Death Grip
"Now I see, it seems these demons have some humanity after all!" Xing Chen said, his gaze flickering.
"Of course, they would never hand over something like that to you. You should stop dreaming about it; just leave while you can. You are no match for these Gaze of Life demons," Hate Emperor replied.
"Since that's the case, I was indeed reckless. I will take my leave now." Xing Chen's soul slightly trembled, conveying a thought.
The several Gaze of Life demons did not obstruct Xing Chen's departure; they could sense his strength. If they truly engaged him in battle, even if they managed to subdue him, their side would undoubtedly suffer heavy losses. It would be tragic if they ended up fighting the Underworld Palace afterward.
"Xing Chen, what should we do now? Those demons are very powerful!" Meng Xiner said, looking at Xing Chen.
"We wait. When the Disciples of the Ten Halls come here for their trial, that will be our opportunity. The demons from Underworld Abyss will definitely mobilize, and we can take advantage of the chaos to obtain the Extreme Evil Demon Stone," Xing Chen said with a hint of a cold smile.
"Isn't that dangerous?" Meng Xiner asked with some concern. After all, this was Underworld Abyss, filled with countless demons. If Xing Chen ventured deep into Underworld Abyss to retrieve the Extreme Evil Demon Stone, the danger was self-evident.
"There will naturally be danger, but as long as I obtain the Extreme Evil Demon Stone, my cultivation will reach Gaze of Fate. At that point, no one in Underworld Abyss will be my opponent," Xing Chen stated.
The strongest demon in Underworld Abyss was only at the level of Glimpse of Objects. As long as Xing Chen broke through to Gaze into the Self, it would not be impossible to contend with Glimpse of Objects; even Gaze into Fate would not be able to kill him.
"So what should we do now?" Meng Xiner asked, biting her lip.
"First, give me the Demon Cores from the demons I killed earlier. I need to enhance my strength again and refine my Demonic Aura so that I can compete with the strong ones from Gaze of Life," Xing Chen said.
Although he was not weak and could contend with strong ones from Gaze of Life, he could only match those at the Initial Stage of Soul Observation. If he encountered mid-stage or late-stage Gaze of Life strong ones, even if he wasn't killed, he would be severely injured in an instant.
"Okay." Meng Xiner nodded and then took out thousands of Demon Cores from the Thunderfire Divine Ring. These were collected right after Xing Chen had killed those demons. A powerful Demonic Aura surged forth, causing the entire Underworld Abyss to tremble at that moment.
"Hate Demon Body!" Xing Chen's eyes sparkled with Black Radiance as a terrifying suction force erupted from him. Hundreds of Demon Cores were instantly drawn to him, and their powerful Demonic Aura was absorbed into his body, refining his own Demonic Aura.
Gradually, the Demonic Aura within him became increasingly refined and dark, with a deep luster that seemed to mesmerize anyone who gazed upon it.
"How powerful..." Meng Xiner looked at Xing Chen in shock. She could sense the terrifying power surging from Xing Chen, especially after he absorbed those hundreds of Demon Cores. His aura had become even deeper and more obscure.
"Hate Emperor, after absorbing these hundreds of Demon Cores, my strength has reached a saturation point. If I don't break through my current realm, I won't be able to absorb any more power; otherwise, I will definitely explode and die," Xing Chen said, his expression slightly changing.
The power from those hundreds of Demon Cores was almost instantly absorbed by him, refined into the purest form of Demonic Aura. Although his cultivation level hadn't changed yet, his strength had significantly increased.
"Don't rush. Your Demonic Aura is already quite pure, but you're still far from the limit. In the past, when I cultivated the Nine Transformations of Demon Power, each transformation made the Demonic Aura much more refined. In the end, my Demonic Aura strength was not inferior to that of the Underworld God from the Nine Nether Underworld," Hate Emperor said proudly.
"No need for idle talk. Quickly teach me the Nine Transformations of Demon Power, or my strength won't be able to improve any further," Xing Chen insisted.
"Alright, focus your mind and receive my teachings on the Nine Transformations of Demon Power!" Hate Emperor commanded, as a vast thought was instantly transmitted into Xing Chen's mind.
"This is the Nine Transformations of Demon Power?" After receiving this information, Xing Chen's eyes brightened slightly. The Nine Transformations of Demon Power was undoubtedly a divine-level Cultivation Method.
The effects of the Nine Transformations of Demon Power were incredibly powerful. If he practiced according to the techniques recorded in it, his internal Demonic Aura could be refined at least ten times more.
"Nine Transformations of Demon Power, Nine Turns of Infinity—" Xing Chen formed hand seals, and groups of dark and profound demonic light instantly radiated out. At the same time, a stronger suction force erupted from him, drawing all remaining Demon Cores towards his body.
In an instant, he was enveloped by countless Demon Cores, resembling a mountain made entirely of them. The remaining cores wrapped around him completely, emitting a Black Light, causing Meng Xiner's delicate face to change slightly as she feared something had gone wrong.
