Death Grip
"En?" Feeling the surge of Demonic Aura, Xing Chen immediately turned his gaze this way, his sharp eyes piercing through the void, landing on the demon wrapped in Demonic Aura.
"What a powerful presence?" The demon said, a hint of shock in his voice as he sensed Xing Chen's gaze.
He knew that two powerful beings were fighting nearby, and after being suppressed for so many years, his strength was on par with Jiaolong Emperor, but he had suffered heavy losses and could not unleash his peak combat power. Upon feeling Xing Chen's gaze, the demon instantly transformed into a Black Light and fled into the distance.
Xing Chen watched the fleeing demon without pursuing him. After all, his own power had been nearly depleted in the battle against Jiaolong Emperor, especially after resisting Jiaolong Emperor's final devastating strike, which had consumed most of his strength. If that demon truly engaged him in battle, he would not stand a chance.
Seeing the demon leave, Xing Chen reached out and grasped the air, capturing a Purple Dragon Soul in his hand. This was none other than Jiaolong Emperor's Purple Dragon Soul. Initially, he had planned to hide and wait for Xing Chen's power to wane before escaping, but unexpectedly, he was discovered by Xing Chen, leading to his complete tragedy.
"Please, don't kill me!" The remaining soul of Jiaolong Emperor shouted frantically. He did not want to die; having just emerged after being suppressed for tens of thousands of years, he absolutely did not wish to meet such a tragic end.
Xing Chen ignored Jiaolong Emperor's desperate cries and once again summoned his hand. The Ice Snow Imperial Seal was immediately grasped in his hand. Looking at the Ice Snow Imperial Seal, he then flipped his palm and infused it into Meng Xiner's body.
"Although you cannot activate this Ice Snow Imperial Seal yet, it will protect you from harm. Xing Chen is my successor, but his fate must not be like mine. Only you can help him in this world. Remember..." For the first time, Xing Chen, controlled by Punishment, spoke.
Although the Hate Emperor resided in Xing Chen's mind, he could not hear what was being said at that moment. He knew it was the work of Punishment, so he did not intend to force himself to listen; as long as Punishment did not cause him trouble, he would be grateful.
Standing still, Meng Xiner listened quietly to 'the words of Xing Chen', becoming increasingly shocked. She even began to doubt whether what Punishment said was true or false.
"Do not doubt the truth of my words. If he continues down this path, his fate will be no better than mine. There are only two things in this world that can help him escape this destiny: one is to obtain the Strongest Inheritance. As long as he acquires the Strongest Inheritance, he can break free from everything and transcend; however, this method is impractical. The other method is..." At this point, 'the words of Xing Chen' turned back to look at Meng Xiner.
Although he had once rampaged without rivals beneath him, only he knew that he was merely a Puppet. His life and death were not within his control. He had attempted to resist but ultimately was completely erased from this land. This was also why someone with the power of Punishment mysteriously disappeared.
He did not simply vanish; he was obliterated—both body and soul—and this projection was something he had painstakingly left behind to warn those who inherited his fate not to continue down this path because it was a road of no return that would ultimately lead to annihilation.
"Is everything you said true? Will Xing Chen really be killed in the end?" Meng Xiner asked with a change in her complexion.
It wasn't that she didn't want to believe in Punishment, but rather that its words were too incredible to accept. If these words were spoken aloud, no one would believe them; even those like the Emperor of Thunder Punishment would surely consider such claims as madness.
"If it weren't true, neither he nor I would exist in this world. However, I realized it too late, sigh..." Xing Chen said, letting out a sigh.
"I can't tell him directly about this, can I?" Meng Xiner remained silent for a moment before pursing her lips.
"That's right, this matter must not be disclosed to him. Otherwise, he will die immediately. What you can do is to slowly guide him, ensuring that his Seven Emotions and Six Desires are not completely frozen, allowing him to experience various feelings. Only then will he avoid walking down my old path," Punishment explained.
Meng Xiner fell silent at that moment. After hearing Punishment's words, she felt great sympathy for Xing Chen and wanted to help him. However, she feared that she might ultimately fail to do what Punishment had instructed.
"Hate Emperor, long time no see. I never expected we would meet in this way after tens of thousands of years," Punishment said, understanding Meng Xiner's silence. After all, if he were to suddenly hear such shocking news himself, he would react similarly.
"Yes... it's been a long time. You are still as powerful as ever," Hate Emperor replied, his entire soul trembling as he spoke.
