The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms Chapter 3132 - 3127: Lord of Dusk_1
Previously on The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms...
It was likely due to their superior numbers that Yanhe Celestial had displayed such cold confidence before, mockingly remarking, "Killing someone here wouldn’t be heard by anyone else, right?"
"Brother Yanhe, even if you struck this brat down in a crowded place, who would dare raise their voice against you?"
"Precisely. For tens of thousands of years, no one has dared to meddle in the affairs surrounding the Sky Shadow Market, hahaha."
The two Boundaryless cultivators traded grins, fully convinced that Yang Chen was incapable of causing any trouble under these circumstances.
"Kid, I warned you before. The Danyang Red Snowflower is indeed a treasure, but spending 70 million on it doesn't mean you'll get to keep it. It would be a shame to end up with nothing. However, I am not a heartless man. If you hand over the treasure and kowtow to me, hehe, I might just let you live." Yanhe Celestial said, narrowing his eyes.
In truth, he had no intention of letting Yang Chen survive. He simply wanted to humiliate him to satisfy his own spite.
The gravity of the situation had already petrified Ling Shuang and Chunyue, leaving them trembling uncontrollably.
While Yang Chen was formidable, he was but a single Boundaryless cultivator; how could he possibly stand against three opponents of the same rank simultaneously?
Yang Chen, however, met the trio’s gaze with a mocking smile. Displaying neither fear nor haste, he remarked, "The three of you mentioned earlier that this area is secluded and empty, didn't you?"
"That is true, so what of it?" Yanhe Celestial’s smirk began to falter. Seeing the unshakable self-assurance on Yang Chen’s face, he felt an ominous sensation creeping over him.
Yang Chen adjusted his sleeve, "Nothing much. I only wanted to mention that I picked this spot with a peaceful heart. Just as you said, whatever happens here won't be discovered by outsiders."
The three of them burst into laughter upon hearing Yang Chen’s bold implication.
Nevertheless, the veins on Yanhe Celestial’s forehead throbbed with fury.
"Enough, stop this nonsense. If this brat is so eager for death, then grant him his wish." Yanhe Celestial barked, though an unexplainable tension had gripped him.
The other two failed to notice Yanhe Celestial's unease, believing that disposing of Yang Chen would be a simple task.
"No problem, we shall follow Brother Yanhe’s lead!"
With those words, the three of them launched a coordinated assault, lunging toward Yang Chen.
Ling Shuang and Chunyue were certain their lives were forfeit. As Yang Chen’s attendants, they knew they would not be spared if their master fell.
Believing their end had come, tears streamed down their faces. They didn't bother pleading for mercy, knowing it was futile. Yang Chen had treated them with kindness, and they felt this was merely a cruel stroke of fate.
However, just as they braced for the end, they realized the expected blow from Yanhe Celestial and his companions never landed.
Instead, they felt an icy, piercing wave erupt from the center of the clearing, saturating the entire area.
And then...
When Ling Shuang and Chunyue opened their eyes, they were stunned to see Yanhe Celestial and his two allies frozen in place.
"What?!"
The two maids could hardly trust their own senses. The arrogant Yanhe Celestial and the other Boundaryless cultivators were now paralyzed, their eyes bulging with terror, utterly suppressed and unable to stir.
The trio was equally shocked. In a mere heartbeat, before Yang Chen had even made a significant move, a domain had been unleashed that stripped them of all power to resist.
"Just what kind of expert are you?" Yanhe Celestial stammered, his voice laced with rising panic.
Yang Chen remained expressionless. With a casual flick of his wrist, the two other Boundaryless cultivators were instantly crushed to death by the sheer pressure of the domain.
Blood sprayed across the ground, leaving only Yanhe Celestial alive amidst the carnage.
Ling Shuang and Chunyue stared with wide, disbelieving eyes.
Boundaryless cultivators had been killed just like that?
Exactly how powerful was Yang Chen?
Yanhe Celestial swallowed hard, his mind consumed by a paralyzing dread. He no longer harbored any thoughts of fighting; his only desire was to cling to life.
Terrified to his core, he wailed for mercy, "Great Immortal, Esteemed Sir, I failed to recognize Mount Tai! Please spare my life, I beg of you, do not kill me!"
Yang Chen cast a frigid look at Yanhe Celestial.
Yanhe Celestial realized his pleas were falling on deaf ears; Yang Chen’s killing intent was absolute.
"If—if you kill me, the Lord of Dusk will surely find you!" Yanhe Celestial screamed.
But as the threat left his lips, a flash of bloody light reduced his body to nothingness. Yang Chen had executed him on the spot.
Silence returned.
A heavy, death-like quiet filled the air.
Ling Shuang and Chunyue were too shaken to speak, their eyes now filled with a new sense of reverence. They realized they were serving an incredibly powerful master.
Yang Chen walked away, his hands clasped behind his back, calmly stating, "Let us move on."
...
To Yang Chen, eliminating three Boundaryless cultivators was a minor distraction he barely gave a second thought to.
Upon returning to his quarters, Yang Chen went back to his Cultivation. His primary goal was to restore his strength to its former glory.
Utilizing the Danyang Red Snowflower, he concocted a specialized recovery elixir designed specifically for his condition.
Given his advanced Alchemy skills and the quality of the ingredients, the process was straightforward.
Yang Chen completed the refinement with ease.
Once the elixir was ready, he consumed it immediately.
In less than ten days, his Cultivation Level surged, rising from the Late Boundaryless Stage to the very Peak of No-Boundary!
While in the Barren Black Hole, his Five Elements Dao Intent had mysteriously advanced through the Middle and Late stages, reaching the Peak of No-Boundary as well.
This advancement in his Five Elements Dao Intent significantly boosted his fighting strength. Even he wasn't entirely sure of the limits of his current power.
It was at the moment his Cultivation reached the Peak of No-Boundary that Yang Chen’s soul suddenly picked up several disturbances.
"Hm? A Sky Separation Realm expert is approaching, and they seem to be targeting me?"
Just as Yang Chen sensed the intruder, a colossal pressure descended from the heavens.
"Enough! Since you are aware this King has arrived, why do you remain hidden inside? Do you truly believe these walls can keep me out? Come out!"
The thunderous voice vibrated through Spirit Emperor City, reaching the ears of every inhabitant.
"It is the Lord of Dusk!"
Ling Shuang, Chunyue, and the other servants were well aware of the Lord of Dusk’s reputation. They couldn't help but cry out in fear when they saw the figure hovering in the sky.
The Lord of Dusk was counted among the Sixteen Kings. Why would such a figure appear here to confront Yang Chen?
