The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms Chapter 3171 - 3166: Mo Wanchou’s Thoughts_1
Previously on The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms...
Meanwhile, deep within the heart of Ten Nights City!
Mo Wanchou had taken residence in a secluded area to recover. Although he had already reached full health, he publicly maintained the facade that his wounds were still healing.
Currently, Mo Wanchou stood atop a high terrace, whispering incantations under his breath. Suddenly, a vibrant and lifelike image manifested in the air before him.
The vision displayed none other than the events unfolding at Yang Chen’s current location.
Mo Wanchou watched with boiling blood as Yang Chen stood perfectly fine, surrounded by a crowd that hailed him as a champion. The fury in his chest intensified until it felt as though he might combust.
"Dammit!"
Unable to suppress his rage any longer, Mo Wanchou let out a guttural scream that sounded more like a beast’s howl.
His Sun and Moon Law granted him dominion over the celestial energies of the heavens. While this power did not provide the most devastating direct offensive capabilities, it allowed him to peer into any corner of the Star Domain Interface as long as the sun or moon remained in the sky.
Of course, his mastery was currently limited.
This was due to the fact that his Sun and Moon Law Cultivation was not yet fully realized, and his control over the celestial bodies of this specific interface remained unpolished.
Furthermore, Xuan Jie had previously been well-hidden, evading his sight. However, the situation had shifted.
Ever since Yang Chen began his chase after Xuan Zhen, Mo Wanchou had been employing his Sun and Moon Law to observe the battle, watching as Yang Chen was trapped by both Xuan Jie and Xuan Zhen.
On that fateful day, Mo Wanchou had managed to flee only by relying on his most potent Dao intent, coupled with the fact that the two enemies didn't seem intent on finishing him off. That was the only reason he survived to return home.
Initially, he considered reporting the incident upon his return, but he changed his mind after further thought. What did he have to gain by revealing he had been humiliated in an ambush by Xuan Jie?
It was better to stay silent. He calculated that Yang Chen would eventually fall into the same trap set by Xuan Jie and Xuan Zhen. If Yang Chen were slaughtered by them, wouldn't that be a perfect outcome?
Such a result would protect both his personal interests and his reputation.
In truth, he had fully anticipated Yang Chen’s demise. Knowing the terrifying power of Xuan Jie and Xuan Zhen, he suspected that Yang Chen was their primary target all along.
Events had unfolded exactly as he predicted, yet the conclusion was entirely different. Yang Chen had not only survived but thrived, even managing to slay Xuan Zhen.
"Yang Chen!" Mo Wanchou hissed, his fists clenching so tightly that his nails drew blood, betraying his profound malice.
By killing Xuan Zhen, Yang Chen had effectively demolished Mo Wanchou’s standing.
First, it proved he had known of the ambush and said nothing. Second, it highlighted that while Mo Wanchou failed to kill Xuan Zhen, Yang Chen had succeeded...
His rage was unprecedented. Since crossing paths with Yang Chen, he had suffered two consecutive, stinging defeats.
"Yang Chen’s prowess is truly frightening. He must be eliminated. If he is allowed to live, he will become my ruin!" Mo Wanchou rubbed his temples, his eyes narrowing as he whispered to the empty air, "With my current power, I doubt I can kill him. I must find another way. Elder Han, will you assist me?"
...
As time slipped away, Yang Chen’s prestige reached new heights following his triumph. This time, the acclaim was even more fervent than before. Almost instantly, his name echoed across the entirety of Bi Shuangxing.
Even the foreign races received word that a mere human had slain Xuan Zhen, a formidable Boundless Stage expert.
To the human race, Yang Chen was now seen as a god-like figure. Though few had actually witnessed the killing blow, the rumors were treated as absolute truth. Tales of Yang Chen executing Xuan Zhen in three strikes or obliterating his form with a single fist spread like wildfire through every major human Sect and power on the planet.
This caused Yang Chen’s status to soar, and for months, his exploits were the sole topic of conversation among the people.
Despite the fame, Yang Chen had immediately returned to a state of secluded Cultivation.
This period of meditation lasted for half a year.
During these six months of quiet, the Spirit God Race became noticeably more cautious due to Xuan Zhen’s death. Even the other alien races ceased their aggressive raids on human mining territories.
Then, the peace was broken.
Boom...
A deafening roar rolled across the firmament as the sky erupted in noise. A pillar of light descended from the heavens like a massive thunderbolt, slamming into the earth.
Immediately after, a sound resembling the opening of a colossal stone gate reverberated through every corner of Bi Shuangxing, echoing in the ears of every inhabitant.
This phenomenon caught the attention of many powerful masters, filling them with shock.
Members of various clans began to whisper in confusion.
"What is happening?"
"What was 그 noise..."
"Has something major occurred?"
Only a few ancient experts on Bi Shuangxing sensed the true nature of the event. After a brief pause, they murmured, "Can it be? Is the Seven-colored Colored Glaze Mine finally appearing?"
...
Though the world outside was in an uproar, the commotion did not break Yang Chen’s deep focus.
A few days after the celestial disturbance, Yang Chen slowly opened his eyes, assessing the progress of his training.
"As I suspected, refining Xuan Zhen’s remains yielded incredible rewards. My Cultivation has surged to the Half-step Heavenly Leaving Realm. A Royal Spirit God is truly a rare treasure, ha ha ha ha!" Yang Chen’s laughter filled the room.
He hadn't dared to hope his level would reach the Half-step Heavenly Leaving Realm so quickly. The essence of a royal member of the Spirit God race was truly extraordinary.
It hadn't just boosted his base level.
His various Dao intents had also flourished; two had reached the Peak of No-Boundary, while his remaining intents had all ascended to the Late Boundless Stage.
With ten different Dao intents, his weakest was now at the Late Stage of Realmless. His fighting capacity was far more devastating than it had been previously.
Naturally, this rapid advancement wasn't solely due to Xuan Zhen.
While the body of a Royal Spirit God was a precious resource, it didn't perfectly align with all of Yang Chen’s Dao intents.
His progress was also heavily fueled by the rare ores he had secured from Ten Nights City.
Yang Chen could now feel the immense power contained within those stones.
Though they appeared to be simple rocks, they were packed with diverse essences. They even possessed the rare property of helping Boundless Stage Cultivators refine their legal realms.
Benefiting from these resources, Yang Chen’s growth had been explosive after refining several stones in a row.
"Now that I’ve attained the Half-step Heavenly Leaving Realm, I won't feel nearly as much pressure if I face Xuan Jie again." A confident smirk played on Yang Chen’s lips.
Furthermore, thanks to the properties of those versatile ores, he had finally been able to master a specific secret art he had long desired.
