Death Grip
"By the way, is there a place in the Wind Mountain Range where I can consolidate my cultivation?" Xing Chen suddenly glanced at Xue and asked.
"I don't know," Xue turned her head away and huffed.
Xing Chen had just been so disrespectful to her, even fighting with her, so naturally, she wouldn't tell Xing Chen about any places for training.
"Haha, how's it going? Are you dumbfounded? This woman shouldn't be messed with; they hold grudges like no other. You offended her so badly before, and now you want to ask her a question? She won't just tell you easily," Hate Emperor said gleefully.
"Can you not gloat?" Although Xing Chen was almost used to Hate Emperor's schadenfreude, he still couldn't help but want to curse him.
"I can't help it; you were too harsh on her before. However, you could let your friend try talking to her; she seems to have a good impression of your friend," Hate Emperor said, suppressing his laughter.
"Snow Sister, if you know, please tell Xing Chen. His time is tight," Meng Xiner looked at Xue with a hint of pleading in her eyes.
"Since it's for Meng Xin'er, I won't hold it against you this time. If you really want to consolidate your cultivation, go to the Lianyao Tower!” Xue huffed and said to Xing Chen with annoyance, “The Lianyao Tower is located in the center of the Dragon Blood Palace. It holds countless beasts and is the best place for training as well as consolidating your cultivation. However, I must remind you that it is very dangerous inside. You not only have to be wary of powerful beasts but also of other disciples from the Dragon Blood Palace."
"Thank you for the information, Senior Sister. During my absence, please take care of Meng Xin'er," Xing Chen cupped his fists at her. Although his tone remained cold, it was relatively polite.
"Here’s the Wind Token, which proves your identity as a disciple of our master. Also, it seems that Third Senior Sister has gone to the Lianyao Tower. If you encounter her, this token will react. At that time, being with Third Senior Sister will surely keep you safe," Xue said pleasantly as she handed a light blue token to Xing Chen.
It seemed that if Xing Chen's performance didn't satisfy her, she might not give him this token.
"Thank you for the reminder, Sister Xue. I will be careful," Xing Chen replied and then stepped forward, instantly disappearing before Xue and Meng Xiner.
"Snow Sister, will Xing Chen be in danger? Is the Lianyao Tower really that terrifying?" Meng Xiner asked worriedly as she watched Xing Chen leave.
"It’s not just terrifying; it’s like the Nine Nether Hell. Over tens of thousands of years, countless powerful beasts have been imprisoned in the Lianyao Tower. Even experts from the Glimpse of Objects cannot guarantee their safety when entering," Snow Heart thought to herself. However, even though she thought this way in her heart, she couldn't say it out loud. Instead, she slowly replied, "There is definitely some danger, but given this junior brother's strength, he should not face life-threatening risks."
"This is good..." After hearing Xue's words, Meng Xiner finally felt relieved.
On the other side, Xing Chen was also rushing towards Lianyao Tower. Lianyao Tower, located at the center of Dragon Blood Palace, was a towering structure that seemed to pierce the sky, containing countless demon beasts, ranging from those of the Body Refinement Realm to the Fate Observation Realm's Demon Kings and Spirit Void Realm's Demon Emperors. It was even rumored that a Demon Emperor existed within Lianyao Tower.
The Demon Emperor was a powerful being comparable to the Emperor of Thunder Punishment. The fact that such a strong entity was sealed within Lianyao Tower indicated just how formidable Dragon Blood Palace was and how powerful the Dragon Blood Sovereign must be.
Of course, it could not be ruled out that Dragon Blood Palace had some special means to seal a Demon Emperor. After all, according to Hate Emperor's estimation, the Dragon Blood Sovereign had not yet reached the level of the Emperor of Thunder Punishment; otherwise, he would have already destroyed Nine Nether Imperial Palace.
The Wind Mountain Range was already very close to Lianyao Tower, so Xing Chen did not fly for long before arriving near Lianyao Tower.
"Lianyao Tower truly lives up to its name. Even from this distance, I can feel the overwhelming demonic aura. If an ordinary person were to approach Lianyao Tower, they would probably be suffocated before even getting close!" Xing Chen thought to himself.
"Indeed, I have heard of this Lianyao Tower before. It is a treasure of the Dragon Blood Sovereign. Although it has not yet reached the Spirit Level, it has certainly reached the peak of Divine Rank and may even be half Spirit Level," Hate Emperor said.
"Well, let's go down and take a look!" Xing Chen nodded and slowly descended to the ground, walking forward.
