Death Grip
In the following days, Xing Chen kept trying to communicate with the Fate Jade Pendant. However, despite its restless movements, the Fate Jade Pendant was unable to break free from the chains binding Xing Chen, remaining suppressed.
"Damn it, what material is this made of that even the Fate Jade Pendant cannot break its restraints?" Flames of anger flickered in Xing Chen's eyes. The chains binding him possessed a strange energy that not only suppressed the Demonic Aura within Xing Chen but also prevented the Fate Jade Pendant from resisting this force.
"Xing Chen, still no luck?" Meng Xiner looked at Xing Chen, her delicate face slightly pale.
"No, this power is too strong; it completely suppresses the Fate Jade Pendant. Right now, I can't connect with the Fate Jade Pendant at all. It seems difficult to rely on its power to break free from this place!" Xing Chen's expression darkened, and his gaze flickered slightly.
"My power is sealed as well; I can't help you..." Meng Xiner said, biting her lip.
Her powers were sealed by the Underworld God Seal, rendering her no different from an ordinary person. In this Underworld Abyss, she was even weaker than an ordinary person!
"Meng Xiner, no matter what, I will take you out of here!" A determined look flashed in Xing Chen's eyes as he closed them again to communicate with the Fate Jade Pendant.
In his sea of consciousness, the Fate Jade Pendant was bound by countless Black Chains and could not move at all. Meanwhile, Xing Chen's soul was also restrained and could not approach the Fate Jade Pendant.
"What do I need to do to get close to the Fate Jade Pendant and regain its powerful strength?" Xing Chen pondered endlessly in his mind. The impact of these Black Chains on him was immense; he couldn't move at all, let alone touch the Fate Jade Pendant to gain its power.
"Xing Chen..." Meng Xiner looked up at Xing Chen with a worried expression. She didn't know if Xing Chen could regain the power of the Fate Jade Pendant again. Regardless of whether he ultimately obtained its power or not, that was not what Meng Xiner wanted to see.
After all, if Xing Chen couldn't gain the power of the Fate Jade Pendant, they might very well die here. Conversely, if he did obtain its power, his mind would surely be controlled by the Fate Jade Pendant again, which was also something Meng Xiner did not want to see.
"Damn it! Still no luck; my power is completely bound. My soul can't move at all; I can only communicate with the Fate Jade Pendant through thought. But relying solely on the Fate Jade Pendant's power won't break these Black Chains' restraints. What should I do?" Xing Chen felt anxious but could do nothing.
"Wait a minute! I just remembered that although these chains are incredibly powerful, they must be objects of the Underworld. If I want to deal with Underworld objects, then the most effective method is... Plaque..." At that moment, Xing Chen recalled Plaque, which had helped him countless times before. Now that Plaque's power resided within Meng Xiner's body, if he could access that power, he could surely break these Black Chains without needing to rely on the Fate Jade Pendant.
"Meng Xiner, can you still use Plaque's power?" Xing Chen opened his eyes and looked at Meng Xiner.
As long as the power of **Plaque can still be utilized, he can break free from his restraints and continue to use this power to bind the Fate Jade Pendant, preventing it from affecting him.
"It’s possible, but how am I supposed to transfer this power to you?" Meng Xiner asked, a hint of joy appearing on her delicate face as she sensed the situation.
"Can you come up? As long as you can reach my body, you can transfer that power to me," Xing Chen said after a moment of thought, looking at Meng Xiner.
"I should be able to..." Meng Xiner glanced around and nodded slowly.
The surrounding stone pillars were entwined with many Black Chains. If she climbed up these Black Chains, she would be able to reach Xing Chen's side.
"Then hurry up! This time, I’m sure that with the power of **Plaque**, I have a ninety percent chance of breaking free from these chains!" Xing Chen said, his face showing a joyful expression.
"Okay!" Meng Xiner nodded gently, then lightly leaped onto one of the Black Chains.
However, since her Vital Energy was sealed, it was difficult for her to maintain balance. She swayed back and forth like walking on a tightrope, as if she could fall at any moment.
"Meng Xin'er, focus!" Xing Chen called out, watching Meng Xiner sway unsteadily.
"I'm fine," Meng Xiner managed to stabilize herself and smiled at Xing Chen.
