Rebirth of the Supreme Immortal Emperor-Chapter 440 - 437: Advancing to the Demigod Realm! [Fourth Update]

Chapter 440: Chapter 437: Advancing to the Demigod Realm! [Fourth Update]

Upon hearing the report from his subordinate, Yuann Jinsan looked towards the mountains and then glanced at the nearby observatory.

Immediately, he gritted his teeth and made a decisive decision.

"Take action!"

However, at this moment, a sword shadow, like a hiding viper waiting for its prey, suddenly struck. It tore through the void and targeted Yuann Jinsan’s back at his Life Gate.

Yuann Jinsan realized the danger behind him and instinctively turned to block.

Regrettably, he was a moment too slow.

A chilly long sword pierced directly through his chest.

Yuann Jinsan’s eyes widened fiercely, and the spark of life in his pupils dispersed in an instant.

Immediately after, his throat sweetened, and he harshly coughed out a mouthful of fresh blood, then collapsed face up on the ground.

The other Yuann Family assassins, seeing their master confusingly slain, were all extremely shocked.

However, before they could recover, they only saw a dazzling sword shadow, like lightning serpents, slashing across the Life Gate at their throats.

"Puchi!"

"Puchi!"

"Puchi!"

...

In just a few breaths’ time, the ground was already littered with bodies.

The one ambushed here was none other than Mei Ruohua!

Her icy gaze swept over the corpses on the ground, and after confirming there were no survivors, a satisfied smile appeared on her face.

Just then, another figure emerged from the darkness.

He looked at Yuann Jinsan’s corpse and sincerely praised, "Ruohua, your sword speed is really as fast as lightning!"

The newcomer was Qin Feng, responsible for the outer area, to prevent any slip-ups and to handle unexpected situations.

Mei Ruohua shook her head and said, "That’s because you haven’t seen the young master wield his sword; that is truly like lightning. My speed is nothing compared to his!"

Qin Feng gave a sheepish smile and shook his head.

"He is a monster; we mere mortals can’t compare, truly can’t compare!"

A complex light flashed in Mei Ruohua’s eyes, as if she had more to say but hesitated.

Nevertheless, she bit her lip and decided not to say another word.

After a brief silence, she then asked, "There are no fish that slipped through the net outside, right?"

Qin Feng shrugged and replied, "None left, just a few insignificant minions responsible for the rendezvous were handled!"

Mei Ruohua pointed at the corpses on the ground and asked, "How should we deal with them?"

Qin Feng thought for a moment and said, "We kill but do not bury; let’s just package them up and send them to the Yuann Family, let them handle it themselves!"

Mei Ruohua nodded in agreement and said, "That sounds good; it will also sicken the Yuann Family, giving them a lesson they won’t forget!"

...

Seeing that Mei Ruohua and Qin Feng had perfectly completed the task he assigned, Li Chen’s lips curled into a crescent moon-like smile.

He withdrew his consciousness and looked up at the starry sky again. Midnight was approaching, and the meteor shower was about to arrive.

Now everything was ready, just waiting for the east wind!

Soon, the east wind arrived!

The first meteor, like a mischievous sprite, with a long tail, streaked across the night sky.

"You have finally arrived!"

Seeing this scene, excitement sparkled in Li Chen’s deep and bright eyes.

"Binding Spirit Formation, activate!"

"Activate!"

"Activate again!"

...

With every command "Activate!" spoken by Li Chen, the stars Tianshu, Tianxuan, Tianji, Tianquan, Yuheng, Kaiyang, and Shaking Light lit up in sequence, forming an invisible net, waiting to capture the meteor shower.

Just then, thousands of meteors, like raindrops, flashed rapidly.

Seeing this scene, Li Chen’s eyes sparkled with excitement.

"Come on, come into my bowl!"

At the same time, Anjin and Wang Rui, upon seeing the meteor shower, also shouted excitedly.

"Wow, such a beautiful meteor shower!"

"Quick, close your eyes and make a wish; I heard wishing upon a meteor shower is very effective!"

Someone shouted, and all the boys and girls closed their eyes and put their hands together to make wishes.

Just then, a fat man weighing more than 180 kilograms shouted excitedly.

"I hope the heavens grant me a girlfriend, with just three requirements: Big wavy hair!"

However, before he could finish speaking, the meteors were all scared away and turned around to flee.

Seeing this incomprehensible scene, all the students present looked at the fat man with astonishment.

The fat man’s face streamed with tears, as he felt the brutal impact from the meteor shower.

If you won’t grant wishes, then don’t, but why did you turn away all of a sudden? What does it mean?

Whimpering, it looks like I’ll be living a solitary life forever!

At the observatory, Lu Yaoyao, seeing this bizarre astronomical phenomenon, was in utter disbelief.

Being from a physics and astronomy background, she naturally did not believe that it was the fat man’s wish that scared away the meteors.

However, she couldn’t explain this strange phenomenon with her knowledge in physics.

It seemed as if the meteors were attracted by something similar to a magnetic field, which caused them to change direction.

Lan Huanxi was also witnessing this scene for the first time, her cherry lips forming an "O" shape.

Ye Chuxue seemed undisturbed, as if she had guessed something. Her clear, water-like eyes were filled with joyful ripples.

Lan Huanxi pointed at the vanished meteor shower in the night sky and asked, "Sister Chuxue, why did the meteor shower suddenly run away?"

Ye Chuxue smiled and said, "It’s a supernatural phenomenon, I don’t know what’s going on either."

"By the way, Huanxi, do you play chess? Since there are no more meteors to watch, let’s play chess!"

Lan Huanxi said softly, "I only know how to play Connect Five, I don’t know the other games!"

"Connect Five is fine too!"

Saying this, Ye Chuxue pulled Lan Huanxi to sit down and they began to play Connect Five.

At this moment, in the valley, Li Chen was devouring the spiritual power contained within the meteors using the Seven-star Binding Spirit Formation.

"Whooosh!"

A dazzling radiance poured down, enveloping Li Chen’s entire body.

Although Li Chen’s eyes were tightly closed, he could feel his body floating like a feather, slowly rising.

The spiritual power in the surroundings was uncontrollably converging above his head at the Tianxuan acupoint.

Soon, the Dantian area in his lower abdomen began to rotate counterclockwise.

When the rotation reached its extreme, only a black point remained.

This black point was extremely mysterious; it started expanding rapidly, and just when Li Chen thought it was going to burst out of his body, it suddenly collapsed, until it turned into a speck of light invisible to the naked eye.

Infinitely small yet infinitely large. It flickered in and out of existence, extraordinarily mysterious, resembling the singularity before the Big Bang.

Subsequently, the singularity expanded and collapsed repeatedly in cycles.

With each cycle, Li Chen experienced indescribable pain.

However, with each repetition, a meteor was completely devoured, turning into a dull, lightless meteorite.

Initially, each cycle devoured dozens, even hundreds of meteorites.

However, as the number of cycles increased, the quantity of devoured meteors gradually decreased until it was completely saturated and could no longer devour any more.

As a massive amount of spiritual power surged inside, the singularity within it started to mimic a Chaotic Space, gradually breeding its own space.

A Hexagram spark emerged from the top of Li Chen’s head.

In that instant, the entire night turned as bright as day.

Li Chen suddenly opened his eyes, filled with excitement.

"Ha ha, I’ve finally broken through the bottleneck and ascended to the Demigod Realm!"
