The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms Chapter 3166 - 3161: Encountering an Ambush?_1
Previously on The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms...
Observing the King God Domain as it unfolded, Yang Chen wasted no time on pleasantries. In a flash, his Domain of Earth erupted, infused with his most potent Dao Intent.
Having moved from one intense conflict to the next, he was no longer the same person he once was.
As the domain expanded, its power was on an entirely different level. The initial collision with Xuan Zhen was so forceful that it sent the latter stumbling back several paces instantly.
"How can this be happening?!" Xuan Zhen’s eyes narrowed in shock.
During their previous encounter, his King God Domain had fought Yang Chen’s to a standstill. How could he be overwhelmed so rapidly this time?
Yang Chen’s Domain held the clear upper hand, forcing Xuan Zhen to endure a suffocating pressure radiating from the earth-based field.
"Deathly Silent Black Wind!"
Remaining motionless, Yang Chen summoned a massive torrent of Black Wind that roared forth, constricting around Xuan Zhen in dense, suffocating layers.
Xuan Zhen was consumed by rage. With a furious howl, he unleashed his full arsenal of techniques alongside his Destructive Law.
"Break for me!"
Xuan Zhen was well-acquainted with the Deathly Silent Black Wind. In their last fight, the Destructive Law had been sufficient to neutralize the threat.
However, he soon realized that the situation had fundamentally shifted.
Both Yang Chen’s Domain of Earth and his Deathly Silent Black Wind had grown significantly more formidable. Not only was the Destructive Law failing to dispel them, but Xuan Zhen’s other abilities were also beginning to buckle under the strain.
What he failed to realize was the change in his opponent's foundation.
When they last clashed, Yang Chen had not yet reached the Peak of No-Boundary. The transition to this level of Cultivation had brought about more than just a simple increase in strength.
"Five Elements Sky-turning Finger: Gold, Fire, Wood!"
Three massive fingers manifested and descended. Yang Chen held back his full power, curious to see what hidden cards Xuan Zhen might still be holding.
"Spacetime, Suppress!" Yang Chen commanded suddenly.
Combined with the Time-Space Suppression, the three fingers of the Five Elements Sky-turning Finger slammed down with devastating, physical force.
High above Shi Ye City, the powerful experts watching the scene were left speechless.
These veterans of countless years possessed a deep understanding of combat and knew exactly what this sight implied.
It wasn't a matter of who held a slight advantage.
No, Yang Chen was dominating Xuan Zhen in a near-crushing fashion once again.
As the three fingers fell, Xuan Zhen found himself unable to retreat. Overcome by a sudden surge of terror, he immediately manifested his Asura Soul Body.
"Ahhhh, break!" Xuan Zhen screamed as the Asura energy surged violently, fully revealing the Asura Soul Body. The force was enough to tear apart Yang Chen’s Five Elements Sky-turning Finger and shatter the Time-Space Suppression simultaneously.
Watching this, Yang Chen’s eyes narrowed, his gaze turning solemn.
The Asura Soul Body was undeniably bizarre, representing the true, terrifying essence of the Spirit God Royal Clan. Most of their other techniques could be countered through various means.
However, this Asura Soul Body was a persistent grievance.
Even the Five Elements Sky-turning Finger, backed by his current Cultivation, struggled to contain it and had been ripped asunder.
Refusing to delay, Yang Chen raised his hand, preparing to utilize Necromancy to seize control of the Asura Soul Body.
But Xuan Zhen had learned from his past mistakes. The moment he saw Yang Chen preparing the same Necromancy technique, he instantly deactivated the spell and fled without a single word.
He understood now that he was no match for Yang Chen. The man was a monster whose growth in such a short period was incomprehensible.
Yang Chen gave chase immediately, showing no hesitation.
He was not unprepared for this pursuit. Predicting Xuan Zhen’s flight path, he used a vast array of Space-Time Laws to seal off the escape route.
"Halt!" Yang Chen seized control of the space ahead while closing the distance with his Spacetime power.
Xuan Zhen felt the trap closing in and considered using the Asura Soul Body again, but the memory of Yang Chen’s Necromancy made him tremble with fear.
"You think killing me is that simple?!"
He spat out a mouthful of blood essence, causing dozens of light clones to manifest and scatter in every direction at lightning speed, vanishing from the spot.
Yang Chen was ready. Having been tricked before, he refused to let Xuan Zhen slip away again. The moment the technique was triggered, he expanded his Domain of Earth to its limit.
Simultaneously, he activated the Lingxi Divine Pupil to track his prey instantly.
"The true body cannot be identical to the clones!"
Through his divine vision, Yang Chen quickly spotted a discrepancy.
"Hmph, found you!" Yang Chen initiated another Time-Space pursuit.
Xuan Zhen was truly terrified now, fleeing at his maximum speed. Yet, as the distance stretched, he realized he could not outrun Yang Chen.
If this chase continued, his death was inevitable.
"Second Brother, Second Brother, save me!"
In a desperate panic, Xuan Zhen screamed for his hidden backup before even reaching the designated location. He knew his life depended on immediate intervention.
Shortly after the cry, Yang Chen felt a bone-chilling aura approaching from the distance.
"So there really was an ambush," Yang Chen noted, his voice low.
It was highly likely that Mo Wanchou had been wounded by this very trap. Yet, Mo Wanchou had remained silent about it, presumably hoping Yang Chen would suffer the same fate?
Yang Chen’s expression darkened as his respect for Mo Wanchou vanished completely.
He had assumed that even as an arrogant Young Master, a Sky Extreme Realm Reincarnation would possess some sense of solidarity against a common foe.
Clearly, he had given the man too much credit.
He did not turn to run; having pursued Xuan Zhen this far, he was determined to finish the job today.
Still, he had to acknowledge that the approaching aura was formidable. Though both were in the Realmless stage, this newcomer’s presence was significantly more powerful than Xuan Zhen’s.
"To think the Spirit God Royal Clan possessed such powerful experts..." Yang Chen muttered coldly.
"So, you are the one called Yang Chen?"
The aura rapidly blanketed the surroundings as a man from the Spirit God Race descended slowly. "Impressive. You seem even stronger than Mo Wanchou. To push my ninth junior brother to such an extreme, you clearly have talent."
Yang Chen stood calmly, hands behind his back. "It seems this person is your final card, Xuan Zhen. You’ve been trying to bait me from the start, hoping to team up with him to kill me."
"Yang Chen, if you knew that, you should have fled sooner. Last time, the two of us didn't even use our true power against Mo Wanchou. We spared him just to lure you here. Your arrogance is your downfall; you didn't even run when you saw my Second Brother. Now, prepare to die."
With Xuan Jie’s arrival, Xuan Zhen’s confidence surged. The fear he previously felt for Yang Chen had been replaced by bravado.
Yang Chen remained still, his hands behind his back as he watched the two experts surround him with their domains and auras. A thin smile slowly appeared on his face.
"Don't get in my way. Hmph, we aren't far from the Human Area. We must finish this quickly!" Xuan Jie declared, his presence radiating a freezing intent.
