Rebirth of the Supreme Immortal Emperor

Upon hearing Li Chen's provocative words, Bach felt as if something was stuck in his throat, choking him hard.

Although their Divine Turtle Tribe was far superior in overall strength compared to the Azure Dragon Tribe, they were after all fighting on enemy territory this time.

If they chose a group battle, it would certainly escalate the situation. There were only five hundred people from the Divine Turtle Tribe who came this time, and facing the numerically superior Azure Dragon Tribe, they were sure to suffer a great loss.

Moreover, the purpose of their visit was not to annihilate the Azure Dragon Tribe, but to deliver a final ultimatum on behalf of their Clan Leader.

And a single combat suited their intentions just fine. Not only could it prevent the situation from escalating, but it could also give the Azure Dragon Tribe a warning, killing two birds with one stone.

With this in mind, Bach strode forward, disdainfully shouting, "I will single combat with you!"

Before his words had faded, he took a step forward, and the ground beneath his feet began to crack like a spider web, unable to withstand the force of his stomp.

Seeing this, the people of the Divine Turtle Tribe shouted and cheered for him.

The faces of the Azure Dragon Tribe darkened.

Bach was equivalent to a member of the Human Clan with Golden Core cultivation, and he had received part of the Divine Turtle's totem inheritance. His defensive power was exceptionally strong.

On the other hand, Li Chen hadn't even formed his Golden Core yet, which put him a whole major level behind Bach.

Any sighted person could see that in this contest, Li Chen was undoubtedly doomed to lose.

"Divine Envoy, let me confront this Bach!"

Klu, worried that Li Chen's defeat would bring disgrace to their Azure Dragon Tribe, volunteered to face Bach, speaking to Lian Hongshang.

However, Lian Hongshang didn't even glance at Klu, only coldly replying, "No need, I believe in him."

Although Klu wasn't convinced, Lian Hongshang's status as a Divine Envoy, the spokesperson for the Divine Totem, was exalted. Even as the incumbent Clan Leader of the Azure Dragon Tribe, he could not afford to go against her wishes.

"You're weak, you attack first!"

Bach looked at Li Chen with a provocative face and laughed coldly.

Li Chen also returned a cold smile, saying lightly, "If I make a move, you won't get the chance to!"

Seeing that Li Chen, a mere member of the Human Clan, didn't take him seriously at all, Bach became furiously enraged.

"The audacious human, you are courting death!"

Bach's words had not yet settled when he suddenly raised his palm and slammed it forward.

His palm strike was ferocious, like a tidal wave crashing onto the shore, bringing thousands of waves as it barreled toward Li Chen.

Li Chen remained standing in place, unmoving like a mountain.

Seeing this, everyone present was shocked.

"Could this insignificant human actually be so frightened by Commander Bach's domineering palm strike that he has become stunned?"

"Haha, the Azure Dragon Tribe is truly desperate, utterly foolish. It looks like this territory will be ours, the Divine Turtle Tribe's, before the spring of next year!"

The people of the Divine Turtle Tribe chatted away without any restraint. They were even discussing how to handle the female slaves after they captured the Azure Dragon Tribe.

There were even some who were audacious enough to begin secretly coveting Lian Hongshang.

Although these barbarians couldn't see Lian Hongshang's stunningly beautiful face, her slender and graceful figure still left them enchanted.

However, in the next instant, the smiles on their faces suddenly solidified.

Bach's punch landed on Li Chen's Life Gate at his chest, but Li Chen continued to stand his ground, without even trembling. Apart from a few wrinkles in his clothes, there was no other damage.

"How is this possible? With Commander Bach's palm strike, even a Big Barbaric Bull could be smacked to death on the spot!"

The people of the Divine Turtle Tribe immediately let out an incredulous gasp of shock.

"What's this?"

Bach's pupils also shocked him; though he did not put forth his full strength, he still used nearly ninety percent of it. Plus, he certainly landed that palm slap on Li Chen.

But why did his attack have no effect, as if striking cotton?

Li Chen nonchalantly brushed off his clothes and sneered mockingly, "Hey, is that really all the strength you have? It doesn't even tickle. Did you skip a meal before coming here?"

Hearing Li Chen's provocation, Bach became enraged and let out a beast-like roar into the sky, clenching his fingers into a fist and unleashing his full, tenfold power towards Li Chen's chest.

The momentum of the punch was like thunder tearing through the heavens.

"Boom!"

The iron fist, powerful enough to kill a grown barbaric bull, once again slammed into Li Chen.

This time, Li Chen looked down at the fist on his body and laughed disdainfully, "Now I can be sure, you definitely didn't eat enough!"

"Ah, you despicable bastard, I refuse to believe I can't kill you!"

Bach, completely infuriated and with eyes bulging, swung his fist at Li Chen once more.

With each punch fiercer than the last, but Li Chen stood "calm and collected in the face of the tempest."

Everyone was dumbfounded, the whole place silent, their faces in utter disbelief.

All eyes were on the two combatants.

Li Chen remained unyielding, cool and composed.

Whereas Bach, several times bulkier than Li Chen, was panting heavily from exhaustion.

Li Chen took a moment to stretch, then said coldly, "You've thrown so many punches at me, dare you to take one from me?"

No sooner had he spoken than Li Chen moved like a released rabbit, his fingers enveloped in lightning, clenched into a fist, and tore through the air with a thunderous roar.

Bach caught sight of Li Chen's ferocious punch and yelled out in alarm.

"Divine Turtle Shield!"

The Divine Turtle Shield, a Divine Skill taught by the Totem Divine Turtle to some elite disciples of the Divine Turtle Tribe. Once activated, it could make the body as impregnable as a rock, rendering the user undefeatable.

Seeing the opponent use a defensive Divine Skill, Li Chen's pupils flashed sharply, emitting two barely noticeable beams scanning for weaknesses in the Divine Turtle Shield as if they were X-rays at a security check.

Soon enough, he spotted a hairline fracture on the flank, so fine as to be invisible under the bright golden glow.

"Hmph, watch my fist smash your damned shell!"

"Boom!"

The heavy punch thundered out, and the low rumble of thunder exploded fiercely. The wind raged, and the ground beneath Bach's feet, along with the surrounding rocks, cracked apart in an instant.

"I am protected by the Totem Divine Turtle of my tribe; you, a mere human, cannot harm me, cannot harm me!"

Bach's face twisted in deranged ferocity as he began to rant wildly.

Li Chen grimly sneered, "Oh, is that so?"

As he spoke, he swiftly withdrew his fist, pulling back the force of the punch.

Then, just as a "boom" sounded, the Divine Turtle Shield in front of Bach shattered like broken ice, dispersing with the wind.

When he looked down again, his chest sported a ghastly, bloody hole, where his heart had been pulverized to pieces.

"This, this, this can't be..."

Before he could finish his sentence, his towering body fell thunderously to the ground.

Li Chen dusted off his hands and sneered coldly, "When facing me, Li Chen, there's no such thing as impossible!"
