The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms Chapter 3440 - 3435: The Appearance of the Three Great Daozu_1
Previously on The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms...
Yang Chen's face turned grave as he clenched his teeth tightly. The Night Ghost Ancestor had shown up already, and the Hei Kong Ghost Ancestor was surely lurking close by, not distant at all.
Facing the joint onslaught from these two formidable powerhouses, how could he possibly break free?
Had he struck first from the outset, a surprise attack might have worked, yet now it seemed there was no such opportunity left.
"Yang Chen, surrender the Primordial Treasure, and we'll let you live," the Hei Kong Ghost Ancestor sneered, his form materializing as well.
Yang Chen felt no shock at the Hei Kong Ghost Ancestor's arrival. It made perfect sense that word of his Primordial Treasure had spread since his return from the Forbidden Spirit Palace.
"Primordial Treasure?" The Night Ghost Ancestor, evidently clueless, questioned with bewilderment.
The Hei Kong Ghost Ancestor snorted, "Night Ghost, you're in the dark about this. I was too at first. It took some digging to learn that this Yang Chen is the very one from the Forbidden Spirit Palace. The kid pulled off huge feats there, snagging two Primordial Treasures. We might not grasp how he ended up in our Netherworld, but that hardly matters—what counts is he possesses them."
Hearing this revelation, the Night Ghost Ancestor's eyes sharpened, everything clicking into place: "See now just how extraordinary this brat is? You've got one Primordial Treasure, but he's holding two. What fortune for our Netherworld! Snatch all three, and ha, the other factions would bow to us!"
A grin spread across the Hei Kong Ghost Ancestor's face as his stare locked onto Yang Chen.
"You expect me to buy that nonsense? The moment I fork over the Primordial Treasure, you'll slay me on the spot," Yang Chen mocked.
"Yang Chen, you're out of leverage right now. Obediently hand it over, and we might grant you mercy. Resist, and watch out—you may not even keep your corpse whole," the Hei Kong Ghost Ancestor menaced.
"I've slipped away twice before. What makes you think I can't do it a third time?" Yang Chen shot back icily.
The Hei Kong Ghost Ancestor's visage darkened abruptly. He recalled Yang Chen's prior escape vividly, yet he doubted the boy could repeat that trick endlessly. Could he pull it off again?
With no alternatives left, Yang Chen resolved to activate his final Liuli Talisman.
Deploying this last Liuli Talisman meant utter doom if caught once more, with zero escapes remaining.
Deep down, Yang Chen sighed helplessly, resigned to his fate.
Yet right as he prepared to unleash the final Liuli Talisman, an overwhelming pressure erupted from afar, blanketing the whole area.
This sudden force jolted both the Night Ghost Ancestor and Hei Kong Ghost Ancestor.
"A Heavenly Extreme Realm?" The two titans discerned it instantly.
Before they could fully respond, world energies surged in wildly and boldly, launching a direct assault without warning.
These invading powers forced the Night Ghost and Hei Kong Ghost Ancestors to recoil in alarm, pulling back while keeping their energies primed and alert.
"Even after years without battle, your power hasn't waned a bit." Several silhouettes emerged slowly, the speaker being none other than the familiar Ye Shan Dao Ancestor to Yang Chen.
The advent of Ye Shan Dao Ancestor alongside two companions brought three Heavenly Extreme Realm experts into play, filling Yang Chen with elation. He never dreamed his own clan's Heavenly Extreme Realm elders would rush to his aid in this place.
"Ye Shan, Spirit Communication, what brings you here?" The Hei Kong Ghost Ancestor exclaimed in astonishment.
"Hmph, why not? Our human prodigy is cornered here. Tell me, how could we stay away? If we didn't intervene now, wouldn't you Netherworld scum harm our brilliant human talent?" Ye Shan Dao Ancestor rebuked sharply.
Inwardly, he reeled with shock. He'd pegged Yang Chen's cultivation at Heaven-separated Realm initially, but up close now, it shone as mid-stage Heavenly Destiny Realm.
How had he surged to mid-stage Heavenly Destiny Realm so swiftly? Ye Shan Dao Ancestor couldn't fathom it, but safeguarding Yang Chen was paramount.
Anyone advancing this rapidly was a priceless gem.
Yang Chen stood as a veritable trove of riches now.
Exchanging glances, Spirit Communication and Ye Shan Dao Ancestors shared a single resolve.
Shield Yang Chen at all costs.
Without hesitation, Yang Chen darted to the side of Ye Shan Dao Ancestor and Spirit Communication Ancestor.
Sheltered by these three Heavenly Extreme Realm guardians, he was secure for the moment.
"Thank you, Daozu," Yang Chen expressed.
Ye Shan Dao Ancestor regarded Yang Chen with warmer approval, nodding smilingly before addressing the Hei Kong Ghost Ancestor and Night Ghost Ancestor: "Nothing more to say? Then we'll take him and depart."
Ye Shan Dao Ancestor's declaration made the Hei Kong Ghost Ancestor and Night Ghost Ancestor bristle with rage and tension.
"Think you can just walk away that easily?" No way would the Hei Kong Ghost Ancestor and Night Ghost Ancestor permit their escape—they unleashed their techniques, charging at the three Daozu.
All three Daozu anticipated today's departure wouldn't come cheap and stood battle-ready.
Ye Shan Dao Ancestor bellowed, "We can't drag this out, everyone. This is Netherworld turf, the Outer Darkflow Universe. At least four Heavenly Extreme Realm masters lurk here. A prolonged clash would cost us dearly."
"No issue—we'll hold them off awhile and let them pull back first," Spirit Communication Daozu declared. Words barely out, his blazing fury propelled him forward, smashing into the two Ghost Ancestors.
"Yang Chen, head out ahead. We've cracked open the Dark Flow Universe exit. Slip away whenever ready. Beyond the Dark Flow Universe, Netherworld powerhouses can't touch you," Ye Shan Dao Ancestor instructed.
Yang Chen wavered, "But..."
"But what?" Ye Shan Dao Ancestor queried, baffled.
"But... I've purged countless powerhouses across the Dark Flow Universe, freeing hordes of clans and factions. You seniors are aware," Yang Chen explained.
Ye Shan Dao Ancestor pondered deeply, "Those mighty ones hold immense worth. Whisking them all out would prove hugely beneficial. But can you gather them swiftly?"
"One day—that's all I need to evacuate them completely," Yang Chen affirmed.
His spacetime mastery would suffice amply in a single day.
Ye Shan Dao Ancestor's face grew stern as he intoned gravely, "Fine then. I'll buy you that day. Yang Chen, stirring such chaos in the Netherworld and hauling back legions of powerhouses—this merits massive merit. This old man stands with you. Hurry now, no more dawdling—get moving!"
With those words, Yang Chen sprang skyward and blinked out of sight.
