“Underworld Blood Fruit? What is that? We've never even heard of it. How can you expect us to help you steal it?” Zhenque gritted his teeth.
“That’s your problem. I’m giving you one year. Within a year, I want to see the Underworld Blood Fruit. Otherwise, I guarantee your fate will be very, very miserable.” Xing Chen looked at Zhenque and the others, his voice cold.
Then he vanished in a flash, leaving this place. The Underworld Abyss held no meaning for him anymore; what he needed to do now was to break the Hundred-Day Blood Curse on Meng Xiner.
“Underworld Palace, Blood Fiend Hall, Bloodless... Once I accept the Inheritance of the Hate Emperor, I will definitely come back to settle accounts with you.” The killing intent flickered in Xing Chen's eyes. What he needed to do now was to traverse the void and head to the Hate Sea Region. He had no mood to deal with the matters of the Underworld Abyss for now, after all, they could only give him one year.
“Child, to delay the complete eruption of the Hundred-Day Blood Curse, you must find two things. The first is the Dragon Blood Fruit. The Dragon Blood Fruit is a unique treasure of the Nine Nether Sea Region, said to be formed from the divine blood of the Divine Dragon that dripped down and was absorbed by the Dragon Blood Vine. This item can replace what is absorbed by the Blood Dragon that is nurtured by the Hundred-Day Blood Curse. As long as enough Dragon Blood Fruits are found, she will temporarily not be devoured by the Underworld Blood Dragon, losing her life essence.”
“The other item is ranked in the top ten of the Divine Flame Rankings, the Ice Spirit Emperor Flame. The Ice Spirit Emperor Flame possesses extraordinary cold power and can freeze everything in its path. It was originally possessed by the Ice Snow Sovereign, but after her death, it returned to the earth. Finding it is very difficult, and I cannot even be sure if it exists in the sea.”
The Hate Emperor slowly spoke, explaining to Xing Chen how to suppress the eruption of the Hundred-Day Blood Curse.
“Dragon Blood Fruit, Ice Spirit Emperor Flame?” Xing Chen frowned slightly. If it were just the Dragon Blood Fruit, that would be fine; after all, he would pass through the Nine Nether Sea Region on his way to the Hate Sea Region, so picking some should not be a big problem.
However, finding the Ice Spirit Emperor Flame would be difficult since he didn't even know its specific location. It would be like searching for a needle in a haystack.
“The Dragon Blood Fruit should be manageable. Although it is occupied by a major force in the Nine Nether Sea Region, obtaining some should still be possible. But this Ice Spirit Emperor Flame is another story,” said the Hate Emperor, shaking his head with a sigh.
“Could it be in the inheritance of the Ice Snow Sovereign?” asked Xing Chen, raising an eyebrow.
“Impossible. The Ice Spirit Emperor Flame, as one of the top ten divine flames, has almost developed its own intelligence. Such an existence would never be sealed within an inheritance site; even the Emperor of Thunder Punishment could not seal it,” replied the Hate Emperor, shaking his head.
“I still don’t understand one thing: isn’t the Ice Snow Imperial Seal inside Meng Xiner? Why didn’t it show any intention of protecting her when she was attacked by the Blood Fiend Hall Master?” asked Xing Chen, glancing at Meng Xiner in his arms, his gaze flickering slightly.
“It should be due to a mismatch in their cultivation attributes; therefore, it wouldn’t automatically protect her unless forced like what happened with that Jiaolong Emperor,” said the Hate Emperor.
The Ice Snow Imperial Seal was originally placed inside Meng Xiner by Punishment. Logically speaking, it shouldn’t have been oblivious to this fact. However, it indeed did not come out to protect its master, which would likely confuse even if Punishment were to appear again.
“So that’s how it is. I won’t worry about anything else for now; I just want to know if there’s any way to wake up Meng Xiner,” said Xing Chen, taking a deep breath.
At this moment, due to the suppression of the Hundred-Day Blood Curse, Meng Xiner remained unconscious with no signs of waking up at all, causing concern in Xing Chen’s heart.
“I suggest it’s better not to let her wake up because once she does, her body will suffer more strain, and we will have much less time to delay the eruption of the Hundred-Day Blood Curse,” said the Hate Emperor.
At this moment, Meng Xiner is in a coma, which means her body is not consuming energy, allowing her to resist the erosion of the Hundred-Day Blood Curse for a much longer time.
The Hundred-Day Blood Curse is different from other things; it is not something that can be delayed by using energy to resist it. Instead, the more energy you use to resist it, the faster it will take effect.
Even without a hundred days, Meng Xiner's life essence within her body would be completely devoured by this blood curse, and the Blood Dragon she is nurturing inside would burst out directly.
Therefore, the best solution is for her not to wake up, as this will reduce the consumption of her body and delay the onset of the Hundred-Day Blood Curse significantly.
"What if I want her to wake up?" Xing Chen asked.
"Then her life essence will be rapidly consumed, and she may not even last a hundred days. Even if you find the Dragon Blood Fruit and Ice Spirit Emperor Flame, it will be the same," Hate Emperor replied.
