My gorgeous wife Chapter 2412 - 2380: Going All In

How strong is the Palm Realm?

To low-level cultivators, a hundred people might give ninety-nine different descriptions.

But no matter how it’s described, it is inevitably tied to terms like ’invincible,’ ’unmatchable,’ ’foes reduced to ashes at a flick of the finger.’

Yet Li Chen knew that the Palm Realm was just like that.

Merely an expression of more advanced power and a more oppressive cultivation realm.

It’s the same as how the Heavenly Level can suppress the Earth Level into breathlessness through its realm.

Nothing too remarkable in reality.

However, for low-level cultivators, such suppression is indeed exceedingly lethal.

It’s as if he were now locked in by the aura of the Palm Realm, unable to move at all.

"Where are our men?!"

A voice fraught with anger exploded beside Li Chen’s ear.

With Li Chen’s current cultivation, merely this voice imbued with oppressive power made him spit a large mouthful of blood.

Bound as he was, Li Chen couldn’t even lift his arm to wipe the blood from his mouth, only managing a restrained smile.

"Dead."

"Dead?!!"

Upon hearing Li Chen’s words, the space before him twisted slightly, and a middle-aged man garbed in a purple robe suddenly appeared in front of him.

"How did they die? Speak! Perhaps I might consider leaving you a whole corpse!" the purple-robed middle-aged man angrily exclaimed.

Clearly, he couldn’t believe that Li Chen could kill so many experts.

After all, he was merely a Domain Realm, how could he kill so many Soul Realm elders?!

One must know that these two groups of elders together numbered around twenty or thirty!

Twenty to thirty Soul Realm experts, even for the major forces of the Nine Heavens Continent, are quite a formidable power.

Soul Realm experts aren’t so easily replaced!

Facing the threat of an Ancient Ancestor, even though Li Chen was still only in the Domain Realm, and his body was oozing blood under the terrifying aura of the ancestor, his face remained smiling.

Moreover, his smile even held a hint of disdain.

They say a hero doesn’t bring up past victories, but this kind of opponent, back in the Starry Universe days, he could have easily crushed with one hand.

But now, being imprisoned by such a brat’s aura, without even deploying a pseudo-universe, he was rendered immobile.

Ridiculous.

"Release your filthy paw, and I might consider telling you." Li Chen said calmly.

"What did you say?!" The Heaven and Earth Realm Ancient Ancestor seemed a bit doubtful of what he just heard.

A mere Domain Realm dared to speak to him in such a tone? Was he really not afraid of death? Even if not, did he not know there’s terror more dreadful than death in this world?!

"I said." Li Chen spat a blood-tainted saliva, the disdain on his face grew thicker: "Release your filthy paw!!"

"Courting death!!"

The purple-robed middle-aged man’s face instantly turned extremely sullen, and he reached out to crush this ignorant boy.

Yet at that moment, he suddenly caught a whiff of a strange aroma.

Just a slight taste of it made him feel his cultivation realm loosening.

"A treasure!!"

Joy surged in the middle-aged man’s heart: "It must be... the Supreme Treasure!"

But when he couldn’t help but turn his head, his expression grew peculiar.

It was a mix of surprise, disbelief, and anger.

Ultimately... impossible to define.

Because, he saw, the source of the strange aroma was a burning... phlegm!

Yes, it was the blood phlegm Li Chen spat out just now.

And it was phlegm brewed with several coughs.

The so-called Supreme Treasure turned out to be this boy’s expelled phlegm?!

Me damn...

Suddenly, the purple-robed middle-aged man calmed from his confusion, looked at Li Chen with a cold smile: "Boy, something’s definitely in that blood phlegm, isn’t it?"

"I’ll give you one last chance: hand over that thing, and perhaps I’ll spare your life; otherwise... I’ll make you understand there are fates worse than death in this world." the purple-robed middle-aged man said coldly while his aura stirred once again.

"Bang!!"

Li Chen felt as if struck by a massive mountain, his body emitted an unpleasant cracking sound, shattering two-thirds of his bones and nearly reducing his body to a pool of blood.

If not for Li Chen’s recent successful advancement, his body might have already been destroyed.

Indeed, the Innate Chaotic Body was strong, but Li Chen’s current cultivation was too weak to exploit its power.

"Puh!"

Yet another large mouthful of blood was spat out, but this time it didn’t have the strange fragrance as the burning phlegm did.

"As expected." The purple-robed middle-aged man coldly chuckled inwardly, confirming Li Chen definitely had a treasure on him.

Though gravely injured, Li Chen’s face still bore a smile.

"Worse than death? You mean now?"

"Of course..."

The purple-robed middle-aged man’s words ceased abruptly, and as he was about to leave with Li Chen, an elder blocked his path.

"Ziyun Daoist Friend discovered something good but wants to enjoy it alone, that’s not quite fair," the elder said slowly with a benevolent smile.

Yet Ziyun Ancient Ancestor knew well, this seemingly harmless elder was actually a terrifying ancient being even stronger than he was!

And what’s critical, this old guy not only had formidable strength but was also quite shameless!

Upon seeing the elder, Li Chen’s smile didn’t waver: "Old geezer, just you alone?"

"Old geezer?" Tuo Hai Ancient Ancestor’s kind smile froze, casting a glance at Li Chen, a cold glint flashing through his eyes: "Truly, on the Nine Heavens Continent now, the new waves overshadow the old, even I, this old man, struggle to understand."

Just at that moment, another voice arrived.

"Tuo Hai, counting in Zhouhai Calendar units, you’ve lived for half an Era, haven’t you? Being called an old geezer, isn’t that just fitting?"

Hearing this, Tuo Hai Ancient Ancestor’s face instantly darkened: "Ren Si, you’ve come too?!"

"You’re allowed here, why can’t I be?" A robust elder appeared, looking at Tuo Hai Ancient Ancestor with a teasing smile.

Then, Ancestor Ren Si glanced at Li Chen, smiling: "Tuo Hai and Ziyun aren’t anything good. But, young brother, don’t be afraid. No matter what, with me Ren Si here today, your life is safe."

Li Chen coughed a couple of times, clutching his chest.

By now, Ziyun had released his imprisonment.

Because to Ziyun Ancient Ancestor, with two equally ranked or stronger ancestors present, even a slight distraction could lead to unimaginable consequences.

A mere Domain Realm, even with means to kill Soul Realms, still didn’t warrant much concern.

However, the next moment, this Domain Realm, deemed insignificant by Ziyun Ancient Ancestor, once again boasted defiantly towards Ancestor Ren Si.

"Just because these two aren’t good, does it mean you’re something good?"

Li Chen still laughed, his smile appearing somewhat deranged in the eyes of the ancient ancestors.

Li Chen was planning a bigger game, as there were only three ancient ancestors present, which for him was not yet enough!
