My gorgeous wife Chapter 2408 - 2376: The Two Choices Li Chen Offers

By the time Li Chen finished drawing the last puff from the smoke made with Yu Hun Xiang, a whole group of Soul Realm experts were already lying on the ground.

Their bodies still existed, but their Divine Souls had been completely blasted to nothing.

All that was left were just battered, empty shells.

"When did it start that I actually turned into an Old Demon who kills without batting an eye." Li Chen gave a self-mocking smile.

He really couldn’t remember when exactly he became an Old Demon, but he did remember when he started killing without blinking.

Back then he was just in his early teens, went alone to Europe, and on that trip he was tricked by mob human traffickers who wanted to break his legs and throw him onto the streets to beg.

After his legs took seven or eight blows from iron rods, Li Chen twisted off the necks of those two traffickers.

At that time, Li Chen was nothing more than an ordinary teenager. At best his physique was slightly better than a normal person’s; he’d done a bit of training, that was all.

Those kinds of iron rods, ordinarily, one swing was enough to smash a normal person’s leg bones. Li Chen’s legs, though not broken, had hairline fractures, and it took a long time for them to heal.

That was Li Chen’s first real kill, and he vomited for a long time afterward.

But in the end, he still calmly buried the two traffickers, and from then on, Li Chen stepped onto a path different from everyone else.

Later on, he understood the importance of Power, and so, he became the King of the Netherworld.

After entering the Heaven Realm, he understood the importance of Power even more, and so, he became the Hongchen Ancestor.

And here, he understood better than anyone what Power truly was.

"So-called Power is nothing more than a tool used to accomplish what you want to do. Anything that can help you achieve your goal, that is Power."

Li Chen slightly closed his eyes.

At the same time, around him, faint waves of a powerful aura surged.

"You dare kill my disciples, you’ve got some guts!"

"You even dare touch people of my Hidden Dragon Valley, today you can forget about leaving!"

"You killed an elder of my Imperial Extreme Palace—even if you flee to the Ends of the Earth, I will still cut you down!"

"..."

Voices came one after another, and along with them rolled wave after wave of terrifying aura.

They were also Soul Realm.

However, these Soul Realm were no longer those elders with uneven cultivation from before.

These newly appeared Soul Realm experts were clearly much stronger!

Previously, Li Chen could blast those elders into helplessness with his magic treasure, but as for these new experts, relying on magic treasures alone obviously wouldn’t be enough.

One after another, powerhouses of the Nine Heavens Continent stared coldly at Li Chen sitting on the throne, sneering, "Looks like you really are a fearless bastard. With so many of us here, you can still sit there pretending, no wonder you even dared kill elders under our banners."

"This kid should be handed to my Heavenly Profound Sect, he’s the one the Great Elder specifically named!"

"Better give him to my Sword Palace. Our Sword Palace’s Grand Preceptor also wants to see this little brat who doesn’t know life from death."

"Give him to me instead..."

The group had only just arrived and already started arguing, actually fighting over who’d get custody of Li Chen.

Of course, this also meant they really didn’t put Li Chen in their eyes at all.

He was just a Domain Realm; no matter how heaven-defying his methods were, could he possibly block them?

You had to know that among them, several already had cultivation at the Ninth Order Peak, some had even stepped half a step further.

At such a Realm, even in the Starry Universe, they could be addressed as Great Heavenly Honors.

Existences like that, did they need to care about the petty tricks of a minor Domain Realm?

In the face of absolute Power, everything else is mere illusion.

And right then, Li Chen slowly opened his eyes.

No one knew why, but the moment they met Li Chen’s gaze, that group of Soul Realm experts all unconsciously stopped their bickering.

Because their powerful intuition was faintly warning them: this kid might be dangerous!

"Finished talking?" Li Chen asked mildly.

"You..." A powerhouse whose aura was nearly at the Peak of the Soul Realm had just opened his mouth when Li Chen cut him off directly: "If you’re done, then let’s talk properly."

"This mess was stirred up by you yourselves. I think that point should be clearer to you than to me." Li Chen spoke in a calm tone: "To me, this place is just a temporary stop. I’ll be leaving soon. So I don’t want too much trouble, and I don’t even want too much contact with you."

"But now that things have been provoked, there has to be an outcome." Li Chen raised two fingers. "Right now, I have two ways to resolve this. You can choose for yourselves."

"First, what’s past stays in the past. I won’t come looking for trouble with you, and you won’t come and bother me."

"Second, if you’re determined to blow this up, then I’ll slaughter you. At most, that just means a few more Old Monsters will start staring at me. It’s only that the consequences of all this... I’m afraid even if it costs you your lives, you still won’t be able to shoulder them."

Li Chen’s tone was extremely calm, as if he were talking about something that had nothing to do with him.

Yet after hearing his words, the group burst into loud laughter.

"Let it go? Blow it up? Kid, you’re overthinking it!" The powerhouse from the Heavenly Profound Sect sneered. "Who do you think you are? A Palm Realm Powerhouse? Just a mere Domain Realm, and you dare talk to us like that?"

The others all voiced their agreement with the Heavenly Profound Sect powerhouse.

Although this white-haired youth was indeed a bit odd, to them, no matter how odd, he was still just a Domain Realm. With their strength, could they possibly fail to deal with a Domain Realm?

What really grated on them was this Domain Realm brat’s tone, so oblivious of heaven and earth—it was the kind of tone that implied their lives and deaths were all in his hands.

They’d lived for so many years and seen plenty of arrogant people, but someone this brazenly ignorant, it was the first time.

"I understand your choice." Li Chen nodded and didn’t say anything more.

Looking at the group of restless powerhouses, Li Chen shook his head, lifted his right hand which had been resting on the gilded throne, and lightly snapped his fingers.

"Come."

"It’s here..." One powerhouse’s face twisted into a vicious grin.

But before that grin could fully blossom, it suddenly froze on his face.

Because he suddenly realized that Li Chen’s words weren’t aimed at him at all.

They were aimed at...

Rumble!!

Thunder rolled across the sky.

Up above, a layer of terrifying black clouds spread out for more than ten thousand miles.

This was... Tribulation clouds!

"Since you’ve already made your choice, there’s no need for me to waste any more words on you."

Li Chen propped his cheek on one hand, looking at the group of Soul Realm experts who hadn’t reacted in time and were already locked onto by the Heavenly Tribulation.

Tribulation, in Li Chen’s eyes, is a kind of reward and gift. But to others, Heavenly Tribulation is an unstoppable, supreme terror!
