Golden Giant Palm

It was like the sky was tearing apart, like the earth was roaring. The terrifying sight pressed down on every immortal's heart. But before they could even think, the pressure from the shockwave descended like the sky falling. Except for a few like the Jade Emperor, a large number of immortals were all pinned to the ground.

"Hmph!!"

The Jade Emperor stood up and waved his arm. The world-ending pressure immediately vanished. The immortals lying on the ground felt their bodies lighten, finally letting out a sigh of relief.

"Such a capable individual, you must not be an unknown nobody!" The Jade Emperor coldly gazed at Chen Tong in the water. "Speak, who exactly are you?"

Chen Tong was stunned by the Jade Emperor's question at first, but quickly became arrogant. He clasped his hands behind his back, his face filled with pride, his heavenly might no less than the Jade Emperor's!

"The dignified Lord of the Three Realms, and there are things you don't know?" Chen Tong sneered dismissively. "Jade Emperor, you are a rather failed Lord of the Three Realms."

"Slap!!"

Queen Mother Niangniang stood up in anger. "How dare you! To disrespect heavenly might like this, even if you are an ancient great god, this place will not tolerate you today."

"Hehe!" Seeing Queen Mother Niangniang's anxiety, Chen Tong became even more disdainful. He casually glanced at her and said, "Truly protective of your husband! But neither of you, taking turns, can do anything to me. Aren't you afraid of sticking your tongue out saying such big words?"

"You..."

Queen Mother Niangniang angrily pointed at Chen Tong, about to lash out, when the Jade Emperor quickly stopped her. This scene made all the immortals exchange bewildered glances!

Within the Three Realms, it was truly rare for someone to speak to the Jade Emperor and Queen Mother like this. Who exactly was this guy? With Golden Immortal cultivation, yet possessing such heaven-defying methods. Someone like this shouldn't be unknown.

"Within the Three Realms, those who can break my Five-Thunder Divine Method are all above Saint level. Yet your Golden Immortal cultivation is undeniable. Therefore, the only explanation is that you possess some divine artifact of the Heavenly Dao." The Jade Emperor looked at Chen Tong indifferently. "Is that so?"

The Jade Emperor's voice was steady and gentle, yet it carried an unoffendable heavenly might. Hearing this, all the immortals suddenly understood!

Chen Tong remained silent, not denying it. He did indeed have something on him, but it was far more powerful than any divine artifact of the Heavenly Dao. Just as he was about to speak, a cold voice echoed in his mind: [Ding, congratulations to the host, Human Emperor Way progress: 60%]

"What?"

Chen Tong's brow furrowed. After so much time, the progress was only 60%. What was he supposed to do? Waiting any longer might lead to unforeseen changes.

Seeing Chen Tong's silence, the Jade Emperor became even more convinced of his guess. A hint of greed flashed in the depths of his eyes.

Since the end of the Ancient Era, divine artifacts of the Heavenly Dao had become fewer and fewer. Now, only a handful remained in existence. To have one appear right before his eyes, he couldn't let it go.

"Little friend, how about we make a deal?"

The Jade Emperor's perverted address stunned all the immortals. Chen Tong was also taken aback. They had been on the verge of conflict just moments ago, and now they were talking about a deal?

"You say it!" Chen Tong was neither humble nor arrogant!

"Hand over what you have to me, and I will let you leave. I guarantee that no one within the Three Realms will trouble you."

"Tch!" Chen Tong sneered. "As if I can't leave if I don't hand it over."

The Jade Emperor's expression turned cold, and his eyes narrowed. "If that's the case, then I can only take it myself." As soon as he finished speaking, golden light began to emanate from his body, like waves of energy. It appeared gentle, but everyone knew this was the Jade Emperor's golden body cultivated over countless years, and his strength gained over countless years.

Chen Tong's expression gradually became serious. He knew the Jade Emperor was getting serious. With his current Golden Immortal cultivation, standing in this Skywater, he didn't know if his life would be in danger. To be honest, he had no confidence at all.

"Uh... Benefactor, the Jade Emperor seems to be angry. Wh-what should we do?" Marshal Tian Peng collapsed on the ground, so terrified he was beside himself.

"This damned System, what's the progress? Is it done yet?" Chen Tong cursed furiously in his heart.

[Ding, congratulations to the host, Human Emperor Way progress: 90%]

"Damn it, can't you be faster... Holy crap!"

"Boom~~"

As Chen Tong was urging the System, a golden palm tens of meters wide slammed towards him. Caught off guard, he could only summon the Heavenly River Water to forcefully block the giant palm! When the palm fell, it stirred up thousands of giant waves. Marshal Tian Peng, standing nearby, was already trembling with fear.

"What! He can actually withstand the Jade Emperor's Ten Thousand Zhang Golden Palm?"

"Yeah, it's too incredible. What kind of divine artifact of the Heavenly Dao is this guy hiding?"

All the immortals knew that this palm strike from the Jade Emperor contained the power of countless years of cultivation, power that belonged to himself, not Dao techniques. Even so, it still didn't kill him in one blow.

The Jade Emperor was also surprised that Chen Tong could withstand the power of one palm strike, but his expression quickly returned to calm. Golden light continuously flowed into the giant palm from his body. Beneath the palm, Chen Tong's Blood Essence churned, as if a mountain was pressing down on an ordinary mortal. Gradually, he knelt down.

"As expected of the Jade Emperor, it seems I underestimated you!" Chen Tong's skin had already cracked with bloody marks. If this continued, he might explode and die!

Just as he was about to collapse, a cold voice sounded in his mind: [Ding, congratulations to the host, Human Emperor Way mission complete.]

An earth-colored imprint quickly merged into Marshal Tian Peng's crown. The next second, he, who was lying on the water, suddenly emitted a dim, glowing light all over his body. He only had time to feel an inexhaustible power surge through him before he let out a roar towards the sky and erupted.

A massive pillar of light shot up into the sky, scattering the giant hand suspended above his head. In the next second, he miraculously disappeared into the pillar of light, his whereabouts unknown.

"Now's the chance, hurry and escape!" Chen Tong muttered, quickly summoning a well and jumping into it, also disappearing into the Skywater.

The immortals stared blankly at this scene, taking a long time to react!

"What was that giant pillar of light just now?"

"I don't know. I only heard Tian Peng roar, and the pillar of light appeared."

The Jade Emperor's expression was extremely grim, his hand in his sleeve trembling slightly. After taking a deep breath, he coldly ordered, "Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, I now order you to lead one hundred thousand Heavenly Soldiers and Generals, along with Nezha, the Four Heavenly Kings, the Nine Luminaries Star Lords, the Twenty-Eight Mansions, and numerous Divine Soldiers and Heavenly Generals down to the mortal realm. Even if you have to turn the Three Realms upside down, you must capture that brat for me."

"Yes!" Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li responded. After a three-second hesitation, he asked again, "Your Majesty, what about that monkey and Marshal Tian Peng? How should they be dealt with?"

"Capture them, capture them all for me." Although the Jade Emperor was the supreme ruler of all laws, his state of mind was clearly unbalanced at this moment.

In the mortal realm, on the East Victory Divine Continent, on an island, Chen Tong emerged from the sea!
