Death Grip
Xing Chen has been in this cave for half a month. During this time, the power from the Extreme Evil Demon Stone has almost been completely absorbed by him, and at the same time, the Bottleneck that hindered his breakthrough has finally loosened.
"Break for me!" Feeling the loosening of the Bottleneck, the power of the Extreme Evil Demon Stone accumulated within him surged out in an instant, condensing into a black longsword that pierced through the Bottleneck.
Boom!
Xing Chen felt a tremendous roar in his mind, and then the Demonic Aura within him suddenly surged violently, increasing more than tenfold at that moment. A shocking momentum instantly shot towards the Nine Heavens, as if a Flood Dragon had broken free from the earth's constraints.
Ah!
Xing Chen let out a long howl, and the sound waves rolled out, reaching hundreds of miles away. Beside him, Meng Xiner saw Xing Chen's cultivation suddenly soar and her pretty face immediately showed joy.
She had been somewhat worried about Xing Chen, but now that he had finally broken through, she no longer needed to be on edge.
"Finally broke through. It seems this time there shouldn't be any danger," Meng Xiner muttered to herself.
"Child, quickly operate the Nine Transformations of Demon Power. This is a great opportunity; with this breakthrough, your Nine Transformations of Demon Power can definitely achieve the second transformation," Hate Emperor shouted loudly.
"Nine Transformations of Demon Power, nine transformations into demon!" A flash of light appeared in Xing Chen's eyes as he activated the Nine Transformations of Demon Power. The powerful Demonic Aura within him was instantly transformed into a pure form of Demonic Aura. At the same time, his body continuously absorbed the strong Demonic Aura around him to replenish his own consumption.
Moreover, during this breakthrough, he also triggered the effects of the Nine Revolutions Infinite Pill, causing his Soul Power to surge again, now comparable to those at the level of Gaze into the Realm's Pinnacle.
His Nine Transformations of Demon Power also completed its second transformation, further increasing the purity of his Demonic Aura. Although his cultivation was still at the Initial Stage of Self-Observation, his actual combat power had definitely reached the level of Glimpse of Objects.
"What powerful strength! This power is dozens or even hundreds of times stronger than mine," Meng Xiner looked at Xing Chen in astonishment. Although she was also at the Initial Stage of Self-Observation, she could at most contend with those at the level of Peering into the Pinnacle of Self-Observation, and that was due to the influence of the Thunderfire Deity's Legacy. Otherwise, being able to compete with someone at the initial stage would already be impressive.
However, Xing Chen's current strength was absolutely dozens or hundreds of times greater than hers. How could she not be astonished? The gap between them at the same level of Gaze into the Self was simply too vast.
"Alright, with your current strength, you are already capable of competing with the strong ones from Glimpse of Objects. Moreover, after reaching Gaze into the Self, you will gain a very special ability, which is the ability to see your own destiny. This is why this realm is called Gaze into the Self," the Hate Emperor laughed.
Gaze into the Self is named as such because those who reach Gaze into the Self can glimpse their own fate, allowing them to avoid misfortune and seek good fortune. However, if there are others at the same level or above Gaze into the Self who intentionally target you, they can conceal their intentions so that you cannot perceive them.
Additionally, Gaze of Fate only allows one to glimpse fate but does not enable one to change it. In other words, even if you know what is about to happen, you still cannot alter it.
To change one's fate, one must reach Mastering Fate; otherwise, even those in the Yin Yang Catastrophe Realm cannot change their destiny.
"Is this the power of Gaze into the Self? Truly formidable. Blood Fiend Hall, I will make you pay," Xing Chen said, clenching his fists slightly. The space around him began to tremble as his powerful aura distorted the surrounding area as if it were about to shatter at any moment.
"Xing Chen, how powerful! Have you really broken through to Gaze of Fate?" Meng Xiner asked with a smile on her beautiful face.
"Yes, I have broken through. I can help you take revenge now," Xing Chen replied with a smile, feeling the immense power within him. His heart was filled with confidence; if he faced that Blood Robed Youth now, he was sure he could kill him in one strike.
"Child, consolidate your realm first. It’s not suitable to go after Blood Fiend Hall immediately; otherwise, you might get hurt again," the Hate Emperor said slowly. Although Xing Chen had broken through to Gaze of Fate and reached the second transformation of Nine Transformations of Demon Power, making his Demonic Aura more refined and his Soul Power stronger, he had not yet consolidated his realm!
If he rashly sought revenge against Blood Fiend Hall, it would be very dangerous. While encountering someone at Glimpse of Objects might not be an issue, meeting someone at Gaze into Fate or above would be troublesome.
After all, although Xing Chen was powerful, if he encountered several Glimpse of Objects or a single strong individual at Gaze into Fate without having consolidated his realm yet, he would have no chance to escape.
