My gorgeous wife

Chapter 2154: Chapter 2122: Blood Saint

It’s not what Li Chen imagined.

Or rather, it’s completely different from what he imagined.

Originally, he thought that as the Ninth Layer of the Ancient Tower, this place would be a more grand and magnificent world.

After all, the ’old grandpa’ mentioned by that Palm Realm youth is on this layer.

However, none of that is here.

The Ninth Layer of the Ancient Tower is just...a single layer of a tower.

Apart from that, there’s nothing different.

Li Chen could even see the snowy world outside through the ’windows’ on the edges of the Ancient Tower.

This is just a single layer of a tower.

And in a corner beside him, there’s a casting platform. An elderly man, dressed in a bright red robe, squatted in the corner of the casting platform, studying a material of unknown origin.

"Oh, someone here?" The old man finally turned his head at the noise behind him, taking a glance.

Then...he continued studying the material in his hand.

Li Chen was even more convinced of his previous assumption.

No one in the Palm Realm is normal!

With no choice, Li Chen had to stand there waiting for the elder.

After quite some time, the old man finally put down the material, took two cushions, walked over, tossed one to Li Chen, then noticed Red Moon and tossed another cushion to him. He himself just plopped on the ground.

Li Chen: "..."

Can’t you pay a bit of attention to your image?

"No worries, you sit." Seeing Li Chen stand up trying to hand the cushion back, the old man hurriedly waved his hand.

Li Chen, helplessly, sat back down.

"It’s been a long time since someone came up here, usually I have to go down to chat with that young one, I didn’t expect that after so many years, someone finally came up." The old man said with a cheerful laugh.

Li Chen pondered for a moment, then looked at Red Moon beside him, "This time, it’s because of him..."

"No need to say, I know." Before Li Chen could finish, the elder waved his hand, then looked up and down at Red Moon, "It’s truly marvelous seeing oneself face to face like this."

The old man’s light words stirred up a storm in Li Chen’s mind.

Seeing oneself face to face?!

What does seeing oneself mean?

From some of the information disclosed by Red Moon, Li Chen suspected that Red Moon originated from here!

Meaning, Red Moon is himself?!

How is that possible?

"Young man, no need to be so startled." The old man chuckled, stroking his beard, "There’s nothing surprising here, this saber was forged using my body."

Scratching his head, the old man said, "Explaining it is too troublesome, you’d better see for yourself."

As he spoke, the old man extended a finger, pointing directly at Li Chen’s brow.

Throughout the process, Li Chen didn’t have any reaction, or rather, Li Chen couldn’t react at all, only watching as the elder’s finger touched his forehead.

The next moment, a series of memories rapidly surged in Li Chen’s mind.

...

This was a broken world.

It seemed as though it had experienced a world-ending battle, even heaven and earth had been shattered.

Below, a terrifyingly vast depression stretched as far as the eye could see.

At this moment, within the depression, the faint outlines of several remains could be seen, each emitting a terrifying and eerie aura.

"Old Blood, what are you planning to do next?"

A formidable figure with an unclear face spoke.

Although the face was indistinct, the overwhelming demon flame surrounding this figure was visible; furthermore, behind him was a solitary demon wing, clearly, he once had a pair of these wings, but after the great battle, one had been torn off.

On the other side, there was the old man in the red robe.

Only now, the old man in the red robe looked even worse. The red robe was intact, but beneath it, his body had become a phantom state.

His physical body had long been destroyed, leaving only a shadow of his divine soul.

"What can I do?" The elder, known as ’Old Blood,’ shrugged, "My essence has been shattered, I won’t live much longer, now I just want to find a good place for a gravesite."

The figure within the demon flame fell silent for a moment, "Though my essence hasn’t been destroyed, only a small half remains; this time I might only be able to disassemble and reincarnate. Whether or not I can come back to life will depend on fate."

"Better than me," Old Blood chuckled, "Anyway, I’m definitely dead."

Strangely, he didn’t seem to care much about his own life and death.

Demon Shadow felt a stir in his heart: "Old Blood, have you got some plan? Don’t hold back if you do. After all, we’ve fought side by side, hehe, both at the Saintly Way Realm, we took on four of them and wiped out that bunch. I wonder how those Era-Ancient Civilizations would react, cry their eyes out!"

Old Blood glanced at Demon Shadow: "Supreme took down three Heaven-shrouding Realm scoundrels single-handedly."

Demon Shadow fell into speechless silence.

"Primordial Demon, I know you’re afraid of dying, but let me tell you, what I’m going to do, you’ll never dare to do." Old Blood glanced down, sighed, and said, "Us old folks dying is no big deal, it’s just a pity for those innocent beings."

