Death Grip
"Child, this is a critical time, and we must use extraordinary means. If you continue to hesitate and second-guess yourself, it could ruin everything," the Hate Emperor said gravely.
"Alright, I will use the Fate Jade Pendant one more time," Xing Chen said, a look of hesitation on his face before he gritted his teeth.
"That's the spirit. I've already checked; there are no powerful beasts or humans nearby. You can safely refine the remnants of the Azure Dragon Divine Weapon here. The only concern is whether there will be any side effects after refining these remnants," the Hate Emperor continued.
The Azure Dragon Divine Weapon is, after all, a Spirit-Level Divine Weapon. Even though it is now just remnants, they are still fragments of a Spirit-Level Divine Weapon. Xing Chen's current strength is still too low. Although he can leverage the powerful energy of the Fate Jade Pendant to refine these remnants, no one knows if there will be any side effects.
"I'm not afraid of side effects as long as it can enhance my strength; everything else is secondary," a determined look flashed in Xing Chen's eyes. He then slightly shook his palm, causing the Nine Nether Web to instantly disappear. The Purple Dragon Soul flickered with light, attempting to escape, but with a deep breath, a powerful suction force immediately emerged, pulling the Purple Dragon Soul in.
"Quickly, suppress it! Otherwise, your body will be instantly shredded by these remnants!" Seeing Xing Chen swallow the remnants of the Azure Dragon Divine Weapon, the Hate Emperor shouted urgently.
"Fate Jade Pendant, suppress it for me!" Xing Chen's gaze flickered slightly as he suddenly shouted. A black light instantly flashed around him.
Buzz!
The Fate Jade Pendant within Xing Chen's body hummed and suddenly pressed down towards the Purple Dragon Soul. A dark beam shot out from the Fate Jade Pendant and collided with the green divine light emanating from the Purple Dragon Soul.
"Roar..."
The Purple Dragon Soul, being a remnant of the Azure Dragon Divine Weapon and a fragment of true Purple Dragon Soul energy, was indeed formidable. The blue light erupted from it, blocking the black light emitted by the Fate Jade Pendant.
"So strong! No wonder it's a remnant of the Azure Dragon Divine Weapon," Xing Chen's pupils contracted slightly at such overwhelming power.
"Unfortunately, you still cannot fully control the Fate Jade Pendant. For now, you can only rely on it to attack and suppress autonomously. When you can completely master this pendant like Punishment does, then not only will you easily crush a mere remnant of the Azure Dragon Divine Weapon; even if the true Azure Dragon Divine Weapon were to reappear, you could easily suppress and shatter it," the Hate Emperor sighed and said slowly.
Meanwhile, within Xing Chen's body, the battle between the Fate Jade Pendant and the remnants of the Azure Dragon Divine Weapon intensified. The Purple Dragon Soul unleashed powerful Azure Dragon sword energy that shot out in all directions. If it weren't for Xing Chen cultivating the Hate Demon Body, which allowed him to absorb most of that power, his body would have been torn to shreds by now.
Even so, he was still suffering greatly; after all, using his own body as a battlefield for two divine artifacts to clash was extremely dangerous. One misstep could lead to his body exploding and his spirit being annihilated.
Buzz!
The Fate Jade Pendant vibrated again, and the word 'Fate' flew out from it. The two large characters transformed into two beams of Black Light, carrying unmatched power, and instantly shot towards the Purple Dragon Soul formed from the fragments of the Azure Dragon Divine Weapon.
"Roar..." The Purple Dragon Soul let out a Dragon Roar, and then its body slightly rotated, transforming into a shimmering long sword. On the sword, a green Divine Dragon coiled around the blade, adding a touch of majesty to it.
"Is this the Azure Dragon Divine Weapon?" Xing Chen, who had been closely monitoring his internal situation, asked with a hint of astonishment in his eyes.
He sensed an exceptionally terrifying power emanating from this Azure Dragon Divine Weapon. If that power were to be fully unleashed, it could definitely destroy the world. And this was just the power radiating from a fragment; if the true Azure Dragon Divine Weapon were here, Xing Chen couldn't even imagine what kind of power that would be.
"The Phantom of the Azure Dragon Divine Weapon?" The voice of Hate Emperor also carried strong surprise. After tens of thousands of years, he never expected to see the Azure Dragon Divine Weapon again today. Although it was just a Phantom, this power felt so familiar.
"What do you think, Hate Emperor? Do you think the Fate Jade Pendant can suppress the fragment of the Azure Dragon Divine Weapon?" Xing Chen asked with a furrowed brow.
"It should be fine. After all, the Fate Jade Pendant directly shattered the Azure Dragon Divine Weapon. This means that the level of the Fate Jade Pendant surpasses that of the Azure Dragon Divine Weapon. Even if you can't fully control the Fate Jade Pendant, suppressing a fragment of the Azure Dragon Divine Weapon shouldn't be a problem," replied Hate Emperor.
"Can we skip using 'should'? Can you be more certain? You need to understand that if things go wrong, I might not make it out of here," Xing Chen gritted his teeth and said.
"Well, until the end, no one can know for sure. After all, while the Fate Jade Pendant is powerful, the Azure Dragon Divine Weapon is not to be underestimated. Although this is just a fragment, it's not so easy to suppress. However, its chances of resisting or escaping are quite low. As for your safety, you don't need to worry at all; the Fate Jade Pendant will definitely protect you in critical moments," said Hate Emperor, pondering for a moment.
Boom!
At that moment, however, a violent rumbling sound erupted from within Xing Chen, as the attack from the Fate Jade Pendant finally collided with the Azure Dragon Divine Weapon.
The characters 'Fate' fell like two pitch-black meteors, while the Azure Dragon Divine Weapon resembled a divine sword capable of splitting the earth, striking out with one blow that instantly collided with 'Fate'.
"Hate Demon Body!" At that moment, Xing Chen frantically activated his Hate Demon Body, as the force exploding within him was simply too powerful. Although the Fate Jade Pendant had absorbed much of it for him, even just a portion was beyond what he could withstand.
"Ah..."
Suddenly, Xing Chen stood up and let out a long howl, his voice carrying a hint of Dragon Might. The sound rolled outwards, instantly spreading for hundreds of miles, echoing in the surroundings.
At the same time, an Azure Dragon Soul coiled around him, flickering in and out of visibility. The beasts on the fourth floor of Lianyao Tower began to stir violently at that moment.
On the other side, at the entrance of the fourth floor, those who were arguing with Jinyu also noticed the tremors. Although they were too far away to hear Xing Chen's voice, they could feel the vibrations coming from that direction.
"What’s happening? This aura seems similar to the one when that Rare Treasure appeared earlier. Could it be that Jinyu really didn’t take the Rare Treasure and someone else did?"
"It looks like we indeed wronged Jinyu. Hurry, we might still make it if we leave now."
"Yes, let's go quickly; otherwise, that person will escape again."
The crowd that had been surrounding Jinyu suddenly turned their attention towards Xing Chen's direction. Those who were faster had already taken off, rushing towards where Xing Chen was.
"A bunch of fools. With your intelligence, you think you can obtain a treasure? You don’t even realize you’re being used as pawns," Jinyu sneered as he watched them leave.
