Death Grip
A wave of terror instantly spread out, and the Yellow Spring River was suddenly filled within a radius of hundreds of miles. The space within that range also collapsed and perished, even the swords in the hands of the Hate Emperor and Yellow Spring Demon Lord turned to nothingness at that moment. One can imagine the extent of power this strike possessed.
“Demon Suppression Seal!” Although the Hate Demon Sword in his hand had shattered, the Hate Emperor did not hesitate for a moment and instantly unleashed Divine-Level Martial Arts, the Demon Suppression Seal.
Accompanied by a resounding Surging Dragon's Roar echoing through the Nine Heavens, a Black Magic Dragon burst forth from between the hands of the Hate Emperor, charging towards the opposing Yellow Spring Demon Lord.
“Do you really think I'm easy to bully?” Although the Yellow Spring Demon Lord suffered some damage from the shockwave, it did not affect his speed in launching an attack.
“Hades Palm!”
The Yellow Spring River quickly converged, and a massive shadow of a palm appeared in mid-air, obscuring the sun as it came crashing down, while the Black Magic Dragon roared in fury as if trying to break through nine layers of heaven.
Boom!
The two forces collided violently, creating a powerful storm that swept through. Both the Hate Emperor and Yellow Spring Demon Lord were pushed back by the recoil, and after stabilizing their forms with great difficulty, they both looked at each other warily.
“I didn't expect that under these circumstances you could still match me evenly. You truly deserve to be one of the Sea Domain's Ten Great Emperors,” said the Yellow Spring Demon Lord, his gaze cold as he stared at the Hate Emperor.
“Enough talk. Today, I will leave you here for good,” replied the Hate Emperor, as a brilliant Black Light erupted from him, instantly enveloping thousands of miles in a dark Demonic Aura.
“Hate Demon Domain!” The Hate Emperor spread his arms wide as endless Demonic Aura surged from his body, forming a powerful Hate Demon Domain.
The Hate Demon Domain is a demonic realm created by the Hate Emperor using boundless hatred and overwhelming Demonic Aura. Anyone within this domain will be invaded by immense hatred, causing their combat power to drop by at least thirty percent.
Moreover, with the suppression of the surrounding Demonic Aura, their combat power would decrease by another twenty percent. Thus, once entering the Hate Demon Domain, one's combat power would instantly be halved.
"Boasting without shame, a mere Hate Demon Domain thinks it can trap me!" The Yellow Spring Demon Lord snorted coldly, and immediately the Yellow Spring River around him spread out, forming a Yellow Spring Ghost Realm that stood in opposition to the Hate Emperor's Hate Demon Domain.
"What is happening? Why has it suddenly turned so dark around us?" Mo Feiyu and the others saw the surroundings instantly become pitch black, and their expressions changed dramatically. However, even though they were in the Hate Demon Domain, they were not affected by its negative influence.
"It’s Xing Chen's demon domain. Here, we will be protected by Xing Chen's power. As long as Xing Chen is alive, no one can harm us." Xue Qingmei glanced around and immediately realized that this was the demon domain released by Xing Chen.
She knew about demon domains because her Divine Wind Emperor Technique also recorded a cultivation method for a type of 'domain', which is the Divine Wind Domain.
"Sister, will Xing Chen be in danger? That person seems very strong..." The usually silent Xue spoke up at this moment.
"We must trust Xing Chen. He will definitely be fine." Xueqing looked at Xue and forced a somewhat unnatural smile.
Meanwhile, outside, the Hate Emperor's Hate Demon Domain and the Yellow Spring Demon Lord's Yellow Spring Ghost Realm remained in a stalemate, with neither side able to gain the upper hand.
"Hate Emperor, if this continues, we won't reach any conclusion. At most, it will end in mutual destruction. I believe you don't want to see such a situation either. How about we stop here? You go your way, and I'll go mine; let's not interfere with each other." The Yellow Spring Demon Lord frowned.
"Dream on! I intend to drag this out with you. I don't believe you can outlast me." The Hate Emperor sneered. His Hate Demon Body could absorb the surrounding Vital Energy at any time to convert it into pure Demonic Aura, replenishing his own losses.
The Yellow Spring Demon Lord, however, did not have this ability. Therefore, in a war of attrition, victory would certainly belong to the Hate Emperor.
"You are forcing me to kill you; you better think this through. Once I summon the great Underworld God, you will definitely be the one who dies in the end." The Yellow Spring Demon Lord glared at the Hate Emperor with hatred.
Although the Underworld God was currently in the Nine Nether Underworld, he could use a method similar to Soul Possession to communicate with the Underworld God, summoning a fragment of his soul to descend here and help him eliminate the Hate Emperor.
The reason he had been reluctant to use this method was that once he did so, while the Soul of the Underworld God could descend, his own actions would thereafter be controlled by the Underworld God.
