Rebirth of the Supreme Immortal Emperor-Chapter 1016 - 1013: A Life-and-Death Struggle

The expression on Heng Mountain Ancestor’s face was fluctuating.

The situation on Li Chen’s side was also not optimistic.

Not long ago, he had just fiercely battled with the fierce beasts Guppy Turtle and Bone Dragon, greatly exhausting the True Yuan within his body.

In the earlier collision, if it hadn’t been for him using Soul Capturing Divine Power at the critical moment to unexpectedly penetrate Heng Mountain Ancestor’s defense and wound his Divine Soul,

even with the Domineering Longevity Body, his flesh would have been torn apart on the spot by the violent Gang wind.

After the previous probing, both Li Chen and Heng Mountain Ancestor had a basic understanding of each other’s combat power.

At this moment, they did not immediately launch another attack but engaged in a confrontation of Divine Souls, no less intense than a clash of blades, through their gazes.

Although Li Chen’s cultivation was far inferior to Heng Mountain Ancestor’s,

his Divine Soul was not in the least bit weaker than the other.

Therefore, in this clash of Divine Souls, Heng Mountain Ancestor gained no advantage and instead suffered quite a setback.

Of course, Heng Mountain Ancestor did gain some insight.

At the very least, he realized that Li Chen’s Divine Soul was exceptionally abnormal.

According to his cultivation, as long as he was prepared, it would no longer be so easy for Li Chen to launch an unexpected sneak attack like earlier.

"Li Chen, it seems I have indeed underestimated you. If you were to advance to the Nascent Soul Realm, perhaps I wouldn’t be your match. But unfortunately, you are not there yet!"

Heng Mountain Ancestor’s voice was hoarse, and his expression became increasingly gloomy, like a vulture circling high in the sky, ready to strike at any moment.

Li Chen looked serious, meeting Heng Mountain Ancestor’s gaze without showing weakness, and sneered disdainfully: "Hmph, with my current cultivation, slaying you is enough!"

"Hmph, arrogant!"

Heng Mountain Ancestor snorted angrily, his withered hands quickly clasped together into seals, as resplendent brilliance swirled around him, resembling the winding Yellow River, surging with great force, sweeping towards Li Chen through the void.

Seeing this, Li Chen’s eyes narrowed.

Immediately, his toes hit the ground fiercely, and he soared into the sky with his movement technique Roc Spread Wings, reaching fifty times the speed of sound.

The Seven-star Dragon Abyss was already cast into the air by Li Chen, hovering above his head.

Simultaneously, in his palm, an azure Ancient Cauldron materialized.

The veins and inscriptions on the Ancient Cauldron intersected, forming a dazzling pillar of light that shot straight into the Nine Heavens Cloud.

Immediately, it expanded swiftly, growing larger in the wind until it transformed into a giant blue mountain.

"Clang!"

"Clang!"

"Clang!" 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

...

The surging floodwaters madly pounded on the Qingzhou Tripod, emitting either dull or clear crashing sounds.

The void within tens of miles collapsed in an instant. Even the still water of the River of Oblivion now surged with waves, and the dead spirit ghosts within had long since fled without a trace.

"Qingzhou Tripod?"

Heng Mountain Ancestor’s pupils dilated, filled with shock and fervor.

The Yu Emperor’s Treasure Cauldron was reputed to be the strongest Divine Artifact in Jiuzhou, bar none.

Heng Mountain Ancestor would not dare harbor any underestimation, even with his full confidence.

Moreover, to his knowledge, Li Chen possessed more than one Yu Emperor’s Treasure Cauldron.

Heng Mountain Ancestor’s thoughts raced, elevating his alertness to the highest degree, cautiously on guard.

With Li Chen still hiding another Yu Emperor’s Treasure Cauldron, he dared not reveal all his cards.

Thus, the two fell into a stalemate of life and death confrontation.

Meanwhile:

Little Demon Immortal and Baili Xiang.

Lian Hongshang and Bloodthirsty Monk.

Ximen Qingxue and Sha Moke.

Their battles had also reached a life-and-death white-hot state.

Normally, Little Demon Immortal, with the Lotus Platform and the Six Ding and Six Jia, two top-grade magical treasures, could absolutely dominate Baili Xiang.

But in Huai Mountain and the River of Oblivion, she had expended a large amount of True Yuan, and was now practically exhausted.

