The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms Chapter 3196 - 3191: Zhang Xuelian’s Entrusted Dream_1
Previously on The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms...
Forced into a corner, Calamity King had no choice but to split his focus. In a blur of motion, he narrowly evaded the strike of the Nine Heavens Wind and Thunder Sword.
However, the offensive from Expedition King arrived immediately after, compelling Calamity King to pivot back and defend himself. With his attention divided, his combat maneuvers were insufficient to handle the pressure, leaving him panicked and struggling to keep pace.
Yang Chen showed no intent to grant Calamity King any leniency. Just as Expedition King lunged forward, Yang Chen summoned a massive surge of Deathly Silent Black Wind, unleashing it in a chaotic barrage.
At that moment, Calamity King felt a wave of despair. He never imagined that despite being surrounded by supposed allies, he was effectively fighting all alone!
Feeling unable to withstand Yang Chen’s relentless assault, he roared out, "Come and help me quickly!"
Yet, there was no one to provide aid.
Seeing that the Deathly Silent Black Wind alone wasn't enough to crush Calamity King, Yang Chen directed the Nine Heavens Wind and Thunder Sword to lock onto his target.
Calamity King’s pupils contracted, but his instincts remained sharp. Faced with lethal danger, he managed to throw himself out of the way once more.
Now truly enraged, Calamity King bellowed, "The three of you, have one of you stop maintaining the Formation, and come help me."
He realized that his only hope lay with the three Sky-separation Realm cultivators who were currently anchoring the Formation.
No longer caring if Yang Chen might escape, he shouted his command desperately.
One of the Heaven-separated Realm experts maintaining the triangular Formation was forced to break away, rushing forward to rescue Calamity King from his predicament.
But Yang Chen had foreseen this exact move. With a swift press of his palm, he triggered Spatial Suppression, pinning Calamity King in place.
Back when he was at the Boundaryless Cultivation level, he lacked the power to restrain a Heaven-separated Realm expert. However, now that his cultivation had ascended to the Half-step Heavenly Leaving Realm, his increased strength allowed him to paralyze such a foe for a fleeting moment.
It was during this brief window of Time-Space Suppression that the Nine Heavens Wind and Thunder Sword struck true, piercing through him!
In his final moments, Calamity King could not fathom that he had been slain by Yang Chen while surrounded by so many fellow Sect members.
It was his absolute confidence in their numbers that had fueled his earlier arrogance and his claims that Yang Chen’s death was certain.
No one could have predicted that he would be the one to fall at Yang Chen’s hands.
Looking down at the corpse of Calamity King, Yang Chen remarked coldly, "If you had kept your mouth shut from the beginning, maybe you wouldn’t be the one dead now!"
Calamity King never realized that his demise was essentially triggered by his own initial taunting of Yang Chen.
With Calamity King dead and the triangular Formation collapsing due to the missing cultivator, Yang Chen grasped the opportunity. He activated the Space-time Law, preparing for an immediate departure.
Truthfully, this battle had seemed like a dead end, and he had mentally braced himself for the possibility of failure. He hadn't expected that Calamity King’s overwhelming fear of death would inadvertently provide him with a path to survival.
Had that opening not appeared, escaping the sealed Formation would have been nearly impossible.
Now that the barrier was broken, Yang Chen was determined not to let the chance slip away.
However, just as he attempted to vanish, three Sky-separation Realm cultivators suddenly manifested in the distance.
"I knew it would come to this, a bunch of useless trash. Yang Chen, where do you think you’re running!" These three Heaven-separated Realm experts had been lying in wait within the shadows. As Yang Chen’s first teleportation flash reached their sector, they unleashed a collective palm strike.
The attack targeted the exact spot where Yang Chen emerged. A colossal palm, massive as a mountain and echoing like Heavenly Thunder, came crashing down with a deafening roar.
Had Yang Chen been at full strength, he might have stood his ground, but the prolonged battle had drained his resources. Maintaining the Way of Ten Thousand Laws Embryo for so long had taken a heavy toll on his stamina.
Forced to use his law of protection to intercept the blow, Yang Chen was sent flying backward, spitting out a mouthful of blood.
"Not good!"
Yang Chen’s very soul trembled. He realized his situation was dire as his vision began to fade.
A strike from a Heaven-separated Realm expert was not something he could easily shrug off.
"Reform the Formation! Lock him in!" shouted one of the newcomers.
Despite his fading consciousness, Yang Chen knew that surrender meant certain death.
Gritting his teeth, he moved just before the Formation could be reset. He manipulated the forms of Expedition King and the other two puppets, forcing them to collide in a violent, self-destructive distraction.
Utilizing this chaos, he pushed the Way of Ten Thousand Laws Embryo to its limit to amplify his Space-Time Law!
With a sharp whistle, his presence vanished from the area just as the Formation closed, leaving no trace behind.
The Heaven-separated Realm experts left behind felt their skin crawl. They scanned the surroundings with their divine sense and searched every corner, but Yang Chen was gone.
Each of these powerful experts was left in a state of shock and frustration. They knew they had failed once more, allowing Yang Chen to slip through their fingers.
...
Escaping through the Space-Time Law, Yang Chen understood he couldn't remain within this Plane. He fled until he reached the vastness of the Universe Starry Sky.
Once safely in the void, he immediately deployed the Spirit Leaf Flying Boat. He manifested a spirit clone to pilot the vessel toward the Distant Earth Star.
He had to delegate the task; his mind was growing foggy, and he was on the verge of losing consciousness.
The impact from that Heaven-separated Realm expert had caused internal devastation. His protective laws had been failing, and his wounds were now critical.
With a heavy thud, Yang Chen collapsed onto the deck of the Spirit Leaf Flying Boat and blacked out.
While unconscious, Yang Chen entered a vivid, surreal dream.
In this vision, Zhang Xuelian was at his side, tenderly looking after him. She watched over him as his vitality slowly returned. Before she faded away, she spoke to him.
"The Grand Abyss Palace does not rule over every corner of the Ten Thousand Realms, but its influence is rooted in the Heavenly Dao of this Star Domain. You were tracked so easily because you were moving directly under the gaze of the Heavenly Dao. The Heavenly Dao provides your coordinates to the Grand Abyss Palace observers. No matter how you mask your aura or change your face, you cannot hide from it!"
"The most effective way to remain undetected is to shroud yourself in Law protection before entering an Interface. This can bypass the Heavenly Dao's scrutiny, though you will eventually be spotted if you stay too long..."
As her words faded, the image of Zhang Xuelian shattered like glass.
Yang Chen jolted awake.
Upon opening his eyes, he saw his spirit clone dissipate and merge back into his primary body.
Looking around, he confirmed he was still on the Spirit Leaf Flying Boat, drifting through an unknown sector of the Interface.
Yang Chen shook his head, inspecting his frame. His injuries were still severe and far from healed.
Yet, the dream felt remarkably tangible. The advice Zhang Xuelian had given was too specific to be a mere hallucination.
"Is it possible that Zhang Xuelian used a secret technique to reach me in my dreams?" Yang Chen wondered in amazement.
While such a feat would be impossible for most, he believed that as the Chosen One, Zhang Xuelian possessed the power to make it happen.
