The Immortal Emperor Returns

Chapter 515 A Battle for Life with Heaven!

The Talisman of Destruction could destroy an immortal, but it couldn’t destroy a devil.

At this moment, Chu Xun didn’t care whether he was an immortal or a devil at all.

The Talisman of Destruction had been destroyed. Wang He was dumbstruck, and he began to shiver uncontrollably.

Boom!

Chu Xun raised his hand, and a beam of purple light lit up Wang He’s face, which was distorted because of fear. Chu Xun struck him directly. He coughed up mouthfuls of blood and flew out. His Dantian was devastated, and he became a useless cripple.

Jing Lei looked frightened. As a Chosen One of the Assembly of Immortals, he was unwilling to become a cripple, so he chose to fight to the death.

A power as strong as thunder surged through his body. He turned over his hand and produced something. It was a big silver hammer, which was shining brightly with silvery light after it was activated.

Boom!

Thunders were rumbling in the air, the wind was whistling, and dark clouds were rolling and drifting. A lightning bolt descended from the sky like a python and wrapped itself around the silver hammer.

“Chu the Devil, either you or I will die today.” Jing Lei roared furiously. He was somewhat brave, and he would rather die than become a useless cripple.

Boom!

Holding the silver hammer shining brightly with silvery light, Jing Lei slashed at Chu Xun. The lightning bolt as thick as an arm dashed toward Chu Xun like a python.

A strange look flashed in Chu Xun’s eyes. “It is another Sacred Relic. The power behind these people is indeed terrifying.”

Swoosh!

Chu Xun chose to dodge the attack. The python-like lightning bolt missed him and struck several old trees hundreds of feet away.

Boom!

The lightning bolt swept over. Several old trees were immediately blown up, breaking apart from the middle, and then caught fire.

Chu Xun felt shocked. “This silver hammer was really something extraordinary. It not only could borrow the power of the Ninth Heaven Thunder, but also had terrifying power.”

Boom!

Jing Lei desperately activated the silver hammer, and another huge lightning bolt came rumbling at Chu Xun.

Chu Xun raised his hand lightly. Purple light swirled and burst out from his palm, condensed into a purple python, and collided with the lightning bolt.

Boom!

The lightning bolt exploded, and electric arcs flashed across the sky. The purple light beam swept all obstacles in the way and directly smashed on the silver hammer. Jing Lei had a cramp in his arm, and the silver hammer almost flew out of his hand.

“It’s a waste for you to keep such a Sacred Relic in your hands.” Chu Xun stepped forward and raised his fist to punch.

Bang, bang...!

Purple ripples of light burst out and spread out one after another. The three punches hit the silver hammer, causing Jing Lei’s arm to spasm. Half of his body was paralyzed, and his face turned terribly pale.

Boom!

Chu Xun’s amethyst-like fist struck the silver hammer hard, leaving prints on it, and a terrifying storm swept out.

Jing Lei roared in surprise. His purlicue cracked, and his whole arm lost feeling. The silver hammer flew out of his hand.

Chu Xun reached out his hand and summoned the silver hammer into this hand. After he activated it, the silvery lightning bolt turned into a violent purple one.

Jing Lei was so shocked that his spirit seemed to tremble, and he was sent flying.

But it was already too late.

Boom!

Chu Xun swung the big hammer and struck him with it. The sounds of bone cracking rang out. He screamed and flew out horizontally, smashing two old trees in a row. He couldn’t get up again. This hammer strike broke his bones and tendons, and half of his body was almost smashed.

Chu Xun withdrew the big hammer, raised his hand, and destroyed Jing Lei’s Dantian with a purple light beam.

Bang!

Suddenly, the ground cracked, and Kuang Zhan rushed out. Then, he fled to the distance like a lightning bolt.

Chu Xun raised his hand, and the Reincarnation Whip appeared in his hand. He shook his wrist, and the Reincarnation Whip swooshed out.

Flap!

The Reincarnation Whip broke through Kuang Zhan’s protective aura and hit him in the back without any fancy moves. His skin and flesh were instantly torn open, and blood squirted out.

Kuang Zhan screamed and flew out, smashing a ten-thousand-pound boulder into pieces.

The Reincarnation Whip swooshed, wrapped it around Kuang Zhan, and pulled him back.

