556: It's very simple, I became...

Because he was nearly unkillable, Chen De even found the time to say a few words to Lu Li.

However, the price was that Chen De was beaten even more miserably than before.

Fortunately, he didn't care about such things, though Lu Li cared quite a lot.

After all, the energy of the blood sphere was limited; with Chen De using it like this, who knew how long it would last.

He had to exert himself as well, while also sparing some attention to keep an eye on the other four people on the field.

Yes, four!

What Chen De had done was not yet enough to earn his full trust.

Yan Ci and Qiang Wu went without saying, but even without Lu Li, Wu Dan still had a chance as the three parties formed a triangle.

Currently, they were only held back by the fact that they belonged to the same sect, making it difficult to act openly.

However, the constraints of the breakthrough were weighing more heavily on Lu Li now, and the moment of the breakthrough itself would be the most vulnerable.

So, while Chen De could still hold them off, he had to speed up his progress as quickly as possible.

Gradually, bit by bit, Lu Li drew closer to the Legendary Level, until he was only a single step away.

"Ah!"

Chen De was sent flying once again. This time, he didn't recover as quickly as before, but instead shouted,

"Boss, I can't hold on! There's only a bit of the blood sphere left; I'm afraid it won't be enough!"

Seeing that he was only one step away, Lu Li was completely unable to pull away. How could he be willing to give up now?

Thus, he sent a voice transmission to Chen De, "Yan Zhi, no, Brother Yan, once this is over, we shall call each other brothers from now on."

"As your big brother, once I become a Legend, I will certainly lend you a helping hand."

Hearing Lu Li's words, Chen De's fighting spirit was rekindled. "Big brother, you actually trust me so much that you're willing to condescend to call a Mortal Realm like me your brother."

"Even if I have to risk my life today, I will definitely repay your great kindness."

"You lot, ahhh, die!"

The wounds on Chen De's body began to recover and heal even faster than before.

The final moment was here!

Lu Li could clearly feel it, but he didn't dare to be the slightest bit careless.

He continued to spare a portion of his energy to keep an eye on the four people on the field.

Ten!

Nine!

Eight!

...Three!

Two!

-...Splat!

"When?" Lu Li looked at Chen De in front of him in disbelief.

A large hand had already plunged into Lu Li's chest.

It wasn't that he didn't believe Chen De would move against him; he just didn't believe Chen De could do it without him noticing.

This sudden turn of events was not only unexpected for Lu Li, but the other three were equally caught off guard.

A Mortal Realm, even in this place, actually dared to sneak-attack an Immortal Law.

Was he seeking death?

Furthermore, what made him think that in the ensuing situation, he could break through in front of the other three Legends on the field?

Lu Li gripped Chen De's arm tightly, but he found that no matter how hard he pulled, he couldn't budge it.

It was like the hardest object in this world; even as terrifying power was vented upon it, not even a single ripple was stirred.

And all of these changes occurred within the span of a mere half-breath.

Wu Dan roared, "You dare!"

Qiang Wu and Yan Ci were happy to see Chen De's sneak attack; even if Wu Dan wanted to help, they would continue to block him.

After all, trading a Mortal Realm Yan Zhi for a Lu Li in the Immortal Law Realm was an incredible bargain.

"Boss, go in peace."

"I will avenge you."

Chen De whispered softly into Lu Li's ear, then channeled power into his arm and let it explode.

Bang!

Lu Li followed in the Emperor's footsteps, exploding into a cloud of blood mist.

"Yan Zhi, I'll remember you."

A stream of light appeared where he had been, and after the voice rang out, it vanished into space.

The golden light within the blood mist converged, finally condensing into the golden light orb that had appeared repeatedly before.

While fighting Qiang Wu, Wu Dan questioned Chen De, "Without Lu Li, how can I contend against two Immortals?"

Chen De only smiled faintly upon hearing this. "It's simple, I'll just become an Immortal."

With that, he grabbed the golden light orb, and it instantly merged into his palm.

"Become an Immortal?" Yan Ci was somewhat disdainful. Since when was becoming an Immortal so easy and simple that one could just do it whenever they wanted?

He immediately clenched his fist and punched toward Chen De.

Even with the golden light orb, becoming a Legend wasn't something that happened in an instant.

Whether it was the Emperor or Lu Li, they had all without exception failed at this very step.

Although he was only an Avatar, his strength was at the limit of the Legendary Level.

Dealing with a minor character in the middle of a breakthrough was as easy as pie.

Chen De neither dodged nor avoided, sending the attacking Yan Ci flying to the side with a single slap.

Then he said loudly:

Bright moonlight before my bed, I suspect it is frost on the ground.

I raise my head to gaze at the bright moon, I lower my head and think of my home.

At this moment, his true cultivation was no longer hidden; it was actually the Immortal Law Realm.

Although it didn't manifest much here, the aura inherent to the Immortal Law Realm was released without any concealment.

He opened his mouth and sucked all the blood mist from Lu Li's explosion into his mouth.

Seeing this, Wu Dan no longer mentioned Chen De's attack on Lu Li, and instead focused on fending off Qiang Wu.

However, in his heart, he felt a few more degrees of wariness toward Chen De.

That strike just now hadn't caused any real damage to Yan Ci, it had only left him looking a bit disheveled.

After all, he truly hadn't expected Chen De's strength to be so great, even slightly greater than that of his Avatar.

"You have some skill." However, Yan Ci didn't think he was inferior to Chen De.

Determining who was stronger or weaker was never just about strength alone; there were many factors involved.

He had just been careless and was caught by a surprise attack.

Now that he knew Chen De was also in the Immortal Law Realm, Yan Ci naturally wouldn't underestimate him anymore.

He would conduct the upcoming battle with absolute seriousness.

Then, Yan Ci shot forward like a cannonball, leaving a massive explosive roar in the air with a bang.

Everywhere he passed, only a white trail was left, stretching all the way toward Chen De.

Facing Yan Ci's full-strength attack once again, Chen De remained calm and unhurried.

Holding the ten thousand beast saber and wearing his magic armor, he delivered a direct downward slash.

At the exact moment Yan Ci reached him, Chen De's blade landed right between his eyebrows.

Then, from top to bottom, like cutting through tofu, it sliced through his head, neck, chest, arms, fists... all the way out through his crotch, splitting the entire person in two.

A one-shot kill. Yes, Yan Ci, who had come with a full-strength strike, was actually one-shot by Chen De's single blade.

The level of shock this scene brought to the other three was no less than that of the earlier sneak attack on Lu Li.

Yan Ci's Avatar, split in half, immediately collapsed into countless points of light and quickly dissipated.

While Chen De still maintained his slashing posture, at this very moment, the Legend Realm was achieved!