"Xing Chen, are you alright?" Meng Xiner shouted loudly.
"Don't worry, I'm fine." Just as she finished speaking, a wave of spiritual energy emanated from him.
Soon after, the Black Light radiating from the mountain of Demon Cores grew even denser, while within the cocoon of cores, Xing Chen rapidly operated the Nine Transformations of Demon Power.
With the influx of power from countless Demon Cores, the speed of his cultivation in the Nine Transformations of Demon Power skyrocketed like a rocket. Almost instantly, he completed the first transformation, and his magical power had more than doubled compared to before.
Then, he continued to cultivate the second transformation without any pause, but the power of the Demon Core was already somewhat insufficient. During the cultivation of the first transformation, he had already consumed over seventy percent of the Demon Core, and now the remaining Demon Core left him unable to successfully cultivate even one-tenth of the second transformation of the Nine Transformations of Demon Power.
Boom!
As the power of the Demon Core was completely absorbed by Xing Chen, his body trembled, and a faint sound of thunder echoed from within him. The exhausted Demon Cores around him were instantly shattered.
Ah—
After shattering the surrounding Demon Cores, Xing Chen let out a long howl, his voice rolling like a tide, causing the space around him to tremble subtly.
Some powerful demons also rushed over in this direction. At the same time, some of the Disciples of the Ten Halls who had already entered the Underworld Abyss heard Xing Chen's howl and immediately turned their gazes toward him.
"Good, good! Haha! With your current strength, you can definitely walk through Glimpse of Objects without fear. Even ordinary Gaze into the Realm's Pinnacle experts won't be able to do anything to you," laughed Hate Emperor.
However, Xing Chen knew that while he could handle ordinary Gaze into the Realm's Pinnacle experts, if he encountered some talented disciples who reached the Late Stage of the Insight Realm, they could defeat him without needing to reach Gaze into the Realm's Pinnacle. Therefore, he needed to further enhance his strength.
"Indeed, my strength has increased significantly. I now have confidence in dealing with those few demons from earlier," Xing Chen said as he felt the power within him.
The demons from earlier were all at the Initial Stage of Soul Observation. With Xing Chen's current strength, he could definitely handle them. But now he didn't even need to seek out those demons because they were already coming to him.
"Roar..." An Initial Stage of Soul Observation demon suddenly charged at Xing Chen with a roar. A powerful Demonic Aura surged like a tidal wave, followed by a pitch-black claw that reached out toward Xing Chen.
Xing Chen stood in mid-air, his gaze cold as he watched this demon. He remained motionless as that claw came crashing down because an Initial Stage of Soul Observation demon could not possibly harm him.
"Overestimating yourself!" When that claw struck him, Xing Chen slightly activated his Hate Demon Body and immediately absorbed that force into his body while coldly snorting.
Then he stepped forward slowly; it was the Demon God Step!
"Demon God Step, one step and all beings tremble!"
With this step taken, the entire space instantly trembled, and cracks in the fabric of space appeared in the air. Large areas of space began to collapse and shatter, and a powerful Spatial Storm surged forth, instantly tearing apart that demon.
Then, Xing Chen reached out and grasped the Demon Core left behind by the demon, which was immediately drawn into his hand. Following that, the Nine Transformations of Demon Power slightly activated, and the power within the Demon Core was instantly absorbed by him.
This Demon Core was indeed worthy of being the Demon Core of the Gaze of Life demon; its powerful energy allowed Xing Chen to successfully cultivate one-tenth of the second transformation of Nine Transformations of Demon Power.
"Soul Devouring!"
After absorbing the Demon Core, a strange light shone in Xing Chen's eyes. He then scanned his surroundings; the soul of that demon hidden in the void had no chance to hide from his gaze. As soon as Xing Chen's eyes focused on it, a powerful suction force emanated from his eyes.
The phantom face of that demon began to twist and then transformed into a black smoke, which was absorbed by Xing Chen's Soul Devouring. Upon seeing this, the Hate Emperor did not hesitate at all; he pounced on the powerful demon's soul and quickly devoured it.
"Child, quickly! There is a mountain range ahead; it is a huge demon tribe where high-level Extreme Evil Demon Stones exist. You must obtain these Extreme Evil Demon Stones. Once you do, you can break through to Gaze of Fate," shouted the Hate Emperor after absorbing the powerful demon's soul.
"How do you know this?" A hint of joy appeared on Xing Chen's face as he asked.
"I found it in this demon's memories. The tribe he belonged to is called Rock Demon Tribe, where powerful beings have reached the Late Stage of the Insight Realm. Additionally, there are many strong individuals with Gaze of Fate. However, even if you cannot defeat them head-on with your strength, there is still hope for stealing the Extreme Evil Demon Stone," replied the Hate Emperor.