"Powerful? Heh, if I were truly powerful, I wouldn't be in this situation now," Punishment chuckled bitterly. Perhaps in the eyes of Hate Emperor and others, he seemed incredibly strong and unmatched in the world, but in the end, he was still easily killed. It was unfortunate that he hadn't fully reached the realm of Mastering Fate at that time; otherwise, the outcome would have been different, and Xing Chen would not have appeared at all.
Back then, Body Refinement, Soul Refining, Yang Po, Destiny Observation, Lingxu, and the Yin Yang Catastrophe Realm—he had broken through to the peak of the final realm in less than ten years. He had even been on the verge of stepping into the last realm of Mastering Fate. He could have dominated fate itself, but at the last moment, he was killed. The feeling of having everything fall apart at the last moment made Punishment want to curse when he thought about it now.
"Could it be that you really have..." Hate Emperor said incredulously.
"That's right; I am already dead." Before Hate Emperor could finish his sentence, Punishment nodded.
"How is that possible? Is there anyone in this world who can kill you?" Hate Emperor's voice was filled with disbelief. After all, Punishment's strength was universally recognized; there should be no one capable of killing him in this world.
"No one can kill me because what killed me was not human," Punishment said as he gazed into the distance. He continued, "This Flood Dragon has decent strength; its soul origin hasn't been damaged too much and should help you recover your Soul Power in the Spirit Void Realm. You should follow Xing Chen from now on; that way, I will feel more at ease. Moreover, your Hate Demon is very suitable for him; this will increase his chances of success in the future."
"Are you really going to let me devour this Flood Dragon's soul?" Hate Emperor was filled with surprise and joy. Originally grateful that Punishment didn't kill him, he never expected Punishment to grant him such a significant gift.
"At your current state, it will take about half a month for you to absorb this Soul Power. However, after half a month, your Soul Power should reach the first stage of Lingxu—the realm of merging with emptiness," Punishment said calmly. He then pressed the Purple Dragon Soul against his forehead; it immediately appeared in his mind. Upon seeing the Purple Dragon Soul materialize, Hate Emperor pounced on it like a hungry tiger.
"Take good care of him!" Seeing Hate Emperor devouring the soul, Punishment couldn't help but smile. He then approached Meng Xiner and said slowly, "My power has been exhausted; take good care of her. Her final fate is now in your hands." As soon as Punishment finished speaking, his body began to fall forward.
"Xing Chen!" Meng Xiner exclaimed as she hurriedly stepped forward to support Xing Chen. However, at that moment, Xing Chen's soul was in a dying state; Punishment's power had already vanished. Hate Emperor was also busy refining the Flood Dragon's soul and had no control over his own body; naturally, he collapsed into Meng Xiner's embrace.
Meng Xiner held Xing Chen, her pretty face slightly flushed. She then looked around; the area had become a complete mess after the recent battle between Punishment and Jiaolong Emperor. There was not a single intact island within tens of thousands of miles, all had been destroyed by the terrifying aftermath.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
At that moment, several sounds of breaking air were heard. The tremors here had alerted powerful beings from the Nine Heavens Imperial Palace, who were now rushing over to find out what had happened.
These individuals were led by a Fourth Level of Life Observation, a Gaze into Fate individual. Besides the Gaze into Fate person, there were two Glimpse of Objects and five Gaze of Life experts. Such a lineup was something that no other force outside of Nine Heavens Imperial Palace could muster.
"Quick, there’s someone over there. Go ask her what exactly happened," said the leading Observer of the Realm as he spotted Meng Xiner. He immediately tore through the void with his hands, traversing through space, and in an instant, he was before Meng Xiner.
"Miss, may I ask what just happened? Who was fighting here?" the Observer of the Realm asked Meng Xiner politely.
"A Flood Dragon that ran out from Snow Wind Island and a demon that escaped from Demon Suppression Cave were fighting for some unknown reason, and we got caught in the crossfire," Meng Xiner replied, a hint of hatred appearing on her pretty face. This was not an act; she truly loathed Jiaolong Emperor. If it weren't for him, Xing Chen wouldn't have ended up like this.
"A demon and a Flood Dragon?" The Gaze into Fate expert's eyes flickered before he looked intently at Meng Xiner again and asked, "What happened in the end?"
"The Flood Dragon was killed, and the demon was severely injured and fled," Meng Xiner explained, though she felt somewhat impatient. However, since the other party was an Observer of the Realm, she absolutely did not want to engage in a fight unless absolutely necessary.
