The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms Chapter 3329 - 3324: Mysterious Process_1

Xingtong's eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a trace of astonishment.

She had assumed Yang Chen was simply arrogant beyond reason, yet he displayed such extensive knowledge. This implied he fully understood her capabilities, yet he remained utterly composed and unperturbed!

Her face grew icy as she declared, "Since you're aware of that, how dare you address me in such a manner? It looks like you're truly weary of life!"

Yang Chen offered a faint smile in response, "Fellow Daoist Xingtong, perhaps you've got it wrong. I stated it plainly because you're no match for me!"

These words landed like a thunderclap, resounding fiercely in the minds of all present.

After a momentary silence, the Insect race members erupted in mocking laughter, as though they'd just heard the most ridiculous jest imaginable.

In earlier times, Xingtong herself might have joined in the ridicule. Yang Chen's claim struck her as utterly presumptuous and blind to boundaries.

Yet, for an inexplicable reason, when he uttered those words earlier, a shiver of unease stirred deep within her soul.

This sensation caused her to pause, reluctant to dismiss Yang Chen too lightly!

Her intense stare fixed on Yang Chen as she gestured with her hand, commanding the insects beneath to cease their amusement.

Upon receiving Xingtong's cue, the Insect race members dared not defy her and promptly shut their mouths, silencing their chuckles.

Xingtong locked her eyes on Yang Chen and spoke gravely, "Fine then. As the Insect Queen, countless years have gone by. Every assault I've faced came from foes far superior to me. No peer has ever dared to challenge me so openly. Yang Chen, you're the pioneer. Claiming I'm no match for you? Ha, what nonsense. I'll grant you an opportunity, but this isn't the place for battle. Let's head outside."

"No problem," Yang Chen replied with steady calm.

Hearing his swift agreement, Heng Ye's face shifted to one of deeper gravity. Bao Lu, meanwhile, shuddered and urged, "Yang Chen, what's going through your head? Aren't you aware of the Insect Queen's might? She commands every insect in the Cave Mansion, plus endless swarms of her kind across the wasteland. You still intend to clash with her?"

Yang Chen glanced back casually and grinned, "I'm fully aware of everything."

Bao Lu's slender frame quivered. In her view, Yang Chen had lost his mind completely, utterly insane.

She wasn't alone in that assessment. Xingtong shared the sentiment.

Xingtong figured this human had descended into madness, but even a lunatic's provocation demanded her full retaliation. Such was the sacred dignity of an Insect Queen, never to yield.

With that resolve, Xingtong unleashed her presence, a regal dominance radiating outward in every direction.

"My children, come with me!" Xingtong commanded with a piercing cry.

This formidable pressure served as a bold provocation, aimed squarely at Yang Chen to demonstrate her prowess.

Xingtong's aura wasn't alone; it was joined by the overwhelming might of her vast insect legions!

Yet Yang Chen stood solitary against it all.

Even so, confronting Xingtong's crushing aura, he merely curled his lip in subtle scorn, a mere smirk. Abruptly, a horrifyingly intense aura of his own surged forth, erupting right after hers.

This force expanded like a relentless flood from distant horizons, or a ferocious gale that none could withstand!

As it swept through in an instant, every self-proclaimed powerhouse felt profoundly insignificant. Helplessness gripped them from the core!

At the epicenter of Yang Chen's domineering aura, Xingtong found herself utterly cowed in mere moments!

"The Heaven-separated realm... at its peak?"

Xingtong's eyes bulged in shock.

Assessing the pinnacle of the Heaven-separated realm remained imprecise, but surpassing it marked one as formidably potent.

Even in a grand sect, such elites were scarce, scarcely inferior to the Heaven-appointed realm.

Xingtong couldn't confirm if Yang Chen had attained that peak, but to her, even the Heaven-separated realm's zenith fell short of threatening her supremacy.

Her insect race would never retreat merely due to a formidable adversary!

"Excellent, you've lived up to my expectations. Let's go!" Xingtong bellowed, "Hun Yu, watch over Heng Ye and Bao Lu."

"Yes!" The formidable figure named Hun Yu answered with deference.

Xingtong pivoted and departed, leading a massive contingent of insects, while leaving only Hun Yu to stand guard.

Yang Chen trailed after her without a second's delay.

As they exited, Bao Lu bit down on her shell-like teeth in profound worry. Yang Chen's earlier aura had been impressive, though aimed primarily at Xingtong. She remained uncertain, convinced that the Insect Queen outmatched any equal in existence.

This belief was etched firmly in her thoughts!

Yang Chen proved no different!

Anxiety and concern churned within her, myriad worries pressing down, yet she saw no way to alter the course.

All that remained was to endure the wait.

This suspense stretched across an entire day and night!

Throughout that span, Bao Lu detected brutal combat echoes rising from the desolate expanse beyond the Cave Mansion.

Such clashes stirred the heart with dread, their intensity palpable through the mere clamor.

Soon enough, though, the noises began to fade.

With the silence settling in, it became clear the confrontation had concluded.

Still, victory and defeat eluded all knowledge, shrouded in enigma. Even hours after the battle's close, Yang Chen and Xingtong had only recently reentered the Cave Mansion.

Both returned unscathed in vital ways, bearing only light injuries, nothing lethal.

Upon their arrival, Yang Chen wore his usual serene smile, as if the ordeal had been trivial.

Xingtong, by contrast, bore a grave demeanor, and a closer inspection revealed traces of dread and alarm beneath her stern facade.

The root of this dread and alarm was plain to discern.

For all could observe that Xingtong's unease stemmed from her repeated glances toward Yang Chen.

"My Queen, did you... prevail or fall?" Hun Yu, the vigilant guardian, inquired of his queen with evident confusion.

"Speak of this no more!" Xingtong snapped in rebuke.

At her words, the devoted Hun Yu quaked, struggling to accept what he'd heard.

Could the unbeatable Xingtong truly utter such a phrase?

Heng Ye and Bao Lu, too, grappled with profound bewilderment!

No soul fathomed the events that transpired between Yang Chen and Xingtong!
