Death Grip
"Calm down!" Just as a wisp of the Underworld God's soul approached, a brilliant silver light erupted from Xing Chen, and the power of **Plaque was instantly activated.
With Xing Chen's strength increasing, the power of **Plaque that had merged with his soul was able to unleash even greater might.
"Bewitched by Immortals, Buddhas, and Spirits, **Plaque of the Underworld!"
Above Xing Chen's soul, an illusory Plaque slowly materialized. The Silver Light on the Plaque was blinding, making it hard to look directly at it. At the same time, a powerful Soul Suppression Power surged outward wildly. When the wisp of the Underworld God's soul was illuminated by the Silver Light, it let out a piercing scream.
"Damn it! How could this be **Plaque! How did it end up in your hands?" The Soul of the Underworld God roared angrily, while a dark golden light surged from its body to resist the incoming silver light.
"So you are the Underworld God of the Nine Nether Underworld?" Xing Chen asked with a furrowed brow as he looked at the Underworld God. He did not wish to eliminate the Underworld God immediately; although it was merely a fragment of its soul, its desolation was still formidable. Relying on the power of **Plaque, he could barely suppress it but lacked the strength to destroy it.
"Indeed, that is me. Child, if you know what’s good for you, hand over the Soul Suppression Tablet. If you do, I might spare your life. If you dare defy me, I will ensure you die without a burial place, mutilated until only your soul remains, which I will throw into the Jiuyou Mingfeng Thunder Prison," threatened the Underworld God loudly.
"You dare threaten me?" Xing Chen was taken aback that at this moment, the Soul of the Underworld God still had the audacity to threaten him.
Immediately, the light emitted by **Plaque became even more powerful, and the Soul of the Underworld God let out a cry of agony.
"Ah—Child, how dare you treat me this way! You will surely regret it," cried out the Soul of the Underworld God, wailing continuously.
"I'll see who ends up regretting this," said Xing Chen, his eyes flashing coldly as the Soul Suppression Power grew stronger and completely suppressed the Underworld God.
"Underworld King Armor!” Suddenly, with a loud shout from the Soul of the Underworld God, dazzling dark golden light erupted from its body. Then, a magnificent and imposing set of armor appeared on the Soul of the Underworld God, forcing back much of the silver light illuminating it.
"You cannot suppress me. With your peak Soul Power from **Glimpse of Objects, trying to suppress me is still far from possible! Even if you have **Plaque in hand, if you cannot unleash its true power, you will absolutely not pose a threat to me," roared the Soul of the Underworld God.
"If a true Underworld God were here, killing me would be no problem. But since you've only taken a fragment of your soul, I refuse to believe I can't handle you," gritted Xing Chen, then formed seals with his hands as silver light radiated from his body.
“Seal!”
After a moment, Xing Chen shouted loudly, and a silver light shot out towards Soul of the Underworld God.
The Soul Devourer's Seal, specifically targeting Yin Soul Ghostly Entity, combined with Soul Suppression Power, made it even more formidable. Even Soul of the Underworld God did not dare to underestimate Xing Chen's attack.
“Underworld King Fist!” Soul of the Underworld God paused slightly, then suddenly threw a powerful punch forward. A golden light burst forth. Although Soul of the Underworld God was not very strong at this moment, he could constantly receive power from the true form of Underworld God. Therefore, no matter how much energy he expended, he would not be exhausted, which was also why he had the confidence to contend with **Plaque.
Boom!
A loud rumble echoed as Soul of the Underworld God's punch struck the silver light. Instantly, golden and silver lights intertwined. The Seal was specifically designed to counter souls, while Soul of the Underworld God's Underworld King Fist was immensely powerful. The two forces clashed evenly, neither able to gain the upper hand.
However, Xing Chen's attack consumed a significant amount of Soul Power, while Soul of the Underworld God could always draw support from the true form of Underworld God, without worrying about excessive consumption. Thus, although it appeared that both sides were evenly matched, in reality, Soul of the Underworld God held the advantage.
If this continued, Xing Chen would undoubtedly face the fate of being devoured. His only remaining reliance was the Fate Jade Pendant, but Meng Xiner had consistently prevented him from using it for some reason. Therefore, unless absolutely necessary, Xing Chen did not want to resort to this pendant.
“Annihilation Wave!” With his mouth slightly open, an invisible ripple instantly spread outwards. The secret technique recorded in the Soul Devouring Refinement Technique, Annihilation Wave, could instantly annihilate countless Yin Soul Ghostly Entity, and it also carried Xing Chen's ** power, making it even more powerful than the Seal.
“So you are using the soul technique of the Soul Devourer. No wonder I feel a sense of familiarity! However, even if the Soul Devourer were reborn, it would not be able to match me, let alone you, a mere child.” Soul of the Underworld God sneered.
“Wrath of the Underworld God!” At this moment, Soul of the Underworld God also opened his mouth wide as a dark golden ripple spread out and violently collided with Xing Chen's Annihilation Wave.
