The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms Chapter 3380 - 3375: Cloud Bow Palace_1

With You Xingtong providing support, the task of hunting down two standard Spirit God clansmen became significantly less arduous for him.
Brandishing the God-slaying Spear, Yang Chen unleashed his Law, his figure blurring as he instantly struck one of them down for good.
Had these Spirit God clansmen maintained their resolve and mounted a desperate defense, they might have endured a while longer.
After all, he had recently exhausted several trump cards, including his Way of Ten Thousand Laws and the Slaughter God Spear, leaving him far from his peak condition.
Fortunately, these Spirit God clansmen were paralyzed by fear and opted to flee, which simplified the process of eliminating them.
With only one remaining, Yang Chen dispatched the final Spirit God clansman on the spot after a brief struggle.
Once that was settled, Yang Chen turned his gaze to the skirmish between Xingtong and the last two Spirit God clansmen from within the shelter of his domain.
Outside the domain, Xingtong would likely have struggled against such opponents, but the environment inside shifted everything in her favor.
Having completely lost their courage, the two Spirit God clansmen were now desperate to escape, allowing Xingtong to seize the initiative.
Observing this, Yang Chen chose to remain an onlooker.
Proud warriors cherish their dignity; while he wouldn't hesitate to step in for two Royal Spirit Gods, interfering against two common ones might imply that he doubted Xingtong’s capabilities.
Xingtong herself would surely refuse his intervention if offered.
Consequently, Yang Chen simply expanded his domain slightly.
The intensified domain exerted crushing pressure on the unsuspecting pair, pinning them under an immense burden.
Meanwhile, Xingtong found her agility enhanced, enabling her to command her swarm of insects with ease to suppress the trapped Spirit Gods.
In the span of a single cup of tea, Xingtong secured a total victory, swiftly eliminating both opponents before triumphantly returning to his side.
The feat of downing two Spirit Gods in one go was something she hadn't dared dream of previously, yet she had accomplished it with stunning ease, leaving her exhilarated.
"Haha, Yang Chen, your domain is incredibly effective. I definitely want to collaborate with you more in the future. With this kind of support, I feel like I'll be unstoppable in the Forbidden Spirit Palace," Xingtong laughed.
Yang Chen replied calmly, "First, you must attain the Heaven-appointed Realm. Di Zun has managed to get away, and it’s unclear whether Han Tian possessed the map. We must prioritize finding it."
Upon hearing this, Xingtong’s expression turned somber. Although killing Han Tian was a major triumph for Yang Chen, Di Zun's escape remained a troubling complication.
The duo approached Han Tian’s remains, where Yang Chen gestured, causing an independent spatial pocket to materialize above the corpse.
With a clean strike, Yang Chen breached it, revealing a cache of various items.
His expression turned grave as he inspected the contents.
A treasure trove of goods lay before them; though scattered, they were genuine, with various Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, crafting components, and Emperor Divine Tools that promised significant boons for his cultivation.
Yet, the map was nowhere to be seen.
Could their luck truly be so poor?
If they missed the map now, finding another lone Royal Spirit God in the future would be nearly impossible.
Just then, Xingtong pointed and cried out, "Yang Chen, look!"
Yang Chen followed her gesture and, to his astonishment, spotted a map hovering in plain sight.
He unfurled it and examined the details, his eyes lighting up with mounting joy.
The document clearly depicted the layout of the Forbidden Spirit Palace—the very destination they had been tirelessly hunting for!
"Haha, this is undoubtedly the map of the Forbidden Spirit Dao Palace. It reflects the immense power of the Spirit God Race, even if the map only covers half of the palace!" Xingtong sighed.
Yang Chen nodded, studying the chart with uncertainty.
A vast portion of the map remained blank, suggesting that the previous Spirit God explorers had only charted half the structure. The remainder stayed a mystery.
One could not simply assume their second journey would be easier; if the first half was documented lightly, the subsequent uncharted zones likely possessed dangers that would limit their exploration to perhaps a third of the remaining area.
"Let's check if the Cloud Bow Palace is marked here!" Xingtong urged.
Yang Chen knew the Cloud Bow Palace was the key to unlocking Xingtong's potential, providing the necessary artifacts for a Heaven-separated Realm cultivator to ascend to the Heaven-appointed Realm.
Scanning the document, Yang Chen pointed, "It’s marked right in the center. The Cloud Bow Palace is here."
Having the map was a massive advantage, as the Spirit God Race had left clear markings and labels.
"According to this scale, our current position should be here, near the Town River Mountain Range," Yang Chen theorized.
Xingtong examined it closely, nodding, "We are quite near the Cloud Bow Palace. Haha, scouting for this map was a brilliant move. We have our route now. Let’s move!"
Seeing Xingtong’s eagerness, Yang Chen felt a similar urgency. Her advancement to the Heaven-appointed Realm was instrumental to his own evolution of the Way of Ten Thousand Law Dao Embryo.
Thus, guided by the map, the two departed the mountain range and set a path directly toward the Cloud Bow Palace.
The map saved them from aimless wandering, allowing them to travel much faster; within two days, they arrived at their destination.
Halting, both of them surveyed the massive palace looming ahead.
The structure pierced the clouds, its sheer scale nothing short of spectacular. They approached with caution, choosing not to act impulsively.
A single glance confirmed that the edifice rising before them was undeniably the Cloud Bow Palace.
"We reached the right spot." Xingtong, checking the map one last time to be certain, exclaimed with excitement.
Yang Chen replied in a measured tone, "There aren't many people guarding the entrance. My soul perception only detects a few scattered cultivators."
Xingtong chuckled, "You’re naive to think many people possess such maps. I wouldn't have anticipated a frantic crowd waiting at the gates of the Cloud Bow Palace anyway."
"That makes sense. In that case, there is no reason to linger. Let us enter," Yang Chen decided.
