The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms Chapter 3503 - 3498: The Ten Daozu’s Subordinates_1

The instant the ghost ancestor’s Ghost Qi was completely annihilated, Yang Chen seized the opportune moment, forcefully reinforcing the Space-Time Law.

Subsequently, a Time-Space Restriction was directly injected into the ghost ancestor’s very being.

For spectral entities, once their Ghost Qi dissipates, their soul body is exposed. To Yang Chen, who possesses mastery over the Path of Life and Death and the Space-Time Law, apprehending such a foe is as simple as subduing a defenseless maiden.

With this Time-Space Restriction meticulously applied, one ghost ancestor powerhouse found themselves completely ensnared by Yang Chen.

With a single ghost ancestor captured, securing the remaining one was merely a foregone conclusion. Under the relentless onslaughts of three Heavenly Extreme Realm powerhouses, the final ghost ancestor could not sustain their resistance for much longer. In a mere span of a tea’s time, this adversary too was subdued by the three Heavenly Extreme Realm experts and presented to Yang Chen, much like a war trophy.

"Yang Chen, dispatch me if you must, but do not expect to pry any secrets from my lips," the Ghost Ancestor declared defiantly, their spirit unbent.

Yang Chen merely shook his head: "I have no intention of killing you. However, I trust you will reciprocate this sentiment later. Serving the Netherworld? You will soon grasp the sheer folly of such an ambition."

Yang Chen then employed the Luo Tian Scripture, initiating the purification ritual once more.

The purification commenced with haste and concluded with equal speed. The two ghost ancestors were swiftly liberated from the Netherworld’s enslavement, their original forms restored.

Among the pair, one hailed from the Ruthless Beast Race, while the other was a male Insect Ancestor belonging to the Insect Race.

Both of these formidable individuals, for reasons unknown, had met their demise and subsequently fallen under the Netherworld’s thrall. Now, with their true selves reinstated and their memories reawakened, a profound sense of shame washed over them.

"Both of you, recall what is necessary," Yang Chen instructed.

The two Daoist Ancestor Experts felt a deep embarrassment, reflecting on their prior actions as ghost ancestors, how they had relentlessly harrassed Yang Chen, a memory that brought them great mortification.

This shame stemmed from the fact that they too had been slain by the Netherworld, only to be enslaved by it in the end.

"Insolent fiends!" The two Ghost Ancestors uttered through gritted teeth.

The three Heavenly Extreme Realm powerhouses, who had been previously subdued by Yang Chen, offered words of consolation with gentle smiles. "You two need not despair. We share your plight, having all been enslaved and manipulated by the Netherworld. But now, an opportunity presents itself. We can pledge our allegiance to Brother Yang Chen and exact vengeance upon the Netherworld. Let them comprehend the repercussions of crossing us. We are Daoist Ancestor Experts, after all. How can we permit such brazen audacity?"

Yang Chen calmly laid out the choices before the two recently purified Daoist Ancestor Experts.

Without much hesitation, the two Daoist Ancestor Experts immediately pledged their loyalty to Yang Chen, eager to join forces against the Netherworld.

This outcome brought considerable delight to Yang Chen, as he now commanded the service of five Daoist Ancestor Experts.

The addition of five Daoist Ancestor Experts dramatically amplified his overall combat prowess.

With such a formidable contingent, while confronting the Netherworld would not be a simple undertaking, it would also prove exceedingly difficult for the Netherworld to pose a significant threat to him.

And so, Yang Chen, at the head of his five Heavenly Extreme Realm powerhouses, commenced a widespread campaign throughout the Netherworld.

Should one desire intelligence concerning the Inner Area of the Dark Flow Universe, direct inquiry would suffice.

Upon seeking information, Yang Chen acquired comprehensive insights pertaining to the Inner Area of the Dark Flow Universe.

Having grasped the situation, Yang Chen was privately astonished to discover that the entirety of the Dark Flow Universe’s Inner Area harbored upwards of thirty Heavenly Extreme Realm ghost ancestors.