“Let’s do this!” Gritting his teeth, the **Plaque hovering above his soul transformed into a beam of Silver Light, shooting towards his soul.
“Bewitched by Immortals, Buddhas, and Spirits, **Plaque of the Underworld!”
In a mysterious realm, a voice began to chant slowly. At that moment, Xing Chen's soul transformed into a round sun, but this round sun was entirely silver.
Whoosh!
Above the Round Sun, a silver beam of light shot out, instantly piercing through the Underworld King Armor of the Soul of the Underworld God, penetrating his body before he even had time to react.
As the silver light pierced through the body of the Soul of the Underworld God, Xing Chen's figure reappeared. That strike was the culmination of all his power, and at this moment, he had no combat strength left. However, it was fortunate that his attack had achieved its effect.
"What a powerful force, truly worthy of the Plaque..." The Soul of the Underworld God clutched his chest and looked at the fallen Xing Chen, slowly saying, "But don't think that you can kill me like this. With your strength, it's impossible to suppress me; in the end, you will be the one who dies."
The Soul of the Underworld God spoke as he released his grip, and astonishingly, the wound on his chest began to heal slowly.
"With my true self's support, I can recover from even the most severe injuries. Unless you can annihilate me instantly, you will be killed by me," he declared as his aura suddenly surged.
However, before he could make a move, a Black Jade Pendant shimmering with a faint Black Light appeared before him. Upon seeing this pendant, a hint of fear emerged on the face of the Soul of the Underworld God.
"The Fate Jade Pendant? It's actually the Fate Jade Pendant? I understand now; you must be the inheritor of Punishment!" The Soul of the Underworld God shouted.
The Underworld God clearly knew about Punishment. Back then, Punishment was invincible among humans; no one could match him. Similarly, the Underworld God was also unmatched in the underworld.
Although Punishment was formidable, it was impossible for the Underworld God to heed him from Nine Nether Underworld. However, suddenly someone challenged the Underworld God within the Underworld Palace—this person was Punishment.
When Punishment appeared before the Underworld God, not a single person in the Underworld Palace noticed it. This incident made the Underworld God take Punishment seriously.
After all, his Underworld Palace was guarded by Thirty-Six Demon Lords and Seventy-Two Demon Lords. Anyone who could enter without being detected by these powerful beings was certainly not an ordinary individual.
After battling Punishment, the Underworld God realized that there were indeed beings in this world capable of defeating him. During that battle, even his sword, Sword of the Underworld, nearly got shattered by Punishment's Fate Jade Pendant.
Fortunately, at a critical moment, the Underworld God chose to withdraw and concede. Punishment also refrained from pressing further due to respect for the Underworld God's strength and because they were in his stronghold; thus he left gracefully.
It was after this battle that the Underworld God began to pay attention to humanity. After learning about Punishment's death, he attempted to invade humanity multiple times but failed each time.
However, over these tens of thousands of years, although he had not succeeded in invading humanity, Punishment's Fate Jade Pendant remained vividly imprinted in his mind. Now that he saw this pendant again, how could he not be greatly alarmed?
If his true self were here, it would be fine; even if it were just a clone, it wouldn't matter. However, the issue with the steward is that he is neither the true self nor a clone; he is a fragment of the soul and cannot possibly contend with the Fate Jade Pendant.
Buzz!
At this moment, the Fate Jade Pendant trembled slightly and then suddenly transformed into a beam of Black Light that shot towards the Soul of the Underworld God. This Black Light carried an extremely dangerous aura that instantly penetrated the Soul of the Underworld God.
"Run!" The Soul of the Underworld God’s face changed dramatically as he attempted to escape, but the Fate Jade Pendant had already sealed off this area. No matter how powerful he was, there was no way for him to escape.
"Ah—" With no way to flee, the Soul of the Underworld God was struck by the Black Light emitted from the Fate Jade Pendant. His soul began to dissolve in an instant, and the Underworld King Armor shattered immediately. He let out a piercing scream.
"Fate Jade Pendant?" Xing Chen was momentarily stunned. He had not controlled the Fate Jade Pendant to deal with the Soul of the Underworld God; it acted entirely on its own. However, being able to kill the Soul of the Underworld God was certainly a good thing, so Xing Chen quickly regained his composure.
"Child, quickly absorb this Soul of the Underworld God! His power is immense, and absorbing him will surely enhance your Soul Power significantly." At that moment, the Hate Emperor, who had just vanished, suddenly reappeared and shouted loudly.
"Hate Emperor?" Xing Chen was once again taken aback upon seeing the Hate Emperor appear. Just moments ago, he had called for him but received no response; why did he suddenly show up now?
"Child, what are you dawdling for? Quickly command the Fate Jade Pendant to stop attacking and absorb the Soul of the Underworld God!" the Hate Emperor bellowed.
