The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms Chapter 3401: 3396: Appearance of Wan Huaruo_1
Previously on The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms...
Those who surpass the Heavenly Boundary Realm hold a massive advantage over others who remain below it.
Such a divide proves nearly impossible to close, as evidenced clearly by the Knife Edge Brothers' earlier display alone.
Though the Knife Edge Brothers approached the pinnacle of the Heaven-separated Realm, bolstered by the formidable Fairy Qing Wan, they crumpled like fragile paper against the King of the Netherworld, revealing a staggering power disparity.
The situation today mirrors that perfectly.
Yang Chen could foresee the end without even observing the fight closely.
The pair of Emperor-level Netherworld Kings sneered with disdain flashing in their gazes, launching their assaults nearly simultaneously.
Right upon striking, laws unfurled everywhere, piercing through every corner to brew a tempest that engulfed the scores of Spirit Fire Clan and human powerhouses.
Moments later, the clash erupted into a chaotic melee, radiating overwhelming might.
Yet this display of fury faded quickly, making the dominance clear between the sides.
The human and Spirit Fire Clan elites found themselves utterly overwhelmed by the Netherworld foes, stripped of any chance to resist.
The lesser Ghost Kings posed little threat. What truly mattered were those two Emperor-level Netherworld Kings—their prowess was astonishing, eclipsing the Heaven-separated Realm's ceiling entirely. Even solo, they could hold their own against the dozens of Heaven-separated Realm adversaries ahead, to say nothing of their Ghost King underlings.
Following brief exchanges, Yang Chen required no further speculation on the result.
“This is terrible for everyone!” cried Di Tu, the Spirit Fire Clan's Eldest Elder, in shock. He never imagined the Netherworld hiding two titans beyond the Heavenly Boundary Realm's bounds.
He rued overlooking this sooner, when flight might have still been viable. But escape routes now? None.
Anxiety and remorse gripped him tightly.
Little surprise Lord Wan Tianyu constantly summoned experts exceeding the Heavenly Boundary Realm limit. He'd foreseen that lacking such powerhouses, they stood no chance versus these Netherworld Ghost Kings.
Resentment and fury overtook Di Tu, shattering his reason. Thought abandoned, he yearned only to shatter barriers and clash with the Ghost Kings.
The Spirit Fire Clan warriors and humans lay in total disarray. Di Tu, rage-fueled though he was, couldn't endure the Ghost Kings' ferocity. Mere exchanges later, defeat loomed for him.
At this sight, Yang Chen shook his head. Without his intervention soon, these powerhouses faced certain doom today.
Observing further, Yang Chen shed all hesitation, readying himself to strike.
Yet right as he moved to act, an abrupt shift unfolded, stunning Yang Chen and baffling him utterly.
From thin air, a law torrent rushed forth. Sweeping and vibrating wildly, it hurled back the Ghost Kings assailing Di Tu, then vanished completely.
No figure appeared for Yang Chen, yet the law's nature hinted plainly at another expert surpassing the Heavenly Boundary Realm limit.
Curiosity stirred in Yang Chen. He knew all human experts beyond the Heavenly Boundary Realm limit well, but this aura felt alien, utterly non-human.
While Yang Chen pondered, the Ghost King experts recoiled in surprise too, scanning wildly and bellowing, “Who’s there, you sneaky cowards—show yourselves now!”
The duo of Emperor-level Netherworld Kings had already locked eyes on the source.
Yang Chen turned that way as well. Spotting the arrival, his pupils contracted sharply.
For it was Wan Huaruo herself.
Yang Chen held deep intrigue toward Wan Huaruo due to her tight link with the Mysterious Giant Egg. That very tie drove his desire to encounter her and probe the egg's enigmatic origins.
Her location had eluded him till now. Who'd have thought she'd appear here?
“Wan Huaruo, interfering in Spirit Fire Clan matters?” Yang Chen voiced, face etched with confusion.
Spirit Fire Clan Elders gaped in stun at Wan Huaruo, blurting, “You... could it be...?”
Wan Huaruo stayed serene, hands folded behind, “No need to dwell on old times yet, everyone. First, we must tackle the immediate peril.”
The two Emperor-level Netherworld Kings eyed Wan Huaruo hungrily, lips smacking, “Spirit Fire Clan, you've concealed your strengths masterfully. Hiding a transcendent Heavenly Boundary Realm limit powerhouse even. Haha, now it's getting exciting. But you seriously believe your lone might can overcome us?”
“Aunt, how do we handle today's crisis?” Di Tu queried Wan Huaruo, oddly addressing her as ‘aunt.’
Yang Chen watched, bemused. He'd long suspected Wan Huaruo wasn't snake folk, yet her ties to the Spirit Fire Clan caught him off guard.
Wan Huaruo, Wan Tianyu, Wan Qiuying...
What bonds united them, all bearing the ‘Wan’ name?
Baffled, Yang Chen opted to observe silently from hiding.
Wan Huaruo fixed her gaze on the two Emperor-level Netherworld Kings amid their taunts, replying icily, “I never claimed to outmatch you alone, nor intended a direct confrontation. Di Tu, battle ill suits today—retreat!”
“But Holy Maiden...” the Elders protested urgently.
“Understood, yet survival comes first.” Wan Huaruo radiated poise without a trace of alarm. Her aura expanded as she geared to depart the zone.
Words barely done, the Original Stone Nether King cackled, “Spirit Fire Clan, fleeing so easily? Dream on. No clue where this Heavenly Boundary Realm limit expert sprang from, but since you've arrived, stay put. All of you, remain!”
With that, the Original Stone Nether King gestured broadly, commanding, “Rise the grand formation!”
Multiple Ghost Kings obeyed instantly, springing into motion. Divine stones flew outward one after another, igniting a blazing inferno array that erupted encircling them.
This array linked straight to Qiuying, captive and subjugated at its core, her awareness erased.
Drawing from Qiuying's essence, the formation plunged the vast lava fire sea into turmoil.
“Hehehe, this setup was meant for the lava fire sea originally, but trapping you lot proves far better now. Today, escape proves impossible for any,” the Original Stone Nether King howled in狂笑.
Ghost Kings surged forward rapidly, encircling the group from every angle.
