My gorgeous wife

Chapter 2165: Chapter 2133: Behemoth’s Form

Dragon Flame and Black Flame crashed together, the horrifying temperature directly burning the surrounding space into twisted distortion, and in some places, though there was clearly nothing there, it still gave people a feeling as if everything had been melted.

Even space itself was being melted by this terrifying temperature.

"Is this all you’ve got?" Li Chen looked at Ling Canghai with indifferent eyes. "I’ve waited for you all these years, finally waited for this day, and to think my nemesis would disappoint me this much."

"Disappointed?!"

Ling Canghai threw his head back and laughed wildly.

"What the hell do you count as?! Back then, you were nothing but an ant in my eyes, an ant from the Lower Realm! You, what right do you have to say you’re disappointed in me?" Ling Canghai stared at Li Chen, somewhat hysterical, and snarled, "All of this, it’s nothing but Heaven’s unfairness toward me!"

"I figured it out a long time ago." Ling Canghai’s gaze turned vicious as he stared at Li Chen. "All of this exists only because that damn Heaven is targeting me, and you, you’re nothing more than a chess piece in Heaven’s hand, a piece placed there for the sake of targeting me."

"Rather than calling you my enemy, it’s better to say that my true enemy... is that thieving Heaven itself!" Ling Canghai let out a bleak laugh. "Since that’s the case, for this world that targets me, for this dome of sky, what is there left for me to cling to?!"

Ling Canghai was indeed very strong; even among Eighth Rank Soul Realm, he counted as an extremely powerful existence.

But the one he ran into was Li Chen.

The man Cain had called the number one under the starry sky, the one who could block a Palm Realm strike with Soul Realm power.

Let alone an Eighth Rank Soul Realm like Ling Canghai— even if Ninth-Order Heavenly Venerates, Daoist Lords and the like came for him, he’d still be able to deal with them.

Just now Ling Canghai had already gone all out, yet Li Chen had easily neutralized it.

Up to this point, Li Chen still hadn’t used a single one of the Techniques of Divine Abilities he kept at the bottom of the chest.

The gap between the two had already become far too great. Even if they were both Eighth Rank Soul Realm, they were completely on different levels.

But in this instant, an aura that made one’s scalp crawl suddenly erupted from Ling Canghai’s body.

Even Li Chen chose to retreat at the first moment.

Because he felt that from this horrifying aura, he sensed an extremely grave danger.

"You helped me, so I’ll help you once. But I only have one chance to make a move; you’d better understand that clearly." An Ancient Elder, deep and thick voice rang out from within Ling Canghai’s body.

"I know." Ling Canghai spoke calmly.

"I promised you I’d make a move once for you, but only this one chance. As for what happens afterward, I won’t interfere. Now, are you sure you want to use this chance now?"

"I’m sure." Ling Canghai’s voice was firm.

"Very well."

"Boom!!"

In that instant, the surging Demon Flame around Ling Canghai suddenly dispersed, transforming into streaks of eerie black light, and as the black light flickered, countless black lines began to appear around Ling Canghai.

As those lines sketched and outlined, a colossal silhouette gradually emerged within Ling Canghai’s Domain Realm.

What was even more shocking was that this colossal silhouette actually appeared outside Ling Canghai’s body, wrapping his entire person within it.

In the end, Ling Canghai vanished, replaced by an enormous body bursting with a sense of raw power.

Whoever saw such a giant beast, the first thing that would come to mind would definitely be power!

As if it was the very synonym of power itself; the instant you laid eyes on it, what surfaced in your mind was power— and a terrifying power at that.

Just its appearance alone could bring an immense sense of oppression. Such a giant beast was unbelievably shocking!

After quite a while, the giant beast within the Domain Realm finally quivered slightly.

Just that single quiver seemed to make the entire space shudder along with it.

The next moment, the giant beast slowly opened its eyes— a pair of vertical golden pupils.

When its gaze locked with Li Chen’s, Li Chen’s heart involuntarily jolted.

"Long time no see... Huaxia Martial Artist."

The instant the giant beast spoke, Li Chen’s heart stirred slightly.

"It really is you." After a brief silence, the killing intent in Li Chen’s eyes grew even denser. "Behemoth!!"

"Mm, seems you still remember me." The black giant beast looked at Li Chen, its golden pupils appearing unusually calm at this moment. "I have to say, the impression you left on me is quite deep."

"Although back then it was only an alter ego, it was the most crucial one among my many alter egos merging, the one that awakened from slumber. Even now, the fusion is mainly based on that alter ego’s will. So the memories from that Lower Realm Space called ’Earth’ are especially vivid... especially my memories of you!"

"I just didn’t expect that in only so many years, you’d already reach your current level." Behemoth’s voice was as calm as an ancient well. "You really did surprise me."

"Once I kill you with my own hands, you won’t be surprised anymore." Li Chen tightened his grip on Red Moon.

Because he sensed that, at this moment, things were already somewhat different from just now.

