Death Grip
At the lowest level of the Thunderfire Temple, Xing Chen and his companion have endured countless hardships to finally arrive here.
"The true Inheritance of the Thunderfire Deity should be right here!" Meng Xiner looked around, her pretty face showing a hint of excitement.
"Thunderfire Deity, don't let me see you, or even if you're dead, I will whip your corpse; otherwise, my hatred will never be quelled," Xing Chen said fiercely. This was the first time he felt such anger; it was remarkable that a dead person like the Thunderfire Deity could provoke such rage in him.
In the center of the three-layered plaza, there was a Crystal Coffin suspended in mid-air, inside which a corpse could be faintly seen, unchanged after thousands of years.
Inside the Crystal Coffin, there were several burial items. Although not many in number, each one was undoubtedly one of the most beloved and powerful treasures of the Thunderfire Deity during his lifetime. Even the least valuable could rival an early-stage Earth-Level Divine Weapon.
The most eye-catching item in the Crystal Coffin was a spherical object with a purplish-red hue, constantly emitting arcs of electricity. This was one of the most cherished treasures of the Thunderfire Deity, known as the Thunderfire Pearl, whose power could compare to a peak Earth-Level Divine Weapon.
"That is the most precious treasure of the Thunderfire Deity besides the Thunderfire Classic, the Thunderfire Pearl," Meng Xiner said, her eyes shining as she stared at the Thunderfire Pearl inside the Crystal Coffin.
"Thunderfire Pearl?" Xing Chen did not have much knowledge about the Thunderfire Deity, so he was unaware of what kind of treasure the Thunderfire Pearl was.
"The Thunderfire Pearl is considered to be the strongest treasure of the Thunderfire Deity. Its power can rival that of a peak Earth-Level Divine Weapon. In his weaker days, it was this treasure that saved his life multiple times. If I obtain this Thunderfire Pearl, then even a strong opponent from the Yang Spirit Realm would not be able to harm me in any way."
Meng Xiner looked at Xing Chen with a pitiful expression, but at that moment, Xing Chen was already staring at the Thunderfire Pearl with shining eyes, completely ignoring her.
The Thunderfire Pearl is a treasure that combines offense and defense; it possesses not only powerful attack capabilities but also top-tier defensive strength.
After hearing Meng Xiner's explanation, Xing Chen gained a general understanding of the Thunderfire Pearl. The pearl can summon the Nine Thunderfire Powers to kill enemies and can transform into a Thunderfire Divine Shield for self-protection. Unless an enemy possesses a High-Level Divine Weapon or advanced martial arts techniques, it would be impossible to break through the defenses of the Thunderfire Pearl.
In ancient times, it was this treasure that allowed the Thunderfire Deity to escape from powerful opponents several realms above him and ultimately become a formidable figure known as the Eastern Domain Overlord.
"How about this: you take the Thunderfire Classic, and I take the Thunderfire Pearl?" Xing Chen asked as he looked at Meng Xiner.
Meng Xiner pouted, revealing a look of grievance, clearly dissatisfied with the distribution results.
"Don't think that I will give you all these treasures; that's impossible," Xing Chen said lightly, glancing at Meng Xiner. No matter who he was, it was unlikely that anyone would give away such a large number of rare treasures.
"Let's put them away for now! We can distribute them after we get out; otherwise, we'll be in trouble when those people arrive," Meng Xiner said reluctantly.
"Okay." Xing Chen nodded, naturally having no objections. He looked at the Crystal Coffin and slowly walked forward. However, just as he approached within fifty meters of the Crystal Coffin, he found himself unable to advance any further; an invisible force seemed to be preventing him from moving forward.
"Is there a restriction here?" Xing Chen's expression shifted slightly. There must be some kind of formation or restriction preventing others from approaching the Thunderfire Deity's Crystal Coffin.
As a powerful figure at the Peak of Fate Observation Realm, the Thunderfire Deity certainly wouldn’t allow someone to easily lift the coffin lid and take out the body. If that were the case, he would not be worthy of being a Soul-Searching Realm Expert.
"We can't get in; there's a restriction there," Xing Chen retreated and spoke slowly. The power of the restriction was particularly strong; as soon as he approached within fifty meters of the Crystal Coffin, even his Vital Energy could not circulate, let alone remove the Crystal Coffin containing the Thunderfire Deity's body.
"This Thunderfire Deity is really despicable, with traps and restrictions everywhere. Doesn’t he get tired?" Meng Xiner said somewhat angrily. However, the Thunderfire Deity was already dead; being angry at this point was pointless.
"If it doesn't work, then let's use brute force. Damn it, I've never liked this Thunderfire Deity anyway; I must take revenge," Xing Chen took out the Thunder God Sword and glared fiercely at the Thunderfire Deity's Crystal Coffin. Before Meng Xiner could say anything, Xing Chen had already swung his sword.
With Xing Chen's strike, the might of the Earth Grade Divine Weapon was fully displayed. Thunder roared, and Electric Silver Serpents flickered continuously. This sword strike tore through the air like lightning piercing through darkness, instantly cleaving towards the Crystal Coffin in mid-air.
Buzz!
