Death Grip
"Damn it, what's wrong with being reactive?" Hate Emperor said defiantly.
"Nothing at all, we’re just casual!" Xing Chen and the others replied simultaneously.
This attitude left Hate Emperor feeling frustrated, but he had no outlet for his emotions.
"Alright, Hate Emperor, quickly tell us where Ice and Snow Inheritance is!" Xing Chen asked. He didn't know the location of Ice and Snow Inheritance, and among them, probably only Hate Emperor knew.
"It's in Glacier Gorge, where the temperature drops to several thousand degrees below zero. You all better be prepared, or don’t blame me for not warning you if you end up frozen like popsicles," Emperor of Thunder Punishment said.
"Don't worry, I cultivate the fire Divine Lord's Cultivation Method, and my Sun God Arrow can counter all cold attribute Cultivation Methods. I’m not worried about being frozen," Mo Feiyu said confidently.
"I cultivate an ice attribute Cultivation Method, so I’m not worried either!" Ouyang Zhenhai shrugged.
"Senior Brother Ouyang will take me along, so I’m not worried," Xue said, holding onto Ouyang Zhenhai's arm.
"Haha, I'm not worried either. Meng Xin'er's ice attribute Cultivation Method can also take me and Xueqing Senior Sister in," Xing Chen said with a smile.
"I'm even less worried; my disciple Feiyu will take me in. His fire attribute Cultivation Method is perfect for countering ice. It’s fine if he just takes me along," Wind God Lord said.
In the end, it turned out that only Hate Emperor was left alone without anyone to accompany him. However, he didn’t care; as a Junjingjie, he would never be frozen. He just had to endure a bit more discomfort.
"What the hell, how can you all do this?" Hate Emperor shouted. He kindly reminded these people, but in the end, he was left without anyone to take care of him and had to face the terrifying cold alone. Although he could handle it, he felt unhappy about it!
"Alright, enough nonsense. Let’s go find the Ice and Snow Inheritance!" Xing Chen shook his head and said.
Everyone nodded in agreement and immediately tore open the space, heading towards Glacier Gorge.
Half a moment later, Glacier Gorge!
The figures of Xing Chen and the others slowly emerged, and indeed, it was as the Hate Emperor had described—bone-chilling cold, a place unfit for humans to stay.
Fortunately, Meng Xiner reacted quickly and took out the Ice Snow Imperial Seal to block the biting cold wind that rushed towards them, protecting Xing Chen and Xueqing within it.
Mo Feiyu was also suddenly enveloped in a thick flame, wrapping himself and Wind God Lord completely in it.
Ouyang Zhenhai similarly emitted an ice-blue glow, encasing himself and snow within it. Only Hate Emperor alone pitifully released a black shield, lonely in his defense against the icy onslaught.
"You can fully activate the Ice Snow Imperial Seal to attract the Ice and Snow Inheritance!" Hate Emperor said slowly as he glanced at Meng Xiner.
"Yes!" Meng Xiner nodded, her Vital Energy surging wildly towards the Ice Snow Imperial Seal at that moment. The powerful Vital Energy flowed into it, causing the Ice Snow Imperial Seal to float high into the air, releasing brilliant light. The ice-blue glow intertwined with the Ice and Snow Inheritance, and they soon saw a massive Ice Palace rapidly flying towards them.
"The Ice and Snow Inheritance has appeared." Hate Emperor's face showed a hint of excitement upon seeing this Inheritance. After all, this was the Inheritance of the Ice Snow Sovereign! It was the Inheritance of someone Hate Emperor had always admired.
"Meng Xin'er, go quickly! I believe you can obtain the Inheritance," Xing Chen said to Meng Xiner.
"Yes!" Meng Xiner gently nodded. Then, with a movement of her delicate body, she flew towards the Ice and Snow Inheritance.
The Ice Palace gradually came to a stop before Meng Xiner, waiting for her entry. Without any hesitation, Meng Xiner flew right in.
"I hope everything goes smoothly; then we can head straight back to the Eastern Region," Xing Chen thought to himself while his gaze remained fixed on the Ice and Snow Inheritance, as if trying to see through the icy barrier to catch a glimpse of Meng Xiner inside.
"Alright, stop looking. Just wait here peacefully. She has the Ice Snow Imperial Seal, so she will definitely be fine," said Hate Emperor.
"Mm." Xing Chen nodded. He also didn't think Meng Xiner would run into trouble. After all, although Meng Xiner's cultivation level was somewhat low, she possessed the Ice Snow Imperial Seal, which was enough to compensate for her lower cultivation level.
The cold wind continued to blow fiercely around them, and Xing Chen and the others waited here for more than half a month. During this time, there was no sign of Meng Xiner coming out, but the Ice Palace kept emitting light, proving that Meng Xiner was definitely safe.
"Hate Emperor, have your Underworld God people already taken over your Hate Sea Region?" Xing Chen asked out of boredom.
"That's quite possible. Even the Divine Wind Sea has likely fallen into their hands. After all, the Underworld Army is continuously entering the human realm, and there are no super strong guardians in the sea area, so it's normal for it to be taken over," Hate Emperor replied with a nod.
