After hearing this, Xing Chen's expression changed slightly, and he said, "So do I look more like the Thunderfire Deity or the Seven Killing True Monarch?"
His question left Yan Haoxuan speechless. To be fair, Xing Chen did resemble the Seven Killing True Monarch more at this moment, but given Xun Hongyi's status, it shouldn't be a slander against him.
Since Xun Hongyi had obtained the Thunderfire Deity's Inheritance, it was likely that he truly had received it.
"I can prove that he has indeed received the Thunderfire Deity's Inheritance; the Thunderfire Pearl is in his hands."
At this moment, a powerful Yang Po Fivefold warrior spoke loudly. This person was the one who had saved Yang Xingguang when Xing Chen encountered him outside the Sword Sect and had almost captured him.
"What good do you have now?" Yan Haoxuan smiled as he looked at Xing Chen, while others also gazed intently at him.
After all, if the Thunderfire Divine Ring was as miraculous as Xun Hongyi's, then retrieving the Purple Extreme Thunder Sword would have great hope.
"Hehe... hand over the Thunderfire Divine Ring, or I will kill you on the spot," Xue Hongyu said with a sinister laugh as he looked at Xing Chen. He had intended to trouble Xing Chen, and now that the opportunity had come, he naturally would not let it slip away.
"That's right, hand over the Thunderfire Divine Ring; otherwise, you will all die," Yang Yu also glared fiercely at Xing Chen, a powerful aura instantly enveloping him.
"Since you know so much about the Thunderfire Divine Ring, you should understand that the power stored within can instantly kill everyone here."
Xing Chen no longer argued; he raised his head to look at everyone, his eyes flashing with blood light.
Upon hearing this, Yang Yu and others' expressions darkened immediately. Almost everyone turned their gaze toward Xun Hongyi at that moment.
After all, among those present, he was the only one who truly understood the Thunderfire Divine Ring. Therefore, it was up to him to determine whether Xing Chen's words were true or false.
A hint of shock flashed in Xun Hongyi's eyes as well. After all, if what Xing Chen said was true, they would indeed be unable to withstand the power unleashed by the Thunderfire Divine Ring.
However, what if Xing Chen was just bluffing? If it were merely a bluff, they could take advantage of it to capture him and even kill him to seize the Thunderfire Divine Ring.
However, just thinking about the possibility that the Thunderfire Divine Ring contained the powerful force of the Gaze of Fate made Xun Hongyi tremble. After a while, Xun Hongyi cautiously said,
"Stop lying. If your Thunderfire Divine Ring truly held such immense power, it would have wiped us out long ago. Why would we even have the chance to seize the Purple Extreme Thunder Sword?"
"Hmph, the power stored in my Thunderfire Divine Ring is not easy to accumulate; it is for my survival, so I won't use it lightly against you," Xing Chen snorted coldly, speaking with conviction.
This left everyone uncertain about whether to force Xing Chen. After all, if they pushed him too hard and he resorted to using the Thunderfire Divine Ring against them, it would be disastrous.
But if they didn't pressure him to hand over the Thunderfire Divine Ring, how could they retrieve the Purple Extreme Thunder Sword? If they allowed him to absorb the lightning power from the Thunder Pool using his Thunderfire Divine Ring, he might unleash even greater power from it, putting them in even more danger.
Everyone was at a loss; forcing him to hand it over could endanger their lives, but not doing so posed the same risk. They truly didn't know what to do.
"If you want me to drain all the lightning power from this Thunder Pool, I can help. But if you have your eyes on my Thunderfire Divine Ring, don't blame me for being rude," Xing Chen said with a cold smile as he looked at Xun Hongyi and the others.
In truth, he also wanted to use the Thunderfire Divine Ring to absorb the thunder from the Thunder Pool. However, he couldn't appear too eager; otherwise, it would be obvious that he urgently needed to replenish energy for his Thunderfire Divine Ring.
Thus, Xing Chen maintained an indifferent demeanor. Only by doing so could he intimidate these people into allowing his Thunderfire Divine Ring to absorb enough power, giving him a true trump card to contend with them.
"Fine, you can absorb the Thunderous Power inside. But how can we trust that you won't turn against us afterward?"
Xun Hongyi and the others exchanged glances and nodded. It was clear that letting Xing Chen absorb the power was a dangerous gamble. However, obtaining the Purple Extreme Thunder Sword was a risk they had to take.
"Just based on the fact that I haven't attacked you yet and that using the power I've painstakingly absorbed against you would be a tremendous waste," Xing Chen said disdainfully as he looked at Xun Hongyi and the others.
The expressions of everyone changed unpredictably as they considered the implications. If they allowed Xing Chen to absorb the power and he turned against them afterward, wouldn't that be shooting themselves in the foot?
However, this wasn't a time for hesitation. After another exchange of glances, they decided to take a gamble on Xing Chen not attacking them.
