Rebirth of the Supreme Immortal Emperor-Chapter 1426 - 1423: The Final Battle! (Part 5)

"Li Chen, come and meet your death!"

At this moment, Long Ba had returned to his original form, the Tyrannosaurus.

The violent surging True Yuan raged wildly within him, causing a drastic change in the world, with wind and thunder stirring fiercely.

Li Chen’s gaze sharpened, and he secretly channeled his True Yuan through the Big and Small 36 Circuits, opening all forty-eight thousand pores throughout his body to wildly absorb the surrounding Spiritual Power.

At the same time, the Meteorite Heart within him began to spin rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, forming a closed light domain centered around his physical body.

Sensing the change in the surrounding environment, Long Ba was suddenly taken aback.

He never expected that Li Chen would hold such a heaven-defying Magical Treasure in his hands.

Beyond the shock, his beastly scarlet eyes were filled with scorching greed.

"Li Chen, I’ve really underestimated you. Unfortunately, you shouldn’t have provoked me, Long Ba!"

Long Ba roared towards the sky and suddenly raised his sharp claws, reaching towards Li Chen.

This claw looked extremely simple and crude, yet the power it displayed was absolutely formidable.

Even a mountain forged of diamonds might not withstand this claw.

However, in response, Li Chen did not show the slightest fear.

He raised the Seven-star Dragon Abyss high, gathering all the surrounding Spiritual Power to form an extremely violent Sword Intent.

"Slash!"

This single word was enough to cause the heavens and earth to change color, with wind and thunder raging.

Li Chen’s Sword Intent and Long Ba’s sharp claws clashed in mid-air, immediately unleashing an indescribable explosive force.

"Boom!"

Amidst the thunderous roar that echoed across the sky, both Li Chen and Long Ba retreated explosively.

However, they quickly charged at each other again with unstoppable momentum.

Long Ba, clad in the Overlord Battle Armor and wielding the Overlord Divine Spear, resembled an ancient giant god.

Although Li Chen wore no armor, his Domineering Longevity Body had reached the Great Achievement Realm, and its defensive power was no less than Long Ba’s Overlord Battle Armor.

With the Dragon Soul empowering the Seven-star Dragon Abyss, the power it displayed surpassed that of the Overlord Divine Spear.

Moreover, he had activated the Meteorite Heart, sealing the surrounding space.

This meant that he held an absolute home-field advantage.

However, there was one area where he was at a major disadvantage.

That was his cultivation level, far inferior to Long Ba’s.

After performing the ancient Secret Technique Blood Sacrifice, Long Ba’s cultivation level was enough to rival a Half-step Harmonization Celestial Monarch.

Li Chen, on the other hand, was only in the early-stage Divinity Transformation, and the gap between them was like heaven and earth, an impossible distance.

If it were not Li Chen but any other, even an elite like Wan Jianyi or Xie Chen from the Peak List, facing such a terrifying Long Ba would lead to instant defeat.

"Li Chen, your talent is indeed extraordinary. It would be a shame to crush it now. Why not submit? I will protect you as the Master of Greedy Wolf!"

Long Ba was shocked that after hundreds of bouts, he still couldn’t take down Li Chen.

You must understand, he had previously sacrificed the Essence Blood and Divine Soul of ten thousand clansmen to gain this power, which, while violent, could only be sustained for two hours.

And now, an hour had already passed, yet he still couldn’t defeat Li Chen.

He also noticed that Li Chen’s transformed Sword Domain was extremely bizarre, which inexplicably made him feel a hint of unease and even some fear.

Because of these considerations, Long Ba decided to retreat to a secondary plan and attempted to recruit Li Chen.

Upon hearing Long Ba’s proposal, a disdainful smile immediately appeared at the corner of Li Chen’s mouth.

"Ha! With you, you think you have the right to make me submit?"

Seeing Li Chen decisively refusing his offer, Long Ba immediately became furious.

"Li Chen, do you really believe that with your current early-stage Divinity Transformation, you can withstand me?"

Faced with Long Ba’s angry roar, Li Chen did not answer.

He knew that Long Ba had more to say.

As expected, Long Ba, seeing that Li Chen didn’t reply, continued speaking on his own: 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

"The reason you’re still alive is because I appreciate talent. Since you don’t cherish this opportunity and insist on courting death, I will fulfill your wish!"

In response to Long Ba’s endless talk, Li Chen had only two concise words:

"Noisy!"

Immediately after, Li Chen stood with his sword, the blade gleaming coldly as he pointed it remotely at Long Ba.

"Long Ba, if you want to fight, just fight. Why so much nonsense?"

Long Ba was completely enraged, letting out a furious howl to the sky before grasping the Overlord Divine Spear.

The tip of the spear shook violently, creating a whirlwind vortex that swept towards Li Chen.

Of course, Li Chen was not willing to show weakness, raising his sword to meet the attack.

"Clang!"

The spear tip and sword edge clashed in mid-air and quickly separated, sparks flying like a brilliant meteor shower.

"Li Chen, when it comes to True Yuan exhaustion, I can’t believe that with only your early-stage Divinity Transformation, you can outlast me!"

Long Ba’s eyes widened in rage, roaring hysterically.

"If you don’t try, how will you know I can’t surpass you?"

A confident and slightly sinister smile appeared on Li Chen’s lips.

Seeing this, Long Ba’s heart trembled violently.

He couldn’t understand how Li Chen, merely in the early-stage Divinity Transformation, could wield such monstrous combat power.

This doesn’t make sense!

However, he quickly realized where the crux of the problem lay.

Li Chen must have some Secret Treasure or Secret Technique, allowing him to continually siphon Spiritual Power from elsewhere to maintain his peak combat strength.

Fear comes from the unknown!

Long Ba could only make a vague guess, unable to fully comprehend Li Chen’s situation or know if he had other more heaven-defying cards.

And now, with two hours already passed and only half an hour remaining.

If he still couldn’t resolve Li Chen in half an hour, then the one likely to be defeated was himself.

Upon this realization, Long Ba weighed the pros and cons and decided to retreat first. Once he figured out what Li Chen had up his sleeve, he would engage in a life-and-death duel.

Having made up his mind, Long Ba wasted no time and feigned a strike, emitting countless beams of light to force Li Chen to retreat. Then, he swiftly retreated as well.

"Li Chen, I’m a bit hungry. I’ll come back and fight you after I eat!"

Upon hearing Long Ba’s somewhat ridiculous reason, even Li Chen was momentarily stunned.

It was like two schoolboys fighting, and one suddenly says, "My mom is calling me home for dinner, I’ll deal with you after I’m full."

Thinking of this, Li Chen inexplicably wanted to laugh, and he really wanted to ask:

Does your mom know you’re this funny?
