Rebirth of the Supreme Immortal Emperor

Upon seeing the target chosen by Yee Mengtan among the group of Dark Field Mice, it wasn’t necessarily the strongest, but indeed the most cunning-looking.

Li Chen was very satisfied with Yee Mengtan’s choice and said, "Alright, let’s choose it then!"

Seeing that Li Chen had no objections, Yee Mengtan transformed into a lotus flower wrapped in black light, enveloping the chosen Dark Field Mouse.

After a long journey, this group of Dark Field Mice finally arrived at the edge of the Sea of Darkness.

Originally numbering in the billions, there were now only under a million left.

Faintly, the dawn filled with light could be seen ahead.

The distance in a straight line was less than a kilometer!

However, this thousand meters became a death zone for the Dark Field Mice.

With every meter forward, hundreds or even thousands of Dark Field Mice died.

When there were only a hundred meters left, the number of Dark Field Mice was less than ten thousand.

However, aside from the Dark Field Mouse chosen by Yee Mengtan, the rest were mostly on the brink of death, unable to advance further.

The Dark Field Mice emitted squeaking sounds, but in the muffled sea water, they sounded so desolate and hopeless.

Soon after, these Dark Field Mice gathered together one after another.

Their bodies turned into streams of light.

Then, just like numerous rivers converging into the sea, they gathered onto a small portion of the mice.

Seeing this scene, Li Chen felt a bit surprised and asked, "What’s going on?"

Yee Mengtan explained in a voice devoid of emotion, "They are sacrificing themselves, through their sacrifice, they provide strength to their still-energetic companions to continue toward the light!"

Upon hearing Yee Mengtan’s explanation, even Li Chen was somewhat moved.

Soon, nearly ten thousand Dark Field Mice were reduced to just over a hundred robust ones remaining.

After receiving the energy supplement from the lives of their companions, these hundred or so Dark Field Mice continued forward.

When eighty meters remained, another twenty or thirty Dark Field Mice vanished in smoke.

At fifty meters, there were less than fifty Dark Field Mice left.

At thirty meters, still twenty Dark Field Mice remained.

At ten meters, only the last ten remained.

Aside from the one chosen by Yee Mengtan, the remaining nine were all lifeless.

"Squeak, squeak!"

"Squeak, squeak!"

These nine Dark Field Mice looked at the dawn near at hand and used the last of their strength to make squeaking sounds.

But this time, their sounds contained no sorrow, nor despair.

All that was left was yearning for the light!

Soon, these nine Dark Field Mice, carrying their longing for light, merged with the chosen Dark Field Mouse.

The Dark Field Mouse, infused with the strength and beliefs of its companions, focused its bright eyes on the dawn within reach.

"Squeak!"

A sharp sound echoed through the seabed.

As the sound rose, the Dark Field Mouse leaped like fish jumping over the Dragon Gate, crossing the edge of the Sea of Darkness, racing toward the light.

Just at the moment it touched the light, a scorching beam of light suddenly burst forth.

Born from the Nether River, the mouse had always lived in darkness and had never encountered light.

Upon this first contact, it was severely burned, even catching fire.

But in spite of this, the Dark Field Mouse made no sign of quitting and instead gritted its teeth, persisted, and persisted again.

At this moment, the Dark Field Mouse was no longer just a mouse living in a dark corner but a phoenix reborn from fire.

"Roar!"

A soul-stirring dragon chant suddenly echoed across the sky.

Then a remarkably large mouse transformed into a black-green Jiao Long.

If one looked closely, they could see a black lotus mark on its forehead.

This was Yee Mengtan’s mark!

This meant the Jiao Long was a fusion of the Dark Field Mouse and Yee Mengtan.

Li Chen stepped forward, cupped his hands toward the Jiao Long, and said, "Congratulations on breaking the curse!"

Yee Mengtan seemed somewhat excited and said, "I owe it to you, otherwise I would still be trapped in that endless Sea of Darkness."

Li Chen smiled lightly, casually switching the topic, and asked, "Do you have any plans next?"

Yee Mengtan gazed toward the far-off sky with longing.

After a long pause, responding with, "I wish to explore the distance!"

Li Chen nodded and said, "Alright then, I wish you a safe journey!"

After bidding farewell to Yee Mengtan, Li Chen went to look for Snow Princess and the others.

Because a Dark Field Mouse successfully transformed into a dragon, the curse placed upon the Sea of Darkness was lifted as well.

The sea realm and Nine Nether entrance were thus sealed up.

Hence, everything returned to calm once more.

Snow Princess and they, who had been overshadowed by the shadow of the Death God and had even started to despair.

Suddenly, they heard a dragon chant echoing through the sky.

Immediately, a dawn symbolizing hope pierced through the swirling dark mist and enveloped them.

Billions upon billions of Dark Field Mice suddenly vanished without a trace.

The sea realm returned to normal along with it!

Everything seemed like a nightmare.

As everyone was in a daze, unable to distinguish between reality and illusion, Li Chen’s figure floated over.

Seeing Li Chen arrive, Snow Princess excitedly rushed over.

She then, like a curious child, began to ask questions.

"What exactly happened?"

Upon hearing Snow Princess’s inquiries, the others also turned their gaze towards Li Chen.

Li Chen did not directly answer Snow Princess’s question but instead dodged, casually saying, "It’s not advisable to stay long in dangerous places, we should hurry away!"

Seeing Li Chen unwilling to elaborate, Snow Princess did not press further.

Others, though anxious to know more, kept quiet due to their shallow relationship with Li Chen.

Furthermore, Li Chen’s temper was eccentric, unpredictable, and a single wrong word could make one the Dead Souls beneath his sword.

Therefore, even though some were brimming with curiosity, they dared not speak up.

"Indeed, it’s not advisable to stay long, we should hurry away!"

Li Mengjiao hurriedly chimed in agreement.

The others nodded in agreement, still somewhat afraid.

After leaving the Sea of Darkness, Li Chen and his entourage moved northward.

After about three days, distant mountains came into view, looming faintly.

Snow Princess pointed at the faintly visible mountains ahead excitedly and said, "That’s the Boundary Mountain between the sea and land; once we cross it, we’ll be safe!"

The cultivators, upon hearing that they were about to reach Boundary Mountain, each became energized as if pumped with adrenaline.

At that moment, they ignored their physical exhaustion and sped toward it, desperate to return to land and leave the damned sea behind...
