The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms Chapter 3356 - 3351: Uncle Qing’s Request_1

"Breaking through that barrier lets one rocket into the skies, instantly exceeding the Sky-separating Realm's power threshold and pulling off feats that typical Heaven-separated Realm powerhouses can't manage. By then, those who've gone beyond the Sky-separating Realm's ceiling can handily crush rivals at their level and take on several such foes without breaking a sweat—it's nothing out of the ordinary." Fairy Yun Xiu let out a heartfelt sigh, her gaze overflowing with desire.

She longs to emerge as a formidable powerhouse who breaks past the Sky-separating Realm's limit. The moment she does so, she'll eclipse her fellow Heavenly Fate Realm cultivators in the days ahead.

Yang Chen got the gist upon hearing this.

Yet, questions lingered about his own path, for he'd already vaulted beyond the Sky-separating Realm's boundary right after stepping into it, capable of battling multiple foes at that stage.

A hidden smile crept across Yang Chen's face.

It had to stem from his mastery of ten laws, plus those two supreme ones on top.

Without them, surpassing the Sky-separating Realm's cap so effortlessly would have been impossible.

"I see, thanks for clarifying, Fairy Yun Xiu." Yang Chen replied, clasping his hands in respect.

Seeing no resentment in Yang Chen, Fairy Yun Xiu exhaled in relief. She'd feared he'd harbor bitterness over her earlier harshness, a truly alarming prospect.

Fairy Qing Wan picked up next: "Brother Yang Chen's power has undoubtedly hit the Sky-separating Realm's peak. That's precisely why I'm here today. Few at the Sky-separating Realm match your prowess. I know it's bold to ask, but I can't hold out any longer. If I delay further, the King of the Netherworld might one day climb to Heavenly Destiny Realm heights, and I'll never close the gap in this life."

Witnessing Fairy Qing Wan's shift from arrogance to fragility, Yang Chen could empathize with her struggles.

Immense burdens weighed on Fairy Qing Wan's mind, fueling her fears and anxieties. Beneath that strain, doubts about toppling the King of the Netherworld kept dragging her down.

Touched deeply, Yang Chen reflected that a haughty figure like Fairy Qing Wan seldom sought aid. Yet here she was, laying it all bare to him.

"Does Fairy Qing Wan want me to confront the King of the Netherworld?" Yang Chen inquired, puzzled.

With Yang Chen onto her intent, Fairy Qing Wan didn't dodge: "Exactly..."

Yang Chen responded gravely, "Should the King of the Netherworld exceed the Sky-separating Realm's limit, his might will be formidable. I have no desire to make an needless foe of him."

"I realize this asks too much, but Young Master Yang Chen, please grant my plea. I'll pay whatever cost, no matter how steep." Fairy Qing Wan urged.

Tempted for real this time, Yang Chen held back from instant assent. "Fairy Qing Wan has laid it out so plainly, I can't just turn her down. As a Human Race member, battling the Netherworld is my obligation. That said, I need some clarifications first. Without them, I won't dive into this."

Fairy Qing Wan gave a wry chuckle at Yang Chen's wariness.

Most would leap at the chance to display their skills and agree right away, but not him.

Still, knowing his true caliber, how could she object? "Go ahead, Young Master Yang Chen." she prompted at once.

"Given your deep grudge against the King of the Netherworld and your position, rallying a handful of Heavenly Fate Realm masters for an ambush and slaying him shouldn't be tough," Yang Chen pointed out.

Fairy Qing Wan managed a bitter smile, "Do you suppose I haven't considered that, Young Master Yang Chen? Truth be told, I'd love nothing more than to end the King of the Netherworld myself. But my power falls short, forcing me to seek alternatives. Even if it shatters my pride, I'll push forward resolutely."

"Yet, taking down the King of the Netherworld proves far simpler in words than deeds. If I bring Heavenly Fate Realm experts to pursue him, he'd likely detect us beforehand and flee. Besides, he only shows up in certain hidden spots. There, any Heavenly Fate Realm arrival would alert the Netherworld's own at that level, tipping off the King immediately," Fairy Qing Wan explained.

Yang Chen nodded, grasping the dilemma.

Experts at the Heavenly Fate Realm were exceedingly scarce, so defenses against Sky-separating Realm intruders remained loose across realms, unlike for those at Heavenly Fate.

This explained the abundance of Sky-separating Realm ghost beings slipping into human lands, versus the rarity of their Heavenly Fate counterparts.

"That's one issue, and another is, even if I'm set on aiding Fairy Qing Wan against the King of the Netherworld, we'll need a proper chance. I can't trail after you without direction," Yang Chen added.

Noting Yang Chen's readiness to assist, Fairy Qing Wan offered a soft smile. "Rest easy, Young Master Yang Chen—I've mapped it all out. I figure you'll head to the Forbidden Spirit Palace too. We can team up then, and the King of the Netherworld is bound to join in. That way, you and I can zero in on him directly."

Yang Chen paused in surprise at this revelation, unprepared for Fairy Qing Wan's scheme to unfold that way.

It left him a bit thrown off.

At a loss for words momentarily, Yang Chen puzzled both Fairy Qing Wan and Fairy Yun Xiu, who couldn't fathom his reaction.

"What's the matter, Young Master Yang Chen?" Fairy Qing Wan asked, tension in her voice.

Flushing slightly with awkwardness, Yang Chen admitted, "Fairy Qing Wan, you've got it wrong. I'm not planning to visit the Forbidden Spirit Palace this round."

Naturally, he intended to go, but alongside Xingtong—a detail he kept under wraps from Fairy Qing Wan and the rest.

In this chat with her, denying any plans was his only option.

"What!" Fairy Qing Wan's frame shook, accepting his claim. "Young Master Yang Chen, why skip the Forbidden Spirit Palace? Do you realize the treasures waiting there? Your abilities would net you boundless gains. And if you aid me against the King of the Netherworld, I'll back you completely. On the Jiyu Essence, I promise fair treatment."

Facing the distraught Fairy Qing Wan, Yang Chen smiled ruefully. "It's not the Jiyu Essence bothering me, Fairy Qing Wan—you've misunderstood. I simply have my own plans and reasons. I'm afraid I can't help with the King of the Netherworld."

Disappointment flooded Fairy Qing Wan's eyes, a sharp pang of hope kindled then snuffed out in a flash—known only to her.