"No need for that; there are at most fifty disciples from Blood Fiend Hall in Underworld Abyss. Even if their Palace Master comes personally, I will ensure he returns empty-handed," Xing Chen said with a glint in his eyes.
"Meng Xin'er, come on; I’ll take you for revenge," Xing Chen said as he reached out and pulled Meng Xiner with him, intending to leave and find those disciples from Blood Fiend Hall to kill them for Meng Xiner's revenge.
"Xing Chen, wait a moment. You should consolidate your realm before leaving; I'm afraid you might encounter some danger," Meng Xiner said softly with her head down. These words were naturally conveyed by the Hate Emperor to her so she could inform Xing Chen.
The Hate Emperor knew that Xing Chen would definitely listen to Meng Xiner's words, which is why he acted this way.
"Alright, I'll listen to you." Xing Chen paused for a moment before nodding and then turned back into the cave and sat cross-legged down.
Then, the Black Light flickered on him, and a powerful force instantly enveloped the entire cave. Meng Xiner watched from the side, feeling a sense of dread, when suddenly the voice of Hate Emperor reached her ears.
"Remember, you cannot let him leave here within three days; otherwise, if he encounters Gaze into Fate or multiple Gaze of Fate, you will definitely die," Hate Emperor warned.
"Senior, I understand. I will keep a close watch on him. But even after solidifying his realm, won't it be dangerous to seek out those from Blood Fiend Hall?" Meng Xiner asked with some concern.
"Of course there will be danger, but relatively speaking, it's manageable. The best approach is to prevent him from seeking revenge on Blood Fiend Hall, but he will definitely not agree to that. So we can only try to minimize the risks," Hate Emperor sighed.
"Senior, can't you help Xing Chen when the time comes?" Meng Xiner asked in confusion.
"I can't; I have no way to intervene. Everything depends on him, and of course on you, since you are the one designated by Punishment," Hate Emperor replied.
"Punishment? Are you referring to the one who occupied Xing Chen's body last time?" Meng Xiner asked with a slight frown.
Although she had communicated with Punishment for a long time last time, she did not know his name. Now, hearing it from Hate Emperor, she realized that the person was called Punishment.
Moreover, both Xing Chen and Punishment share the surname Xing; what could their relationship be? Meng Xiner pondered wildly in her mind.
"That's right, he is that person. He is an ancestor of Xing Chen. Although I don't know what exactly happened between you two, judging by Punishment's demeanor, he should approve of you being with Xing Chen," Hate Emperor said.
"Approve of us?" Meng Xiner was slightly taken aback and then recalled what Punishment had said to her before; indeed, it seemed like...
Thinking of this, Meng Xiner's cheeks involuntarily flushed slightly as she shyly glanced at Xing Chen.
However, Xing Chen was completely unaware of Meng Xiner's demeanor. At this moment, he was focused solely on stabilizing his realm and then seeking revenge for Meng Xiner, so he paid no attention to external matters.
Three hours passed quickly. During this time, Xing Chen considered going to take revenge for Meng Xiner, but she kept stopping him until finally, after he had thoroughly stabilized his realm on the third hour, she agreed to let him go.
Fortunately, the Underworld Trial would last for a month; it wasn't too late for him to go out now. There were still three days left until the end of the Underworld Trial.
Three hours were enough for Xing Chen to slaughter all the Blood Slaughter Hall Disciples participating in the trial.
"Xing Chen, can we not go? We can come back to eliminate them once we are stronger," Meng Xiner looked at Xing Chen and asked this question again, one he had asked many times before.
"Meng Xin'er, there's no need to persuade me anymore. I've waited long enough for your advice on this matter. Now, I can't wait any longer; I must go avenge you, or I won't find peace," Xing Chen said, his gaze firmly fixed ahead.
This time, no matter what, he had to destroy the Blood Fiend Hall. He was willing to pay any price; this was Xing Chen's current mindset.
"Child, since you've made up your mind, I won't say much more. I just want to remind you that Meng Xiner's strength is far from comparable to yours. If you take her with you to seek trouble with the Blood Fiend Hall, aren't you afraid she might die?" Hate Emperor said.
"I am confident I can protect her because I am avenging her. Therefore, she must witness it with her own eyes. Only then can she release the resentment in her heart. Although she has never been with me, I can feel it. So, no matter what, I must help her release that resentment," Xing Chen's eyes flashed with killing intent. At that moment, his gaze seemed to pierce through layers of space and see the disciples of the Blood Fiend Hall.
"Alright then, since that's the case, I won't try to dissuade you any longer," Hate Emperor sighed and said no more.
"Meng Xin'er, let's go and see how I help you take revenge," Xing Chen turned to Meng Xiner and smiled.
Meng Xiner gently pressed her lips together and then walked over slowly. She came to Xing Chen's side and suddenly smiled at him.