"It seems the sea area is really going to fall," Xing Chen sighed and shook his head. Just then, Meng Xiner appeared before everyone again after completing her Inheritance.
"Meng Xiner, how did it go?" Xing Chen asked nervously as he looked at Meng Xiner.
"Hehe, there's no problem at all. My strength has now reached the Initial Stage of the Void Integration," Meng Xiner said with a cheerful smile.
"That's great! Let's hurry to the Eastern Region!" Xing Chen exclaimed with joy.
"Sure!" A beautiful smile also appeared on Meng Xiner's lovely face.
"Wait a minute..." At that moment, Hate Emperor suddenly called out and pulled Xing Chen over, looking coldly at Meng Xiner.
"This trick might work on others, but it won't fool me. Are you going to reveal your true self on your own, or do I have to force you to show it?" Hate Emperor sneered.
"What are you talking about?" A look of confusion appeared on Meng Xiner's face as she turned to Xing Chen with a somewhat pitiful expression. "Xing Chen, I..."
"Illusion Demon Lord, how long are you going to keep pretending?" Hate Emperor shouted loudly.
Illusion Demon Lord, one of the Seventy-Two Demon Lords under Underworld God, is skilled in illusion and can take on the appearance of anyone, even replicating their aura perfectly.
"Illusion Demon Lord?" Xing Chen's pupils constricted, revealing a look of vigilance and anger in his eyes.
"Hehe... I didn't expect you to recognize me, Hate Emperor. It's been a while, and your eyesight has improved quite a bit! I remember when I transformed into Ice Snow Sovereign to seduce you, you had no power to resist at all!" Illusion Demon Lord, disguised as Meng Xiner, said with a playful laugh.
"Hmph, stop the nonsense, Illusion Demon Lord. Since you're here, don't even think about leaving!" Hate Emperor snorted coldly, and at the same time, his powerful aura from Junjingjie pressed down towards Illusion Demon Lord.
"Xing Chen, can you really bear to let him kill me?" Illusion Demon Lord looked at Xing Chen with tear-filled eyes. At this moment, she still appeared as Meng Xiner, which did have some influence on Xing Chen. However, Xing Chen resolutely ignored her and entrusted everything to Hate Emperor to handle.
After all, although this was not the real Meng Xiner, Xing Chen still found it hard to act against her because she looked exactly like Meng Xiner. How could Xing Chen bring himself to do it?
"Die!" Hate Emperor was not like Xing Chen. He was unaffected by Meng Xiner.
"Hate Emperor, can you really bring yourself to do it?" The figure of Illusion Demon Lord suddenly shifted slightly and in an instant transformed into a woman dressed in white with an icy expression.
However, although this woman had an extremely cold demeanor, she was also stunningly beautiful. This person was none other than Ice Snow Sovereign, one of the Sea Domain's Ten Great Emperors, and someone whom Hate Emperor had feelings for.
"Ice Snow has long been dead. If you dare to desecrate her memory, I will kill you right now!" With gritted teeth, Hate Emperor swung his Hate Demon Sword fiercely at Illusion Demon Lord.
"Phantom Divine Fist!" Seeing that this attack was ineffective, Illusion Demon Lord stopped pretending to be weak and directly launched a powerful punch.
Boom!
With a loud bang, the punch from the Illusion Demon Lord collided fiercely with the sword light of the Hate Emperor. The powerful force spread out, causing the entire icy gorge to tremble, as if it could collapse at any moment.
"Breaking through to Jungjing is indeed impressive, Hate Emperor. Your strength has certainly improved significantly, but in front of my Underworld Army, you are still like an ant. If you are wise, you should quickly submit to our Underworld to avoid death," the Illusion Demon Lord slowly spoke.
"Hate Emperor, don't get your hopes up. I will never submit to your Underworld," the Hate Emperor replied coldly, and the Illusion Demon Lord said nothing further.
Suddenly, a faint glow flickered around her, and the image of the Ice Snow Sovereign vanished, replaced by a woman dressed in black with an enchanting appearance. This was the true form of the Illusion Demon Lord.
"Hate Emperor, since it has come to this, I will no longer say anything. I hope you can survive under my Underworld army," the Illusion Demon Lord said as she intended to leave. After all, she could not contend against so many powerful opponents alone.
"Want to leave? It's not that easy!" Xing Chen said as he flashed beside the Illusion Demon Lord. At the same time, lightning crackled in his hand as a purple-golden spear appeared.
Die!
A cold light flickered in Xing Chen's eyes as he thrust the spear forward, instantly piercing through the Illusion Demon Lord's chest.
"Xing Chen..." As the Illusion Demon Lord looked up at Xing Chen, her face transformed into that of Meng Xin'er, gazing at him with a look of sorrow and tears brimming in her beautiful eyes.
"Meng Xin'er..." Xing Chen was slightly taken aback and softly called her name. However, at that moment, the Illusion Demon Lord suddenly struck out and hit Xing Chen with a palm.