Carefully, she began to move forward, gradually getting closer to Xing Chen. Meanwhile, the chains beneath her feet continued to shake, causing her body to sway as well.
"Be careful!" Xing Chen reminded her again, his eyes filled with deep concern. They were now nearly ten meters above the ground. While this height might not have been significant before, without her Vital Energy for protection, if she fell now, it would surely be fatal.
Meng Xiner bit her lip tightly and didn’t say a word. All her attention was focused on the Black Chains beneath her feet; she couldn’t afford to be distracted. A moment's lapse could lead to a fall.
Gradually, Meng Xiner got closer to Xing Chen, but moving upward became increasingly difficult. When only five meters remained, she finally found herself unable to move forward any longer.
Because the chain had become incredibly steep at this moment, she would definitely fall if she continued to climb up.
"Meng Xin'er, if you can't do it, just come down! I can think of another way; we don't necessarily have to rely on the power of the Plaque," Xing Chen said, looking at Meng Xiner, who was so close.
"No, I'm almost there! Just a little bit more and I can reach you. I won't give up so easily!" Meng Xiner replied stubbornly.
"This is too dangerous; you need to come down now!" Xing Chen urged anxiously.
"I won't go back after coming this far." Meng Xiner lightly bit her lip and then made a very dangerous move; she pushed off slightly with her feet and leaped forward.
"Don't!" Xing Chen shouted in alarm upon seeing her action. He knew that Meng Xiner was no different from an ordinary person right now; how could she possibly jump more than five meters?
However, Xing Chen's words were too late. Meng Xiner's body had already leaped into the air, her face showing an unwavering determination as if she had to reach Xing Chen's Divine Weapon.
"Xing Chen, no matter what, you must escape from here..." Meng Xiner whispered softly as her delicate body crashed into Xing Chen's chest. If Xing Chen's arms could move, he could have held her right now, but his arms were bound by the chains and unable to move. Although Meng Xiner had embraced Xing Chen, she lacked the strength to hold on.
Meng Xiner had nearly exhausted herself getting here; at this moment, having barely jumped in front of Xing Chen, she simply didn't have the strength to hold him anymore.
"Meng Xin'er..." Xing Chen shouted desperately, but Meng Xiner's body quickly began to slide down.
At the same time, a silver light flashed across her body and merged into Xing Chen. This merging of silver light caused a powerful force to erupt from the soul within Xing Chen.
The blinding silver light exploded in his consciousness, directly breaking the Black Chains that bound him.
These Black Chains were called Zhen Shen Chain; according to legend, they could even suppress gods. However, when faced with the power of the Plaque, they were as weak as tofu and could not bind Xing Chen at all.
With a bang, after his soul broke free from its restraints, the immense power within him surged instantly. He exerted a slight force, and the Zhen Shen Chain that bound him was immediately broken free.
Ah—
Xing Chen let out a furious roar that echoed straight to Nine Heavens, causing the entire Underworld Abyss to tremble. At the same time, the Zhen Shen Chain binding him began to shatter piece by piece, unable to restrain him in the slightest.
"Meng Xin'er..." After breaking free from the Zhen Shen Chain, Xing Chen took a step forward and instantly appeared on the ground, catching the falling Meng Xiner.
"Let's go, we need to leave quickly!" After catching Meng Xiner, Xing Chen moved slightly and vanished into thin air. Just as he disappeared, the figure of the Underworld God appeared in the Underworld Abyss.
Looking at the chaotic scene before him, the Underworld God's expression was extremely dark. A terrifying aura emanated from him, causing the surrounding Vital Energy to surge violently.
"They actually escaped! They managed to escape right under my nose. Good, good, good!!! Truly worthy of being the Inheritor of Punishment; their strength is indeed formidable. Even bound by the Zhen Shen Chain, they could still flee." The Underworld God muttered to himself with a grim expression, his eyes flickering with two balls of ghostly fire.
"Everyone listen up! Seal off the entire sea area and capture Xing Chen. No one is allowed to enter or exit at will. Anyone who dares to disobey will be killed without mercy!"
After venting his anger for a while, the Underworld God spoke in an extremely cold voice.
At this moment, all Thirty-Six Demon Lords and Seventy-Two Demon Lords sprang into action. The entire sea area had fallen under the control of the Underworld God; if he wanted to seal it off, even a Diviner would not be able to escape unnoticed.
