Rebirth of the Supreme Immortal Emperor-Chapter 1319 - 1316: Death Lake

Hearing Li Chen’s words, Shen Mengxi couldn’t help but sharply be startled.

"What did you say, this entire lake is made up of piles of bones?"

Li Chen nodded and responded, "If you don’t believe it, take a closer look. Don’t the splashes above look like bone powder?"

Upon hearing the words "bone powder," even the Goddess Shen Mengxi of Divine Sword Mountain couldn’t help but be greatly shocked.

How much bone powder from countless deaths would it take to create such an immense lake?

At this moment, in the center of the lake, a lotus platform emerged, with a bead the size of a baby’s fist sparkling brightly.

It was unmistakably no ordinary item!

Li Chen saw the Spiritual Pearl, and Shen Mengxi saw it too.

However, neither of them went to take it.

Shen Mengxi looked at Li Chen, somewhat surprised, and asked, "That bead is a treasure. Aren’t you tempted?"

Li Chen replied, "Tempted!"

Shen Mengxi asked, "Then why don’t you take it?"

Li Chen: "Because I don’t want to die yet!"

Shen Mengxi was surprised: "You mean whoever takes that bead will die?"

Li Chen nodded, responding, "Yes!"

After saying that, he leisurely pointed to the waves shimmering with white light in the lake.

"Among these people, there must be Divinity Transformation True Monarchs, but unfortunately, they don’t understand this truth!"

Shen Mengxi followed his lead and said, "So, they all perished here, right?"

Li Chen smiled slightly and praised, "You’re very smart!"

After speaking, his expression subtly changed, and he instinctively looked back.

Shen Mengxi was shocked and hurriedly asked, "What’s wrong, have you discovered something new?"

Li Chen paused for a moment and replied, "Nothing, just a few people arrived!"

Shen Mengxi became alert and quickly released her consciousness to detect.

"Three people came?"

Li Chen shook his head and said, "Four, two early-stage Divinity Transformation, one middle stage, and one late-stage!"

"However, they’re not together. They’re likely two groups!"

Hearing Li Chen’s words, Shen Mengxi was greatly shocked.

She is the Goddess of Sword God Mountain, though her cultivation is only at the early-stage Divinity Transformation, her combat power is not inferior to the middle stage. Even facing the late stage, she has the power to fight.

She ranks second on the Hidden Dragon List, only slightly weaker than the Holy Son Jackal of Greedy Wolf Hall.

Yet even so, she could only sense the presence of three people.

As for their cultivation level, she was unaware.

And this mysterious man before her could detect the presence of four people and reveal their true cultivation one by one.

This was simply unbelievable!

Even the Hidden Dragon List’s top rank, the Holy Son Jackal of Greedy Wolf Hall, probably couldn’t compare!

As Shen Mengxi’s thoughts were racing, Li Chen spoke, "Let’s hide first and see what they intend to do."

Shen Mengxi looked at him and solemnly nodded.

"Alright!"

Immediately, they turned into a light shadow and hid on the spot.

In just a moment, three people arrived.

Shen Mengxi recognized their identities and whispered, "They seem to be from King Palace!"

Li Chen wasn’t interested in their identity.

He was interested in the reason these people came to this mysterious Underworld.

Are they here for the Heavenly Mechanism Stone, like him?

Or do they have other secrets?

"Senior brother, look quickly, there’s a treasure in the middle of the lake!"

Two disciples of King Palace saw the treasure on the lotus platform in the center and immediately expressed uncontrollable excitement.

The leading King Palace disciple also showed a pleased expression.

However, he was much more cautious compared to the two ahead.

"Du Zhong, Du Yi, you two brothers go and take the treasure. Remember, this place is strange, be extremely careful!"

The two King Palace disciples, named Du Zhong and Du Yi, nodded repeatedly.

They then went with excited hearts towards the lake center to retrieve the Spiritual Pearl on the lotus platform.

But just as they were about to take the Spiritual Pearl, the lake that had been calm suddenly burst into turbulent waves.

Soon, countless tentacles broke the water’s surface and stretched out.

The two King Palace disciples hadn’t even reacted before being dragged inside.

The moment their flesh met the "lake water," it was like metal meeting King’s Water, immediately being devoured clean, leaving only bare bones.

This terrifying scene was shocking, leaving a lingering fear!

However, due to the wave’s movement, the Spiritual Pearl on the lotus platform was blown to the shore.

The King Palace disciple standing by the shore was overjoyed upon seeing this and immediately went to take it.

However, before he had warmed the Spiritual Pearl, an ice-cold voice akin to Death God suddenly came from behind.

"Hand over the Spiritual Pearl, and I can spare your life!"

Upon hearing this voice, the expression of the King Palace disciple immediately froze on his face.

He turned back sharply to see who it was, recognizing the person as Chen Hu, an elder of Windcloud Tower!

"Elder Chen, our King Palace and your Windcloud Tower have never interfered with each other. Are you trying to incite an eternal feud between our two factions?"

Chen Hu sneered coldly, saying, "This place is isolated from the world, and no one else is here. If I do things cleanly, who will know I did it?"

Upon hearing Chen Hu’s words, the King Palace disciple’s heart sharply trembled.

It’s undeniable that what he said was true.

This place is isolated, with no witnesses, and even if he dies here, no one will know.

Thinking of this, a deep sense of desolate helplessness surged in his heart.

However, yielding to fate was not an option.

"Elder Chen, you can kill me, but don’t think you can get this treasure!"

As he spoke, he made a move to throw the Spiritual Pearl into the Death Lake in front of him.

Chen Hu was greatly alarmed, having seen clearly how the two King Palace disciples died horribly.

Moreover, in this place, it’s extremely strange as spiritual power cannot be used.

Otherwise, it would attract many creatures that feed on spiritual power, making life worse than death.

Thinking of this, Chen Hu spoke, "How about this, if you obediently hand over the Spiritual Pearl to me, I promise not to kill you and will give you a top-grade spiritual artifact as compensation. How do you like it?"

Upon hearing Chen Hu’s words, the King Palace disciple’s heart suddenly rejoiced.

Although he believed the Spiritual Pearl in his hand must be worth more than a top-grade spiritual artifact, possibly even comparable to an Immortal Artifact.

But in the current situation, it was fortunate just to preserve his life.

Moreover, receiving a top-grade spiritual artifact for free wouldn’t be considered a loss.

Considering this gain and loss, he solemnly nodded.

"Alright, deal. What kind of top-grade spiritual artifact will you exchange?"

Chen Hu took out a silver short sword and said, "This is the Silver Spirit Sword, are you satisfied?"

The King Palace disciple stared at the Silver Spirit Sword for a while, his eyes filled with a passionate, greedy glow.

"Alright, throw it over!"

Chen Hu nodded and tossed the Silver Spirit Sword over.

But just as he reached out to catch it, the Silver Spirit Sword suddenly flashed coldly.

Like a snake with a bloody maw full of fangs, it fiercely bit onto the King Palace disciple’s throat Life Gate...
