Death Grip
The others were also smart enough to remain silent about the matter. After all, they were not really friends with Qin Junhao; in fact, they had fought against each other multiple times. At this moment, they certainly would not offend a powerful Gaze into the Self practitioner for Qin Junhao.
On the other side, Xing Chen clashed head-on with the Jiaolong Emperor. After the impact, blood gushed from his mouth, and his body was sent flying hundreds of miles away, crashing heavily into a massive ice mountain in the distance.
Boom!
The entire ice mountain shook from Xing Chen's collision, illustrating just how terrifying the force that sent him flying was.
Meanwhile, the crimson Flood Dragon, engulfed in flames, let out a wail. Numerous scales fell off its body due to the terrifying aftershocks, and its enormous form bore several horrific wounds.
This time, it was clear that the Flood Dragon did not come out unscathed. If it weren't for its massive size allowing it to withstand attacks far beyond its cultivation level, it would have already perished under that terrifying impact.
"Fortunately, his final strike did not exceed Glimpse of Objects and reach Gaze into Fate; otherwise, I would have truly died at his hands," the Jiaolong Emperor thought with lingering fear.
Although he could only exert the strength of Gaze into the Realm's Pinnacle at that moment, once he transformed into his true form, his power could soar to Glimpse of Objects, with defense comparable to a Gaze into Fate practitioner. It was no wonder that Xing Chen ended up in such a predicament after clashing with him.
After all, while Xing Chen's attack power was already comparable to the peak of Glimpse of Objects, his defense still remained at the level of Half-Step Soul-Searching Realm. If it weren't for the Hate Demon Armor and Hate Demon Body—two reverse defensive Martial Arts—he would have likely perished by now.
Although he had not completely succumbed yet, death was not far off.
"Damn it, this bastard is too strong!" After being struck into the glacier, Xing Chen's bones were completely shattered; he couldn't move at all. However, his consciousness remained clear. Gritting his teeth in anger, he attempted to rise again.
"Child, your meridians and bones have already been shattered by that blow. It's a miracle you’re still alive; you absolutely cannot fight again," said the Hate Emperor.
"Am I supposed to wait here to die?" Xing Chen gritted his teeth. Every bone and meridian in his body had been crushed, and he could feel the excruciating pain coursing through him, but he absolutely refused to stay here and wait for death.
"Child, listen to me. Although the Jiaolong Emperor is currently severely weakened, he is still not someone you can contend with. You cannot fight any longer in this situation," Hate Emperor shouted.
"Cannot fight any longer? I, Xing Chen, have never feared anyone nor submitted to anyone since I was young. Even if I die today, I will drag that bastard dragon down with me," Xing Chen declared. Despite his body being completely shattered, he stood tall and prepared to fight. This was not because his body could still move; rather, he was using his powerful Soul Power to force himself to stand. Every movement he made relied entirely on his immense Soul Power; otherwise, he would be unable to move at all.
"Child, even at your peak, you were no match for the Jiaolong Emperor. How can you hope to fight in your current half-dead state?" Hate Emperor said.
"Soul Storm!"
Xing Chen ignored Hate Emperor. The powerful Soul Power within him, comparable to Gaze into the Realm's Pinnacle, erupted instantly. The immense force pierced through the ice mountain, and Xing Chen once again appeared in mid-air.
At his current level of the Soul Devouring Refinement Technique's first layer, his Soul Power was only comparable to the Initial Stage of Soul Observation. After all, as one's cultivation progressed, it became increasingly difficult to enhance Soul Power. However, when he broke through to the Half-Step Soul-Searching Realm, he activated the effects of the Nine Revolutions Infinite Pill, causing a surge in his soul.
This allowed him to reach the level of Peering into the Pinnacle of Self-Observation in terms of Soul Power. However, even with this power, escaping death was still a challenge.
"Look! He’s actually fine! We still have hope..." Upon seeing Xing Chen emerge unscathed, Xuelu and Ren Jiu You both displayed expressions of joy.
"How could he possibly be fine? Facing such a powerful attack, how is it that he remains unharmed?" Song Jue exclaimed in shock. Such a powerful attack could instantly kill thousands or tens of thousands like him, yet Xing Chen was unscathed. This result nearly made him spit out blood. How could there be such a vast difference between them as fellow humans?
"Hmm?" Unlike the three of them, the Jiaolong Emperor at his peak was a genuine Spirit Void Realm powerhouse. Even though his realm had diminished now, his keen perception remained intact. With just one glance, he could tell that Xing Chen was relying on Soul Power to support his body.
"What tenacity! A good seedling indeed; too bad he's not one of my demon clan." The Jiaolong Emperor sighed slightly in his heart before suddenly opening his mouth wide and unleashing a burst of flames that shot towards Xing Chen.
