The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms Chapter 3196 - 3191: Zhang Xuelian’s Entrusted Dream_1
Previously on The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms...
Calamity King was forced to shift his focus in an instant. With a sudden movement, he barely managed to evade the lethal strike of the Nine Heavens Wind and Thunder Sword.
However, the assault from Expedition King followed immediately, compelling Calamity King to pivot back to defend himself. His tactics were insufficient to handle such a split in concentration, leaving him flustered and struggling to maintain his defense.
Yang Chen showed no intent of granting Calamity King any reprieve. As Expedition King launched his offensive, Yang Chen summoned a massive surge of Deathly Silent Black Wind, unleashing a chaotic barrage upon his foe.
At that moment, Calamity King felt a surge of despair. He had believed himself surrounded by allies, but the grim reality was that he stood entirely alone!
Overwhelmed by Yang Chen’s relentless bombardment, he cried out in desperation, "Come and help me quickly!"
Yet, there was no one to come to his aid.
Realizing the Deathly Silent Black Wind alone wouldn't crush Calamity King, Yang Chen manipulated the Nine Heavens Wind and Thunder Sword, locking its trajectory onto his target.
Calamity King’s pupils contracted in fear, but his instincts remained sharp. Faced with imminent peril, he managed to dodge the blade once more.
Now consumed by rage, Calamity King bellowed, "The three of you, have one of you stop maintaining the Formation and come help me!"
Calamity King understood that only the three Sky-separation Realm cultivators anchoring the Formation had the power to save him.
In his panic, he no longer cared if Yang Chen escaped; he could only focus on his own survival as he shouted his command.
One of the Heaven-separated Realm experts maintaining the triangular Formation had no choice but to break away, rushing forward to rescue Calamity King from his predicament.
But Yang Chen had foreseen this move. With a swift press of his palm, he used Spatial Suppression to freeze Calamity King in his tracks.
Back when he was at the Boundaryless Cultivation level, suppressing a Heaven-separated Realm expert was impossible. However, now that he had ascended to the Half-step Heavenly Leaving Realm, his enhanced cultivation allowed him to bind such a powerful foe for a fleeting moment.
It was during this critical window of Time-Space Suppression that the Nine Heavens Wind and Thunder Sword struck true, piercing through the enemy!
Even as life faded from his eyes, Calamity King could not believe he had been slain by Yang Chen while surrounded by so many Sect members.
It was his absolute confidence in his safety that had allowed him to act so arrogantly and claim that Yang Chen’s death was certain.
Who could have predicted that he would be the one to fall at Yang Chen’s hands?
Staring down at the lifeless body of the Calamity King, Yang Chen remarked coldly, "If you had kept your mouth shut from the beginning, maybe you wouldn’t be the one dead now!"
Calamity King died never realizing that his initial mockery of Yang Chen had sealed his fate.
With Calamity King dead and the triangular Formation shattered by the departure of the third cultivator, Yang Chen grasped the opportunity. He activated his Space-time Law, preparing for an immediate getaway.
In truth, today's struggle had seemed like a dead end, and he had braced himself for the worst. He hadn't expected that Calamity King’s overwhelming fear of death would inadvertently provide him with a path to survival.
Without that opening, escaping the intact Formation would have been an impossible task.
Now that the barrier was compromised, Yang Chen refused to let the chance slip away.
However, just as he prepared to vanish, three Sky-separation Realm cultivators suddenly manifested in the distance.
"I knew it would come to this, a bunch of useless trash. Yang Chen, where do you think you’re running!" These three Heaven-separated Realm experts had been lying in wait within the shadows. As Yang Chen’s first teleportation flash brought him near, they struck simultaneously with a powerful palm attack.
The strike targeted the exact spot where Yang Chen emerged. A massive palm, as heavy as a mountain and crackling like Heavenly Thunder, came crashing down with a deafening roar.
Had Yang Chen been at full strength, he might have withstood the blow, but his energy was nearly spent after the intense combat. The prolonged use of the Way of Ten Thousand Laws Embryo had pushed his body to its limits.
Forced to use his Law of protection to intercept the strike, Yang Chen was sent reeling backward, coughing up a mouthful of blood.
"Not good!"
Yang Chen’s soul trembled. He realized his situation was dire as his consciousness began to flicker.
A direct hit from a Heaven-separated Realm cultivator was not something easily endured.
"Reestablish the Formation, lock him inside!" one of the unknown Heaven-separated Realm experts commanded.
Despite his fading vision, Yang Chen knew that remaining passive meant certain death.
He gritted his teeth and, just as the Formation was about to close, he seized control of the bodies of Expedition King and the other two puppets, forcing them to collide in a chaotic, self-destructive distraction.
Using this brief window, he once again channeled the Way of Ten Thousand Laws Embryo to bolster his Space-Time Law!
With a sharp swoosh, his presence vanished from the area just before the Formation could be sealed, leaving no trace behind.
The Heaven-separated Realm experts left behind felt their scalps tingle with frustration. They scanned every corner with their divine sense, but Yang Chen was nowhere to be found.
Shock and dejection filled the experts. They knew they had failed once again, allowing Yang Chen to slip through their fingers.
...
Escaping through the Space-Time Law, Yang Chen knew he couldn't remain within this Plane. He fled toward the vastness of the Universe Starry Sky.
Upon reaching the void, he immediately summoned his Spirit Leaf Flying Boat. He manifested a spirit body to pilot the vessel toward the Distant Earth Star.
He was forced to delegate the task as his mind grew increasingly foggy, threatening to plunge him into unconsciousness.
The palm strike from the Heaven-separated Realm expert had caused severe damage. His protective laws had been failing, and his internal injuries were critical.
With a heavy thud, Yang Chen collapsed onto the deck of the Spirit Leaf Flying Boat and lost consciousness.
While unconscious, Yang Chen drifted into a vivid, strange dream.
In this vision, Zhang Xuelian was at his side, tending to him with gentle care. She watched over him as his wounds began to mend, and as she prepared to leave, she spoke to him.
"The Grand Abyss Palace does not rule over all the Ten Thousand Realms, but its power is rooted in the Heavenly Dao, making it far superior to the nearby Star Domain Interfaces. You were tracked so easily because you were standing directly within the gaze of the Heavenly Dao. The Heavenly Dao grants your coordinates to the observers of the Grand Abyss Palace. No matter how you mask your aura or change your face, you cannot hide from its sight!"
"The most effective way to remain undetected is to activate Law protection before crossing into an Interface. This can bypass the Heavenly Dao's scrutiny, though if you stay too long, you will eventually be found..."
As the guidance ended, Zhang Xuelian faded away, and the dream shattered like glass.
Yang Chen suddenly bolted awake.
Regaining his senses, he watched as the spirit body beside him dissipated and fused back into his being.
He looked around and confirmed he was still aboard the Spirit Leaf Flying Boat, drifting in an unknown region of the Interface.
Yang Chen shook his head, inspecting his condition. His injuries were still severe and far from healed.
However, the dream had felt incredibly tangible. The advice Zhang Xuelian gave was too specific to be a mere coincidence.
"Could Zhang Xuelian have utilized a secret technique to reach me through a dream?" Yang Chen wondered in amazement.
While such a feat would be impossible for most, he believed that Zhang Xuelian, as the Chosen One, possessed the power to achieve it.
