Death Grip
"The power of the Fate Jade Pendant cannot be restrained by human strength. Even the mighty Punishment ultimately perished under the Fate Jade Pendant. The current Xing Chen will certainly not be an exception," Diviner shook his head and said.
"What? Are you saying that Xing Chen will die?" Meng Xiner exclaimed, her face filled with disbelief.
"If this continues, he will indeed die. However, that will only happen when he fully awakens and resists the Fate Jade Pendant. If he does not resist, then the Fate Jade Pendant will not randomly erase him," Diviner continued.
"I don't believe it. I don't believe Xing Chen will die. He will be fine; he is just temporarily confused by the powerful force of the Fate Jade Pendant. He will soon regain himself," Meng Xiner shook her head repeatedly.
"This is a fact. Even the powerful Punishment could not avoid death; he certainly will not be an exception unless he is willing to let the Fate Jade Pendant control his mind indefinitely," Diviner stated.
"I don't believe it. I don't believe it..." Meng Xiner shook her head in despair.
……
On the other side, after leaving the Sword Kingdom, Xing Chen flew forward aimlessly. In his arms, Xu Yuxi had completely recovered from her injuries. Although the attack from the Spear of Punishment was fierce, it was not incurable.
"Yuxi, was what I did really wrong?" At this moment, Xing Chen calmed down and reflected on his earlier argument with Meng Xiner. He realized that he might indeed have made some mistakes.
"You were indeed wrong, Xing Chen. Meng Xin'er was right; you have changed. You would never have argued with her like that before, and you certainly wouldn't go back on your promises," Xu Yuxi said, her face still somewhat pale despite her recovery.
"I don't even know what happened. I just felt a mess inside and said those things," Xing Chen lowered his head, revealing a hint of guilt in his eyes. He knew that his words must have angered Meng Xiner greatly.
"This isn't truly your intention; you were completely influenced by the Fate Jade Pendant. You should go back and explain to Meng Xin'er. She will surely forgive you," Xu Yuxi advised.
"Right, I need to go back and explain to Meng Xin'er." Suddenly, Xing Chen halted in his tracks and turned to look toward the direction of the Sword Kingdom.
"Want to go back? Unfortunately, you can no longer return!" Just as Xing Chen intended to go back, a chilling voice suddenly emerged beside him, causing him to become alert instantly.
"Who? Who is speaking?" Xing Chen's gaze was cold as he looked around, but he did not see any figures.
"It is I who is speaking; what can you do about it?" A ghostly voice suddenly echoed from behind Xing Chen. A cold glint flashed in his eyes as he quickly turned around to look.
"Underworld Demon Lord?" Upon seeing a figure shrouded in black mist behind him, Xing Chen gasped in shock. He sensed an aura that only a Demon Lord possessed from this being, and it was no less formidable than the Dark Demon Lord he had encountered before.
"Good eye. I am one of the Thirty-Six Demon Lords of the Underworld, the Six Desires Demon Lord. You are the one who restored the Azure Dragon Divine Weapon, aren't you?" The person claiming to be the Six Desires Demon Lord spoke.
"Six Desires Demon Lord?" Xing Chen raised an eyebrow slightly; he felt like he had heard this name somewhere before. After a moment, he finally recalled that when he was about to leave the Eastern Region, Xun Hongyi and others had mentioned it. He had obtained the Six Desires Demon Lord's Inheritance. However, thinking back now, it seemed ridiculous; the Six Desires Demon Lord was an Underworld Demon Lord—how could he possibly leave his Inheritance in the human realm?
"You are unfortunate to encounter me, the Six Desires Demon Lord. Last time when I was gravely injured, that Diviner from your Eastern Region took the opportunity to seal me away. Now that I have escaped my seal, I originally intended to settle accounts with that person. However, since I have met you here, it would be convenient for me to eliminate you as well." The Six Desires Demon Lord spoke casually about dealing with Xing Chen, as if Xing Chen were merely an ant before him—he could crush him whenever he wanted.
"Arrogant!" Xing Chen's gaze turned icy, and a murderous intent flashed in his eyes as he threw a powerful punch forward.
"Underworld King Fist!" As Xing Chen unleashed his punch, the ground trembled violently. The immense power caused surprise to flicker across the face of the Six Desires Demon Lord.
"Six Desires Demon Fist!" A hint of black light flashed in the eyes of the Six Desires Demon Lord as he swung his fist, resembling a cataclysmic event where all gods fell.
Boom!
As their fists collided, Xing Chen felt a tremendous force coming from his opponent's punch, akin to an ordinary person being struck hard by a galloping steed.
Xing Chen's body was instantly sent flying backward, along with Xu Yuxi in his arms.
"The Six Desires Demon Lord is incredibly strong!" Xing Chen flew hundreds of miles before stabilizing himself, and as he looked at the Six Desires Demon Lord, his vigilance increased.
