Death Grip
"Forget it, if you don't want to talk, I won't ask. But you'd better not keep daydreaming; people might mistake you for a fool," Meng Xiner said.
"Come on, stop mocking me. I'll be honest with you: I actually think you're beautiful, so I've been trying to figure out how to make you pledge yourself to me. Before I knew it, I got lost in my thoughts," Xing Chen said, a hint of mischief flashing in his eyes as he looked at Meng Xiner.
"You... you..." Meng Xiner's face turned crimson from his words, unsure whether she was angry or embarrassed.
Then, a look of embarrassment and anger crossed his face. Suddenly, he stomped his foot, causing the entire island to tremble. Xing Chen lost his balance and fell to the ground, while Meng Xiner slightly raised her hand, scattering some transparent powder onto Xing Chen.
"Enjoy yourself here; I'm not staying," Meng Xiner said, her face flushed as she tore through space and left.
"Hey, hey, are you just going to leave me like this? At least give me the antidote first!" Xing Chen shouted in despair.
"Hehe, don't worry; she hasn't really left. It's just that your sudden confession scared her; she just needed to hide for a moment," Hate Emperor chuckled.
"I know she just needed to hide, but the key issue is that she sprinkled itching powder on me, and now I..." Xing Chen said, nearly in tears as the effects of the powder began to kick in.
"Damn it, I'm so itchy! I'm so itchy..." Xing Chen yelled while scratching himself incessantly.
"This itching powder is easy to deal with; all you have to do is jump into the river, and you'll instantly stop feeling itchy," Hate Emperor said gleefully.
Upon hearing Hate Emperor's words, Xing Chen sprinted toward the river at full speed. As he ran, he secretly cursed himself for coming this far and for teasing Meng Xiner; now he was facing the consequences.
"I truly sympathize with you. If you really marry a wife like that, just imagine what your future life will be like," Hate Emperor continued to gloat.
"Damn it, stop with your sarcastic comments! Do you find joy in my misfortune? Can we still have fun together in the future?" Xing Chen angrily retorted.
"First, ensure your own safety before you can play happily. You could die at any moment in her hands. I didn't expect that girl to look so cute, yet she's completely ruthless when she acts." Hate Emperor was not at all intimidated by Xing Chen's threat.
At that moment, Xing Chen finally reached the riverbank and jumped in. As the river water soaked his body, the itchy sensation diminished significantly. However, moments later, an even more intense itch spread throughout him.
"Damn it, Hate Emperor, what kind of ridiculous idea is this? It's worse than before!" Xing Chen was on the verge of tears. Although he had been quite itchy earlier, he could still endure it. But now, that itchiness had increased hundreds of times, nearly driving him to the brink of collapse.
"Wait a minute, this doesn't make sense. I've seen itching powder before; it should wash away with water. Why is yours not only ineffective but even worse?" Hate Emperor was also taken aback; this situation caught him off guard.
"Peat, do you think this is ordinary itching powder? This has been modified by Meng Xiner! You're going to get me killed!" Xing Chen finally couldn't hold back and started cursing.
"Hmph, the itching powder I modified isn't something that can just be washed away easily. The more you wash it, the deeper it penetrates your body. Soon, it won't just be surface-level itching; it'll be an itch that goes deep into your bones," Meng Xiner observed from the shadows. Seeing Xing Chen jump into the river, she couldn't help but scoff.
"Uh, uh... you should get back on shore first. I've noticed that the itching powder seems to be moving towards your bones. It won't just be surface-level itching anymore..." Hate Emperor's powerful Soul Power quickly sensed the movement of the itching powder and spoke up.
"Hate Emperor, I'm going to kill you!" Xing Chen roared, his eyes turning blood-red in an instant. Then a Demonic Aura surged from him as he attempted to force the itching powder out using his powerful Demonic Aura.
"This is bad; he can't use Demonic Aura right now or he'll explode!" Meng Xiner's expression changed slightly upon seeing Xing Chen's surging Demonic Aura. She quickly flickered and appeared above him. Then her fair hand swiftly descended to suppress Xing Chen's raging Demonic Aura. With a wave of her hand, an invisible powder appeared in the air and fell onto Xing Chen.
Instantly, that bone-deep itch disappeared, and Xing Chen weakly collapsed into Meng Xiner's arms.
"Xing Chen, Xing Chen, don't scare me! How are you? I promise I won't mess with you again; please don't scare me!" Seeing Xing Chen looking like he was about to die, Meng Xiner's face showed a hint of anxiety.
"Come on, you're acting too well! Aren't you afraid of making her suspicious or being found out? That would be disastrous for you," Hate Emperor looked at Xing Chen with disdain.
