Rebirth of the Supreme Immortal Emperor

Chapter 1581 - 1578: Why Didn’t You Come Back Sooner?

Upon seeing this azure celestial body, some dinosaurs immediately recognized its origin and uttered cries of disbelief.

"It’s the Ancestor Star, it’s the Ancestor Star!"

The Ancestor Star referred to by the dinosaurs naturally meant Earth.

Although they had never seen the Ancestor Star, their forebears had preserved the features of Earth, hoping that future generations could return to the Ancestor Star to see the place of their Dinosaur Clan’s origin.

Upon seeing the Ancestor Star, which only appeared in ancient texts, the members of the Dinosaur Clan were inexplicably excited.

Long Jian was no exception!

He naturally assumed that this was because their clan leader, Lord Long Li, had succeeded. At this moment, he was using mighty magic to migrate the Ancestor Star to the current abode of the Dinosaur Clan, the Cretaceous Star Domain.

Thinking of this, Long Jian couldn’t help but feel a sense of pride and laughed out loud.

"Li Chen, you didn’t expect this, did you? Our clan leader has arrived. Haha, today, you all must die, must die!"

Upon hearing Long Jian’s arrogant laughter, Beihan Wu, Gu Qingcheng, and Shen Mengxi were all stunned on the spot.

If Long Jian was already so powerful, then wouldn’t their clan leader be the legendary Mahayana Divine Monarch?

Thinking of this, the hope that had just ignited was extinguished as if doused by a bucket of cold water.

Replacing it was an unprecedented despair!

The colossal celestial projection cast a shadow like the Death God’s, overshadowing each of their hearts.

The disciples of the Greedy Wolf Hall who had followed Hu Lang were also dumbfounded at this moment.

They had just defected, and now the situation had reversed again; it was so damn awkward.

Suddenly, everyone couldn’t help but look at each other in dismay.

Damn, isn’t this intentionally toying with people?

Even a fence-sitter can’t withstand such frequent flip-flopping; it’s truly heart-breaking!

Li Chen glanced at the floating Earth projection overhead and coldly asked, "If I told you that your clan leader, Lord Long Li, is already dead and vanished, would you believe it?"

Upon hearing Li Chen’s sudden question, Long Jian froze on the spot.

Then he roared hysterically, as if he had gone mad.

"You’re talking nonsense! My clan leader is a Mahayana Divine Monarch, undying and indestructible. How could he be dead and vanished?"

Li Chen sneered coldly and said indifferently, "Because he met me!"

Long Jian was initially taken aback, clearly not processing it right away.

Then he hurriedly asked tentatively, "Are you saying you killed my clan leader?"

Li Chen nodded with a smile, "It seems you’re not entirely stupid!"

Long Jian was stunned for a moment and then burst into loud laughter, as if he had heard an incredibly funny joke.

"Haha, Li Chen, are you kidding me? I admit your talent is monstrous, but just based on that, you think you could kill my godfather? That’s simply a fantasy!"

Seeing Long Jian’s disbelief, Li Chen helplessly shook his head.

"In that case, why don’t you go and ask him yourself!"

After speaking, Li Chen suddenly raised the Chi Dragon Divine Spear and, like lightning, stabbed at Long Jian with a shimmering galaxy.

Seeing this, Long Jian gritted his teeth, swung his hand like a knife, and severed one of his own arms, throwing it at Li Chen, hoping to disrupt his attack rhythm.

Then, without any hesitation, he used all his strength, flying towards the floating Earth.

At this moment, he was like a moth yearning for light. Even though he was seriously injured, his speed was not a bit slower than in his prime, perhaps even a bit faster.

As Li Chen watched Long Jian, who was desperately flying with a severed arm, he shook his head again, "Ah, like a moth to a flame, courting self-destruction!"

He didn’t pursue him, but instead, communicated telepathically with the Golden Crow on Earth, ordering it to intercept Long Jian.

Upon receiving Li Chen’s command, the Golden Crow immediately flapped its wings and dove down.

Seeing a mass of flames rushing towards him, Long Jian was dumbfounded.

His eyes widened, and he froze on the spot.

The Golden Crow ignored this and violently spewed out a mass of flames, enveloping Long Jian.

The desperate escape had exhausted all of Long Jian’s True Yuan.

At this moment, he was helpless to escape, forced to watch as the orange-red flames, like multiple Fire Dragons, wound towards him.

"Ah!"

A heartrending scream echoed through the sky.

Long Jian writhes in agony amidst the Fire Sea, twisting and turning madly.

The flames burned his flesh and bones, producing a continuous crackling explosion sound.

This scene happened so suddenly that everyone fell into a stupor once again.

They even felt their minds were a little overwhelmed, unable to comprehend the current situation at all.

With Long Jian slain, the five hundred thousand troops of the Dinosaur Clan were leaderless.

Moreover, they were terrified out of their wits and could no longer organize effective resistance, scattering in a rout.

Except for a fortunate few who fled into the vast forests, most of the others perished on the spot, turning into nothingness.

This battle could be described as a complete victory!

Instantly, the entire Greedy Wolf Continent erupted into tsunami-like cheers.

The Star Pavilion Disciples looked at Li Chen with eyes full of shock.

Especially Beihan Wu, Zhou Yan’er, Gu Qingcheng, and the others.

When they first met Li Chen, his combat power was only marginally stronger than theirs.

But now, there lay before them a chasm they would never be able to cross in their lifetime!

Seeing Beihan Wu, Gu Qingcheng, and the others unharmed, Li Chen finally relaxed.

But when he saw the blood-soaked Shen Mengxi, he couldn’t help but frown slightly.

"Are you alright?"

Upon hearing Li Chen’s concerned inquiry, Shen Mengxi’s clear and bright eyes immediately welled up with tears, unable to say a single word.

After a long time of sobbing, she finally managed to weakly say, "Why didn’t you come back sooner?"

Shen Mengxi’s questioning, though weak, sounded like a thunderbolt to everyone’s ears.

If Li Chen had returned sooner, their sect wouldn’t have been annihilated. Their masters, relatives, and friends wouldn’t have died.

Unfortunately, there is no "if".

In an instant, everyone was engulfed in the sorrow of losing their loved ones.

Li Chen wanted to say something in response, but he opened his mouth and realized that his words seemed too powerless to console these people who had lost their nearest and dearest.

Perhaps due to intense emotions, Shen Mengxi’s wounds split open, her vision darkened, and she fainted.

Li Chen quickly went forward, held her in his arms, first checked her breath to confirm she was still alive, then breathed a sigh of relief.

Afterward, he took out a pill and placed it in Shen Mengxi’s mouth.

Zhou Yan’er hurried forward, concerned, and asked, "Master, how is Miss Shen? Is she alright?"

Li Chen shook his head and said, "No worries, she just overexerted herself, she’s temporarily exhausted. Help her down to rest first!"

After saying this, Li Chen handed the unconscious Shen Mengxi to Zhou Yan’er.

Then, his gaze swept across the crowd, but he didn’t see any disciples from the Azure Sky Pavilion, causing him to frown and ask, "Why don’t I see any Azure Sky Pavilion disciples? Didn’t they come here?"

On hearing Li Chen’s inquiry, Beihan Wu and Gu Qingcheng exchanged glances, remaining silent for a long time!

Sensing this, a sense of foreboding immediately surged up in Li Chen’s heart.

"What’s going on?"