“Chu the Devil, I’ll fight you to the death!” Chu Xun roared furiously and rushed toward Chu Xun like crazy.

With an indifferent look on his face, Chu Xun raised his hand and smacked down.

Boom!

A huge handprint slammed Kuang Zhan into the ground.

“Ah...” Kuang Zhan roared angrily. It was this move again. He howled and freaked out.

Chu Xun raised his hand and smacked down again.

A huge terrifying handprint fell from the sky and smacked him, making a booming sound. Waves of soil rolled and surged, and the ground cracked.

Pfft!

Kuang Zhan sank into the ground, and his mouth and face were distorted. He coughed out large mouthfuls of blood. His clothes were in tatters, and his tendons and bones were broken.

Chu Xun flicked his finger, and several beams of purple light shot into Kuang Zhan’s body.

Kuang Zhan screamed in horror, because he found that his cultivation was sealed and he could not activate any of his power at all.

“Chu the Devil, kill me! I dare you to kill me!” He yelled in horror.

Chu Xun looked at Kuang Zhan coldly with his emotionless eyes. “I said you wouldn’t die.”

Kuang Zhan shivered. Chu Xun did not destroy his cultivation, but just sealed it. However, he had a creepy feeling that he would probably end up more miserably than Jing Lei and the others.

Chu Xun turned his head and looked at Flaming Qilin and the others. He said, “Can you heal yourself in peace now?”

“Leave them to me.” Flaming Qilin said only one word. He swallowed the Arcane Fruit and sat down cross-legged to circulate his internal energy and heal the wound.

The Chosen Ones of the Assembly of Immortals were either dead or injured. Those who survived became useless cripples. Only then did Jing Hong and the others start circulating their internal energy to heal their wounds.

Chu Xun took possession of all the storage rings of those Chosen Ones. Anyway, these cripples were not able to use them anymore, so he didn’t want to waste them. He began to operate the magic formation to help Flaming Qilin and the others heal themselves.

With the help of the strong vigor of life in the Arcane Fruits and Chu Xun’s Hong Meng Immortal Qi and magic formation, the healing yielded twice the result with half the effort.

However, Flaming Qilin and the others were injured too badly this time. It took them three days to recover about seventy to eighty percent.

Flaming Qilin became impatient. Before he completely recovered from his injury, he asked Chu Xun to let himself out.

Yan Wushuang also came out.

“Qilin, I owe you a drink,” Yan Wushuang said.

“I accept that you owe me a drink. Let’s drink later.” Flaming Qilin looked at Chu Xun and said, “Can you leave these people to me?”

Chu Xun pointed at Kuang Zhan and said, “Spare this person. I can use him.”

Flaming Qilin nodded, walked away, and pulled off a vine. He tied Jing Lei and the others up one by one and dragged them away.

Yan Wushuang looked at the back of Flaming Qilin with interest and then said to Chu Xun. “I’m leaving with him to have a look. I’ll go find you in Qianlong Mountain later.”

Chu Xun nodded slightly.

He did not ask what Flaming Qilin was going to do about these people. In short, these people would not have a good ending.

“Are you all right?” Chu Xun felt a little scared. If he had come a little later, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Looking at their pale faces, Chu Xun felt a little pain in his heart. He owed them too much.

“We all thought you wouldn’t come back,” Hua Qingwu said with tears rolling down from her eyes. The situation was so dangerous this time.

“I’m sorry!” Chu Xun didn’t know what else to say except for apologizing.

“Don’t say sorry to us. Now that you have chosen to carry the fate of the people on your shoulder, we will stand by you without regrets, no matter how hard this road may be,” Jing Hong said softly.

Chu Xun’s eyes felt a little sore. He stepped forward and held the two of them tightly in his arms.

With her round eyes wide open, Jiu You squeezed into the middle of the three people, unwilling to be left out. She mutters, “I want a hug too.”

Chu Xun was speechless. “Why does this naughty girl want to join in the fun?”

Suddenly, the look on Jing Hong’s face changed slightly. She freed herself from Chu Xun’s arms and hurriedly said, “Go and have a look at your parents. They can’t hold on for long.”

“What?” Chu Xun was shocked. “Are they injured?”

“Have you forgotten how long you’ve been away? They’re about to reach the end of their lives.”

