Rebirth of the Supreme Immortal Emperor-Chapter 1148 - 1145: Destroy the Experimental Base!
30,000 meters underground in Houston, the Ancient Maya’s experimental base No. 1:
At this moment, all the ancient Mayans stared at the flowing LCD screens with an incredible gaze.
On them were images sent back by Zhizi: the ultimate showdown between Li Chen and the Saint!
When they saw the Saint fall, everyone collapsed in despair, slumping to the ground.
Even the Angel Clan’s ruling Saint was defeated by this monster Li Chen.
How could they, with just their numbers, possibly withstand this monster Li Chen?
Amidst the panic and unease of everyone, a high-ranking elder of the Ancient Maya suddenly spoke:
"Leader, do not worry. Although the monster Li Chen defeated the Saint, he was also injured by the Saint’s Withered Wood Curse. Holy Son Adam and the seven Red Robed Great Mages have already gone after him. Surely they will slay him!"
Upon hearing this, Bruce and the others rewatched the video sent back by Zhizi several times.
"Elder Ella is right; we are worrying about nothing!"
Having stayed on Earth for a long time, Bruce had even learned how to use idioms.
For a moment, the tense and uneasy atmosphere eased a bit.
However, just as these Mayan Star people confidently thought that Li Chen was surely doomed and that they could rest easy, a violent tremor abruptly shook their surroundings.
"What’s going on? An earthquake?"
Before Bruce could finish his sentence, all the screens on the instruments suddenly filled with static.
Clearly, they had all failed!
Then, a figure they all considered their nightmare suddenly emerged from the void.
Instantly, every Mayan in the experimental base was plunged back into panic.
"Li Chen?"
"Didn’t he die with the Angel Clan? How is he here?"
"Quick, quick, activate the Reserve Energy Defense Layer!"
Before leader Bruce could finish speaking, nine layers of energy defenses were laid over the experimental base’s perimeter.
Then, a group of warriors clad in Mercury Battle Armor, wielding powerful laser guns, swiftly stepped out to face the enemy.
"Kachak!"
Li Chen swung the Seven-star Dragon Abyss sword fiercely at the Energy Defense Layer outside.
Instantly, the Energy Defense Layer vibrated violently as if water splashed by a stone.
However, it was quickly stabilized by the newly supplemented energy.
Seeing this, Li Chen frowned slightly.
Nevertheless, he didn’t pay it much heed and swung the sword once more.
"Alert, alert, Energy Defense Layer is under powerful external impact!"
"Alert, the first defense layer has collapsed!"
"The second defense layer has collapsed!"
The third!
...
The sixth!
Under the terrifying Sword Intent of Li Chen, the Maya’s Energy Barrier had already collapsed through six layers, leaving only three struggling to hold.
Moreover, at this rate, the remaining three won’t hold for long and will soon completely collapse.
By then, doom would await them!
"Leader, the Energy Defense Layer is about to fail against the monster Li Chen; we must leave now!"
At this time, senior members of the Ancient Maya rushed to persuade leader Bruce to leave.
Bruce, with a look of despair, mumbled to himself.
"Leave? Leave here to go where? Must I also fall in the darkest moment before dawn like my comrade Kela Ant?"
"Alert, alert, the seventh energy layer has been breached. Energy reserves are below the critical 20%. Please evacuate quickly, evacuate quickly!"
At this moment, a sharp alert sounded again from the energy defenses.
The hearts of the Mayan Ancient people sank heavily.
"Leader, humans have a saying — while there’s life, there’s hope. Please, order an evacuation from this place of disaster!"
Bruce looked around, finally making a firm decision.
"Gather everyone, move all gear to the interstellar ship. Immediately activate the destruction device; everything that can’t be taken must be destroyed on the spot; there must be no human traces of our data!"
Upon receiving their leader’s orders, the members of the Mayan Ancient group busily scrambled around.
As Li Chen shattered the last defense layer, the Mayan’s interstellar spaceship had already launched, speeding through a tunnel to the surface.
A division of Mercury-armored warriors remained as a suicide squad, tasked with delaying Li Chen.
Seeing Li Chen, they opened fire with their laser guns in a berserk salvo, creating a fierce battle scene with rocks and magma.
"Hmph, a bunch of ignorant ants!"
Li Chen disdainfully snorted, flicked his sword to unleash a Sword Rainbow, which multiplied into thousands of Sword Shadows enveloping them like a torrential downpour.
"Squelch!"
"Squelch!"
"Squelch!"
...
These high-tech Mercury warriors of the Maya, even after countless battles, couldn’t withstand this sword strike of Li Chen.
In just a few breaths, all the high-tech equipment on them had turned into scrap metal.
Li Chen stepped over their bodies, looked up at the tunnel, and swiftly ascended into the sky to pursue.
Four o’clock in the morning:
While Houston was still asleep, the streets were deserted, with only neon lights flickering alone.
Suddenly!
A violent shaking awakened the entire city!
Millions of residents jolted awake from their sleep.
In their blank minds, only one thought remained.
An earthquake!
Soon, before they could react, a blinding light shot up into the sky, turning the entire night into daylight.
"Oh, my God, what am I seeing?"
"Seems like an alien UFO!"
"Look, there’s someone behind that UFO!"
...
As Houstonians speculated, Li Chen pursued the Mayan starship high into the sky. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶
The Mayan battleship fired super missiles as it fled Earth, trying to stop Li Chen’s relentless advance.
However, these missiles were like toys to Li Chen, merely tickling him.
Of course, this was only true for Li Chen.
To the residents of Houston and surrounding cities, it was a catastrophe.
Though most missiles were intercepted and exploded high in the sky, a few fell into the city.
Instantly, mushroom clouds blazed into the sky!
The tall buildings of Houston were utterly destroyed.
In just a few seconds, the dead and injured numbered in the hundreds of thousands.
And that number was soaring rapidly.
It was a real-life scene straight out of Hollywood’s disaster movie ’2012’.
Apocalypse had quietly arrived!

Sorry for the lack of updates as I hit a writer’s block yesterday!
