this moment, that colossal finger resembling the Divine Mountain also crashed down, colliding violently with the thin line.
"This strike is named... Wind and Rain Ending Spring and Autumn!!"
As the strike was delivered, Li Chen seemed to be drained, gasping heavily and powerlessly.
Because previously, he had sustained serious injuries from Shang’s remote palm, and now forcibly exhausting the Sea of Laws for this earth-shattering strike had brought his body to the verge of collapse.
At that moment, when the Sword Technique Divine Power took shape, Li Chen felt that even exhausting his Sea of Laws and cultivation was insufficient to unleash the full might of this strike. So Li Chen unhesitatingly contributed his Life Origin as well.
Just this single blade divine power permanently drained nearly one-tenth of Li Chen’s Life Origin!
This origin included Spiritual Soul Power.
If explained with concrete data, it could be said that this strike forcibly took away nearly two eras of Li Chen’s lifespan!
The lifespan of an Ancient Ancestor was not infinite; even for powerhouses of the Heaven and Earth Realm, cultivation was necessary, and cultivation was a good way to extend lifespan.
If a powerhouse of the Heaven and Earth Realm were to wander around the starry universe in their physical form, then their survival time wouldn’t even exceed ten eras. If it were the Barren Era or Desolate Era, their survival time would be even shorter.
This was also one of the reasons why after the Four Emperors Era, almost no Palm Realm powerhouses were active externally.
One reason was to avoid detection by enemies, and another was to strategize for when the new generation powers of the starry universe arose once again.
And Li Chen’s strike was akin to a powerhouse of the Heaven and Earth Realm spending two eras’ worth of lifespan in an instant, how terrifying!
At the moment when the thin line and gigantic finger met, there was no earth-shattering ripple — only countless lights continually appeared and vanished, silent, but within this silence was an immense terror making everyone fall silent.
In the Divine Mountain, the Ancient Ancestors, still imprisoned by Shang and not yet killed, involuntarily looked towards the point where the two powers converged.
An Ancient Ancestor, just taking two glances, caused their eyes to burst open, blood spraying out, drenching them.
Origin Force, unseen, unspeakable.
Upon realizing that his finger returned without success, even the perpetually high and mighty Shang could not help but frown.
"Just an Earth Realm, yet he can wield Origin Force? How is this possible?"
After frowning, Shang’s brow relaxed again.
"Well, since one finger can’t kill you, then let’s try another finger. For an Earth Realm to withstand two attacks from a Dao Saint, you truly are the most dazzling genius born in the starry universe."
"...But you still must die!"
