Rebirth of the Supreme Immortal Emperor

Chapter 1628 - 1625: Elder Yun Chong

"You useless thing, shut up!"

Before Hei Guang’s voice could land, Elder Yun Chong glared angrily and chastised him harshly.

Hei Guang was startled and nodded submissively, not daring to speak another word.

At this moment, Li Chen suddenly sneered coldly.

"Hehe!"

Upon hearing Li Chen’s sneer, Yun Chong’s sinister eyes flickered uncertainly.

His gaze focused as he asked harshly, "What are you laughing at?"

Li Chen did not directly answer Yun Chong’s question but casually asked in return.

"Are you the Inner Sect Grand Elder of the Cloud Dragon Palace?"

Yun Chong nodded proudly and replied, "Yes, it is me!"

Li Chen asked again, "Then do you know God Monarch Yunlong?"

Yun Chong was momentarily stunned and replied, "Of course, God Monarch Yunlong is my Sect Leader senior brother and the current Hall Master of our Cloud Dragon Palace."

Saying this, he spoke with a trace of anger, asking, "What, do you think my strength is inferior to my Sect Leader senior brother?"

Li Chen shook his head and replied, "You misunderstood; I didn’t mean that!"

After saying this, he carefully observed Yun Chong once more and said, "Elder Yun Chong, you and God Monarch Yunlong are indeed disciples molded by the same master."

Yun Chong was surprised and asked, "Oh, how do you mean?"

Li Chen replied casually, "In the past, God Monarch Yunlong also wanted to take me as his disciple!"

Yun Chong’s expression was briefly stunned, and he eagerly asked, "Did you agree?"

Li Chen shook his head again and replied, "No, I didn’t!"

Yun Chong scoffed, "Haha, that’s really strange. Given my Sect Leader senior brother’s personality, if you dared to refuse him, how could he forgive you?"

Li Chen smiled slightly and said, "He wanted to kill me!"

Yun Chong looked at Li Chen with an appreciative tone and said, "It seems your strength is formidable indeed, to escape from God Monarch Yunlong’s hands!"

Li Chen laughed and shook his head, replying, "Not really!"

Yun Chong was surprised and asked, "Then what is it; did my Sect Leader senior brother see your talent and decide it was a waste to kill you, so he let you go?"

"No, I defeated him. He fled in panic, and now who knows where he’s hiding, licking his wounds!"

Li Chen said this very casually, very naturally.

However, upon hearing this, Yun Chong and his disciple Hei Guang felt as if they were struck by lightning, the Five Thunders Bombing.

After a moment of dead silence, Elder Yun Chong laughed out loud as if he heard a huge joke.

"Haha, Li Chen, are you telling me jokes? But this joke isn’t very funny!"

At the end of this statement, Yun Chong’s vulture-like sinister eyes suddenly narrowed, filled with killing intent.

Li Chen shrugged, with a look of "believe it or not".

Seeing he could not win Li Chen over as his disciple, Elder Yun Chong planned to kill him, to eliminate future threats.

After all, now a feud of life and death had ensued.

Moreover, Li Chen’s talent was monstrously extraordinary.

At his young age, he had such terrifying achievements, if he didn’t fall prematurely, in the future he would surely break through bottlenecks and advance to the Mahayana realm.

Now, his own cultivation has pretty much stagnated, this life fearing he won’t advance an inch further.

Therefore, he must kill him while he is still relatively weak, to eliminate this threat entirely.

Thinking of this, Yun Chong had no hesitation, he shouted violently, and rolling black clouds erupted from his wide sleeves.

"Li Chen, since you won’t accept my kindness and insist on drinking the penalty wine, don’t blame me for having no mercy!"

Before the murderous words could land, the black mist released from Elder Yun Chong’s wide sleeves condensed mid-air into a Black Dragon, rolling amidst the clouds, opening its bloody mouth, pouncing towards Li Chen.

Seeing Yun Chong launching an attack first, Li Chen did not hesitate, stepping into the void, with lotus blooms at every step.

At the same time, the True Yuan within him quickly connected the Big and Small 36 Circuits, gathering like converging rivers in the palm of his hand.

Then, through his palm, it burst forth fiercely.

This palm strike was like an ancient beast, a violent silhouette, overwhelming mountains and seas. Chaos rocks pierced through space, stirring a thousand waves of snow.

"Boom!"

A resounding collision echoed through the sky.

Around them, wind and clouds changed, Heavenly Thunder roared, leaving nothing untouched.

Even the solidified space could not withstand such a violent impact, collapsing here and there.

"Trample, trample!"

"Trample, trample!"

At the moment of collision, Li Chen and Yun Chong’s figures simultaneously retreated explosively.

Moreover, both retreated about a thousand feet, resulting in no advantage gained.

This first clash ended with neither side gaining an upper hand.

Both sides in the battle had wins and losses, neither gaining any advantage.

However, their expressions were vastly different.

Li Chen’s expression remained unchanged, undisturbed.

Whereas Elder Yun Chong’s heart was stirred like a raging sea.

It’s known that he is a Mahayana Divine Monarch.

In terms of cultivation, he outmatched Li Chen slightly.

Yet unexpectedly, it ended up this way.

Even Elder Yun Chong was surprised, let alone his disciple Hei Guang and the spectators below; their level of shock was conceivable.

After the wave of shock, Elder Yun Chong suddenly clapped and laughed.

"Good palm technique, worthy of the name monstrous genius. However, it was but a simple test by me just now, next, I shall show you what realm suppression means, what the power of a Divine Monarch is?"

Through the previous test, Li Chen noticed that Elder Yun Chong’s strength might be slightly stronger than Wu Badao, who had just recently advanced to the Mahayana realm.

However, compared to God Monarch Yunlong, he is far inferior.

Just now, that attack, although Elder Yun Chong didn’t use his full power, he utilized seven to eight parts.

If he used some cards, it wouldn’t be difficult to kill him.

Now, Li Chen wasn’t worried about being unable to kill him.

The concern was if Elder Yun Chong, seeing no good outcome, decided to flee; that would be problematic.

Regardless, this old fellow is a genuine Mahayana Divine Monarch.

If he insists on escaping, given his current combat strength, it’s hard to keep him.

Moreover, once Yun Chong escapes, he will surely notify his Sect Leader senior brother God Monarch Yunlong.

By then, if two Mahayana Divine Monarchs come for revenge, it truly becomes cumbersome for him.

After all, now the Golden Crow isn’t here.

Relying only on Taotie, Red Tiger, and Jiao Long, it’s difficult to tackle a Mahayana Divine Monarch.

Thinking of this, Li Chen firmed a thought in his mind.

Since Yun Chong has come willingly, no matter what, he must be retained this time!
