The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms Chapter 3423 - 3418: The Appearance of the Ice and Fire Sky Phoenix_1

He had absolute faith in his own power.

Furthermore, unlike others, the moment he stepped into the Realm of Fate, he'd rapidly climb to Mid Level Fate Realm, then surge to Late stage!

A World Embryo was already within his grasp. Breaking into Mid Level Fate Realm to form a world posed no challenge at all.

Next, employing the Seven-colored Glaze Stone to infuse life into that world would prove utterly simple.

Entering the Realm of Fate meant he'd vault forward dramatically, rocketing straight to the heavens!

Yet, he stumbled right at this crucial juncture.

Without the relic in his possession, alternative paths were required to access the Realm of Fate.

...

Soon, Yang Chen entered recovery once more. In a flash, over ten days slipped by.

His injuries had nearly mended completely.

But no favorable turn awaited him upon full recovery. The instant his wounds approached healing, the Netherworld struck again.

This assault proved fiercer than the last.

Yang Chen could no longer remain idle. Detecting the Netherworld's onslaught, he rushed out immediately.

"Everyone, what's happening? What's the current state?" Yang Chen inquired, bewildered.

Zhang Ge of the Earthbound Clan commanded a vast array of Heaven-Separation Realm experts, poised for battle. Spotting Yang Chen emerge, he furrowed his brow and declared: "Taoist Yang Chen, Ghost Kings from the Netherworld have arrived to slaughter us. We're likely encircled now. Ghost Kings guard the Boundless Starry Sky too. Fleeing won't be straightforward."

Upon hearing this, Yang Chen's face grew grave; he drew a deep breath: "How does the Netherworld track us so precisely? The Bat-wing Clan faced disaster when I visited them. Now I've reached your clan, and yours is...

"This isn't linked to Taoist Yang Chen. With control over the Dark Flow Universe, the Netherworld possesses their own methods. They monitor the Dark Flow Universe constantly, scanning it whenever they wish. Locating Taoist Yang Chen is merely a question of time." Zhang Ge offered a bitter smile.

Yang Chen's countenance shifted as he questioned gravely, "Then why continue shielding me?"

"Taoist Yang Chen, even without aiding you, would the Netherworld spare us? Death comes eventually either way. At minimum, you've granted us the honor and chance to perish fighting." Zhang Ge stated deliberately: "We harbor no regrets. Brother Hu Ye, escort Taoist Yang Chen to safety and guard him fiercely. The Wind Serpent Clan remains untouched by the Netherworld's claws for now. I've notified them; they'll prepare to welcome you."

Hu Ye nodded resolutely: "Take care, all. Be assured, should I fail to flee the Dark Flow Universe, I won't cling to existence. Later, I'll join you in the afterlife without fail."

"Go now." Zhang Ge clenched his jaw, flicked his sleeves, and guided the mighty fighters away.

Resolve burned in his gaze as he marched into a desperate trail, all for a glimmer of tomorrow's promise.

Witnessing this, Yang Chen balled his fists, profoundly stirred.

How many atrocities had the Netherworld wrought?

Only now did he grasp life's frailty and the raw essence of life versus death...

His eyes shut, then reopened—his realm had elevated anew.

Speaking of 'realm,' he rivaled typical Heavenly Destiny Realm experts; only his cultivation base lagged in formal breakthrough.

"Time to depart, Taoist Yang Chen." Hu Ye urged.

"Very well." Yang Chen refused to squander the chance these experts had bled for, departing alongside Hu Ye and select potent allies.

Reaching the Boundless Starry Sky, Yang Chen detected two Mid Level Fate Realm experts lurking in wait.

"Yang Chen, where can you possibly flee?" The vigilant Heavenly Destiny Realm expert bellowed fiercely, erupting with World Power.

In response, Yang Chen acted without delay: "All, cease resistance and follow me."

Myriad Laws Dao Embryo, activate.

Fortifying space-time, he whisked everyone away in a blur, vanishing instantly.

"Pursue them!" The two Heavenly Destiny Realm experts gnashed their teeth at Yang Chen's abrupt disappearance.

"These alien races dare die for Yang Chen. Infuriating! Without their interference, we'd have seized this brat ages ago."

"Curse these vermin! They've squandered our precious time."

"Hunt them down!"

Yet pursuing Yang Chen proved far simpler in words than deeds.

Space-time flight came naturally to Yang Chen, effortless as breathing. Still, for him now, each evasion only deepened the encroaching void of despair.

Repeated escapes—did they truly alter anything? Could he evade eternally?

The Netherworld could pinpoint him anytime. How long might he endure?

At this thought, Yang Chen shook his head, banishing the notion instantly.

What nonsense filled his mind?

These experts laid down their lives from thankfulness, clinging to a slender, near-vanished spark of hope in him.

Yet he wallowed in hopelessness?

As realization dawned that his companions refused to abandon hope, Yang Chen's gaze hardened with resolve—what grounds had he to surrender?

Soon, Yang Chen's group pierced the upper reaches of this realm, seeking their final sanctuary.

The Wind Serpent Clan.

Wind Serpent Clan powerhouses, forewarned, stood ready. Upon Yang Chen and companions' arrival, they rushed forward in welcome.

"You must be esteemed Hu Ye; might I inquire who is Yang Chen..." A Wind Serpent Clan Heaven-Separation Realm powerhouse advanced promptly, inquiring swiftly.

"I am Yang Chen," Yang Chen replied.

The Wind Serpent Clan's Heaven-Separation Realm powerhouse eyed Yang Chen, bowing deeply in thanks: "Taoist Yang Chen, your immense benevolence overwhelms us. Fear not; I, Yu Feng, shall perish before you do. But let's set that aside. An pressing issue demands your attention."

"Pressing issue?" Yang Chen's eyes widened in astonishment: "Something vital to share?"

Having just encountered them, he couldn't predict their words. Their urgent bearing hinted at grave news.

"Recently, an Ice and Fire Heavenly Phoenix emerged here. We doubted her origins at first but sheltered her since she opposed the Netherworld. She demanded to meet you, claiming she's our sole salvation..." the Wind Serpent Clan's Heaven-Separation Realm powerhouse explained.

Yang Chen jolted at the revelation, instantly recognizing the Ice and Fire Heavenly Phoenix.

Could it possibly be...

How did she learn of his presence in the Netherworld? How had she journeyed here from such distance? It all defied logic.

"Lead me to her at once!" Yang Chen commanded.

Uncertain of events, yet if Bao Lu awaited...

Hope might truly exist.