"Damn it! If it weren't for you, would I be in this situation? And now you're still being sarcastic," Xing Chen retorted angrily.
"Uh..." Hate Emperor was left speechless by Xing Chen's response and could only remain silent.
"Xing Chen, how are you? Speak!" Meng Xiner looked at the weak Xing Chen in her arms, almost crying in urgency.
"I'm... I'm fine..." Xing Chen said weakly.
His acting truly impressed Hate Emperor. Hate Emperor thought to himself that if it were purely about acting skills, Xing Chen could easily outshine him by several streets.
Boom!
At that moment, the entire island suddenly shook. No, it wasn't just the island; the surrounding space and even the Nine Heavens Sea trembled at that instant.
The surrounding Vital Energy surged violently, the ground shook violently, and a chasm dozens of meters wide and thousands of feet deep suddenly appeared.
The river was also cut off by this suddenly emerging chasm. Xing Chen and Meng Xiner exchanged glances and looked towards the horizon. This situation was definitely abnormal. Shaking the island or even causing its collapse was not difficult; Meng Xiner could do that. But shaking the entire Nine Heavens Sea was another matter entirely. Perhaps even a strong figure from the Spirit Void Realm couldn't achieve that; only someone at the level of the Emperor of Thunder Punishment could do so.
However, there was no way an Emperor of Hate could be in the sea right now. All the Emperor of Thunder Punishment were engaged in battle with Punishment, and many had been killed by Punishment.
"What on earth is happening?" Xing Chen looked into the sky but saw nothing. The power of Meng Xiner Gaze into the Self also revealed nothing, leaving Xing Chen utterly shocked.
Could it be that the cause of this tremor was outside the Nine Heavens Sea? But how powerful would someone have to be to create such a tremor outside the Nine Heavens Sea?
"Quick, absorb my power; I will help you open the Hate Demon Eye!" Suddenly, Hate Emperor's voice echoed in Xing Chen's mind. Hate Emperor sensed keenly that this matter was definitely not simple and contained many secrets.
Upon hearing Hate Emperor's words, Xing Chen immediately absorbed the powerful Soul Power from Hate Emperor. His eyes then emitted a faint demonic light, within which two clusters of Demonic Flame flickered slowly.
At that moment, his gaze pierced through layers of space and saw events happening tens of millions of miles away. There, a powerful demon with a surging Demonic Aura was engaged in fierce combat with countless strong beings. Strangely, Xing Chen felt a sense of familiarity with this demon. Suddenly, he remembered that this demon was the one who had emerged from the Demon Suppression Cave during their time on Nebula Island, known as the Grasping Demon Hand.
"Is it really him? How did he escape from the Demon Suppression Cave?" Xing Chen exclaimed in surprise.
Due to the blessing of the Hate Emperor and Soul Power, he almost instantly discerned the realm of that demon. This demon was a powerful Spirit Void Realm expert who could rival the Divine Lord, and only a top-tier Divine Lord could barely contend with him. This demon was indeed the first under the Emperor of Thunder Punishment.
"Ten Thousand Dragon Palace!"
Xing Chen's gaze shifted, and he immediately saw a massive palace with the four characters "Ten Thousand Dragon Palace" shining brightly. At that moment, Xing Chen finally understood where this place was. It was the very center of the sea region, controlled by the only lord of the sea, Wanlong Jun. This sea area was not large, consisting of only one island, which was Wanlong Island, where the Ten Thousand Dragon Palace stood.
"What an arrogant demon to dare to cause a ruckus at the Ten Thousand Dragon Palace! Could it be that this demon is after the Dragon Ball?" The Hate Emperor also saw the situation there through Xing Chen's eyes and was immediately shocked.
"That's not right. Although this demon is powerful, it shouldn't be able to cause such tremors from tens of thousands of miles away. The recent tremors must have another cause," Xing Chen said sharply.
Even a Divine Lord would absolutely not be able to create such tremors from tens of thousands of miles away.
"I understand now; it must be the Dragon Ball. The demon's goal is the Dragon Ball. He must have used some method to invoke the supreme power of the Dragon Ball, which caused the entire sea region to tremble. After all, the Dragon Ball is a treasure that suppresses the fortune of the sea region. When the Dragon Ball trembles, the entire sea region will shake," the Hate Emperor suddenly said.
As the number one treasure in the sea region, the Dragon Ball was naturally enshrined in the Ten Thousand Dragon Palace. The purpose of this demon's visit was also clear: he came for the Dragon Ball. Therefore, it must be that this demon unknowingly used some secret method to trigger the tremors of the Dragon Ball.
"It seems that the Dragon Ball is really about to emerge. The prophecy from Ancient Times is truly about to come true, and the Strongest Inheritance will definitely appear soon."
