Chapter 1819 - 1816: Immortal Emperors Assembled!
The Western Buddha’s gaze shot out a holy light, staring directly at Li Chen.
"Benefactor, see how peaceful and harmonious the Three Thousand Worlds are!"
As he spoke, he waved his sleeve, scattering a myriad of Buddha Lights.
Subsequently, these Buddha Lights transformed into fragments of time and space.
In these fragments, bustling scenes could be clearly seen.
It was indeed a picture of peace and harmony!
After watching, Li Chen asked coldly in an emotionless tone, "Western Buddha, say what you mean directly, there’s no need for these convolutions!"
The Western Buddha clasped his hands together and recited a Buddhist mantra in a deep, imposing voice.
"Amitabha Buddha, benefactor, the sea of bitterness knows no bounds; repent and the shore is near. Do not let a selfish desire cause the world’s destruction and all beings to be devastated!"
Upon hearing this, Li Chen couldn’t help but laugh wryly, shouting, "Heh, it’s you gods and buddhas up high who should be destroyed, not this world!"
The murderous intent in his words still hung in the void as Li Chen rose against the air, striking down with one palm towards the Bodhisattvas and Arhats chanting below.
"Boom!"
With an unmatched ferocity, the hand energy swept across the world, devastating the entire Buddhist sanctuary.
Then, his whole body shone brilliantly, with an overwhelming terrifying aura exploding forth, carrying the power of devouring heaven and earth, crashing toward the projection of the Western Buddha.
The Western Buddha suddenly stretched out a massive palm, surrounded by golden shining Buddhas, striking towards Li Chen.
Li Chen was indifferent to this, his figure continued to rotate at high speed, forming a powerful centripetal force that devoured the entire Star Domain’s energy completely.
"Boom!"
Li Chen’s figure collided with Buddha’s palm imprint in mid-air. Nebulas rolled like monstrous waves, extremely shocking. The earth-shattering thunder from the collision was terrifying.
At last, Li Chen’s rotation speed reached light speed, directly collapsing into a black hole.
The Western Buddha’s projection couldn’t resist the powerful devouring force, and his image turned into starlight, disappearing completely.
Thus, the eight Immortal Emperor wills sealing the Galactic Center Black Hole were all forcibly broken by Li Chen.
Seeing this, Li Chen let out a long breath.
He gazed at the black hole, a meaningful smile appearing on the corners of his mouth.
"Old friend, I’m here!"
Immediately, Li Chen’s figure maintained the same rotation direction and speed as the black hole, preparing to enter it to search for the Xuanyuan Divine Sword.
Upon entering the black hole, Li Chen keenly noticed a golden light burst forth.
In a moment, he saw a giant Divine Sword emit brilliant radiance in the pitch-black universe.
Suddenly, this Divine Sword illuminated the entire universe!
Seeing this, Li Chen couldn’t suppress his joy, excitedly said, "Old friend, we’ve finally met again!"
The Xuanyuan Divine Sword appeared very thrilled upon seeing Li Chen, cutting through the air with a radiant beam, flying towards his palm.
Li Chen grabbed the Xuanyuan Divine Sword, casually slicing out a beam of light.
A hapless star was cleaved in two on the spot by this ferocious beam, like cutting a watermelon.
Just then, eight powerful beams of light came breaking through the sky from eight different directions.
These eight figures were the Yaochi Saint Mother, Emperor Zhuanxu, Emperor Haotian, Emperor of the North Pole, South Pole Emperor, Western Buddha, Emperor Wuji, and Emperor Tongtian.
Yaochi Saint Mother and the others exchanged glances and collectively focused their gaze on Li Chen in the Galactic Center Black Hole.
Though they were the most top-tier Great Powers in the universe.
Li Chen, with the Xuanyuan Divine Sword, was fearless.
Seeing Li Chen, Emperor Zhuanxu was the first to challenge.
"Emperor Donghua, I never expected you would dare return!"
Li Chen glared back and coldly said, "Why wouldn’t I dare return? Just because of your existence?"
Emperor Zhuanxu was furious upon hearing this and was about to act when Yaochi Saint Mother interjected, "Li Chen, you are far from your peak now. We understand your difficult cultivation path and do not wish to kill you. As long as you are willing to surrender the Xuanyuan Divine Sword and imprison yourself in this Galactic Center Black Hole for one million years, we can put past grievances aside, what do you say?"
Upon hearing Yaochi Saint Mother’s words, Li Chen sneered coldly.
"Heh, your saintly reputation truly is well-deserved!"
Hearing Li Chen’s retort, Yaochi Saint Mother’s face immediately showed anger.
Impatient by nature, Emperor Tongtian shouted sternly, "Saint Mother, why waste words with this monster? Even at his peak, we could trap and kill him. Now that his power is much weaker, killing him is a piece of cake!"
Emperor Zhuanxu agreed and echoed, "Taoist Brother Tongtian is right. Today, we must destroy this child to eliminate future troubles. Otherwise, once he restores his peak power, the whole universe could face an apocalyptic catastrophe!"
After speaking, to add weight to his argument, he looked around and said, "Everyone, don’t forget the destruction the Chaos Demon Emperor brought to the Grand Cosmos back then!"
Hearing this from Emperor Zhuanxu, Yaochi Saint Mother, Emperor Tongtian, Emperor of the North Pole, South Pole Emperor, and the others chose to remain silent.
Even the Western Buddha, usually compassionate, only clasped his hands and murmured a Buddhist mantra.
"Amitabha Buddha, well said, well said!"
Li Chen tightly gripped the Xuanyuan Divine Sword, shouting in anger, "Enough talk, come on, will you face me one by one or all at once!"
"I, Li Chen, did not fear in the past, and I certainly won’t today!"
Hearing Li Chen, Emperor Zhuanxu, and Yaochi Saint Mother exchanged looks once more.
They could clearly see that Li Chen’s current cultivation was only at the peak of the Tribulation Crossing Third Level, inferior even to an ordinary Immortal King under their command.
If the eight Immortal Emperors joined forces, it would be beneath them.
After a moment of dead silence, Emperor Zhuanxu suddenly shouted in a commanding voice.
"I’ll go!"
Even before he finished speaking, he shattered the void with a step and charged towards Li Chen.
Li Chen and Emperor Zhuanxu locked eyes across the void.
Their overwhelming presence caused the surrounding celestial bodies to deviate from their paths.
"Emperor Donghua, back then, I was defeated by you. It has always been a thorn in my heart. I never thought I would ever have the chance to regain my face, I never expected you to return!"
Previously, when Li Chen had just advanced to the Immortal Emperor Realm, he had once battled Emperor Zhuanxu alone.
That battle was incredibly fierce.
Both sides destroyed over ten thousand stars before a decisive outcome was barely achieved.
Li Chen narrowly defeated Emperor Zhuanxu with a half-step advantage!