What does it signify to possess more than forty Heavenly Extreme Realm ghost ancestors?

In terms of human cultivators, there are merely over thirty Daoist Ancestor Experts. The Netherworld’s hidden strength is immense, boasting more than forty ghost ancestor level powerhouses.

Yang Chen privately mused, it appears Yan has indeed invested significant effort behind the scenes.

It is no wonder that despite the concerted assaults by various clans upon the Netherworld, their success has thus far been minimal.

After all, the various clans cannot possibly commit all their Heavenly Extreme Realm powerhouses. Bringing more than a dozen is already a remarkable feat. Even if they were to bring more, infiltrating the Dark Flow Universe's Inner Area would demand considerable time and energy. By the time they arrived, a significant portion of these powerhouses would likely be exhausted, rendering them ill-equipped to swiftly conquer the Inner Area and disrupt Yan’s Closed-Door Cultivation.

Yet, it is unfortunate for Yan that Yang Chen stands as his adversary.

Yan may have harbored numerous intricate schemes, but the Luo Tian Scripture encompasses not only the Death Scroll but also the Life Scroll.

Yang Chen’s Life Scroll perfectly neutralized Yan’s dreaded Death Scroll. Yang Chen was able to purify just as many powerhouses as Yan enslaved.

Swiftly, Yang Chen initiated his strategy, systematically targeting and dismantling small teams of ghost ancestors. Through this methodical approach, his initial contingent of five Daoist Ancestors rapidly expanded, first to six, then eight, and finally to ten!

This strategic expansion was accomplished in a remarkably short period.

With ten Daoist Ancestor-level powerhouses now at his command, even Yang Chen couldn't help but feel a sense of accomplishment.

However, this very success served as a harsh lesson for the ghost ancestor powerhouses, making them acutely aware that their defenses had been breached.

Consequently, these powerhouses began to consolidate, forming larger groups and venturing out collectively, leading to a noticeable decrease in the appearance of smaller formations.

Furthermore, the patterns of the ghost creatures’ manifestations underwent a complete alteration, deviating entirely from the intelligence Yang Chen had previously gathered from the Daoist Ancestor Experts.

As a direct result of these changes, Yang Chen found it considerably more challenging to locate suitable prey compared to the initial stages.

Fully comprehending the root cause of this increased difficulty, Yang Chen was compelled to abandon any notion of taking shortcuts and instead retreated to his former position.

Upon his arrival back, Yang Chen witnessed a dramatic scene: a group of human Heavenly Extreme Realm powerhouses were locked in an intense engagement with ghost ancestors from the Netherworld.

This was no mere skirmish; it was a full-blown conflict involving over a dozen Heavenly Extreme Realm powerhouses.

The sheer scale of this battle, featuring so many elite Heavenly Extreme Realm cultivators, was truly astounding. At this pinnacle of power, even those who had reached the Heavenly Extreme Realm could scarcely guarantee their own safety.

"Only six Human Experts have managed to enter, yet the ghost ancestors number eight, a clear majority. Facing these depleted Daoist Ancestors, it appears our side is at a distinct disadvantage," Yang Chen murmured to himself.

These Daoist Ancestors had already expended significant energy during their entry, leaving them in a precarious state against the onslaught of the eight ghost ancestors.

The ghost ancestors, displaying extreme savagery, bellowed with vicious intent, "All you humans deserve to perish! Where is Yang Chen? Speak up!"

These enraged ghost ancestors unleashed their fury, their movements akin to a cornered beast whose tail had been stepped upon.

The group of Human Experts remained oblivious to Yang Chen’s exact location. Even if they had known, loyalty would have prevented them from divulging such information. They continued to fight a desperate battle against the ghost ancestors.

Nevertheless, the Human Experts’ resilience began to wane. They started to falter, losing ground across the board and gradually being pushed back.

"Since you are all so obstinate, you shall all meet your demise. Eliminating your group of Human Experts will make this endeavor worthwhile. If we cannot obtain Yang Chen’s head, we shall take yours as a substitute!"
