The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms Chapter 3330 - 3325: Bao Lu’s Talent_1
Previously on The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms...
The pair departed for their confrontation, yet precisely what unfolded in that clash?
Who claimed victory and who suffered defeat, plus all that occurred amid the struggle? How come neither bore any wounds, and what sparked such intense dread in Xing Tong toward Yang Chen? These riddles baffled everyone, leaving no path to discovery.
All events now wrapped in secrecy.
A close inspection would reveal that just two from the twelve Heaven-separated Realm Insect Race warriors who trailed Xing Tong returned by her side, their forms battered and scarred.
These pair of Heaven-separated Realm Insect Race experts had previously voiced sharp disdain for Yang Chen. Yet at present, they refrained from even whispering in his vicinity.
The clueless swarm merely noted Xing Tong resuming her prior spot upon her return.
Meanwhile, Yang Chen inquired calmly, "Fellow Daoist Xingtong, can I now escort Bao Lu away?"
At his remark, Xing Tong released a soft breath and responded, "Yang Chen, claim her and depart."
With a mild chuckle, Yang Chen flicked his sleeve, swiftly dissolving the enclosure that held Bao Lu into oblivion.
Gazing upon Yang Chen, Bao Lu’s lovely gaze expanded in bewilderment as she uttered, "Yang Chen, what exactly transpired between you two...?"
Offering few words, Yang Chen swept his sleeve once more and declared, "Let’s depart!"
As the exchange concluded, Yang Chen seized Bao Lu and vanished without a lingering look, abandoning Heng Ye solitary in the Cave Mansion, where he gaped vacantly at the unfolding scene.
In the beginning, Heng Ye believed Yang Chen courted doom, even anticipating his downfall this round.
Yet unforeseen twists led to this outcome?
What manner of individual was this savior who once rescued him and clashed with Fu Xuanbing? What sort of formidable being did he embody?
...
Yang Chen and Bao Lu exited as one, vanishing from the Barren Land in mere moments.
"Yang Chen, has your command over Space-Time Law grown this potent?" Bao Lu’s crimson lips parted faintly as they rematerialized, her voice a whisper.
Yang Chen grinned and replied, "Bao Lu, it’s surely been ages since our last encounter, hasn’t it?"
"Yes, quite some time has passed, though your transformations give the sense of eons apart—hundreds of thousands of years, even. Yang Chen, what truly occurred with you and Xing Tong? As Insect Queen, she’s no simple foe," Bao Lu stated gravely.
Yang Chen chuckled while shaking his head, "This isn’t the moment for such tales."
"So, who prevailed between you?" Bao Lu pressed, her confusion evident.
Yang Chen merely beamed without response.
Bao Lu’s intrigue deepened, her desire burning to grasp the full account.
Noting his demeanor, Bao Lu queried, "Why abandon Heng Ye by himself in the Cave Mansion?"
"As I mentioned earlier, he proves utterly lackluster. I spared his life once, yet witness his conduct toward me. Naturally, I spared him on your account. Regarding Xing Tong, she likely won’t trouble him anymore," Yang Chen answered coolly.
These words eased Bao Lu’s tension at last. Though deeply let down by Heng Ye, his deeds appeared aimed at her welfare, only to thrust her deeper into peril.
Still, he remained her sibling, after all.
"Yang Chen, I won’t forget your earlier pledge. You rescued me, so now aid me against those Netherworld foes too!" Bao Lu fixed her stare on Yang Chen without wavering.
Yang Chen let out a laugh, "So, you pulled me from danger just to exploit me, is that it?"
Though Bao Lu stood near Yang Chen, reuniting under these bizarre circumstances prompted her swift amusement, "I won’t yield! You’re my ally, so handle this matter for me. Moreover..."
"Moreover what?" Yang Chen probed.
"With Xing Tong’s prospect vanished, my aid in ascending to the Heavenly Destiny Realm shifts to you—and you’ve claimed the Blood Phoenix Banner besides," Bao Lu noted.
"Aid in reaching the Heavenly Destiny Realm? What pact bound you to Xing Tong? Why does this puzzle me still?" Yang Chen expressed his bafflement.
Bao Lu offered a poised smile, "Plenty escapes your knowledge! The Ice and Fire Heavenly Phoenix Royal Clan teems with males, yet females number scarce indeed. Across endless epochs, such females emerge rarely within the clan. But when they do, they receive utmost nurturing."
"What prompts this? Does it tie to that?" Yang Chen wondered.
"Absolutely, it connects. Prior to stepping into the Heaven-separated Realm, a female of the Ice and Fire Heavenly Phoenix Royal Clan matches the talents of fellow royals. Yet upon entering the Heavenly Destiny Realm, she unlocks a Divine Transmission Talent. Paired with the Blood Phoenix Banner, this gift amplifies to its peak. It can propel a Heaven-separated Realm cultivator straight to the pinnacle of the Heavenly Destiny Realm!" Bao Lu elaborated.
Absorbing this, Yang Chen’s eyes tightened, "Should you assist my entry to the Heavenly Destiny Realm, I’d welcome it gladly. But sacrificing your life in the process? I’d forgo that realm entirely."
Bao Lu’s heart steadied at Yang Chen’s declaration.
This very trait cemented her view of him as a true companion.
Yang Chen always instilled a sense of heartfelt warmth!
"Rest easy, no need for concern. My intent to stake my life aiding Insect Queen Xing Tong’s ascent to the Heavenly Destiny Realm stemmed from the sheer hardship she faces in attaining it. The Divine Transmission Talent draws on Essence Blood might, and this method elevates typical Heaven-separated Realm cultivators to the Heavenly Destiny Realm via mere virgin blood. Only when aiding a figure like the Insect Queen Mother does the toll soar, even endangering life itself," Bao Lu answered softly.
Yang Chen found no shock in the Insect Queen’s arduous path to the Heavenly Destiny Realm—it stood to reason. Were it as straightforward for her as for others, such aids would have long flowed to the Insect Queen from elsewhere.
Every force bears strengths and flaws; perfection eludes all.
Yet as his mind dwelled there, Yang Chen swiftly grasped that the crux lay not in that, but in the virgin blood aspect...
In a flash, Yang Chen voiced his astonishment, "It demands your virgin blood? You remain untouched!"
Bao Lu’s cheeks flushed crimson, her rebuke sharp, "What’s that supposed to imply? Do I strike you as some sullied sort?"
"Er, I merely assumed, given your vast years, a mate might have come along," Yang Chen ventured, caught off guard.
"Are you calling me aged?" Bao Lu demanded, ire rising.
"No, that’s not it at all," Yang Chen hastened to deny, gesturing emphatically.
Bao Lu huffed in disdain, "I wield the Divine Transmission Talent and have preserved my purity. Lacking virgin Essence Blood, future activations would drain my own vital essence. Even boosting standard Heaven-separated Realm cultivators to the Heavenly Destiny Realm could then imperil my existence."
