Chapter 1818 - 1815: South Pole Emperor!
The Yaochi Saint Mother saw Beiming Xue’s expression change and coldly asked, "Beiming Xue, you knew about this matter long ago, didn’t you?"
This time, she didn’t call Beiming Xue by her nickname Xue’er, but used her full name Beiming Xue.
Beiming Xue shuddered and quickly responded, "Disciple didn’t know, only heard Senior Sister mention it earlier!"
Upon hearing Beiming Xue’s words, the Yaochi Saint Mother couldn’t help but sneer repeatedly.
"Heh, Beiming Xue, who do you think you can fool with your little tricks? Don’t assume that I don’t know about how you’ve secretly reversed the Time-Space Roulette!"
Suddenly hearing this from the Yaochi Saint Mother, Beiming Xue’s entire body stiffened.
So, the Master actually knew long ago.
Beiming Xue bit her lip gently, seeming to make a huge decision, and knelt to respond, "Disciple acknowledges the mistake and hopes for the Master’s punishment!"
Looking at Beiming Xue below, the Yaochi Saint Mother asked, "Beiming Xue, do you know how severe the punishment could be for the mistake you’ve made?"
Beiming Xue gritted her teeth and resolutely replied, "No matter how severe the punishment, disciple is willing to accept it and hopes for Master’s judgment!"
Seeing Beiming Xue’s single-minded plea for death, the Yaochi Saint Mother sighed lightly.
"Alas, Xue’er, why is this necessary? Is it worth it for him?"
"Moreover, do you think doing this will make him forgive you? No, he hates you to the bone now!"
Hearing the Yaochi Saint Mother’s angry rebuke, Beiming Xue’s mouth twitched slightly in pain.
Afterward, she again repeated the previous sentence in an emotionless tone.
"Disciple acknowledges the mistake and hopes for the Master’s punishment!"
The Yaochi Saint Mother was almost driven to fury by this disciple, angrily flicking her sleeves and shouting, "We’ll deal with your matter later, Li Chen is currently breaking through the heavenly laws in the silver core, retrieving the Xuanyuan Divine Sword."
"Once he succeeds, the Three Thousand Worlds may face destruction!"
After saying these harsh words, the Yaochi Saint Mother turned and left.
She wanted to contact Emperor Zhuanxu, Emperor Haotian, Emperor of the North Pole, South Pole Emperor, Western Buddha, Emperor Wuji, Emperor Tongtian and others to collectively stop Li Chen from retrieving the Xuanyuan Divine Sword.
Meanwhile:
Li Chen had already broken through six heavenly laws, with only the South Pole Emperor and Western Buddha left unconquered.
Looking at the Star Domain representing the South Pole Emperor and Western Buddha, Li Chen randomly chose one and rapidly charged in.
He needed to race against time to accelerate the breaking of the heavenly shackles!
If not, once Emperor Zhuanxu, Emperor Tongtian, and Yaochi Saint Mother arrived, he would be in certain peril.
Thus, he had to obtain the Xuanyuan Divine Sword before they arrived.
As Li Chen advanced, he sensed the surrounding temperature becoming increasingly cold.
When he landed on the Star Domain symbolizing the South Pole Emperor, the environment had already reached absolute zero.
At absolute zero, any gas would solidify.
Li Chen stood amidst it, eyes bright, gazing at a colossal ice mountain sculpted into a human figure.
This towering ice mountain was immensely large, at least a hundred million times higher than the Himalayas.
Nonetheless, Li Chen did not fear it.
He shifted his thoughts, and his figure rapidly expanded until it equaled the towering ice mountain before him.
"South Pole Emperor, long time no see!"
The South Pole Emperor looked at Li Chen and said, "You finally came!"
Li Chen replied firmly, "Of course!"
The South Pole Emperor pondered for a moment and asked, "Emperor Donghua, do you think you can defy the entire heavenly law on your own?"
Li Chen, word by word, firmly countered, "Why not?"
The South Pole Emperor went silent.
After a long while, he let out a long sigh and said, "You resemble someone greatly!"
Li Chen pursued and asked, "Who?"
The South Pole Emperor seemed deeply afraid of the name, hesitating for a long time before softly uttering the name.
"Chaos Demon Emperor!"
"Chaos Demon Emperor?"
Suddenly hearing this name, Li Chen’s heart involuntarily shook.
He was familiar with the name.
It was the strongest Demon God from the Three Thousand Worlds.
He wanted the entire universe to reset and to construct a new era where he was the sole ruler.
This was naturally opposed by other Great Powers.
Ultimately, led by Emperor Xuanyuan, the Great Powers united and sealed him.
Emperor Xuanyuan also proved the supreme Great Dao through this immortal achievement.
Li Chen steadied his mind and firmly responded, "Chaos is chaos, I am I. He wanted to destroy the world entirely, but I just want revenge!"
The South Pole Emperor slowly said, "The goals differ, but your actions are the same!"
Li Chen snorted at this.
"Heh, your words, say as you will!"
Before his words fell, he abruptly soared into the air, fist like gold, fiercely striking toward the colossal ice mountain.
"Boom!"
The towering ice mountain solidly withstood Li Chen’s fierce attack.
Immediately, chunks of the mountain fell, akin to a polar avalanche.
Yet quickly, the stripped towering ice mountain reformed into one.
Seeing this, Li Chen shouted angrily.
"Hmph, today I’ll see whether your ice mountain is harder or my flames are stronger!"
Li Chen finished, quickly forming seals with his hands, slowly lifting a great sun from his palms.
The surrounding temperature of this great sun reached over a million degrees Celsius, with the core temperature exceeding tens of millions.
As the great sun appeared, the towering ice mountain’s volume rapidly shrank.
Li Chen lifted the great sun and fiercely propelled it forward with a loud shout.
"Boom!"
"Crash!"
The towering ice mountain shattered, turning into starlight, returning to nothingness in the boundless cosmos.
After breaking the South Pole Emperor’s heavenly shackles, Li Chen turned his gaze to the final heavenly shackle.
The Star Domain where the Western Buddha resided!
Upon entering, he heard a solemn chanting of scriptures.
Looking up, he saw a Buddha comparable to the Buddha seated in the void.
Below him were countless disciples.
They wore solemn kasayas, Buddha beads hanging from their necks, wooden fish in hand, reciting continuously.
The majestic Buddhist chants intertwined in the sky, illuminating the entire firmament.
When the Western Buddha saw Li Chen’s arrival, he folded his hands and recited a Buddha’s name.
"Amitabha Buddha, causation comes and goes, kindness and virtue!"
Li Chen also folded his hands in salute, responding word by word:
"Western Buddha, how have you been?"
