The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms Chapter 3474 - 3469: The Heavenly Thunder Tree Appears_1
Previously on The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms...
Cornered by Ling Bie Daozu to such a degree, Yang Chen understood that without employing other tactics, he might indeed face death at Ling Bie's hands today.
However, Yang Chen had always possessed a multitude of plans.
The various treasures he acquired within the Forbidden Spirit Palace remained largely untapped until this moment.
To counter the fierce assault of the long spear, Yang Chen first summoned the Hellfire Mountain. With a deafening roar, it materialized instantly, engulfed in blistering flames.
The resultant explosion was so potent that it sent the long spear hurtling back a considerable distance. Ling Bie Daozu's expression flickered with surprise as he observed Yang Chen, a hint of disbelief lingering.
Yang Chen had succeeded in repelling his World Treasure.
The Hellfire Mountain, a World Treasure originating from within the Forbidden Spirit Palace, surpassed the quality of World Treasures found elsewhere by a significant margin.
Yang Chen continued his relentless offensive, showing no intention of pausing.
Observing that his long spear had been repelled by a single maneuver, he promptly directed the Hellfire Mountain to descend upon Ling Bie Daozu with remarkable speed.
Were an observer to witness Yang Chen, a cultivator at the World Stage, confronting a powerhouse of the Heavenly Extreme Realm and still managing to launch a counterattack, the spectacle would undoubtedly be astonishing.
Ling Bie Daozu, too, was taken aback. Yet, as the Hellfire Mountain swept towards him, he reacted with haste, conjuring a barrier imbued with the world's power, successfully intercepting Yang Chen’s attack.
Nevertheless, the ferocious flames emanating from the Hellfire Mountain refused to yield easily. They pierced directly through the barrier formed by the world's power, much like grasping hands, reaching for Ling Bie Daozu.
It became evident that Ling Bie Daozu could not maintain his composure, as his world power had failed to contain Yang Chen's magical treasure.
Under these circumstances, it would be challenging for Ling Bie Daozu to even subdue Yang Chen, let alone vanquish him.
With no alternative, Ling Bie Daozu let out a roar, abandoning all restraint. Just as the Hellfire Mountain was about to overwhelm him, he unleashed his other World Treasure.
This World Treasure manifested as a golden-maned lion possessing two heads, lending it a particularly fierce appearance.
Upon its materialization, the two-headed lion grew to a colossal size under Ling Bie Daozu's command and charged directly at Yang Chen's Hellfire Mountain.
With its tearing jaws, the flames originating from Yang Chen's Hellfire Mountain were completely consumed by the lion's twin heads. All that remained was the depleted mountain, clearly struggling against the ferocity of the two-headed lion.
Yang Chen's brow furrowed with concern, and he murmured, "A World Treasure imbued with the rule of devouring, intertwined with Dao techniques?"
Perceiving the diminishing effectiveness of the Hellfire Mountain, Yang Chen swiftly summoned the Bewildering Soul Mountain, which immediately enveloped Ling Bie Daozu in a tight embrace.
In the subsequent moment, he uttered a few hushed words, summoning the Crimson Ox Soul and the Spirit of the Firefox to assault the two-headed lion.
These two spirit entities were specifically designed for combating souls. Although the two-headed lion had been transformed into a World Treasure, it still retained a soul from its living existence!
Now, besieged by the two spirit entities, the two-headed lion emitted a mournful cry.
"Shatter for me!"
Boom!
The thunderous impact startled Yang Chen. Turning his gaze, he discovered that his Bewitching Mountain Range had been reduced to fragments by Ling Bie Daozu. Ling Bie Dao Ancestor, witnessing Yang Chen on the verge of subduing his two-headed lion, roared in fury, "Yang Chen, good, good, good! You shall bear witness to my self-created Dao techniques!"
In an instant, Ling Bie Dao Ancestor stomped his foot upon the ground, and the long spear that Yang Chen had previously repelled reappeared.
Grasping the long spear, Ling Bie Dao Ancestor once again launched an assault on Yang Chen.
However, this time, an uncountable number of Ling Bie Dao Ancestors materialized behind him, each wielding a long spear and directing their aim toward Yang Chen.
Upon observing this, Yang Chen's expression shifted subtly. While initially not overly concerned, he quickly discerned a greater complexity at play.
"What manner of Dao technique is this?"
Yang Chen's pupils constricted in disbelief.
As anticipated, this Heavenly Extreme Realm powerhouse possessed formidable abilities. These myriad illusions, appearing illusory, were in fact potent, having been formed through a transformation of laws. Yet, these laws must be exceptionally unique, at least to the extent that he had never encountered anything similar.
Countless afterimages now descended upon him. Though they might not possess the full might of the primary entity, their overwhelming onslaught rendered even him, a cultivator of the Heavenly Fate Realm, incapable of withstanding them.
This was Ling Bie Dao Ancestor's signature formidable technique.
In that critical moment, Yang Chen gritted his teeth and urgently summoned his ultimate trump card, the Primordial Treasure Heavenly Thunder Tree.
With the appearance of the Heavenly Thunder Tree, thunder and lightning swirled around it, coalescing into a colossal beast that charged at the myriad of afterimages.
Following this intense confrontation, a searing heat radiated from Yang Chen’s chest. He perceived a subtle struggle within the Heavenly Thunder Tree under the relentless assault.
Nevertheless, as a Primordial Treasure, the Heavenly Thunder Tree rightfully bore its name. Once unleashed by Yang Chen, it managed to completely neutralize the fierce onslaught.
When the dense thunder and lightning finally receded, Yang Chen stood completely unharmed, and the Heavenly Thunder Tree remained undamaged.
Witnessing this, Ling Bie Dao Ancestor's pupils constricted in disbelief.
That technique was his ultimate move! Normally, even powerhouses at the Heavenly Extreme Realm were forced to retreat from his attacks. Yet, Yang Chen had managed to block it. How was this even possible?!
Yang Chen couldn’t spare a moment to dwell on Ling Bie Dao Ancestor’s stunned expression. He then let out a cold chuckle, “Ling Bie Dao Ancestor, I’ve toyed with you for quite some time, and it seems you still can’t kill me. I shall depart now. I wonder what you’ll do when I, alive and well, expose your clandestine dealings.”
With a sneer, Yang Chen leaped away.
Although the Heavenly Thunder Tree had been summoned, it was evident that it offered little significant advantage.
His soul body could, at best, hold off the two-headed lion; it was insufficient to resist it. Should the true battle continue, he would undoubtedly be at a disadvantage.
For the moment, he had to concede that a considerable gap existed between him and Ling Bie Dao Ancestor.
However, this did not concern him, as such gaps could be gradually bridged.
“The refinement of the Seven-Colored Liuli Mine is merely one step away from completion. Ling Bie Dao Ancestor, there is no rush on my part. The vast underground of Bi Shuangxing was where I initially intended to search for Zhang Xuelian and explore. However, your aggression has forced my hand. Allow me to find a suitable location to first refine the Seven-Colored Liuli Mine.” Yang Chen’s gaze sharpened.
In the very next instant, he leaped and vanished, his destination unknown.
How could Ling Bie Dao Ancestor possibly allow Yang Chen to escape so readily? He absolutely had to pursue and eliminate Yang Chen, as panic and fear consumed him!
If Yang Chen managed to escape, it would inevitably be his own demise.
