The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms Chapter 3360 - 3355: Competition Results?_1
Previously on The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms...
Following that, a robust and formidable figure stepped forth from the throng behind Silver City.
It was evident that this person was the Nine Stars King himself.
Prior to emerging, the Nine Stars King shared a meaningful look with Silver City.
"It’s the Nine Stars King!"
"The Nine Stars King actually came."
"The Nine Stars King has been in closed-door cultivation for some years, right? I remember that he participated in the Night White Star expedition last time, plundering 800,000 merit points. After that, he closed himself off for hundreds of years and disappeared from the news!"
"It seems that Yang Chen has some animosity with Silver City King; hahaha, this is getting interesting."
With hands clasped behind his back, Silver City grinned and remarked, "I heard Brother Yang Chen has already surpassed the Heavenly Boundary Realm limit. Coincidentally, the Nine Stars King under my command also surpassed the Heavenly Boundary Realm limit three hundred years ago. However, my people are low-key and don’t like to show off, so few people know about it."
Yang Chen detected the sarcasm in Silver City’s tone, implying that he was foolish and lacked discretion. True experts like them ought to remain renowned yet understated.
Yang Chen merely shrugged and paid it no mind. In truth, the news of his own breakthrough beyond the Heavenly Boundary Realm limit was something he preferred to keep under wraps.
Yet, the onlookers remained unaware, and a cluster of cultivators began whispering among themselves, murmuring in hushed awe.
"Yeah, look at the Nine Stars King and then look at Yang Chen."
"Yang Chen became famous for surpassing the Heavenly Boundary Realm limit, but when you look at the Nine Stars King, no one even knows about it until now. To be honest, I still have a hard time believing that the Nine Stars King has also surpassed the Heavenly Boundary Realm limit."
"The Nine Stars King was already incredibly powerful hundreds of years ago. It was said that he single-handedly challenged six Heavenly Boundary Realm experts and defeated them in an instant without breaking a sweat."
"If he surpassed the Heavenly Boundary Realm, his strength should be even stronger than before..."
At this point, with Silver City’s offhand comment laced with veiled aggression yet poised grace, he chuckled, "Brother Yang Chen, since both you and the Nine Stars King have surpassed the Heavenly Boundary Realm limit, why not, let’s compete today in this secret realm, how about it?"
Jiang Qifeng burst into laughter, relishing the spectacle, and applauded: "Hahaha, this is a good thing."
Upon hearing this, the Nine Stars King grinned slyly, "Brother Yang Chen, what do you think? I hope your fame is not just for show."
Yang Chen smiled faintly, "Alright, if you two want to compete, I’ll keep you company. But who goes first in this Jingling Secret Realm?"
Regarding provocations from others, he might have shown some restraint, true to his low-profile nature. He never relished fighting others.
But the Spirit Separation Ancestor was a different story!
Daring to provoke him?
The Nine Stars King let out a booming laugh, "Hahaha, whoever goes first will be at a disadvantage, which is a universal truth. Let’s draw lots to decide who goes first."
Indeed, since those outside could observe the interior of the Secret Realm, decisions often relied on the experiences of the prior entrant. Thus, the initial pioneer typically suffered a setback.
"There’s no need to compete; I’ll go first." Yang Chen responded with steady composure.
This response left the Nine Stars King momentarily taken aback, as though he had already yielded an edge to Yang Chen.
After all, while he pondered the order of entry, Yang Chen’s answer came across so nonchalant and effortless.
"However, there’s something I need to remind Daoist friend Nine Stars King," Yang Chen stated evenly.
Meeting Yang Chen’s assured gaze, the Nine Stars King felt an unexpected shiver crawl up his back.
He couldn’t fathom what Yang Chen intended to reveal!
Yet, he inquired instinctively, "What do you want to say?"
Yang Chen grinned, "Nothing much, I just wanted to tell Daoist friend Nine Stars King that if you let me go first, you might not have much of a chance later."
With those words spoken, Yang Chen advanced a step and positioned himself before the Secret Realm’s portal.
A bold declaration dropped, igniting the entire gathering into frenzy.
Chatter erupted endlessly, surging like tides.
Even the Nine Stars King bristled at Yang Chen’s statement. But he quickly composed himself with a mocking chuckle, "Big words, anyone can say them. Yang Chen, let me see how you leave me with no chance!"
No one had ever claimed he lacked opportunity since transcending the Heavenly Boundary Realm limit.
He was eager to witness how Yang Chen would sustain his bravado.
Yang Chen declared, "Elder Jiang, please open the Secret Realm."
Jiang Qifeng appeared perplexed. Initially, he had viewed Yang Chen as a humble sort.
Yet, he hadn’t anticipated that encountering these two would prompt such a shift, turning him boldly assertive.
Still, arrogance required backing. Yang Chen seemed to be pushing it too far...
Unsure how to respond, as the conflict between others didn’t concern him.
He flicked his sleeve, and immediately, the grand portal swung wide.
Once ajar, the Secret Realm’s gateway appeared to connect to a distant realm.
Icy gusts howled from its depths, hinting at the perils lurking within.
Now positioned at the Secret Realm’s threshold, Yang Chen strode in without a second thought.
The instant he vanished inside, the external buzz peaked in excitement.
"What do you think, how many levels can Yang Chen pass?"
"Who would be better in a fight between Yang Chen and the Nine Stars King?"
"I think Yang Chen is too arrogant... Although arrogant people have some capital, Yang Chen may have underestimated his own strength. He’s facing the Nine Stars King, after all."
"In my opinion, Yang Chen has the capital to be arrogant. After all, he has reached Level 9 Merit. You should know that the Nine Stars King doesn’t seem to have Level 9 Merit, does he?"
"That’s just because the Nine Stars King has been accumulating Jiyu Essence in recent years and hasn’t been in a hurry to advance."
"Hearsay! If the Nine Stars King really has Jiyu Essence, he would advance faster than anyone else and have a chance to move to Sky Opening Mountain. Who would hesitate?"
Debates raged among the crowd, with some backing Yang Chen, others supporting the Nine Stars King, opinions clashing fiercely.
However, most gazes fixed upon the hovering display above.
Within that projection stood Yang Chen’s silhouette.
The Jingling Secret Realm consisted of seventeen levels altogether, and Yang Chen had just descended into the initial underground layer.
Observers witnessed a blue motif materialize, followed by Yang Chen’s form vanishing like a specter in a flash.
First Level, Second Level, Third Level, Fourth Level...
Yang Chen surged ahead with the momentum of an unyielding projectile.
Most astonishing was how, amid the blue motif’s glow, Yang Chen traversed the area as if it were devoid of threats, embodying an almost unbeatable presence!!
In his wake, no obstacle could impede him!
All the formidable constructs that daunted the outside world proved utterly helpless against the blue motif!
