The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms Chapter 3247 - 3242: Success, Tenth Floor_1
Previously on The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms...
As Yang Chen advanced, the faces of numerous individuals within the Grand Abyss Palace turned grave.
Though many still lacked clarity on Yang Chen's power, they recognized his prior exploits as remarkably impressive and not something to overlook.
With Yang Chen moving ahead now, nearly all those present shifted their gazes toward him.
King Ming Cheng, in particular, remained with hands clasped behind his back, scrutinizing Yang Chen closely. A faint tension lingered briefly, yet he quickly issued a cold snort.
Considering his own feats, where countless Heaven-separated Realm experts failed to advance, how could Yang Chen possibly succeed? Ridiculous.
Upon stepping forward, Yang Chen cast a glance at Wan Huaruo, offered a slight nod, and proceeded to the stele of the Snake Clan Ancestor, delivering three respectful bows.
His demeanor balanced perfectly—not excessively deferential or arrogant, genuine without pretense. Truly, he held no acquaintance with the Snake Clan Ancestor.
Approaching the Stone Snake once more, Yang Chen promptly gathered his palm power, unleashing a powerful strike in the next instant.
In that blow, he channeled the might of his Five Elements Turn Heaven Palm into his hand.
Rumble!
Thunderous booms reverberated across the area, echoing for an extended duration.
With dust swirling upward, Yang Chen squinted toward the Stone Snake he had just hit, a wave of surprise rising in his mind.
Earlier, he had sensed something familiar about this Stone Snake—not from encountering a likeness before, but its unyielding toughness called to mind the Asura Soul Bodies.
Indestructible and remarkably tough.
Yet at the outset, he lacked full certainty.
Now, however, delivering the strike to the Stone Snake produced a sensation eerily akin to clashing with an Asura Soul Body, leaving him truly astonished.
Coincidence felt improbable; a definite bond must link this Stone Snake to the Asura Soul Bodies.
While Yang Chen mulled over these thoughts, the Stone Snake abruptly twisted, expelling a jade sphere.
The jade orb tumbled outward, creating a splash upon dropping into the pool.
At this sight, many elites of the Grand Abyss Palace drew in sharp breaths. Yang Chen had replicated King Ming Cheng's success by producing a jade sphere.
This naturally stirred deep unease, as previously, solely King Ming Cheng had managed such an outcome. None had outdone him.
Yet now, Yang Chen matched it exactly.
"It's a jade sphere too, just like King Ming Cheng's," the three from Broken River exclaimed with delight.
Indeed, it matched precisely.
To Wan Huaruo, though, the matter proved far less straightforward.
Was it truly identical?
Wan Huaruo had observed intently, discerning the distinction with sharp clarity.
Although the variance in jade spheres appeared minor, after years of scrutiny, she understood well that Yang Chen's recent strike far exceeded King Ming Cheng's in potency.
This fellow...
Wan Huaruo found herself increasingly intrigued by this reserved figure.
"May I ask your name, Daoist Friend?" Wan Huaruo inquired gently.
Yang Chen answered, "Yang Chen."
Wan Huaruo noted the name in silence and smiled, "Brother Yang Chen, please proceed."
Without pause, Yang Chen advanced and entered the Heavenly Crystal Snake Spirit Tower.
Inside the Heavenly Crystal Snake Spirit Tower, the surroundings shifted dramatically, shrouded in haze and the scent of battle.
Still, to Yang Chen, the scene appeared unaltered. His primary focus lay on the trials this tower's realm might present.
In his surprise, he spotted hordes of Stone Snakes slithering across the floor, hissing as they surged toward him.
"Stone Snakes?" Yang Chen stood with hands behind his back, his face impassive.
The Stone Snakes moved without great speed, so he lashed out with a swing, smashing into their forms directly.
Each Stone Snake crumbled beneath his assault one after another.
After dispatching these Stone Snakes, Yang Chen sensed an oddity, yet his composure held as he pressed on to the Second Floor.
Reaching the Second Floor, he faced even greater numbers of Stone Snakes than below, though their pace stayed unchanged.
Regarding their resilience, Yang Chen shattered it effortlessly with a single blow.
Then came the Third Floor, Fourth Floor, Fifth Floor...
Yang Chen navigated them with ease. These Stone Snakes offered no resistance against him, falling to his ruthless techniques.
Slowly, comprehension dawned on Yang Chen.
No surprise that only those revealing their full might could have their ultimate outcomes gauged roughly from the jade, gold, or stone ejected by the Stone Snakes beyond the Heavenly Crystal Snake Spirit Tower.
For within the tower, the Stone Snakes posed no danger through velocity. Their true prowess resided in durability.
Without deploying an utterly dominant force to demolish these Stone Snakes, their sluggishness would eventually turn hazardous against you.
Remember, prolonged delays summoned ever more Stone Snakes throughout the space. Once their quantity hit a critical mass, even superior speed or protection would lead to being overrun by the horde.
Seeking bypasses clearly proved impractical.
Thus, the external Stone Snakes' power assessment nearly predicted the levels cultivators might attain.
With this insight striking him, Yang Chen charged onward unrestrained. His rapid, unyielding strikes carried him smoothly up to the eighth floor.
As Yang Chen arrived at the Eighth Floor, various cultivators began perspiring with tension.
King Ming Cheng felt the strain most acutely among them.
King Ming Cheng grew ever more bewildered. He recalled precisely the effort and time he expended, nearly exhausting himself to claim the Eighth Floor.
Yet Yang Chen required scarcely half that duration to reach the Eighth Floor, appearing far more composed besides.
Only Wan Huaruo could monitor Yang Chen's progress within the Heavenly Crystal Snake Spirit Tower.
"His power proves truly impressive. He ought to match my own height. I wonder merely if he might push one floor beyond." Wan Huaruo pondered with real interest.
By now, Yang Chen had conquered the Ninth Floor and stepped into the tower's ultimate level, the Tenth Floor, equaling King Ming Cheng's record.
"This Yang Chen truly impresses..." Broken River murmured.
He had always been unsure of King Ming Cheng's exact might and harbored some dread. But presently, Yang Chen's prowess clearly rivaled or exceeded it.
Furthermore, judging by Yang Chen's current drive, he appeared poised to advance further to greater heights.
All those assembled possessed keen insight, impossible to miss such signs.
Sure enough, events unfolded as anticipated.
Ninth Floor, Yang Chen, one day!
Just one day! Yang Chen triumphed and ascended to the final Tenth Floor of the Heavenly Crystal Snake Spirit Tower!
