Death Grip
“Demon God Step! Three Steps of Earthquake!”
Xing Chen stepped forward, his large foot carrying a chilling Demonic Aura, crashing down as if it could shatter the ground. Below, the Elder of Demon Suppression could clearly see the endless black Demonic Aura in the air, transforming into a massive foot that was ruthlessly descending upon him.
The space within dozens of miles seemed to be shattered by his step, becoming fragile as if it could break like an egg at any moment.
Boom!
Xing Chen stomped heavily on the Elder of Demon Suppression, who immediately spat out a mouthful of blood with a ‘puff’, and then shouted, “You, if you dare to kill me, the other two powerful members of my Liu Family will definitely not let you go.”
“Threatening me?” A hint of a bloodthirsty smile appeared on Xing Chen's face. He then flipped his palm, and the Hate Demon Sword coalesced once more. Without any hesitation, he swung down and severed the head of the Elder of Demon Suppression.
Subsequently, a strange light flickered in his eyes as he locked onto a transparent soul entity. A powerful suction force instantly emerged, pulling at that soul as if trying to devour it.
“Ah! Damn it... how despicable! You even refuse to spare my soul; I will fight you to the death…” The Elder of Demon Suppression roared in anger, lunging at Xing Chen. However, this was merely sending sheep into a tiger's mouth; it was a futile effort.
Xing Chen's eyes resembled black holes, instantly swallowing the soul of the Elder of Demon Suppression.
For someone like the Elder of Demon Suppression, a Half-Step Soul-Searching Realm expert, simply destroying his physical body was not enough to kill him. Only by annihilating his soul along with his body could he be considered truly dead.
Otherwise, he could easily seek out someone with high abilities like the Hate Emperor, devour their soul and occupy their body, effectively living again.
Thus, Xing Chen would never allow his soul to escape.
“Ah! You are seeking your own death! How dare you absorb my soul; I will devour your soul and occupy your body…” The Elder of Demon Suppression, drawn into Xing Chen's sea of consciousness, roared again.
“Hate Emperor, I see your soul is quite weak; here’s a little supplement for you. Don’t be polite; feel free to use it!” Xing Chen said lightly.
“Hehe, I must say you have some conscience for bringing me a soul supplement.” The Hate Emperor grinned sinisterly and then appeared before the Elder of Demon Suppression.
"His soul cannot even be devoured by me, let alone you? Do you think you have that ability? You might as well obediently become my supplement!" The Hate Emperor let out a filthy laugh again, then grinned wickedly as he slowly approached the soul of the Elder of Demon Suppression.
"Who... who are you? How did you get here?" The Elder of Demon Suppression looked at the Hate Emperor in utter astonishment.
"You are not worthy to know my name. Just obediently become my supplement!" The Hate Emperor lunged forward, and a black Demonic Aura surged instantly, enveloping the soul of the Elder of Demon Suppression completely. In just a moment, the soul of the Elder of Demon Suppression was devoured by the Hate Emperor.
"Tsk tsk, not bad. Although it's just a Half-Step Soul-Searching Realm soul, it is enough to replenish some of my Soul Power. What a pity! If only it were a powerful soul from the Gaze of Fate..." The Hate Emperor said, still unsatisfied and greedy.
"Poof..." After the Hate Emperor devoured the soul of the Elder of Demon Suppression, Xing Chen finally could not hold on any longer and spat out a mouthful of blood.
The third step of the Demon God Step he had just performed was done under overload; with his current strength, even the second step was already quite strenuous, and the third step was simply courting death.
At this moment, Xing Chen's body swayed unsteadily as if he were about to faint, but now was not the time for him to lose consciousness. He still did not know what was happening with Meng Xiner; if he fainted now, both of them would be in danger.
"Earth Escape!" Xing Chen stomped on the ground, and his figure instantly disappeared, reappearing in the Mountain Valley. Just as he manifested in the Mountain Valley, he felt a wave of dizziness wash over him, and he fainted immediately.
Before losing consciousness, he vaguely saw Meng Xiner running towards him with a worried expression, anxious for him.
"Is this kid unconscious? If I take this opportunity to devour his soul and occupy his body..." The Hate Emperor thought to himself. However, considering the Fate Jade Pendant, he hesitated to act. Who knew if that broken jade pendant would suddenly appear while he was devouring Xing Chen's soul?
If it really appeared, he would definitely die a terrible death. Moreover, there was a restriction placed on his soul by Xing Chen; although Xing Chen was currently unconscious and unable to activate this restriction, what if after Xing Chen died, those restrictions activated on their own?
