The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms Chapter 3305 - 3300: Eating the Law-Infused Giant Egg_1

Yang Chen easily spotted the annoyance etched on their faces, despite their careful attempts to conceal it. Given his advanced cultivation stage, his skill in interpreting expressions had far outstripped what he could manage in his earlier days.

Furthermore, these individuals hadn't fully concealed their emotions deliberately.

He realized his earlier statement had likely provoked them somewhat, and he could readily deduce the cause.

This situation left him somewhat exasperated, since he hadn't considered the implications fully. His claim held true, though; he preferred solitude and saw little value in teaming up with others.

With the group pressing him for answers, Yang Chen had no option but to reveal the facts: "My merit level stands at five."

Upon hearing this, Hu Kui and his four companions, who had originally schemed to mock and humiliate Yang Chen, showed subtle shifts in their expressions. They had uttered those remarks earlier with the aim of belittling him. After all, as a mere level four merit holder fresh to Dragon Pattern Mountain, how could he act so boldly?

If you're a dragon, coil yourself tightly; if you're a tiger, crouch low.

Unexpectedly, Yang Chen proved remarkably capable, attaining level five merit. It was worth noting that their squad had lingered here for tens of thousands of years, boasting just three level four merit holders, while only Hu Kui had managed level five.

A trace of awkwardness colored Hu Kui's features, and he instinctively suspected Yang Chen of fabrication. Yet, verifying such a detail proved simple. Yang Chen had no reason to deceive, especially since exposure would only cost him dignity.

For cultivators at the Heaven-separated Realm, preserving dignity ranked supreme.

In that instant, the shrewd Hu Kui chuckled as though no irritation had ever surfaced, declaring: "Brother Yang Chen truly excels for someone his age. Few among us Heaven-separated Realm cultivators exist, and encountering one offers a prime chance to share insights."

Thus, Hu Kui and his group engaged Yang Chen in conversation.

As they talked, they swapped notes on cultivation methods, and soon enough, Hu Kui and the rest departed.

Yang Chen made no effort to detain them, allowing their exit without protest.

After their departure, a couple of cultivators trailing Hu Kui couldn't suppress their fury: "Captain Hu, this Yang Chen acts far too haughtily. Freshly arrived at Dragon Pattern Mountain, and he rejects our team outright? His tone drips with arrogance? Does he truly prefer isolation? He overestimates himself greatly."

"Quiet down. This fellow has hit level five merit, proving his real strength. Though we're unafraid of clashing with him, during this pivotal time, we should prioritize securing the Jiyu Essence and steer clear of needless conflicts," Hu Kui responded.

The Heaven-separated Realm cultivators reluctantly dropped the matter and trailed after Hu Kui.

...

Gazing toward the path Hu Kui and his companions had taken, Yang Chen recognized their unfavorable view of him, yet he dismissed it without concern.

Hu Kui's crew posed no genuine threat to him.

Having dismissed them, Yang Chen settled into a cross-legged position and immersed himself in tranquil meditation.

Two days into his meditation, Yang Chen suddenly recalled a detail and retrieved a massive egg-shaped item from his Demon God Tower.

Only upon extracting the giant egg did Yang Chen glance around uncertainly, a sense of bewilderment washing over him.

For he sensed the giant egg had grown marginally bigger than previously.

The change escaped ordinary sight, but at his present cultivation, even minor surface alterations in an item registered clearly to him.

The giant egg had unquestionably expanded, leaving Yang Chen perplexed.

"Wait, I placed the Calamity Sphere from Calamity City beside this giant egg—where has it vanished to?" Yang Chen exclaimed in surprise.

He searched his Demon God Tower thoroughly, confirming the Calamity Sphere's complete absence.

"Divine Slaying Spear, emerge," Yang Chen commanded.

The Divine Slaying Spear bounded out from the Demon God Tower, chuckling, "Young Master, what's the matter?"

"Did you observe anything odd between the giant egg and the Calamity Sphere? Why has my Calamity Sphere vanished?" Yang Chen inquired.

In a puzzled voice, the Divine Slaying Spear replied: "Vanished? Young Master, I'm clueless about that—it's unrelated to me."

"I'm asking whether you witnessed anything," Yang Chen pressed, growing impatient.

The Divine Slaying Spear giggled in response, "Young Master, I was occupied savoring the King Divine Tool you provided. How could I spare attention for that? By the way, Young Master, I've grown bored with King Divine Tools. I won't demand Ancient Essence Cold Iron or the like, but perhaps switch to a few Emperor Divine Tools now and then."

Yang Chen's lips twitched, "Return inside—you dare crave Emperor Divine Tools? Try pilfering some Ancient Essence Cold Iron from Unparalleled Way Daozu's forces and watch if it doesn't spoil your taste."

The Divine Slaying Spear burst into laughter, endured Yang Chen's rebuke, and retreated into the Demon God Tower.

Unable to resist, Yang Chen questioned the other Emperor Divine Tools about any events within.

When queried, the Heavenly Punishment Ancient Zither spoke hesitantly, "Young Master, I witnessed it."

Yang Chen prompted, "What occurred?"

"The giant egg remained inactive. The Calamity Sphere vanished by its side, and afterward, the giant egg swelled considerably," the Heavenly Punishment Ancient Zither explained.

This revelation deepened Yang Chen's gravity.

He had long regarded this giant egg as profoundly enigmatic.

From the outset, it had partially devoured his Power of Laws, though he had set it aside without further reflection.

Reflecting now, Wanhua Ruo had urged him to safeguard the giant egg in those days.

Yang Chen pondered whether the giant egg had consumed the Calamity Sphere much like it had his Power of Laws.

After all, the Calamity Sphere harbored the Law of Life and Death, albeit less refined than the Gates of Life and Death.

Yang Chen mulled it over briefly before deciding to conduct a test.

He produced the Space Talisman he had crafted in his spare time and positioned it before the giant egg.

Should the giant egg truly ingest laws, the partial laws within this Space Talisman would surely meet the same fate.

The outcome emerged swiftly.

No sooner had the Space Talisman been set down than the giant egg drew it in, leaving behind a shriveled, lifeless scrap of paper. Every trace of space energy had been utterly drained.

Meanwhile, the giant egg appeared even more enlarged than earlier.

This discovery prompted Yang Chen to reflect intensely.

An entity capable of devouring laws to expand in size? Such a phenomenon lay beyond anything he'd encountered. What's more, his spacetime laws typically resisted ingestion by others. Even formidable devourers of laws would falter instantly against his strongest variants.

Yet this giant egg could absorb them seamlessly, merging them into its form!

"Incredible..." Yang Chen drew a sharp breath involuntarily.

He found it impossible to determine if this giant egg represented fortune or misfortune for him.

Yang Chen refrained from casually supplying it with laws. A misstep could prove detrimental.

A pang of remorse struck Yang Chen, tracing back to Wan Huaruo as the source.

Back then, he hadn't dwelled on it, but in hindsight, he regretted not acting swiftly to subdue Wan Huaruo at the onset.