The look on Chu Xun’s face changed abruptly. For the first time, he showed a panicked look. He almost gave himself several slaps in the face, because he had forgotten such an important thing.

“You go back first!” Jing Hong said.

Chu Xun nodded and flew through the air like a stream of light flashing across the void. He disappeared in the blink of an eye.

When Chu Xun returned to Qianlong Mountain, he saw his parents lying in bed. Their hair was white, and they were dying.

“Dad, mom...” Chu Xun knelt down in front of the bed.

Unfortunately, Chu Tianhe and Liu Ran were already in a daze. Chu Xun shouted a few times, but they didn’t open their eyes.

Chu Xun’s eyes turned red. A mixed feeling of fear, regret, and self-blame welled up in his heart, making him tremble all over.

He checked the conditions of Chu Tianhe and Liu Ran with trembling hands and found that they were in very bad conditions. It would be fair to say that their lives were hanging by a thread.

If Jing Hong hadn’t transferred the vigor of life to them, they probably wouldn’t have survived until now.

“Mansion Lord.”

Wu Buhui and Yan Yi came in. Seeing Chu Xun there, they were really excited. However, they were also very worried about Chu Xun when they saw the look on his face.

“Bring Uncle Tang, Aunt Yan, and the others here.”

Wu Buhui and Yan Yi took the order and left.

The five seniors were placed together.

“You go out and guard the door. Don’t let anyone in.”

Chu Xun set up a magic formation in the room. Then he took out the Arcane Fruits and sat down cross-legged.

Chu Xun raised his hand and hit himself in the chest with his palm. Pfft... He spat out a mouthful of blood.

Chu Xun’s face suddenly turned pale. His True Blood was so precious that he could barely withstand it after he drove out so much of it at one time.

The True Blood was suspended in the air and split into five portions, giving off a wild aura.

A drop of Chu Xun’s True Blood could easily kill a master at the Intermediate Immortal Level.

As Chu Xun prepared the magic signet, the five Arcane Fruits floated in the air. Chu Xun flicked his finger and produced five purple flames. After that, he began to refine the Arcane Fruits.

His True Blood could sustain life, but its power was too violent. He needed to neutralize it with the Arcane Fruits’ gentle power of life.

It was a long process. After several hours, he finally finished the refining of the Arcane Fruits and extracted five drops of golden essence.

The next step was to integrate the essence of the Arcane Fruits with his True Blood.

Several hours later, the integration was complete. Five golden drops of liquid were suspended in the air, shining brightly.

Chu Xun controlled the five golden drops of liquid and drove a drop into the glabella of each of the five seniors.

They had no chance to survive and had already lost consciousness. They needed Chu Xun’s help to refine these great medicines.

He divided his divine sense and Hong Meng Immortal Qi into five equal portions and refined the great medicines for tempering the divine souls of the five seniors. Their limbs, bones, and internal organs revived with vigor again.

To do this, he must control his divine sense and Hong Meng Immortal Qi in a very strict manner. Even though Chu Xun held his breath and performed every step carefully, beads of sweat with the size of soy beans still appeared on his forehead.

If someone interrupted him at this time, the five seniors would lose their lives immediately, and even Chu Xun would suffer from the adverse side effects. He might be seriously injured, and in the worst case, he would die.

Chu Xun didn’t even dare to blink. His forehead kept sweating, and the sweat dripped down from his chin, wetting his clothes.

The five seniors were almost dead. Chu Xun was fighting a battle for life with heaven. He was going against heaven.

It was not until the next morning that the five seniors began to revive again. Chu Xun had saved them from death.

However, what Chu Xun had done was not enough. He took out some ever-young fruits, fed them to the five seniors, and helped them refine the fruits.

Great changes took place in the five seniors. Their white hairs turned black, and their old faces became white and tender, glowing with health. They were full of vitality and looked like they were in their thirties.

They still needed some time to come back to their senses. Chu Xun’s face was pale, and he almost blacked out. He had used a lot of his True Blood and used up his divine sense and Hong Meng Immortal Qi, so it was good enough that he didn’t pass out.

He looked at the five seniors, who were breathing steadily. Finally, he smiled and hurriedly began to circulate his internal energy and regulate his Qi.
