Death Grip
Xing Chen's punch caused countless powerful demons to perish, and at the same time, he swiftly vanished into thin air.
Just as Xing Chen disappeared into the void, more than ten exceptionally strong auras appeared in the sky. These were the arriving Underworld God and others.
"Damn it! He actually escaped!" Seeing that they had arrived too late, Underworld God's face showed anger, and a wildly violent aura erupted from him, causing the surrounding demons to retreat in fear.
"Worthless! A bunch of useless fools! How could so many of you fail to capture one person? What use do I have for you?" Underworld God roared angrily, then unleashed a furious wave of Demonic Aura, causing all the nearby demons to scream in agony as their bodies exploded.
"What are you standing around for? Go catch him!" Underworld God shouted furiously at the stunned Demon Lords and Demon Lord beside him.
"Underworld God, our influence has not yet penetrated the Northern Region. Rushing in like this would result in heavy losses; we should plan carefully!" Purgatory Demon Lord, one of the Thirty-Six Demon Lords, said with a slight frown.
The Northern Region had no presence of their Underworld at all; entering now would be tantamount to seeking death.
"Do you dare defy my orders?" Underworld God narrowed his eyes, and a dangerous aura immediately emanated from him, causing fear to flash across the faces of the Demon Lords and Demon Lord.
Underworld God was far too powerful, and his heart was ruthless and cold. He would show no mercy to those who dared defy his commands. Now, Purgatory Demon Lord openly contradicting Underworld God was simply asking for death!
"I was merely reminding you, Underworld God, with no other intentions. Of course, if you insist on sending us in, we will go and capture that person," Purgatory Demon Lord said slowly.
"Let's set this matter aside for now. Do we have any leads on the Strongest Inheritance?" Underworld God took a deep breath and looked at Purgatory Demon Lord.
"We have searched the entire sea area, but there is not a single clue about the Strongest Inheritance. We have no idea where it is," Purgatory Demon Lord replied with a slight frown.
They, the Underworld Army, had almost turned the sea upside down, but they could not find any clues about the Strongest Inheritance. The Dragon Ball in the hands of the Underworld God seemed like a useless object, providing no guidance whatsoever.
"Damn it! The Dragon Ball is the key to the Strongest Inheritance, yet this thing is completely useless," the Underworld God’s previously calmed anger flared up again. After all, everything was going wrong today, making it hard for him to remain composed.
"Underworld God, please calm down. I believe the reason the Strongest Inheritance has not appeared yet is that the timing is not right. Once the time comes, the Strongest Inheritance will surely manifest," the Illusion Demon Lord suddenly spoke charmingly.
"Alright, you all can leave. I want to be alone for a while," the Underworld God nodded slightly and waved his hand.
"Underlings take their leave!" The Demon Lords simultaneously withdrew, leaving only the Underworld God alone.
"If I could obtain the Fate Jade Pendant, even without the Strongest Inheritance, I could still break through to Mastering Fate and become a True God. What a pity!" The Underworld God sighed slowly as he looked in the direction where Xing Chen had escaped.
He could sense the immense energy contained within the Fate Jade Pendant, and it was energy that was very suitable for him to absorb. Unfortunately, he could not obtain it from Xing Chen and could only hope for the Strongest Inheritance now.
In the Northern Region, in a remote mountain range, Xing Chen's figure gradually became visible. At the same time, he spat out a mouthful of blood, and his aura quickly weakened.
Having just fought fiercely with the Blood Sea Demon Lord, he had also suffered a strong impact. However, he had been suppressing it and did not let his injuries flare up. Now that he confirmed he was temporarily safe, Xing Chen relaxed slightly and finally spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Xing Chen, how are you?" In the Hate Demon Domain, Meng Xiner looked at Xing Chen's current state with an unusually tense expression on her delicate face.
"It's nothing; how could such minor injuries affect me?" A hint of defiance appeared on Xing Chen's face. He did not want Meng Xiner to see his weak side; perhaps this was due to how his personality had changed after being influenced by the Fate Jade Pendant!
"Xing Chen, let me out so I can take care of you!" Meng Xiner said softly with pursed lips.
"No, you can't go out now. Although you don't have to worry about the Underworld people chasing after you here, the Northern Region is also not a safe place. Only by returning to the Eastern Region can we truly be safe," Xing Chen slowly shook his head.
Meng Xiner hesitated for a moment but said nothing. The current Xing Chen was not the same as before; he wouldn't listen to her words. Since Xing Chen had already made up his mind, it was pointless for her to insist any further.
At this moment, he had already vanished into the void again. The Northern Region was tens of millions of miles away from the Eastern Region, and without using the Teleportation Array, it would indeed take Xing Chen a considerable amount of time to return.
