My gorgeous wife

Chapter 2153: Chapter 2121: The First Under the Starry Sky

With the Law Blade in hand, even Li Chen’s arm couldn’t withstand such terrifying power.

In the surging waves of air, the skin and flesh on Li Chen’s palm shattered into fragments, rising into the air with the terrifying storm, turning into countless particles like dust in the firmament.

However, this dust was blood-colored.

Li Chen’s face paled at this moment, looking quite frightening.

Because all his power was completely drained at this moment, he could barely hold onto the Law Blade.

This isn’t a Divine Skill, but it’s more terrifying than one.

Li Chen knew clearly that he was not facing an ordinary enemy.

This was a true Palm Realm Powerhouse, and he didn’t have much time to set things up. All he had to do was block the Palm Realm strike.

Although this strike was a casual one for the opponent, for him, it was truly earth-shattering.

"Zzizzizzizz..."

The blood-soaked palm occasionally had blood and skin splatter out, some places already showing white bones, yet at this moment, Li Chen’s Indestructible Body seemed to have lost its effect, even self-healing wasn’t possible.

Perhaps it was possible, but so slow that it was almost invisible.

Because in this strike, he had completely drained his physical body’s energy.

At this moment, the earth-shattering palm finally descended, touching Li Chen’s Law Blade.

Li Chen clearly saw that the world, jokingly called the ’Sheep Pen’ by the youth, showed terrifying cracks.

"Hmm?" The youth’s expression changed slightly upon seeing this, seemingly not expecting such a situation to occur.

As he had said, even a slight leak of this level of power would be enough to destroy the fragile civilized world outside.

At this moment, his other hand moved, and soon, this small world filled with cracks was repaired again.

And at this moment, the stunning impact finally exploded at the center of the collision.

"Buzz~~~!!"

A buzzing sound that nearly tore Li Chen’s eardrums rang out beside him.

The next moment, Li Chen completely fainted.

...

"Master, master!"

After a long while, when Li Chen slowly woke up, he found a young boy beside him.

It was Red Moon.

"Master, you’re finally awake." Seeing Li Chen open his eyes, Red Moon couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief, finally relaxing a bit.

Looking at Red Moon, Li Chen gave a bitter smile, then slowly sat up with Red Moon’s support.

He knew the gap between Palm Realm and Non Palm Realm was vast, but he didn’t expect it to be this immense.

It seemed threatening Little Cang at that time was somewhat reckless.

Although Little Cang said he was injured, dealing with him shouldn’t be difficult.

"Awake?"

At this moment, a leisurely voice came from nearby.

Li Chen slightly turned his head, looking to his side, and saw the youth sitting beside him, legs crossed, with a cigarette in his mouth, resembling a delinquent youth.

But who would imagine that this delinquent-looking guy was a genuine Palm Realm Powerhouse?

Li Chen nodded, unable to help but hold his somewhat aching head, feeling emptiness within, a side effect of all his energy being drained.

"Your body isn’t severely hurt, just rest up, and if you have a Pill, recovery should be faster," the youth said, puffing smoke.

Li Chen stood up and realized he was on a small hill, with a vast starry sky above him.

Of course, Li Chen knew well that this starry sky was merely an illusion created by the youth.

In the distance, bright city lights glowed.

"The scenery is nice, huh." The youth laughed. "This is my observation deck. When I’m free, I love sitting here enjoying the view, often for years at a time."

Li Chen was silent for a moment, not responding.

"Palm Realm Powerhouses indeed live up to their reputation." After a long silence, Li Chen said with a bitter smile, "I’m still far behind."

"No, no, no." Surprisingly, at this moment, the youth shook his head. "You are already close."

"Then I..." Li Chen was taken aback and couldn’t help but ask.

"You stopped that palm." The youth’s mouth curled into a subtle smile as he looked at Li Chen. "Congratulations, you are likely the first being under the starry sky to stop a Palm Realm strike with only Soul Realm strength."

"I... stopped it?" Li Chen was stunned upon hearing this.

The collision of that strike wasn’t over yet, and he had already lost consciousness, so he didn’t know what the final outcome was.

However, from his perspective, even his own people were unconscious, so there shouldn’t be much hope, but unexpectedly, he really blocked it.

