Chapter 2072 - 2040: King of the Netherworld? King of the Netherworld!
Chapter 2072 - 2040: King of the Netherworld? King of the Netherworld!
Upon seeing the black-clad youth approaching slowly, everyone fell into a state of chaos.
Many couldn’t help but rub their eyes.
But after careful confirmation, they realized that they weren’t seeing things.
This slowly approaching youth was none other than Li Chen!
The same Li Chen who was a revered figure in their minds, a legendary existence in the Martial Artist World; the King of the Netherworld!
"Lord Nether King!"
Someone started shouting, and after that, countless voices echoed throughout the place.
"Nether King!"
"Lord Nether King!"
"Is that... the boss?" Ye Tu couldn’t help but widen his eyes, looking at the youth approaching slowly, he said with disbelief.
"You should ask your big sister about this." Zi Zhao seemed to know something, casting a meaningful glance at Catherine behind.
"What do you mean?" Ye Tu frowned, looking at Zi Zhao.
"Nothing." Zi Zhao shook his head and didn’t say more.
At this moment, Xivilo also seemed to sense something was off, looking at the black-clad youth, he furrowed his brow: "Nether King? Even an ant dares to call itself the Nether King?"
However, the black-clad youth just stood there calmly.
Responding neither to the voices of others nor to Xivilo’s words.
Simply looking at him quietly.
As if in his eyes, there was only Xivilo.
Or perhaps, there was nothing in his eyes.
Upon seeing Li Chen’s demeanor, the shouting gradually died down, because they also noticed that something seemed off with Li Chen.
Because not only did Li Chen not respond to them, there wasn’t a hint of expression on his face.
Especially his eyes, too calm.
Calm like... a dead man.
Xivilo also seemed to notice something, suddenly revealing a cold smile: "Seems like, not only is it an ant, but a half-dead ant!"
Looking at Li Chen, Xivilo directly swung a spear.
The spear light turned into a radiance like the scorching sun, slashing down towards Li Chen.
But at this moment, Li Chen, who had been standing still, suddenly raised his hand.
A flash of cold light dashed by incredibly fast.
"Boom!!"
In the sky, like a flash of lightning, the spear light was suddenly torn apart.
And in Li Chen’s hand, at some unknown time, there was now an extra knife.
Witnessing this scene, Xivilo’s eyes gradually became sullen. At the same time, a sense of caution also grew in his heart.
After being schemed against once, he didn’t dare to be as careless as before.
Clearly, this group of ants was not as simple as he imagined.
Although the cultivation aura of the ant before him was very weak, for some reason, he felt a sense of danger from it.
Being an existence of this grade, he had great faith in his instincts!
"Boom!!"
Beneath Xivilo’s feet, a violent aura exploded. For the first time, Xivilo made a proactive move, determined to eliminate this ant as quickly as possible to remove the hidden danger in his heart.
At the same time, Li Chen also rose swiftly, holding a long knife, and engaged in a fierce battle with Xivilo.
When their battle erupted, the experts below couldn’t help but widen their eyes.
Not only because a battle of this grade was a rare sight, but also because the one fighting was the legendary Nether King. And the commotion from this battle far exceeded the time when many of them fought against Xivilo before!
Bai Feihu couldn’t help but click his tongue: "The Nether King truly is the Nether King."
"No, that’s not right." At this moment, Li Weisi shook his head: "He’s not the teacher."
"Not?" Bai Feihu was taken aback. He had interacted with Li Chen, but not much, so he couldn’t judge, only recognize from appearance.
"That’s right, he’s indeed not Brother Cheen." At this moment, Ji Changfeng also shook his head.
Ye Tu fell silent, saying nothing.
Though he didn’t speak, his expression revealed his thoughts.
This was not Li Chen.
"Seems like Alice ultimately succeeded." Ye Tu shook his head and said: "Back then, I was more opposed to this research, which is why I never returned to the Nether King Group. I didn’t expect she eventually succeeded, and I now have to rely on her for a lifeline."
Speaking this, Ye Tu couldn’t help but let a self-deprecating smile play across his lips.
Back in the day, Alice proposed a crazy research project: Cloning Li Chen!
To know, Li Chen was already the strongest before his ascension.
Not to mention, his strength was much greater than during the battle at Kunlun when he was about to ascend!
Such a strong person, indeed made everyone long for.
After Li Chen left, the Palace of the Nether King developed rapidly, but with very few true strong people belonging to the Palace itself. People like Bai Haoyue and others were fully prepared in closed-door cultivation to reach higher realms for ascension, so the Palace’s position was quite awkward.
On one hand, they were held in too high esteem, and without matching strength, they could potentially be figuratively suffocated by others’ admiration!
It was then that Alice proposed this research project.
Initially, although Ye Tu opposed it, it was because he thought the success probability of this research was low, if not impossible.
Because there was only one Li Chen, even if Alice truly cloned him, it would just be a body, not him, and the potential strength was questionable.
But Ye Tu didn’t expect that finally, Alice actually succeeded in her research.
Moreover, it was evident this ’Li Chen’ possessed far more terrifying strength than he imagined.
Among them, the strongest Sun Lieyang and Shi Ying could only withstand a few moves from Xivilo, but even if this Li Chen was fake, he could fight this terrifying guy on an equal footing.
However, they didn’t know that at this moment, Xivilo was already repressed and furious to the extreme.
"Damn it! Damn it! If it weren’t for this world’s heavenly rules suppressing my power of laws, if it weren’t for those damned parasites, with my Domain Realm cultivation, killing this ant would be as easy as turning my hand!" Xivilo was already furious to the extreme in his heart.
Although this ant’s power had reached the Heavenly Level, with terrifying lethality even without laws, but this Heavenly Level was still just a low-level Heavenly Level, whereas he was a genuine Domain Realm expert!
Yet facing such an ant, he couldn’t settle it for half the day, which was utterly shameful for him.
"Die, ant!!"
With a roar, Xivilo slammed the spear down, forcefully smashing ’Li Chen’ into the ground.
"Ants, all you ants deserve to die!!" Turning his head, looking towards the crowd, a sinister killing intent rose in Xivilo’s eyes.
But just then, a colder voice came from afar.
"I hate those bastards who keep calling people ants, a piece of trash not even at Soul Realm, they might be ants, but what are you?"
A boy, who looked about seventeen or eighteen years old, stood outside the Nether King Group Base, casting a cold glance at Xivilo.
