The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms Chapter 3290 - 3285: Zhou Yiming of Phoenix Cloud Sect_1

Even ending one's own life proves futile.

Yang Chen's gaze shifts, catching sight of the elder's soul floating away on its own after his demise. It's heading straight for the enigmatic Unwarranted Black Hole, which appears to exert an endless pull of gravity.

Though he's unaware of the bizarre force within the Unwarranted Black Hole, it's relentlessly tugging at the elder's soul, drawing it inside to make it one with the Netherworld.

A chilling thought strikes Yang Chen: "Once the soul gets drawn into the black hole by the Unwarranted Black Hole, it could end up as part of the Netherworld. Even suicide seems unable to dodge this destiny."

While he might not alter the elder's passing, could he perhaps alter what happens to the elder beyond death?

The Unwarranted Black Hole aims to haul the old man off? Not without his say-so first.

Yang Chen commands the Law of Life and Death, and scarcely anyone else in existence understands reincarnation as deeply as he.

For instance, the strength wielded by Yan Dong stems from the Yan Luo's power during his lifetime.

Letting out a low hum, Yang Chen extends his arm, effortlessly seizing the elder's soul and ushering it toward reincarnation, where it dissolves into wisps of mist.

Heading into reincarnation post-death could well be the finest outcome for the elder.

Having resolved these issues, Yang Chen turns his attention to the subsequent scheme.

From the elder's soul, he extracts a wealth of valuable details.

The dominant power in the Spirit Fire World goes by the name of the Spirit Fire Clan's Phoenix Cloud Sect.

Yet, with the outbreak of war and the Netherworld's takeover of the Spirit Fire World, the Phoenix Cloud Sect fell under Netherworld control too. Once top powerhouses such as Wan Tianyu fled, nearly everyone left behind in the sect turned into Netherworld thralls, shackled by the Servitude Restriction.

As a remarkably formidable sect, the Netherworld views the Phoenix Cloud Sect merely as an instrument, deploying portions of it to construct the Calamity City.

Meanwhile, another segment serves to bolster the Gates of Life and Death.

Yang Chen ponders briefly.

He arrived with certain strategies in place, and it now appears essential to recruit potent specialists from the Phoenix Cloud Sect to bring those strategies to fruition.

His focus falls on Zhou Yiming, the sect leader's offspring.

Following the sect leader's downfall and the elders' flight, Zhou Yiming stands as the sect's prime emblematic presence. Locating him promises substantial aid in advancing his objectives.

Determined on this course, Yang Chen embarks on the hunt for Zhou Yiming's position.

Three months elapse from the onset of his pursuit.

In that span of three months, Yang Chen delves into the recollections of four individuals.

As he probes their souls, he uncovers several key hints and grows increasingly acquainted with the Spirit Fire World.

Nevertheless, once liberated from the Servitude Restriction, two among the four choose suicide, and the remaining pair descend into madness, compelling Yang Chen to end their suffering quickly.

Witnessing this grim scene, a wave of sorrow engulfs Yang Chen's heart.

Through examining the four individuals' memories, Yang Chen discovers where Zhou Yiming resides.

Zhou Yiming labors on the Calamity City's construction right by its site. Furthermore, that very site coincides with the Phoenix Cloud Sect's former spot in the Spirit Fire World.

Leveraging his command of the Spacetime Law, Yang Chen arrives back at Calamity City in mere instants.

Calamity City looms as an enormous metropolis enveloped in mortality and sinister Ghost Qi.

Within its bounds, innumerable phantoms and haunting wails of specters echo everywhere, dominating the whole expanse.

Additionally, stout sentinels and diverse ghostly beings patrol the edges of Calamity City, rendering covert entry all but impossible without detection.

Yet Yang Chen's techniques surpass the ordinary. Gaining access is fairly straightforward if he desires it.

Still, the city teems with phantoms and specters. Even though the majority are lowly essences, a single misstep could readily reveal one's presence.

Yang Chen ponders, "Why are these phantoms and specters laboring to erect Calamity City?"

Brushing aside these phantoms and specters, and navigating via spacetime, Yang Chen's divine soul envelops all of Calamity City.

Across every nook of Calamity City, mortal powerhouses emerge, employing Dao Intent Inscriptions or even mightier Boundless Stage Experts harnessing Laws to shape the metropolis.

During the shaping process, ghostly beings stand guard over these powerhouses, offering no chance for exploitation.

Should displeasure arise, scenes of a phantom devouring a human occasionally unfold. Such sights have grown commonplace for the remaining ghostly beings and humans alike.

Flames of fury ignite within him, prompting Yang Chen to shake his head as he commences the quest for Zhou Yiming.

Locating Zhou Yiming proves no challenge given his prowess. Before long, Yang Chen spots a Heaven-separated Realm human powerhouse, similarly ensnared and compelled to wield his Law in crafting the enormous Calamity City's barrier, encircled by dark Ghost Qi.

Two Heaven-separated Realm Ghost King powerhouses flank him, scrutinizing every move.

The vigilant gaze from these two Ghost Kings complicates any quiet removal of Zhou Yiming akin to the previous cases.

Yang Chen murmurs inwardly, "With two Heaven-separated Realm Ghost Kings on guard, pulling Zhou Yiming out like the rest won't be straightforward. I'll bide my time."

This period of waiting stretches across multiple months. Zhou Yiming continues his grueling work on the city, as the two Ghost Kings maintain their intense surveillance from behind, betraying no weariness.

Yang Chen's brow creases, uncertain about the duration of this vigil or if further chances might arise.

In that instant, the apparently spiritless Zhou Yiming announces: "Sirs, my Law power is insufficient and I need to recover!"

"Hmph, worthless. Humans are nothing but worthless. Just a single year in, and your Law power falters already. Go restore it," sneers the adjacent Ghost King.

The two Ghost Kings escort Zhou Yiming into a grand hall.

Within this hall rise statues honoring the Spirit Fire Clan's mighty figures. Stepping inside unleashes a torrent of Rule auras.

Upon handing over Zhou Yiming, the two Ghost Kings exchange a look, "Let's depart. Our Ghost Qi could seep in here and disrupt the essence recovery, delaying the recharge. Besides, numerous Arrays and Restriction Techniques secure the area, and the boy bears the Servitude Restriction inside; escape is impossible. We'll stand watch close by for now."

Once their words conclude, the two Ghost Kings withdraw to another spot, vacating the immediate area.

Though the separation isn't great, and their divine souls still encompass the zone, any alteration would promptly notify them. It's akin to constant oversight.

That said, Yang Chen retains a clever approach.

Enveloping himself in the Spacetime Law, he materializes soundlessly beside Zhou Yiming, evading complete detection by the nearby two Ghost Kings.
