Chapter 1822 - 1819: Joining Forces Against the Enemy!
Upon hearing Li Chen’s questioning, the Chaos Demon Emperor’s thoughts seemed to drift back to the past.
After a dead silence, he finally spoke, "The Primordial Universe hasn’t been completely destroyed; some fragments remain, entering the new universe."
He then pointed to the black hole at the center of the Milky Way, saying, "This galactic center black hole is one such fragment of the Primordial Universe. However, this fragment is too small and has now been completely eroded by the new universe!"
After listening to the Chaos Demon Emperor’s narrative, Li Chen nodded as if understanding something.
Then he pursued further, "Are you saying that you entered the new universe alongside these Primordial Universe fragments?"
The Chaos Demon Emperor nodded in agreement, saying, "Precisely. Moreover, the fragment of the universe I was in is relatively intact—its diameter is about a billion light years!"
Stunned by the terrifying astronomical figure of a billion light years, Li Chen was momentarily shocked.
It’s worth knowing that the entire Milky Way’s diameter is only a mere hundred thousand light years.
Yet, even after the Primordial Universe’s destruction, a surviving fragment has a diameter of a billion light years, roughly the size of ten thousand Milky Ways.
If it were the complete Primordial Universe, its size would be beyond imagination for an average person.
Seemingly perceiving the shock in Li Chen’s heart, the Chaos Demon Emperor threw out another bombshell.
"By the way, these fragments of the Primordial Universe have a new name here—Outer Heaven!"
Upon hearing the words "Outer Heaven," Li Chen felt as if struck by lightning.
The place he once strove to ascend to was actually a surviving fragment of the Primordial Universe.
Suddenly, Li Chen thought of something and pursued, "So you came from Outer Heaven?"
The Chaos Demon Emperor did not conceal and responded, "Indeed, I originated from Outer Heaven. Not just me, but even your dear daughter Strangulation comes from Outer Heaven."
Upon hearing the Chaos Emperor’s words, Li Chen finally understood why Strangulation possessed such defying divine skills.
It turns out she, too, is a surviving remnant seed from the Primordial Universe.
Seeing Li Chen’s silence, the Chaos Demon Emperor continued:
"The Primordial Universe is vast, but the variety of life forms is not many. Hence, the Source Power there is incredibly rich and pure. Unlike your new universe, where life forms are far too numerous, and the Source Power becomes turbid and thin!"
Li Chen may not have seen the expression changes of the Chaos Demon Emperor, but he could discern from his tone.
The Chaos Demon Emperor longed for the Primordial Universe and despised the current new universe.
Li Chen organized his thoughts slightly and asked, "So, you want to destroy all life in the current new universe, reverting the universe back to the primordial state?"
Hearing Li Chen’s words, the Chaos Demon Emperor appeared as though he had found a soulmate, excitedly saying:
"Exactly, that’s my intention. Are you willing to join me in completing this great endeavor?"
Li Chen thought for a moment and said, "I have no interest in either the new universe or the primordial universe."
Before Li Chen could finish speaking, the Chaos Demon Emperor interrupted directly, "You just want revenge, right?"
Li Chen solemnly nodded, responding, "Indeed, I only want revenge!"
The Chaos Demon Emperor chuckled, responding, "It’s all the same. Regardless of our motives, we need to deal with those annoying ones. As you humans say, it’s different paths leading to the same goal!"
Seeing the Chaos Demon Emperor laugh, Li Chen also laughed.
...
Outside the black hole, Emperor Zhuanxu, Emperor Tongtian, Yaochi Saint Mother, Emperor of the North Pole, South Pole Emperor, and others were gathered, discussing how to deal with Li Chen.
Now, there are only two ways to deal with Li Chen.
The first is to delve into the black hole and kill him before he regains his peak strength, eradicating the threat permanently.
However, within this black hole, Li Chen has used spatial secret techniques to downgrade its dimensions, making it his domain.
Although they’re all of Immortal Emperor standing, rashly entering might not yield any advantage.
Instead, Li Chen might use his home-field advantage to defeat them one by one.
The second way is like the ancient binding of the Chaos Demon Emperor—thoroughly sealing the black hole space.
However, should this happen, over time, the power used for sealing would gradually drain.
Consequently, when the power weakens, Li Chen trapped inside might seize the opportunity to escape.
Both methods have pros and cons.
The former can solve Li Chen’s threat once and for all but carries enormous risk.
The latter poses relatively less risk, but should Li Chen escape, the consequences would be unthinkable.
Regarding which approach to use, the eight Immortal Emperors were divided.
While each held their own views, suddenly a bizarrely violent force exploded from the black hole.
Soon, a figure shot out across the void.
Seeing this figure, everyone present was taken aback.
"Emperor Donghua, he dares to strike out actively?"
Yaochi Saint Mother first noticed the anomaly, asking solemnly, "Do you all sense that his aura is somewhat unusual?"
Upon hearing Yaochi Saint Mother’s comment, Emperor Zhuanxu, Western Buddha, and others were momentarily stunned.
Suddenly, Western Buddha seemed to realize something, releasing an incredulous scream.
"Chaos Demon Emperor?"
"I didn’t expect after so many years, you still remember me!"
This was the Chaos Demon Emperor’s voice, full of eerie chill.
Hearing the true voice of the Chaos Demon Emperor left everyone present dumbfounded.
"Li Chen, you’ve allied with the Chaos Demon Emperor!"
Yaochi Saint Mother glared in rage, rebuking harshly.
"Not allied, but cooperating!"
This time, Li Chen’s response was, as cold as the universe, without any emotion.
Upon hearing this, Emperor Zhuanxu erupted in anger, yelling fiercely, "If that’s the case, today we’ll slaughter the two of you demons, eliminating the threat permanently!"
After speaking, the momentum within him exploded, a beam of brilliance soared into the sky.
Yaochi Saint Mother, Arctic Immortal Emperor, and South Pole Immortal Emperor exchanged glances among themselves, then released their own momentum.
The eight surrounded Li Chen, forming a formidable encirclement.
Facing the encirclement by eight Immortal Emperors, Li Chen was utterly unafraid.
Li Chen glanced imperiously, surveying everyone, shouting fiercely.
"Come on, all of you come together, let’s decide life and death here on the Milky Way!"
Before his words subsided, the Xuanyuan Divine Sword in his hand erupted with a blood-red brilliance, soaring toward the heavens above the Ox and Heroes...