The young man blew smoke rings, and in a short moment, he could skillfully master this skill, glanced at Li Chen, and said somewhat strangely, "To be honest, you’ve already bribed me. But my task here isn’t necessarily to block the newcomers. To pass my level, you only need to withstand one of my strikes."

"So, I broke through on my own strength?" Li Chen was stunned.

"Don’t even think about getting the smoke back. Once in my hands, it never goes out," the young man looked at Li Chen with some vigilance, tightening his clothes, as if afraid Li Chen would take the smoke back.

Li Chen was speechless.

"Actually, back then, the old man set up these checkpoints and threw us here. His idea was that to enter the Ninth Layer, at the very least, one had to have True Realm cultivation. Because generally, to withstand one of my attacks, one at least had to be in the True Realm, but I guess the old man didn’t expect that my level was broken through by a Soul Realm kid like you."

The young man had a mischievous smile on his face, "I really want to know what expression the old man will have when he sees you."

"Old man?" Li Chen couldn’t help but be a little bewildered.

"Yes." The young man shrugged, "From a generational perspective, he should be considered my grandfather. Oh, by the way, if you go to the Ninth Layer, you should be able to see him."

"He’s in... the Ninth Layer?" Li Chen couldn’t help but open his mouth; with the strength of this young man being so terrifying, how powerful then is the ’old man’ he speaks of?

"Don’t worry." The young man turned his head, looking at the distant city, "The old man has long died, what’s left above is just a remnant soul. Seeing you, I think the old man will be very pleased."

Saying so, the young man deeply looked at the Red Moon.

"What’s really going on?" Li Chen couldn’t help but ask.

"Don’t ask, you’ll know when you go up. I think the old man will definitely be interested in explaining all this to you," the young man said with a laugh, "Speaking of the old man, he’s even more talkative than I am."

Li Chen was at a loss for words.

Following the young man’s suggestion, Li Chen stayed there for three days, regaining his peak condition before standing up again.

At this time, Li Chen unintentionally found that his cultivation had mysteriously deepened slightly.

"Sure enough, combat is the best way to cultivate," Li Chen exhaled and stretched his somewhat stiff body.

"Ready to go?"

At this time, the young man once again appeared in front of him with a beaming smile, making Li Chen speechless as this guy had once again changed into an even trendier style.

Li Chen noticed something; these Palm Realm guys seemed to have none of them normal.

"I’m ready," Li Chen said.

"I’m ready too," the young man stretched and said with a smile.

"What are you ready for?"

"To go out," the young man snickered, "You didn’t really think I was trapped here, did you? Although the old man is powerful, it’s impossible for him to trap me here for countless years. After all, I am a Palm Realm, and although the Town Origin Tower is powerful, it’s long been broken. I’m just here to complete the old man’s task."

"So, you’re planning on going to the outside world?" Li Chen asked.

The young man nodded: "Yes, but I still have to wait until you’ve seen the old man to see how he arranges things. If the old man doesn’t express an opinion, I’ll take the Town Origin Tower with me and wake up all those poor souls below. They are not like me, they were truly captured by the old man and suppressed here. After so many years, it’s time to give them freedom."

"Of course, if the old man wants to give you the Town Origin Tower, then just pretend I didn’t say anything," the young man laughed heartily and waved goodbye to Li Chen, then kicked Li Chen in the butt.

"What the hell!"

Li Chen suddenly found himself kicked and went flying, the whole person not even reacting before appearing in a passageway.

"Little guy, good luck!" The young man extended an arm, waved at Li Chen who had flown to the point of being invisible, and laughed.

After finally stabilizing himself, Red Moon also appeared beside Li Chen.

"Master, are you okay?" Red Moon asked.

"I’m fine," Li Chen shook his head.

The young man meant no harm, he simply played a prank and sent him on his way.

"Above, that’s the Ninth Layer," Li Chen said.

"Hmm," Red Moon nodded, "I can feel that the calling, it’s coming from here, we’re getting very close."

"Let’s go then."

Li Chen nodded and looked into the passageway filled with misty light, and walked in with Red Moon.

...

On the other side, amidst the falling snow, a figure suddenly appeared in it.

"Zzz..."

"This should be the place."

The figure cloaked in a black robe slowly raised his head, revealing a middle-aged man’s face full of magic patterns, with a strange smile on his face at this moment.

"The last place of demise for the strongest in the Demon Realm during the Seven Realms era, the Blood Saint."
