Rebirth of the Supreme Immortal Emperor

"Li Chen, I told you, today this Ascending Dragon Platform will be your burial ground!"

Jian Wuheng held the Dragon Slayer Sword, with a look of triumph in his sinister eyes.

Li Chen dusted off his clothes and firmly responded, "If I can defeat you once, I can defeat you a second time!"

As his words were still lingering in the air, Li Chen reached out into the void, grabbing the Seven-star Dragon Abyss, his whole being like a Jiao Long emerging from the sea, enveloped with the momentum of splitting Mount Hua, slashing at Jian Wuheng.

Jian Wuheng had previously fought against Li Chen, and was well aware that his opponent's Sword Dao prowess had reached an almost unfathomable level. It was imperative not to underestimate him in any way.

"Heaven Shattering Slash!"

This was the eighth sword of the Heavenly Sword Nine Techniques, with the sword shadow transforming into a dragon, soaring through the Nine Heavens, fiercely colliding with Li Chen's Seven-star Dragon Abyss.

"Dang—clang!"

The clash of the two unparalleled Divine Weapons in mid-air was akin to the collision of two cruise missiles, generating an extremely terrifying destructive power on the spot, shaking the ground and mountains. The momentary release of intense light directly robbed the world of all its colors, leaving the entire heavens and earth in a blinding desolate white.

Witnessing such a dreadful scene, the weaker onlookers were forced to retreat repeatedly. Some unlucky ones had their eyes pierced, clutching their heads and writhing on the ground.

Even some strong cultivators instinctively covered their faces with their sleeves and erected defensive barriers to resist the impact of the aftermath.

After this fatal collision, both Li Chen and Jian Wuheng's figures simultaneously retreated rapidly.

Jian Wuheng's expression was as dark as ice, almost about to drip water. Although he had tried to overestimate Li Chen's strength as much as possible, his opponent's power still exceeded his imagination.

It was known that under the amplification of the Red Lotus Pill, even a genuine Nascent Soul Strong People would have to shy away from that sword just now.

Yet Li Chen took it head-on, without falling behind in the slightest, which was simply inconceivable.

It seems that only by risking everything can he wield that final sword!

With this thought, a mix of blood and fire seemed to madly merge in Jian Wuheng's eyes. His entire body seemed to ignite in fierce flames, making the sky above him appear blood-red.

Suddenly, he raised the Dragon Slayer Sword abruptly, like a blood-soaked Divine Demon, hysterically shouting, "Li Chen, it's all over!"

"Silent Annihilation Slash!"

This was the final sword of the Heavenly Sword Nine Techniques, and the most domineering and terrifying one. Plus, under the powerful amplification of the Red Lotus Spirit Pill, this sword's power was at least three times greater than before.

This had already far exceeded Jian Wuheng's current capacity for endurance. Even if he could succeed, he would certainly suffer the backlash of the side effects brought by the Red Lotus Spiritual Medicine. With slight carelessness, he could end up dead.

It could be said that Jian Wuheng's Silent Annihilation Slash was entirely a life-for-life wager!

During normal times, with his nature, he would certainly not do such a mad thing.

But now, he was no longer merely human. He had become a blood-soaked demon, a furious beast. For the sake of killing Li Chen, he was willing to pay any price, including his own life.

Moreover, he had a deep foreboding that if this sword could not kill Li Chen, then he might never have another opportunity to kill him in his lifetime.

"Li Chen, come fight, let us settle this once and for all!"

Jian Wuheng was completely insane, roaring hysterically. The Dragon Slayer Sword in his hand grew against the wind, transforming into a Red Dragon Sword Shadow hundreds of feet long.

The void was also filled with countless fiery lotus flowers. They were scattered like stars surrounding the moon, lingering around the Red Dragon Sword Shadow.

A roar of dragon resounded, instantly tearing through the void and echoing across heaven and earth.

Accompanying the dragon's roar, these fiery lotus flowers accelerated their burning until they completely withered, transforming into strands of Spiritual Power, gathering onto the Dragon Slayer Sword as if a hundred rivers flowing into the sea.

Witnessing this terrifying scene, everyone present was rendered utterly speechless.

Even a Nascent Soul Cultivator couldn't withstand this terrifying sword, could they?

It seems this time, Li Chen is surely doomed!

The concept that what is too rigid breaks easily was a lesson misunderstood, and despite his extraordinary talents, he cannot escape the fate of falling!

These were the thoughts running through the minds of many leading figures and Great Powers at this moment.

Sect Leader Jian Chen, seated on the Cloud Platform of Heavenly Sword Mountain, had a trace of pain in his eyes.

After a long sigh, he finally exhaled softly, "Ah, time and fate..."

Jian Chen wasn't feeling sentimental for Li Chen.

He felt this way because he was acutely aware that his beloved disciple was wagering life-for-life. The effects amplified by the Red Lotus Spirit Pill were increasingly fierce, and the backlash was equally severe.

With this final sword strike, he might very likely perish together with Li Chen. Even if he managed to survive, his cultivation realm might remain stagnant, difficult to advance further.

Zhao Yuqing, Lian Hongshang, and Ling Shuanghua all had eyes brimming with worry.

Especially Ling Shuanghua, who even felt some self-blame. She shouldn't have provoked Jian Wuheng that much; otherwise, he might not have lost his mind completely and wagered life-for-life against Li Chen.

Taking another look at Li Chen, although his expression was grave as a mountain, it did not show any panic.

After calming his mind, he suddenly performed an action that was bewildering to everyone.

He actually threw away the Seven-star Dragon Abyss!

Thrown away!

"Did I see it wrong? Why did Li Chen throw away the Divine Weapon?"

Someone couldn't believe their eyes and immediately let out a startling cry.

Other people's expressions changed sharply, all speculating the reason behind Li Chen's action?

Someone thought, rather arrogantly, that Li Chen, just like them, was completely intimidated by Jian Wuheng's world-destroying sword. Knowing that he was doomed, he lost the courage to resist, ready to face execution. Dying calmly this way would be more dignified.

Of course, these were merely the naïve thoughts of dumb idiots. Most people believed Li Chen's action had a deeper meaning, though they couldn't guess it at the moment.

Li Chen didn't pay attention to them, remaining immovable like a mountain. He parallelly positioned his hands before his chest, quickly formed a seal.

Immediately, his whole body radiated a teal-green light, as if vibrant Life Spirit Spring ceaselessly poured into him.

This Spiritual Spring traversed from his heart Dantian, through his veins and vessels, permeating across the Big and Small 36 Circuits, until a green Divine Tripod engraved with strange runes emerged vaguely within his body.

Though Jian Wuheng had also noticed the bizarre changes happening in Li Chen's body, he was now like an arrow drawn on a bowstring, with no going back.

Furthermore, he was confident that his Silent Annihilation Slash could destroy the world; even Nascent Soul Great Power couldn't withstand it.

Under this sword, Li Chen had absolutely no chance to survive!

"Li Chen, it's over, die!"
