The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms Chapter 3457 - 3452: After Beating the Younger, the Elder Comes_1

Challenging from Heaven-separated Realm against Heaven-appointed Realm— isn't that just begging for humiliation?

Snow Eagle King's face flushed crimson with shame. He realized he'd become a total laughingstock, an absolute joke.

"You!" Snow Eagle King uttered coldly.

Yang Chen's lips curved faintly: "What's wrong, Snow Eagle King fellow Daoist? Not convinced? Ready for another round?"

Snow Eagle King trembled inwardly. No matter his strength, he clearly understood the immense gap separating Heaven-separated Realm from Heaven-appointed Realm. He dared not clash with Yang Chen once more.

Humiliation burned through him as he declared, "Yang Chen, you're formidable. Today, I admit defeat!"

"Very well then, Snow Eagle King, I must ask you to remain at my Divine Night Sect for a few days," Yang Chen replied icily.

Deeply shamed yet powerless to resist, Snow Eagle King flicked his sleeve and responded, "No need to worry. I'll stay quietly as a guest in the Divine Night Sect for this time."

...

Thus, the clash between Yang Chen and Snow Eagle King wrapped up without any bloodshed, scarcely even starting.

Princess Wen Qi had watched the entire exchange between them.

At present, Princess Wen Qi stood alongside White Eyebrow Taoist, a member of the Divine Night Sect.

White Eyebrow Taoist and Princess Wen Qi had observed every moment of Yang Chen and Snow Eagle King's confrontation.

Princess Wen Qi knitted her brows in bewilderment: "What on earth is this young Yang Chen scheming? He seized Gu Zhui Cheng, and now he aims to confine Snow Eagle King in our Divine Night Sect? Won't that just make things explode?"

White Eyebrow Taoist chuckled, stroking his beard: "It's straightforward—this kid Yang Chen likely seeks to send a warning to Grand Abyss Palace. By holding Gu Zhui Cheng and now Snow Eagle King, his master's side won't stay silent. Yang Chen simply wants to lure out the true troublemakers against him and deliver a stinging blow."

Princess Wen Qi let out a sigh: "I get his intentions, but he's far too hasty. With only Heavenly Fate Realm Early Stage cultivation, directly provoking Grand Abyss Palace could backfire and cause our side heavy losses."

White Eyebrow Taoist massaged his brows: "At mere Heavenly Fate Realm Early Stage, acting so boldly is indeed premature. Yet..."

"Yet what?" Princess Wen Qi pressed.

White Eyebrow Taoist explained: "But remember, Junior Sister Wen Qi, back when Yang Chen was in Heaven-separated Realm battling Grand Abyss Palace, he never took a real hit. This boy's sharp and skilled. With his current Heavenly Fate Realm level, without solid assurance, would he dare such a move? Given his usual approach, he surely has some plan in place."

"I agree on that, yet I can't fathom where his assurance comes from..." Princess Wen Qi murmured.

White Eyebrow Taoist shared her curiosity: "Whatever the source of his confidence, Yang Chen's talent shines brilliantly. After venturing into Earth Spirit Hall, he broke into Heaven-appointed Realm. Reports from there praised his merits highly, though updates stopped for years. Who'd have thought he'd already reached Heaven-appointed Realm cultivation by now..."

...

Neither Princess Wen Qi nor White Eyebrow Taoist realized Yang Chen's true cultivation had long surpassed Heavenly Fate Realm Early Stage.

Right now, his power teetered on the edge of breaking into Destiny Realm Late-stage. Thanks to the Seven-colored Colored Glaze Mine and World Embryo, advancement loomed near. Still, Yang Chen understood that without a firm foundation, leveraging the Seven-colored Colored Glaze Mine for stable entry into World Life Stage remained uncertain.

On top of that loomed the issue of nurturing the Slaughter God Spear.

Across marketplaces and hidden realms in Earth Spirit Hall, he'd fed most spoils into the Slaughter God Spear to boost its might.

Progress was steady initially, but feeding in treasures like Ancient Essence Cold Iron later triggered a dramatic shift.

Following that, its weapon spirit plunged into deep slumber.

Yang Chen had been rushing back then, so he paid it little mind. Surprisingly, even after arriving at Divine Night Sect, the Slaughter God Spear showed no signs of awakening.

Yang Chen felt rather helpless, uncertain what profound transformation the Slaughter God Spear underwent this time. Yet from its aura, it appeared to have vaguely surpassed the bounds of a high-grade Emperor Divine Artifact.

Yang Chen felt joy surging within him, mingled with eager anticipation.

Thus, the report of Yang Chen capturing Gu Zhuicheng and the King of Snow Eagles started to circulate far and wide.

With Yang Chen making no attempt to hide or suppress the information, it propagated even more rapidly, swiftly arriving at the Grand Abyss Palace.

As one of the scarce Sky Separation Realm powerhouses in the Grand Abyss Palace, how could they possibly stand by idly when the King of Snow Eagles had been taken captive?

Merely over ten days later, a Heavenly Fate Realm powerhouse from the Grand Abyss Palace brought along more than a dozen cultivators of differing prowess to the gates of Divine Night Sect. Their intent was unmistakably aimed at Yang Chen, demanding answers.

Having seemingly foreseen this entire affair, Yang Chen calmly stepped out from Divine Night Sect.

"Your Excellency, you must be Mu Tianwang, the Master of the Snow Eagle King," Yang Chen said lazily.

The Heavenly Fate Realm leader possessed a clearly formidable cultivation base, and Yang Chen could readily discern his identity without much effort.

Warriors from the Grand Abyss Palace who battled the younger fighters now targeted their elders; it was all too predictable.

Mu Tianwang's voice boomed with aggression: "Yang Chen, you’ve got some nerve, daring to hold my disciple and grand-disciple in your Divine Night Sect!"

Yang Chen offered a faint smile: "Mu Tianwang, you’ve misunderstood me. I simply extended an invitation for your disciple and grand-disciple to visit our Divine Night Sect as guests. In fact, your disciple himself wished to remain here—I couldn’t dissuade him even if I tried. So why hold me accountable, Mu Tianwang?"

"What do you mean?" Mu Tianwang demanded coldly.

Yang Chen chuckled offhandedly: "Your disciple, the Snow Eagle King, challenged me to battle. He wagered that if defeated, he’d follow me back to Divine Night Sect willingly. And defeated he was. Since a man’s word is his bond, I couldn’t possibly dishonor Daoist friend Snow Eagle King’s prestige. Therefore, he’s staying at our Divine Night Sect for a few days, right?"

Veins of rage throbbed visibly on Mu Tianwang’s forehead as he snarled: "Yang Chen, are you toying with me? My disciple lose to you? What foul play did your Divine Night Sect resort to? Confess!"

Yang Chen’s expression abruptly chilled: "Mu Tianwang, I’ve treated you with courtesy; don’t mistake it for weakness. On the matter of schemes, you’re far more versed than I. As for your disciple’s loss to me—do you suppose a Heavenly Fate Realm cultivator like myself should have yielded to him?"

As the exchange concluded, Yang Chen’s Qi erupted forth in a sudden surge.
