Rebirth of the Supreme Immortal Emperor

"I've long heard that the old Ancestor is a solitary Loose Cultivator. When did you get a master?"

Dai Song, unwilling to let fate slip by, spoke up and asked.

The Fire Cloud Ancestor truly didn't know how to answer this question on the spot.

He couldn't possibly say that he was defeated by a Foundation Establishment Cultivator not long ago, and had taken him as his master, right?

If he said that, wouldn't it be laughable? Besides, even if he told the truth, who would believe such an absurd story?

Dai Song and Xu Yang both saw Fire Cloud Ancestor hesitate, and they already understood that he must be hiding something.

"Junior brother, hold him off. I'll go check out the mountaintop!"

Xu Yang nodded slightly and said, "Okay, senior brother, be careful!"

The Fire Cloud Ancestor saw that the two wanted to force their way through and wielded his flame blade to meet them head-on.

"Today, let me, Xu Yang, have a proper encounter with you, Fire Cloud Ancestor!"

Xu Yang wielded his sword to meet him, entangling in combat with Fire Cloud Ancestor.

Meanwhile, Dai Song took this opportunity to head straight for the mountaintop.

Atop the mountain:

At this moment, Li Chen was still using his own Essence Blood to forge the Mystic Iron Heavy Sword, and it was a critical moment.

Lian Hongshang and Jiao Long had already sensed the commotion at the foot of the mountain.

However, she only knew about the beast tide and was unaware of the specifics.

It could be an external enemy spying on them, or it could be that Fire Cloud Ancestor had ulterior motives.

Just as Lian Hongshang was highly tensed, a streak of light headed towards the mountaintop.

The coming person was none other than Dai Song!

"Halt there!"

Lian Hongshang brandished the Purple Shadow Immortal Sword and shouted fiercely.

"Roar!"

Jiao Long, not to be outdone, let out a series of intimidating roars.

Dai Song saw that Lian Hongshang was merely a Late-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator, and although the Jiao Long was troublesome, it was only a Fourth-level Early Stage Demon Beast; neither was a match for him.

"You are not my opponents, step aside quickly!"

"Swish!"

Lian Hongshang, with a cold expression, forcefully swung her sword, drawing a long line beneath Dai Song's feet.

"Those who cross the line, die!"

Upon hearing Lian Hongshang's words, Dai Song's expression involuntarily faltered.

"What a domineering girl, today I will cross the line and see how you can make me die?"

Before his words even finished, Dai Song abruptly stepped forward, directly stepping on the red line Lian Hongshang had drawn.

"Swish!"

Lian Hongshang's gaze turned icy, and she forcefully thrust her sword. The purple Sword Shadow flashed like lightning across the sky, too quick for the eyes to follow.

"Such a fast sword, but it's a pity you are still too weak to hurt me!"

Dai Song flicked casually, sending out a clap of thunderous noise, deflecting Lian Hongshang's Immortal Sword on the spot.

"Roar roar!"

A claw shot out from Jiao Long's belly, hurling a Thunder Light Ball directly at Dai Song.

Dai Song fiercely raised his palm, formed a Protective Gang Qi, and forcibly blocked the attack of Jiao Long.

Seeing its Thunder Claw attack ineffective, Jiao Long extended a second claw, gathering a Gang wind that swept across horizontally.

"Interesting, I didn't expect you, Demon Beast, to have awakened both thunder and wind Divine Skills!"

Dai Song's eyes slightly narrowed, as he casually threw a dark red bead, and directly tossed it over.

This was a controlling-type Magical Treasure, capable of stopping a hurricane in an instant, a natural nemesis to wind attribute Demon Beasts.

Jiao Long had only recently awakened its storm powers and couldn't release them at will yet. After just a brief encounter, Dai Song suppressed it outright with the Wind Stabilizing Pearl, rendering it unable to move.

"Purple Qi Comes from the East!"

Lian Hongshang's black hair fluttered in the wind as a cold light flashed at the tip of her sword, transforming into a purple phoenix soaring through the heavens and earth, slashing straight across.

"A top-grade divine weapon?"

Dai Song hadn't expected that a mere Foundation Establishment girl would possess a top-grade divine weapon, and his eyes instantly widened in shock.

However, being a Quasi-Nascent Soul expert, he had an absolute hierarchical oppression over Lian Hongshang.

"Sky Splitting Hand!"

This was one of the signature moves of the Dongji Sect and Dai Song's own claim to fame as well.

As soon as he launched this palm strike, it resembled a pair of demonic handprints tearing the void apart as if by sheer force, gathering the power to destroy heavens and earth, clashing with Lian Hongshang's Sword Shadow.

Lian Hongshang's Purple Shadow Immortal Sword, though a top-grade magical weapon with peerless swordsmanship, was ultimately only a tool of a Late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator. She simply couldn't break the defenses of a Nascent Soul Cultivator.

Being unable to breach the defense meant that in this battle, she was bound to be defeated without any chance of victory.

Dai Song burst into a shout, his palm expanding hundreds of times, resembling a towering mountain peak as he pressed down towards Lian Hongshang.

"Ptui!"

Lian Hongshang's body was sent flying on the spot, with a trace of blood trickling from the corner of her mouth.

Yet she forcibly focused her spirit and, propping herself up with the Purple Shadow Immortal Sword, slowly stood up again, entirely with an attitude of fighting to the death.

Seeing this, a hint of doubt flickered through the muddy eyes of Dai Song.

His earlier Sky-splitting Handprint strike, though not at full strength, still carried about eighty percent of his power. It could have killed a Golden Core expert on the spot, not to mention a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Yet, unexpectedly, this young girl before him was not only alive but also not grievously injured; she suffered only minor external wounds.

But when his gaze swept over Lian Hongshang's chest and saw the condensed ice crystals there, he suddenly realized.

This girl not only had an offensive top-grade magical treasure but also possessed a defensive one. Even the Holy Daughters of the Heavenly Level sects didn't receive such treatment, did they?

"Girl, who exactly are you, and how come you have so many top-grade magical treasures?"

Lian Hongshang didn't answer, merely wiping away the blood from her mouth with the back of her hand, her clear eyes filled with determination and defiance.

Seeing Lian Hongshang completely disregarding him, Dai Song's rage surged immediately. He glanced around and thought to himself:

This is a wild and desolate place; as long as I kill her and then eliminate everyone from the Fire Cloud Ancestor's group, no one will suspect me.

Thinking of how he could not only effortlessly receive a great fortune but also obtain two top-grade magical treasures, and considering how lovely the young girl was, to be able to toy with her, it was indeed a perfect opportunity to gain multiple benefits in one stroke.

With this thought in mind, Dai Song's squinted eyes filled with greedy luminescence.

"Such a stubborn girl, if you won't speak, then don't blame me for being ruthless!"

After speaking, Dai Song rubbed his hands together, preparing to destroy the beauty.

But at this critical juncture:

A dragon roar that pierced the heavens suddenly resounded, and then a Five-Colored Divine Dragon was seen, entwined with a dark Mystic Iron Heavy Sword, bursting out from the Treasure Tripod, soaring into the clouds.

Li Chen also abruptly opened his eyes, with a fiery light shooting from his pupils, burning up the azure sky.

"Sword completes!"

Before the words fell, the Mystic Iron Heavy Sword, like the Ocean Stabilizing Needle, thunderously descended, making the void tremble and opening deep, bottomless fissures.
