Death Grip
"Thus, this person relied on the boundless hatred in his heart, that dissatisfaction with the world, and ultimately created this astonishing Cultivation Method, Hate Emperor's Art."
"However, it was also for the sake of creating this Hate Emperor's Art that this person eventually died from exhaustion. Although he perished, this Hate Emperor's Art has been passed down and ultimately obtained by me," the Hate Emperor said with a sigh.
"To be honest, before acquiring the Hate Emperor's Art, my aptitude was exceptionally poor, absolutely the lowest among all cultivators."
"But I was unwilling to fall behind others and harbored deep resentment towards those who had better talents and extraordinary Cultivation Methods while I had nothing."
"As time passed, the hatred in my heart grew stronger. Later, by chance, I obtained this Hate Emperor's Art. This Hate Emperor's Art allows one to cultivate by harnessing boundless hatred; the deeper the hatred, the faster the cultivation speed. After acquiring this Cultivation Method, my cultivation speed truly soared, and those who had bullied and mocked me were all killed by me."
Xing Chen listened quietly to the words of the Hate Emperor. He realized that the Hate Emperor was quite similar to himself; he too had been unable to cultivate at first. Although he did not have the same good fortune as the Hate Emperor, his cultivation speed gradually improved due to the hatred in his heart.
If what was described in the Hate Emperor's Art was true, then this Cultivation Method was indeed tailor-made for him.
"I initially relied on this Hate Emperor's Art to become wealthy and ultimately became a generation's Emperor of Thunder Punishment. The reason I call myself the Hate Emperor is to remind myself of the Hate Emperor's Art and the person who created it; otherwise, I might have long since disappeared into the river of time," the Hate Emperor sighed.
"The Hate Emperor's Art... is indeed hateful, and it is very suitable for me. However, I still do not trust you. Who knows if you have tampered with the Cultivation Method?" Xing Chen pondered for a moment before speaking.
"You vile brat! With my status and position, even if you controlled me, I wouldn't resort to such means to deceive you," the Hate Emperor said angrily.
"Hmph! Who can guarantee that? Even if you deceive me, I would be the one suffering in the end. You naturally have no pressure now," Xing Chen scoffed, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes.
"Alright, since that's the case, then you shouldn't cultivate my Hate Emperor's Art. You can leave that Extreme Evil Demon Stone alone as well." The Hate Emperor listened to Xing Chen's words, his teeth itching with anger, though as a soul, he obviously had no teeth...
"If you won't let me cultivate it, then I will cultivate it anyway." Xing Chen pouted and immediately sat cross-legged, beginning to practice according to the methods in the Hate Emperor's Art.
Buzz!
As the Hate Emperor's Art operated, a humming sound resonated around them. The Demonic Aura emanating from the Extreme Evil Demon Stone surged toward Xing Chen like a tidal wave.
Black Light flickered continuously around Xing Chen as endless Demonic Aura rushed in, being absorbed into his body. Meanwhile, the Hate Emperor in Xing Chen's sea of consciousness also showed an excited expression at this sight.
"Indeed... indeed... I was right; this child is absolutely the most suitable person for cultivating the Hate Emperor's Art. In fact, this Hate Emperor's Art is tailor-made for him." The Hate Emperor muttered excitedly in Xing Chen's sea of consciousness.
His excitement stemmed from not having given up on the idea of devouring Xing Chen's soul to occupy his body. Allowing Xing Chen to cultivate the Hate Emperor's Art was merely an experiment to see how far he could go. This way, after he devoured Xing Chen's soul, he would be able to practice it more easily.
"This Hate Emperor's Art is indeed powerful; in just a short moment, it has already equaled several hours of my usual cultivation." After a moment, Xing Chen opened his tightly shut eyes, which gleamed with brilliance.
"How is it? I didn't deceive you, did I? Although this Hate Emperor's Art is trash among trash for ordinary people, for people like you and me, nothing can compare to it." The Hate Emperor said proudly.
"It is indeed impressive; however, I still need some time to convert all my Vital Energy into Demonic Aura." Xing Chen pondered for a moment before replying.
"Don't worry about it; just focus on absorbing the Demonic Aura. Leave everything else to me. You don't need to worry about encountering danger while you cultivate; with me here, you have nothing to fear." The Hate Emperor assured confidently.
"It's precisely because you're here that I'm worried!" Xing Chen thought to himself. He then began to communicate with the Fate Jade Pendant. Suddenly, above the Hate Emperor appeared a Black Jade Pendant that emitted a faint ghostly light.
"You... why did you summon this thing? I have already been placed under Soul Restriction by you, do you still fear that I will harm you?" Hate Emperor shouted loudly.
"Hey, someone like you is hardly reliable. However, I still want to ensure everything is foolproof," Xing Chen smiled slightly, then sat cross-legged on the ground again, operating Hate Emperor's Art to absorb the Demonic Aura emanating from outside.
"Damn it, you little brat, ahhh!!! Quickly get this broken jade pendant away, don't let it stay above my head..." Hate Emperor roared frantically in Xing Chen's mind, but Xing Chen had already begun his cultivation and paid him no mind.
As he absorbed the Demonic Aura, the hatred that had been buried deep within him was awakened once more. Once this hatred was stirred, the speed of absorbing the Demonic Aura increased significantly. In less than a minute, the Vital Energy within him was completely transformed into Demonic Aura.
At the moment when the transformation of Demonic Aura was completed within him, Xing Chen suddenly opened his eyes wide. His cold gaze was like two sharp swords, capable of piercing through everything.
"Good Rascal, another generation of Emperor of Thunder Punishment's momentum. With some nurturing, he might truly become a generation's Emperor of Thunder Punishment, or even more," Hate Emperor thought secretly in his heart as he looked at Xing Chen at that moment, feeling a sense of appreciation for talent.
"However, if I nurture him, what will happen to me? Damn it, I can't nurture him; otherwise, I will forever be stuck in this half-human, half-ghost state!"
"Is this the power of Hate Emperor's Art? Truly formidable. Although my cultivation hasn't improved, my combat power has at least increased several times. At this moment, even if I face Zhao Yuanlong, I can remain undefeated and perhaps even win," Xing Chen clenched his fist, feeling the power surging within his body and murmuring to himself.
