The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms Chapter 3338 - 3333: The Great War Against the Four-direction Ghost Kings_1

Previously on The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms...
Yang Chen conversed with the imprisoned Yue Xing Zhen Ren, clarifying his independent motives for the rescue to aid the Ice and Fire Sky Phoenix Sect and clarifying he was not aligned with the earlier group. Fu Xuanbing, resentful, betrayed Yang Chen's presence to the guarding Ghost Kings, prompting one to report to Master Four Directions. Despite Yue Xing's doubts about his poisoned and crippled state, Yang Chen assured him of his medical skills and effortlessly extracted him from the complex formation using space-time manipulation. As they prepared to escape, a powerful aura suddenly approached.

The intense aura evidently emanated from a Heaven-appointed Realm powerhouse, turning Yang Chen's face solemn. From his perspective, the foe's abrupt arrival lacked any prior notice or motive, rendering it entirely absurd.

Prior to this moment, he had concealed his position completely. So how had the adversary managed to track him down?

This Heaven-appointed Realm Ghost King proved to be none other than the Four-direction Ghost King.

Swiftly, the Four-direction Ghost King manifested his authentic shape. His colossal Ghost King frame resembled a Demon God from the heavens, brimming with overwhelming might.

Gazing upward from the ground with a strained look, Yang Chen declared icily, "Four-direction Ghost King."

"Not good." Yue Xingzhenren's face twisted sharply. "How did they find us?"

"Hmph!"

With a disdainful cold snort, the Four-direction Ghost King remarked: "Well, well, well, humans, your scheme is truly elaborate. I must admit, even I was nearly duped by you. Were it not for a human alerting me, I would remain unaware that you've already freed Yue Xingzhenren. Yet regrettably, destiny continues to back our Netherworld faction. Lad, since you've arrived, surrender your life here!"

Witnessing this, Yue Xingzhenren sank into utter hopelessness and released a heavy sigh.

They had been mere steps from freedom when this disaster struck. Even his steadfast soul at this level suffered a profound blow.

Yang Chen now knitted his brows, puzzled over who had betrayed his location.

A human?

Could it be!

Fury ignited in Yang Chen: "Well, well, well, Fu Xuanbing! I truly misjudged you!"

He had assumed that despite the fierce animosity between him and Fu Xuanbing, it remained a personal feud among humans. Never did he anticipate Fu Xuanbing would stoop so low, pulling everyone into ruin when escape seemed impossible.

The Four-direction Ghost King's assault crashed down explosively, pinning Lu Xuanbing beneath a towering mountain alongside the spectral claw.

At this juncture, Yue Xingzhenren harbored no further optimism. His logic and vast knowledge warned him that salvation was utterly out of reach.

Yet right as despair gripped him, a fierce wind abruptly swept by.

All the while, Yang Chen's form stayed rooted, though now a blue design emerged under his soles.

In an instant, the design's scope engulfed the Four-direction Ghost King.

Due to this, the colossal blow from the Four-direction Ghost King decelerated markedly.

Yang Chen too thrust out his palm in retaliation. The Five Elements collided thunderously with the Four-direction Ghost King's mighty blow, shattering it completely.

Echoes of their skyborne clash reverberated everywhere, visible to all onlookers.

Including Ming Hu, Qian Li, and the others held captive, who had roused from slumber to behold the spectacle above. Profound shock gripped them, clueless about the turn of events. Yet spotting Yang Chen there, battling the Four-direction Ghost King, their gazes brimmed with disbelief.

For Yang Chen had indeed countered and neutralized the Four-direction Ghost King's onslaught.

Concurrently, Bao Lu observing from afar caught sight of this too. Upon seeing Yang Chen dispel the Four-direction Ghost King's assault, astonishment seized her as well.

Shock rippled through the Four-direction Ghost King, sensing his form hindered by countless barriers inside Yang Chen's blue design.

Time and space twisted asymmetrically, to the extent that his subsequent strikes lost much of their force. Even his bodily swiftness had dulled considerably.

"A space-time domain? How could this youth command the essence of space-time?" The Four-direction Ghost King exclaimed in disbelief.

Yue Xingzhenren stood stunned as well. With his extensive background, how could he fail to identify this as the supremely rare and potent law—the Space-Time Law?

"Four-direction Sir."

Several Heaven-separated Realm Ghost Kings sought to join the fray.

But the Four-direction Ghost King bellowed lowly, "Stay out of this domain if you value your lives."

Upon hearing this, the band of Heaven-separated Realm powerhouses paled involuntarily. For the Four-direction Ghost King to issue such a warning? Did this domain truly wield such terrifying potency?

In that instant, the Four-direction Ghost King fixed a savage glare on Yang Chen and snarled coldly, "Well, well, well, impressive indeed. No surprise you're the final one to show. You're clearly the mightiest in this group. It's a privilege to push me toward unleashing my full might, but this concludes it. Time to wrap things up!"

With those words, the Four-direction Ghost King unleashed his entire Ghost Qi in a surge.

Once the Ghost Qi exploded outward, the laws embedded within it hurled forth unyieldingly.

Confronting this law-infused barrage, Yang Chen countered with yet another palm thrust. They met once more, though now Yang Chen clearly held the shorter end!

"Such formidable laws! Is this the might of a Heaven-appointed Realm master unbound by the Heavenly Dao?" Yang Chen murmured inwardly.

Heaven-appointed Realm Early Stage, though distant from Middle or Later stages, remained a force not to trivialize.

"I've discarded all former approaches, leaving me with scant options at present. Take this blue design—it's merely a partial domain." Yang Chen thought silently, "To avoid deploying the Five Elements Turn Heaven Palm, I channel Five Elements power into a single strike. Even then, echoes of the Five Elements Turn Heaven Palm linger, yet its potency is vastly reduced, nowhere near its peak when fully executed."

A touch of helplessness washed over Yang Chen. Forsaking his old cultivation paths brought both gains and losses.

Still, without question, his strength had undeniably grown.

"Hmph, a mere speck challenging the moon's glow!" Noting his edge, the Four-direction Ghost King scoffed and unleashed another palm assault.

This assault differed from the last. More precisely, its force surpassed the prior one.

Meeting this palm thrust, Yang Chen's demeanor grew graver still. Yet that gravity swiftly morphed into thrill.

None understood the reason.

Only Yang Chen did.

He had yearned for a fierce confrontation to stir his blood fully. Yet peers capable of sparking such fervor were exceedingly rare, if they existed at all.

During his extended time at Earth Spirit Hall, not a soul had compelled him to exert his utmost.

Now, however, the Four-direction Ghost King appeared marginally worthy.

This palm thrust was quite decent!

Yang Chen shut his eyes, summoning a vast, eerie dark visage from nowhere.

The emergence of this frightful face left Yue Xingzhenren speechless. At first, it resembled a Netherworld Yinhun spectral entity, but a deeper look revealed otherwise.

He even reflexively attributed it to the Four-direction Ghost King's art. Yet a thorough soul scan confirmed the enormous ghostly face stemmed from Yang Chen himself!

As the ghost face materialized, it bared its savage maw and engulfed the Four-direction Ghost King's incoming strike. In a blink, it devoured the attack entirely.

When the spectacle concluded, silence blanketed the area; even a pin's fall would echo...
