The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms Chapter 3369 - 3364: Cooperation and Reproduction_1

Xingtong gave a faint smile, observing that Yang Chen hadn't changed at all—still principled and precise, skipping any small talk. He jumped directly into the core issue!

'Yang Chen, you're aware of my aim. I don't require a lot, just a single Origin Essence. Once I secure one Origin Essence, I'll deliver the insect eggs from my body. Naturally, my attainment of the Heavenly Destiny Realm hinges on your capabilities,' Xingtong remarked with a grin.

Yang Chen shook his head. 'Do you possess any hints on entering the Heavenly Destiny Realm?'

'The hint lies within the Forbidden Spirit Palace. During my recent return to the Insect Race, I conducted a targeted probe and uncovered certain indications. It's best for us to pursue these hints once inside the palace. Plus, there's another matter I must warn you about!' Xingtong explained.

Yang Chen inquired with confusion, 'What's that?'

'Soon, I'll head back to our Insect Race. You'll need to pose as one of my subordinate insects. This approach offers the utmost safety and minimal risk of detection,' Xingtong stated.

Yang Chen pondered briefly before responding, 'Though humans and the Insect Race differ at their core, aren't you concerned about getting caught?'

'Rest assured, I've got methods to handle it.' Xingtong's lips curved upward, brimming with assurance.

Noting Xingtong's assured expression, Yang Chen nodded. 'Fine, if you're confident, I have no issue pretending to be one of your insects. That said, I have an additional requirement.'

'What requirement?' Xingtong questioned, surprised.

Yang Chen spoke with hands clasped behind his back: 'I'll exert every effort to assist you in reaching the Heavenly Destiny Realm. Yet, once you've achieved the Heavenly Destiny Realm, I desire your continued partnership. Beyond the Jiyu Essence, the Forbidden Spirit Palace surely holds even greater treasures.'

Hearing this, Xingtong first narrowed her eyes slightly, then let out a light laugh.

In truth, she had contemplated betraying him upon entering the Heavenly Destiny Realm, or at minimum, ceasing cooperation with Yang Chen.

But after reflection, she abandoned that notion.

Could she handle him after breaking through to the Heavenly Destiny Realm?

Even supposing she could overpower him in the Heavenly Destiny Realm, might she eliminate Yang Chen?

She sensed Yang Chen concealed some aces up his sleeve and remained an enigma. It was wiser to avoid enmity if feasible.

For the moment, their alliance as companions held no drawbacks.

Furthermore, since Yang Chen ventured to negotiate with her, he undoubtedly possessed some assurance. She required a fitting ally, and Yang Chen fit the bill perfectly!

'Our minds align on this. Upon reaching the Heavenly Destiny Realm, I'll want to delve deeply into the Forbidden Spirit Palace's mysteries,' Xingtong declared.

Yang Chen queried, 'Then, when do we depart?'

'We can leave immediately, though disguises come first. Observe this hide!' With a flick of her sleeve, a slender yet expansive insect hide materialized before Yang Chen's eyes.

Gazing at the insect hide, Yang Chen asked in bewilderment, 'What's this?'

'It's my shed skin. It retains my Insect Race aura. Should a cultivator of another race don this skin, they'll be instantly shrouded in its aura, rendering detection impossible. Positioned among my commanded insects, you'll appear as one of them. Still, alter your looks. Evolved insects bear a semi-human, semi-insect form, but your features bear no resemblance to the Insect Race,' Xingtong elaborated.

'Modifying my appearance poses no challenge.' Yang Chen retrieved several Silver Needles and pierced them into key acupoints.

Swiftly, his features shifted into a startling new form right before Xingtong.

Now, Yang Chen stood shorter, upright like a human, yet topped with a shell-like helm and bearing small black wings on his back. He had fully morphed into a hybrid human-insect being.

Witnessing Yang Chen's change, Xingtong's mouth parted in slight astonishment.

'Yang Chen, you're truly versatile. I had fretted over your disguise, yet you've executed it flawlessly,' Xingtong said with a charming smile.

Typical cultivators' disguises relied on illusions, easily pierced, but Yang Chen's was a genuine bodily alteration, utterly remarkable.

Yang Chen donned the insect hide, enveloping his frame, and asked, 'Ready to proceed now?'

'Absolutely, onward.' With a sweep of Xingtong's delicate hand, she and Yang Chen vanished in an instant.

When they resurfaced, the pair had reached their goal: the Night Wind Domain's Ji Yuan Continent!

Upon landing in the Ji Yuan Continent, both Yang Chen and Xingtong inhaled sharply.

For the scene unfolding was nothing short of breathtaking.

The whole land brimmed with figures in every direction. Cultivators from countless clans converged here. Dominating the crowds were representatives from the five primary race factions.

The Human Race, Netherworld, Ruthless Beast Race, Insect Race, and Spirit God Race!

Mighty figures from these five major race factions created an ocean of humanity. Heaven-separated Realm cultivators dotted the landscape abundantly. Realmless cultivators outnumbered them even more.

A fair number of Heavenly Destiny masters lurked among them. And with a keen gaze, one could spot silhouettes of multiple Heavenly Extreme Realm titans.

It was evident this occasion's gravity had even stirred the Heavenly Extreme Realm powerhouses to full attention.

In terms of battle prowess, none lagged behind the rest.

Besides the five major race groups, subordinate factions from diverse clans appeared too. Such as the Flame Spirit Race under the Ruthless Beast Race's banner, and myriad groups subjugated by the Netherworld.

The Spirit God Race boasted the smallest contingent and scant subordinates, yet none in the throng dared belittle them.

By contrast, the Human Race commanded the vastest array of vassals.

Yang Chen hadn't realized it earlier, but now he perceived numerous unseen subordinate races trailing the humans.

'Your Human Race truly boasts immense numbers,' Xingtong commented, guiding Yang Chen toward the Insect Race's domain.

At present, though the atmosphere crackled with strain, the elites of each race maintained strict order, refraining from clashes.

They understood this wasn't the moment for conflict.

They must preserve their strength for the impending true confrontation.

Yang Chen, hands folded behind his back, remarked: 'Should your Insect Race prioritize breeding, your numbers wouldn't trail the Human Race's.'

'Do you believe every race multiplies as effortlessly as your humans?' Xingtong shot him an exasperated eye-roll. 'Our Insect Mother Race chiefly yields male insects. Males function solely as fighters, whereas female Insect Mothers drive the Insect Race's growth. Regrettably, birthing female Insect Mothers is exceedingly rare. That said, I reckon joint efforts in reproduction could boost the odds considerably. Then, I'll have my offspring acknowledge you as her sire.'
