With the words of the Underworld God, everyone in the Underworld Abyss instantly knew who they were going to capture. Thus, all the Underworld Army mobilized to apprehend Xing Chen and Meng Xiner.
In less than a moment, the entire sea region was aware of this news. All the Underworld Army and the forces affiliated with the Underworld moved out simultaneously, aiming to capture Xing Chen and the others.
On the other side, in the Absolute Sea Region, Xing Chen and Meng Xiner slowly revealed themselves. It had already been three hours since they escaped, and Xing Chen was aware that the Underworld God had sealed off the entire sea area to capture him.
Therefore, he could not return to the Eastern Region through the Nine Heavens Sea. He needed to take a detour to the Yang Sea Region, then head to the Southern Region, and from there make his way back to the Eastern Region.
"Meng Xiner, I still don't have the ability to unlock the Underworld God Seal within you for now. However, give me some time; once I reach the Yang Realm, I will definitely be able to help you break the Underworld God Seal," Xing Chen said as he looked at Meng Xiner in his arms.
"I'm not worried about the Underworld God Seal. What I'm concerned about is whether the Fate Jade Pendant will affect you," Meng Xiner said, raising her head with a hint of worry in her beautiful eyes.
"Don't worry, Meng Xiner! Although the Underworld God has played a trick on me this time, he has also temporarily resolved the issue with the Fate Jade Pendant. As for the True God Chain, although I destroyed part of it, there is still a portion binding it. As long as that part of the Zhen Shen Chain doesn't break, I won't have to worry about the threat of the Fate Jade Pendant," Xing Chen said with a gentle smile at Meng Xiner.
"Then what should we do now? The Underworld God has already sealed off the entire sea area. Can we still escape?" Meng Xiner asked with some concern.
"Don't worry. My strength has fully recovered now; dealing with an ordinary Sun Realm Lord is no problem. As long as we don't encounter the top few among the Thirty-Six Demon Lords, we can still break through their blockade," Xing Chen replied after a moment of contemplation.
Without using the power of the Fate Jade Pendant, he could only match an ordinary Sun Realm Lord at most. However, if he were to use it, no one among them would be his opponent; only a demigod like the Underworld God could capture him personally.
"Xing Chen, please don't use the Fate Jade Pendant this time no matter what. I'm really afraid of seeing what happens when you use it," Meng Xiner said as she buried her head in Xing Chen's embrace.
"I know this isn't something I can control, but if during my battle, that Fate Jade Pendant suddenly breaks free from the Zhen Shen Chain's restraint, then I might have no choice but to use it. So I can't guarantee anything," Xing Chen initially wanted to promise her but couldn't help but speak up when he thought about how he couldn't control the Fate Jade Pendant.
"I understand that this isn't something you can control, but I hope you can do your best to suppress the power of the Fate Jade Pendant!" Meng Xiner said with pursed lips.
"I can guarantee that I will do my utmost to suppress the Fate Jade Pendant," Xing Chen nodded. He didn't want his mind to be controlled by the Fate Jade Pendant, so even if Meng Xiner didn't help, he would still try his best to control it.
"Now the entire sea area has almost fallen into the hands of the Underworld God. How can we escape?" Meng Xiner glanced around. Although they had not yet encountered anyone from the Underworld, those people would come sooner or later, and once they arrived, it would be too late.
"There is only one way to escape, and that is to break through. Of course, we must run out through a weak point in their blockade," Xing Chen said, his gaze flickering slightly.
"Meng Xiner, I have something I want to say..." Meng Xiner hesitated for a moment before looking at Xing Chen.
"Go ahead!" Xing Chen smiled.
"Since you can imagine that the Nine Heavens Sea is dangerous and therefore avoid it, then the Underworld God must also be able to anticipate this. I think not all of their strong ones are stationed at the Nine Heavens Sea..." Meng Xiner began slowly.
"What you mean is... the most dangerous place is actually the safest place. The Underworld God assumes I won't return to the Eastern Region from the Nine Heavens Sea, so he wouldn't deploy too many forces there?" Xing Chen's eyes sparkled as he instantly understood Meng Xiner's hint.
"Yes, but maybe my guess is wrong. So how we should proceed is up to you!" Meng Xiner leaned her head on Xing Chen's shoulder and spoke softly.
"You are right. Since everyone knows that place is dangerous, they will surely think I won't return to the Eastern Region from there, so there will definitely be fewer strong ones present," Xing Chen said, his gaze flickering slightly.
"Let's go; we will head to the Nine Heavens Sea!" With a slight movement of his body, Xing Chen took Meng Xiner away from there.
