The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms Chapter 3435 - 3430: A Glimmer of Hope_1

"Hard to believe as it may be, it’s not utterly impossible." The Taoist Robe Ancestor of Grand Abyss Palace declared.

These words sent a chill through Silver City’s heart. Was Yang Chen truly still alive?

Spirit Communication Ancestor inquired, "What’s your view, Brother Ye Shan?"

"It’s tough to verify right now. Countless folks share the name across the Ten Thousand Realms. Should this Yang Chen merely bear the same name, it concerns us not. Once the Forbidden Spirit Palace expedition ends, peaceful ties with the Netherworld should follow. Yet, should this be the genuine Yang Chen, the Netherworld powerhouses returning from Forbidden Spirit Palace would deliver a crushing strike to him in the Outer Darkflow Universe." Ye Shan Dao Ancestor replied.

"Exactly, if this Yang Chen proves authentic, regardless of current events in the Outer Darkflow Universe, the instant Forbidden Spirit Palace experts return, his real identity will inevitably surface."

All present knew the Forbidden Spirit Palace venture had lured numerous Netherworld elites away, leaving scant forces in the Outer Darkflow Universe.

Yet, with the Forbidden Spirit Palace journey concluded, the scenario would shift dramatically.

Ye Shan Dao Ancestor massaged his brows and stated, "For us elders, the wisest move presently is to stealthily near the Outer Darkflow Universe for scouting. If he’s Yang Chen, we’ll lend aid. If not, we retreat. This stands as the safest path forward now."

"Won’t it prove too risky for all Daozu to venture near the Dark Flow Universe?" The Heavenly Fate Realm Expert questioned.

Spirit Communication Ancestor snorted coldly, "This Primordial Treasure ties to our sect’s destiny, and Yang Chen might possess two such treasures. Fearing risks now would be sheer folly."

The Heavenly Fate Realm Expert wavered, surprised by Yang Chen’s immense worth.

Silver City remained silent, quaking in terror, desperately wishing the Yang Chen in his mind had met his end in the Spatial Divine River.

...

Unbeknownst to Yang Chen in the Netherworld, the Forbidden Spirit Palace expedition had concluded.

Had he learned of it, he couldn’t have stayed put.

Still, even restless, he lacked options. Lately, Yang Chen had focused on escaping the Dark Flow Universe, having fully seized its outer regions.

Yet, the vast universe wasn’t a domain for casual entry or exit.

This made sense, given the colossal Dark Flow Universe’s role in repelling alien races. Were escape so simple, it would have fallen ages ago.

Barred from departure, Yang Chen lingered within the Dark Flow Universe, ever vigilant.

Events soon validated his caution.

Despite his low profile, Inner Area Netherworld powerhouses had discerned Yang Chen’s command over the Outer Dark Flow Universe.

Before long, Li Feng, the Heavenly Destiny Realm Middle Stage expert whom Yang Chen favored most, arrived at his side.

"Yang Chen, trouble brews." Li Feng warned.

"What happened?" Yang Chen queried.

"The planet Earth under Yellow Bee’s watch got obliterated outright. A whole realm vanished in a flash, reduced to a mere Heavenly Dao husk awaiting rebirth." Li Feng reported.

Realms could indeed fall to ruin.

But even the mightiest avoided shattering the Heavenly Dao that ruled a realm during destruction.

Heavenly Dao formed chaos’s essence; tampering with it invited divine retribution, even for Heavenly Extreme Realm powerhouses.

Such punishment, though not dire, deterred all Heavenly Extreme Realm experts.

Much like how they shunned meddling with Heavenly Dao laws lightly.

With Heavenly Dao intact in the universe, realms could regenerate after eons.

Yang Chen’s visage grew grave as he pressed, "Li Feng, could you alone annihilate a Star Interface?"

"Not if Heavenly Dao governs it." Li Feng admitted.

This differed from yielding a World Treasure devoid of Heavenly Dao laws—the bare minimum for absorption as such.

"And World Life Stage powerhouses?" Yang Chen probed.

"A Late-stage Destiny Realm expert might struggle with it." Li Feng answered.

Yang Chen’s look turned grim, "If even a Late-stage Destiny Realm finds it arduous, they’d scarcely destroy realms idly. Thus..."

"It has to be Heavenly Extreme Realm!"

Yang Chen and Li Feng uttered simultaneously.

Heavenly Extreme Realm.

The weight of those words struck them both profoundly.

Li Feng urged, "Yang Chen, what’s our plan?"

"Against a Heavenly Extreme Realm assault, what odds do we hold if we fight full force?" Yang Chen countered.

"Assuming it’s a Heavenly Extreme Realm—likely the Night Ghost Ancestor—their World power peaks, merging with chaos. Their Daoist arts hit perfection, earning the Daozu title. We Heavenly Destiny Realm folk can’t withstand them. At best, we stall briefly before defeat." Li Feng stated firmly.

Yang Chen kneaded his brows, grasping that Heavenly Destiny Realm attainment left him perilously exposed.

Escaping the Dark Flow Universe appeared hopeless, whichever route considered.

Even with Heavenly Destiny Realm entry and Outer Darkflow Universe mastery, the impasse endured.

"Am I doomed to fall in the Netherworld?" Yang Chen whispered, eyes shut in deep thought.

Moments later, he resolved, "Senior, lead the other Heavenly Destiny Realm elders away from this realm first. I’ll remain behind solo."

"Yang Chen, you..." Li Feng asked, bewildered.

"No time for debate. Night Ghost Ancestor seeks me. Stay, and you perish too. Alone, I draw his sole focus."

"Moreover, with Night Ghost Ancestor here, my concerns lift. Slaying me won’t be simple; I’ll carve out time for you. Use it to shatter the Dark Flow Universe’s outer barrier. Escapees gain advantage, though sans my guardianship, survival’s doubtful. Still, fate decides now."

"This..." Li Feng pondered briefly, then yielded reluctantly, "Fine."

Decisive by nature, he departed swiftly.

Yang Chen sighed deeply, "Mountain and River Destruction Map, fuse faster."

Advancing to World Stage and uniting with the Primordial Treasure might grant a faint shot at surviving a Heavenly Extreme Realm clash, defying odds via its might.