"Please show your token!" Just as Xing Chen approached Lianyao Tower, two elderly gatekeepers stopped him and spoke.
Both elders had reached the Peak of Fate Observation Realm. In front of them, Xing Chen had no ability to resist. Moreover, he was now a disciple of Dragon Blood Palace, so entering Lianyao Tower did not violate any rules. Thus, he calmly took out the Wind Token that Xue had given him and handed it to one of the elders.
"Oh, so you are a disciple under Wind God Lord. However, your cultivation is too weak; entering Lianyao Tower would only lead to your demise. Rascal, I advise you not to go in," one elder said after examining the Wind Token and then returned it to Xing Chen while kindly advising him.
"Thank you for the reminder. I know it's dangerous inside, but I must enter," Xing Chen replied slowly.
"Sigh, today's youth are so ambitious. Well, since you want to go in, I won't stop you any longer. Go ahead!" The elder shook his head with a sigh and waved his hand.
Xing Chen nodded and moved forward. However, at that moment, a strange voice suddenly reached his ears.
"Why does everyone want to enter the Lianyao Tower now? Even someone at the Late Stage of the Insightful Self Realm wants to go in and seek death. Sigh, the world is really going downhill!" This sarcastic voice ended with a feigned sigh.
Xing Chen turned to glance at the speaker, noticing that it was a person as thin as a stick, clearly someone suffering from severe kidney deficiency. However, despite appearing frail, this stick figure was indeed a genuine Gaze into the Realm's Pinnacle expert.
"There's no need to pay attention to such people. Let's just go in!" Hate Emperor said.
Xing Chen looked at the stick figure once more before turning to walk ahead. At that moment, the stick figure spoke again: "What kind of look is that? Am I wrong? A mere Gaze into the Self can be crushed by my finger, yet you dare think about entering Lianyao Tower for training."
"It's going to rain, and someone's getting married. If someone wants to seek death, there's nothing I can do!" Xing Chen, who already had a bad temper, couldn't contain his anger any longer after being provoked repeatedly by this stick figure. He turned around and thrust his palm forward.
With a thunderous roar, a massive hand suddenly appeared in the air and came crashing down.
This move was even more powerful than the God-Slaying Demon Claw; it was a Divine-Level Martial Art known as Sealing Magic Great Handprint, an advanced Tier Martial Art with immense destructive power.
"How dare you strike! I'll let you see how many eyes the Horse King has!" The stick figure shouted angrily. He then formed hand seals, and a chilling wind suddenly swept through, followed by countless dark chains emerging and rushing toward Xing Chen's massive hand to bind it.
"Dark Chains!"
The Scrawny Man shouted loudly as these chains pierced through the void, covering the ground as they charged toward Xing Chen's hand.
Boom!
A loud explosion echoed as Xing Chen's Sealing Magic Great Handprint collided with the Dark Chains. In an instant, those chains wrapped around Xing Chen's Sealing Magic Great Handprint.
Countless Dark Chains surged forth, entangling the Sealing Magic Great Handprint in layers upon layers.
"Hmph!" Seeing this situation, Xing Chen remained unfazed. He coldly snorted, and then the enormous handprint in mid-air shook violently. Countless dark chains began to shatter apart.
At the same time, a counter-shock wave instantly swept through, causing the Scrawny Man to spit blood and be sent flying, landing several dozen miles away before crashing hard onto the ground.
Meanwhile, Xing Chen's Sealing Magic Great Handprint still carried unmatched power as it crossed layers of space, pressing down towards the Scrawny Man.
"Who is this person? Such strong abilities! Gaze into the Self can actually forcefully suppress a strong opponent of Gaze of Life."
"I don't know. I've never seen or heard of this person before, but I feel like I've seen that one who was sent flying somewhere."
"Of course you've seen him; that's from the Azure Wind Mountain Range, the son of the Wind God Lord. This kid has gotten himself into big trouble this time."
The other people who were about to enter Lianyao Tower began to discuss among themselves upon witnessing this scene. Even the elder who had previously advised Xing Chen against entering Lianyao Tower looked at him with newfound respect.
After all, being able to defeat a strong opponent of Gaze of Life with the cultivation of Gaze into the Self indicated extraordinary strength; he must be a genius among geniuses.
At that moment, the Sealing Magic Great Handprint had already crossed several dozen miles, descending towards the Scrawny Man. As it pressed down, the entire sky began to tremble.
Just then, a loud shout suddenly rang out: "You have some nerve to hurt my junior brother! You are dead!"
