Rebirth of the Supreme Immortal Emperor-Chapter 1018 - 1015: Stalemate!

Baru was entirely focused on avenging his brothers, and he never expected that Li Chen, who was engaged in a life-and-death battle with Heng Mountain Ancestor, would suddenly charge at him.

So when Li Chen’s sword came slashing down, he was unprepared and had to hastily raise his silver hook to meet the attack.

"Clang!"

This strike, like a comet striking the moon, instantly created a Heavenly Pit with sparks flying everywhere.

"Thump thump thump!"

Baru was unable to resist, retreating continuously in defeat.

However, Li Chen did not take the opportunity to pursue further, but instead quickly helped Ximen Qingxue up.

"Qingxue, are you okay?"

Ximen Qingxue struggled to open her eyes. Seeing that it was Li Chen, a relieved smile immediately appeared on her lips.

Then, her lips parted slightly, seemingly wanting to say, "I tried my best," but due to her excessive weakness, she only moved her lips without making a sound.

"Qingxue, just stay put, everything will be fine!"

After saying that, Li Chen gently pecked Ximen Qingxue’s fair forehead.

"Boom!"

At this moment, a muffled thunder exploded among the rolling clouds, causing the surrounding void to tremble instantly.

Immediately after, the Qingzhou Tripod crashed to the ground like a meteor burned up in re-entry.

Heng Mountain Ancestor harnessed the power of the destroyed tripod, with an imposing force, quickly advancing.

Seeing the murderer of his brothers still engaging in intimate acts, Baru was filled with rage.

Sha Moke, who had one eye blinded by the Lightning Weasel, was also furious beyond measure.

The three masterful fighters, centered around Heng Mountain Ancestor, formed a new encirclement against Li Chen and Ximen Qingxue.

Heng Mountain Ancestor emitted a creepy chuckle, saying sinisterly, "Heh heh, Immortal Master Li, despite your incredible talent, you are still too young. Considering the difficulty of your cultivation, as long as you hand over the two Yu Emperor’s Treasure Cauldrons and the Soul Summoning Grass, I might consider sparing your life."

Li Chen chuckled coldly and replied, "Heng Mountain Old Monster, if you retreat now, I can also consider sparing your life!"

Seeing Li Chen making arrogant remarks even in peril, Heng Mountain Ancestor was both angry and embarrassed.

But even so, Heng Mountain Ancestor restrained his inner rage. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮

After all, Li Chen was exceptionally talented. And until now, he still had a Youzhou Tripod in his hand, which made Heng Mountain Ancestor somewhat apprehensive.

If pressed too hard, and Li Chen fought like a trapped beast, willing to go down with him to the end.

By that time, even if Heng Mountain Ancestor managed to kill Li Chen, it would undoubtedly be a costly victory, harming himself significantly in the process.

Suffering severe injuries in the perilous area by the River of Oblivion was not a joking matter, and could mean offering himself as a wedding dress for others.

Moreover, among these individuals, there was the treasured Little Demon Immortal of the Demon Emperor Potian.

If she were harmed, provoking the Demon Emperor and possibly the entire Demon Clan’s wrathful revenge was a consequence he couldn’t afford.

Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, he honestly didn’t want to harm the Little Demon Immortal.

"Immortal Master Li, I know you are a young hero, indomitable and fearless. But if not for yourself, you should consider these exceptionally beautiful women around you. Their beauty is fleeting; if they perish in their prime, wouldn’t it be a pity?"

"How about this, I won’t pressure you. I’ll give you a quarter-hour to think it over properly!"

A quarter-hour, namely fifteen minutes.

Now seeing that he had the upper hand, Heng Mountain Ancestor didn’t continue to press aggressively, but planned to take things slowly, to prevent Li Chen from acting rashly.

Moreover, he believed that in merely a quarter-hour, no matter how remarkable Li Chen was, he couldn’t upend everything!

This proposal from Heng Mountain Ancestor was exactly what Li Chen wanted.

What he needed was time.

However, the Black Demon King had just reached the Black Bamboo Forest, eight hundred miles away. At his speed, it would take at least an hour to arrive.

Thus, with only a quarter-hour, Li Chen naturally couldn’t rely on him.

Li Chen pondered for a moment and responded, "Very well, I’ll think it over then!"

After speaking, he sat cross-legged, appearing to be deep in thought.

Seeing Li Chen agree, Heng Mountain Ancestor summoned back the Bloodthirsty Monk and Baili Xiang.

The Little Demon Immortal and Lian Hongshang exchanged glances and quickly moved closer to Li Chen and Ximen Qingxue.

"Li Chen!"

The Little Demon Immortal worried that Li Chen would indeed hand over the Soul Summoning Grass to Heng Mountain Ancestor, and quickly called out his name.

Li Chen knew what she wanted to say, so before she could speak, he waved his hand, signaling her to remain silent.

Lian Hongshang, although unsure of what Li Chen’s intentions were, understood the depth of his plans from experience and gently tugged on the Little Demon Immortal’s arm, offering comfort.

Time was ticking away, second by second!

One minute passed.

Two minutes passed.

...

Five minutes passed.

In the blink of an eye, a third of the time had already passed.

In truth, Li Chen was not idle either.

He was racing against time to communicate with Little Dragon, urging it to devour the Bone Dragon quickly.

Inside the Youzhou Tripod, the battle between Little Dragon and Bone Dragon had reached a critical, knife-edge stage.

Little Dragon wanted to devour the Bone Dragon to increase its power.

While the Bone Dragon aimed to seize Little Dragon’s body and resurrect its soul.

The two sides were fiercely battling in the Youzhou Tripod in a relentless fight to the death.

Li Chen saw that if the struggle continued like this, even if it lasted three days and nights, they might not determine a victor.

And now, two-thirds of the time had already passed!

Only five minutes remained!

Li Chen was not worried about his own safety; even if the Demon Emperor himself came, he couldn’t stop him from leaving.

However, if he wanted to leave with the Little Demon Immortal, Ximen Qingxue, and Lian Hongshang at the same time, the difficulty would rise exponentially.

Especially now, with Ximen Qingxue severely injured and unconscious, and the Little Demon Immortal already spent. The only one with some remaining combat power was Lian Hongshang.

Realizing this, Li Chen immediately communicated with the Dragon Soul of the Seven-star Dragon Abyss, asking it to help Little Dragon.

Initially, Little Dragon was already gaining the upper hand over the Bone Dragon but couldn’t secure victory in a short time.

Now, with the assistance of the Seven-star Dragon Soul, the victory was assured, and they began to devour the Bone Dragon.

Nigh simultaneously, a message came from the Dragon Soul, stating that if Jiao Long wished to devour the Bone Dragon completely, it needed an hour.

Otherwise, there was a risk of backlash!

But now, less than three minutes remained for Li Chen.

At this moment:

Heng Mountain Ancestor’s sinister eyes were locked on Li Chen, and he asked in a deep voice:

"Li Chen, the quarter-hour is almost up; how have you decided?"

His voice was somewhat hoarse and very dull, but it carried an unmistakable excitement.

Clearly, he was determined to obtain the two Yu Emperor’s Treasure Cauldrons and the Soul Summoning Grass!
