Death Grip
"Child, hurry up and leave. The vibrations from your breakthrough have definitely attracted countless powerful beings. If you stay here, it will be a dead end," Hate Emperor said loudly.
"Perfect timing; they can be my sparring partners and help me solidify my realm," Xing Chen replied with a cold laugh.
"Among them are Gaze into Fate's..." Hate Emperor was about to inform Xing Chen about the level of strength among those individuals when he noticed that as soon as Xing Chen heard this, he immediately turned tail and ran.
"What the hell? Your change of heart is too fast!" Hate Emperor said, somewhat dumbfounded.
"Nonsense! Why didn't you tell me earlier that there were strong beings from Gaze into Fate among them?" Xing Chen retorted angrily.
His strength was indeed formidable now, but at most he could only handle peak-level Glimpse of Objects beings. If he encountered someone from Gaze into Fate, even if he didn't die, he would still be severely injured.
Xing Chen used several Earth Escape Techniques and had already traveled thousands of miles. At this moment, he finally realized why he should be running. Even if those people encountered him, how would they know he was the one who obtained the treasure?
"Hate Emperor, why should I run? At such a distance, even if they noticed the vibrations here, they couldn't possibly know that I am the one!" Xing Chen stopped and questioned in confusion.
"Uh, well... it seems I was indeed overly worried. You really don't need to run," Hate Emperor replied after a brief pause.
"Damn, I didn't expect to almost be scared away by you, Rascal," Xing Chen cursed before stopping his escape. At the same time, his Soul Power instantly radiated outward, allowing him to control everything within a thousand miles.
"This won't do; all the beasts on the fourth level are too weak. Almost all of them are Gaze into the Self beasts, with only a few from Gaze of Life, and not a single one from Glimpse of Objects!" Xing Chen's gaze flickered.
"That's normal; didn't we just pass through? This place isn't suitable for you. You'd better go to the fifth level or even the sixth level for training; that's the only way to achieve the effect you want for solidifying your realm," Hate Emperor slowly said.
"Alright, then I'll go to the fifth level," Xing Chen nodded and was about to continue forward when suddenly a figure flashed down from the sky. Ten thousand rays of golden light shone down as if a sun had appeared in the sky.
"Shuttling through void? The lowest level of strength capable of traversing through Lianyao Tower must be Gaze into Fate," Xing Chen's expression changed slightly as he felt a surge of fear inside.
"Child, this person does not come with good intentions; you must be prepared," Hate Emperor's voice slowly transmitted.
The golden light in the sky gradually converged at this moment, and soon, a young figure appeared before Xing Chen.
In the air, a boy dressed in a Brocade Robe, with what seemed like two Round Suns in his eyes, was staring intently at him, a hint of confusion on his face.
"You're the one who took that Rare Treasure, aren't you?" Despite his confusion, the boy still asked. He trusted his judgment; that Rare Treasure must be with this boy because there was no one else within a thousand miles. The only suspect was Xing Chen. Although Xing Chen was merely at the level of Peering into the Pinnacle of Self-Observation, intuition told the boy that the person before him was not simple.
"What Rare Treasure? Were you referring to that Azure Light that just shot up? I would love to see what that Rare Treasure is, but do you really think someone at the Gaze into the Self level like me could obtain a Rare Treasure in such a short time and then throw it so far away?" Xing Chen looked unafraid as he gazed at the Brocade Robed Youth and spoke calmly.
"I'll know whether it's with you or not just by looking." The Brocade Robed Youth snorted coldly, and then two blazing suns appeared in his eyes. Two beams of golden light shot straight at Xing Chen.
This was the unique secret technique of the Golden Crow Deity, the Golden Crow Divine Eye, which could see through everything and pierce through illusions. This youth was naturally Jin Riyou, a disciple of the Golden Crow Deity. At this moment, as the two beams of golden light shot forth, a sense of crisis suddenly surged within Xing Chen's heart.
"Hate Demon Eye!"
A faint Black Light flashed in Xing Chen's eyes, and immediately, two dark orbs leaped out from his gaze, colliding with the two beams of golden light shooting towards him.
Boom!
As they collided, an invisible ripple instantly spread outwards, and the powerful force caused the space to tremble slightly.
"Indeed not simple; it seems that Rare Treasure is most likely taken by you." Jin Riyou sneered and then suddenly reached out his hand towards Xing Chen.
With the movement of his hand, a powerful sense of pressure instantly enveloped Xing Chen's entire body.
"Dodge!" Seeing the enormous golden hand appearing in the air, Xing Chen's gaze flickered slightly. He then stomped on the ground and used the Earth Escape Technique.
