The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms Chapter 3450 - 3445: Crazy Squandering!_1

One could easily grasp with a mere thought that the perks and privileges granted to a Heavenly Defender—a legendary title beyond even most Daoist Ancestors—must be extraordinarily immense.

Everyone is fully aware of the Protector Emperor's formidable powers by now, leaving no room for secrecy.

Yet, after careful reflection, Yang Chen opted to set it aside temporarily.

By his estimates, transforming every subordinate into a mighty Heavenly Defender would demand a staggering five hundred million Jiyu Essence for the promotions.

Scarcely could he amass such a colossal sum of Jiyu Essence without retaining all his Heavenly Fate Realm, Heaven-separated Realm, and Boundaryless cultivators.

For him individually, though, the Heavenly Defender title held less appeal right now than preserving these powerhouses.

His present Protector Emperor status already bestowed upon him tremendous benefits and advantages.

These powerhouses' aims were crystal clear, their eyes fixed covetously on his followers. Declaring he wouldn't retain any today would inevitably provoke their ire.

Yang Chen found himself in a brief dilemma.

After mulling it over, he spoke up, "Seniors, here's the situation. Without my aid, the soul bodies of these experts under me would soon dissipate. You understand my point. Thus, for their protection, suitable physical bodies must be secured."

"Yes, we understand," Several Daoist Ancestors' brows creased as they responded.

Locating fitting bodies might look straightforward, yet it's far more challenging than it seems.

To revive a Heavenly Fate Realm soul body at full Heavenly Fate Realm might, it demands a Heavenly Fate Realm physical form.

Where, though, does one readily obtain a Heavenly Fate Realm expert's corpse?

Noting the Daoist Ancestors' evident struggle, Yang Chen recognized the issue's complexity. He continued, "That's the heart of the matter. I'm planning to retain just the human experts' soul bodies for the moment. Seniors, sourcing compatible bodies for our own kind will be simpler for you. The non-human soul bodies? I'll forgo them. Bodyless, even if preserved, they offer little true benefit."

The Daoist Ancestor powerhouses seemed hesitant to settle for merely that.

Retaining every one of these powerhouses would vastly strengthen the Earth Spirit Hall, after all.

Upon deeper thought, however, procuring bodies for foreign races proves nearly impossible. Soulless, they might unleash Destiny Realm battle prowess temporarily, but how enduring is that? It's no viable path forward.

"Yang Chen, go ahead with your approach. Your suggestion stands as the wisest option currently," Ye Shan Dao Ancestor conceded with a nod of approval.

With that, Yang Chen eased up and declared, "Very well, then I'll preserve the soul bodies of the human powerhouses."

Once the discussion concluded, he began releasing the human experts' souls one after another from his inner world.

Freed into the open, they radiated joy, realizing they'd reentered human territory with prospects of revival and reclaiming fleshly forms.

Yang Chen addressed them, "Daoist friends, moving forward, you'll tread in our seniors' footsteps and rebirth within the Earth Spirit Hall."

"Thank you, Brother Yang Chen, for your kindness."

"No, call him Emperor Yang Chen now."

"Thank you, Emperor Yang Chen!"

These expert soul bodies proved sharp-minded; confined in the inner world, they'd observed all external events and hailed him with due respect.

Yang Chen offered a faint smile, "You're all far too courteous. As members of the same race, no divides should exist between us, regardless of location."

Ye Shan Dao Ancestor and the fellow experts chuckled deeply while gazing upon these powerhouse soul bodies.

"Hai Ling, Fei Tian, you two—devise methods to procure fitting powerful bodies without delay," Spirit Communication Ancestor instructed. "Old man here recalls several spares from my seclusion."

"Yes, Ancestor." The Heavenly Fate Realm experts promptly set to work.

"Yang Chen, we've got four Heavenly Fate Realm, seventeen Heaven-separated Realm, and one hundred twenty-one Boundaryless cultivators accounted for. Take this 150 million Jiyu Essence. Even without Heavenly Defender status, this fortune lets you dominate the Ancient Divine Realm's markets unchallenged," Ye Shan Dao Ancestor remarked, caressing his beard.

The remaining powerhouses watched him with undisguised envy.

Jiyu Essence serves as the prime currency for dealings across the Ancient Divine Realm.

Armed with such a hoard of Essence, at his present cultivation, what could Yang Chen possibly fail to purchase?

Walking sideways is completely natural for him now.

Yang Chen touched his nose and remarked, "I must thank the seniors for their generosity."

"This isn't about generosity at all. In any case, we'll promptly handle your Protector Emperor status. Soon, you'll get a Protector Emperor’s Identity Token. That token will symbolize your Protector Emperor position. Henceforth, across the whole human race, you'll be known as Emperor Yang Chen, holding rank way beyond all Heavenly Fate Realm powerhouses, on par with Daoist Ancestors," Ye Shan Dao Ancestor stated with cheer.

"Thank you, seniors," Yang Chen replied respectfully.

Without staying long, Yang Chen departed the council hall shortly.

In only a few days, Yang Chen's situation sparked yet another massive uproar. Everyone learned of the fresh human Protector Emperor, who turned out to be Yang Chen himself.

Going forward, when mighty experts spoke of him, they stopped using just Yang Chen and switched to Emperor Yang Chen.

The "Emperor" title holds a special place among humans.

This distinction is scarce, matching the prestige of "Daoist Ancestor".

Soon after getting back to Sky Opening Mountain, Yang Chen gained his unique Protector Emperor’s Token.

Grasping the token brought Yang Chen true peace of mind. It provided an Imperial Sword, protecting him even from Ling Bie Daoist Ancestor.

He intended to leave soon but aimed to savor his stay here first.

As the Daoist Ancestor masters mentioned, possessing heaps of Jiyu Essence lets Yang Chen strut through every market in the Ancient Divine Realm. Not spending freely would shortchange himself.

At Yang Chen’s current cultivation stage, most treasures offered little benefit.

Therefore, Yang Chen targeted enhancements for the Slaughter God Spear.

Jiyu Essence meant nothing to him; he snapped up all necessary rare materials to upgrade the Divine Weapon...

Millions of Jiyu Essence got spent in a flash!

No results?

He'd grab more—10 million Jiyu Essence.

Still ineffective? Then 20 million!
