Rebirth of the Supreme Immortal Emperor-Chapter 1144 - 1141: You Are My God!

After fleeing for nearly ten thousand miles, Li Chen’s strength was gradually waning. He saw a river below and descended rapidly like a gliding eagle.

The small river flowed gently, its surface as clear as a mirror, reflecting the images upon it.

Li Chen saw his own face, which had noticeably aged, with even some wrinkles appearing, and his expression immediately darkened.

He was very aware that this was the Withered Wood Curse subtly acting up.

Moreover, as the True Yuan within him circulated faster, the onset of the Withered Wood Curse became more severe.

It seemed he needed to quickly find a safe place to dispel this curse.

Otherwise, the ticking time bomb within him was bound to cause a major incident sooner or later.

According to Li Chen’s capabilities, he wasn’t unable to dissolve the Withered Wood Curse—it just required time.

And given the current circumstances, time was the very thing he lacked.

After all, those Red Robed Great Mages wouldn’t give him enough time to unravel the Withered Wood Curse left by the Saint’s dying efforts.

With this thought, Li Chen cast his gaze towards the river’s source.

There lay the Milan Plateau!

Upon reaching the plateau, Li Chen found the tribes sprinkled across the land.

Soon, he determined his target.

It was the back mountain of a place called the Milan Tribe, surrounded by steep cliffs, quite secluded—a perfect place to hide and heal.

Meanwhile:

Livia had also returned to her tribe, along with Aslan and Ironsmith Uncle. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

The people of the tribe were greatly surprised by their sudden return.

According to their schedule, they weren’t supposed to be back for at least another month.

Ironsmith Uncle and the others recounted the events in full detail.

After hearing their story, everyone in the tribe was in a state of disbelief, falling into a death-like silence.

In response, Livia said nothing, merely claiming she was tired and wanted to go back to her room to rest.

In reality, she didn’t return to her room but went to the back mountain.

She felt as though something was guiding her there.

It’s said that the back mountain connects to the abyss of hell, where fierce beasts often roam. Even the strongest warriors entering there face a near-certain death.

Thus, it was considered a forbidden land of the Milan Tribe.

However, this long-still forbidden land was currently disturbed by a single person.

That person was Li Chen!

Just as Li Chen was about to use the Meteorite Heart to forcibly dissolve the Withered Wood Curse, the defensive barrier he set up suddenly moved.

He was taken aback and immediately released his Divine Sense to investigate carefully.

To his surprise, it wasn’t the Saint Heir or the Red Robed Great Mages, nor any warriors from the Angel Clan, but the girl he had seen before—Livia, the one as delicate as a carved jade.

Strange, why did she come here?

With doubt in his mind, Li Chen decided to capture the little girl for his safety and inquire about the outside situation.

Upon seeing Li Chen appear suddenly, Livia was not only unafraid but her sapphire-like eyes shone with joy beyond expectation.

Li Chen, with a stern face, asked, "Why are you here?"

Livia bowed and said, "I was guided by God!"

Li Chen snorted, slightly displeased, and said, "Your God is already dead!"

Livia shook her head and said, "No, you are the God in my heart!"

After speaking, she did something that greatly shocked Li Chen.

Livia prostrated herself on the ground to kiss the tips of Li Chen’s toes.

Li Chen, somewhat taken aback, quickly helped her up.

"What are you doing?"

Livia, with sapphire eyes, gazed at Li Chen and said reverently, "You are my God. I, Livia, am willing to give my body and soul to you, and I will never betray you in this life!"

Li Chen pondered for a moment and asked, "Are you a virgin?"

Hearing the sudden question from Li Chen, Livia was slightly startled.

Then, as if making a big decision, she nodded vigorously like a pecking chicken.

"Yes, my body and soul are pure and have never been tainted!"

As she spoke, she began to remove her clothing.

Seeing this, Li Chen hurriedly stopped her.

Livia’s sapphire eyes rippled with confusion, staring blankly at Li Chen.

Understanding her gaze, Li Chen said, "You’ve misunderstood. I didn’t mean that; I just want to borrow a little of your virgin Essence Blood as a medicinal primer for healing. Can you help me?"

Livia nodded without hesitation, responding, "Of course, serving a God is the honor of my life, and moreover, you saved my life!"

"Thank you!"

Li Chen thanked her, then held Livia’s pale jade-like wrist, the idiom ’jade wrist condensing frost’ seemed tailor-made for her.

Livia’s supple, bone-less hand was like a piece of fine mutton fat jade, her slender, long blue veins clearly visible.

Li Chen looked up at Livia again and said softly, "It might hurt a bit, try to bear with it!"

Livia repeatedly assured it was alright, though she bore a look of wanting to see but not daring to.

Li Chen, disregarding his pity for her, used his fingers as a blade to cut Livia’s fair wrist.

Immediately, the blood flowed out continuously.

Soon, Livia’s complexion changed from a rosy hue to pale, appearing very weak.

Seeing this, Li Chen quickly stopped the bleeding.

"Are you alright?"

Livia forced a smile and weakly said, "I’m fine!"

"Livia can still hold on, do you need more blood?"

Li Chen shook his head, replying, "No, it’s enough!"

Livia again smiled with relief, seemingly wanting to say something, but only opened her mouth without uttering a word before suddenly feeling a blackness before her eyes and fainting.

Seeing this, Li Chen quickly stepped forward to support her, holding her tightly in his arms.

He looked at the delicate, jade-like angelic girl with some heartache, murmuring to himself, calling her a "silly girl", then took her back to his temporary cave.

After confirming that Livia was just temporarily unconscious and not in serious condition, Li Chen no longer attended to her.

Instead, he focused all his attention on operating the Meteorite Heart, preparing to conquer the Withered Wood Curse within him in one fell swoop.

After all, the Saint Heir and Red Robed Great Mages were presently scouring the world for him.

With his current strength, he simply couldn’t stand a chance against them.

Therefore, expelling the curse and restoring his body was now of paramount importance.

Luckily, with Livia’s virgin Essence Blood used as the medicinal primer, it saved him much trouble and could even make the whole process more effective...
