The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms Chapter 3486 - 3481: Discussing Countermeasures_1
Previously on The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms...
With but a single person's might, over a dozen Heavenly Fate Realm experts were annihilated in an instant. Such a breathtaking display left every member of the Dragon Clan in attendance utterly stunned.
While Dragons possess immense pride, it doesn't equate to a foolish arrogance. Their pride stems from their inherent freedom from the control of any other race. However, Yang Chen's current strength ascended to a level far beyond their comprehension!
"It is indeed Brother Yang Chen."
A voice from the Dragon Clan broke the silence, and the other powerhouses quickly recognized him as well. Several elder Dragons, including the former Red Tree Dragon King, had encountered Yang Chen before. Witnessing his cultivation now at the Heavenly Fate Realm and this miraculous feat, they were overwhelmed with astonishment.
"Young Master!" Golden Claw surged forward, his excitement palpable.
Yang Chen chuckled, "Golden Claw, your cultivation has advanced significantly over these years."
"Compared to you, Young Master, I still trail far behind," Golden Claw replied with a sigh, touching his nose.
He had inherited the legacy of the Five-clawed Golden Dragon Emperor to ensure the revival of their race and, secondly, to avoid holding Yang Chen back. Yet, upon their reunion, he found himself still vastly outmatched. Yang Chen had reached the late stage of the Heavenly Fate Realm, while Golden Claw remained only at the initial stage.
"There is no need for us brothers to speak of holding each other back. I hurried here as soon as I received your message. As your brother, I could not simply stand by while your Dragon Clan faced peril. However, I confess, I was concerned your proud kin might reject my aid," Yang Chen admitted.
The other Dragon Kings were taken aback. The Red Tree Dragon King, however, let out a hearty laugh, "Brother Yang Chen, you jest! We are overjoyed to have your assistance. How could we possibly refuse your help?"
Having received Yang Chen's aid in the past, they certainly would not feign indifference now.
Golden Claw spoke softly, his voice tinged with regret, "Young Master, I am truly sorry to have troubled you."
"Hmm? Golden Claw, do not speak of trouble, lest I become truly unhappy. Are we not brothers if you continue to differentiate matters so clearly?" Yang Chen's brow furrowed slightly.
Hearing this, Golden Claw offered an apologetic smile, "My apologies. I simply did not wish to burden you so heavily."
"Well, that remains to be seen, depending on whether the Spirit God Race can actually trouble me. Furthermore, this is hardly the place for such discussions. Let us proceed into Dragon City first. After today's confrontation with the Spirit God Race, they will certainly not let this matter rest, and further conflicts are inevitable. You must remain vigilant," Yang Chen advised.
"Indeed, let us enter Dragon City and properly host Brother Yang Chen," the Red Tree Dragon King declared with a smile.
Despite the Dragon Clan's inherent pride, Yang Chen's potent display of strength had undeniably won their respect.
Moreover, at this critical juncture where their very survival was at stake, to cling to arrogance when aid was offered would be the height of foolishness.
Putting aside their pride, a contingent of the Dragon Clan led Yang Chen into Dragon City, ensuring his reception was impeccably perfect.
Even Yang Chen felt a flicker of surprise, as such an exceptional level of hospitality from the Dragon Clan was rarely bestowed upon anyone.
However, Yang Chen was never one to bask in fame or fortune, and he paid little heed to the elaborate reception. He got straight to the point.
"Golden Claw, when precisely did the Spirit God Race commence their full-scale assault upon Taiyuan Star?" Yang Chen inquired.
"It has been approximately a century. Initially, the situation was manageable. However, due to the incident at Bi Shuangxing, humanity was preoccupied, leaving our Dragon Clan vulnerable and allowing the Spirit God Race to act with even greater impunity," Golden Claw recounted, clenching his teeth.
Yang Chen stated calmly, "It appears the Spirit God Race is truly intent on subjugating your Dragon Clan."
"The Dragon Clan holds a unique significance for the Spirit God Race. Based on intelligence we've acquired, the Spirit God Race possesses a method to refine our kin into forms of their choosing, thereby augmenting their own power," the Red Tree Dragon King explained, shaking his head.
A sudden realization dawned upon Yang Chen.
Asura.
The Asura race predated the Spirit God Race's ascent in the preceding era. Subsequently, the Spirit God Race annihilated the Asura, refining them into their desired forms and absorbing their strength. While the Dragon Clan might not surpass the Asura in raw power, their refinement by the Spirit God Race would undoubtedly result in a significant increase in the latter's might.
Unaware of this grim reality, humanity had shown little concern.
"If that is the case, then the Spirit God Race's willingness to cede some of their strength on Bi Shuangxing to forcibly capture the Dragon Clan becomes understandable," Yang Chen mused, his hands clasped behind his back.
A Dragon King expert observed Yang Chen, a hint of concern in his voice. "Brother Yang Chen, the Spirit God Race has deployed Heavenly Extreme Realm powerhouses, and Daozu Huanxing's might is truly terrifying. We are no match for them. While your strength is considerable, you are still in the Heavenly Fate Realm. Should you not have sought additional reinforcements..."
The Dragon King powerhouse seemed somewhat embarrassed by his own words.
Yang Chen's response was direct and resolute: "If there were human experts available to assist, do you believe I would have arrived alone?"
For the Divine Night Sect, Yang Chen's presence was deemed more critical than the entirety of the Dragon Clan.
Nevertheless, if no aid could be mustered, then none would arrive. In the eyes of humanity, the Dragon Clan held negligible importance compared to Bi Shuangxing.
"This..." A collective bewilderment fell upon the group of Dragon King powerhouses.
Golden Claw cleared his throat as if to punctuate his statement. "Esteemed Dragon Kings, as long as our young master is present, he will undoubtedly possess a method to overcome this crisis. At this moment, human aid is too distant to arrive promptly. Let us instead focus on how to strategize using our current strength against the Spirit God Race's formidable experts."
The Dragon King powerhouses exhibited a slight sense of relief upon hearing Golden Claw's words.
Indeed, Golden Claw's counsel had a noticeable calming effect.
"We shall abide by the directives of the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon Emperor," the Dragon Kings declared, bowing their heads in deference and proceeding with obedience.
Golden Claw then directed his gaze towards Yang Chen.
Yang Chen spoke with a casual tone, "Worried Dragon Kings, your extensive experience and profound wisdom should grant you broad perspectives. There is no need to adhere solely to Golden Claw's pronouncements; feel free to offer your own insights. However, from my vantage point, conventional methods offer little solace at this juncture. The Spirit God Race's offensive is inevitable, and the involvement of Daozu-level beings in their assault is entirely plausible."
"Then, what course of action should we take..." the assembled Dragon King powerhouses inquired.
Yang Chen stretched languidly, his voice calm. "It is simple: we shall abandon Tianyuan Star."
"Abandon Tianyuan Star? This is impossible!"
"Does this not equate to us fleeing?"
"This... To abandon Tianyuan Star means forsaking our ancestral home."
Many of the Dragon Kings shook their heads, a palpable reluctance and sorrow evident in their sighs.
The Red Tree Dragon King intervened, his voice earnest. "Fellow Daoists, if we can secure our survival by departing Tianyuan Star, then a second home can surely be found. Let us not cling stubbornly to what is lost! Our inability to escape before was due to circumstances beyond our control, but if abandoning Tianyuan Star allows us to live, then it is a monumental salvation. Brother Yang Chen, I have some comprehension of your mastery over spacetime techniques. You can depart at will, but can you also escort our Dragon Clan with you...?"