"Alright, we have agreed. Yan Zongzhu, what do you think?" Xun Hongyi asked as he turned his gaze towards Yan Haoxuan.
"I naturally have no objections," Yan Haoxuan replied with a smile. Although he felt a deep anger inside, he could not show it at all. After all, if he displayed any signs of anger, everyone would notice that something was amiss.
"Since that's the case, I will gladly accept all the Thunder Power here," Xing Chen said with a slight smile as he spoke slowly.
Then, his figure flickered slightly, and only an afterimage remained in place, while he had already arrived beside the Thunder Pool.
"This time, it's up to you, Thunderfire Divine Ring..." Xing Chen thought to himself as he gently stroked the Thunderfire Divine Ring on his finger.
Suddenly, a powerful suction force erupted from the Thunderfire Divine Ring, and the endless thunder and lightning in the Thunder Pool surged towards it, being absorbed one by one by the ring.
"Truly worthy of being the Thunderfire Deity's Thunderfire Divine Ring. It really is impressive. At this rate, I believe it will take only two hours for the Thunder Power in this Thunder Pool to be completely absorbed."
Yan Haoxuan looked at the Thunderfire Divine Ring in Xing Chen's hand with slightly flickering eyes and spoke lightly.
He had witnessed the power of the Thunderfire Divine Ring, which could even absorb the thunder and lightning from the Thunder Pool. This left him both astonished and a bit greedy.
"Of course. As the last stronghold of our Eastern Region's Gaze of Fate, things belonging to the Thunderfire Deity won't be that simple," Xun Hongyi said, a hint of greed flashing in his eyes. After all, having the Thunderfire Divine Ring would be like gaining an extra life!
With the ability of the Thunderfire Divine Ring to store power, as long as it was filled with energy, one could roam freely in this Eastern Region.
"Hmph!" Xing Chen naturally sensed their greedy gazes; however, he did not react at all. He merely snorted coldly in his heart and continued to absorb the Thunder Power.
As the Thunderous Power continuously poured in, Xing Chen felt his power within the Thunderfire Divine Ring growing stronger. In just a moment, it reached a level comparable to that of the First Stage of Life Observation Gaze into the Self.
The speed of improvement in reaching the Gaze into the Self stage also slowed down until a moment later when its power increased again, reaching the level of the Mid Stage of Self-Observation Realm. At this point, one-tenth of the Thunder Power in the Thunder Pool had already been absorbed by Xing Chen's Thunderfire Divine Ring.
Half an hour later, one-third of the power from the Thunder Pool had been siphoned off, and the power stored within Xing Chen Thunderfire Divine Ring had reached the level of the Late Stage of the Insightful Self Realm, moving towards a peak breakthrough.
"Only two-thirds remain. As long as we absorb this remaining two-thirds of Thunderous Power, we can retrieve our sword. Remember your words, Yan Zongzhu!” Yang Yu said with a smile as he looked at the diminishing Soul Power in the Thunder Pool.
Yan Haoxuan's expression had already darkened. A strong anger flashed in his eyes. If Xing Chen were to completely absorb the Soul Power from the Thunder Pool, then retrieving the Purple Extreme Thunder Sword would be almost effortless.
This outcome was something Yan Haoxuan could never accept; otherwise, wouldn’t he be giving away the Purple Extreme Thunder Sword for nothing?
"If I go over, it will naturally count, but I just don’t know if he can truly absorb all the lightning power from the Thunder Pool. If he fails to completely absorb it in the end, then retrieving the Purple Extreme Thunder Sword will still not be that simple."
Yan Haoxuan spoke calmly. Despite his intense anger, he had to endure it while his mind raced to think of ways to interrupt Xing Chen. He absolutely could not allow Xing Chen to drain all the lightning from the Thunder Pool.
Soon, half an hour passed. At this moment, only half of the lightning power remained in the Thunder Pool, and the power contained in Xing Chen's Thunderfire Divine Ring had reached its peak with Gaze into the Self, about to break through to Gaze of Life.
However, at this time, Xing Chen's speed of absorbing the lightning power had noticeably slowed down and was no longer as fast as before.
"Oh? What’s going on? Has the power in his Thunderfire Divine Ring already reached its limit?" The crowd below couldn't help but wonder as they observed Xing Chen's slowed absorption speed.
"Great! Great! The power in his Thunderfire Divine Ring must be full now. It seems he won't be able to absorb all the lightning from the Thunder Pool." Watching this scene, Yan Haoxuan's heart was filled with joy. If Xing Chen couldn't absorb all the power from the Thunder Pool, it meant he no longer had to worry about the Purple Extreme Thunder Sword being taken away.
With this thought, the dark expression on Yan Haoxuan's face instantly vanished, and a hint of a smile even appeared in his eyes.
