Rebirth of the Supreme Immortal Emperor-Chapter 401 - 398: Nine Heavens Star Technique: Swapping Sky with Earth

Chapter 401: Chapter 398: Nine Heavens Star Technique: Swapping Sky with Earth

Below the southern snowy rivers, two pairs of eyes burned with a hunger hard to contain, like that of a lurking wolf awaiting its prey, steadfastly staring ahead.

They were none other than the Left and Right Protectors of the Snake Spirit Temple, the siblings Tai Ji and Tai Ling.

The prey they were waiting for was Lian Hongshang!

Although Lian Hongshang kept running forward, she was somewhat distracted, occasionally looking back over her shoulder.

For a time, she felt uneasy.

As to why she was restless, she couldn’t figure it out herself.

Suddenly!

She slipped and stepped into a pre-dug ice hole.

Immediately after, a large chunk of glacier thundered down from above.

Lian Hongshang was startled and instinctively thrusted her sword at the falling ice.

"Boom!"

Her sword pierced through more than half a meter of ice and snow, which then exploded.

However, in that instant, she also spewed out blood.

She had been sneak attacked from behind and bore a heavy palm strike!

Wiping the blood from the corner of her mouth, Lian Hongshang glared at the assailant: "This is the Divine Dragon Palm. Are you people from the Snake Spirit Temple?"

From the dark crevices of his teeth, the Left Protector Tai Ling let out a ghastly chuckle.

"Heh heh, I didn’t expect you, little girl, to be so knowledgeable for your age. Indeed, we are the two great protectors under Lord Snake Spirit!"

"Left Protector Tai Ling!"

"Right Protector Tai Ji!"

After revealing their identities, they stood back to back, striking a pose they believed to be very cool.

"Little girl, hand over the thousand-year-old snow lotus quickly. My sister and I are in a good mood today and are willing to be merciful once, leaving you with a complete corpse!"

Lian Hongshang fiercely protected the thousand-year-old snow lotus and shouted angrily, "If you want the thousand-year-old snow lotus, let’s see if you have the ability to take it!"

During her speech, she suddenly lifted her right arm, exposing her snow-white wrist as clear as frost and jade.

The Joyful Silver Bells on her wrist collided rhythmically, emitting a soul-capturing sound.

Seeing this, both Left Protector Tai Ling and Right Protector Tai Ji were taken aback.

"Joyful Silver Bell? Are you the Goddess of the Miao Territory Witch God Sect?"

"Brother, regardless of whether she’s a goddess or a mortal woman, let’s capture her together and present her to Lord Snake Spirit. I believe such a top-notch beauty will surely please His Excellency!"

Heeding his sister’s suggestion, the Left Protector Tai Ling nodded slightly: "You’re right, sister. At Earth’s pinnacle, human footprints are rare, so killing her would bring no suspicion to us. Even if that Old Immortal Mother of the Witch God Sect learns about this, she certainly wouldn’t dare to provoke Lord Snake Spirit!"

"Hmph, capturing me? That depends on whether you two Yin Yang people have the capability!"

After snorting her disdain, Lian Hongshang fiercely shook the Joyful Silver Bells three times, launching a sonic attack on both Tai Ling and Tai Ji.

The Left and Right Protectors exchanged glances and simultaneously channeled their True Essence Spiritual Power, combining their attacks into a defensive light ring that blocked Lian Hongshang’s sonic assault.

Seeing this, Lian Hongshang immediately drew her sword, the cold light flickering, and struck a silver line straight towards them.

"Divine Maiden Slash!"

The Left and Right Protectors saw Lian Hongshang change her attack and after exchanging glances, they also shifted tactics, simultaneously thrusting out a palm strike.

"Twin Dragons Emerge!"

"Boom!"

One sword against twin dragons, instantly escalating to a life-or-death standoff!

Lian Hongshang was already injured and had been in continuous battle. Both her strength and her True Yuan were greatly depleted and now, channeling her very last breath, she struggled to persist.

But for the siblings Tai Ling and Tai Ji, they were well-rested, and in peak condition in both stamina and True Yuan.

The comparison made the outcome clear at a glance!

After a brief exchange, Lian Hongshang’s True Yuan already showed signs of exhaustion, and fine beads of sweat began to emerge from her pale forehead.

Tai Ling and Tai Ji keenly noticed this.

"Sister, push a little harder, this girl is at the end of her tether, she won’t last much longer!"

"Alright, brother!"

The Left and Right Protectors once again exerted their full power together, the momentum of the twin dragons surged, quickly overwhelming the Sword Shadow.

"Boom!"

The sword shadow shattered, light scattered in all directions!

Lian Hongshang took a heavy hit to her chest, violently spurting a mouthful of fresh blood, her vision went dark, and she fainted.

Tai Ji cautiously approached and gave Lian Hongshang’s head a hard kick to make sure she wasn’t feigning death, then she withdrew her gaze and cast it toward the summit of Mount Everest.