The flames resembled a meteor shower, instantly cutting through the air and crossing thousands of miles to descend upon Xing Chen.
"Soul Barrier!"
Xing Chen's gaze flickered, and Soul Power surged forth, forming a powerful Soul Barrier in front of him.
Boom!
The powerful flames struck, and a searing pain instantly surged from the depths of Xing Chen's soul, as if his very essence were about to evaporate.
Xing Chen's eyes sparkled with light as Soul Power continuously poured out to resist the flames ahead. His body began to tremble, his skin turning red, and his blood-red eyes fixed intently on the flames before him.
Buzz!
At that moment, a buzzing sound suddenly echoed in his mind. The Fate Jade Pendant appeared in his consciousness, accompanied by flickering Black Light. Xing Chen felt the searing pain in his soul gradually dissipating, while his previously shattered meridians and bones slowly began to recover under the influence of the Black Light.
"The Fate Jade Pendant indeed appears when he is in danger. Fortunately, I did not take advantage of the situation to seize his body; otherwise, I would have been suppressed long ago," Hate Emperor thought, curled up in a corner, still haunted by the sight of the Fate Jade Pendant.
Under the coverage of the Fate Jade Pendant and Black Light, Xing Chen's body was rapidly recovering. The Black Light flickered around him, and the external flames posed no threat whatsoever.
"How is it possible that this guy's power is recovering so quickly? Even his shattered meridians and bones are healing at an astonishing rate. What on earth is going on?" Jiaolong Emperor stared intently at Xing Chen but could not discern any secrets within.
"Dragon Claw!"
Jiaolong Emperor stared at Xing Chen for a long while. Suddenly, one claw shot forward, the enormous dragon claw instantly piercing through layers of spatial barriers, descending above Xing Chen's head, ready to strike down.
But at that moment, a Black Jade Pendant appeared above Xing Chen's head, inscribed with the word "Fate," which was flashing continuously. Then, a beam of Black Light surged toward the dragon claw.
Once upon a time, the Fate Jade Pendant could even shatter the Azure Dragon Divine Weapon head-on, let alone a mere Flood Dragon. Although the one controlling the Fate Jade Pendant was no longer Punishment, its authority was certainly not something a single Flood Dragon could desecrate.
"Good. If the Fate Jade Pendant hits directly, this foolish dragon's strength will at least be reduced by more than half. If your injuries can be completely healed with the help of the Fate Jade Pendant, you can truly kill him," said Hate Emperor.
Xing Chen remained silent, his gaze fixed on the giant claw of the Flood Dragon that had been struck by the Fate Jade Pendant. At that moment, after being hit by the Fate Jade Pendant, Jiaolong Emperor let out a terrible scream as flames erupted violently from his body.
At the same time, his massive body rolled in mid-air, his expression filled with pain, and the dragon claw that had been struck by the Fate Jade Pendant began to slowly melt away.
This caused Jiaolong Emperor to scream in agony while quickly reverting to his human form. He then swiftly severed his melting right hand; the intense pain elicited another heart-wrenching scream from him.
Meanwhile, Xing Chen's internal injuries had already healed over seventy percent. Although he had not fully recovered yet, he could perform simple movements without relying entirely on Soul Power.
"What an opportunity!" Xuelu and the others exchanged glances and leaped into action, launching a fierce attack against Jiaolong Emperor. Even Song Jue joined in because they all realized that Jiaolong Emperor had been injured while attacking Xing Chen.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have severed his own hand. This was their only chance to kill Jiaolong Emperor. If they waited until he recovered, it would be their own lives at stake.
"Ice Soul Sword Technique, Blizzard!"
"Nine Sword Technique, one sword moves nine!"
“Stunning Dragon Fist, Dragon Roar Nine!”
Three powerful attacks surged forth in an instant, tearing through the space and causing the entire sky to tremble with their immense force.
“Damn it, a bunch of ants dare to strike at me!” The Jiaolong Emperor roared in anger, and with a wave of his hand, a violent and scorching gale swept through.
“Crimson Flame Storm!”
A continuous storm erupted as he waved his hand, instantly engulfing the surroundings. Glaciers melted, and the water surface evaporated. The powerful and searing Crimson Flame Storm rolled in relentlessly, colliding fiercely with the attacks from Xuelu and Song Jue.
Boom!
The powerful attacks collided instantly, sending Xuelu and the others flying back dozens of miles, crashing into the endless sea below.
The Jiaolong Emperor, having just been injured by the Fate Jade Pendant, could not unleash his full strength, so he too was pushed back by the force of the backlash.
Just as he thought he could catch his breath, in the distance, Xing Chen suddenly turned his blood-red eyes toward him. His aura surged dramatically; at that moment, his injuries had been completely healed by the Fate Jade Pendant.
