Rebirth of the Supreme Immortal Emperor

Chapter 1606 - 1603: King Wu Badao

"Boom!"

Just as the entire Royal Palace was in chaos, a thunderous sound suddenly echoed from the depths of the grand hall.

Immediately, a giant light column shot into the sky, piercing straight into the Nine Heavens Cloud.

At the top of this light column stood a middle-aged man clad in a bright yellow battle robe, holding the Green Rainbow Divine Sword.

He exuded an authoritative aura without anger, his presence reminiscent of the War God Xingtian.

"Who dares to invade my Great Wu Dynasty, ignoring my existence as the King?"

Upon seeing him, the Forbidden Army, maids, princes, and princesses in the Royal Palace fell to their knees like drowning people clutching at the last straw, shouting long live the king.

Indeed, the man was none other than the King of the Great Wu Dynasty, Wu Badao!

Originally gentle and refined, the Ninth Prince Wu Changwen now cried out like a frightened child, tears and snot streaming down.

"Father, that rascal Li Chen. He, he, he killed the State Preceptor..."

Upon hearing Wu Changwen’s words, Wu Badao’s expression immediately darkened, his pupils seemed to be ablaze with fury.

Before he inherited the throne, he had a very deep friendship with Zhuge Hu.

During the struggle for the throne, it was Zhuge Hu who schemed and helped him defeat his powerful elder brother.

It could be said that without Zhuge Hu, there would be no Wu Badao today.

His relationship with Zhuge Hu was less like monarch and minister, and more like close friends.

Yet, unexpectedly, his most valued confidant and friend for many years was brutally killed in his Royal Palace.

This sent Wu Badao into a thunderous rage.

He no longer harbored any intention of recruiting Li Chen.

At this moment, he only wanted to eliminate him as soon as possible.

Wu Badao, unable to contain his rage, roared at Li Chen.

"Li Chen, you audacious brat, how dare you force your way into my royal palace, slaughter my guards, kill my State Preceptor. Today, if I don’t execute you, I am unworthy as a king!"

Li Chen looked at Wu Badao coldly and said, "I warned you, if you don’t release them, I will wash your entire Royal Palace in blood, leaving not a single chicken or dog alive!"

Wu Badao laughed in extreme anger, "A newborn calf fears no tiger; today, I will see how you intend to blood-bathe my royal palace!"

Li Chen met Wu Badao’s gaze unflinchingly and said grimly, "Alright, open your eyes and watch carefully then!"

Before his words had fallen, Li Chen took the initiative, suddenly stepping forward, soaring into the air to challenge Wu Badao at the same height.

Seeing Li Chen’s starting technique, Wu Badao squinted his eyes, showing a hint of appreciation.

"Good movement technique, but if you think you can contend with me with such minor skills, you’re too naive!"

As he spoke, the abundant True Yuan within Wu Badao surged like a river.

His entire bright yellow battle robe was filled to the brim, flapping fiercely in the raging Gang wind.

A violent pressure immediately spread around like sound waves.

Even the clouds in the high skies were pressed very low, almost to the ground.

The people below were suffocated by this violent pressure, and some weaker cultivators near the impact even vomited blood and died on the spot.

"Arrogant brat, face your doom!"

Wu Badao did not use his Lifebound Divine Weapon, the Green Rainbow Sword, but instead swung his sleeve, punching at Li Chen.

To him, dealing with a junior like Li Chen did not warrant using the Green Rainbow Sword.

A bull is not needed to kill a chicken!

Seeing Wu Badao not using his divine weapon, Li Chen also put away the Seven-star Dragon Abyss.

At this moment, he wanted to take this opportunity to test the resilience of his Domineering Longevity Body.

Could it withstand close combat with a Mahayana Divine Monarch?

Seeing Li Chen also abandoning his divine weapon, Wu Badao was initially stunned, then he shouted in anger.

"Rascal, you truly do not know how high the sky is or how thick the earth is!"

Li Chen’s gaze was contemptuous as he coldly responded, "Noisy!"

As he spoke, Li Chen opened his hand, clenched his fingers tightly, surrounded by lightning and golden light.

"Heavenly Thunder Fist!"

This was an upgraded version of the Thunderbolt Fist, adapted by Li Chen.

Moreover, as his power increased, the might of this technique was incomparable.

"Boom!"

The two terrifyingly fierce punches clashed like two wild horses, colliding fiercely.

At the point of impact from the punches, a violent void formed, causing the surrounding space to collapse repeatedly, unable to withstand the furious shock.

In Wu Badao’s view, no matter how monstrous Li Chen was, he was merely in the Divinity Transformation Realm, not even entering the Half-step Mahayana God Monarch.

There was no way he could withstand Wu Badao’s punch.

Yet, to Wu Badao’s shock, Li Chen not only withstood it but fought on equal terms with him.

Seeing Li Chen’s fierce offensive on the fist front, Wu Badao squinted, pupils sparkling.

In his eyes, Li Chen must have coincidentally received the inheritance of some Ancient Great Power.

If he could kill Li Chen and seize his destiny, his own strength would surely advance significantly.

With this thought, the greedy fire burned even more intensely in Wu Badao’s eyes.

"Great technique, it seems I really underestimated you. Try another of my punches!"

After a shout, Wu Badao clenched his fist again, the ferociously thick True Yuan frantically spilling from his fingers, transforming into countless fist fronts, overwhelmingly enveloping Li Chen.

Seeing this, Li Chen’s brows furrowed slightly.

He clasped his fists and swiftly retreated, drawing out a void trail.

Wu Badao’s overwhelming fist fronts, like charging steeds, accompanied by the overwhelming momentum of thunder, rushed towards Li Chen.

The speed of the fists was extremely fast, enveloping Li Chen completely in the blink of an eye, sealing all his escape routes, leaving him no way out.

Faced with this scenario, Li Chen remained unflustered, his gaze slightly focused, hands swiftly coming together to form seals.

Just as the countless fist fronts were about to crush him into minced meat, a golden defensive light screen enveloped him.

This was the Jiuzhou Divine Tripod!

"Clang!"

"Crackle!"

...

The overwhelming fist fronts crazily pounded on the Jiuzhou Divine Tripod, bursting forth dazzling sparks, their sound echoing through the heavens.

Seeing Li Chen summon a defensive divine weapon, Wu Badao’s pupils shrank suddenly, the greed in his eyes intensified.
