Rebirth of the Supreme Immortal Emperor-Chapter 1278 - 1275: Departure!

When the world returned to tranquility, all that was visible was devastation.

Only one golden bell still stood in the void.

Golden light swirled around it, like a rising sun, too dazzling to look at directly.

Soon, the golden bell rapidly shrank, steadily landing in the palm of the Five Thunders True Monarch.

He remained as before, with white hair and a youthful face, an ethereal aura, not even his robe had a single tear.

Seeing this, the disciples of the Heavenly Thunder Sect erupted in deafening cheers.

The Baihua Fairy also led the disciples from Baihua Palace forward to offer congratulations.

The Five Thunders True Monarch waved his hand dismissively and said, "It’s merely a junior, causing the Fairy to laugh!"

After saying this, he slightly bowed to the Baihua Fairy.

"There are still matters to handle within the sect, so I must take my leave. This time, I troubled the Fairy to come personally, after handling sect affairs, I’ll personally visit Baihua Palace to express my gratitude!"

The Baihua Fairy, understanding and reasonable, expressed her understanding.

The Five Thunders True Monarch didn’t linger and quickly left with the sect disciples.

An Elder, noticing something was off about the Five Thunders True Monarch’s expression, stepped forward to ask.

"Sect Leader Brother, are you alright?"

However, before he could finish speaking, the Five Thunders True Monarch suddenly "wah" and spat out blood.

Startling all the present disciples of the Heavenly Thunder Sect.

"Sect Leader Brother!"

"Master!"

"Elder Brother!"

After a moment of shock, they all rushed forward, anxiously asking about the situation.

The Five Thunders True Monarch took out a pill and consumed it, barely stabilizing his breath.

He waved his hand with difficulty and said, "It’s nothing, just a minor injury!"

After saying this, he suddenly assumed an unusually serious expression, surveying the crowd, and sternly ordered, "No one is to mention my injury, otherwise, whoever does so will be severely punished!"

The entire Heavenly Thunder Sect cupped their hands in unison and replied, "Understood!"

Hearing the disciples’ response, the Five Thunders True Monarch nodded in satisfaction.

He then looked at an Elder and said, "Hu Qing, Junior Brother, once we return to the sect, I might need to enter seclusion. During my seclusion, sect affairs will be handled by you and Qinghe, Junior Brother!"

After saying this, the Five Thunders True Monarch seemed to recall something and added.

"If powerful enemies come knocking, seek advice from Senior Brother Lu Feng!"

Hu Qing is the Law Enforcement Elder of the Heavenly Thunder Sect, ranking third in the sect’s hierarchy. Only below the Sect Leader, the Five Thunders True Monarch, and the Great Elder Lu Feng.

However, the Great Elder Lu Feng is easygoing and solely devoted to cultivation, rarely concerning himself with sect matters.

By seniority or cultivation, the Great Elder Lu Feng surpassed the Five Thunders True Monarch.

He should have succeeded the position of Sect Leader back then.

However, Lu Feng directly refused due to personality issues.

Thus, the position fell to the Five Thunders True Monarch, who took over as Sect Leader.

The Five Thunders True Monarch is extremely proud, dreaming of surpassing Senior Brother Lu Feng.

Hence, after becoming Sect Leader, he worked diligently to barely halt the sect’s decline.

It could be said that without the Five Thunders True Monarch, the position of one of the nine great sacred sects in the Heavenly Thunder Sect might’ve been replaced by the ever-covetous Azure Sky Pavilion.

Yet now, he intends to enter long-term seclusion, disregarding sect affairs.

Even planning to consult Senior Brother Lu Feng if encountering difficult issues.

It’s known that the Five Thunders True Monarch still harbors resentment over past events.

Thus, his relationship with Senior Brother Lu Feng is nearly at a breaking point, aside from the annual sect rituals, they seldom interact voluntarily.

Abnormal occurrences often herald misfortune!

Hu Qing keenly sensed that Sect Leader Brother was seriously injured this time, even hurting his foundation.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have such unusual arrangements.

"Sect Leader Brother, your injury..."

Hu Qing tentatively asked, but before he could finish half a sentence, the Five Thunders True Monarch’s cold, frost-like eyes immediately swept over, causing Hu Qing to shiver involuntarily.

"My injuries are fine, just remember what I’ve said!"

Hu Qing dared not ask further, bowing respectfully.

"I strictly abide by Sect Leader Brother’s teachings!"

Seeing Hu Qing’s compliance, the Five Thunders True Monarch nodded contently, reaching out to gently pat his shoulder.

Hu Qing’s guess was spot on.

Even with the sect’s esteemed treasure, the Heavenly Thunder Golden Bell Defense, the Five Thunders True Monarch had been hurt to his core by Li Chen’s self-destruction.

His physical body and Divine Soul had suffered varying degrees of injury.

At this moment, describing him as riddled with holes wouldn’t be an exaggeration.

The Five Thunders True Monarch even suspected that without the protection of the Heavenly Thunder Golden Bell, which absorbed most of the impact,

Li Chen’s self-destruction might have truly led to mutual destruction and downfall.

At least his physical body would certainly be unsalvageable.

Recalling that horrifying black hole that could devour everything, even the Five Thunders True Monarch shivered, inadvertently revealing fear.

Fortunately, that monster was dead, body and soul annihilated!

Thinking of this, the Five Thunders True Monarch’s pale complexion slightly eased.

...

Little Witch Xie Wanwan and Xia Ning’er stood amidst the ruins.

As far as the eye could see, there was devastation, corpses strewn everywhere, like purgatory in the Human World.

"Is he dead?"

Xia Ning’er trembled internally, asking shakily.

Xie Wanwan didn’t respond verbally, only offered a bitter smile.

The Five Thunders True Monarch had already utilized the Heavenly Thunder Golden Bell. No matter how monstrous Li Chen was, he couldn’t possibly survive.

Nonetheless, she said nothing, only gently patted Xia Ning’er’s shoulder.

"Ning’er, come back to Azure Sky Pavilion with me!"

Regarding Xie Wanwan’s words, Xia Ning’er seemed unresponsive, only looking at her with hopeful eyes.

"Last time, two elders from the Heavenly Thunder Sect and the Jian Dynasty’s Master Wen Zhong, three Divinity Transformation True Monarchs, joined forces and couldn’t kill him. This time, surely he won’t die either. You agree, right?"

Xie Wanwan opened her mouth, but couldn’t utter a word, only nodding heavily.

After a while, seeing Xia Ning’er’s emotions somewhat stabilized, she then spoke:

"Ning’er, return with me to Azure Sky Pavilion. If he’s not dead, perhaps he’ll come there to find you!"

Xia Ning’er wiped her tears with her sleeve and gently nodded.

In truth, she knew she was merely deceiving herself.

Who is the Five Thunders True Monarch?

He’s the Sect Leader of the Heavenly Thunder Sect, ranked fifteenth on the Peak List, a top-tier powerhouse!

Moreover, in the Five Thunders True Monarch’s hand is a top-tier Divine Weapon, the Heavenly Thunder Golden Bell.

In his hands, how could Li Chen have any hope of survival?

Reflecting on her sorrow, Xia Ning’er slightly raised her head, letting the wind dry her tears, leaving two faint tear stains...

...

The second Chapter is presented, that’s all for today, good night everyone!

Tomorrow, a very important character will be introduced, who made a cameo before.

A hint, it’s an adorable little girl!

Feel free to guess who it is?