However, with the Lotus Platform and Six Ding and Six Jia, Baili Xiang was wary and dared not attack with full force, leading both to naturally fall into a stalemate.

Bloodthirsty Monk skillfully wielded a five-foot-four-inch long Ghost Head Blood Drinking Saber, its blade dark red, producing the roar of fierce beasts when swung, like a savage beast that devours humans.

If it came to a head-on confrontation, with Lian Hongshang’s cultivation, she naturally couldn’t rival him.

However, having always practiced the "Wushan Cloud Rain" technique with Li Chen, Li Chen had tailored many powerful Divine Skills for her.

Thus, although she couldn’t defeat Bloodthirsty Monk, dragging on for some time wasn’t an issue.

Compared to Little Demon Immortal and Lian Hongshang, Ximen Qingxue fared slightly better.

She possessed the Lifebound Magical Treasure Ice Soul, capable of instantly freezing the surrounding void, significantly slowing Sha Moke’s attack speed.

Sha Moke, being of the Barbarian race, had a natural disadvantage in movement speed compared to the Human Clan and Demon Clan.

Now further obstructed by Ximen Qingxue’s Ice Soul, it was a disaster upon disaster.

In Ximen Qingxue’s eyes, his speed at this moment was scarcely different from that of a snail.

Thus, Sha Moke, though possessing brute strength, faced the nimble Ximen Qingxue, as if a slow ox chasing a rabbit, was unable to employ his strength.

Additionally, with Ximen Qingxue commanding the Lightning Weasel to harass Sha Moke continuously, his frustration was immense.

Though the attack power of the Lightning Weasel was unlikely to heavily wound the thick-skinned Sha Moke, if it managed to hit crucial points like the eyes, it could still give him serious trouble.

"Crack!"

The Lightning Weasel’s claws, as sharp as silver hooks, once again drew three bloody scratches on Sha Moke’s face, close to the corner of his eye, nearly gouging it out.

Sha Moke was furious, pounding his robust chest like a blind bear gone mad.

"Roar!"

The Lightning Weasel was startled, leaving a trail in the air as it swiftly leaped onto Ximen Qingxue’s shoulder, retracting its head apprehensively.

By nature timid, it would have fled long ago. Now, cooperating with its master to harass the target was already a rare feat.

Seeing the hefty figure before her, now entirely engulfed in rage and entering a berserk state, Ximen Qingxue felt a wave of tension.

A sidelong glance at Lian Hongshang, Little Demon Immortal, and Li Chen made her brows furrow slightly.

The current battle was very unfavorable for their side!

Especially Little Demon Immortal, whose frail body seemed like a floating duckweed in a storm, with faint traces of blood seeping from the corners of her mouth.

Noticing this, Ximen Qingxue’s eyes flickered, calculating silently in her mind.

It seemed Little Demon Immortal couldn’t hold on for much longer. She needed to resolve this bulky opponent quickly to go assist her.

Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Roar!"

Sha Moke let out another beast-like roar, wielding an axe comparable to a Ferris wheel, bringing it down on Ximen Qingxue with the momentum of splitting Tai Mountain.

Ximen Qingxue slightly opened her mouth, breathing out the Ice Soul.

The cold wind arose!

The surrounding temperature plummeted by dozens of degrees, even freezing the River of Oblivion solid in an instant.

Swiftly, a cold wind began to swirl around Sha Moke’s upraised axe.

A thick layer of frost quickly formed on the axe.

Sha Moke shivered uncontrollably, significantly affecting his speed. The axe held high was slow to descend.

Taking this chance!

Ximen Qingxue flicked her wrist, her sword darting out like a Spiritual Snake, quickly pierced through the void, targeting Sha Moke’s throat Life Gate.

"Creek, creek!"

The typically timid Lightning Weasel now seemed to be emboldened, tearing through the air, claws generating spark-like flashes.

If this strike hit!

Even if Sha Moke, with his thick skin, were lucky enough to survive, he would suffer severe injury and temporarily lose combat capability.

Thus, whether Ximen Qingxue decides to seize this advantage and finish him off, or disengage to assist Little Demon Immortal, she would do so effortlessly.

However, at this critical juncture, an unexpected development occurred!

The two Barbarian experts, who had been observers up to this point, suddenly sprang into action like released rabbits. From both left and right, they charged straight at Ximen Qingxue...

Danger was imminent!