Just as Xing Chen's sword struck towards the Crystal Coffin, a layer of purplish-red light suddenly illuminated its surface, and at that moment, the lid of the Crystal Coffin slowly began to open.
"Haha, just as I expected! Anyone who comes here will surely be unable to resist taking action against me."
A robust male voice suddenly echoed.
Xing Chen and Meng Xiner both froze in place, staring blankly at the Crystal Coffin in mid-air.
In the Crystal Coffin, the body of the Thunderfire Deity slowly rose, its gaze deep and imposing, exuding an aura of authority.
"Thunder... Thunderfire Deity? You actually... you actually didn't die?" Meng Xiner's delicate face was filled with disbelief. Anyone who saw a person who had been dead for a thousand years suddenly speaking would likely react the same way.
Xing Chen's hand gripping the sword trembled slightly, and at the same time, he began to curse inwardly. The Thunderfire Deity was playing with people in a way that was beyond comprehension. Clearly not dead, yet pretending to be dead, and had been so for a thousand years. What was most infuriating was that it had actually lain down in a coffin to feign death.
As Xing Chen cursed the Thunderfire Deity in his heart, the corners of his mouth involuntarily twitched.
"My Inheritor, inherit my power! You must use this power to restore my Eastern Region to its ancient prosperity, to let the declining fortune of my Eastern Region shine once more..." The Thunderfire Deity seemed not to hear Meng Xiner's words and spoke calmly.
Gradually, Xing Chen and Meng Xiner finally noticed something unusual about the Thunderfire Deity: it had not looked at either of them from beginning to end, only talking to itself.
"My Inheritor, come! Accept my power, accept my Inheritance, retrieve the lost Divine Weapon of my Eastern Region, and restore the declining fortune of my Eastern Region..." The Thunderfire Deity pointed slowly, and a beam of thunderfire shot out instantly.
Buzz!
Just as the light of Inheritance was about to descend upon Xing Chen, the Black Jade Pendant within him suddenly reacted. A flash of black light flickered across him, and when the thunderfire light touched the Black Radiance, it instantly changed direction and was absorbed by Meng Xiner.
"This..." Xing Chen stood there dumbfounded as he watched the Inheritance that was almost within his grasp fly away. At that moment, he could not hate the Black Jade Pendant more.
That was the Inheritance of a Peak Expert of the Fate-Observing Realm! Just like that, it was given to someone else by this broken jade pendant. In an instant, Xing Chen felt an immense frustration in his heart. How could he be so unlucky? How could his luck be so poor? This was truly like having a cooked duck fly away.
Meng Xiner was also stunned in place at this moment. She did not expect that the Inheritance originally belonging to Xing Chen would ultimately become hers. After a moment of shock, a look of ecstasy appeared on her face. Wasn't the Thunderfire Deity's Inheritance exactly what she had always dreamed of? Now that her dream had come true, Meng Xiner couldn't express how happy she felt inside.
At this time, the Thunderfire Deity slowly lay back down in the coffin, and after it reclined again, the Crystal Coffin fell from midair.
"Meng Xiner, do you know how I feel right now?" Xing Chen looked at Meng Xiner and spoke each word slowly, making her feel a chill run down her spine.
"Uh... don't get excited; it's not that I took your Inheritance; it's... it's..." Meng Xiner waved her hands repeatedly while hurriedly explaining. However, in the end, she didn't know what else to say, and her delicate face instantly turned red with anxiety.
Although she did not compete with Xing Chen for the Inheritance, the Inheritance suddenly turned towards her just as it was about to enter Xing Chen's body, leaving her at a loss for how to explain it.
"I want the Thunderfire Pearl!" Xing Chen glared at Meng Xiner for a moment before speaking.
He naturally knew that this matter had nothing to do with Meng Xiner. Although he felt resentment, he would not vent his anger on a girl like her. His expression was simply because he wanted the Thunderfire Pearl. Since Meng Xiner had gained such a significant benefit and felt guilty towards Xing Chen, she would definitely not refuse this request.
"Alright, I'll give it to you. Just don't get too worked up." Meng Xiner agreed almost without thinking. What she feared most was that Xing Chen would become agitated. Throughout their journey, she had gained a thorough understanding of his strength and knew that she had no chance of winning against him.
Moreover, since she had taken his Inheritance, it was only right to compensate him with the Thunderfire Pearl, Meng Xiner thought to herself.
Upon hearing this, Xing Chen's gloomy expression improved somewhat. After a short while, the two of them completely looted everything from the Crystal Coffin. Xing Chen successfully obtained the Thunderfire Pearl, along with some elixirs that would help improve his cultivation and several rare treasures.
The most precious item among them was undoubtedly the Thunderfire Pearl. While the other items were also quite good, they paled in comparison to the Thunderfire Pearl.
In addition to the Thunderfire Pearl, there were more than a dozen other burial items, each of which was exquisite. Among them were two Earth Grade Divine Weapons, both of which were Earth Grade Top-Tier Divine Weapons, much stronger than the Thunderfire Divine Blade.
After all, the Thunderfire Divine Blade was merely a weapon used by the Thunderfire Deity before reaching Gaze of Fate and could not be compared to these Divine Weapons collected after he attained Gaze of Fate.
