The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms Chapter 3373 - 3368: Not Daring to Come Over_1
Previously on The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms...
As Yang Chen seized the Origin Essence, he glanced around and discovered he was encircled by unfamiliar cultivators.
Over twenty of them were present.
At a quick look, every one came from species Yang Chen hadn't encountered previously. Still, relying on details from old scrolls, he could approximately identify them as belonging to the Mountain King clan, which served as subordinates to the Spirit God Race.
"They arrived so swiftly." Xingtong positioned her hands behind her, radiating self-assurance, apparently undisturbed by the sight of more than twenty adversaries.
In reality, if she stood alone, regardless of her boldness, facing off against over twenty Sky-separation Realm masters simultaneously would prove unfeasible.
Yet, alongside the fiendishly mighty Yang Chen, she felt utterly secure.
For she understood!
Her own prowess was impressive, but Yang Chen's exceeded it by leaps and bounds.
Furthermore, Yang Chen's abilities were downright monstrous.
The Mountain King clansmen glared at Yang Chen and the Insect Race member with lethal hostility. As their attention moved to the Origin Essence, it looked like they had already plotted its shares among themselves.
"Insect Mother Fellow Daoist, we don’t want to fight you to the death, but you cannot protect this Origin Essence. If you know what’s good for you, hand it over sooner rather than later." A Sky-separation Realm cultivator from the Mountain King bellowed.
Clearly, he proved shrewd, recognizing the challenge in battling an Insect Mother authority. Victory might leave both parties gravely injured. Thus, he aimed to cow her into submission without combat.
"Insect Mother, we advise you to be sensible. Your Insect Mother Race is indeed powerful, but you don’t seriously think that you can take advantage of all of us, do you?"
Xingtong's lips curved into a smile, "Indeed, it would be hard for me alone to take advantage of all of you. However, I’m not alone."
"Not alone? Are there others with you? Insect Mother, don’t try to deceive us, our patience is limited." A Mountain King cultivator sneered with a mocking chuckle.
Xingtong let out a light laugh, knowing they had severely misjudged Yang Chen, seeing him as merely another of her bugs instead of recognizing his human cultivator identity.
Xingtong remained unbothered. She flashed an enchanting grin, "Yang Chen, there are too many of them for me to handle alone."
"I’ll just help you open the domain, you deal with the rest yourself." Yang Chen stated, hands folded behind him.
"Why?" Xingtong inquired, eyes widening in surprise.
Yang Chen responded steadily, "My strength is not suitable to be revealed so soon."
Xingtong felt a brief surge of irritation and deep dissatisfaction, yet she could do nothing about it. Who could match Yang Chen's overwhelming might?
Since he surpassed her in power, she lacked any ground to challenge his decision.
"Fine, fine, whatever you say." Xingtong replied in a languid tone.
The Mountain King cultivators exchanged confused glances.
"What are they talking about?"
"Who knows, but it seems like this Insect Mother doesn’t intend to hand over the Origin Essence. Since that’s the case, let’s not waste time on pleasantries and just kill her."
Though they preferred avoiding severe wounds in confronting the Insect Mother, with Xingtong's refusal to yield, they resolved to deploy their full strength, demonstrating their formidable might to her.
In a flash, more than twenty Sky-separation Realm Mountain Kings surged toward Xingtong.
Xingtong reflexively retreated a step and called forth her Sky-separation Realm insects.
Right then, a blue pattern abruptly materialized under Yang Chen's feet, spanning hundreds of square kilometers.
Instantly, every Sky-separation Realm Mountain King powerhouse found themselves ensnared inside.
Within this domain, the cluster of Sky-separation Realm experts couldn't budge even slightly, as though bound by a mystical technique that halted time itself.
"What a marvelous domain." Xingtong exclaimed, possessing some familiarity with Yang Chen's domain from her earlier defeat by it.
Over a dozen Sky-separation Realm insects had stood no chance against Yang Chen's dominance.
But now, this fearsome domain targeted not her, but the foes instead.
Against adversaries, it proved dependable and swift.
"You better finish them off quickly. My domain consumes a lot of power from the laws." Yang Chen advised.
"Alright, no problem." Xingtong beamed enchantingly, and with their exchange concluded, she launched herself forward.
In the span of an instant, Xingtong marveled at her remarkable velocity. She materialized beside her targets, and swiftly, several Sky-separation Realm masters fell to her strikes, unable to dodge in the least.
"What’s going on?" Xingtong wondered in confusion.
Yang Chen explained serenely, "Don’t be surprised. You should know that I am skilled in using the Space-Time Law. In this domain, space and time are completely under my control. They are limited by space-time and can barely move, but you are different. Your time has been accelerated by me, and your perception of time within the domain is completely different from theirs."
Naturally, Xingtong fully recognized Yang Chen's command over space-time, and it filled her with both astonishment and elation. His capabilities were profoundly addictive.
Should she merge with Yang Chen to produce an insect offspring, it might acquire his Space-Time Law Power.
Even a fraction of that inheritance would suffice.
Unfortunately, Yang Chen showed zero attraction toward her.
A touch of dejection washed over her, and she directed that frustration toward the Mountain King cultivators.
Until their final moments, the Mountain King powerhouses stayed ignorant of the reality, convinced Yang Chen was simply one of Xingtong's insects, unaware that he posed the genuine threat!
Once she eliminated the Mountain King powerhouses, Xingtong hurried back.
"Here’s your Origin Essence." Yang Chen offered one to Xingtong.
"There should still be one below!" Xingtong pointed out.
"This one is mine." Yang Chen declared.
Xingtong saw no point in disputing it, and she clapped her hands, "Now that we each have an Origin Essence, it will be much easier to lure the Spirit Gods. It’s just a matter of luck whether we can encounter a Royal Spirit God."
"No worries, we just need to keep searching." Yang Chen assured.
"You make it sound easy. By the way, I just thought of something. If we really do encounter a Royal Spirit God, will you or I be the one to lure them?" Xingtong questioned.
Yang Chen answered coolly, "Naturally, you will be the one to do it."
"Why?" Xingtong asked in bewilderment, "You’re the one who’s skilled in space-time, so you would be more suitable for luring them, right?"
Yang Chen shook his head, "I am indeed skilled in space-time, and I would be suitable for luring them. However, I worry that if I were the one to do it, those Royal Spirit Gods wouldn’t dare to chase after us."