The strength of someone at Gaze into Fate was simply too formidable for him to handle at this moment. Thus, he could only flee, uncertain if he could escape successfully.
Bang!
Jin Riyou's strike slammed down onto the ground, causing it to collapse instantly. However, Xing Chen had already escaped by then and suffered no harm whatsoever.
"Run? I would like to see where you can run to," Jinriyou said with a cold smile at the corner of his mouth.
Then, his figure flickered and instantly vanished into the void, disappearing as he traversed the space to pursue Xing Chen. It seemed he was not afraid of the Spatial Storm contained within the space, boldly searching through the void.
"I didn't expect to be targeted by a strong individual from Gaze into Fate. It seems I'm in trouble this time!" Xing Chen thought to himself while performing the Earth Escape Technique.
"Child, while the Five Elements Escape Technique is powerful, it won't shake off that strong individual from Gaze into Fate. We need to think of another way," Hate Emperor said.
"The gap in strength is too great. Unless I can reach Gaze of Life, I won't be able to match him," Xing Chen frowned. At most, he could deal with a peak expert of Glimpse of Objects; competing against someone from Gaze into Fate would still be quite difficult.
"If it comes to it, you should use the power stored in your Thunderfire Divine Ring to eliminate him! Otherwise, you will definitely face disaster," Hate Emperor said anxiously.
"The Thunderfire Divine Ring isn't with me; I left it with Meng Xiner for protection," Xing Chen replied after a moment of silence.
"You gave away your strongest trump card? How am I supposed to help you now?" Hate Emperor sighed.
"If it really doesn't work, you can take action yourself and kill this Rascal as well," Xing Chen suggested.
"My Soul Power is hard-earned; I can't afford such consumption. You should run quickly!" Hate Emperor refused without hesitation.
Xing Chen did not respond further and directly used the Earth Escape Technique to cover thousands of miles in distance. At this moment, he was very close to the passage leading to the fifth level of Lianyao Tower. However, Jinriyou was closely following behind him, showing no intention of letting Xing Chen go.
"What an impressive escape technique; it's almost as fast as my traversal through the void," Jinriyou said with a smile upon seeing Xing Chen. "I'll give you a chance: hand over all the treasures you've obtained along with this escape technique, and I will let you leave. Otherwise, I will ensure you have no place to be buried."
"You want my escape technique and treasures?" Xing Chen raised an eyebrow slightly and then spat disdainfully. "You think you can threaten me? I want to see how strong you really are!"
"Demon Suppression Seal!"
Xing Chen quickly formed seals with his hands, and a powerful Demonic Aura surged up from him, enveloping an area of several dozen miles in his momentum, creating a suffocating atmosphere. Soon after, a black Blood Seal slowly condensed in his hand, its immense power causing the space around it to slightly distort.
"Just a trivial skill!" Jinriyou said as he waved his hand. A scorching gale swept in instantly, carrying strands of golden flames that transformed into a violent dragon whirlwind, rushing towards Xing Chen.
"Break!"
Xing Chen pushed his palm forward, and the Demon Suppression Seal transformed into a beam of Black Light, instantly shooting out like a falling meteor, capable of piercing through the Underworld.
Boom!
The two collided, creating a storm of destruction that rapidly spread outward. The powerful shockwave surged toward him, and Xing Chen lightly stomped his foot, causing his figure to vanish in an instant.
Jin Ri also retreated, disappearing into the void, leaving behind an endless storm of destruction raging in the area.
At this moment, the space slightly rippled, and several figures dressed in black slowly appeared. They all emanated a chilling aura and scanned the surroundings with cold eyes. One of them slowly spoke, "It's Jin Ri's aura; he has used the Golden Crow Divine Flame. Although he only used a small portion, it is definitely him. As for who he fought against, I can't tell; there is a very unfamiliar presence that doesn't even allow us to determine which powerful sect's disciple he belongs to."
"Oh? I didn't expect such a strong individual to be hidden among the younger generation of my Dragon Blood Palace. The one who can match Jin Ri must undoubtedly be an Observer of the Realm. However, I wonder who that person is," another person said slowly.
They all recognized Jin Ri; he was the most favored disciple of the Golden Crow Deity. Although not the strongest among the Golden Crow Deity's disciples, he was certainly within the top ten.
"Alright, let's not concern ourselves with what happened here; we should quickly search for that person. Otherwise, if Master gets angry later, none of us will have good outcomes," said the leader, an Observer of the Realm. The others nodded in agreement and then simultaneously vanished into the void.
