The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms Chapter 3392 - 3387: Disappearance of Asura Soul Body_1
Previously on The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms...
Time slipped away quietly.
Yang Chen’s refinement process was significantly faster compared to Xing Tong. The delay on Xing Tong’s end stemmed primarily from the corpse of King Feng Yin, a burden Yang Chen did not share, allowing him to maintain a much swifter pace.
While he waited for Xing Tong to conclude her work, Yang Chen diverted his consciousness into his personal space to inspect the Great Zhou Heavenly Asura.
Both the Demon God Tower and his Storage Bag possessed their own distinct, independent dimensions. However, these spaces existed on varying tiers of quality.
While certain areas were merely intended for storing inanimate objects, others were capable of sustaining living organisms. The interior of the Demon God Tower functioned at a higher caliber than the Storage Bag, yet it still paled in comparison to the expansive Universe Starry Sky inhabited by the most powerful entities.
Yang Chen had previously renovated the interior of the Demon God Tower, transforming it into a high-tier repository. He had meticulously balanced the cycles of spring, summer, autumn, and winter to perfectly mirror the requirements of a proper Heavenly Dao interface.
He felt quite impatient to observe the Great Zhou Heavenly Asura. The enigmatic link between the Spirit God Race and the Asura held endless secrets he was desperate to unravel. Having finally secured such a rare entity, Yang Chen had no intention of letting it slip from his grasp.
Yet, upon entering the sanctum, Yang Chen was struck by bewilderment.
The Great Zhou Heavenly Asura had vanished.
He struggled to comprehend the situation. The demonic beasts within the Demon God Tower would never dare interfere with the Asura, and no other entity possessed the capability to disturb it. Despite a thorough search of every corner, he found no traces of the massive soul body.
It was important to note that he had kept the Asura Soul Body and the Slaughter God Spear in separate chambers. Following the tower’s restructuring, he had created numerous isolated cells.
In this particular sector, he kept the Slaughter God Spear, the Heaven Scourge Ancient Qin, and an assortment of premium Emperor Divine Tools.
Naturally, neither the Slaughter God Spear nor the Heaven Scourge Ancient Qin would have disturbed the Great Zhou Heavenly soul body.
Immediately, Yang Chen demanded, "Slaughter God Spear, Heaven Scourge Ancient Qin, can you tell me the location of my Great Zhou Heavenly Asura?"
"Young Master, I am aware of it," the Slaughter God Spear chirped with a grin.
"Young Master, I know as well!" the Heaven Scourge Ancient Qin and the other Emperor Divine Tools that had sworn allegiance to him chimed in, tripping over themselves to curry favor.
"One at a time! Slaughter God Spear, you step forward first," ordered Yang Chen.
The Slaughter God Spear chuckled: "It was that mysterious giant egg you brought back, Young Master. Once the Great Zhou Heavenly Asura returned, it seemed to form a bond with the egg, hugging it quite affectionately. Shortly after, the Asura simply disappeared into it."
Yang Chen was taken aback, realizing he had all but forgotten about the mysterious egg tucked away in his storage.
He had originally promised Wan Huaruo he would look after the egg, but due to its elusive nature, he had neglected it, leaving it in the background. Only when he scavenged rare items like the Doomsday City Core—objects that might sustain the egg’s hunger—did he toss them into the space for it to consume.
He had never anticipated such a catastrophe. The artifact had actually devoured his captured Asura soul body.
Yang Chen looked toward the mysterious giant egg, a muscle in his cheek twitching as he felt a pang of profound loss.
He fully understood the immense effort required to secure the Great Zhou Heavenly Asura. The prospect of utilizing an Asura’s combat potential had filled him with anticipation. He had only just begun to master the intricacies of the Law of Life and Death, a skill enabling him to bind the Asura to his will for an extensive duration. Who could have foreseen that his prize would simply vanish into the recesses of this egg?
A cold chill ran up his spine, followed by a sharp ache in his chest. He turned his gaze to the Heaven Scourge Ancient Qin and prompted, "Continue. Do you have anything more to add? Your turn, Heaven Scourge Ancient Qin."
The Heaven Scourge Ancient Qin, flush with excitement, prepared to speak, only to suddenly falter.
Every detail he could have possibly shared had already been voiced by the Slaughter God Spear. What else was there to say?
"Young... Young Master, I have nothing to add. The Slaughter God Spear covered it all," the instrument admitted, feeling utterly dejected. It had hoped to flatter Yang Chen, but the Slaughter God Spear had effectively stolen the spotlight.
How could he ever reclaim his status in front of the others if the Slaughter God Spear kept seizing every opportunity? Everything worthwhile had been snatched away.
With nothing more to glean, Yang Chen focused his attention on the mysterious giant egg.
He could clearly sense that the shell had expanded, and the vitality pulsing from within was escalating steadily. It appeared that the consumption of the Asura soul body had catalyzed a transformation, nurturing whatever lay dormant inside.
Perhaps life had already existed within the shell, but it had been starved, desperately waiting for a supplement. The Asura soul body appeared to have provided the necessary nutrients, causing the latent life force to surge exponentially.
"Just what is hidden within this thing..." Yang Chen mused, unable to fathom its origins.
Once he concluded his current expedition, he would have to prioritize tracking down Wan Huaruo. If he wanted to unearth the truth behind this egg, she seemed to be his only lead.
Considering the evidence, the egg was clearly tied to the essence of the 'Asura'.
With that conclusion settled, Yang Chen opted to shelve the issue for the time being.
As he exited the space, he noticed that Xing Tong had already regained consciousness.
She seemed far more elated than Yang Chen. "Yang Chen! I have successfully secured six Heaven-appointed Realm insects! With our combined strength, who could possibly stand in our way within the Forbidden Spirit Palace?"
"Six Heaven-appointed Realm insects? That is formidable, but we must not grow complacent. We remain unsure if there are any Royal Destiny Realm Spirit Gods lingering within. Of course, apart from such high-level threats, other groups should struggle to pose a danger. However, we cannot be reckless. The Forbidden Spirit Palace is treacherous, and blind confidence will be our downfall," Yang Chen cautioned.
"Rest easy, I haven't let this go to my head. I simply believe we no longer need to be as timid as we once were," Xing Tong grinned.
"Very well. Do you have a specific objective now?" asked Yang Chen.
Xing Tong rubbed her palms together hungrily: "Naturally! The Forbidden Spirit Palace is brimming with treasures, and the World Treasures are particularly enticing to both of us.,Since I am approaching the World Stage, I must seize a World Treasure while I can. Let’s stick to the old arrangement—we split whatever we find right down the middle!"
"Agreed! Let us examine the map to locate the nearest treasure. Even the Spirit God Race positions are charted here!" Yang Chen exclaimed.
Upon inspecting the map, his brows knitted together with sudden intensity.
"It is actually here..."
