Hades, the Urban Legend

Chapter 734 - 737: It’s Too Late



Chapter 734: Chapter 737: It’s Too Late

At this moment, Yang Chen had no time to dwell on that piece of history. He cursed inwardly—Poseidon was truly shameless! He hadn't done anything wrong, he hadn't violated any agreements, yet Poseidon attacked him without distinguishing right from wrong. Was he really going to destroy Yang Chen's physical body today, forcing him to reincarnate out of desperation?!

Hundreds of nautical miles away, Christine struggled to maintain a spatial shield to block the chaotic quantum impact. She wanted to get closer to stop Poseidon, but the overwhelming spatial divine power kept her at bay, leaving her only with growing anxiety! She had thought Poseidon's test was just a small skirmish, not expecting him to unleash a killing move right from the start!

"Neptune! What are you doing? Even if Yang Chen isn't the Hades of the past, he's still one of us! Do you really want to reduce our already dwindling twelve to eleven?!" she shouted.

Poseidon's voice, filled with divine authority, carried a hint of disdain, "Aphrodite, that's your naive thinking. Even if he has inherited Hades' divine status, in my eyes, he's far from replacing Hades!"

Christine's face turned pale, helplessness written all over her. She bit her lower lip, not knowing what to do, only hoping that Yang Chen could break free on his own.

Facing the still-trapped Yang Chen, Poseidon's deep voice penetrated the space, questioning, "Now, do you still believe that the power of my divine spatial laws is inferior to that of the Summer Flame thief?!"

Hearing this, Yang Chen nearly spat out blood on the spot!

This old man, unleashing such a deadly move, was just because of a single doubt Yang Chen had expressed earlier, dismissing the spatial laws as nothing to worry about.

Seeing Yang Chen remain silent, Poseidon spoke again, "If you still don't believe it, you're welcome to try. If you can break through this, I'll admit that the primal force of the Summer Flame is indeed slightly superior. Don't think that defeating an immature Ares makes you Hades' rightful successor. In my view, you're still far from it! If you admit defeat now and acknowledge your mistake, in consideration of the previous Hades choosing you, I'll let you suffer a little less."

Yang Chen originally intended to admit defeat and save his life. Although he hadn't used his full strength, even at full power, he wasn't sure he could win—there was no need to fight a losing battle.

But hearing this scornful tone, clearly mocking his lack of insight and ungratefulness, Yang Chen's pride surged uncontrollably!

Damn it, since I was born, I've never been afraid of death!

Initially, Yang Chen was going to give in, considering he still had women at home to take care of. But now, it seems he would have to let those women down.

"Heh, you want me to admit defeat? I won't! Worst case, I'll reincarnate today—if you think I'm a fish on your chopping block, think again!"

Yang Chen laughed heartily and stopped holding back. He unleashed all the primal force in his dantian, a vast and majestic energy bursting out of his body like a flood!

Yang Chen's entire being seemed to become a focal point of primal force, his muscles and veins swelling, his body even forcibly growing taller!

Veins bulged at his temples, and his eyes began to show traces of blood-red, interspersed with golden flashes!

"Ugh..."

Yang Chen let out a painful roar as he felt his meridians swell like never before. The primal force rampaging through him pushed him to his limits, causing many tiny blood vessels to rupture, spraying fine lines of blood!

But despite this, the terrifying regenerative power of the "Evolving Thought Sutra" rapidly repaired Yang Chen's body, even as it was being destroyed at an astonishing speed!

"Hmph, do you think that's enough to break free?!" Poseidon sensed the rebound force within the spatial sphere and intensified the blue light in his eyes, layering the space even more!

Amidst the overwhelming sea, flashes of starlight began to appear—glimpses of the universe's stars revealed through the torn space!

In the violent quantum storm, Yang Chen resembled a traveler trudging through a snowstorm, forcing himself forward against the blizzards from all directions, stubbornly taking a step forward!

This step, like a thunderous blow, shocked Christine, who was watching the uneven battle from afar!

A shockwave formed by primal force spread out from under Yang Chen's feet, sweeping away the surrounding chaotic quantum streams!

Yang Chen stopped thinking altogether, leaving only a fierce, violent thought in his mind—to fight!

Desperately, his body wrapped in powerful primal force, Yang Chen transformed into a long rainbow, crashing into the spiraling spatial barriers!

