The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms Chapter 3295 - 3290: Luring the Snake out of its Hole_1

Having come to an agreement, Zhou Yiming fixed his gaze sharply and questioned gravely, "What exactly is Brother Yang Chen’s plan? How do you intend to attract all the Ghost Kings to this place?"

Yang Chen replied, "What level of disturbance do we need to create to draw all the Ghost Kings here simultaneously without raising alarms that might prompt them to summon reinforcements?"

This was precisely why he'd approached Zhou Yiming, since his grasp of the Spirit Fire World's present condition was clearly far inferior to Zhou Yiming's.

It was essential to extract some valuable insights from the man's words.

At these words, Zhou Yiming explained, "To pull all those Ghost Kings into one spot, a simple disturbance simply won't suffice. Cultivators from the Earth Spirit Hall frequently venture into this realm, yet even when reports surface of one or two Ghost Kings falling, the rest show no concern. They swiftly handle the aftermath, and vacancies get filled in no time. The only way to spur these Ghost Kings into action involves the Unwarranted Black Hole, the Gates of Life and Death, and this Calamity City."

Yang Chen inquired, "I’ve never understood, what is the purpose of building this Calamity City?"

Zhou Yiming responded, "I’m not entirely certain myself. Calamity City remains an enigma. I’ve probed into it for years without uncovering any truths. Still, it’s undeniable that the Netherworld holds Calamity City in high regard."

Yang Chen probed further, "If I destroy Calamity City, will all the Ghost Kings be drawn here?"

Zhou Yiming shook his head with a sigh, "I fear that would instantly alert the stronger Ghost Kings to contact their superiors. These Ghost Kings are extremely wary. Once, eleven Heaven-separated Realm Experts banded together to infiltrate this place and snag some gains. But they barely revealed themselves before the mighty Ghost Kings called in aid. Ultimately, just six of those eleven Heaven-separated Realm Experts escaped alive. It was a heartbreaking ordeal."

Yang Chen's brow creased at this revelation, "Then what’s our next move?"

His primary worry centered on reinforcements arriving. Heaven-separated Realm foes didn't daunt him, but if Heaven-appointed Realm powerhouses got involved, things could get complicated.

He was confident his present cultivation level could handle early Heavenly Fate Realm stages without issue, yet avoiding such clashes seemed wiser.

Zhou Yiming continued, "We don’t have to demolish Calamity City outright, but we can cause a stir inside it. I’m aware that the heart of Calamity City’s structure is a Calamity Sphere! This Calamity Sphere serves as the foundation for erecting the whole Calamity City. Should it vanish, the building process would halt right away."

Zhou Yiming added, "If Calamity City’s construction gets stalled or interrupted, the Ghost Kings will undoubtedly rally their troops. The situation hasn’t spiraled out of control yet. Reporting it impulsively to higher-ups would pin the blame on them, inviting severe repercussions. Thus, they won’t risk alerting anyone."

Yang Chen pressed, "But will this approach lure every Ghost King here?"

Zhou Yiming mulled it over, "I can’t promise that. Gathering them all in one go might prove challenging. Yet, if these Ghost Kings fail to locate the Calamity Sphere, they’ll surely dispatch more forces to hunt it down. For now, no superior strategy exists."

Yang Chen nodded, "True enough, this seems like the best option available. We’ll proceed with it."

Zhou Yiming cautioned, "I suspect snatching the Calamity Sphere won’t be straightforward."

Yang Chen asked, "Precisely where is this sphere located?"

Zhou Yiming answered, "The Calamity Sphere sits at the pinnacle of Calamity City. Brother Yang Chen will spot it immediately upon glancing over."

Yang Chen released his soul to scout the area.

Right in Calamity City’s heart stood a soaring tower piercing the heavens. Crowning its summit gleamed a dark orb.

This orb radiated an aura of utter desolation, releasing vast quantities of Ghost Qi that shrouded the entire realm.

Zhou Yiming warned, "Several Boundaryless Ghost Venerables stand guard over this sphere, surrounded by layers of restrictions, and perched so high up. Their vigilant souls render it nearly impossible to whisk it away undetected."

Yang Chen replied nonchalantly, "No issue at all, I’ll fetch it immediately," as he extended his hand in a summoning gesture.

With their exchange concluded, the Calamity Sphere vanished from the tower’s peak and materialized directly in Yang Chen’s grasp.

Zhou Yiming stood stunned by this arcane feat.

"Th-this!" Zhou Yiming gaped in astonishment, "Brother Yang Chen, how on earth did you pull that off?"

He’d anticipated Yang Chen might have a means to seize the Calamity Sphere, but he never envisioned it happening with such ease.

It took merely an instant.

"That’s a spacetime technique, though typical spacetime talismans couldn’t achieve this. Are you wielding the supreme law of spacetime?" Zhou Yiming’s eyes widened in shock.

Yang Chen merely grinned without elaborating, "I’ve secured the Calamity Sphere now. Once the other mighty figures notice its absence, they’ll launch a probe. Brother Zhou, we must conceal ourselves at once."

As soon as he spoke, Yang Chen seized Zhou Yiming and plunged beneath the earth, forming a secluded space to shelter them.

Ling Huan Sha and her companions held no relevance to him there; they possessed their own evasion tactics.

Just as Yang Chen foresaw, the Calamity Sphere’s vanishing plunged the whole of Calamity City into utter turmoil.

The Boundaryless Ghost Venerables assigned to protect the Calamity Sphere were utterly baffled. They couldn’t fathom how the Calamity Sphere had evaporated before their very eyes.

"The Calamity Sphere is gone; quickly notify Lord Scorpio!"

A horde of formidable entities rushed about in frenzy, leaping into immediate response.

Due to the Calamity Sphere’s loss, Calamity City’s construction ground to a reluctant halt.

Below ground, within the isolated domain Yang Chen had forged, he started examining the Calamity Sphere.

Yang Chen observed, "This Calamity Sphere is truly odd; its mysteries elude me for the moment."

Since no hints emerged, the Calamity Sphere had to be something exceptional, and retaining it could prove beneficial down the line.

With that in mind, Yang Chen tossed the Calamity Sphere toward the enormous egg and stored them side by side.

Next, he shifted his attention to Zhou Yiming.

By now, Zhou Yiming appeared somewhat restless and on edge.

After all, the scheme was underway, yet its success remained uncertain.

Yang Chen stated, "Brother Zhou, there’s a matter I’d like to inquire about."

Zhou Yiming replied with interest, "What is it that Brother Yang Chen wishes to know?"

Yang Chen asked, "Regarding Wan Tianyu’s daughter, the Saintess of the Aristocratic Families, Wan Qiuying—do you have any idea of her location?"

At this, Zhou Yiming sighed deeply, his features tightening as he shook his head, "I have no clue. In truth, during my enslavement, brief spells of awareness allowed me to discreetly monitor them. I’ve pieced together leads on various matters, but nothing ever surfaced about my niece Qiuying’s whereabouts. I’m in the dark about whatever the Netherworld folks have subjected her to."
