The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms Chapter 3361 - 3356: Eating the Loss?_1

Yang Chen, unmatched along his journey, stepped into the Pure Spirit Secret Realm like a child just starting to talk facing a grown-up.

The spectators were left in awe, and instantly, they didn't need to observe anymore to gauge Yang Chen's power.

Setting aside everything else, should they try the same feat, they'd find it tough to conquer the initial four trials.

Certain individuals even struggled with the fourth trial alone.

Yet Yang Chen breezed through without effort. He smoothly cleared every trial and reached the fourth one. Displaying such skill, nobody could doubt that he had exceeded the boundaries of the Heaven-Separation Realm.

At this point, numerous people were convinced Yang Chen had truly gone beyond the Heaven-Separation Realm and realized he possessed some hidden techniques.

Jiang Qifeng, Yin City, and the other observers furrowed their brows with grave looks. They all recognized Yang Chen's exceptional might, and his latest display had them utterly speechless.

Just the Nine-Star King appeared to grapple more with this reality. After all, if he attempted it himself, would he manage to complete the first four trials so swiftly?

He lacked any assurance of achieving that!

Still, he soon drew in a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and sneered inwardly, “Why should I fret? Yang Chen’s skills merely exceed the Heaven-Separation Realm, same as mine. He’s likely just showing off with his edge in the earlier trials, so he’ll falter in the upcoming ones.”

With that in mind, the Nine-Star King kept his gaze locked on Yang Chen, anticipating the outcome of the fifth trial.

Undeniably, the fifth trial posed no challenge for Yang Chen, whom he conquered with ease!

Now, having tackled the fifth trial, Yang Chen swiftly moved into the sixth one in mere moments.

In that instant, Yang Chen scanned the area around him.

It resembled a subterranean metropolis, yet souls dotted the landscape throughout the city.

Unlike the Yin souls from the Netherworld, these spirits were remarkably pure. One could spot diverse types—armored souls wielding keen blades as if they were commanders, ethereal old Taoists resembling immortals, and even ferocious demon beasts.

All these spirits differed from typical ones, enveloped in pristine Laws. Clearly, Dao Ancestor Ye Shan had refined them all.

Yang Chen had to acknowledge Dao Ancestor Ye Shan’s profound knowledge in reshaping souls and grasping Soul Rules.

In their original state, these spirits weren’t particularly strong; even if mighty during life, their post-death essences would barely retain a fraction of their former glory, perhaps just one percent.

But after Dao Ancestor Ye Shan’s modifications, they now could contend with experts at the Heaven-Separation Realm.

The key detail was that these were merely the flawed creations.

“Dao Ancestor powerhouses are genuinely fearsome...” Yang Chen murmured.

With imperfect results reaching such heights, how formidable must the perfected versions be?

Dao Ancestor realm...

Yang Chen’s face grew grave.

Though he found himself in the Pure Spirit Secret Realm now, his foes weren’t limited to the Heaven-Separation Realm’s simplicity. Based on the present circumstances, attaining the Dao Ancestor level remained distant for him...

Yang Chen let out a quiet sigh, his craving for greater power intensifying. For the moment, at least, he couldn’t bring back Gu Mingyue, nor ensure Zhang Xuelian’s liberty.

“Souls... Dao Ancestor Ye Shan crafted these spirits cleverly, yet unluckily, they’ve crossed paths with me!” Yang Chen shook his head.

While Soul Rules excelled in forging and refining spirits, Life and Death Laws dominated in annihilating and dominating them.

Against Life and Death Laws, these spirits stood utterly vulnerable!

Yang Chen strode steadily through the sixth layer, deploying the azure blueprint encircling his form as before.

As the azure blueprint unfurled, Yang Chen’s Life and Death Laws subtly permeated his domain, enveloping the advancing souls.

More than a dozen spirits, influenced by Yang Chen’s Life and Death Laws, lost their stability and started to waver, fighting to hold their shape.

Yang Chen voiced a gentle astonishment, “Evidently, the sixth layer’s spirits prove challenging. My Life and Death Laws didn’t dispatch them right away. Still, they can’t withstand me. Better for you spirits to yield without resistance.”

Upon amplifying his Life and Death Laws, the sixth layer’s spirits dispersed like mist.

This sight astonished the viewers.

Merely gliding through the first five layers with ease might be dismissible, but handling the sixth layer just as effortlessly was tougher to swallow.

It proved somewhat difficult to believe.

For the sixth layer marked the threshold testing if a Heaven-Separation Realm cultivator neared that realm’s pinnacle.

Yang Chen ought to have faced significant hurdles in navigating this layer.

In that manner, Yang Chen advanced to the seventh layer.

This layer swiftly captured everyone’s focus.

As the seventh layer served as the pivotal benchmark to assess if a Heaven-Separation Realm individual had genuinely eclipsed that realm’s pinnacle!

Right then, Yang Chen examined the seventh layer’s spirits and gave a nod, “The seventh layer’s spirits appear more problematic. I’ll start with Life and Death Laws to test them!”

Yang Chen lightly extended his palm, letting Life and Death Laws blanket the space.

Yet, as Life and Death Laws extended, Yang Chen’s eyes tightened since the Laws’ impact proved quite subdued.

The seventh layer’s spirits resisted being quelled by Life and Death Laws on the initial try.

Moreover, it looked like subduing them with Life and Death Laws, even with full effort from Yang Chen, would demand considerable strain.

“Does it stem from Dao Ancestor Ye Shan’s Soul Rules? As layers progress, the Soul Rules’ enhancements and fortifications on the spirits deepen, rendering it progressively harder for my Life and Death Laws to eradicate them outright,” Yang Chen pondered.

Observing Yang Chen face some hurdles, the external spectators exhaled in relief.

“What’s happening to Yang Chen? Has he hit a snag?”

“Did he exhaust his hidden moves?”

“Tough to tell. Yang Chen’s seamless run through prior layers stemmed from simpler spirits there. Beyond the seventh layer, outcomes are unpredictable!”

“The seventh layer acts as the key gauge for exceeding the Heaven-Separation Realm’s pinnacle. Yang Chen’s current toil suggests he may not live up to his reputation.”

The spectators buzzed with chatter, relishing this development.

Ultimately, witnessing a near-mythical character turn into a laughingstock appealed to all.
