The Supreme Martial King Shocking All Realms Chapter 3373 - 3368: Not Daring to Come Over_1

As soon as Yang Chen grasped the Origin Essence, a swift glance around showed him encircled by foreign cultivators.

Over twenty of them in total.

Upon initial inspection, they hailed from races entirely unknown to Yang Chen. Still, relying on accounts from ancient texts, he could approximately recognize them as affiliates of the Spirit God Race's subordinate faction, the Mountain King clan.

"They arrived so quickly." Xingtong placed her hands behind her back, radiating assurance, apparently undisturbed by facing more than twenty adversaries.

Honestly, if she were on her own, no matter her level of boldness, handling over twenty Sky-separation Realm powerhouses simultaneously would be out of the question.

Yet, with the monstrously formidable Yang Chen beside her, she felt utterly secure.

For she understood fully!

She possessed great strength, yet Yang Chen surpassed her by far.

Furthermore, Yang Chen's abilities were nothing short of astounding.

The Mountain King clansmen fixed their gazes on Yang Chen and the Insect Race with clear killing intent. As their attention turned to the Origin Essence, it looked like they were already plotting its distribution.

"Insect Mother Fellow Daoist, we have no desire to battle you to the bitter end, but you simply cannot safeguard this Origin Essence. If you're wise, surrender it without delay." A Sky-separation Realm cultivator from the Mountain King clan bellowed.

Evidently, he was rather astute, knowing full well that confronting an insect mother powerhouse would be tough. Even in combat, it would lead to severe losses on both sides. Thus, he opted to coerce her into yielding without a clash.

"Insect Mother, we urge you to act rationally. Your Insect Mother Race holds considerable might, but surely you don't believe you can outmaneuver every one of us, do you?"

Xingtong's lips curved into a smile, "True enough, it would prove challenging for me by myself to gain the upper hand over all of you. But I'm not on my own."

"Not on your own? Do you have companions? Insect Mother, don't attempt to fool us; our tolerance is wearing thin." A Mountain King cultivator sneered with a mocking chuckle.

Xingtong let out a light laugh, realizing they had gravely underestimated Yang Chen, mistaking him for merely one of her insects, oblivious to his true nature as a human cultivator.

Xingtong paid it no heed. She flashed a captivating smile, "Yang Chen, their numbers are too great for me to manage solo."

"I'll merely activate the domain for you; handle the rest on your own." Yang Chen replied, his hands folded behind him.

"Why so?" Xingtong inquired, her eyes widening in surprise.

Yang Chen responded steadily, "My capabilities aren't yet ready for full exposure."

Xingtong felt a flash of irritation and deep dissatisfaction, but she had no choice in the matter. After all, who could rival Yang Chen's overwhelming power?

As long as his might exceeded hers, she lacked any basis to challenge his decision.

"All right, all right, as you wish." Xingtong replied in a nonchalant tone.

The Mountain King cultivators exchanged confused looks.

"What exactly are they discussing?"

"No idea, but it appears this Insect Mother has no plans to relinquish the Origin Essence. In that case, enough with the chit-chat—let's just eliminate her."

Though they preferred to avoid serious harm in facing the Insect Mother, with Xingtong standing firm and refusing to yield, they resolved to unleash their full strength, demonstrating their formidable prowess to her.

In a flash, the more than twenty Sky-separation Realm Mountain Kings lunged toward Xingtong.

Xingtong reflexively retreated a step and called forth her Sky-separation Realm insects.

Right then, a blue pattern emerged abruptly under Yang Chen's feet, spanning hundreds of square kilometers.

Immediately, every one of the Sky-separation Realm Mountain King powerhouses found themselves ensnared inside it.

Within this domain, the group of Sky-separation Realm experts could scarcely budge, as though bound by a mystical technique that froze time itself.

"Such an incredible domain." Xingtong marveled, having some prior acquaintance with Yang Chen's domain from her previous defeat at its hands.

Even over a dozen Sky-separation Realm insects had stood no chance against Yang Chen's might.

But now, things had shifted—this fearsome domain targeted the foes instead of her.

When used against adversaries, it proved both dependable and swift.

"You should dispatch them promptly. Maintaining my domain drains a substantial amount of law energy." Yang Chen instructed.

"Got it, easy enough." Xingtong beamed enchantingly, and with their exchange concluded, she launched herself forward.

In the span of an instant, Xingtong was stunned by her own velocity. She materialized beside her targets, and moments later, several Sky-separation Realm experts fell to her strikes, utterly unable to dodge.

"What's happening here?" Xingtong wondered in confusion.

Yang Chen explained composedly, "No need for astonishment. You're aware of my proficiency with the Space-Time Law. Inside this domain, I command both space and time utterly. They're constrained by space-time, hardly able to stir, but you're unaffected. I've hastened your time flow, so your sense of time in the domain differs vastly from theirs."

Naturally, Xingtong knew of Yang Chen's command over space-time, and she felt a mix of awe and joy at it. Such abilities from Yang Chen were incredibly hard to relinquish.

Should she unite with him to produce an insect offspring, it might inherit even a portion of Yang Chen's Space-Time Law Power.

Just a fraction would suffice.

Unfortunately, Yang Chen showed zero attraction toward her.

A touch of vexation stirred within her, which she directed toward the Mountain King cultivators.

Up to their final moments, the Mountain King powerhouses stayed ignorant of the real circumstances, still viewing Yang Chen as nothing more than one of Xingtong's insects, unaware that he posed the true threat!

Once she had eradicated the Mountain King powerhouses, Xingtong hurried back.

"Your share of the Origin Essence." Yang Chen offered one to Xingtong.

"One remains down there!" Xingtong pointed out.

"That one's for me." Yang Chen stated.

Xingtong saw no point in disputing it, so she clapped her hands, "With each of us holding an Origin Essence now, drawing out the Spirit Gods should be far simpler. Catching sight of a Royal Spirit God will just depend on fortune."

"No concern, we'll simply continue the hunt." Yang Chen assured.

"You say it like it's simple. Oh, and I just recalled something. If we truly cross paths with a Royal Spirit God, who between us will handle the luring?" Xingtong questioned.

Yang Chen answered coolly, "Obviously, it falls to you."

"Why me?" Xingtong asked, puzzled, "You're the expert in space-time, making you ideal for the task, aren't you?"

Yang Chen shook his head, "I do excel in space-time, and I'd fit the role well. That said, I fear that if I took it on, those Royal Spirit Gods might hesitate to pursue us."