"Though the Supreme Asura Realm has fallen, from my view, this Great Realm still won’t be destroyed. After all, this should be considered the origin point of the civilization for this era—nearly shattered a continent fragment..."

Primordial Demon said solemnly: "Blood Saint, remember your identity! You are a Dao Saint of the Starry Universe, not destroying but protecting them. If we don’t stop these guys, not to mention creating such a big hole, the entire Great Realm fragment would be destroyed, let alone the beings upon it!"

"I’m just expressing a few sentiments," Blood Saint rolled his eyes, "I’m going to die, can’t I say a few words of regret before I go?"

"Cut the nonsense, you know you’re dying, why not quickly say what you plan to do." Primordial Demon said.

Though their tone seemed discordant, actually, they were good friends, and more importantly, comrades who faced life and death together.

This point, even Li Chen, while merely reading through fragmented memories, could feel it.

"I plan to go and find all my body’s fragments, and then create an unparalleled weapon." Blood Saint said with longing, "As you know, my greatest dream this lifetime is to forge a weapon that surpasses Supreme Treasures."

"You’re mad?!"

"Cut the crap, I’m going to die, can’t I go mad once?" Blood Saint said discontentedly, waving his hand.

Primordial Demon was once again speechless.

"Crazy old man! Brain’s not right!" Primordial Demon cursed twice, yet knowing well that, having decided, Blood Saint could not be stopped, nor could he be stopped.

"Yes, yes, my brain’s faulty!" Blood Saint retorted defiantly, "Though the battle’s over, who knows when those Era-Ancient Civilizations bastards will come back? I’ll make use of my remaining heat, years later, I can still chop off those guys’ heads as an unparalleled weapon!"

"Hey, old devil, I see your body isn’t bad either, since you’re going to disassemble, why not try with me?"

"Scram!"

After a moment of silence, Blood Saint finally said wistfully: "Old devil, promise me one thing."

Primordial Demon nodded silently because he knew this was probably his old friend’s last request. He had some hope of revival, but his old friend had none.

"When I’ve fulfilled my wish, years later, if the weapon forged from my body has an unsuitable master...you help me choose a trustworthy one. I don’t want my name tarnished after death. After all, this weapon is forged from the body of me, Blood Saint."

"...Alright!"

"But, Old Blood, what about your tower?"

"Still thinking about my Treasure Pagoda? Scram, scram, scram, get moving!"

Afterwards, Blood Saint spent much time collecting his scattered body fragments across the Starry Universe, and spent countless years crafting his body, in the most satisfying way, into a...saber.

"Alright, off you go."

When the blood-colored long saber was completed, pleased, Blood Saint looked at this saber whose quality only matched that of ordinary iron and tore open a spatial rift, tossing it inside.

Afterwards, this blood-colored long saber began a lengthy drift across various spaces.

Having repaired the Great Realm fragment, the elderly man created a minor world, took out the Ancient Tower, and began his slumber.

Li Chen slowly opened his eyes. When he again looked at the elderly man, his eyes were already filled with complexity.

"Don’t look at me like that," Blood Saint shivered a bit and said: "We’re all men, it’s giving me goosebumps."

Li Chen pursed his lips. In the end, he said nothing.

"Honestly, if you hadn’t brought my body here, I would probably still be asleep." The elderly man shook his head, "Old now, hanging onto breath for so many years, this obsession of mine should also dissipate."

"But before leaving, seeing the weapon forged from my body transform to this extent makes this old man quite happy." Staring at Red Moon, the elderly man’s face lit with gratification.

At this moment, Red Moon also looked at the elderly man.

His eyes harbored complexity, displeasure, and sorrow.

Because he knew, the elderly man had only this obsession left, and waking this time, it might just vanish forever.

That memory, Li Chen saw it, and Red Moon saw it as well.

"Lord Blood Saint..." Li Chen’s lips moved, ultimately he called out, deeply bowing to the elderly man.

This bow was not for the elderly man’s cultivation.

It was to thank the elderly man for sending Red Moon to his side and thank the elderly man for everything he did for the Starry Universe.

Li Chen did not know how powerful the Saintly Way Realm truly was.

But he knew the Starry Universe faced the predatory Era-Ancient Civilizations as the weak side. Yet the elderly man, along with another strong person, fought two against four, killing four Dao Saints of the opposing side. Likewise, the elderly man paid with his life.

For this alone, the elderly man deserved the highest respect from all beings in the Starry Universe!
