Death Grip
“Shattering Star Finger! One Finger Shatters the Stars!”
Xing Chen's eyes gleamed with a cold light as he pointed out, causing the stars in the sky to tremble. A powerful aura emanated from him, making the faces of those opposite him change slightly.
“Looking for death!” Seeing Xing Chen point, the young man in the Crimson Robe revealed a hint of ruthlessness in his eyes. Although he was surprised that Xing Chen, a Half-Step Yang Spirit Realm, possessed such strength, this level of power was still insufficient to contend with him.
Suddenly, this person trembled all over, and a wave of fiery red energy surged forth, raising the temperature of the entire space.
When Xing Chen's finger made contact with this energy wave, his expression turned somewhat grim. At the same time, a purple-red light flashed around him, and the Thunderfire Divine Shield instantly rose up to protect him.
Indeed, the people from the sea region were much stronger than those from the Eastern Region at the same realm. Although that previous attack was not his strongest move, it was unexpectedly easily shattered by this person. This situation made Xing Chen pay even more attention to the people from the sea region.
“The people from the sea region are indeed powerful. If I had used that attack against a Yang Po Er Chong expert from the Eastern Region, I could have at least injured them, but this person effortlessly countered my attack.”
Xing Chen's gaze flickered as he looked at the young man in the Crimson Robe. At the same time, he felt a vague sense of retreat. After all, he was unfamiliar with this place; if he could deal with them easily, it would be fine. However, seeing the opponent's strength now made it clear that they were formidable to a certain extent. He definitely could not casually kill these people.
In fact, if he wasn't careful, it was also possible for them to severely injure him.
“Half-Step Yang Spirit Realm survived my impact and is still alive. Not bad, not bad. It seems you should be quite talented,” said the young man casually as he glanced at Xing Chen.
“Hmph!” Xing Chen snorted coldly while secretly keeping an eye on another Yang Po Er Chong expert. If these two joined forces, would he be able to handle it?
“Kid, it's still not too late to reveal your identity; otherwise, I won't be polite,” said the young man in the Crimson Robe, his eyes flashing with a hint of coldness.
“Song Gaodan, don’t you think it’s beneath your status to bully a Half-Step Yang Spirit Realm Rascal like this?” At that moment, another Half-Step Yang Spirit Realm expert suddenly spoke up. Surprisingly, he was no longer targeting Xing Chen, but instead turned his attention toward the young man in the Crimson Robe.
“Zhao Yu, stop pretending to be a good person. We can deal with our matters later, but this kid who suddenly barged in absolutely cannot be allowed to leave just like that,” Song Gaodan said with a murderous glint in his eyes as he glanced at the other Yang Po Er Chong expert ominously.
“Brother, you should reveal your background; otherwise, leaving here will be quite difficult for you,” said Zhao Yu, shifting his gaze toward Xing Chen.
However, he was merely asking out of curiosity and had no intention of confronting Xing Chen. From the earlier exchange between Xing Chen and Song Gaodan, he had already realized that Xing Chen was definitely not an ordinary person; it was best not to offend someone like that.
Xing Chen remained silent, not because he didn't want to speak, but because he didn't know where to start. His presence here was entirely accidental, and he had no understanding of this island. Even if he wanted to fabricate a story, he wouldn't know how.
"Since you don't want to talk, then you're seeking death," Song Gaodan said without hesitation. Vital Energy surged within him as his gaze locked onto Xing Chen.
"Fire Burns All Living Beings!"
A Earth Grade Divine Blade suddenly appeared in Song Gaodan's hand. He swung it down, unleashing a torrent of flames and heat. The fire coalesced into a blade shape, intertwining into a fiery net that descended upon Xing Chen.
Xing Chen's eyes flickered as purple-red light surged around him. He activated the Thunderfire Divine Shield once more, and the purple-red barrier was covered in Thunderfire Power. With a single tremor, the raging flames were dispersed in all directions.
"Seven Killing Blood Seal!"
A blood-red light erupted from Xing Chen's hand, exuding a murderous aura akin to a Killing God sweeping through the surroundings.
Five Blood Seals slowly formed in his hand. Then, taking a step forward, his momentum increased, and the ground seemed to be stained with blood at that moment.
Xing Chen thrust his palm forward fiercely, and the Blood Seal transformed into an Angry Dragon, roaring towards Song Gaodan.
"Fire Refining the Mortal Realm!"
With a loud shout, Song Gaodan struck again with his blade. Instantly, an endless Fire Sea enveloped the area, surrounding the Blood Seal as if trying to refine it completely.
Watching the boundless Fire Sea, Xing Chen's expression grew serious. He could feel that within the Fire Sea, the blood-red light on the five Blood Seals was gradually diminishing as if they were truly being refined by the Fire Sea.
