Death Grip
Three hours quickly passed, and early on the third day, Xing Chen and Meng Xiner left the Underworld Temple and headed towards the Underworld Abyss.
Although the Underworld Abyss was one of the ten trial grounds of the Underworld Palace, it did not prohibit others from entering. At this moment, Xing Chen and Meng Xiner were entering the Underworld Abyss under different identities.
“Xing Chen, what do you plan to do? What if you can't find what you're looking for? Will you still join the Underworld Temple or the Underworld Palace?”
“No, if I can't find it, then that's it. I'm only looking this time. If I find it, it's my good luck; if not, we'll go to the Hate Sea Region,” Xing Chen replied with a smile.
He didn't want Meng Xiner to worry about him, so he decided that after this trip, he would leave the Underworld Abyss and head to the Hate Sea Region to find the Hate Emperor's Inheritance and return to the Eastern Region.
“Okay, then let's hurry!” A hint of joy appeared on Meng Xiner's delicate face.
“Alright!” Xing Chen nodded, unconsciously increasing his pace.
“Son, let me remind you, if the Underworld Abyss is indeed a passage to the Nine Nether Underworld, we must leave there immediately and not stay longer,” the Hate Emperor said with a serious tone.
“Understood,” Xing Chen nodded. If that place was truly a passage to the Nine Nether Underworld, then even if his strength increased dozens of times, it would still be a one-way trip. After all, how terrifying was the Nine Nether Underworld? How powerful were its demons? If he really stayed there, he would definitely be facing death.
Soon, Meng Xiner and Xing Chen arrived at the Underworld Abyss. An eerie Demonic Aura continuously emanated from within. Xing Chen was unfazed by it, but Meng Xiner couldn't help but shiver involuntarily.
“Are you alright?” Xing Chen grasped Meng Xiner's hand and asked.
“I’m fine; let’s go in!” Meng Xiner gently shook her head and said softly.
Inside the Underworld Abyss, endless dark light radiated as if it were a black hole capable of swallowing everything. As Xing Chen and Meng Xiner delved deeper into it, an extremely fierce aura spread around them, making them feel uncomfortable all over.
Woo woo woo—
A chilling wind continuously swept through, like sharp blades cutting into Xing Chen and Meng Xiner. Xing Chen was relatively unaffected; with a slight activation of the Hate Demon Body, he could counteract this force. However, Meng Xiner was different. She had not originally practiced demonic techniques, and after receiving the Inheritance from the Thunderfire Deity, she had switched to the Punishment Classic, a genuine Thunderbolt Technique, which was exactly countered by this Demonic Aura. Now, in the eerie Underworld Abyss filled with Demonic Aura, not only was her strength restricted, but her defenses were also significantly weakened.
At that moment, Meng Xiner slightly opened her mouth, and the Thunderfire Pearl instantly appeared, creating a purple-red barrier that enveloped both Xing Chen and Meng Xiner.
"Child, quickly let her remove the defense; otherwise, you will become prime targets for the demons. Moreover, that wind just now is not an ordinary wind; it is from the Nine Nether Phoenix, a wind from the underworld. If you absorb it, there will be great benefits. There is an eighty percent chance that this is a passage to the underworld; focus your mind," spoke the Hate Emperor.
"Meng Xiner, stop using the Thunderfire Divine Shield; otherwise, we will be surrounded by demons. I will protect you," Xing Chen said as he glanced at Meng Xiner.
"Okay." Meng Xiner nodded and retracted the Thunderfire Pearl and Thunderfire Divine Shield. Subsequently, a Black Radiance flickered around Xing Chen and instantly covered both of them. When that intense chilling wind blew toward them, Meng Xiner no longer felt uncomfortable.
At this moment, Xing Chen's Hate Demon Body was actively absorbing the surrounding Nine Nether Ghost Wind and boundless Demonic Aura. Once these Demonic Auras entered his body, they were compressed and condensed, making the Demonic Aura within him increasingly refined.
"Roar..."
Suddenly, a massive roar echoed through the air as boundless Demonic Aura surged forth. A demon shrouded in black mist charged toward Xing Chen and Meng Xiner; this demon had been attracted by the light emitted from Meng Xiner's Thunderfire Pearl.
This was a powerful demon that had reached Gaze into the Self. Xing Chen and Meng Xiner had inadvertently drawn its attention, and now this demon naturally intended to give them a hard time.
"Underworld Demon Claw!"
The demon extended its pitch-black claws and swiped at Xing Chen and Meng Xiner. The immense power tore through space directly, generating an even stronger Demon Wind. Countless Demonic Auras coalesced on its sharp claws.
As this claw came crashing down fiercely, it caused the space around Xing Chen to tear apart inch by inch and collapse. His expression grew serious as he also reached out with a claw.
"God-Slaying Demon Claw!"
