The Hate Emperor was filled with doubt about the power of the Soul Calming Plaque. Even when he was still the Emperor of Thunder Punishment, he had never heard of such a power.
Now, suddenly discovering that such a miraculous power existed in this world, he couldn't help but be astonished.
"This is the Soul Suppression Power, specifically targeting souls," Xing Chen said, his gaze slightly shifting. He then asked, "Why hasn't she woken up yet? Isn't it supposed to be enough to suppress that Blood Rune for her to wake up?"
"Be patient; she will wake up soon. Moreover, your Soul Suppression Power is quite remarkable. Even if we can't find the Dragon Blood Fruit and the Ice Spirit Emperor Flame, it can still keep her alive for a long time," replied the Hate Emperor.
Xing Chen's Soul Suppression Power not only suppressed that rune but also pushed the power of the Blood Curse to an extreme, making it incredibly difficult for it to absorb Meng Xiner's life essence, at least buying them half a year’s time.
"Really? Then how long can she hold on now?" Xing Chen asked with a hint of joy in his eyes.
"If she remains in a coma, nine months should be no problem. However, if she wakes up, she can only last at most five months. One hundred and fifty days, of course, if we can find the Dragon Blood Fruit and the Ice Spirit Emperor Flame, that would be another story," said the Hate Emperor.
"Alright, one hundred and fifty days is already quite good. Even if we can't find the Ice Spirit Emperor Flame during this time, we should at least be able to gather enough Dragon Blood Fruit and get out of the Nine Nether Sea Region," Xing Chen said with a glimmer in his eyes.
At that moment, in his arms, Meng Xiner's eyelids fluttered gently as she slowly opened her tightly shut eyes.
"Meng Xin'er, you’re awake?" Seeing Meng Xiner open her eyes, a look of joy instantly appeared on Xing Chen's face.
"Xing Chen? Am I not dead? I just felt like I was about to die; I was so scared, really scared..." Meng Xiner looked at Xing Chen, momentarily stunned before burying her head into his embrace and crying.
"It's alright, it's alright. As long as I'm here, you will definitely be safe," Xing Chen gently stroked Meng Xiner's hair and spoke softly.
“Xing Chen, are we still in Underworld Abyss?” After a while, Meng Xiner stopped crying and looked up at Xing Chen with tear-filled eyes.
“We are almost out of Underworld Abyss. In about an hour, we will enter the Nine Nether Sea Region,” Xing Chen replied.
“Are you hurt? So many people attacked you at once; you must have been seriously injured, right?” Meng Xiner looked at Xing Chen with concern.
Before she lost consciousness, she had seen many powerful figures blocking Xing Chen. Although Xing Chen had unleashed tremendous power at that time, facing so many opponents head-on surely came with a cost.
“I’m fine, I’m fine, Meng Xin'er. Do you feel any discomfort in your body?” Xing Chen shook his head and then looked at Meng Xiner, his eyes showing a hint of hidden worry.
“No, I just feel a bit dizzy; there’s nothing else wrong,” Meng Xiner said, slightly furrowing her brows before speaking.
“That’s good to hear, that’s good…” Xing Chen sighed in relief. Although he was aware of Meng Xiner's condition, he didn’t want to put too much pressure on her. Therefore, it might not be a bad thing that she hadn’t noticed her own Hundred-Day Blood Curse.
“Child, she is lying to you. She must already know about her condition but doesn’t want to worry you, which is why she hasn’t mentioned it,” suddenly the voice of Hate Emperor echoed in Xing Chen’s mind. His words caused a slight pain in Xing Chen’s heart, but he chose not to dwell on it. Since both of them wanted to keep this matter hidden from each other, it was better to continue concealing it.
“Xing Chen, how long until we can return to the Eastern Region? I really want to go back and take a look,” Meng Xiner said as she gazed at Xing Chen, a hint of sadness appearing in her eyes.
She was well aware of her own body; she could clearly feel the presence of the Hundred-Day Blood Curse. She knew her time was limited, but she didn’t want Xing Chen to be sad alongside her. Thus, she planned to keep this matter buried in her heart until the very last moment.
“It will be soon. I will take you back to the Eastern Region quickly. Once we return and eliminate the Demon Sect, I will take you around the world so you can relax and enjoy yourself,” Xing Chen said as he looked into the distance.
“Okay, I believe that day will come soon,” Meng Xiner replied, a beautiful smile appearing on her lovely face.
As they spoke, the two of them were getting closer to the edge of the Underworld Abyss. Once they left the Underworld Abyss, they would enter the Nine Nether Sea Region. If they could find the Underworld Blood Fruit in the Nine Nether Sea Region, then Meng Xiner's Hundred-Day Blood Curse could be delayed for a while longer.
"Hate Emperor, your Dragon Blood Fruit is occupied by a major force in the Nine Nether Sea Region. What kind of force is it?" Soon, Xing Chen and Meng Xiner had left the Underworld Abyss and arrived at the Nine Nether Sea Region, which was much better than the dark and gloomy Underworld Abyss.
