The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms Chapter 3432 - 3427: What is there to fear?_1

Dongheng Ghost King’s form slowly shed the Ghost Qi cloaking it, as his ghostly yin spirit shape faded away, shifting into a pristine soul state.

It resembled murky water that had been entirely purified within, achieving utmost clarity.

Now Dongheng Ghost King appeared this way; upon his clear soul’s reemergence, Yang Chen had fully cleansed him, reviving memories from prior to his enslavement as a ghost being.

Dongheng Ghost King remained rooted, his face etched with shock, whispering, "What happened to me... what happened to me after I died? The Netherworld? How did I become a part of the Netherworld? I clearly hated it the most."

"Dongheng Ghost King, or rather, I should call you by a different name now," Yang Chen stated.

Dongheng Ghost King paused briefly, gazing at Yang Chen, and replied, "My name is Li Feng, Yang Chen. I was once like you, from the human race."

"Senior Li Feng, I don’t need to detail everything that occurred. With your insight, you can piece it together," Yang Chen remarked.

Li Feng let out a sigh, "I never thought that I, Li Feng, a Heaven-appointed Realm cultivator, would turn into a Netherworld puppet after death. It’s truly tough to swallow. Yang Chen, thank you. Without you, I’d have stayed enslaved by the Netherworld forever, harming my fellow kin without knowing."

"No big deal. Senior Li Feng, with your mind restored, you know your path forward. That suffices. Now, Li Feng, you face two paths: rebirth, or join me to avenge against the Netherworld," Yang Chen declared.

"No third choice?" Li Feng inquired with curiosity, "Of course, Brother Yang Chen, don’t get me wrong. I... I wish to rejoin the human race."

Yang Chen grasped Li Feng’s sentiments, as he wasn’t the initial one posing this query.

Yet offering these mighty figures just two options proved somewhat harsh.

He spoke steadily, "Senior, how long can a soul persist in this world?"

"Not long," Li Feng answered.

"Exactly. Post-death, a soul swiftly enters the Six Paths of Reincarnation. This follows Heavenly Dao law and Chaos law, unalterable," Yang Chen explained.

Were all souls to endure indefinitely, chaos would engulf the realm.

Even prolonged existence spans merely centuries or a millennium at best, hardly eternal. Solely Asura Clan’s soul forms stand out, enduring assaults from rival mighty races purely through soul power.

Li Feng couldn’t resist questioning, "But why do Netherworld’s yin souls persist so long?"

"The Netherworld masters the Life and Death Secret Technique, and the Ghost Qi you seniors refined holds this secret. Sustained by Ghost Qi, Netherworld’s yin souls and ghostly beings linger long in the world, evading reincarnation’s cycle," Yang Chen elaborated.

Comprehension dawned on Li Feng, "So that’s it. Does that mean I’ll dissipate soon as well?"

"No, I too command the Life and Death Secret Technique. Should Senior stay with me, I’ll preserve your soul’s immortality. But you can’t stray far or long. Hence, only two choices," Yang Chen clarified.

Realization settled on Li Feng, who chuckled, "Fine, I’ll shelve returning to the human race for now and join you to stir up trouble. I harbor deep grudge against the Netherworld too. Yang Chen, what’s our plan?"

"I’ve activated the Space-Time Maze. So far, results prove solid. I plan to employ the same tactic that drew Senior Li Feng to summon another Heaven-appointed Realm Ghost King. United, we’ll purify and vanquish them," Yang Chen outlined.

Li Feng agreed instantly, grinning, "No issue."

Securing another Heaven-appointed Realm powerhouse bolstered Yang Chen’s assurance in his moves.

Currently positioned beyond the maze, he observed the mighty foes attempting to shatter it, convinced of their failure.

A grin spread across Yang Chen’s face; these powerhouses stayed wary and guarded, unwilling to rashly demolish the maze yet desperate to escape confinement. How could they succeed?

Truth be told, though potent, his maze held a straightforward weakness; locating the precise node allowed the group to brute-force an exit.

Regrettably, that knowledge eluded them.

"Who to draw next..." Yang Chen pondered inwardly.

His gaze landed on Sky Annihilation Ghost King, nearest to him then.

Yang Chen harbored no fondness for Sky Annihilation Ghost King. Still, he was another tragic soul under enslavement, devoid of true awareness.

"He’ll do," Yang Chen set aside past grievances, opening the space-time gate into a massive portal.

Sky Annihilation Ghost King had no chance to respond before his form lurched into Yang Chen’s space-time door, vanishing instantly.

Reappearing outside the maze, Sky Annihilation Ghost King faced Yang Chen and Li Feng.

"Huh? Yang Chen, what did you do to Dongheng? And who’s this?!" Sky Annihilation Ghost King appeared stoic outwardly, though panic stirred within.

For he detected no trace of his allies.

And two Destiny Realm figures loomed before him.

Yang Chen skipped explanations, striking at once, "Senior Li Feng, let’s move."

"No problem!" Li Feng charged without delay.

Their joint assault far outmatched a solo effort. Previously, subduing Dongheng Ghost King took Yang Chen some effort alone; now with Li Feng, it proved swifter.

Coordination boosted their pace over fifty percent; moments later, they pinned and purified Sky Annihilation Ghost King.

Purified, Sky Annihilation Ghost King mirrored Li Feng, reclaiming his past. A formidable from a minor tribe, he brimmed with remorse upon learning of Netherworld’s control.

Yang Chen offered identical options. Sky Annihilation Ghost King chose allegiance without pause.

Next, Yang Chen replicated the ploy, aided by two allies, targeting remaining Heaven-appointed Realm Ghost Kings.

Smoothness escalated. Pulling in one more, then teaming with Li Feng and Sky Annihilation Ghost King overwhelmed them effortlessly.

Followed by the fourth, fifth, sixth!

In total, Yang Chen claimed six Heaven-appointed Realm Ghost Kings, his amassed might drawing a pleased smirk.

Then came the Space-Time Maze’s shattering.

Emerging survivors, the leftover Heaven-appointed Realm Ghost Kings, glared at Yang Chen with seething fury, poised to demand reckoning.

Yet Yang Chen felt no dread.

Originally eleven Heaven-appointed Realm Ghost Kings existed; six now served him.

With seven on his side against five foes, what threat loomed?