His palm radiated a ghostly demonic light; within that glow seemed to be the power of ancient demon gods reappearing in the world. As the power of the demon god manifested, the air emitted a piercing whistle sound. Centered around that demon, hundreds of meters of space began to collapse and shatter; even Gaze into the Self could not withstand the immense force generated by the collapsing space.
Boom!
As the two collided, a loud roar echoed, and the demon was instantly sent flying, while Xing Chen's body trembled slightly. Immediately, a cold light flickered in his eyes as he pointed out repeatedly. An endless Demonic Aura gathered in the air, and a gigantic finger slowly materialized. The immense power shook the ground, annihilating the Cosmos!
"Is this a mountain range?" After piercing this demon with a finger and taking its Demon Core, Xing Chen looked down at the mountain range below in surprise. He did not expect to find such a massive mountain range in the Underworld Abyss.
"Yes, it is indeed a mountain range. If I am not mistaken, this mountain range suppresses the passage to the Nine Nether Underworld. Although the passage from the Nine Nether Underworld to here has loosened, only some demons of lesser strength have escaped. If a demon above the Spirit Void Realm truly appears, they could instantly break this seal and release the passage connecting to the Nine Heads of the Underworld," said Hate Emperor.
"What should I do then? Continue hunting demons or search for the Extreme Evil Demon Stone?" Xing Chen asked in confusion.
"Do both simultaneously: hunt demons while searching for the Extreme Evil Demon Stone," Hate Emperor replied.
"Alright!" Xing Chen nodded and then looked at Meng Xiner, saying, "You keep this Demon Core for now; I will continue hunting demons."
After Xing Chen finished speaking, his Demonic Aura surged violently. With a single step, he floated in mid-air, his powerful demonic might overwhelming the Eight Desolations.
"Demon God Step: One step shocks all beings! Two steps shatter mountains and rivers! Three steps shake the earth!" As Xing Chen hovered in mid-air, he stomped down three times in succession. The entire mountain range trembled at that moment; within hundreds of miles, any demon caught in his Gaze of Fate was instantly killed by this powerful backlash.
Then, a ghostly demonic light flickered in Xing Chen's eyes as Demonic Flames danced within them. Those demons that had been killed could not escape his gaze. He then reached out with his hand, and countless Demon Cores were drawn into his grasp.
"So strong!" Meng Xiner below exclaimed in shock.
She had always known that Xing Chen was powerful but never expected him to reach such a level. At this moment, even if he faced a strong opponent from Gaze of Life, he might not necessarily lose.
"Meng Xin'er, help me collect these," Xing Chen waved his hand, and numerous Demon Cores appeared beside Meng Xiner. At the same time, his voice echoed in her ears.
Meng Xiner was slightly taken aback but quickly collected all these Demon Cores into her Thunderfire Divine Ring. Meanwhile, Xing Chen made another move; he pointed forward with one hand, and a massive Demonic Finger instantly condensed and struck down fiercely. With his other hand, he slammed down with great force using God-Slaying Demon Claw. The tremendous power split the earth in two, creating a chasm thousands of meters wide and tens of thousands of meters deep.
Countless demons fell into the fray, and with the strike of the Hate Demon Finger, they were all killed with a single touch. Most of these demons were powerful beings at the Half-Step Soul-Searching Realm who had been injured but not killed under Xing Chen's earlier attack. A small portion had reached the Gaze into the Self stage. However, at this moment, regardless of their realm, all were slain by a single finger from Xing Chen.
In just a short while, these demons had been slaughtered by Xing Chen in numbers exceeding thousands. At this time, some powerful demons finally arrived—several demons at the Gaze of Life stage appeared directly in front of Xing Chen, their formidable aura surging toward him.
They began to chatter in a language that Xing Chen could not understand; it was the language of the Nine Nether Underworld.
"They are asking why you are slaughtering them," the Hate Emperor acted as a translator.
"Obviously because I need their power," Xing Chen replied with a cold smile, though the demons could not comprehend his words either.
"You must not be from the Underworld Palace, right? There is no need for us to fight. Your strength is impressive, and we admire it. If you leave now, we can overlook what just happened," a sudden wave of spiritual energy came forth, and Xing Chen could sense its meaning. After all, even if their prophecies differed, the essence of their souls remained the same.
"It's not impossible for me to leave; just give me a high-grade Extreme Evil Demon Stone, and I will turn around and leave without killing you," Xing Chen's soul slightly fluctuated as he conveyed his intent.
"Impossible! The Extreme Evil Demon Stone is our sacred object and cannot be easily given to you. If you intend to target the Extreme Evil Demon Stone, we will never let you go," one of the demons expressed anger through his spiritual wave. Clearly, Xing Chen's words had touched a nerve and infuriated him.
"What does he mean? How can the Extreme Evil Demon Stone be their sacred object?" Xing Chen asked in confusion.
"They are indeed correct; the Extreme Evil Demon Stone is their sacred object. It is akin to our ancestral spirit tablets that we humans worship; it absolutely cannot be given to others," the Hate Emperor pondered for a moment before responding.
