The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms Chapter 3431 - 3426: Liberating the Heaven-appointed Realm_1

He pondered the idea carefully.

With his ability to command time and space, what if he forged a realm where he could alter spacetime flow rates at will and set up impenetrable barriers?

What others couldn't achieve, he possessed the power to accomplish.

In essence, he trapped all the remaining Heavenly Destiny Ghost Kings in that realm. Whenever necessary, he'd crack open a portal just for Dongheng Ghost King, allowing him to spot it, then hasten the spacetime along his chase path.

In this way, every aspect of spacetime fell completely under his dominion—whether accelerating it, decelerating it, sealing passages, or unlocking them.

This setup birthed a labyrinth of spacetime.

Yet prior to this moment, his command of spacetime laws lacked the depth to sustain such a maze. Moreover, his grasp on those laws remained shackled by the Heavenly Dao; sealing one or two foes was his utmost limit, while handling larger groups sharply diminished its potency.

Circumstances had shifted now.

Yang Chen felt satisfied with the outcome. At minimum, he'd successfully drawn out his prey and isolated him in this domain.

Dongheng Ghost King couldn't help feeling a touch of unease. Yang Chen's fame preceded him, and none dared to dismiss it lightly.

Still, on closer reflection, Yang Chen lingered merely at the early Heavenly Fate Realm stage.

Beating mid-stage Heavenly Fate Realm experts from the early stage had forever been an impossible fantasy. The disparity between stages loomed vast.

World Stage cultivators could effortlessly overpower early Heavenly Fate Realm foes.

Regardless of Yang Chen's prowess, that chasm persisted.

In a flash, Dongheng Ghost King relaxed considerably and sneered, "Yang Chen, your tricks are truly remarkable, but do you really think trapping me here lets you harm me? Regarding your spacetime maze, how long will it last? Once it's shattered later, let's see how you flee."

Yang Chen offered a faint smile, "Rest easy, Your Excellency. My spacetime maze will endure perfectly until I've handled you."

Veins throbbed on Dongheng Ghost King's forehead as he bellowed, "You alone?"

Words barely finished, Dongheng Ghost King unleashed his assault in rage, his world power erupting forth instantly.

With the world power expanding, Dongheng Ghost King revealed his genuine might.

Yang Chen wouldn't dare take it lightly. World power demanded respect. Yet since stepping into Heavenly Fate Realm, confronting world power no longer weighed him down as heavily.

Overpowering him solely with world power proved no simple task.

Yang Chen deployed his azure-patterned domain.

Spacetime domain materialized, clashing head-on with the world power in the next instant.

Amid the clash, Yang Chen clenched his jaw and stood firm, holding equal ground.

Dongheng Ghost King faltered abruptly, staring at Yang Chen in shock. His world power dispersed, only to discover it matched evenly against Yang Chen's domain—a deadlock. How was this feasible?

Suddenly, it clicked why Yang Chen evaded capture from countless mighty foes time and again. Seeing world power fail, he promptly called forth his world's treasures: a towering tree piercing the heavens and a massive star.

This mighty tree brimmed with wood power, its barren branches and foliage carrying a corroding force.

Beyond that, the enormous star loomed shadowy, icy, and steeped primarily in the Laws of Darkness.

Taking it in, Yang Chen quickly discerned the nature of these two world treasures.

Unfamiliar with battling world treasures, he committed fully to the fight.

Without delay, Dongheng Ghost King hurled the tree under his command at Yang Chen.

Branches exploded outward at speed, arriving beside Yang Chen almost immediately.

The desiccated leaves along those branches corroded fiercely, even ensnaring Yang Chen's domain in the treasure's erosive reach.

Yang Chen swiftly evaded via spacetime manipulation.

Yet the instant he vanished, Dongheng Ghost King maneuvered the giant star to his former spot. A surge of dark radiance erupted, morphing into a vast maw that swallowed Yang Chen whole.

Reappearing, Yang Chen found himself trapped inside the star.

Inside reigned utter blackness, rendering his soul powerless; senses of smell and hearing failed utterly.

Yang Chen recognized this as Dongheng Ghost King's signature tactic—dragging foes into the star's darkness-law domain while striking with the eroding ancient tree.

Typical warriors would perish instantly, soul deprived.

"World Stage experts truly live up to their name, each harboring deadly secrets," Yang Chen mused inwardly.

Attaining early Heavenly Fate Realm didn't entitle him to scorn these World Stage powerhouses.

Still, such tactics alone wouldn't fell him easily.

Though his soul faltered, his spacetime mastery let him reshape any locale's spacetime and seize control.

With spacetime as his domain, how could he remain blind to events within?

Sure enough, Dongheng Ghost King soon lashed out with the corroding ancient tree.

A subtle grin crossed Yang Chen's face. "Time to unleash my real strength. This giant star might be a treasure, but it pales beside Forbidden Spirit Palace artifacts. I'll smash it and force Dongheng Ghost King to show his hand."

Yang Chen smirked and triggered the Way of Ten Thousand Laws Embryo without hesitation.

"Five Elements Turn Heaven Palm, descend!"

Thunderous booms echoed as the Five Elements Turn Heaven Palm surged powerfully, bursting straight from the cosmic starry expanse. A colossal palm seized the giant star like a plaything, squeezing it tight.

"Destroying my treasure? As if it's that simple..." Dongheng Ghost King brimmed with assurance, but mid-sentence, horror twisted his features.

For his prized treasure crumbled under the Five Elements Turn Heaven Palm's grip.

Crackling noises rang out as it fragmented.

Meanwhile, Yang Chen thrust a spear from the starry cosmos above.

"God-slaying Spear!"

"Strengthen..."

Yang Chen had never amplified the God-slaying Spear till now. Bolstering it via the Way of Ten Thousand Laws Embryo left even him amazed.

Swift, stealthy, lethal.

The spear lanced through, Yang Chen veering it aside at the final second to spare Dongheng Ghost King's life by a thread.

Blood sprayed as Dongheng Ghost King froze in stunned disbelief, clueless to the events; a mere gleam later, his body defied his commands.

"You've been defeated, Dongheng Ghost King. Revert to your original form. You're no true Netherworld native," Yang Chen declared, enveloping Dongheng Ghost King entirely with the Luo Tian Scripture's power.
