Rebirth of the Supreme Immortal Emperor

Li Chen dashed insanely, leaping over towering peaks that were a thousand zhang tall, rushing towards Dragon River with utmost speed.

Dragon River, one of the ten greatest forbidden zones in the Cultivation Realm. With hidden currents and home to numerous fierce and powerful Demon Beasts, it is where not even a feather can float, and birds struggle to fly over, said to be "As unreachable as Penglai, spanning thirty thousand li of Ruishui."

Even for Golden Core Cultivators, crossing the Dragon River is fraught with immense difficulties. A slight mishap could lead to immediate demise.

Thus, the Dragon River naturally serves as a boundary between the Barbarians and the Human Clan.

Seeing the Dragon River ahead, Li Chen was momentarily dumbfounded.

As he searched for a method to swiftly cross the river, Yue Suzhen and others had already caught up.

"Li Chen, you scoundrel, where will you run to this time?"

"Kill him, to quell the hatred in my heart!"

Cao Rong, with a severed arm and fierce eyes, wished he could tear Li Chen apart alive.

Seeing the experts of Cloud Sea Sect encircling him, Li Chen's brow furrowed slightly. His palm quickly slid across the Jian Feng, the fresh blood gushing out nourishing the Dragon Soul and activating the Three Thousand Sword Formation.

"Formation, activate!"

"Roar!"

Following Li Chen's command, the Dragon Soul soared into the sky, with Three Thousand Magic Swords sweeping through like an Eagle Strike the Sky, forming a large Sword Array.

"Is this a Sword Spirit?"

Yue Suzhen showed an expression of shock, followed quickly by a glint of delight in her eyes.

Other cultivators were also greatly astonished, their eyes wide with greedy fervor.

A Sword Spirit, being the spirit of ten thousand swords and capable of maneuvering the Sword Array, is a rare and invaluable Magical Treasure in the world.

"Kill him, and seize the Sword Spirit!"

Yue Suzhen waved her hand, issuing the command.

She was directly in front of Li Chen, while Cao Rong and eight Golden Core Experts split into two groups, attacking from the left and right.

Behind Li Chen was the perilous Dragon River, where not even a feather could float, and hidden currents surged fiercely.

Seeing them attack from three directions simultaneously, Li Chen prompted the Three Thousand Sword Formation to wave upwards spectacularly like a mighty tidal wave.

Yue Suzhen threw out a yellow talisman, slapping it down hard.

"Wind Stabilizing Talisman!"

A wind-based Magical Treasure, capable of instantly calming fierce winds and waves.

Seeing the Sword Intent rising from the Sword Array suppressed hard by the opponent's talisman, Li Chen's heart skipped a beat.

Including Yue Suzhen, the nine Golden Core Experts almost simultaneously launched their attack.

Wind Blade, lightning, Magic Swords, light orbs, talismans, and even poisons, a chaotic mess of Magical Treasures, bombarded Li Chen all at once.

"Dragon Soul, hold on!"

Seeing the situation was a matter of life and death, Li Chen immediately communicated with Dragon Soul, letting it take control of the Sword Array, while he himself circulated True Yuan, ready to use his last resort—Nine Heavens Star Technique.

Inside the Sea of Consciousness, the Meteorite Heart, previously dormant, was forcibly awakened by him. It formed a mysterious and strange black vortex, shooting upwards aggressively.

This black vortex, like a celestial dog devouring the moon, actually swallowed the sun whole.

In an instant, the previously bright daylight turned into pitch-black night where one couldn't see their hand in front of them.

Seeing such a terrifying secret technique on Li Chen, Yue Suzhen and others were utterly astounded.

"Not good, this lad possesses an Evil Technique, stop him quickly!"

Yue Suzhen urgently shouted and unleashed a Spirit Sword, entwined with lightning, slashing fiercely towards the Sword Array with the force of thunderbolts.

Cao Rong and other seven Golden Core Experts also realized the gravity of the situation and consecutively brought out their most powerful Magical Treasures. It was indeed a case of 'the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, each displaying their divine abilities'.

The external defense of the Three Thousand Sword Formation was instantly destroyed by the nine Golden Core Experts with overwhelming force. The internal defensive line was also teetering, wavering dangerously.

The Dragon Soul coiled above the Seven-star Dragon Abyss, opening its vast maw to emit a soul-stirring dragon roar, attempting to block the fierce assault from Yue Suzhen and others, buying Li Chen enough time to execute his moves.

Regrettably, its soul was too weak and couldn't withstand such a fierce attack.

After enduring another ferocious strike from Yue Suzhen, it couldn't hold on anymore and turned into a streak of light, retreating into the blade of the Seven-star Dragon Abyss.

With the loss of the Dragon Soul controlling the Formation Eye, the Three Thousand Sword Formation collapsed like an avalanche, uncontrollably.

Yue Suzhen, Cao Rong, and others, seeing that the Sword Array had been broken, were overjoyed.

However, in the next moment, the joy on their faces completely froze.

Li Chen, his hair tousled wildly, suddenly opened his eyes, shooting out two long rainbows of flame.

"Burning Sky!"

A Golden Core Expert at the forefront, shocked to the core, couldn't even manage to defend himself and was instantly pierced by the flames. His clothes, flesh, tendons, bones, and even his heart and Dantian were all incinerated in an instant.

Then came the second one!

The third one!

The fourth one!

...

In an instant, an area of dozens of miles was engulfed in flames, turning it completely into a human purgatory.

Yue Suzhen clasped her hands together and activated her strongest Magical Treasure.

It was an Ice Worm Silk Armor, woven from the silk spun by the Thousand-year-old Ice Silkworm King atop the Snow Mountain Peak. Given its grade, it could be considered a top-grade spiritual artifact, with exceptionally strong defensive power, and it actually managed to block it.

When the dust settled, Li Chen was completely drained of all True Yuan in his body, lying in a state of collapse.

On the side of the Cloud Sea Sect, apart from Yue Suzhen, the rest were basically incinerated by the flames. The pungent smell of burning corpses pervaded the air, causing nausea.

Yue Suzhen's gaze was icy cold, pressing forward step by step!

Li Chen supported himself and retreated step by step.

Until he reached the edge of the cliff, with no path left to retreat.

Yue Suzhen's gaze fixed firmly on Li Chen, she chillingly said: "Li Chen, I had underestimated your capabilities, I never expected you to have such skills!"

Li Chen didn't respond but silently opened all the pores on his body, trying to absorb the surrounding Spiritual Power to replenish his True Yuan.

Yue Suzhen stretched out her hand and ferociously shouted: "Hand over the Sword Spirit, and I can grant you a swift end!"

Li Chen's eyes shifted and he lifted up the Seven-star Dragon Abyss in his hand, solemnly asking, "You want this?"

Seeing the Seven-star Dragon Abyss, a greedy blaze immediately appeared in Yue Suzhen's pupils.

Seizing the opportunity!

Li Chen swiftly drew his sword from the sheath, harnessing the speed enhanced by the Unrivaled Immortal Shoes, and thrust forward through the air.

His sword struck Yue Suzhen.

However, it was blocked by the small top-grade spiritual artifact, the Ice Worm Silk Armor, on her body.

Li Chen, with depleted True Yuan, couldn't penetrate any further.

Yue Suzhen looked at the shining cold Jian Feng and sneered coldly: "Humph, Li Chen, even if you have monstrous talent and a heaven-defying cultivation technique, you're still just a Foundation Establishment Loose Cultivator. Today, I will make you neither able to live nor die!"
