The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms Chapter 3439 - 3434: The Decision of the Human Race’s Powerful Ones_1

Once the formidable Netherworld powerhouses returned to the Forbidden Spirit Dao Palace, the entire Netherworld descended into total disorder and mayhem.

Ghost cultivators from the Netherworld who came back from the outer regions ignited a full-scale clash with the mighty figures purified by Yang Chen.

Yet, nobody realized that as those Netherworld experts arrived, a team of human powerhouses from the fringes of the Dark Flow Universe was closely monitoring the chaos.

Leading these powerhouses are Ye Shan Daozu and Tongling Daozu, both at the Heavenly Extreme Realm.

At this moment, Ye Shan Daozu said with worry, "Brother Tongling, have you uncovered any leads? Our skills in probing fall short of yours. I have no idea what's happening inside the Netherworld right now."

Tongling Daozu rubbed his chest and held back his response at first. He waited a moment before declaring, "It's truly fascinating. My Tongling bird has probed it all in detail. You two, do you realize what transpired?"

"Brother Tongling, don't tease us," remarked a Heavenly Extreme Realm expert from the Grand Abyss Palace.

Tongling Daozu explained, "We all understand that souls form right after death. Netherworld ghost cultivators basically enslave those souls. But these remain mere guesses from us old timers, with no real countermeasures discovered yet. Thus, the Netherworld's affairs leave us helpless."

"Exactly, I've long suspected the Netherworld employs some unique technique to bind those souls. The Gates of Life and Death and the Unwarranted Black Hole merely allow realm powerhouses to enter post-mortem, falling under its control. That's common knowledge," Ye Shan Daozu added.

Tongling Daozu agreed with a nod, "Precisely, but here's the twist: while we haven't unraveled it, someone inside the Netherworld has. Now, on the Dark Flow Universe's outskirts, aside from the freshly returned Netherworld experts, all others have been cleansed to their true soul forms. These restored souls are now locked in brutal combat with the returning Netherworld group. Even several World Stage powerhouses are caught in the fray. It's ferocious."

"Who pulled this off? Is it perhaps..." Ye Shan Daozu inquired.

"Yang Chen," Tongling Daozu grinned broadly.

"I wonder if this Yang Chen is the one we're seeking," Ye Shan Daozu voiced his concern.

Tongling Daozu chuckled, "Brother Ye Shan, ponder it. Who else but our known Yang Chen could achieve such a feat?"

"What are you implying?" Ye Shan Daozu pressed.

"Consider this: Yang Chen wields the Law of Life and Death. That's no secret to us," Tongling Daozu stated.

The three Heavenly Extreme Realm experts nodded; it was widely known, though unspoken. Back when Yang Chen gained fame, numerous Heavenly Extreme Realm figures had delved into his background. They lacked full details on his power, yet grasped the essentials.

Ye Shan Daozu exclaimed in shock, "Could it be... yes, the Law of Life and Death governs birth and demise. Paired with his profound soul comprehension, Yang Chen must be the culprit."

"Correct, I suspected it initially but needed confirmation. My Tongling bird's thorough scan reveals this Yang Chen matches the one we seek. Still, his position looks dire right now," Tongling Daozu revealed.

Ye Shan Daozu spoke deliberately, "What's the issue?"

"The Netherworld's ghost ancestor has locked onto him, chasing relentlessly. For now, his location is unknown, fate hanging in balance," Tongling Daozu twirled his beard, "Brother Ye Shan, what's your next move?"

Face grave, Ye Shan Daozu declared, "If there's over 60% chance this is our Yang Chen, I'll stake it all and venture into the Dark Flow Universe to rescue him."

"Haha, Brother Ye Shan, great minds think alike," Tongling Daozu boomed with laughter, evidently sharing the bold intent.

"Seniors, could this be some scheme?" questioned a Heavenly-separated Realm powerhouse.

Tongling Daozu fingered his beard, "If it were a ploy, the Netherworld's scheme would backfire spectacularly. Rest easy; we act only with certainty. Yang Chen's survival matters immensely now. Should he truly hold the power to purify Netherworld ghost cultivators, that secret rivals a Primordial Treasure in worth."

Ye Shan Daozu affirmed, "True enough. We're near-mortal foes with the Netherworld. If Yang Chen wields this power alongside his own merits, us old bones would gladly risk everything for him."

...

As these powerhouses conferred, Yang Chen activated his second Liuli Talisman and safely arrived in the realm he'd eyed before.

This brought a wave of relief to Yang Chen.

He first extended his divine sense, scanning the surrounding Dark Flow Universe. The scan prompted a heavy sigh from him.

Four simple words summed it up: Utter pandemonium.

Currently, the Dark Flow Universe had sunk into complete upheaval. Yang Chen fretted over the purified souls, yet recognized he lacked time to intervene.

Yang Chen faced his own peril.

He remained unsure how to flee the Dark Flow Universe. Though one Liuli Talisman lingered as a final lifeline, it wouldn't extract him from there, yielding the same outcome.

Furthermore, with Forbidden Spirit Palace elites back, his window had shrunk.

Before, Night Ghost Ancestor tracked him in five days.

Now, exposure might strike in merely two or three days.

Faced with this, Yang Chen let out a profound sigh. No superior solution presented itself.

His sole hope lay with the Primordial Treasure, the Heavenly Thunder Tree.

Refining the Heavenly Thunder Tree in just five prior days proved impossible. Primordial Treasures demand serious effort.

In this narrow timeframe, refine the Heavenly Thunder Tree he must.

Time ticked away steadily: one day, two days...

Two and a half days.

At the two-and-a-half-day point, a cold dread pierced Yang Chen's core. In only that span, his position was revealed, and all inevitable foes descended.

Yang Chen looked skyward, detecting a horrifying aura crashing down. By his judgment, multiple Heavenly Extreme Realm experts were among them.

"Now that you've all arrived, why lurk? Reveal yourselves. This isn't our first encounter, after all," Yang Chen challenged.

"Yang Chen, facing death, you still spout words!" Night Ghost Ancestor materialized, glaring at Yang Chen like the reaper incarnate.