"I no longer have the advantage in Martial Arts and Divine Weapons here; it will be much more difficult to fight above my level like I did in the Eastern Region," Xing Chen thought to himself. At the same time, he slightly opened his mouth, and the Thunderfire Pearl flew out instantly.
"Nine Thunder Fire!"
A purple-red light flashed in Xing Chen's eyes as the Thunderfire Pearl erupted with brilliance. A surge of purple-red Nine Thunder Fire rushed forth towards Song Gaodan and others.
The terrifying high temperature emitted by the Nine Thunder Fire is several times more intense than the boundless flames below. Even more frightening is that the Nine Thunder Fire not only contains the heat of flames but also the destructive power of thunder. The combination of the two creates an unimaginable level of power.
"Boom!"
The Nine Thunder Fire collided with the Fire Sea below in an instant, and for a moment, purple-red light and fiery red light intertwined. The terrifying shockwave spread outwards, forcing others to retreat.
Song Gaodan's face turned pale as he stepped back a few paces. The impact of the Nine Thunder Fire caused some internal injuries due to the violent tremors.
"Soul Devouring!" Xing Chen's eyes suddenly shone with a strange light as he looked at Song Gaodan. This time, he directly used the soul technique recorded in the Soul Devouring Refinement Technique.
With his current Soul Power, he could easily suppress any Yang Spirit Second Layer Peak expert's Soul Power. Coupled with the power of the Plaque contained within his soul, using this technique became even more effective.
As Song Gaodan was gazed upon by Xing Chen, his expression instantly became dazed. He then felt a tremendous pulling force emanating from Xing Chen's eyes, as if his soul were being devoured.
Moreover, due to the suppression of the Plaque's power, he had no strength to resist.
"Young Master!"
At that moment, those around Song Gaodan noticed something was wrong and exclaimed in alarm. They were about to take action when Zhao Yu suddenly signaled to those nearby. That person immediately understood and led others to intercept those who were about to act.
"Get lost, or don't blame us for being rude. If anything happens to the Young Master, our Song Family will definitely not let you off easily," shouted one of the Yang Spirit Realm members of the Song Family.
"Hmph, do you think our Zhao Family fears your Song Family?" sneered a Yang Spirit Realm expert from the Zhao Family, showing no intention of backing down.
Just as they were arguing, a visible beam of light shot from Song Gaodan's body into Xing Chen's eyes. Following that, Song Gaodan's eyes completely lost their luster, and his body slumped down weakly.
At this moment, Song Gaodan's soul had already been absorbed by Xing Chen using the Soul Devouring Refinement Technique. After absorbing Song Gaodan's soul, Xing Chen's soul power, which was barely comparable to that of a Yang Spirit Realm Third Layer expert, was completely elevated to Yang Po San Chong.
Moreover, he gained a wealth of information about the sea region and this island from Song Gaodan's soul. This island is called Nebula Island, which is home to four major forces: the Zhao Family, the Song Family, Nebula Gate, and Fire Sect.
These four forces are the rulers of Nebula Island and its absolute overlords. However, from Song Gaodan's memories, Xing Chen learned that Nebula Island is not a particularly powerful island in the sea region, and among these four forces, their strongest member is only at the level of Yang Po Sevenfold.
Nebula Island is one of the many islands in the vast sea, ranking quite low among them. After all, the combined forces on this entire island cannot compete with the former Azure Cloud Gang.
However, this Nebula Island is merely an insignificant island in the grand scheme of the vast sea, overshadowed by countless stronger ones.
Xing Chen quickly skimmed through Song Gaodan's memories and finally gained some understanding of the sea and this Nebula Island. This ability to view others' soul memories is naturally a secret technique included in the Soul Devouring Refinement Technique.
“Shattering Star Finger, shatter the stars, two fingers break the earth, three fingers extinguish the sky, four fingers dominate the Cosmos, five fingers bring down gods and demons!”
After Xing Chen opened his eyes again, a chilling killing intent flashed in his gaze. He then pointed out with five fingers towards the strong members of the Song Family. His five fingers primarily targeted two Yang Spirit Realm experts and one Half-Step Yang Spirit Realm expert from the Song Family.
As he pointed out with these five fingers, the surrounding space trembled, and winds surged. Each finger strike from Xing Chen was stronger than the last. He believed that even a Yang Po Fourfold expert would not emerge unscathed from these strikes.
“Quick, get out of the way!” Seeing Xing Chen continuously point out with five fingers, Zhao Yu shouted urgently for his family members to quickly avoid it to prevent being caught in this powerful attack.
“Dragon God Fist!” The Yang Spirit Realm expert from the Song Family, seeing such a powerful attack coming, realized it was too late to evade and quickly threw out a punch.
With this punch came a roar like that of a dragon, as if countless dragons were dancing wildly, crashing fiercely against one of Xing Chen's fingers.
