The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms Chapter 3444 - 3439: The Whereabouts of the Primordial Treasure_1

Among the mighty figures rescued by Yang Chen were plenty of past human powerhouses.

Though these human powerhouses had become soul forms, their recollections from back then persisted. Take Ye Heng, for instance—he was formerly a supreme powerhouse among humans. Sadly, Netherworld Experts slew him, leaving him in this wretched condition.

Ye Shan Daozu and Ye Heng shared a moment of sentiment yet wasted no words, declaring outright: "No time to waste—let's move fast. Netherworld powerhouses might attack anytime, so we can't linger here."

Once Ye Shan Daozu spoke, the assembly of powerhouses didn't dawdle and rushed off swiftly.

Guided by the trio of Daozu Experts, they made it back securely under solid guard.

The trip to the human universe proceeded without hitches.

Upon entering the Human Universe, countless powerhouses exhaled in relief. Throughout the path, tension gripped many, dreading a pursuit by Netherworld experts.

Yet the Netherworld's mighty figures were now gripped by fear. After all, Yang Chen had single-handedly tamed numerous Netherworld Ghost Kings. Regardless of the Netherworld Ghost Ancestors' strength, they wouldn't recklessly pursue just a handful of Ghost Ancestors.

This very reason made Ye Shan Daozu, Communication Spiritual Daozu, and Tyron Palace Daozu regard Yang Chen with ever-growing admiration.

At last, the band of powerhouses reached the Earth Spirit Hall.

Word of their arrival at the Earth Spirit Hall spread like wildfire. The tale of Yang Chen's demise in the Earth Spirit Hall got shattered by these powerhouses' return.

Instantly, the whole Earth Spirit Hall erupted in massive commotion.

Indeed, Yang Chen's feats in the Earth Spirit Hall were already legendary. Legends told of him crushing Emperor-level Ghost Kings, clashing with the Spirit God Race, and claiming Origin Weapons. Every exploit merited grand festivities.

Yang Chen's comeback brought joy to some and dread to others.

Silver City topped the list of the deeply troubled.

Currently, Silver City paced restlessly in his chamber, his legs nearly buckling with each step.

"You're certain Yang Chen lives on? And he's stepped into the Heavenly Fate Realm?" Silver City questioned his underling.

Back when Communication Spiritual Daozu and the others ventured to the Netherworld, he had headed straight to the Earth Spirit Hall. As a Heavenly Fate Realm Early Stage cultivator, stepping into the Forbidden Spirit Palace drained him excessively. Even in the Netherworld, he couldn't offer real battle prowess, so he returned ahead with fellow powerhouses.

Since his arrival, unease had plagued Silver City.

More accurately, terror.

Plagued by guilt, how could fear not seize him? Should Yang Chen survive and confront him upon return, what excuse could he muster?

Yet, as the adage goes, fears often materialize. Yang Chen had indeed returned alive.

"Absolutely true. I've verified it completely. Chatter everywhere confirms Yang Chen's breakthrough to the Heavenly Fate Realm," the subordinate replied, voice quivering.

Panic surged through Silver City, making him shudder.

Yang Chen truly lived, and he'd advanced to the Heavenly Fate Realm?

"Why does this Yang Chen refuse to stay dead? Why?" Silver City balled his fists tightly.

...

Meanwhile, upon his return, Yang Chen swiftly got back into routine.

Once settled, he dove into secluded cultivation without delay. He was aware the Earth Spirit Hall's Daozu would soon seek him out—it was merely a question of when, as they'd probe every detail of his ordeals.

Truthfully, Yang Chen didn't have to wait long.

Merely over ten days post-return, sound transmissions from multiple Dao Ancestors summoned him to the Earth Spirit Hall's supreme meeting chamber, the Extinct Spirit Palace.

Labeling the Extinct Spirit Palace as the Earth Spirit Hall's top council hall was no stretch. Not even all Heavenly Fate Realm Early Stage powerhouses qualified for entry.

Yet now, both Yang Chen's realm and merits granted him full access.

At the entrance, guards stood at Heaven-separated Realm strength.

As Yang Chen approached, these powerhouses promptly cleared a path.

"Young friend Yang Chen has arrived."

Within the majestic expanse of the Extinct Spirit Palace sat five distinct-looking elders at the head. Flanking them were dozens of powerhouses, every one at Heavenly Destiny Realm Middle Stage or higher.

Just a handful lingered at Heavenly Destiny Realm Early Stage.

That powerful display of strength truly filled everyone with dread.

At present, plenty of people eyed Yang Chen with suspicion, while numerous others regarded him with deep admiration.

The bulk of these skeptical powerhouses had never set foot in the Netherworld or the Forbidden Spirit Palace. They had merely caught rumors about Yang Chen and remained unaware of the real story.

Individuals who had visited the Netherworld and Forbidden Spirit Palace fully grasped Yang Chen's terrifying prowess, particularly his commanding presence during the showdown with the Netherworld Ghost King, where he directed over twenty Heavenly Fate Realm Ghost Kings. It was impossible not to feel awe toward him.

"Yang Chen, we've heard of your exploits. Well done! But before we dive deeper, there's one matter we must clarify first. You know exactly what we're referring to," Fang Xuan Dao Ancestor inquired.

Yang Chen nodded and replied, "Senior wishes to ask about the Origin Weapons, correct?"

A few nodded in unison, proving Yang Chen's keen insight once more.

Ye Shan Daozu declared: "Yang Chen, word has it you claimed two Origin Weapons back then. Could you now explain the situation with those Origin Weapons? Rest assured, on the Origin Weapons matter, we'll offer a fair resolution in the end and won't exploit you."

Yang Chen had no reason to conceal it anymore.

He had refused to share with Silver City earlier, as there was nothing favorable to tell him.

With his response already prepared, he stated, "Indeed, this junior secured two Origin Weapons at that time. One was the Heavenly Thunder Tree, the other the Heaven Shaking Lock."

The onlookers gasped upon hearing this.

Yang Chen had truly seized two Origin Weapons. These three legendary treasures had ignited fierce battles among countless factions, yet he alone had taken two of them?

Yang Chen pressed on, "That said, only one of those two Origin Weapons remains in my hands. Seniors have likely already surmised the cause. On that day, this junior allied with the Insect Race, and their Heavenly Fate Realm powerhouses offered major assistance throughout the journey. There was no cause to withhold one from them; sparking conflict would have brought this junior nothing but trouble."
