The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms Chapter 3426 - 3421: Failure, Success?_1
Previously on The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms...
Yet, the Six-Nine Tribulation Thunder was merely a prelude.
The true danger lay in the Seven-Nine Tribulation Thunder.
From his previous encounters, Yang Chen was well aware and had made full preparations long ago.
He had waited patiently, keeping every trump card at the ready.
As long as he avoided deploying the Way of Ten Thousand Laws’ Dao Embryo until the Eight-Nine Tribulation Thunder struck, survival against the Eight-Nine Tribulation Thunder remained possible.
His wish was to endure the Seven-Nine Tribulation Thunder without calling upon the Dao Embryo of Ten Thousand Laws.
That said, the challenge was evidently immense.
During the initial three waves of the Seven-Nine Tribulation Thunder, Yang Chen invoked the Spirit of the Firefox alongside his Slaughter God Spear, scarcely managing to fend them off.
In the Sixth Level, he reluctantly summoned the Crimson Ox Soul, exhausting nearly all his personal Laws.
At the Ninth Layer, Yang Chen nearly resorted to his Dao Embryo of Ten Thousand Laws, yet ultimately unleashed the God-slaying Spear from the Slaughter God Spear, narrowly surviving the Ninth Layer of the Seven-Nine Tribulation Thunder.
Without the God-slaying Spear, he might have been forced to use the Dao Embryo of Ten Thousand Laws, which would have left him far from peak condition, making the Eight-Nine Tribulation Thunder far more daunting.
The Seven-Nine Tribulation Thunder had already weighed heavily on Yang Chen, leaving him no room to underestimate the Eight-Nine Tribulation Thunder.
The encircling Ghost King Experts clenched their jaws, faces grim, utterly stunned that Yang Chen had overcome even the Seven-Nine Tribulation Thunder.
"Stay calm, I refuse to believe this brat can breeze through the Eight-Nine Tribulation Thunder!" roared the Sky Annihilation Ghost King. "The Eight-Nine Tribulation Thunder embodies the true Chaotic Heavenly Thunder—we all know its terror. Let’s see how this kid endures it!"
Chaotic Heavenly Thunder!
Yang Chen had detected that the Eight-Nine Tribulation Thunder differed vastly from those before.
This time, no ripples of the tribulation thunder could be sensed; it emerged from the annihilating void, utterly silent and traceless.
"So this is the Eight-Nine Tribulation Thunder, the Chaotic Heavenly Thunder?" Yang Chen pondered inwardly.
Only a fleeting moment for thought passed before Yang Chen caught faint vibrations.
Following those vibrations, he swiftly raised his defenses.
He sensed it sharply—the Chaotic Heavenly Thunder had come.
The Chaotic Heavenly Thunder sliced across the pitch-black cosmos, ripping open the firmament, trailing a blinding arc of light.
This radiance plunged straight toward Yang Chen.
Yang Chen unleashed his Domain, both soul bodies, and myriad laws at once, just managing to withstand the assault.
And this was merely the First Thunder Tribulation.
Without pause or overthinking, Yang Chen bellowed, "Way of Ten Thousand Laws Dao Embryo, empower the Crimson Ox Soul and Spirit of the Firefox!"
He had never boosted these two souls previously, uncertain of their potential surge.
But now, the results were evident.
Empowered by the Way of Ten Thousand Laws Dao Embryo, the Spirit of the Firefox swelled to interface scale, its form sharpening into a true fox wreathed in blazing crimson fire, gaze savage and icy.
The Crimson Ox Soul grew several fold in size—not matching the Firefox's immensity, yet its twin weapons gleamed with dazzling light.
Yang Chen couldn't pinpoint the exact transformations, but the two soul bodies charged headlong into the Second Layer Thunder Tribulation.
These souls, typically potent only against spirits and Netherworld Ghost Cultivators, held firm against the tribulation thunder.
The Second Layer of the Eight-Nine Tribulation Thunder was shredded by the Crimson Ox Soul. The third layer fell instantly to the Spirit of the Firefox.
Soon, the fourth layer arrived, crushed by the combined might of both soul bodies.
By the fifth layer, the duo strained desperately to persist and shatter it, clearly pushed to their extremes.
"The Ten Thousand Law Dao Embryo is profoundly enigmatic; it elevates my soul bodies to this level. I can’t grasp its mysteries. Precisely what aspect of a Dao technique does the Ten Thousand Law Dao Embryo amplify to yield such dramatic shifts?" Yang Chen mused.
While lost in thought, the sixth layer of the Thunder Tribulation crashed down.
Echoing his suspicions, the two soul bodies were spent and faltered, unable to endure further.
Yang Chen invoked the Ten Thousand Law Dao Embryo once more, bolstering the Deathly Silent Black Wind.
The vortex of Deathly Silent Black Wind erupted across the boundless Universe Starry Sky, overwhelming the sixth layer amid countless gales.
The seventh layer followed swiftly, meeting the same destructive fate.
Next came the eighth layer!
As the eighth layer struck, the Deathly Silent Black Wind's domain faded; Yang Chen gnashed his teeth and triggered the Ten Thousand Law Dao Embryo for a third boost.
With his power now at the Heaven-appointed Realm, enhancement limits had expanded—he could surpass the prior twice-only cap.
This third boost targeted the Five Elements Turn Heaven Palm.
Post-enhancement, the Five Elements Turn Heaven Palm reigned as his mightiest technique.
Boom! Amid wind, thunder, light, and shadow, the Five Elements Turn Heaven Palm's Intertwined Thunder erupted in the cosmos, clashing head-on with the Eighth Level Thunder Tribulation.
Crack, crack!
The Five Elements Turn Heaven Palm showed clear fractures, shrinking Yang Chen’s pupils as he feared its collapse.
Yet, the Eighth Level Thunder Tribulation crumbled under the palm's fierce counterforce.
Still, Yang Chen found no relief.
If the Eighth Level could imperil the enhanced Five Elements Turn Heaven Palm, how would the Ninth Level fare?
Even amplified, it fell short against the Ninth Level Thunder Tribulation.
In a flash, the Ninth Level Thunder Tribulation descended.
Yang Chen urgently amplified the Five Elements Turn Heaven Palm again to meet it, but it quivered instantly, on the verge of rupture.
"The kid’s at his limit." The Ghost Kings inwardly wished, awed by his endurance yet desperate for his failure.
Yet Yang Chen’s arsenal ran deeper.
As the Five Elements Turn Heaven Palm teetered on shattering, he unleashed the Ten Thousand Law Dao Embryo’s strengthening for the fifth time.
"Ten Thousand Law Dao Embryo, boost again—Deathly Silent Black Wind!"
Yang Chen flung every technique into the fray.
For this Ninth Level Thunder Tribulation—reserved for the Heavenly Extreme Realm—he paid dearly despite his Heaven-appointed Realm prowess.
Yet the toll exceeded even his grim expectations.
The Ninth Level, the ultimate strike, proved utterly horrifying.
As it fell, his full array of techniques struggled mightily to hold!
