Rebirth of the Supreme Immortal Emperor

A woman of peerless beauty collapsed in Li Chen’s arms, wrapping her snake-like arms around his neck.

Her face was full of smiles, yet those snake-like arms only tightened.

Yanyu, witnessing this, felt her heart leap to her throat, just as she was about to warn Li Chen.

Suddenly, a mutation occurred!

The expression of the peerless beauty that was full of smiles froze in an instant.

She struggled to lower her head, only to see a dagger piercing straight into her abdomen.

Blood gushed along the icy blade of the dagger, producing a crisp sizzling sound.

Soon, amidst unspeakable horror, her entire body gradually became illusory, transforming into starlight and completely fading away.

The other three peerless beauties met the same fate.

When Li Chen struck, he was completely devoid of any tender sentiments for the fairer sex. Even Yanyu was so terrified that she covered her mouth with her hands, unable to utter a complete sentence for a long time.

Just as the doors of the Fourth Layer Palace rumbled open, Li Chen glanced back at the dumbfounded Yanyu and said coldly, "What are you standing there for? Move!"

With that, he ignored Yanyu and walked straight ahead.

Upon seeing this, Yanyu quickly responded and chased after him.

Soon, the fifth stage came into view for Li Chen and Yanyu.

On the path to the next palace entrance, there lay a slender curved knife and a giant axe.

Both the knife and the axe gleamed brightly.

They swung in unison, one from left to right, the other from right to left.

"What are these things?"

Yanyu widened her eyes in surprise and asked.

Before Li Chen could reply, a commotion suddenly arose.

Then, a flood of creatures surged forward like a tide from behind.

Upon seeing the curved knife and giant axe, they all abruptly stopped. Their eyes widened as they stared unblinkingly at the swinging shadows of the knife and axe.

After a long time, a burly man stepped forward, wielding a war axe that glinted coldly.

Stopping ten paces in front of the knife and axe, he mustered all his strength, swinging his axe heavily with a loud chop.

"Dang clang!"

The fierce sound of the axe striking was like a copper bell spreading out in all directions like ripples.

For a moment, the place was filled with knife lights and scattered sparks.

As the light blinded everyone’s eyes, all they heard was a heartrending scream.

Soon after, the burly man’s head seemed to be shattered like a walnut, blood splattered and brains burst, his entire body collapsing heavily to the ground like a pile of mud.

On seeing such a tragic death, everyone present gasped collectively. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

In the midst of the eerie silence, a sharp, thin voice suddenly echoed.

"In the world of martial arts, nothing is unbreakable, only speed is invincible!"

Turning to see, a thin, lanky man like a scarecrow, known as Rabbit Brother, kept scratching the ground backwards with his legs.

"Swish!"

After scratching the ground three times, he rushed forward like a bolt of lightning.

However, before everyone could catch his shadow, another even more piercing scream resounded throughout the palace.

Turning to see Rabbit Brother’s head decapitated by the curved knife.

The blood on the curved knife dripped down along the blade onto Rabbit Brother’s headless body.

His head had already rolled to another place.

His eyes were wide open in disbelief, clearly not at peace even in death.

"Hiss!"

Witnessing Rabbit Brother’s tragic sight, the hall fell silent once more.

However, soon a third, a fourth, a fifth...

They each tried to cross the obstacle with various divine skills and strange methods, like Eight Immortals crossing the sea.

Yet the result was always the same; they died horribly.

In no time, corpses lay scattered all over the ground.

Most of them had their eyes wide open, clearly showing their unwillingness to die, making the scene resemble a human purgatory, sending chills down one’s spine.

Upon witnessing such horror, even the brave Yanyu couldn’t help but shudder in fear, unable to speak for a long time.

Li Chen’s expression also turned more solemn.

With sharp eyes, he used the Insight Technique to peer through the blade shadows, seeking a secret technique to break it.

The information returned by his Divine Sense indicated that the rhythm of the swinging blades was entirely the same but opposite in direction, creating a tight vacuum.

Meaning that anyone who tried to pass using conventional methods was destined to fail and fall to their death.

Those who appeared before were likely the prior challengers who failed.

Despite dying long ago, their obsession remained, causing them to repeat their final challenge scene over and over.

This means that attempting the challenge in the same space-time is basically a guaranteed death sentence!

Thinking of this, a smile suddenly appeared on Li Chen’s lips.

Then, he strode forward.

Seeing this, Yanyu hurriedly shouted, "What are you doing?"

Before her words had landed, the axe and knife simultaneously passed through Li Chen’s body.

Seeing this, Yanyu was frozen in place.

However, before she could react, the axe and knife passed by again.

Li Chen, although seemingly "dismembered," remained unharmed!

Looking at such an incredible scene, Yanyu was dumbfounded, completely unable to comprehend what was happening.

As she bemusedly wondered, Li Chen walked over unhurriedly.

Before Yanyu could respond, Li Chen calmly said, "Let’s go."

Yanyu looked at the swinging knife and axe, recalling the ground full of corpses, and felt frightened, unable to move forward.

Seeing Yanyu’s concern, Li Chen smiled casually.

"Don’t worry, nothing will happen!"

Listening to Li Chen, Yanyu’s anxious heart slowly calmed down.

Blinking her lively eyes, she didn’t respond but nodded solemnly.

Li Chen gently took Yanyu’s bonelessly soft hand, advising, "Stay close to me. No matter what you see, don’t move or scream. If you feel scared, you can choose to close your eyes, understand?"

Hearing Li Chen’s advice, Yanyu nodded firmly like a chicken pecking at rice.

"Mm, I’ve got it!"
