Death Grip
This Mysterious Jade Pendant was naturally summoned by Xing Chen. Initially, he only had a mindset of trying it out and did not expect to succeed, but unexpectedly, the Mysterious Jade Pendant really responded to his call and appeared.
With the appearance of the Mysterious Jade Pendant, a look of terror instantly flashed in Hate Emperor's eyes, as if he had seen something extraordinarily frightening.
"How could it be the Fate Jade Pendant? You... you..." Hate Emperor looked at the Mysterious Jade Pendant, unable to hide the fear in his eyes, and at the same time, his body began to tremble.
Seeing Hate Emperor's reaction, Xing Chen couldn't help but feel slightly puzzled. Although the Mysterious Jade Pendant was impressive, it shouldn't instill such fear in a legendary Emperor of Thunder Punishment. What could possibly frighten a legendary Emperor of Thunder Punishment to this extent? Perhaps even the top-tier Divine Weapon or Spirit-Level Divine Weapon mentioned in legends wouldn't be able to achieve this!
Moreover, from Hate Emperor's words, it seemed he recognized this Mysterious Jade Pendant and referred to it as the ‘Fate Jade Pendant’. Although there were characters related to fate on the pendant, one couldn't simply conclude that it was indeed the Fate Jade Pendant based solely on that.
"Stop... please stop... don't let that pendant get near me..." Hate Emperor, looking at the slowly approaching Fate Jade Pendant, retreated in terror. He wanted to distance himself from Xing Chen, but tragically discovered that he was already trapped by the power of the Fate Jade Pendant, making escape impossible.
"Do you recognize the Fate Jade Pendant?" Xing Chen's soul slightly stirred, signaling for the Fate Jade Pendant to halt. This time, the Fate Jade Pendant complied with Xing Chen, pausing momentarily; however, the eerie Black Light emanating from it still filled Hate Emperor with dread.
"How could the Fate Jade Pendant be in your hands? Could it be that you are..." Hate Emperor, as if recalling some terrifying existence, immediately fell silent.
"What am I? Go on! Otherwise, don't blame me for erasing you with the Fate Jade Pendant." Hearing Hate Emperor's words, a ripple surged in Xing Chen's eyes. He keenly sensed that this Hate Emperor likely knew something important related to his origins.
"Are you... are you a descendant of Punishment? Otherwise, how could you possess his Fate Jade Pendant?" Hate Emperor, trembling slightly, cast a fearful glance at the floating Fate Jade Pendant.
"Who is Punishment? Speak clearly!" Xing Chen's gaze flickered as he asked again, while secretly pondering: Punishment, Punishment, could this person truly be related to him?
Although their surnames are pronounced the same but written differently, the name Xing Chen originally came from the Fate Jade Pendant. At that time, he did not know whether it was 'Xin' or 'Xin', so there is nothing wrong with this point.
If his speculation is correct, then he would not be called Xing Chen, but rather Xing Chen. However, whether this is the case still needs to be clarified.
"Punishment is the strongest in Ancient Times, his cultivation is unmatched, and no one can rival him. However, this person is particularly bloodthirsty and cruel, provoking the Six Domains War for no reason..." The Hate Emperor slowly recounted out of fear of the Fate Jade Pendant.
Xing Chen gradually understood what was going on. Punishment was indeed the strongest in Ancient Times, and no one knew about Punishment's origins or childhood; he seemed to have appeared out of nowhere, and upon his arrival, he possessed unmatched strength.
At that time, even the strongest in the Eastern Region, the seven lords acting together were not his match. The battle between them ended in a stalemate with both sides suffering heavy losses.
In the end, due to Punishment's actions that were intolerable and had reached a point of public outrage, nearly twenty lords and hundreds of Emperors of Thunder Punishment gathered to jointly besiege Punishment.
Moreover, from the Five Great Domains in the east, west, south, and north, they took out their respective Divine Weapons to suppress luck, and an extraordinary battle commenced.
However, Punishment's strength was too formidable. Even though they brought out five supreme Divine Weapons, they still suffered heavy losses. The Azure Dragon Divine Weapon of the Eastern Region was directly shattered by Punishment's Fate Jade Pendant during this battle.
Among those who participated in besieging Punishment, only a very few managed to escape. The seven lords of the Eastern Region and dozens of Emperors of Thunder Punishment were almost entirely lost in this battle. Furthermore, without the Azure Dragon Divine Weapon to suppress luck, the luck of the Eastern Region has been declining ever since. Now they cannot even produce a single strong Gaze of Fate. If it weren't for Xing Chen obtaining the Holy Fire Elixir and Thunderfire Divine Pill, Yun Qing would likely still be wandering in the Half-Step Soul-Searching Realm!
The Hate Demon Lord is one of those who escaped during that great battle.
After that battle, Punishment was severely injured and soon disappeared without a trace. Some say he died; others say he entered seclusion to heal. However, no one knows for sure what happened.
Even the family he established, the Xing Family, does not know the specifics of Punishment. However, countless years have passed, and it is unlikely that Punishment is still alive.
“Punishment, Xing Family…” Xing Chen murmured. The Xing Family is a force located in Zhongzhou. Although it is no longer the top power in Zhongzhou since Punishment's disappearance, it is still definitely a first-rate force.
“Could it be that I am a member of this Xing Family?” Xing Chen thought to himself. If what the Hate Emperor said is correct, then there is more than an 80% chance that he is related to this Xing Family and even has some connection to Punishment. Otherwise, how could this Fate Jade Pendant appear on him?
“You… are you really a descendant of Punishment?” The Hate Emperor looked at Xing Chen and asked with difficulty.
“Since you know the power of the Fate Jade Pendant, then you should know what to do next without me telling you, right?” Xing Chen coldly stared at the Hate Emperor. At the same time, the Fate Jade Pendant above him flickered with light, its threatening intent unmistakable.
“I understand, I will leave right now…” The Hate Emperor said with a forced smile. However, how could Xing Chen simply let him go?
“Leave? Nice thought, but this dream isn’t suitable for nighttime.” A hint of mockery appeared in Xing Chen's eyes as he controlled the Fate Jade Pendant to slowly approach the Hate Emperor's soul.
“Don’t! Don’t let it come near me… What do you want? I will definitely listen to you…” The Hate Emperor screamed in fear. It was clear that his terror of the Fate Jade Pendant was genuine and not feigned in any way.
