Chapter 733: Chapter 736: Obliteration

As the voice reached his ears, a figure had already appeared, standing firmly in front of Yang Chen and Christine, forming a triangle.

Christine's beautiful eyes flashed with concern as she hurriedly said, "Neptune, don't misunderstand, Hades. It wasn't him who violated the covenant this time."

Poseidon ignored the woman, his gaze fixed straight on Yang Chen. Meanwhile, Yang Chen found it rather amusing to observe this sudden arrival of the Sea King.

Although Yang Chen had inherited Hades' divine status, he didn't know much about the gods' exact details. Seeing the person Christine mentioned, second only to Zeus and Athena, naturally piqued his interest.

What initially caught Yang Chen off guard was this big shot's attire—it was truly "startling"!

Was he a chef?

He was wearing a large white robe, dirty leather boots, and a tall chef's hat. The chest of his work uniform was embroidered with letters, indicating that he worked at a seafood restaurant on Honolulu Island.

The man looked to be around fifty, with a gray-white beard, some wrinkles, a tall and muscular build, and gray-blue eyes—he looked like any ordinary white old man you might find on the streets of America.

Yang Chen couldn't have imagined that the famous Poseidon, the Sea King, had reincarnated as a chef in this life!

"You seem surprised," Poseidon said expressionlessly.

Yang Chen wiped his face, trying not to laugh, and responded with a serious tone, "I've long heard of your name, and now that I've seen you, it lives up to the reputation."

Yang Chen, unsure of what to say, ended up giving a rather awkward greeting.

Christine couldn't help but giggle, "Neptune, Hades is just surprised by your profession. I've told you so many times, even if you don't want to be a military officer, you didn't have to become a chef."

Poseidon turned his head to look at Christine, but even this stunning beauty didn't cause his expression to change. "Aphrodite, you'd better stay out of this. I don't want any innocents getting hurt."

Christine's face stiffened. She had thought that by lightening the mood with a joke, she could avoid a fight between the two men. Frustrated, she snapped, "Neptune, do you still intend to fight? I told you, it wasn't Hades! Don't you believe me?!"

"I believe what I saw in the video. As for the truth, I'll know after testing him," Poseidon replied sternly.

Christine wanted to say more, but the next moment, Poseidon had no intention of continuing the conversation.

A domineering pressure suddenly spread out, as if a massive storm had formed over the entire sea, covering hundreds of miles!

Unsealing—

Seeing this, Christine knew that persuasion was futile. She gave Yang Chen a worried look, signaling him to take care of himself, then unsealed her power as well and used spatial divine power to teleport several hundred miles away!

"Damn it, not even giving me time to explain. You're even more violent than Ares!"

Yang Chen's face turned grim. The power unleashed by Poseidon alone was greater than what he and Ares had released together in their previous battle!

As the true essence filled his body, the pressure suddenly lessened. Yang Chen let out a long howl, deciding not to use spatial laws anymore. Instead, he raised a protective shield of true essence and pointed forward with one hand!

A massive surge of true essence shot forward like the first ray of sunlight breaking through the clouds, silent but shattering dozens of layers of space upon contact!

It worked! Yang Chen was overjoyed. The true essence was indeed several times stronger than his previous true energy, easily tearing through dozens of layers of spatial force!

But from a distance, Poseidon's lips curled into a slight smile. "You're too naive."

As soon as he finished speaking, before Yang Chen could increase his true essence output, the spiral sphere underwent a drastic change!

The hundreds of layers of space that had been rotating in one direction suddenly began to rotate in reverse in some areas!

This caused friction between the spaces, creating intense quantum collisions that generated violent currents. Inside the sphere, these quantum storms became like countless sharp blades, cutting through the space and rushing towards Yang Chen!

Even though Yang Chen was protected by true essence, he could feel the immense pressure building up on his shield, as if it could collapse at any moment! He couldn't help but mentally curse Christine. The gap between the main gods wasn't just large—it was a chasm!

No wonder Apollo and Diana had said that even together, they couldn't defeat Athena. This Poseidon, with just a casual move, had pushed him to the brink. How terrifying must Athena be?!

From Christine's perspective, he wasn't even as strong as Apollo and Diana!

All these thoughts flashed through Yang Chen's mind in an instant. He couldn't afford to stop. He reinforced his true essence output, sending a massive wave of energy crashing into the chaotic rotating space prison!

But soon, Yang Chen's face turned pale.

The true essence he had unleashed with all his might had only managed to break through less than half of the stacked spaces before being completely exhausted!

It seemed that the reason his true energy had been able to break through Ares' spatial force was purely due to the difference in their power levels! Ares simply couldn't manipulate as many layers of space. If he had been able to control dozens or hundreds of layers like Poseidon, no matter how hard Yang Chen tried, it would have been useless!

It was like trying to cut through a hundred sheets of paper stacked together. Even if you cut through the first fifty, the paper could simply shift, closing the cut. And the quanta forming space were far more resilient than paper!

Yang Chen couldn't believe it. He had been deceived by the idea of "transcending the Three Realms and not being bound by the Five Elements" that Yan Sanniang had told him!

Now he wasn't sure if Yan Sanniang had been misled by the "pseudo-historical narrative" of Hongmeng or if she had misunderstood it herself.

While it's true that true essence can traverse parallel spaces, that doesn't mean it doesn't get consumed in the process!

No matter how advanced one's cultivation, as long as they're still within the universe, all energy is just a form of quanta, though in a more advanced state.

Unless one's cultivation surpasses the entire universe, how could they possess the power to break through all forms of cosmic energy?!

At this moment, Yang Chen felt like dying. Being ignorant is truly terrifying! Yan Sanniang had nearly gotten him killed! He was now fully convinced that in the war tens of thousands of years ago, the gods were definitely not the weaker side!

With just this one move, Poseidon could easily annihilate countless Nascent Soul cultivators! After all, Nascent Soul experts are still human, and their combat power might not even match his own. Once they're dead, they're gone for good!