Soon, their figures appeared in the Nine Heavens Sea. As the weakest among the so-called Top Ten Seas, it had long been conquered by the Underworld Army. However, because Xing Chen and Meng Xiner had been concealing their presence, they were not detected by anyone.
"We're almost at the Eastern Region; we're just fifty thousand miles away. However, this area must be heavily guarded as well, so I can't traverse through the void anymore; otherwise, spatial fluctuations will surely alert them," Xing Chen said, furrowing his brow as he looked ahead.
"Yes, Xing Chen, let's stay calm and not rush," Meng Xiner nodded. She knew that in such situations, being anxious was extremely dangerous and they must remain composed.
Xing Chen brought Meng Xiner with him and took a full three hours to finally reach the edge of the sea, with the Eastern Region now in sight.
“Eastern Region, we’ve arrived!” Looking at the Eastern Region ahead, Xing Chen did not hesitate and instantly flashed into the territory of the Eastern Region.
“Not right!” The moment Xing Chen stepped into the Eastern Region, he immediately sensed something was off because he did not feel the unique aura of the Eastern Region here... this was not the Eastern Region at all!
“Hahaha, you’ve been fooled.” Just as Xing Chen's expression changed, a series of loud laughs echoed, and countless black Shadow Demons surrounded Xing Chen. Among them, more than half of the Thirty-Six Demon Lords and Seventy-Two Demon Lords had come, and even the Underworld God personally took charge.
“Did you think this god didn’t know that the so-called most dangerous places are often the safest? The more dangerous a place is, the more powerful beings I have stationed there; conversely, I haven’t placed many strong beings in other areas.” The Underworld God laughed as he walked slowly to face Xing Chen.
“I never expected that my cleverness would backfire this time. It seems that if I break out from the Absolute Sea Region, it would be much easier!” Xing Chen said coldly as he looked at the Underworld God.
“If you really could break out from the Absolute Sea Region, my people might not be able to stop you. But you chose to come here instead…” The Underworld God sneered.
“Xing Chen, I’m sorry. It’s because you listened to me that you chose this place…” At this moment, Meng Xiner's delicate face was filled with guilt as she looked at Xing Chen.
“It’s not your fault. Even without your suggestion, I would have chosen to come here,” Xing Chen said as he tightened his arm around Meng Xiner.
“Underworld God, before you make your move, I want to ask you a question: how did this Eastern Region come about? How could it deceive even me? This definitely isn’t something an ordinary illusion can achieve, right?” Xing Chen looked at the Underworld God.
“You’re correct; this is a treasure of my Underworld, the Illusionary Demon Disk. It can transform into anything, and no one can discern its truth from its falsehood.” The Underworld God nodded in response to Xing Chen's question.
“Good, now I understand your methods, Underworld God. Shall we discuss something?” Xing Chen nodded and looked at the Underworld God.
“I’m quite interested to hear what you have in mind,” the Underworld God said with curiosity.
"Let Meng Xiner go, and I will obediently surrender and return with you. This deal is quite a bargain, isn't it?" Xing Chen said.
In this situation, escaping was simply impossible. The only thing he could do was negotiate with the Underworld God using his last bit of leverage to ensure Meng Xiner's safety.
"Your proposal is quite good, but I have no intention of agreeing. Since this woman is so important to you, I naturally cannot let her go easily. Once she is free, even if we capture you, you definitely won't cooperate with us. On the contrary, if she is here, things will become much simpler," Underworld God said with a hint of a smile.
"Underworld God, you are forcing me to fight you to the death!" Xing Chen's expression turned cold again. Since negotiations with the Underworld God were futile, he could only resort to violence to resolve the matter.
"Fish can die, but the net will never break. If you don't believe it, you can try," Underworld God said, completely unconcerned by Xing Chen's threat. He signaled to his subordinates, the Demon Lords, and they surrounded Xing Chen.
"Damn it!" Xing Chen shouted angrily. Immediately, a Demonic Aura surged from him, and the Hate Demon Domain manifested, enveloping Meng Xiner. Then Xing Chen reached into the void and grasped, causing a Spear of Punishment to appear in his hand. The powerful force and terrifying lightning power dispersed all the black mist around him.
"Realm of Thunder!" Xing Chen waved the Spear of Punishment, instantly transforming the surroundings into a world of thunder. Everyone, including Underworld God, was enveloped in it.
"Your Realm of Thunder might be useful against one or two people, but attacking so many of us at once is simply seeking death," Underworld God sneered as he looked at the lightning surrounding them.
The powerful beings present here were countless; if they all attacked simultaneously against the Realm of Thunder, it wouldn't just be one realm that would be shattered—it would be destroyed in an instant.