"Are we just going to let her sleep like this?" Xing Chen gritted his teeth. If he could, he would want to wake Meng Xiner up, but thinking of Hate Emperor's words made him hesitate again.
"For now, that's all we can do. After all, without obtaining the Underworld Blood Fruit, the Hundred-Day Blood Curse cannot be resolved. It is indeed not a good thing for her to wake up right now. I advise you to find a secluded place to keep her safe while you search for the Dragon Blood Fruit and Ice Spirit Emperor Flame and accept my Inheritance," Hate Emperor said.
"No, I want to take her with me. I can't seal her away alone. I want her to wake up. If her life essence is insufficient, I'll use mine to compensate. No matter what, I won't let her live like a vegetable," Xing Chen said after pondering for a moment, his face showing determination. He then spoke: "Hate Emperor, tell me how to wake her up."
"Alright, you see the Blood Rune on her forehead? As long as you use your power to suppress the rune, she can wake up. However, with your strength, it’s impossible to suppress the Blood Rune for long—at most a month—and during this time, the effects of the Hundred-Day Blood Curse will still exist," Hate Emperor explained.
"I understand!" Xing Chen said as he slightly raised his palm. Then, a faint Black Light emanated from his hand and pressed down towards the Blood Rune on Meng Xiner's forehead.
Buzz!
As Xing Chen's palm pressed down, the Blood Rune trembled slightly. Suddenly, a dense blood light erupted fiercely, clashing against the Black Light emitted from Xing Chen's palm.
"Hmm?" Xing Chen raised an eyebrow and was about to increase his strength when he suddenly heard Hate Emperor's voice in his mind: "Do not exert yourself too much; your companion's body is currently weak. If you push too hard, it could cause her physical body to collapse and lead to immediate death."
"What should I do then? Should I just let it drag on like this? And if it continues like this, I won’t be able to suppress this Blood Rune either," Xing Chen said with a frown.
"You cannot let it drag on; absolutely not! Quickly withdraw your power! The Blood Rune is currently absorbing Meng Xiner's life essence to counteract you. If you continue depleting your energy, your companion will definitely be the first to die," Hate Emperor shouted.
"Damn it! Why didn’t you say this earlier?" Hearing Hate Emperor's words, Xing Chen's expression changed dramatically. He quickly retracted the magic light in his hand at that moment, and simultaneously, the Blood Rune on Meng Xiner's forehead stopped emitting its blood-colored glow.
"This... I only just discovered this myself. I underestimated the power of this Blood Rune; I didn't expect it could slightly resist you," Hate Emperor said somewhat apologetically.
"Stop talking nonsense! Tell me what we should do now!" Xing Chen exploded with rage; this was his first time being so angry. Aside from that one time he encountered a Spatial Storm in the void, he had never been this furious before.
"You make me think, after all, the power of the Hundred-Day Blood Curse is really too strong. I can't figure out a way to solve it right now!" the Hate Emperor complained.
Meanwhile, Xing Chen was waiting angrily for the Hate Emperor's solution. At this moment, Xing Chen, along with Meng Xiner, was about to fly out of Underworld Island. Along the way, no one tried to stop them. After all, the Palace Master of the Ten Halls had already witnessed Xing Chen's strength. As long as Xing Chen didn't cause trouble for them, they were grateful and certainly wouldn't try to intercept him.
"Got it! The Blood Dragon birthed by the Hundred-Day Blood Curse hasn't yet solidified into a physical form; it still belongs to the Yin Soul Ghostly Entity type. As long as you can use the Seal recorded in the Soul Devourer and Soul Devouring Refinement Technique, you will definitely be able to seal this thing," the Hate Emperor suddenly exclaimed.
"The Yin Soul Ghostly Entity?" Xing Chen's eyes flickered slightly, and then two silver glimmers flashed in his eyes as a voice echoed through the void.
"Bewitched by Immortals, Buddhas, and Spirits, Plaque of the Underworld!"
When it comes to dealing with the Yin Soul Ghostly Entity, the Soul Suppression Power contained within the Plaque is definitely more effective than the Soul Devouring Refinement Technique. Therefore, Xing Chen directly utilized the Soul Suppression Power from the Plaque.
With Xing Chen's current strength, any Yin Soul Ghostly Entity below Glimpse of Objects could be suppressed in an instant. Even a powerful Yin Soul Ghostly Entity at Glimpse of Objects would surely suffer greatly due to the power of the Plaque.
At this moment, as the Soul Suppression Power was unleashed, two silver beams shot toward the Blood Rune. Although the Blood Rune continued to emit a dense blood light to resist Xing Chen's attack, it had no effect and was almost instantly suppressed by the Soul Suppression Power.
As the Silver Light faded away, the Blood Rune slowly disappeared from Meng Xiner's forehead. At that same moment, the Hate Emperor shouted excitedly, "What on earth is this? This power is incredibly strong; it seems specifically designed to counter Underworld Demon Lords and Yin Soul Ghostly Entities. What kind of power is this?"
