112: Chapter 112 After this battle, the Emperor fell.

"Very well, Xiaoyue, since your mind is made up, as your master, I will help you this one time."

"However, you must promise me: I will ensure he survives, but you must stay away from him in the future."

However, the next moment, a divine light reaching the heavens erupted from the heaven-suppressing ocean essence map.

With a heaven-shaking roar, the entire firmament trembled violently under this divine light.

Subsequently, two figures appeared not far from Dao Yuanzi.

"How is it possible? You actually escaped from the heaven-suppressing ocean essence map."

Dao Yuanzi's face looked incredibly grim; just a moment ago, he felt that he had lost his connection to the heaven-suppressing ocean essence map.

This meant that the heaven-suppressing ocean essence map was no longer under his control.

The moment Immortal Elder sensed their presence, he struck immediately.

However, the heaven-suppressing ocean essence map blocked him.

"Brother Chu, look, I've helped you obtain this supreme treasure; can you not blame me? I didn't mean for it to happen."

"I truly didn't know they would be able to find us here."

Ye Shenji coughed awkwardly twice.

"We can discuss this later, but this alone is not enough," Chu Chen said coldly.

"Brother Chu, you can't say it like that! This heaven-suppressing ocean essence map is comparable to an Emperor-grade artifact."

Immortal Elder looked at Dao Yuanzi with confusion, "What is going on?"

Dao Yuanzi's face was grim: "I don't know why, but just now, a mysterious force severed the connection between me and the heaven-suppressing ocean essence map."

Hearing this, Immortal Elder's eyes became incredibly grave.

"Damn it, it's all the fault of this ant. He is clearly only at the fifth stage of the Saint realm, yet not only did he severely injure me without dying, but he even managed to snatch away the heaven-suppressing ocean essence map."

"No matter what the cost, I must kill him."

"No!" Dao Yuanzi said, "It is better for us to retreat. The heaven-suppressing ocean essence map is lost; if we are drawn into it by him, the consequences will be unimaginable."

"Let's report this matter to the Imperial Venerable first."

"If the Imperial Venerable learns that we not only failed to capture Ye Shenji but also lost the heaven-suppressing ocean essence map, he will surely be furious."

Endless killing intent burned in Immortal Elder's eyes, and he looked at Chu Chen as if he wanted to swallow him alive.

"That is still better than losing our lives here. We have cultivated for tens of thousands of years and finally achieved the rank of Quasi-Emperor; do you want to die here?"

Dao Yuanzi shouted, and immediately prepared to take Immortal Elder away from there.

"Lord Quasi-Emperor, do not abandon us!!"

For a moment, the few Saints who had not been killed by Chu Chen pleaded with Immortal Elder.

Before Immortal Elder could answer, a bone-chilling voice resounded through the nine heavens.

"It is too late; you cannot leave now."

Chu Chen held the heaven-suppressing ocean essence map, and his cultivation once again rose to the fifth stage of the Quasi-Emperor realm.

The moment the Chongyang Holy Source substituted for his death, the injuries in his body were continuously restored by the life force of the Golden Lotus.

Now, he could use the Demon God Body's divine ability again to raise his realm to the fifth stage of the Quasi-Emperor.

"Go!!" Seeing this, Dao Yuanzi said decisively; he had never seen such a bizarre person before.

Raising his cultivation to the fifth stage of the Quasi-Emperor realm via a secret technique allowed him to fight a Ninth Stage Quasi-Emperor, and how long had it been since he used it before?

At this moment, he felt utterly dumbfounded.

"Boom."

Just at this moment, another figure exuding the aura of a Ninth Stage Quasi-Emperor appeared before the two.

"Fellow Daoists, please stay; you are not going anywhere today," Qian Muxue said indifferently.

Just as Chu Chen and Ye Shenji were puzzled, a sweet, soft voice rang out.

"Husband, Husband!! I knew you were still alive."

Hearing this voice, Chu Chen knew who it was; there was only one person who called him that: Bai Xiaoyue!!

