The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms Chapter 3253 - 3248: Body Swap_1

Even after concealment, detecting it proves nearly impossible for cultivators at the Heaven-appointed Realm.

Yang Chen drew in a profound breath: "Does this treasure truly possess such immense power?"

Wan Huaruo curved her lips into a smile: "Should Brother Yang Chen harbor doubts, simply observe with attention."

With those words, Wan Huaruo pointed the mirror straight at her own form and softly illuminated it upon herself. In the instant that followed, her entire presence vanished entirely before Yang Chen's eyes.

Her silhouette was nowhere to be seen, and not even the slightest trace of her Qi could be perceived.

This utterly strange occurrence left Yang Chen, battle-hardened and worldly as he was, utterly stunned.

At once, he unleashed his divine sense to probe the surroundings, yet failed to locate any sign of Wan Huaruo. Merely by concentrating on the spot of her vanishing could he barely pick up on an extremely faint ripple.

Yet, those ripples offered no solid evidence whatsoever.

One had to realize that Wan Huaruo had vanished directly in his view while remaining stationary, permitting his thorough search. It was solely under these conditions that he managed to sense it at all.

Should Wan Huaruo activate the hiding function from a different location, or shift position once hidden, discovering her would border on impossibility.

"Lady Wan, you may reveal yourself now; I've witnessed sufficient," Yang Chen remarked, filled with awe.

Wan Huaruo released a laughter as clear as tinkling bells, then flicked her sleeves to dispel the veil of invisibility.

"This mirror's sole flaw lies in the fact that, while invisible, attacking foes becomes impossible. Forcing an assault would drastically weaken its might. Brother Yang Chen will grasp the reason upon employing it. So, what are Brother Yang Chen's thoughts on this exchange?" Wan Huaruo inquired softly.

Initially, Yang Chen merely sought to uncover the secrets within the giant egg that drew such fervent interest from both Wan Huaruo and Huan Ye Ming Wang.

Yet at this moment, genuine desire stirred within him. The Wheel of Destiny Mirror promised substantial aid to his longstanding scheme.

Possessing the mirror would elevate his odds of triumph by twofold.

Still, Yang Chen wavered in decision.

Moments later, beneath Wan Huaruo's gaze brimming with anticipation, he declared, "Regrettably, I must disappoint Lady Wan; the Wheel of Destiny Mirror is undoubtedly a priceless item, yet alas, I cannot proceed with the trade!"

"Why ever not!" Wan Huaruo's eyes flared open a fraction wider.

Yang Chen lightly shook his head, offering no further words.

Wan Huaruo pressed her crimson lips together, clearly reluctant to relinquish the giant egg, and urged with evident worry, "Brother Yang Chen, should this not suffice your needs, Huaruo is prepared to include more."

"Include more? Does Lady Wan possess yet another treasure?" Yang Chen inquired, his expression one of confusion.

"No other treasure do I hold, but I offer my very body in trade to Brother Yang Chen," Wan Huaruo stated with grave seriousness.

Yang Chen appeared utterly perplexed: "What precisely do you intend, Lady Wan?"

"Through endless years of cultivation, I remain untouched as a virgin. I shall present my body alongside the Wheel of Destiny Mirror to secure the giant egg," Wan Huaruo explained.

From times immemorial, such temptations have swayed the hearts of men.

Yang Chen lapsed into brief silence, caught off guard by Wan Huaruo's bold suggestion.

Wan Huaruo, fearing outright rejection, parted her delicate red lips and exhaled a sweet-scented breath as she continued, "Young Master Yang Chen, at our lofty cultivation stages, few attachments bind us. While I cannot vouch for all, my form holds unparalleled purity, and a night of intimacy with me would yield gains rivaling dual cultivation with a Heaven-appointed Realm female cultivator—scarce as they are. Surely Brother Yang Chen understands this well."

In truth, for those at the Heaven-separated Realm, relations between the sexes often intertwined with calculated gains. Such experts had long transcended petty emotions like romance or ties.

That Wan Huaruo preserved her virginity across countless years of practice spoke volumes of her resolute will and aversion to hasty choices.

For an instant, Yang Chen nursed a throbbing headache. The allure was monumental, capable of ensnaring any male.

Even with the enigmatic giant egg in his grasp, his pulse raced with fervor, urging him to cast aside all deliberations on the egg's merits and accept Wan Huaruo's terms without delay.

Gazing into Wan Huaruo's pleading eyes, refusal grew ever harder.

Yang Chen reined in the surging desire within, contemplated deeply once more, and balanced the advantages against the risks.

"Lady Wan, had those Ghost Kings not coveted this giant egg today, I might well have yielded it to you. But under these circumstances, I fear I cannot accept your offer," Yang Chen replied with a faint smile.

At these words, Wan Huaruo's expression chilled abruptly, and a flicker of murderous intent gleamed in her stare toward Yang Chen.

Yang Chen showed no astonishment at the rising killing intent from Wan Huaruo. Having staked her body on acquiring the treasure, and now facing continued denial, it would have been odd had she entertained no dark urges to slay him.

"Lady Wan, best to compose yourself first. Before striking, consider if you can truly rival me. You've witnessed my prowess within the Heavenly Crystal Snake Spirit Tower," Yang Chen cautioned.

Wan Huaruo quivered faintly, her complexion draining to pallor and weariness in a heartbeat. After careful assessment, she recognized her inferiority to Yang Chen.

She exhaled a gentle sigh and mustered a wry smile, "My earlier rashness was unbecoming; I beseech Young Master Yang Chen's pardon."

Observing Wan Huaruo in this distressed state, Yang Chen shook his head. His wariness toward her stemmed not solely from her lethal intentions, but also from lingering suspicions.

The true barrier to trading the giant egg lay in those very doubts about her.

Not concerning her ties to Huan Ye Ming Wang.

With Huan Ye Ming Wang's burning desire for the item and his mobilization of vast forces, such actions surely bore the sanction of the Netherworld's higher powers.

This giant egg carried profound significance, and until its full nature was revealed, Yang Chen refused to allow it into another's hands.

As disappointment washed over Wan Huaruo, her misty eyes fixed on Yang Chen; after tears welled and fell, she steadied her emotions, brushed them away, and ventured, "Young Master Yang Chen's refusal is perhaps for the best, yet I implore you to grant me one request."

"Speak freely, Lady Wan," Yang Chen invited.

"I beg Young Master Yang Chen to cherish the giant egg and ensure it never falls to unworthy hands," Wan Huaruo pleaded.

Yang Chen puzzled over Wan Huaruo's plea and probed, "Lady Wan, might you disclose the giant egg's origins?"

Wan Huaruo paused momentarily before replying, "I cannot reveal it!"

Yang Chen had anticipated this response: "Very well, then I vow to Lady Wan that I shall not readily surrender this egg to others, and henceforth, I will safeguard it properly. In return, I ask Lady Wan for a small favor!"

Wan Huaruo parted her lips in bewilderment, "What intent lies behind Brother Yang Chen's words...?"

"I seek to borrow Lady Wan's Wheel of Destiny Mirror for a single occasion. Naturally, I shall compensate Lady Wan fairly. Though my resources are limited, I possess several Elixirs. Thus, I request only one use of the mirror!" Yang Chen proposed.