He had not yet enjoyed his carefree days enough, so naturally, he did not want to submit to anyone so soon. Moreover, he had noticed something: the sea area no longer had the Emperor of Thunder Punishment. As long as he regained his strength, he could conquer the entire sea with his own power and then use the Dragon Ball to find the Strongest Inheritance mentioned in legends. Then he could leap to become an existence surpassing the Underworld God and no longer be subject to anyone.
"If you have the ability, summon it. I want to see how powerful the Underworld God you summon can be." The Hate Emperor was not intimidated by him at all; instead, he fully activated the Hate Demon Domain, overpowering the Yellow Spring Ghost Realm and ultimately capturing and even killing the Yellow Spring Demon Lord.
"Hate Emperor, don't force me! If I really summon the Soul of the Underworld God, it will definitely not be good for you. You still have time to retreat now." The Yellow Spring Demon Lord shouted. At this moment, he was gradually unable to withstand the Hate Emperor's Hate Demon Domain. If the Hate Emperor did not stop, he would have no choice but to summon a fragment of the Underworld God's soul to descend here.
Seeing this situation, a look of hesitation appeared on the Hate Emperor's face. After all, he knew the power of the Soul of the Underworld God, and Xing Chen currently lacked the power of the Plaque. It would be nearly impossible for him to suppress a Soul of the Underworld God again.
"Hate Emperor, you can't let this Rascal go! Are you really afraid of the Soul of the Underworld God in your current state?" Xing Chen shouted in his consciousness.
"You don't understand; the power of the Soul of the Underworld God is absolutely beyond what I can contend with right now. To counter it, I must at least recover to the Peak of the Void Realm or even reach Transcend the Void's Soul Power," the Hate Emperor frowned and said.
"Are we really going to let him go like this?" Xing Chen gritted his teeth. According to his thoughts, this Yellow Spring Demon Lord must not be spared because he not only knew where the Dragon Ball was located but also came from Nine Nether Underworld and likely possessed Underworld Blood Fruit. Furthermore, since he had previously injured Xueqing, there was no way Xing Chen would let him go.
"There’s no choice because even using the Fate Jade Pendant would not easily erase a Soul of the Underworld God. Last time his fragment was erased by the Fate Jade Pendant; when he descends again into this world, he will definitely be prepared. Therefore, that same trick will absolutely not work," said the Hate Emperor helplessly.
"Hate Emperor, will you stop or not? If this continues, don’t blame me for not giving you a chance," roared the Yellow Spring Demon Lord. His Yellow Spring Ghost Realm had already been eroded by one-third by the Hate Demon Domain. If this continued for much longer, he would soon be completely surrounded by it, and at that time, the Hate Emperor would surely take advantage and kill him.
"Fine, I will let you go this time. If you dare provoke me again in the future, don’t blame me for completely slaying you," said the Hate Emperor after a long moment of contemplation.
"You're smart!" said the Yellow Spring Demon Lord. "Quickly withdraw your Hate Demon Domain; I will leave immediately and absolutely will not disturb you in any way."
"Withdraw!" With a thought from the Hate Emperor, the surrounding Hate Demon Domain instantly vanished. At that same moment, the Yellow Spring Ghost Realm also disappeared.
"I’m leaving now, Hate Emperor. We’ll fight again next time." The Yellow Spring Demon Lord moved and instantly transformed into a beam of Yellow Light, disappearing into the distance.
"Junior Brother, how are you?" Seeing the Yellow Spring Demon Lord flee, Xueqing and the others showed concern on their faces. After all, the departure of the Yellow Spring Demon Lord meant that Xing Chen had not defeated him; otherwise, the Yellow Spring Demon Lord would surely have been killed.
"I'm fine, Senior Brothers and Sisters don't need to worry," Xing Chen regained control of his body and looked at Xueqing and the others. "The Yellow Spring Demon Lord has a powerful trump card, so I didn't dare to act rashly. I had no choice but to let him go for now."
"As long as you're okay, that's all that matters," Xueqing said with a hint of tears in her eyes as she looked at Xing Chen.
Although she had shown enough trust in Xing Chen earlier, believing he could win, she was actually very worried about him. Now that she saw he was safe, she couldn't help but feel overwhelmed with joy.
"Alright, Senior Sister, I'm fine now. You don't need to worry about me. What should we do next? Should we leave Lianyao Tower or..." Xing Chen reached out to wipe away the tears on Xueqing's face and smiled.
"Junior Brother, I see that your realm has already reached the critical point of Gaze of Life, and you can break through to Glimpse of Objects at any time. How about I take you to a place to break through?" At this moment, Mo Feiyu stepped forward.
"Oh? Senior Brother, do you know a place where I can break through?" A hint of joy appeared on Xing Chen's face. After all, his biggest concern right now was his strength. If he could break through quickly, that would be even better.
"Follow me!" Mo Feiyu smiled mysteriously and then spoke.
The group followed Mo Feiyu as they rushed forward. However, none of them noticed that the Demon Dragon, who had been knocked unconscious by Feng Yan earlier, had not perished in that terrifying aftermath.
