The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms Chapter 3266 - 3261: Ripening the Jiuyou Emperor Grass_1
Previously on The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms...
Anger flashed across Fairy Moon Fu's face the moment she caught Yang Chen's words. Though she realized he was intentionally trying to stir her up, those words still left her feeling deeply unsettled inside.
"Hmph, let's see if your techniques can truly catch me," Fairy Moon Fu declared as she lunged straight at Yang Chen.
The entire arena burst into chaos in that split second.
All spectators understood that the long-awaited clash was now kicking off for real.
The thrilling showdown to determine the superior force between Fairy Moon Fu and Yang Chen had finally come!
Right then, Yang Chen swiftly turned his palm over and slammed it down toward Fairy Moon Fu.
As Yang Chen's palm closed in, Fairy Moon Fu's lips curved up just a bit. She recognized its formidable might from a previous encounter, so her plan was set: evade it entirely and avoid any direct clash.
Yet, just as she moved to slip away, Yang Chen lifted his hand abruptly and unleashed a spacetime seal. Bolstered by the Domain of Earth, it locked Fairy Moon Fu's movement right where she stood.
A shiver ran through Fairy Moon Fu, totally clueless about the sudden shift. In an instant, she sensed herself cut off from everything around her!
The very next instant, the Five Elements Turn Heaven Palm crashed down, pinning Fairy Moon Fu so firmly she couldn't budge an inch.
Snapping back to reality, Fairy Moon Fu felt like it was all some bizarre illusion, refusing to accept that Yang Chen had beaten her in such a straightforward way.
Was this the full extent of his power? His ultimate might?
Suddenly, Fairy Moon Fu realized how terrifying Huan Ye Ming Wang truly was, having managed to endure against Yang Chen for that extended period!
"I... admit defeat," Fairy Moon Fu said, her stubborn side showing a little, but deep down she recognized her loss.
A soft sigh escaped her lips as disappointment filled her heart. Her aim mirrored Broken River's—to gauge the divide between herself and Yang Chen.
She had figured the difference was merely around five levels, yet reality proved it far wider than words could capture.
It loomed vast and utterly overwhelming!
With the gap laid bare, pressing the battle further held no meaning.
As Fairy Moon Fu conceded, nearly every elite onlooker doubted their ears for a moment. It felt like a dream to them, the outcome too astonishing to grasp.
Just like that...
It's finished?
Fairy Moon Fu, the one everyone revered and believed might stand toe-to-toe with Yang Chen, had fallen to him without enduring even a single strike?
Broken River and Madame Autumn Plum drew in sharp breaths, certain that Fairy Moon Fu stood no chance against Yang Chen. Still, they never imagined his victory would come so effortlessly and rapidly.
Half an hour or the span of a tea's brew—all those estimates now rang hollow.
Merely a handful of breaths had ticked by, and the fight was done.
Meanwhile, Absolute Yi Daozu observed the confrontation closely.
Once the result emerged, Absolute Yi Daozu shook his head in resignation: "Yang Chen's power is truly bottomless. No surprise he could take down King-level Spirit Gods."
...
Yang Chen noted Fairy Moon Fu's surrender and offered a slight bow: "Fairy Moon Fu, thank you." "I really wanted to let you win," Fairy Moon Fu murmured with a pout, her eyes on Yang Chen shifting entirely from their earlier fire.
If her stare had once burned like a fierce predator's, it now softened to that of a gentle young doe.
She appeared utterly compliant and endearing in a way words couldn't capture, accepting defeat and dropping any thought of dragging things out.
Yang Chen gave a faint smile and replied, "If there's no more to discuss, I'll head out. I've been gone from the sect too long; time to return to the Divine Night Sect."
Hearing that, a flicker of reluctance crossed Fairy Moon Fu's expression. "Ah? Leaving already?"
Even after losing to him, her admiration for Yang Chen had surged. She hoped he'd linger in the sect a bit longer, not vanish so soon.
Yang Chen responded, "Fate will bring us together again if it's meant to be."
With the exchange wrapped up, Yang Chen bounded over to join his disciple, Willow Stain.
"Alright, Willow Stain, let's get moving," Yang Chen announced.
During their journey, Yang Chen had already shared his ties to the Divine Night Sect. Willow Stain felt no qualms about it, whether Yang Chen hailed from the Divine Night Sect or Heavenly Melody Mountain—both stood among the top three forces in the Taiyuan Star System.
What stunned him far more was Yang Chen's prowess. To sum up Yang Chen's display, only "jaw-dropping" fit the bill.
Overpowering a peer in a single blow— even without much knowledge, he'd grasp the significance.
He came to see that he'd likely claimed an extraordinary master.
...
Thus, Yang Chen guided Willow Stain straight back to the Divine Night Sect, the trip passing without much delay.
Yang Chen preferred to stay under the radar, so his arrival at the Divine Night Sect stirred little fuss. That said, numerous powerhouses caught wind of it and treated the event with grave importance.
In less than a day, word of Yang Chen's homecoming raced through the Divine Night Sect, drawing extra focus from the Heavenly Fate Realm masters fresh off their missions. They zeroed in on every detail about him.
They knew full well that Yang Chen held the coveted Seven-colored Colored Glaze Mine they'd longed for.
Each of these Heavenly Fate Realm figures schemed in their minds, plotting routes to claim that Seven-colored Colored Glaze Mine.
Back at the sect, Yang Chen first arranged for Willow Stain's placement. With Ji Yue Shuang's aid, the process went smoothly. As his personal disciple, granting Willow Stain official Divine Night Sect status posed no issue.
Once Willow Stain's setup was complete, Yang Chen shared some spear skills with him in private for his personal growth.
For himself, he dove right into secluded cultivation.
His venture into the Nine Dragons World had yielded several priceless items. Topping the list was the enigmatic giant egg, whose secrets he still hadn't unraveled, followed by the Jiuyou Emperor Grass.
"Just sensing the qi from this Jiuyou Emperor Grass shows its immense value. Consuming it solo would boost my cultivation massively. Sadly, the Jiuyou Emperor Grass isn't ripe yet, so I need a method to speed its ripening," Yang Chen pondered inwardly.
This called for his innate technique to accelerate the growth of spiritual blooms and rare herbs.
He'd long mastered such arts, starting with the Nature Spirit Technique, which he'd refined into the Jade Spirit Art over time.
That said, after his Wood Dao Intent advanced to encompass the Five Elements, Yang Chen rarely touched the Jade Spirit Art.
Since broader principles swallow up narrower ones, the Jade Spirit Art fell into the category of lesser paths beneath the grander framework.
Mastering the Wood Law allowed hastening the ripening of spiritual blooms and rare herbs, but the pace and scope always lagged behind what Yang Chen could achieve with his superior Five Elements Laws.
