The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms Chapter 3314: 3309: Investigate This Person!_1
Previously on The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms...
Outside, the crowd of spectators continued to swell rapidly.
“This fellow truly managed to conquer the Sixth Palace…”
“Yet the Seventh Palace's challenges surpass those of the Sixth. Crafted specifically for Heavenly Fate Realm cultivators, its trials match the prowess of those experts. There's no way this young man can overcome the Seventh Palace.”
“He's exhausting his options. Those consecutive massive palms failed to overpower the puppets. It looks like he'll struggle to hold on much longer.”
The crowd buzzed with chatter, each person forming their own conclusions deep down.
Yang Chen inwardly sighed at the sight of these relentless puppets.
Failing to contain them using the Five Elements Turn Heaven Palm truly posed a major issue for him. Should they break free from the Five Elements Turn Heaven Palm, the danger would shift entirely to him.
“Looks like I'll have to unleash my ultimate technique.” Yang Chen whispered: “I've crafted this ability myself, yet I've never deployed it until now…”
He'd always refrained from employing this technique in the past. Especially in a single realm, he avoided it against Sky-separating Realm foes.
For unleashing it would utterly devastate that whole realm with its power!
“Ready yourself, Slaughter God Spear? Time to get into the action.” Yang Chen declared.
The Slaughter God Spear laughed lightly: “I've been prepared ages ago. Still, Young Master, this technique pushes me to my limits. Once it's over, I'll endure some real agony.”
…
The assembly of watchers outside kept expanding, and the arrival of a peak Sky-separating Realm powerhouse filled the air with reverence.
Still, most believed the Seventh Palace marked the end for Yang Chen. That much appeared clear right then.
Yet soon enough, such notions faded from their thoughts.
Suddenly, a radiant glow erupted forth.
In that instant, observers caught Yang Chen gripping a mighty spear, before visibility vanished completely.
Since everyone stood beyond the Ice River Secret Realm, they relied solely on eyesight. Blocked views prevented any soul-based detection.
For a brief while, confusion reigned over what transpired.
The only certainty was that once the light faded away.
Yang Chen had vanished from the Seventh Palace, advancing directly to the Eighth!
His piercing presence felt utterly profound and elusive.
“He conquered the Seventh Palace!”
Shock etched deeply across the faces of the spectators. From the instant Yang Chen triumphed over the Seventh Palace, words escaped them entirely.
“How on earth did he pull that off?”
Countless minds wrestled with this very puzzle.
Mu Fei, Fairy Yun Xiu, and Fairy Qing Wan pondered intently as well.
Now, the trio showed no rush to depart, with Fairy Yun Xiu keeping silent and compliant. She held back any words.
Yang Chen's power exceeded even her senior sister's, an undeniable truth.
“Just who is this individual…” Mu Fei breathed out.
Without pause, Yang Chen pressed onward into the Eighth Palace.
The masses speculated whether Yang Chen might forge yet another legend.
Within the Eighth Palace, quiet hung briefly before chaos of combat ensued, culminating in a stunning flash akin to the prior one…
Details of the events remained a mystery, yet following that luminous surge, Yang Chen stepped out from the Eighth Palace, revealing a truth that bordered on horrifying.
He had triumphantly cleared the Eighth Palace.
Accomplishing this with Sky-separating Realm cultivation, the revelation hit like an explosive shockwave, shattering the composure of all present.
“How could a Sky-separating Realm cultivator possibly conquer the Eighth Palace?!”
“Even early Destiny Realm experts can scarcely make it to the Eighth Palace!”
“What's his identity? He's unfamiliar to me. From which origins does he hail?”
Various influential figures debated heatedly, while simultaneously, within a modest, weed-overgrown dwelling at Fang Xuan Villa, a white-haired elder sat motionless. But then, as though detecting a shift, his eyes slowly parted.
A spark of wonder gleamed in his gaze, as if struck by profound astonishment!
…
Meanwhile, Yang Chen reached the Ninth Palace, confronting its freakishly potent puppets.
“Every one of these puppets possesses Heavenly Fate Realm might!” Yang Chen nearly broke out in sweat. He unleashed his domain, feeling utterly adrift like a feather, pursued relentlessly by over a dozen puppets, utterly defenseless.
“Guess this is where it concludes!”
Yang Chen gave a faint headshake, resigned. He'd hoped to advance more, yet the Ninth Palace clearly exceeded his capabilities.
Even so, contentment filled Yang Chen, thanks to the over 30,000 Jiyu Essence granted by the Eighth Palace.
Beyond that, a Supreme Treasure awaited, igniting even greater thrill within him.
“Time to depart.”
With a flick of his sleeve, Yang Chen exited, pulling back from the palace entirely.
Upon exiting the palace, the puppets halted at once. Given the palace's compact size, a careful retreat posed virtually no peril.
However, withdrawing signified forfeiting further trials, and until the next Secret Realm activation, the palace's primary entrance would stay sealed.
Such risks held no appeal for Yang Chen. Post-exit, he headed directly for the Secret Realm's outflow.
Upon his return, Yang Chen found himself once more in Fang Xuan Villa.
Emerging back into Fang Xuan Villa, Yang Chen jolted at the throng of watchers by the exit. Hundreds strong, their presence sent chills across his skin.
He'd assumed minimal exposure this round. Beyond the Secret Realm, only a handful like Mu Fei lingered, showing little interest and poised to depart soon.
Precisely the low profile he desired, leaving him pleased.
Yet unexpectedly, this horde of elites materialized.
The abrupt influx of such formidable figures truly unnerved Yang Chen, urging him to flee the scene without delay.
He promptly saluted: “Forgive any disturbance I've caused, all of you. Urgent duties call me away, so I'll take my leave.”
With those words, Yang Chen gestured and sped off.
Elusive as he was, the assembly of elites only mobilized after he'd already vanished.
“What!”
Mu Fei groaned briefly: “Had I realized, I'd have made a stronger effort to detain him sooner. How does he vanish so swiftly?”
Fairy Qing Wan had remained quiet throughout, yet now she commanded firmly: “Mu Fei, Yun Xiu, assist me in uncovering this Yang Chen's true identity. I require every detail about him.”
