The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms Chapter 3397 - 3392: Heavenly Palace_1
Previously on The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms...
While Xingtong’s prowess might strike terror into the hearts of the Spirit God Race, handling a few Heavenly Ghost Kings remains an effortless task for her.
This is especially true now that Xingtong’s strength has surged far beyond her former capabilities.
With the combined might of the six Destiny Realm Insect Clan members now vastly different from before, it almost feels as though the two Heavenly Ghost Kings deserve a shred of pity.
Considering this, Yang Chen settled Fairy Qing Wan and her companions before gently projecting his soul sensation.
A faint smile touched Yang Chen’s lips the moment his soul was released.
The events were unfolding exactly as he had foreseen; Xingtong’s confrontation was nearing its finale.
As for the outcome, Xingtong held total superiority, overwhelming both the Heavenly Bone Ghost King and the White Claw Ghost King with a crushing display of force.
The two formidable ghost kings were simply no match for Xingtong’s bolstered power, failing miserably despite their two-against-seven advantage.
Yet, without Yang Chen’s intervention, finishing off these two powerful entities would not have been a simple matter for Xingtong.
Realizing the situation had turned dire, the pair of Ghost Kings did not hesitate to attempt a retreat.
However, evading Xingtong’s techniques proved difficult, and as they attempted to flee, the gap in their speed became increasingly apparent.
Xingtong gritted her teeth in frustration, desperate to prevent them from slipping away, when suddenly, an azure sigil materialized beneath her feet.
The moment the pattern manifested, Xingtong’s eyes shimmered like brilliant pearls. She realized the tool needed to neutralize these two ghost kings had finally arrived.
Yang Chen’s form flickered into existence within the pattern, and he remarked, "The space-time domain is now active. If you fail to eliminate these two Ghost Kings, do not blame me for failing to provide cover."
Xingtong let out a playful snort, "Do not worry. Trapped within this domain, those two Ghost Kings could sprout wings and they still would not escape."
Her laughter chimed like a bell as she surged forward, her speed far surpassing her previous limits, creating a momentum that was truly breathtaking.
The six Destiny Realm insects trailed behind her, their own maneuverability significantly enhanced by the domain’s influence.
In contrast, the Heavenly Bone Ghost King and the White Claw Ghost King felt their speed plummet. Bewildered, they stammered with widening eyes, "What is happening!? What kind of domain is this?"
"This is bad; that demoness is gaining on us." At this juncture, the two Heavenly Ghost Kings had completely abandoned their former pride, replaced entirely by a primal panic originating from their very depths.
"Heh heh, the two of you should surrender your lives now."
As Xingtong spoke, she unleashed another devastatingly powerful strike.
Meanwhile, Yang Chen remained seated, waiting with calm patience. He had already calculated the result and provided his support; it would have been truly baffling if Xingtong still could not slaughter these two Ghost Kings with his aid.
True enough, within the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, Xingtong returned to Yang Chen’s side.
"Handled." Xingtong brushed off her hands, exuding a sense of smug satisfaction, though she was fully aware that her victory over the two Ghost Kings was only possible due to Yang Chen’s domain.
"I truly admire your domain. Our cooperation works like a pair of perfectly forged twin swords. Hahaha." Xingtong laughed melodiously.
At that moment, Fairy Qing Wan and the others approached to offer their gratitude, their faces etched with suspicion as they observed Yang Chen and Xingtong standing together.
After all, Xingtong behaved toward Yang Chen as an absolute equal, lacking any airs of superiority. Such conduct was entirely inconsistent with a Destiny Realm powerhouse engaging with one from the Heaven-separated Realm.
Yang Chen seemed to view this dynamic as perfectly natural, leaving Fairy Qing Wan even more perplexed.
What she failed to realize was that there was no hierarchy between Yang Chen and Xingtong; after all, Xingtong’s breakthrough into the Destiny Realm had been orchestrated by Yang Chen himself.
"This junior pays respects to Insect Mother Senior." Fairy Qing Wan led her group of elites in a formal gesture of respect.
Xingtong stretched lazily as she acknowledged the group. "Ah, a senior? There is no need for such formalities. You are all Yang Chen’s peers, so do not be so stiff with me. Yang Chen and I are close friends; very close friends indeed."
Yang Chen’s eyelid twitched. Xingtong’s words were layered with an ambiguous tone. He glanced at the baffled expressions of Fairy Qing Wan’s group and asked, "Fairy Qing Wan, do you have a plan for what comes next?"
"A plan? Naturally, we intend to proceed to the Heavenly Palace," Fairy Qing Wan responded softly.
Yang Chen, with his hands clasped behind his back, countered, "The Heavenly Palace? What exactly is that location?"
He had overheard the Heavenly Bone Ghost King and the White Claw Ghost King mentioning the site, but he lacked any detailed information. Furthermore, there was no mention of a Heavenly Palace on his maps.
Fairy Qing Wan gave a small, appreciative laugh. "Young Master Yang Chen, it is not unusual that you are unaware. The majority of maps omit the Heavenly Palace because it was not discovered during the initial expeditions to the Forbidden Spirit Ancestor’s Palace. It was only brought to light by various clans quite recently. Since its discovery, most factions have been mobilizing their troops in anticipation of its opening. We were summoned by a transmission from the leader of our Destiny Realm, which is why we hurried here. We only ended up battling the King of the Netherworld after crossing paths with him unexpectedly."
"The Heavenly Palace..." Yang Chen narrowed his eyes. "If the various clans place such importance on it, there must be a compelling reason."
Fairy Qing Wan nodded gravely. "That is because every clan has sensed the Qi of the Origin Land radiating from that location. It is rumored that the Heavenly Palace holds a Supreme Treasure from the Origin Land. Legend even suggests it was the private residence where the Forbidden Spirit Ancestor rested while alive!"
Yang Chen squinted; if such rumors held water, investigating the Heavenly Palace seemed like a worthwhile endeavor.
After all, the sleeping chamber of the Forbidden Spirit Ancestor was not something to be ignored; it likely contained significant boons.
Noticing Yang Chen’s interest, Fairy Qing Wan seized the opportunity. "Young Master Yang Chen, why not travel with us? We are fairly familiar with the route to the Heavenly Palace."
If Yang Chen and Xingtong joined their ranks, their party would gain a formidable advantage in combat.
However, Yang Chen offered a firm shake of his head. "There is no need. We are in no rush to settle on the Heavenly Palace just yet. We have other matters to attend to, so we will not be joining you."
"I see... very well then." Although Fairy Qing Wan felt a pang of disappointment, she dared not press the matter further after Yang Chen had saved them, responding only with a soft, "In that case, we shall take our leave and not disturb you further."
"Very well." Yang Chen nodded.
Fairy Qing Wan and her group of warriors departed in the direction of the Heavenly Palace.
Once they were out of earshot, Xingtong could not help but exclaim, "Yang Chen, what was that about? The Heavenly Palace holds treasures from the Origin Land, and we are just walking away from them?"
