The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms Chapter 3329 - 3324: Mysterious Process_1

Xingtong's eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a trace of astonishment.

She had assumed Yang Chen was just an arrogant fool, yet he turned out to possess such deep knowledge. This implied he fully understood her capabilities, yet he remained utterly composed and unperturbed!

Her face grew icy as she declared, "Since you know that much, how dare you address me in such a manner? It appears you're truly seeking death!"

Yang Chen offered a faint smile in response, "Fellow Daoist Xingtong, you've got it wrong. I meant that you're simply no match for me!"

His words landed like a thunderclap, resounding fiercely in the minds of all present.

After a momentary silence, the Insect race members erupted in mocking laughter, as though they'd just heard the most ridiculous jest imaginable.

In earlier times, Xingtong might have joined in the amusement. Yang Chen's claim sounded utterly presumptuous and beyond foolish.

Yet, for an inexplicable reason, when he uttered those words earlier, a shiver of unease stirred deep within her spirit.

This sensation caused her to hesitate in dismissing Yang Chen too lightly!

She locked her gaze on him sharply and gestured with her hand, commanding the insects beneath to cease their chuckling.

Upon noticing Xingtong's cue, the Insect race followers dared not disobey and promptly shut their mouths, silencing their mirth.

Xingtong kept her eyes fixed on Yang Chen and spoke gravely, "Fine then. As the Insect Queen, countless years have gone by. Every assault I've faced came from foes stronger than myself. No one at my level has ever dared to challenge me so openly. Yang Chen, you're the very first. Claiming I'm no match for you—ha, what nonsense. I'll grant you an opportunity, but this isn't the place for battle. We'll head outside."

"No issue." Yang Chen replied with steady calm.

At Yang Chen's swift agreement, Heng Ye's face shifted, growing even graver. Bao Lu shuddered and blurted out, "Yang Chen, what are you doing? Aren't you aware of the Insect Queen's might? She commands every insect in the Cave Mansion, plus endless swarms across the wasteland. You're still set on clashing with her?"

Yang Chen glanced back casually and grinned, "I'm fully aware of all that."

Bao Lu's slender frame quivered. She believed Yang Chen had lost his mind, completely insane.

She wasn't alone in that view. Xingtong shared the sentiment as well.

In her mind, this human had clearly descended into madness, but even against a lunatic's provocation, she would retaliate with her utmost power. Such was the sacred dignity of an Insect Queen, never to be trifled with.

With that resolve, Xingtong unleashed her presence, sending a regal dominance surging outward in every direction.

"My children, come with me!" Xingtong commanded in a piercing voice.

This formidable pressure served as a direct provocation, aimed at Yang Chen while flaunting her prowess.

Xingtong's aura wasn't alone; it was joined by the overwhelming presences of the myriad insect races!

In contrast, Yang Chen stood solitary.

Even so, confronting Xingtong's crushing might, he merely curled his lip in subtle scorn, a mere smirk. Abruptly, a horrifyingly intense aura erupted from him, surging forth right after hers.

This force expanded like a raging torrent, sweeping in from vast distances, or akin to a ferocious gale, utterly unstoppable!

As it radiated outward in an instant, all who deemed themselves mighty felt profoundly insignificant. Helplessness gripped them from the core!

Xingtong, right at the heart of Yang Chen's domineering aura, found herself utterly cowed in mere moments!

"The Heaven-separated realm... at its peak?"

Xingtong's eyes bulged wide.

Assessing the pinnacle of the Heaven-separated realm remained ambiguous, yet surpassing it marked someone as fearsomely potent.

Such elites were scarce even in sects, scarcely inferior to the Heaven-appointed realm.

Xingtong couldn't confirm if Yang Chen had attained the Heaven-separated realm's zenith, but to her, even that fell short of defying her supremacy.

The insect race would never yield merely to a formidable adversary!

"Excellent, you've proven worthy of my attention. Let's go!" Xingtong bellowed, "Hun Yu, watch over Heng Ye and Bao Lu."

"Understood!" The formidable figure named Hun Yu answered with deference.

Xingtong spun around and departed, leading a vast horde of insects, while leaving only Hun Yu to stay.

Yang Chen trailed after her without a second's pause.

As they departed, Bao Lu bit down on her teeth in deep worry. Yang Chen's earlier aura had been formidable, though aimed mainly at Xingtong. She remained ignorant of its full extent and viewed the Insect Queen as an unmatched force at her tier.

This conviction was etched firmly in her thoughts!

Yang Chen made no exception!

Anxiety and concern churned within her, myriad worries pressing down, yet she saw no way to alter the course.

All that remained was to endure the wait.

That anticipation stretched across an entire day and night!

Throughout that span, Bao Lu detected intense clashes of battle echoing from the desolate lands beyond the Cave Mansion.

Such combat stirred the soul, its ferocity palpable even through the distant roars.

Soon enough, though, the noises began to fade.

Once silence fell, it was clear the confrontation had concluded.

Still, the outcome—who triumphed, who fell—remained shrouded in uncertainty. Mystery enveloped it all, and hours after the end, Yang Chen and Xingtong finally reentered the Cave Mansion.

They returned unharmed in vital ways, bearing only light scratches, no grievous harms.

Upon arrival, Yang Chen wore his usual serene smile, as if no ordeal had transpired.

Xingtong, meanwhile, bore a grave demeanor, and a closer inspection revealed traces of dread and alarm in her stern visage.

Guessing the root of that dread and alarm proved simple.

For all could observe how Xingtong's unease stemmed from her repeated glances toward Yang Chen.

"My Queen, did you... prevail or fail?" Hun Yu, the vigilant guardian, eyed his queen in confusion.

"Speak of this no more!" Xingtong snapped.

At her words, the devoted Hun Yu shook, struggling to accept what he'd heard.

Could the unbeatable Xingtong utter such a phrase?

Heng Ye and Bao Lu shared the profound bewilderment!

The events between Yang Chen and Xingtong remained an utter enigma to everyone!