Like a high-speed cutting blade, at the moment of collision with the metal-like small sphere, sparks flew!

"Boom, boom, boom!"

The muffled thunderous explosions echoed across the sky, blue and purple lightning bolts constantly traversing the void!

Yang Chen felt as if his entire body was about to be torn apart, but he knew that with such a ferocious impact, Poseidon wouldn't be able to withstand it easily either—he must be exerting himself to the utmost!

Far away, Poseidon's expression grew solemn, as if he had returned to the times of battling the ancestors of the Chaos Era. The impact of primal force breaking through was all too familiar!

The spatial layering had reached its limit, but Yang Chen was still breaking through, nearly tearing through the space-spanning tornado!

"Hmph!"

Poseidon snorted heavily, his blue eyes flashing intensely. Seeing his move about to be broken, he abruptly tore open the spherical space storm with one hand!

Yang Chen suddenly felt the surrounding pressure ease, the space around him instantly returning to stability. Thinking Poseidon had run out of energy, without hesitation, he surged forward with his tidal-like primal force, instantly teleporting to within a few feet of Poseidon, throwing a punch!

Poseidon didn't even try to dodge, throwing a punch of his own, but before their fists could meet, a distorted mass of space formed in front of him!

Yang Chen's heart sank, instantly realizing he was in trouble!

The fist, filled with surging primal force, collided with Poseidon's, only to be met by a fist fortified with the density of over a hundred layers of spatial force!

The primal force couldn't break through the high-density spatial force in such a short time; instead, it became trapped within, like being stuck deep in mud, unable to escape!

A cold smile appeared on Poseidon's lips, "Let me show you the difference—spatial explosion."

Before Yang Chen could react, the high-density spatial force unleashed a terrifying explosion!

It was as if a nuclear explosion occurred at the same point across hundreds of spaces, all concentrated around Yang Chen's single hand!

This was a spatial law application Yang Chen had never anticipated—using layered spaces to create quantum collisions and explosions!

It was similar to the principle behind the most primitive atomic bomb, but far more powerful than any atomic bomb created by humans!

Yang Chen's face twisted in agony, his eyes bloodshot, and he let out a scream of pain!

The unprecedented pain made Yang Chen clearly feel his trapped hand being torn apart by an indescribable force!

A hoarse, agonizing cry escaped his throat, sweat pouring down like a waterfall!

"Hmm," Poseidon muttered in surprise, "Such destructive power, yet it couldn't completely destroy your arm. Your body's toughness must not solely be due to 'Divine Light.' It seems the cultivation technique from Summer Flame you practice is quite miraculous and interesting!"

"Shut up," Yang Chen muttered, barely aware of what he was saying, his mind overwhelmed by a sense of resentment that left him barely in control.

Thump! Thump!

Yang Chen's heart began to beat violently!

His eyes gradually turned completely blood-red, even his soul trembling! A familiar sensation started to creep into his last vestige of sanity.

The aftereffects of the Divine Light were about to explode again?!

Yang Chen had always believed that after reaching the pinnacle of innate power and entering the Nascent Soul stage, his bloodthirsty madness had been cured!

But now, Yang Chen realized it wasn't truly cured—he had subconsciously suppressed it with his cultivation. Now, having unleashed all his primal force, there was little left to suppress the ailment, and combined with his intense resentment, the old bloodthirsty symptoms from the Divine Light were resurfacing! The killing intent had solidified into demonic claws, and Yang Chen's primal force, initially tinged with a faint golden light, now resembled black silk, interwoven with scorching crimson!

Poseidon felt a chill in his heart, "Such heavy murderous intent—no wonder Hades entrusted the divine status to you; in this aspect, you're quite like him!"

"Get away..." Yang Chen muttered, his voice rough, blood even seeping from his gums, dripping from the corners of his mouth.

"Get away? Hahaha! Do you think your murderous intent, born from slaughter, can really affect me?! Right now, I'm only holding your arm. If you still don't yield, I don't mind letting your entire body endure the cleansing of spatial explosions." Poseidon sneered.

Yang Chen had no time to listen to what he was saying, gasping for breath, his voice raspy with pain, "Get away! Get far away! It's dangerous—if you don't go now, it'll be too late."