The Underworld Abyss was a place devoid of sunlight, while in the Nine Nether Sea Region, although there was still an eerie feeling, one could see the sun above and breathe fresh air.
"That force is called the Dragon Blood Palace. Every disciple within it has undergone body refinement and possesses immense strength. They can even transform into a half-dragon form, greatly increasing their power. This is all due to the effects of consuming Dragon Blood Fruit," Hate Emperor said slowly.
Xing Chen also gained some understanding of the Dragon Blood Palace. This force was established during Ancient Times by someone known as the Dragon Blood Sovereign. It was possible that this Dragon Blood Sovereign was still alive today because he wisely chose to avoid battle during his confrontation with Punishment, thus escaping that great calamity.
With his Divine Lord cultivation level, living for tens of thousands of years should not be a problem. Moreover, Dragon Blood Fruit also has the effects of replenishing essence and extending lifespan. If nothing major happened after Punishment's incident, then the Dragon Blood Sovereign would definitely still be alive and might even have broken through to become the Emperor of Thunder Punishment.
"Dragon Blood Sovereign? I don't care if he is a Divine Lord or an Emperor of Thunder Punishment; I must obtain Dragon Blood Fruit," a fierce look flashed in Xing Chen's eyes.
"Child, you cannot be reckless this time. Even if you don't think about yourself, you should consider your beloved. What will happen to her if you die? Therefore, you absolutely cannot act rashly this time; you must use your wits," Hate Emperor reminded him.
"Use my wits? How do I do that?" Xing Chen raised an eyebrow and asked. He had always relied on his own powerful strength to accomplish what he wanted and had never thought about using cunning methods. Now that he was suddenly asked to change his approach, he truly did not know how to proceed.
"It's simple. First infiltrate the Dragon Blood Palace, then slowly plot for the Dragon Blood Fruit. The most important thing is that you must not be impatient; otherwise, you may end up failing," Hate Emperor said.
"Take it slow? Do you think I have time to take it slow? If I delay even a moment, Meng Xiner will be in even more danger. I cannot afford to waste time on this matter; I must obtain Dragon Blood Fruit as soon as possible, and it has to be a large quantity," Xing Chen's expression turned cold. What he lacked most right now was patience. Normally, if he could endure a little longer, it would pass; but at this moment, he absolutely could not afford any delays; otherwise, whether Meng Xiner's life could be saved was uncertain.
"Xing Chen, what's wrong with you?" Just as Xing Chen's expression grew cold, Meng Xiner in his arms suddenly looked up at him and asked.
"Don't worry, Meng Xin'er, we might have to delay a bit longer in the Nine Nether Sea Region this time." Xing Chen shook his head first, then glanced apologetically at Meng Xin'er.
"It's fine, you don't need to rush. It won't make much difference if we wait a little longer. Once your strength increases and you return to the Eastern Region, you will definitely be able to destroy the Demon Sect," Meng Xin'er said with a pure and adorable smile on her face.
"Meng Xin'er, rest assured it won't take too long. At most, it will be a month. After a month, everything here will definitely be resolved," Xing Chen replied.
"Are you crazy? That's the Dragon Blood Palace, which is guarded by Divine Lords and even the Emperor of Thunder Punishment! It's even more terrifying than the Underworld Palace. If you want to confront the Dragon Blood Palace head-on, you might as well return to the Underworld Palace and seize their Underworld Blood Fruit!" Hate Emperor shouted.
"No matter what method I have to use, I must obtain enough Dragon Blood Fruit within a month. Then I have two months to reach the Hate Sea Region, find your Inheritance, and accept your power. After that, I will look for the Ice Spirit Emperor Flame or directly attack the Underworld Palace to seize the Underworld Blood Fruit. I have no other choice; I absolutely won't allow anything to happen to Meng Xin'er," Xing Chen said, clenching his fists slightly and speaking firmly.
"Sigh..." Hate Emperor sighed and then seemed to suddenly remember something, asking loudly, "By the way, have you learned the Ming Seven Styles? If you really have learned it, then there might still be hope for obtaining the Dragon Blood Fruit."
The Ming Seven Styles are Punishment's unique skills. When they were in the Underworld Abyss, Hate Emperor personally witnessed Xing Chen using Shatter the Netherworld and condensing the Spear of Punishment. These two techniques undoubtedly indicated that Xing Chen had received true teachings from Punishment.
"Ming Seven Styles? I can indeed use them, but that's only when the Fate Jade Pendant appears; otherwise, I can't use them regularly," Xing Chen said with a slight frown.
"What a pity! If only you could use Ming Seven Styles anytime and anywhere. Even if you can't obtain the Dragon Blood Fruit, you could still extend the activation time of your Hundred-Day Blood Curse for your beloved," Hate Emperor shook his head and sighed.