Bai Xiaoyue quickly arrived at Chu Chen's side and, without a word, threw herself into his arms.

"Husband, Master just said that there was a battle between four Quasi-Emperors here. I was worried to death; I thought that you..."

"I am fine. But you, knowing there was a Quasi-Emperor battle here, you still dared to come in? Are you not afraid of death?"

Since this girl left without saying goodbye last time, Chu Chen had not expected to meet in such a manner.

"I am not afraid, as long as I can find you, Husband!!"

"Xiaoyue, stop reminiscing for now. After we resolve these two, you two can talk at length."

Qian Muxue said softly, feeling somewhat speechless inside; she was currently facing two Ninth Stage Quasi-Emperors.

And you two still have the nerve to reminisce there.

Hearing this, Bai Xiaoyue nodded quickly, "Right, right, right, I almost forgot about Master."

"Husband, go help Master first!!"

"Alright." As Chu Chen finished speaking, his figure instantly disappeared from the spot, and in his hands, a black and a white divine light appeared, surging into the firmament.

It was the ten thousand soul banner and the heaven-suppressing ocean essence map.

The power emitted by the two supreme treasures instantly sealed off this patch of heaven and earth.

"You two old dogs, you cannot go anywhere today; you will both be buried here."

After speaking, supreme Imperial power stirred the firmament from Chu Chen and Ye Shenji, phenomena manifesting around them as they attacked Immortal Elder and Dao Yuanzi.

Bai Xiaoyue, meanwhile, was sent into the Demon Court by Ye Shenji.

Seeing this, Qian Muxue unleashed terrifying power from her body and simultaneously struck at the two people in front of her.

Immortal Elder and Dao Yuanzi also launched their counterattacks in an instant.

The battle of the five Quasi-Emperors was a rare, world-shaking event, with supreme Imperial power sweeping across the Nine Provinces.

However, no one dared to spy on this battle; this was a war of Quasi-Emperors.

Only some Quasi-Emperors who had lived for countless years, and the Supremes within the forbidden zones, dared to observe this battle.

"Dao Yuanzi, if we keep fighting like this, we will both be buried here."

Immortal Elder transmitted his voice.

"What do you mean? What are you planning to do?" Dao Yuanzi asked, confused.

"You and I have known each other since the beginning of our cultivation. The path of cultivation is long; it is said that the Great Dao is lonely, but I have had your company for countless years."

"In this battle, only if one person sacrifices themselves can the other have a chance to escape."

"So, let me, this withered bone, send you out." As Immortal Elder finished speaking, he immediately roared thunderously: "Ultimate Sublimation!!"

The next moment, an unprecedented power erupted from Immortal Elder.

It instantly blasted Chu Chen and the others back.

Seeing this, Immortal Elder's withered body instantly filled out, and he returned to his youngest state, which was also the peak of his combat prowess.

"Dao Yuanzi, the path of cultivation is long; from now on, I will no longer be there to accompany you."

"I can maintain this state for half an hour. I will hold them off; you go quickly."

Seeing this, Chu Chen immediately activated the ten thousand soul banner and the heaven-suppressing ocean essence map.

In an instant, two terrifying divine lights shot toward Immortal Elder.

However, Immortal Elder simply waved his hand, and he deflected the two terrifying beams of light away.

"Undying Qi, condense."

The next instant, a black spear exuding deathly aura appeared in Immortal Elder's hand.

In an instant, it shattered a huge hole through the barrier covering the firmament.

"Dao Yuanzi, go quickly!" Immortal Elder said.

Seeing this, Dao Yuanzi had an indescribable look in his eyes as he glanced at Immortal Elder. "You... take care."

Subsequently, his figure disappeared from the spot.

Chu Chen and his group of three wanted to stop him, but they were enveloped by a black divine light.

"Brother Chu, Immortal Elder is burning his origin to undergo Ultimate Sublimation; he is now infinitely close to an Emperor."

"However, after this battle, an Emperor falls!!" Ye Shenji said with a grave expression.