Eastern Region, Hate Emperor Palace!
"The power of the Underworld has now taken control of the entire sea area, which is something we cannot contend with. Therefore, it is basically impossible for us to go to the sea to rescue anyone," Diviner said slowly while looking at the people present.
"But Xing Chen has been captured by the Underworld God; we can't just ignore it!" Xueqing said with concern on her delicate face.
"That's right, no matter what, I will go save him!" Hate Emperor declared. Although he had fought with Xing Chen earlier and had been injured, he still wanted to rescue him because he knew that at that time, Xing Chen had lost his own consciousness. His mind was completely influenced by the Fate Jade Pendant, which was why he had attacked him.
"Everyone, I understand your intentions, but I must point out that Xing Chen might not necessarily be unable to escape from the Underworld God's control. After all, we cannot underestimate the power of the Fate Jade Pendant; its might is even greater than that of the Five Divine Weapons. It won't be so easy for the Underworld God to keep him confined," Diviner said after a brief contemplation.
He had witnessed Xing Chen's power; if he were to use the Fate Jade Pendant, then Xing Chen's strength would not be much weaker than his or that of the Underworld God.
Moreover, because he was transformed from the Purple Dragon Soul of the Azure Dragon Divine Weapon, he could not leave the Eastern Region for too long. If he stayed away for too long, his power would gradually degrade.
Most importantly, he couldn't easily engage in combat with others; otherwise, he would face condemnation. Of course, there was no way around dealing with the Underworld God—if he didn't act in the Eastern Region, it would perish. Thus, it was reasonable for him to take action against him. However, now he could not act recklessly, especially not with full force.
"It seems you all care about me!" At that moment, a voice suddenly resonated as the surrounding space slightly rippled.
"Xing Chen..."
Hearing this voice, everyone was startled and turned their gaze towards the door.
"Hahaha... I, Xing Chen, have returned. After I rest for a while, I will destroy Four Domains, and then, I will kill Underworld God and slaughter all of his Underworld Army," Xing Chen said with a hearty laugh.
At the same time, a faint black light flashed around him, and Meng Xiner's figure suddenly appeared beside him.
"Xing Chen, do you still intend to oppose Four Domains?" Hate Emperor's expression changed slightly as he looked at the Black Jade Pendant on Xing Chen's forehead. He realized that Xing Chen must be influenced by the Fate Jade Pendant, otherwise he wouldn't be saying such things.
"Four Domains caused me to be tricked by Underworld God once. How could I possibly let them off so easily?" Xing Chen snorted coldly, a glint of cold light flashing in his eyes.
"You all should leave for now! Xing Chen is injured and needs to recuperate." Just as Hate Emperor was about to say something, Meng Xiner suddenly signaled to everyone.
"Alright, then you focus on healing! We won't disturb you," Hate Emperor said after hesitating for a moment upon seeing Meng Xiner's expression, and the others also retreated.
"Whether he can be saved depends on you," Diviner said as he left, casting a glance at Meng Xiner.
"Xing Chen, go ahead and heal!" Meng Xiner nodded slightly and then turned her gaze to Xing Chen.
"Okay!" Xing Chen nodded. His feelings for Meng Xiner had not changed due to the influence on his mind; on the contrary, he hoped that Meng Xiner would continue to feel the same way about him.
"Xing Chen, is there anything I can do to help you?" Meng Xiner looked at Xing Chen with gentle eyes.
"You being with me is the greatest help you can give me." Xing Chen smiled, and it was only when facing Meng Xiner that such a smile could appear on his face.
"Hehe..." Meng Xiner giggled and reached out to hug Xing Chen, her delicate body pressing tightly against him.
"Meng Xiner, you don't oppose my actions anymore?" Xing Chen asked as he looked at Meng Xiner, who was holding him tightly.
He hadn't seen Meng Xiner's smile for a long time, and now that charming smile finally reappeared, making Xing Chen feel that Meng Xiner didn't mind his current state.
"I support you. The people from the Four Domains are indeed excessive; they almost got us both killed. We must take revenge on them," Meng Xiner said softly.
"As long as you support me, I don't care if everyone else opposes me," Xing Chen said happily upon seeing that Meng Xiner actually supported him.
"Hehe, Xing Chen, are you good to me?" Meng Xiner asked playfully while hugging him.
"Of course!" Xing Chen nodded without hesitation.
"Then since the Underworld God treated us this way, I want you to help me take revenge," Meng Xiner said, a hint of hatred flashing in her beautiful eyes as she looked at Xing Chen with great anticipation.