"Brother, what about Immortal Master Li, should we still wait here to catch him in one fell swoop?"

After some thought, Tai Ling shook his head and said, "There’s a very good common saying in Huaxia, ’biting off more than one can chew.’ If Immortal Master Li gets killed by the Himalayan Snow Monster, that would be perfect, sparing us siblings the trouble!"

Tai Ji picked up the conversation, asking, "Brother, what if Immortal Master Li escapes from the Snow Monster?"

Tai Ling pointed to Lian Hongshang lying on the ground, his face full of pride as he said, "Humph, even if he manages to survive the Snow Monster, what can he do? As long as we have this girl and the thousand-year-old snow lotus, I’m sure Immortal Master Li will actively seek us out!"

"The Snake Spirit Temple is Lord Snake Spirit’s territory, as long as he dares to come, his eventual fate of life or death will still be at the mercy of us siblings!"

Saying this, he couldn’t help but let out a smug, strange cackle.

Contagious with his mood, Tai Ji also burst into hearty laughter.

Two flowers bloom, each on its own branch!

Looking at Li Chen, his battle with the Himalayan Snow Monster had reached an intense degree.

Li Chen was desperate to escape, but the Snow Monster, in a fury over the stolen thousand-year-old snow lotus it guarded, gave him no chance to break free.

The Snow Monster’s combat power was usually at the Demigod Realm.

Now, in its frenzied state and fighting on its home turf, even a being of the God Realm would be met with a fierce challenge.

Seeing he couldn’t shake off the Himalayan Snow Monster, a frantic Li Chen looked at the rising sun emerging from the clouds and bit his teeth hard, preparing to play his biggest trump card.

"Big monster, today I will use you to test my blade, and on this Earth, I will reveal the divine might of the Nine Heavens Star Technique!"

Faced with Li Chen’s provocation, the Snow Monster refused to show weakness, pounding its chest and letting out hysterical roars.

"Roar! Roar!"

Li Chen paid no attention to its roars, brought his hands together, and fiercely drew upon his True Yuan, circulating the Big and Small 36 Circuits.

Suddenly, a radiance enshrouded him, bursting forth with a rainbow hue like that which follows rain.

"Nine Heavens Star Technique, First Movement: Stealing the Heavens and Changing the Days!"

Along with Li Chen’s shout, the entire Himalayas trembled violently, with a power comparable to a magnitude nine earthquake.

But unlike an earthquake, which originates from the underground core, this time it stemmed from the sun above.

After the earth-shaking tremor, rolling black clouds swept in from the east, plunging the world into darkness in an instant, darkness so thick one couldn’t see their own hand. The only light was the dazzling radiance emanating from Li Chen.

Dark clouds press upon the city, threatening to crush it, while the first light of dawn glistens off the golden scales!

"Roar! Roar!"

After a series of restless roars, the Himalayan Snow Monster was struck by a ray of golden light and knelt down, looking very much like the most devout believer in the midst of sincere pilgrimage.

Li Chen cut his finger, using the sky as his parchment and the blood as his ink, tracing inscriptions in mid-air.

The Ancient Tadpole Inscriptions from the stars, circulating rapidly at a frequency of a billion times per second, began to arrange and combine, finally forming a sealing rune that smashed onto the life gate at the top of the Snow Monster’s skull.

"The Firmament above, the thick earth below. With my blood, bind our souls for eternity!"

This was a soul contract, prevalent among the myriad races of the stars. The one who is cursed loses all self-awareness, becoming a puppet that shares life and death with its master. As long as its master does not perish body and soul, it shall be immortal.

As Li Chen’s blood flowed, the originally dark red contract began to glow, turning golden.

Seeing this, Li Chen was overjoyed, "Haha, the soul contract is successfully signed!"

However, before his laughter could fade, he suddenly felt darkness before his eyes, and due to the complete depletion of his True Essence, he fell into unconsciousness.

This was the side effect of practicing the Nine Heavens Star Technique; based on his current cultivation level, he had to exert all his power to barely perform it once.

Whether successful or not, he would fall into a deep sleep due to the exhaustion of his True Essence.

Right now, he was at his most vulnerable. Not to mention against Grandmaster Level adversaries, even an ordinary person could easily slay him.

At the very moment Li Chen fainted, the northern hemisphere, which had been engulfed in darkness, swiftly cleared the fog to welcome the sun, and light returned to grace the Human World.

Many world-class astronomers and physicists observed this "solar eclipse" phenomenon.

However, neither the scientists in the northern hemisphere of Russia, Huaxia, nor those in the southern hemisphere of the United States, Europe, could explain this peculiar event with the existing astronomical and physical framework... It had to be temporarily classified as an unsolved astronomical mystery.

Moreover, since the event originated in the Himalayan mountain range, it was therefore named: The Himalayan Solar Eclipse Event!