"Hate Demon Domain!" Xing Chen activated the Hate Demon Domain and enveloped Xu Yuxi within it. It was too dangerous outside; if Xu Yuxi remained nearby, Xing Chen truly could not guarantee her safety. Moreover, most importantly, only by bringing her into the Hate Demon Domain could he unleash his full power.
"Not bad, not bad. You actually didn't suffer any serious injuries from my strike. How about this! As long as you are willing to submit to me and become my subordinate, I can spare your life," said the Six Desires Demon Lord, with his arms crossed.
"Dream on! You think I'll submit to you? Bring it on!" Xing Chen replied without any hesitation, simultaneously reaching out and grasping the air, causing the Spear of Punishment to appear in his hand in an instant.
"Let me borrow a move! Thunder Dragon Annihilation!" Xing Chen's eyes gleamed coldly as he thrust the spear forward. Accompanied by the resounding Dragon Roar, an Annihilation Thunder Dragon appeared before the Six Desires Demon Lord, roaring and attempting to devour him.
"Just a trick!" The Six Desires Demon Lord looked disdainfully at the Thunder Dragon. With a gentle push of his palm, a black shield of light manifested. The Thunder Dragon collided with the shield but failed to inflict any damage on the Six Desires Demon Lord.
"Haha, no matter how much you attack, you will never break through my Six Desires Demon Shield. As long as there are negative emotions below, my power of Six Desires will never run dry!" The Six Desires Demon Lord laughed heartily.
"Is that so?" Xing Chen suddenly sneered. He then pointed at the Fate Jade Pendant on his forehead. Instantly, the Fate Jade Pendant emitted a buzzing sound as black light surged forth, creating a tremendous pulling force that began to absorb the power of the Six Desires Demon Lord.
"What is happening? You can actually absorb my power?" The Six Desires Demon Lord was taken aback. He felt his own power of Six Desires rapidly depleting. If this continued, all his strength would surely be drained away.
"Hmph, not only do I want to absorb your power, but I also plan to use this strength to break through to Jungjing and then kill you," Xing Chen said with a cold smile. Although he was not currently a match for his opponent, the power of Six Desires was the greatest supplement for him. The power of Six Desires was Negative Power; if all of it were absorbed by Xing Chen, it would absolutely allow him to break through to Jungjing.
"I won't let you absorb my power! Before you can finish absorbing it, I will kill you. Take this—Six Desires Demon Fist!" The Six Desires Demon Lord roared and then struck out with a powerful punch that pierced through the void and shook the heavens, instantly descending before Xing Chen.
"Cang Biyou!" Xing Chen swung his palm and unleashed his powerful martial arts technique, Cang Biyou. However, even with Cang Biyou, facing the Six Desires Demon Lord's Six Desires Demon Fist was still somewhat overwhelming; it simply wasn't enough.
Boom!
With a deafening sound, a massive shockwave swept through like a tidal wave. At the same time, Xing Chen felt an exceptionally immense force slam into him, nearly knocking him unconscious.
"What a powerful punch!" Xing Chen thought in astonishment. However, the Fate Jade Pendant on his forehead continued to glow brightly as it absorbed the power of Six Desires from the Six Desires Demon Lord to strengthen himself.
"Very good, very good. Just give me some more time and I will be able to break through to your realm," Xing Chen felt his Demonic Aura wildly increasing within him and a glimmer of joy flashed in his eyes. Once he reached Junjingjie, killing the Six Desires Demon Lord would be like child's play.
"Die for me! Six Desires Demonic Finger!" The Six Desires Demon Lord shouted in disbelief upon seeing Xing Chen withstand his punch without any harm.
"Life One Finger!" This time, Xing Chen did not just defend; he launched an attack with Life One Finger.
Boom!
The two forces collided, and the ground beneath Xing Chen instantly shattered. However, despite the difficulty, Xing Chen managed to withstand the Six Desires Demon Lord's powerful strike without being injured or knocked back, merely sinking deeply into the ground.
"How is this possible?" The Six Desires Demon Lord was taken aback, unable to believe that Xing Chen could resist his overwhelming blow; it simply defied logic.
"Six Desires Demon Lord, is your power limited to this?" Xing Chen looked up at the Six Desires Demon Lord, a hint of mockery on his face.
"You damn brat, you're asking for death!" The Six Desires Demon Lord roared in fury, but this had no effect on Xing Chen, who completely ignored him.
"Six Desires Demon Sword! Seven Emotions Six Desires Slash!" In a fit of rage, the Six Desires Demon Lord drew his Six Desires Demon Sword and swung it fiercely at Xing Chen.
This strike, infused with the Six Desires Demon Lord's immense anger, almost instantly cut through the air towards Xing Chen.
