The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms Chapter 3393 - 3388: Misfortune of Fairy Qing Wan_1

Upon seeing the destination, Yang Chen felt a surge of genuine astonishment; it was none other than Hellfire Mountain.

Hellfire Mountain lacked any extraordinary reputation, yet Yang Chen recalled Wan Tianyu mentioning that his daughter had been abducted by creatures from the Netherworld precisely because of the mountain’s existence.

By seizing control of Hellfire Mountain, the Spirit Fire Clan stood to gain unique, utilitarian advantages.

“Are you interested in this Hellfire Mountain?” Yang Chen turned to inquire of Xingtong.

Xingtong wrapped her arms around herself and replied, “I possess no Law of Fire, so Hellfire Mountain is useless to me. It is ill-suited to serve as my future World Treasure.”

The selection of a World Treasure must never be done haphazardly.

Ideally, it should exist in harmony with one’s own personal cultivation laws.

This serves as the primary reason why practitioners who grasp a broader spectrum of laws are capable of refining a greater number of World Treasures.

Should a cultivator lack the Fire Laws or the Earth’s Law, even the act of refining Hellfire Mountain would yield little benefit. The World Treasure simply would fail to manifest its intended power.

World Treasures are essentially rare, natural phenomena birthed by the essence of the world itself. To put it simply, they are not unlike the Heavenly Calamity that Yang Chen endured in his earlier years.

These Heavenly Calamity zones typically harbor innate, specialized powers. Only the most formidable masters within the World Stage possess the capability to command them.

“Why ask? Are you interested in it? If so, I am willing to accompany you, provided that if we encounter a World Treasure that piques my interest later, you will offer your full cooperation,” Xingtong suggested.

Yang Chen immersed himself in thought for a moment.

“Hellfire Mountain is perfectly compatible with me, so I must investigate it. I only hope that someone else hasn't already claimed it,” Yang Chen voiced his concern.

“Hahaha, it is not that simple. If it were that easy to abscond with, it wouldn't be a worthy World Treasure. The more powerful the treasure, the more strenuous the task of taking it. If that were not the case, every valuable relic would have been stripped away during the initial opening of the Forbidden Spirit Palace, leaving absolutely nothing for our second group,” Xingtong remarked with complete indifference, feeling no apprehension whatsoever.

Upon hearing Xingtong’s logic, Yang Chen felt reassured; her perspective was indeed grounded in reality.

His motive for journeying to the mountain was not merely tied to the daughter of Wan Tianyu.

Although he had turned down Wan Tianyu’s earnest plea—largely to avoid disclosing his own position—he still felt a sense of duty toward her situation. Should the opportunity arise, he would not hesitate to rescue her.

Beyond that, the elemental compatibility of the mountain provided a much more compelling reason.

While Hellfire Mountain might prove incompatible for Xingtong, the situation was vastly different for Yang Chen.

He was a master of the Five Elements Laws: Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth.

The flames inherent to Hellfire Mountain resonated with his Fire Laws, while the structure of the mountain itself corresponded perfectly to his Earth’s Law.

Given that both aspects were ideal for his cultivation, he possessed every incentive to refine the site and absorb its power.

“In any event, we should not squander our time. Let us make for that location at once,” Yang Chen commanded.

“As you wish.”

The two consulted briefly before stepping into the fabric of spacetime, vanishing in the blink of an eye.

With the aid of the map, they traveled toward their chosen destination with the speed of a thunderbolt.

Their journey was largely unobstructed, and they reached the vicinity of Hellfire Mountain with remarkable ease.

However, an unforeseen complication arose during their final approach.

“There are sounds of combat echoing below us…” Yang Chen and Xingtong exchanged glances, perceiving the disturbance almost simultaneously.

They projected their souls to scan the area and discovered two factions locked in a desperate struggle.

As he inspected the scene more closely, Yang Chen’s demeanor turned grave.

The combatants involved were the Humans and the forces of the Netherworld. While it is common for these sworn enemies to clash, those entering the Forbidden Spirit Palace usually prioritize treasure acquisition over bloodshed. Clearly, these two sides had abandoned all restraint.

To his amusement, Yang Chen recognized one of the human factions; it was led by Fairy Qing Wan.

Given the sheer malice and hatred etched upon Fairy Qing Wan’s features, he easily deduced that the opposition was none other than the King of the Netherworld and his retinue.

The battle was intense, with Fairy Qing Wan fighting alongside two middle-aged twin practitioners.

These twins were exceptionally powerful, and the power gap between them and Fairy Qing Wan had narrowed considerably. By coordinating their efforts, they fought with such ferocity that they threatened to surpass the traditional limits of the Heaven-separated Realm.

Their combined strength made it difficult to determine who held the upper hand against the King of the Netherworld.

Yang Chen quickly identified the twins: the legendary Knife Edge Brothers.

Since he had refused to aid Fairy Qing Wan earlier, it was inevitable that she would seek assistance from other cultivators.

“Tsk tsk, it seems your fellow humans are in quite a bind. Do you intend to intervene?” Xingtong giggled.

Yang Chen kept his hands behind his back and replied, “There is no need for haste. Let us observe how this unfolds.”

Now that he could survey the battlefield with his soul, he realized Fairy Qing Wan was acting with reckless impatience.

The King of the Netherworld’s forces were far more dangerous than they appeared, as two Ghost Kings of the Heaven-appointed Realm were waiting in the shadows.

Though they remained out of sight, it was obvious they were biding their time. Should the skirmish persist without a clear victor, these two Ghost Kings would surely emerge to slaughter the human faction.

But blinded by her thirst for vengeance, Fairy Qing Wan ignored everything but the desire to slay the King of the Netherworld.

“According to the records regarding him, the King of the Netherworld should have advanced to the Heaven-appointed Realm after securing a Golden Light Relic. Yet, his cultivation remains stuck at the Heaven-separated Realm. What could be the explanation for this?” Yang Chen pondered, filled with both curiosity and suspicion.

Lack of time? That seemed unlikely.

Regardless, the fact that the King had not reached the Heaven-appointed Realm worked in Yang Chen’s favor.

He continued to refrain from joining the fray, preferring to remain a silent observer.

The longer he watched, the more he noticed a chilling, predatory glimmer in the eyes of the King of the Netherworld.

The King was barely taking Fairy Qing Wan and her twin allies seriously.

This observation made Yang Chen’s expression even more austere. If his intuition was correct, Fairy Qing Wan and her companions were on the verge of a catastrophe.

Just as that thought crossed his mind, a terrifying aura descended from the heavens like a bolt of lightning, drowning the area below.

This was no mere Heaven-separated Realm pressure; it was the overwhelming might of the Heaven-appointed Realm!
