Chapter 1534: Chapter 1531: Slaying the Nine-headed Sea Emperor!

"Boom!"

The explosive sound thundered through the sky, and at once, a giant mushroom cloud ignited in outer space.

In the core area of the explosion, space completely collapsed, forming a black hole, as if the entire sky had been punched with a hole, an incredibly shocking scene.

No one knows how long it took before everything settled, and a figure crawled out from a hollow in the mountains.

This figure was Li Chen!

At this moment, Li Chen was in tattered clothes, his body covered with dirt and rubble, looking very disheveled.

Fortunately, during Long Hai’s self-destruction, the Jiuzhou Divine Tripod protected him from most of the defense.

Moreover, the self-destruction occurred in outer space, far from the Earth’s surface, plus the barrier constructed by the Heavenly Dao Laws released by the Heavenly Mechanism Stone, the surface didn’t suffer much impact.

Li Chen patted the dust off his body, squinted slightly, and gazed up at the sky.

The collapsing black hole in the void hadn’t yet completely closed, still rotating at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The surrounding clouds and air seemed to be summoned, continuously flowing into it.

Seeing this, Li Chen was ready to seal off this black hole to prevent the Earth’s spiritual power from leaking out, causing ecological imbalance.

With this in mind, he took out the Heavenly Mechanism Stone, releasing the profound meaning of "Yu" he had comprehended, forming a forbidden space to seal the space rift.

This way, no one knows how long it took before the collapsing black hole in the void started to close up, like a wound healing.

After resolving all this, Li Chen let out a long sigh of relief.

In this battle, he accomplished a significant victory by slaying Long Hai, the Half-step Mahayana God Monarch.

The only regret was that Long Ao managed to escape.

It may not be long before enemies stronger than Long Hai and the black sword will descend upon Earth.

Thinking of this, Li Chen couldn’t help but frown.

However, it’s no use overthinking now.

Li Chen patted his head, pushing all these chaotic thoughts out of his mind, banishing them to the highest heavens.

Then, he composed himself, confirmed the direction of the sea, and headed straight for the ocean.

He wanted to check how Taotie and Red Tiger were doing and whether they had captured the Nine-headed Sea Emperor.

In the Abyss Sea Trench, Taotie and Red Tiger were engaged in a life-and-death battle with the Nine-headed Sea Emperor.

In any other place, one-on-one, Taotie could have taken down the Nine-headed Sea Emperor.

Unfortunately, this was the Nine-headed Sea Emperor’s secret lair, where he held a significant geographical advantage.

Therefore, after a fierce battle, not only did Taotie and Red Tiger fail to capture the Nine-headed Sea Emperor, but they were also trapped by the formation of the Sea Emperor’s stone monster array, unable to escape in a short time.

The Nine-headed Sea Emperor, pleased that his scheme had succeeded, couldn’t help but feel a sense of glee.

If he could devour both Taotie and Red Tiger, these two ancient great evils, his combat power would rise to a higher level.

By then, facing Li Chen again, he might not be without the power to fight!

Thinking of the delight, all nine of the Nine-headed Sea Emperor’s heads started to laugh heartily.

However, just at his most triumphant moment, a lightning-fast Sword Light suddenly slashed out of the void.

The Nine-headed Sea Emperor was greatly shocked and immediately raised sheet upon sheet of water curtain to block.

The Sword Shadow, riding the wind and breaking the waves, pierced through the water curtains in just an instant.

"Crack!"

In the flash of lightning and spark of fire, with a swift motion, a head was severed!

One of the Nine-headed Sea Emperor’s blood-drenched heads was chopped off by Li Chen.

In an instant, blood gushed forth like a fountain!

The remaining eight heads of the Nine-headed Sea Emperor contracted violently, full of shock and fear.

He never imagined that Li Chen would return so quickly!

With this realization, there was only one thought in his mind.

Escape!

It must be said, as the overlord of the sea, the Nine-headed Sea Emperor not only had formidable power but his ability to escape was also first-rate.

Without any hesitation, he gathered a whirlwind, raised thick water curtains, and fled into the distance.

Li Chen did not pursue directly but waved his Seven-star Dragon Abyss, breaking open the stone monster array that trapped Taotie and Red Tiger with a single strike.

Seeing Li Chen, both Taotie and Red Tiger felt a bit ashamed.

Afterward, they vented all their rage on the Nine-headed Sea Emperor and chased after him furiously.

The Nine-headed Sea Emperor, having lost a head to Li Chen, was significantly slowed down and was soon caught by Taotie and Red Tiger.

This time, Taotie and Red Tiger wasted no words, launching into a frenzy of biting.

In just a few rounds of confrontation, the Nine-headed Sea Emperor was no match for the combined assault of Taotie and Red Tiger and was thoroughly defeated.

Taotie bit off four of his heads, while Red Tiger, a bit slower, managed to bite off three more.

Now, there was only one head left!

If this last head was also bitten off and devoured, the Nine-headed Sea Emperor would be utterly annihilated.

This was the first time the Nine-headed Sea Emperor had felt the fear of death so closely!

He couldn’t bother with the so-called dignity of the overlord and immediately prostrated himself, begging Li Chen for his life.

"Master Li, I was wrong. Please give me another chance. I am willing to swear loyalty to the death, never to betray you!"

Li Chen looked at the Nine-headed Sea Emperor’s terrified expression, a cold glint flashing in his pupils.

"Nine-Headed Beast, I already gave you a chance to live last time. It’s not my fault you didn’t cherish it!"

As these words full of killing intent were spoken, the Seven-star Dragon Abyss in Li Chen’s hand suddenly roared out.

"Ah, no!"

The Nine-headed Sea Emperor’s eyes nearly popped out as he watched the domineering Sword Shadow slice off his last head as well.

"Puff!"

As blood spurted, the decapitated Nine-headed Sea Emperor turned into a headless sea ghost, his enormous body collapsing like a heap of sludge into the pool of blood.

Seeing such delicious prey, Taotie’s gluttonous nature indisputably showed as he pounced to devour the Nine-headed Sea Emperor’s remains completely.

Thus, from the days of the Yu Emperor Era, the Nine-headed Sea Emperor, who had been causing havoc in the oceans, finally met his doom and returned to dust.

After slaying the Nine-headed Sea Emperor, Li Chen did not immediately return to Heavenly Pool Mountain.

Instead, he took the two super henchmen, Taotie and Red Tiger, and began patrolling the oceans.

Along the way, all the major oceanic forces surrendered at the mere sight of him.

Anyone who dared resist was offered to Taotie and Red Tiger’s "temple of five viscera."

In just half a month, Li Chen traversed hundreds of thousands of miles across the oceans, sweeping through and eliminating all resistant forces in the Atlantic, Pacific, Indian Ocean, and North Pole.

This quelled and completely silenced the oceanic threat that had plagued Earth for a full ten years.

Hearing the news that the seas were pacified, humans were indescribably excited, celebrating for a whole month as if it were a grand festival.

Thus, Li Chen’s prestige reached unprecedented heights.

He surpassed God, becoming the supreme deity on Earth!
