The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms Chapter 3184 - 3179: Slaying Xuan Jie_1
Previously on The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms...
Nevertheless, even with only seven of them, it was more than sufficient given his current circumstances.
Seven formidable entities from various factions converged, using their collective might to directly encircle Xuan Jie.
Despite Xuan Jie’s own prowess, the sight of seven opponents attacking simultaneously terrified him, forcing him to frantically summon the Heaven Non-Action Asura back for his own protection.
"What kind of technique is this?" Xuan Jie cried out, his mind thrown into turmoil as he glared at the scene. He shrieked, commanding the Heaven Non-Action Asura to engage the seven attackers.
He acted shrewdly, intending to utilize the Heaven Non-Action Asura to eliminate these relatively fragile Boundaryless cultivators.
The Heaven Non-Action Asura was indeed terrifyingly powerful; it used its bare hands to rip through the divine bodies of the other cultivators, who were completely defenseless. One Boundaryless cultivator was slain instantly.
The corpse vanished on the spot, a testament to the creature's overwhelming power.
This success restored some of Xuan Jie’s bravado: "Humph, it is nothing impressive. The strength of these Sky-separation Realm cultivators is mediocre at best. Once I’ve slaughtered them one by one, I will see what other tricks you have left!"
Yang Chen could not dispute that the power of these Sky-separation Realm cultivators was unremarkable. Had they been stronger, they wouldn't have been defeated so easily.
However, his primary goal was never to defeat the Heaven Non-Action Asura or Xuan Jie using these seven people; they were merely a distraction to stall them.
At that precise moment, Yang Chen suddenly unleashed his divine soul, locking onto Xuan Jie and launching an instantaneous assault.
Since Xuan Jie was preoccupied with directing the Heaven Non-Action Asura against the resurrected beings Yang Chen had summoned via the Rejuvenation Technique, he was caught completely off guard by the soul attack.
In a heartbeat, his entire frame shuddered as he fell into a state of paralysis.
"This is bad, Yang Chen actually dares to strike me with Divine Soul Power." Initially startled, Xuan Jie quickly regained his composure and sneered, "You are seeking death, daring to challenge me in a contest of divine souls!"
As the words left his lips, he launched a fierce divine soul counteroffensive.
This retaliation resulted in a direct clash between their two Divine Soul Powers.
Upon engagement, Yang Chen truly felt the terrifying depth of Xuan Jie’s Divine Soul Realm.
Xuan Jie proved why he was a Boundaryless cultivator with millions of years of experience. Though they shared the same Boundaryless rank, Xuan Jie’s True Realm was likely on par with the Heaven-separated Realm, vastly surpassing Yang Chen’s. Consequently, his Divine Soul Realm was superior, and Yang Chen was clearly outmatched in terms of raw Divine Soul Power.
Yet, Yang Chen’s true aim was not to engage Xuan Jie in a fatal duel of divine souls.
"Go!" Yang Chen manipulated the Rejuvenation Technique. While his soul was locked in combat with Xuan Jie’s, several of the corpses launched a violent, concentrated bombardment against Xuan Jie.
Xuan Jie was now stretched too thin; attempting to fend off Yang Chen’s divine soul while simultaneously controlling the Heaven Non-Action Asura to deal with the corpses was an impossible task.
Left with no alternative, Xuan Jie was forced to disengage from Yang Chen’s soul. As the group attack closed in, he deployed his Devouring Rules technique at the last second to parry the blows of the powerful beings.
Seeing his opening, Yang Chen immediately pulled back his divine soul, ending the entanglement with Xuan Jie.
He was certain that Xuan Jie could no longer maintain his divine soul connection to the Heaven Non-Action Asura.
In a flash, he targeted the Heaven Non-Action Asura with Necromancy!
Xuan Jie had anticipated this move, trying to regain control of the Heaven Non-Action Asura even as he fended off the swarm of corpses.
But when he attempted to re-establish a link with the creature, he realized the connection was severed; it was now under the absolute control of Yang Chen’s Law of Life and Death.
"Xuan Jie, you once claimed that the Heaven Non-Action Asura could only be controlled if you were killed. It appears that was nothing but talk," Yang Chen remarked, a cold smirk playing on his lips.
"Yang Chen!" Xuan Jie’s eyes burned with a murderous rage. He was forced to acknowledge that Yang Chen’s supreme Law of Life and Death possessed a staggering efficacy.
However, he soon replied with a chilling tone: "Do you truly believe you can seize my Heaven Non-Action Asura?"
As he finished speaking, he struck himself with a violent blow.
Instantly, Xuan Jie’s complexion turned deathly pale, and the Heaven Non-Action Asura crumbled, dissolving into nothingness.
Observing this, Yang Chen narrowed his eyes, secretly impressed by Xuan Jie’s ruthless decisiveness.
Xuan Jie and the Heaven Non-Action Asura shared a spiritual bond. His claim that no one else could control it while he lived wasn't mere boasting.
Under normal circumstances, even a divine soul couldn't usurp control; Yang Chen had only managed it because of the unique properties of the Law of Life and Death.
Nevertheless, the creature remained anchored to Xuan Jie’s spirit.
By inflicting injury upon himself, Xuan Jie was able to destroy the Heaven Non-Action Asura with his own hands.
Such a move was self-destructive, but it was the logical choice for Xuan Jie at that moment. He knew that if Yang Chen turned the Heaven Non-Action Asura against him, his fate would be far more gruesome!
"Xuan Jie, you are indeed decisive. But unfortunately, now that the Heaven Non-Action Asura is gone, do you honestly think you can still best me?" Yang Chen said in a measured voice.
Xuan Jie trembled, a flicker of genuine fear appearing in his gaze.
He looked at Yang Chen and then at the circle of corpses closing in. Gnashing his teeth, he realized that continuing the fight today would be suicide. He immediately invoked his Devouring Rules, intending to swallow himself into the void to flee.
Yang Chen didn't understand the mechanics of how the Devouring Rules facilitated an escape, but having been thwarted once before, he was determined not to let Xuan Jie slip away again.
"Xuan Jie, do you really believe escape is still an option?" Yang Chen was already one step ahead.
"Five Elements Turn Heaven Palm!"
Another massive palm of the Five Elements descended, moving with incredible speed to seize Xuan Jie’s Devouring Vortex.
The vortex was pinned down by the Five Elements Turn Heaven Palm, rendered completely immobile. Its devouring essence was suppressed, making it useless.
Just as Xuan Jie was about to vanish into the Devouring Rules, he was violently ejected. Staring at Yang Chen, his pupils constricted in shock: "Yang Chen!"
"Your Devouring Rules are centered on the power of consumption. Now that I have neutralized them with my Five Elements Laws, where exactly do you plan on going?" Yang Chen asked coldly.
Xuan Jie had made the conscious choice to flee early, believing his decisiveness would save him, as staying any longer would only make escape harder.
But now he saw that even that was too late.
With his Devouring Rules neutralized, he was out of options to counter Yang Chen.
"Go!" Yang Chen commanded the corpses, directing them to surround Xuan Jie and cut off his path.
Xuan Jie made a desperate attempt to run, but in an instant, he was hemmed in by the resurrected bodies.
Yang Chen’s face was now devoid of color; he had pushed his techniques to their breaking point. Utilizing so many high-level abilities had taken an extreme toll on his reserves.
Even so, he was resolved to end Xuan Jie’s life this very day.
