The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms Chapter 3461 - 3456: Release Them? No!_1

Many believed Yang Chen had gone mad the moment he first spoke those words.

Regardless of your strength, Yang Chen—even if you're at the late Heaven-appointed Realm stage, nearly reaching Daozu level—you remain confined to the Heaven-appointed Realm.

You still lag one full level behind any Daozu.

What's more, Yang Chen himself lingers only at the mid-stage of Heaven-appointed Realm.

Yet he boldly demanded Spirit Different Taoist Ancestor mend his tone when addressing him, radiating such supreme confidence that everyone assumed Yang Chen's mind had snapped.

Princess Wen Qi and White Browed Taoist Ancestor shook with sheer fury.

However, once they laid eyes on the object clutched in Yang Chen's hand, they grasped that his boldness stemmed from solid grounds.

For those six massive characters adorned that token.

Protector Emperor!

Yang Chen!

Forging a Protector Emperor token is utterly impossible, just as borrowing one defies all reason. Every such token bears the bearer's sole name, symbolizing their supreme service to humanity and irreplaceable prestige.

The very instant Yang Chen unveiled the Protector Emperor token, dead silence blanketed the entire venue, devoid of any noise.

All the mighty experts found it impossible to swallow the truth staring them down.

"Protector... Protector Emperor!"

"How is this possible, this!"

Princess Wen Qi and White Browed Taoist Ancestor’s pupils shrank sharply, blending shock with ecstasy.

Princess Wen Qi smacked her forehead, "I should have realized—given Yang Chen’s confident return this time, he must have claimed the Protector Emperor title. Yet I never dared dream he'd secure it within mere decades."

White Browed Taoist Ancestor sighed deeply, "Unbelievable, unbelievable. I never foresaw our Divine Night Sect gaining such a youthful Protector Emperor."

Protector Emperor commands a matchless position.

Indeed, with Yang Chen gripping that token, Spirit Different Taoist Ancestor—who moments before barked arrogantly—went completely mute.

Yang Chen thrust forth the token while his razor-sharp gaze scanned the crowd.

"You should recognize this token. If you do, is this the way you treat me?" Yang Chen declared in a grave tone.

Heaven-appointed Realm and Heavenly-separated Realm elites from Grand Abyss Palace clenched their jaws and intoned, "Greetings, Emperor Yang Chen!"

Should they skip paying homage to Protector Emperor Yang Chen, he held full authority to slay them outright!

Daozu powerhouses alone match the Protector Emperor's standing.

Hence Spirit Different Taoist Ancestor avoided uttering 'Emperor Yang Chen.' Still, his lethal intent and wrath had quietly ebbed considerably.

"Yang Chen!"

Spirit Different Taoist Ancestor could only stew in inner rage, masking it from his expression.

He realized any facial slip would ultimately doom himself.

Yang Chen eyed Spirit Different Taoist Ancestor’s veiled bitterness, feeling vast relief wash over him. The fury bottled up across years erupted at last today.

This formed a core piece of his original scheme.

Grand Abyss Palace alone would resort to the vile ploy of seizing the weak to pressure the strong.

He pursued every trace relentlessly, aiming to expose Spirit Different Daozu and shame him profoundly.

Yang Chen now mocked, "Spirit Different Daozu, Xuanyang Palace Master, what’s up? You are so eager to mobilize the troops, bring so many people, and come to our Divine Night Sect. Are you dissatisfied with me, Yang Mou? Or is it that you think there is a problem with my new status as Protector Emperor?"

Xuanyang Palace Master cast another profound glance at Yang Chen’s token and responded, "Yang Chen, my friend, you have misunderstood. With your massive contributions to humanity, we can’t possibly have any ill intentions towards you.

We just came here today to check on the welfare of several disciples who were our guests at the Divine Night Sect. Since it has been confirmed, we will not stay any longer, and we will leave first."

Xuanyang Palace Master’s sudden politeness drew gasps of cold air from the onlookers.

Spirit Different Taoist Ancestor bristled inwardly yet concealed it, gnashing his teeth, "Palace Master, now that you’re leaving what about my men?"

Xuanyang Palace Master’s glance urged Spirit Different Taoist Ancestor to let it go.

But how could Spirit Different Taoist Ancestor endure such loss of face? He snapped at once, "Yang Chen, please release my men."

"Release them? Spirit Different Taoist Ancestor, what are you thinking?" Yang Chen declared. "To be frank, I truly despise you, Spirit Different Taoist Ancestor."

Humiliated in this way by Yang Chen, Spirit Different Daozu's face flushed with fury, and he snarled, "Yang Chen, what do you mean by that?"

Though Yang Chen held the title of Protector Emperor, Spirit Different Daozu's standing matched his own.

Yang Chen continued, "I’ve already told you, you only have the guts to oppress your own allies. Do you dare head to the battlefield and act all high and mighty against the Alien Tribes? Of course not. Back at the Earth Spirit Hall, I clashed with the Ghost Ancestor of the Netherworld and barely escaped with my life multiple times. My Protector Emperor title came from slaughtering endless foes, but you, Spirit Different Taoist Ancestor—how many Alien Tribes have you slain?"

Faced with Yang Chen's sharp questioning, Spirit Different Taoist Ancestor found himself speechless, with no way to counter.

Yang Chen's words struck deep into his core, leaving him utterly unable to reply.

Yang Chen pressed on, "Instead of using your time and resources to deploy experts against me, why not direct them toward battling the Alien Tribes? That's precisely why I hold you in such contempt."

"Yang Chen, you can't judge someone solely by their battles against Alien Tribes," Spirit Different Taoist Ancestor shot back in rage.

Yang Chen let out a cold sneer. "True enough, clashing with Alien Tribes isn't the only measure of worth. Yet if you refuse to fight them and instead turn your weapons on your own kin, rallying crowds to flaunt your might before your fellow humans—should I admire such behavior?"

"You..." Spirit Different Taoist Ancestor burned with the urge to strike Yang Chen down on the spot; this was outright condemnation.

Today, as Spirit Different Taoist Ancestor, his reputation lay utterly shattered.

Noticing Spirit Different Daozu's precarious position, Xuanyang Palace Master feared he might act rashly and interjected, "Yang Chen, we were too hasty in today's matter, and that's on us. But please, set Snow Eagle King and King Mu Tian free."

"No way." Yang Chen's gaze remained icy.

Never before had he pressed so hard, yet today demanded that he stand firm.

Xuanyang Palace Master's face darkened with displeasure; mutual respect was the norm, leaving him puzzled about Yang Chen's intentions.

Yang Chen spoke deliberately, "This Gu Zhuicheng once schemed to seize my disciple and drag her to the Grand Abyss Palace, claiming orders from his superiors. Clearly, those superiors are Snow Eagle King and King Mu Tian. Or perhaps you're confessing, Spirit Different Daozu, that you masterminded it all?"

Naturally, Spirit Different Daozu refused to own up to orchestrating it. He denied everything outright, retorting stubbornly, "Yang Chen, don't make baseless accusations. Evidence is required to condemn anyone. What proof exists that Gu Zhuicheng targeted your disciple?"

"What, doubting my account?" Yang Chen replied without emotion. "Hear this: my words today stand as evidence. My contributions to humanity—over a billion Jiyu Essences—serve as irrefutable proof!"
