The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms Chapter 3186 - 3181: The Low of Mo Xin Lake_1
Previously on The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms...
Yang Chen was well aware of Mo Wanchou’s malicious intent, yet he hadn’t imagined the man would be so bold as to launch an assault in front of the crowds gathered at Mo Xin Lake.
There was no time for reflection, however. The strike from the Ten Power Rod carried the genuine, devastating force of a Heavenly Fate Realm Expert.
This single blow shattered his attempt at spacetime teleportation and completely obstructed his path of retreat, crashing down toward him with overwhelming pressure.
Gripping the Ten Power Rod, Mo Wanchou pushed its strength to the absolute limit, ensuring Yang Chen had no possible way to flee.
Yang Chen tried once more to activate his Space-Time Dao Intent, only to find every route sealed off by the crushing power of the Heavenly Fate Realm.
He felt a surge of resentment that his current state prevented him from accessing his peak power. Had he been at full strength, Mo Wanchou and his Ten Power Rod would never have posed such a threat.
But regrets were useless now. He understood perfectly that a direct hit from the Ten Power Rod in his weakened condition would result in certain death!
“Yang Chen, I want to see how you can possibly escape now!” Mo Wanchou screamed with maniacal fervor.
Faced with this crisis, Yang Chen gritted his teeth. He glanced down at the depths of Mo Xin Lake and then back at the sky, which was filled with the rapidly descending might of the Heavenly Fate Realm.
“What? The local space has been isolated so that no one outside can witness this?” Yang Chen was momentarily stunned. “Impressive, Mo Wanchou. You’ve been orchestrating my murder for a long time.”
A choice had to be made immediately.
He could either endure the impact of the attack—where even a lucky survival would leave him falling into Mo Xin Lake—or he could leap into the waters of his own accord.
Yet, everyone knew that entering Mo Xin Lake was a death sentence!
“I have no other option.”
Realizing a decision was mandatory, Yang Chen didn’t hesitate. He dived headfirst into the waters of Mo Xin Lake!
A massive splash erupted, sending water flying in all directions as Yang Chen’s form vanished beneath the surface.
Upon seeing this, Mo Wanchou exploded into a fit of wild laughter. “This is the price for those who dare defy me! Yang Chen, you can only blame your own misfortune and lowly status. It is a shame the brat was so decisive; by drowning in Mo Xin Lake, he’s made it impossible for me to claim his treasures or Xuan Jie’s remains.”
Nearby, several Boundaryless cultivators belonging to the Grand Abyss Palace watched the scene in total shock. “Young, Young Master, you...!”
“What about me? Did any of you witness me slaying Yang Chen? Or perhaps you have something you wish to say?” Mo Wanchou’s voice turned low and menacing, his gaze filled with a murderous warning.
“No, we saw nothing at all.” Though these Boundaryless cultivators clearly disapproved of Mo Wanchou’s treachery, they lacked the power to oppose him and could only bow their heads in submission.
Mo Wanchou remarked icily, “Being clever will keep you alive. If you seek death, I can easily provide that as well. Remember this: Yang Chen was murdered by the foreign races. You will report that Yang Chen was too arrogant, attempting to hunt the Cloud-dwelling Clan alone after killing Xuan Jie, and ultimately fell into Mo Xin Lake.”
“The Cloud-dwelling Clan is responsible for Yang Chen’s demise!” the group quickly echoed.
Mo Wanchou laughed triumphantly.
To think someone dared to oppose him!
By falling into Mo Xin Lake, Yang Chen was surely finished. Even if he were dead, no blame would touch Mo Wanchou. He remained the top-ranked genius on the Daluo Celestial Stele, and the future of the human race belonged to him alone!
Little did Mo Wanchou suspect that Yang Chen remained both conscious and alive beneath the surface of Mo Xin Lake.
The moment he hit the water, Yang Chen had deployed the Space-Time Law, the Law of Life and Death, and several other laws to shield his body.
Despite being drained of energy and possessing less than a tenth of his usual power, Yang Chen was shocked to find that he could move through the lake freely while these protective laws were active.
“How can this be? Is it due to my laws, or is Mo Xin Lake simply not as lethal as the rumors suggest?” Yang Chen felt deeply perplexed.
As he observed his surroundings, he realized that most of his defensive laws were actually useless against the lake’s properties.
The moment his protective barriers touched the water, they were instantly dissolved and eroded away.
Only three of his most powerful Dao Intents offered any resistance.
Even then, the protection was only partial; the Five Elements and the Law of Life and Death were being slowly absorbed and turned into water by the lake itself.
It appeared that only the Space-Time Law could truly endure within the depths.
“The Space-Time Law?” Yang Chen muttered, feeling a sense of wonder.
He decided to conduct a test.
If the Space-Time Law was the only effective shield, maintaining the others would be a pointless drain on his remaining strength.
He systematically deactivated the other laws, confirming they provided little actual defense. When only the Space-Time Law remained, he found he could still navigate the water without issue. Yang Chen was now certain: Mo Xin Lake consumed all laws, with Spacetime being the sole exception.
“There isn’t a single corpse in this lake. Countless experts have perished here, including those with powerful divine bodies, yet not a trace remains. It seems that without my Space-Time Law, I would have been dissolved into nothingness by now,” Yang Chen mused, his eyes burning with a cold fury.
Once he returned to the shore, he would surely make Mo Wanchou pay dearly for this.
For now, however, he had to remain composed.
While he could survive the water and leave at any time, his energy was spent, and the threat of the Ten Power Rod still loomed above. He wasn't currently strong enough to face such a formidable weapon.
If he emerged now, Mo Wanchou would surely fight desperately to finish him off. It was wiser to stay hidden in the lake for the time being.
He could use this opportunity to investigate the mysterious lake while he recovered his Cultivation.
As he began his exploration, he suddenly noticed that the environment within Mo Xin Lake was incredibly unique. The concentration of law power here reminded him of the time he spent within the Barren Black Hole.
In what way was it similar?
The density of the Laws here was vastly superior to the world above.
The law density on Bi Shuangxing was already much higher than typical interfaces, making it a prime location for those below the Heavenly Fate Realm to cultivate. This was why so many cultivators braved the planet's dangers.
It was a paradise for Cultivation. Yet, when compared to the interior of Mo Xin Lake, Bi Shuangxing was like a child standing before a giant—the lake's density was dozens of times more potent!