"Should I swallow... or not? That is the question..." The Hate Emperor pondered in distress but could not make up his mind no matter what.
Meanwhile, outside, Meng Xiner had already taken out a Healing Elixir and given it to Xing Chen. This Healing Elixir was one of those that Xing Chen had just given her; however, she had not used them all up and now it was just right for treating Xing Chen.
"What exactly happened? How did he suddenly get so severely injured?" Meng Xiner murmured anxiously to herself, her delicate face filled with worry.
At this moment, her cultivation aura was no longer comparable to before; she had fully absorbed the power left by the Thunderfire Deity in the Thunderfire Pearl and her cultivation had skyrocketed to Half-Step Soul-Searching Realm. If it weren't for needing comprehension to break through to Gaze of Fate, she could have directly broken through to Gaze of Fate.
"If it weren't for me accepting the power of Inheritance at this moment, with his strength, even if he couldn't win, he could have easily escaped and wouldn't have suffered such serious injuries," Meng Xiner thought with a heart full of guilt.
On the other side, Hate Emperor was still hesitating whether to consume Xing Chen's soul.
"Damn it, fortune favors the bold. For his powerful physique and for my future, it's worth taking a risk," Hate Emperor gritted his teeth and suddenly lunged towards the soul of Xing Chen floating above.
Buzz!
However, just as Hate Emperor was about to make contact with Xing Chen's unconscious soul, a Black Jade Pendant suddenly appeared, blocking in front of Xing Chen. The word 'life' on it emitted a rich Black Light.
"What the hell! I knew it! I knew this damn pendant would show up to cause trouble. Why am I so unlucky?" Hate Emperor exclaimed in shock as he saw the suddenly appearing Fate Jade Pendant, quickly halting his movement and staring at it in fear.
As Hate Emperor retreated, strands of Black Light radiated from the Fate Jade Pendant, illuminating Xing Chen. The light was absorbed by Xing Chen.
As these Black Light strands were absorbed by Xing Chen, the sense of weakness that had been emanating from his soul vanished at that moment. Gradually, his soul regained vitality, and his breathing became steady.
Outside, seeing this situation, a hint of joy appeared on Meng Xiner's delicate face. She knew that since Xing Chen's breathing had stabilized, his injuries must not be serious.
"Xing Chen, how are you?" Meng Xiner gently shook Xing Chen, but he remained unconscious and couldn't hear her question.
"Damn it! I will never take risks again. If anything happens, I won't target his body anymore," Hate Emperor thought angrily.
The Fate Jade Pendant was far too dangerous and elusive. If he accidentally walked into its path, wouldn't that be seeking death?
To save his own life, Hate Emperor decided to give up on targeting Xing Chen's body. There were so many people in the world; surely there were other suitable bodies for him. It wasn't worth losing his life over a mere shell.
Time passed without him noticing, and finally, Xing Chen began to regain consciousness. He had just regained awareness and hadn't opened his eyes yet when he felt a wave of soreness and numbness throughout his body. He felt weak and experienced pain and itchiness all over—extremely uncomfortable.
"Hehe, kid, aren't you feeling great right now? This is what you get for not listening to me and insisting on using the third step of Demon God Step. It's already lucky that you didn't die," Hate Emperor chuckled maliciously.
"Can you not be so gloating? I'm in this state, and you still have the nerve to gloat," Xing Chen said resentfully.
"Hey, I'm not gloating. While you were unconscious, that girl outside took great care of you. Don't you feel happy and comfortable knowing how well she treated you?" Hate Emperor replied with a smile.
"Peat!" Xing Chen cursed under his breath, then opened his tightly shut eyes. The sudden bright light forced him to close his eyes again. After adjusting for a while, he dared to open them once more.
"You finally woke up. Next time, don't be so stubborn. If you can't win, just run! Why push yourself so hard?" Meng Xiner said, a hint of a smile on her pretty face as she looked at Xing Chen.
"Run? What would you do if I ran? Leave a woman behind and escape myself? That's something I, Xing Chen, cannot do." Xing Chen replied, "Besides, I wasn't being stubborn; I just wanted to see where my limits are."
"Alright, as long as you're not being stubborn," Meng Xiner continued to smile. She understood Xing Chen's stubborn nature very well, so she just laughed along with him and didn't say much more.
"By the way, have you fully accepted the power from the Thunderfire Pearl? Your cultivation has actually reached the Half-Step Soul-Searching Realm!" Xing Chen glanced at Meng Xiner and said.
