The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms Chapter 3244 - 3239: Wan Huaruo_1

Previously on The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms...

Yang Chen, suspecting Crown Prince Modao's involvement in hidden schemes, risked using his spacetime techniques to infiltrate the prince's heavily restricted residence undetected. Sending his soul inside, he witnessed Modao's intimate encounter with a snake servant girl named Xiang’er, who had previously served at Broken River and been released by Yang Chen's mercy. After extracting information from her about potential suspicions, Modao coldly betrayed and obliterated Xiang’er, revealing his ruthless paranoia and confirming Yang Chen's doubts. Three days later, Yang Chen rejoined the Broken River group as they departed with Modao and the gathered Heaven-separated Realm experts, led by the Wind Emperor, toward the imposing Heavenly Crystal Snake Spirit Tower.

The imposing purple tower rises high, built with exquisite craftsmanship. Its every tile and brick appears intricately sculpted.

At first, the proud Broken River, King Ming Cheng, and their companions dismissed the arrival of these minor snake people groups entirely.

However, once they reached this spot, their outlook shifted dramatically.

Up close, a sense of ancient and enigmatic qi radiated from the Heavenly Crystal Snake Spirit Tower, which they all detected.

This qi felt profoundly mysterious, drawing each of them in, as though some invaluable treasure lay hidden within the Heavenly Crystal Snake Spirit Tower.

"This Heavenly Crystal Snake Spirit Tower is intriguing," Dao Guangwang and Madame Autumn Plum remarked steadily after inspecting it.

"We've made it." Wind Emperor grinned warmly at that moment and descended first. The rest of the mighty experts followed suit, touching down before the Heavenly Crystal Snake Spirit Tower.

With everyone settled on the ground, the ancient pool ahead of the Heavenly Crystal Snake Spirit Tower suddenly started to bubble and surge, hinting at some strange occurrence.

The group had spotted the pool earlier, yet the allure of the Heavenly Crystal Snake Spirit Tower had stolen their focus, leaving the pool's details overlooked.

Now, as odd movements stirred in the pool, all eyes turned toward it, curiosity mounting over what might be unfolding.

From the pool's depths, a slender arm like polished jade emerged, belonging to a young woman. Splashes of water trailed behind as a figure with flawless curves, clad in a vivid red gown, revealed herself to the onlookers.

This woman seemed around twenty-five or twenty-six, boasting an ideal form. Her ample bosom rose proudly, and she stepped out barefoot from the water, leaving everyone stunned by her breathtaking allure.

Though the assembly had encountered numerous beauties in their time, a woman of her caliber was an extraordinary rarity.

Beyond her stunning looks, what captivated was the regal poise in her every gesture and glance, laced with a subtle seduction that stirred forbidden desires.

Nearly every man there felt a brief surge of impure thoughts upon seeing her, including Yang Chen.

Within the group, Mo Dao's response stood out the most.

Mo Dao gazed at the woman with evident yearning, his fists tightly balled and a flicker of madness in his eyes, though he swiftly masked it.

The crowd drew in sharp breaths at this startling sight, the biggest shock being that the woman possessed two human legs.

As questions swirled, the red-gowned beauty approached with a graceful sway of her hips and offered a soft, enchanting smile: "Brother Wind Emperor."

Wind Emperor snapped from his daze and then presented her kindly: "I neglected to mention, this is the guardian of our Heavenly Crystal Snake Spirit Tower, Wan Huaruo."

Wan Huaruo smiled and greeted: "Huaruo has met all the Daoist friends here."

"The guardian of the Heavenly Crystal Snake Spirit Tower?" Several Sky Separation Realm powerhouses murmured instinctively, their gazes fixed unwaveringly on Wan Huaruo's form.

Wan Huaruo's cultivation stood at the advanced stage of the Sky Separation Realm, honed over many years. Her calm demeanor remained unshaken by the stares.

"From the moment the Heavenly Crystal Snake Spirit Tower was established, a guardian was needed to ward off troubles. I serve as the inaugural one, watching over it ever since," Wan Huaruo explained softly.

Yang Chen eyed Wan Huaruo, his gaze narrowing.

This Wan Huaruo struck him as far from ordinary, a rare judgment from him. The core of it was the exceptional aura she projected.

Even across the Ten Thousand Realms, it proved hard to predict if hidden powerhouses might emerge from even the smallest factions.

Figures like Xuan Jie, who had cultivated in seclusion for millions of years, remained few and far between.

"Lady Wan must be a snake person too, so why does she lack a snake lower body?" King Ming Cheng inquired.

Wan Huaruo let out a light laugh: "Truthfully, snake people are humans at heart, merely differing in bloodlines. Huaruo has simply awakened her human lineage. Yet, such awakenings are exceedingly rare in our clan; over endless ages, only five have managed it."

"I see..." King Ming Cheng clasped his hands behind his back. Claims of shared human blood from other snake people would irk him greatly, but Wan Huaruo's words carried a different weight.

He beamed and offered, "Lady Wan, would you consider joining our Grand Abyss Palace? I, King Ming Cheng, would be glad to serve as your guide."

King Ming Cheng extended his invitation right away, and acting as a guide was no small privilege. After all, countless Sky Separation Realm cultivators dreamed of entering the Grand Abyss Palace, but success eluded most.

All present recognized King Ming Cheng's overture to Wan Huaruo, and they inwardly lamented their missed opportunities, figuring she couldn't possibly turn it down.

Yet Wan Huaruo only flashed a radiant smile and replied, "Your Excellency, I'm grateful for the offer, but I've watched over this pool for eons and come to see it as my true home. I have no desire to leave."

At her words, King Ming Cheng felt a surge of irritation.

Rejections of his advances were few and far between.

Still, directing anger at Wan Huaruo proved impossible. He managed a strained smile and said, "Very well, Lady Wan, take your time to consider it, and inform me if your thoughts change."

Broken River scoffed: "Friend Ming Cheng, Lady Wan has made her stance clear already. How persistent. Lady Wan, we seek entry into the Heavenly Crystal Snake Spirit Tower. As its guardian, could you share what makes this tower unique? Our goal is to ascend to the summit and claim the Ancient Dragon Pattern Flag."

King Ming Cheng bristled at Broken River's sharp rebuke, feeling both shamed and irked. But upon catching the intent behind Broken River's statement, his attention refocused, and he fixed his eyes on Wan Huaruo, eager for her response.

Wan Huaruo smiled serenely, "If you all desire to enter the Heavenly Crystal Snake Spirit Tower, Huaruo won't stand in your way. Our Ancestral Founder left this tower without barring humans from it. He even declared humans and snake people as kin. That said, while I can assure the safety of the inheritance our Ancestral Founder placed within the Heavenly Crystal Snake Spirit Tower, I make no promises regarding the Ancient Dragon Pattern Flag's legitimacy. Over the endless years of my vigil here, I've personally dealt with all who schemed against it."

Her words drew gasps from the crowd, who noted the sudden chill in Wan Huaruo's expression and realized this woman was not one to underestimate.

"Moreover, the Heavenly Crystal Snake Spirit Tower poses no simple challenge to conquer. Across our clan's vast history, none have ever scaled its peak. The farthest any reached was merely the ninth floor!" Wan Huaruo declared.
