The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms Chapter 3356 - 3351: Uncle Qing’s Request_1

"Breaking through that barrier catapults one into the heavens, instantly exceeding the Sky-separating Realm's power threshold and pulling off feats that typical Heaven-separated Realm powerhouses couldn't dream of. By then, warriors who've pushed past the Sky-separating Realm's ceiling can crush rivals on their level with minimal effort and tangle with hordes of them without a hitch—nothing out of the ordinary there." A sigh escaped Fairy Yun Xiu, laced with deep feeling, as her eyes sparkled with intense desire.

Her deepest wish was to emerge as a formidable force that eclipses the Sky-separating Realm's boundaries. Crossing that threshold would ensure she'd outmatch her contemporaries in the Heavenly Fate Realm moving forward.

Yang Chen got the gist upon listening.

Yet, questions swirled in his mind about his own situation, since stepping into the Sky-separating Realm had already let him shatter its limits, enabling battles against multiple foes at that level.

A hidden grin tugged at Yang Chen's lips.

It had to stem from his mastery of ten laws, plus the two most potent ones among them.

Without those, vaulting over the Sky-separating Realm's limit so effortlessly would have been impossible.

"I get it now, many thanks for the insight, Fairy Yun Xiu." Yang Chen expressed, clasping his hands respectfully.

Noticing Yang Chen harbored no resentment toward her, Fairy Yun Xiu released a relieved breath. She'd fretted over him holding onto her earlier rudeness, a prospect that chilled her to the bone.

Fairy Qing Wan picked up where she left off: "Brother Yang Chen's prowess has undoubtedly hit the Sky-separating Realm's peak. That's precisely why I've sought you out today. Few in the Sky-separating Realm match your caliber. I know it's a bold ask, but time is slipping away for me. If I delay further, the King of the Netherworld might ascend to Heavenly Destiny Realm heights someday. I'm terrified I'll never close the gap in this lifetime."

Observing Fairy Qing Wan's shift from arrogance to fragility stirred a measure of empathy in Yang Chen for her plight.

Tremendous burdens weighed on Fairy Qing Wan's soul, fueling her fears and anxieties. Beneath that strain, she doubted her ability to topple the King of the Netherworld, resulting in endless frustrations.

Yang Chen felt a profound stir, realizing a haughty figure like Fairy Qing Wan rarely sought aid. Yet here she was, laying it all bare to him.

"Is Fairy Qing Wan suggesting I take on the King of the Netherworld?" Yang Chen inquired, a hint of uncertainty in his tone.

With Yang Chen seeing through it, Fairy Qing Wan didn't dodge: "Exactly..."

Yang Chen responded gravely, "Should the King of the Netherworld exceed the Sky-separating Realm's limit, his might would be formidable. I'm reluctant to forge an needless foe for myself."

"I realize this is asking a lot, but Young Master Yang Chen, please grant my plea. I'll offer whatever it takes, holding nothing back." Fairy Qing Wan pleaded.

Those words truly piqued Yang Chen's interest, though he held off on consenting right away. "Fairy Qing Wan has laid it out so earnestly; turning you down would be improper. As a Human Race cultivator, confronting the Netherworld is my obligation. That said, I have some clarifications needed before diving in. Without them, I can't commit."

A wry chuckle slipped from Fairy Qing Wan as she noted Yang Chen's prudent nature.

Most others would leap at the chance to flaunt their skills and agree on the spot, but Yang Chen was different.

Still, grasping the depth of his power, how could she object? She promptly replied, "Go ahead, Young Master Yang Chen."

"Given your deep-seated grudge against the King of the Netherworld and your standing, rallying a handful of Heavenly Fate Realm masters for an ambush to slay him ought to be straightforward," Yang Chen pointed out.

Fairy Qing Wan gave a pained smile, "Do you suppose I haven't considered that, Young Master Yang Chen? Truth be told, I'd give anything to end the King of the Netherworld personally. But my power falls short, forcing me to seek alternatives. Even if it shatters my dignity, I'd charge ahead unflinchingly."

"However, taking down the King of the Netherworld is far simpler in words than in deed. Leading Heavenly Fate Realm masters to pursue him would likely alert him early, prompting a swift getaway. Besides, he only shows up in certain restricted zones. There, any Heavenly Fate Realm presence would instantly tip off the Netherworld's own at that level, warning the King forthwith," Fairy Qing Wan explained.

Yang Chen nodded, grasping the intricacies.

Experts at the Heavenly Fate Realm were exceedingly sparse, so defenses against Sky-separating Realm intruders remained loose across realms, unlike for Heavenly Fate Realm ones.

That explained the abundance of Sky-separating Realm spectral beings slipping into human lands, versus the rarity of their Heavenly Fate Realm counterparts.

"That's one issue; moreover, even if I'm inclined to aid Fairy Qing Wan against the King of the Netherworld, there needs to be a proper opening. I can't trail you indefinitely without direction," Yang Chen added.

Relieved that Yang Chen was open to assisting, Fairy Qing Wan offered a soft smile. "Rest easy, Young Master Yang Chen—I've mapped it all out. I believe you'll head to the Forbidden Spirit Palace too. Come then, we'll join forces, and the King of the Netherworld is bound to join as well. That'll let us zero in on him directly."

The revelation left Yang Chen momentarily taken aback; he'd never anticipated Fairy Qing Wan's scheme unfolding this way.

It caught him off guard completely.

For a beat, Yang Chen found himself at a loss for words, leaving both Fairy Qing Wan and Fairy Yun Xiu puzzled by his odd expression.

"Young Master Yang Chen, is something amiss?" Fairy Qing Wan queried, a touch of worry in her voice.

Wearing a sheepish look, Yang Chen admitted, "Fairy Qing Wan, you've got the wrong idea. I have no plans to visit the Forbidden Spirit Palace this round."

Naturally, he intended to venture to the Forbidden Spirit Palace, but alongside Xingtong—a detail he couldn't reveal. He was compelled to keep it concealed from Fairy Qing Wan and the rest.

In this conversation with Fairy Qing Wan, he could only claim disinterest in going.

"What!" Fairy Qing Wan's frame quivered as she took Yang Chen at his word. "Young Master Yang Chen, why skip the Forbidden Spirit Palace? Are you aware of the vast treasures awaiting inside? Your caliber guarantees immense gains. Just aid me against the King of the Netherworld, and I'll back you completely. On the Jiyu Essence front, I'll ensure you're compensated fairly."

Facing the distraught Fairy Qing Wan, Yang Chen replied with a wry grin, "It's a misunderstanding, Fairy Qing Wan— the Jiyu Essence isn't the concern. I simply follow my own path and plans. I regret not being able to help with the King of the Netherworld."

Despair clouded Fairy Qing Wan's gaze, the sharp sting of hope kindled then dashed in moments—a torment graspable only by her alone.
