The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms Chapter 3295 - 3290: Luring the Snake out of its Hole_1

Once the agreement was reached, Zhou Yiming fixed his gaze sharply and inquired gravely, "What precisely is Brother Yang Chen’s scheme? In what manner do you plan to draw every Ghost King to this spot?"

"To what extent of chaos must we unleash to pull all the Ghost Kings here simultaneously without tipping them off and prompting reinforcements?" Yang Chen replied.

That was exactly why he'd approached Zhou Yiming, since his knowledge of the Spirit Fire World's current affairs was clearly far shallower than Zhou Yiming's.

It was essential to extract some valuable insights from the man's lips.

At these words, Zhou Yiming responded, "Simply causing a stir won't suffice to assemble all those Ghost Kings in one location. Experts from the Earth Spirit Hall frequently venture into this realm, yet even when tales emerge of one or two Ghost Kings slain, the rest show no concern. They swiftly tidy the aftermath, and vacancies get filled in no time. The only way to spur these Ghost Kings into motion involves the Unwarranted Black Hole, the Gates of Life and Death, and this very Calamity City."

"I’ve always been puzzled—what’s the real intent behind erecting this Calamity City?" Yang Chen questioned.

"I’m not entirely certain myself. Calamity City remains an enigma. For years, I’ve delved into its secrets without uncovering a thing. Still, one fact stands clear: the Netherworld holds Calamity City in high regard," Zhou Yiming explained.

"Would demolishing Calamity City lure every Ghost King here?" Yang Chen probed.

"That might instantly rouse the stronger Ghost Kings to summon their superiors. These Ghost Kings are extremely wary. Once, eleven Heaven-separated Realm powerhouses banded together to infiltrate and snag some gains. But a mere hint of their presence was enough, and the mighty Ghost Kings called in aid at once. Ultimately, just six of those eleven Heaven-separated Realm experts fled alive. It was a dreadful outcome," Zhou Yiming lamented.

These details made Yang Chen knit his brows, "So, what’s our next move?"

His primary worry centered on enemy reinforcements arriving. Heaven-separated Realm foes posed no threat to him, yet summoning Heaven-appointed Realm masters would complicate matters.

Though he was confident his present cultivation level could handle early Heavenly Fate Realm stages without fear, avoiding such clashes remained preferable.

Zhou Yiming continued, "We shouldn’t aim to raze Calamity City outright, but rather ignite some turmoil within it. I’m aware that the heart of Calamity City’s formation lies in a Calamity Sphere! That Calamity Sphere serves as the foundational pillar for the whole Calamity City. Should it vanish, the city’s building process would halt instantly."

"Delaying or halting Calamity City’s construction would surely force the Ghost Kings to rally their troops. This issue hasn’t escalated beyond control just yet. Reporting it hastily to higher-ups would fall squarely on their shoulders, inviting severe repercussions. Thus, they won’t risk alerting anyone," Zhou Yiming added.

"Yet, will this approach draw every Ghost King to the scene?" Yang Chen wondered.

Zhou Yiming mulled it over, "I can’t promise success. Luring them all in one go might prove challenging. That said, if the Ghost Kings fail to locate the Calamity Sphere, they’ll undoubtedly dispatch more forces to hunt it down. Right now, no superior tactic exists."

Yang Chen nodded, "True enough, this stands as the best option available. We’ll proceed with it."

"Stealing the Calamity Sphere won’t be straightforward, I fear," Zhou Yiming cautioned.

"Precisely where is this sphere located?" Yang Chen pressed.

"The Calamity Sphere sits at Calamity City’s loftiest peak. Brother Yang Chen will spot it immediately upon viewing," Zhou Yiming replied.

Yang Chen released his soul to scout ahead.

Calamity City’s heart featured a grand tower piercing the heavens. Crowning the structure gleamed a dark orb.

A aura of eerie silence radiated from the orb, releasing vast swirls of Ghost Qi that shrouded the entire realm.

"Several Boundaryless Ghost Venerables stand guard over this orb, with seals abound in its vicinity, plus its elevated position. Their vigilant spirits render it nearly impossible to snatch away undetected," Zhou Yiming noted.

"Leave it to me; I’ll claim it at once," Yang Chen declared offhandedly, extending his hand in a gesture.

With their exchange concluded, the Calamity Sphere vanished from its perch atop the tower, materializing squarely in Yang Chen’s grasp.

Zhou Yiming stood utterly stunned by this arcane feat.

"Th-this!" Zhou Yiming’s eyes bulged in shock, "Brother Yang Chen, how on earth did you pull that off?"

He had anticipated Yang Chen possessing some means to seize the Calamity Sphere, yet he’d never envisioned it happening with such ease.

Merely an instant passed.

"That’s a spacetime ability, though typical spacetime talismans couldn’t achieve this. Are you wielding the paramount law, the spacetime law?" Zhou Yiming’s eyes narrowed in awe.

Yang Chen merely grinned without elaborating, "The Calamity Sphere is now mine. Once the other mighty figures notice its absence, they’ll launch a probe. Brother Zhou, we must conceal ourselves swiftly."

His words barely faded when Yang Chen seized Zhou Yiming and plunged beneath the earth, forging a secluded dimension for their refuge.

Ling Huan Sha and her companions held no relevance to him there; they relied on their own evasion techniques.

Just as Yang Chen foresaw, the Calamity Sphere’s vanishing plunged all of Calamity City into utter turmoil.

The Boundaryless Ghost Venerables tasked with its watch were left utterly bewildered. They couldn’t fathom the Calamity Sphere evaporating beneath their direct supervision.

"The Calamity Sphere has vanished—alert Lord Scorpio without delay!"

A horde of formidable entities rushed about in frenzy, leaping into immediate response.

The Calamity Sphere’s loss compelled Calamity City’s expansion to grind to a crawl.

Below ground, within the isolated realm Yang Chen had formed, he set about examining the Calamity Sphere.

"This Calamity Sphere proves remarkably strange; its mysteries elude me for the moment," Yang Chen observed.

Lacking any leads meant the Calamity Sphere was no ordinary artifact, and retaining it could yield future benefits.

Harboring that idea, Yang Chen tossed the Calamity Sphere toward the enormous egg, stowing them side by side.

Next, his attention shifted to Zhou Yiming.

By then, Zhou Yiming’s expression carried a hint of anxiety and strain.

The scheme was underway, after all, though its outcome remained uncertain.

"Brother Zhou, I have a question for you," Yang Chen stated.

Zhou Yiming queried with interest, "What matter does Brother Yang Chen wish to discuss?"

"Regarding Wan Tianyu’s daughter, the Aristocratic Families’ Saintess Wan Qiuying—do you know her location?" Yang Chen inquired.

At this, Zhou Yiming sighed deeply, brow creased, and shook his head, "I have no idea. Truth be told, during my enslavement, brief spells of awareness allowed me to spy on them covertly. I’ve pieced together hints on numerous matters, but nothing ever surfaced about my niece Qiuying’s whereabouts. I’m clueless as to what the Netherworld folk have inflicted upon her."