Ling Canghai could be considered powerful, but he was very limited, at least absolutely within the range Li Chen could handle.

But the appearance of Behemoth caught him off guard.

Moreover, the Cultivation Behemoth displayed at this moment had faintly surpassed the Soul Realm, reaching the verge of stepping into the True Realm.

Facing such an enemy, even he could not afford the slightest carelessness.

"Speaking of which, we can be said to share quite the fated bond." Behemoth said softly, "The Four Great Realms are so vast and boundless, yet I never thought we would still have a chance to meet. And you and my loyal Servant also seem to be enemies?"

"Loyal?" Li Chen let out a cold laugh and said nothing.

He believed that if Ling Canghai had a stronger existence as his backing, he would absolutely abandon Behemoth at the first moment.

This was far from the first time Ling Canghai had done such a thing.

The one who knows you best is always your enemy!

"This Servant of mine requested that I kill you. Mm, although the Endurance of this body of his is limited, this alter ego of mine can at most display half-step True Realm Power, but to deal with you, it should be enough." Behemoth thought for a moment, then added, "Consider it ending that war we never finished back then?"

When that battle of the past was mentioned, Li Chen’s eyes grew slightly bloodshot.

"Yes, I, too, wish to end that battle of the past. Unfortunately, what you sent is only an alter ego, so I cannot kill you directly. What a pity!!" Li Chen’s voice sounded a bit hoarse. "Enough to deal with me? Behemoth, have you forgotten how back then, you, one Infinite Hell, were beaten by my Burning Heat till you were like a dead dog?"

"I remember, how could I not remember?" Behemoth sighed. "Precisely because I remember that I was so deeply impressed by that Mortal Martial Arts you spoke of."

"All these years, I have been pondering those Mortal Martial Arts, the very Techniques you used back then to deal with me. At first glance, they seemed crude and unsightly, and in just a single thought I could come up with countless ways to break them. Yet when I cast aside my Cultivation, abandoned my Power, and reconsidered these simple Tricks, I discovered that these so-called Mortal Martial Arts each possessed the potential to soar into the heavens and transform into Great Divine Power."

Behemoth gazed at Li Chen with a look of deep emotion. "Huaxia Martial Artist, truly worthy of the name. If your Human Race were given the Physique of our race—no, even just half of it—then our Giant Beast Behemoth clan’s title of invincible in land warfare might have to be handed over."

Li Chen sneered. "So in the end, you still insist on that view?"

"I insist." Behemoth said solemnly. "Although these techniques truly contain profound Mysterious meaning, the gap in Physique is also an insurmountable chasm!"

"Good! Since you still believe that, then today I’ll use reality to tell you—you... are wrong!" Li Chen roared, and his Domain Realm exploded in an instant, transforming into a long blade that slashed toward Ling Canghai’s Domain Realm.

Although the Domain Realm was still Ling Canghai’s, its controller had already become Behemoth.

Ling Canghai was a ruthless man, and also very clever.

After only a few exchanges, he understood that relying on himself, he could not defeat Li Chen, so he decisively used the one promise he had obtained from Behemoth’s own mouth.

"Boom!!"

Under Li Chen’s Domain-as-blade, he directly cleaved open Ling Canghai’s Domain Realm with a single stroke. At the same time, Li Chen no longer unfolded his Domain, but instead charged straight at Behemoth.

At the instant Li Chen approached, Behemoth moved.

His massive body swayed a few times; though enormous, it revealed terrifying speed and agility.

Back then, constrained by his Cultivation, what he displayed was only some simple instincts, but now, after memory and Cultivation fused, he was no longer the Behemoth of those years.

Whether in Power or in vision, he was no longer on the same level.

"Whoo—"

With a twist of his torso, Behemoth’s huge fist tore through the air and blasted straight toward Li Chen’s chest.

There was not the slightest trace of fear on Li Chen’s face. His hands drew a circle, using softness to overcome hardness to deflect that punch, forcibly unloading the Power of that giant fist to the side, while at the same time his knee drove upward toward Behemoth’s abdomen.

What surprised Li Chen was that the moment his knee drove up, Behemoth’s body suddenly braced; he proactively pressed his abdomen against Li Chen’s knee, taking that blow head-on. At the same time, Behemoth’s other hand clenched into a claw and raked toward Li Chen.

"Pa!"

"Rip!"

Two impact sounds rang out, and the two of them retreated far apart at the same time.

A new bloody hole appeared in Behemoth’s abdomen, a wound smashed open by Law Power.

Li Chen’s clothing at his waist was torn open; several bloody, mangled claw marks had appeared on his body, gruesome to the extreme.

After a brief pause, the two figures once again threw themselves into a desperate life-and-death struggle.

This time, there were no shocking storms, no towering radiance of Divine Skills.

But the peril hidden in this battle was something only the two of them knew.

In the distance, the Blood Clan youth Cain and Blood Ox stood in the Void, watching this scene, and let out a soft sigh.

"Why go this far."
