The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms Chapter 3266 - 3261: Ripening the Jiuyou Emperor Grass_1
Previously on The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms...
Anger instantly clouded Fairy Moon Fu's expression upon catching Yang Chen's words. Though she realized he was intentionally trying to stir her up, those remarks still left her feeling deeply unsettled.
"Hmph, let's see if your techniques can truly catch me." With that, Fairy Moon Fu rushed straight at Yang Chen.
In a flash, chaos erupted across the entire area.
All present understood that the showdown was truly kicking off now.
The thrilling instant had come to reveal which of them—Fairy Moon Fu or Yang Chen—held the upper hand in power!
Right then, Yang Chen swiftly turned his palm over and slammed it down toward Fairy Moon Fu.
As Yang Chen's palm closed in, Fairy Moon Fu's lips curved up just a bit. She recognized its formidable force from a prior glimpse. Thus, she had prepared a counter, aiming to evade rather than clash directly.
Yet, just as she moved to dodge, Yang Chen lifted his hand abruptly and unleashed a spacetime seal. Bolstered by the Domain of Earth, it locked Fairy Moon Fu's movement firmly in place.
A shiver ran through Fairy Moon Fu, leaving her utterly clueless about the sudden turn. It was as though the world had cut her off completely in that moment!
The very next instant, the Five Elements Turn Heaven Palm crashed down without warning, pinning Fairy Moon Fu so she was utterly immobile.
Snapping back to reality, Fairy Moon Fu felt as if it were all some bizarre illusion, refusing to accept her defeat at Yang Chen's hands in such a manner?
Was this the full extent of his might? His ultimate force?
Suddenly, Fairy Moon Fu realized just how formidable Huan Ye Ming Wang truly was, having endured against Yang Chen for such an extended period!
"I... admit defeat." Stubborn as Fairy Moon Fu might be, she clearly grasped her loss.
A soft sigh escaped her lips, her heart filled with a sense of defeat. Her aim mirrored Broken River's—to gauge the divide between herself and Yang Chen.
She had believed the chasm separating her from Yang Chen was merely five steps wide, yet it turned out to be far beyond simple words.
It loomed vast and utterly overwhelming!
With the disparity laid bare, pressing the battle further held no meaning.
For a moment, as Fairy Moon Fu conceded, nearly every influential figure present doubted their ears. It felt like a dream, the outcome too astonishing to believe.
Just like that...
Was it truly finished?
Fairy Moon Fu, revered by all and even seen as a match for Yang Chen, had fallen to him without enduring a single strike?
Broken River and Madame Autumn Plum drew in sharp breaths, fully aware that Fairy Moon Fu stood no chance against Yang Chen. Still, they never imagined his victory would come so effortlessly and rapidly.
Half an hour or the span of a tea's brewing—all that now rang hollow as mere exaggeration.
Merely a handful of breaths had ticked by, and the clash concluded.
Meanwhile, Absolute Yi Daozu observed the confrontation closely.
As the result unfolded, Absolute Yi Daozu shook his head in quiet resignation: "This Yang Chen truly hides depths of power beyond measure. No surprise he could slay even King-level Spirit Gods."
…
Seeing Fairy Moon Fu yield, Yang Chen offered a slight bow: "Fairy Moon Fu, my thanks." "I actually wanted to let you win," Fairy Moon Fu murmured with a pout, her eyes on Yang Chen now carrying a wholly altered light.
If her stare had once burned like a defiant predator's, it now softened to that of a gentle fledgling.
She appeared disarmingly meek and endearing, fully aware of her inability to prevail yet ready to drop any further resistance.
Yang Chen gave a faint smile and replied, "If there's no more to discuss, I'll head out. I've lingered far from the sect too long—time to return to the Divine Night Sect."
At those words, a flicker of reluctance crossed Fairy Moon Fu's face. "Ah? You're going already?"
Though bested by Yang Chen, her admiration for him had surged dramatically. She yearned for him to remain in the sect a while longer, not anticipating such a swift departure.
Yang Chen responded, "Fate will bring us together again if it's meant to be."
With their exchange wrapped up, Yang Chen bounded forward to reach his disciple, Willow Stain.
"Alright, Willow Stain, we should depart," Yang Chen announced.
Along the journey, Yang Chen had already shared that he hailed from the Divine Night Sect. Willow Stain held no qualms about it, whether Yang Chen belonged to the Divine Night Sect or Heavenly Melody Mountain, since both stood among the three dominant forces of the Taiyuan Star System.
What stunned him far more was Yang Chen's prowess. Describing Yang Chen's display required nothing less than the word—staggering.
Overcoming a peer in a single stroke: even without deep knowledge, he grasped the implications.
He also came to see that he had likely claimed an extraordinary master.
…
Thus, Yang Chen guided Willow Stain steadily back to the Divine Night Sect, the trip passing without much delay.
Yang Chen preferred to stay understated, so his arrival at the Divine Night Sect stirred little stir. That said, numerous heavyweights took note of his return and treated it with grave importance.
In scarcely a single day, word of Yang Chen's homecoming raced through the Divine Night Sect, drawing special focus from the Heavenly Fate Realm powerhouses fresh from their missions. They zeroed in even harder on any updates about him.
They knew full well that Yang Chen controlled the Seven-colored Colored Glaze Mine they'd coveted for ages.
Each of these Heavenly Fate Realm masters harbored schemes, plotting approaches to claim the Seven-colored Colored Glaze Mine.
Once back in the sect, Yang Chen promptly arranged for Willow Stain's placement. With Ji Yue Shuang's aid, the process flowed smoothly. After all, as his disciple, granting Willow Stain official Divine Night Sect status posed no issue.
Having resolved Willow Stain's matters, Yang Chen instructed him privately in certain spear arts to aid his personal insights.
As for himself, he dove straight into secluded cultivation.
His venture into the Nine Dragons World had yielded several peerless treasures. The enigmatic colossal egg remained a puzzle he couldn't yet unravel, and then there was the Jiuyou Emperor Grass.
"Just sensing the qi from this Jiuyou Emperor Grass reveals its immense value. Consuming it solo would boost my cultivation tremendously. Regrettably, the Jiuyou Emperor Grass hasn't ripened fully, so I need a method to accelerate its growth," Yang Chen pondered inwardly.
This called for his innate technique to speed up the ripening of Spiritual Flowers and奇草.
He had long mastered such arts, starting with the Nature Spirit Technique in his early days, which he later refined into the Jade Spirit Art.
That said, after his Wood Dao Intent advanced to encompass the Five Elements, Yang Chen rarely drew on the Jade Spirit Art.
Since broad principles subsume narrower ones, the Jade Spirit Art essentially followed minor paths beneath the grander framework.
Mastering the Wood Law proficiently allowed hastening Spiritual Flowers and奇草 for anyone. Yet, the pace and extent of acceleration still fell short compared to Yang Chen's superior Five Elements Laws.
