Death Grip
“Underworld God, do you not think that threatening others in this way undermines your identity as the Lord of the Underworld?” Dragon Blood Sovereign looked at Soul of the Underworld God.
“What does identity matter? I only care about the final benefits. As long as the outcome is what I desire, everything else is unimportant,” Underworld God sneered at Dragon Blood Sovereign.
Indeed, Dragon Blood Sovereign was powerful, and a fragment of his soul could not contend with him. However, not being able to defeat him did not mean he would be killed. If he wanted to escape, Underworld God believed that Dragon Blood Sovereign would definitely not be able to stop him.
“Underworld God, return Meng Xin'er's soul to me.” Xing Chen looked grimly at Soul of the Underworld God. He understood the power of **Plaque** better than anyone else. Although Underworld God had captured Meng Xin'er's soul, it was nearly impossible for him to harm her soul, at least not in the short term.
“Sure, just give me her physical body, and I will return her soul to you,” Underworld God laughed. He was confident that Xing Chen would not dare to act recklessly. As for Dragon Blood Sovereign, although he had the strength to defeat him, he would not dare to act lightly. Just now, it was merely a result of Dragon Blood Sovereign's rage; once he calmed down, he would definitely not dare to act so easily again.
“Underworld God, what do you think this is?” Suddenly, Xing Chen reached out and grabbed Yellow Spring Demon Lord, who had just been severely injured while trying to withstand Dragon Blood Sovereign's immense power. At this moment, he was easily captured by Xing Chen.
“Are you planning to use him to threaten me?” A cold smile appeared on Underworld God's face. Although Yellow Spring Demon Lord was quite strong, he was not very important to Underworld God. After all, Yellow Spring Demon Lord had been suppressed in the human world for thirty thousand years, and someone had already taken his place in the underworld. Therefore, even if Yellow Spring Demon Lord died, it would not cause any pain for Underworld God.
“I know you are a cold-blooded person, but…” Xing Chen said as he directly extracted Yellow Spring Demon Lord's soul from Feng Yan. Then he took the Storage Ring from Feng Yan's finger.
“You should know about the Strongest Inheritance, right? Not long ago, the Dragon Ball emerged from the sea, and the Dragon Ball is the key to unlocking the Strongest Inheritance,” Xing Chen said slowly.
“What do you want?” Underworld God frowned as he looked at Xing Chen.
“That Dragon Ball is in your subordinate's possession—Yellow Spring Demon Lord,” Xing Chen said as he crushed the Storage Ring, revealing a wooden box sealed with countless seals.
“This box contains the Dragon Ball. If you do not return Meng Xin'er's soul to me, I will send this Dragon Ball into the spatial turbulence,” Xing Chen suddenly raised his head and looked sharply at Underworld God.
“What? The contents of this box are the Dragon Ball?” The expression on Underworld God changed drastically. He then turned his gaze towards the soul of his subordinate, who was being held by Xing Chen, and shouted: “Yellow Spring Demon Lord, is this true?”
“Yes, yes, it’s true! I originally planned to wait until this matter was resolved before presenting the Dragon Ball to you, but…” Yellow Spring Demon Lord hurriedly explained, but before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by the furious roar of Underworld God.
"Yellow Spring Demon Lord, your audacity is growing! Such a significant matter, and you dare not report to me. What use do I have for you!" The Underworld God said, his eyes suddenly shooting out two beams of dark golden light, instantly piercing through the soul of Yellow Spring Demon Lord and killing him, yet causing no harm to Xing Chen at all, because Dragon Ball was far too important to him; he had to obtain it at all costs.
The reason he had been trying to attract the attention of the human realm was largely due to the Strongest Inheritance, and he naturally knew that the Dragon Ball was the key to the Strongest Inheritance. It was precisely because of this that he was so furious.
"Child, give me the Dragon Ball, and I will immediately release her soul; otherwise, I will kill her right now," Underworld God threatened.
"You return Meng Xin'er's soul to me, or I will throw this Dragon Ball into the spatial turbulence right now, making it impossible for you to ever find it," Xing Chen retorted firmly.
Meanwhile, Dragon Blood Sovereign was watching with keen eyes, clearly plotting something in his mind.
"Child, I keep my word. As long as you hand over the Dragon Ball to me, I will certainly return this woman's soul to you," Underworld God said darkly, staring at Xing Chen.
"If I trust you, then I might as well be lower than a pig or a dog," Xing Chen snorted coldly, showing no intention of handing over the Dragon Ball.
"Rascal, you must also be a disciple of my Dragon Blood Palace, right? How about we cooperate? I help you retrieve the soul of the woman in your arms, and you give me the Dragon Ball. What do you say?" Dragon Blood Sovereign transmitted to Xing Chen.
"Why should I trust you?" Xing Chen had no trust in Dragon Blood Sovereign, after all, it was only his first time meeting him and he knew very little about him.
"Because we are both of the human race. I would never conspire with Underworld God against you!" Dragon Blood Sovereign replied.
"Hate Emperor, can this Rascal be trusted?" Xing Chen secretly asked.
"Dragon Blood Sovereign is a very calculating person; such individuals should never be easily trusted because one careless move could lead to being sold out by him," Hate Emperor said.
He and Dragon Blood Sovereign were figures from the same era, so he naturally had more insight into him. During the battle with Punishment, Dragon Blood Sovereign had used an excuse not to participate, which indicated that he was definitely not simple.
"I can give you the Dragon Ball, but you must first return Meng Xin'er's soul to me," Xing Chen said after a moment of contemplation.
As for the Dragon Ball and the like, he didn't care much; what mattered to him was Meng Xin'er. As long as he could save her, even if it meant giving away a mere Dragon Ball, he wouldn't hesitate to part with even the Fate Jade Pendant.
"No problem, I will definitely give you the soul first," Dragon Blood Sovereign replied without hesitation.
"Underworld God, he will never give you the Dragon Ball. How about this, you give me that woman's soul, and I will exchange it with him for the Dragon Ball and then give it to you," Dragon Blood Sovereign communicated with Underworld God.
"Dragon Blood Sovereign? Why should I trust you?" Underworld God said with a hint of a cold smile on his face.
"You have no choice now; either we drag this out, or you hand over the soul. Think it over!" Dragon Blood Sovereign said calmly.
"Alright, I agree to your terms, but you must swear that the Dragon Ball will be handed over to me," Underworld God said after a moment of contemplation.
"I swear by my own cultivation that if I do not deliver the Dragon Ball into Underworld God's hands and keep it for myself, may my cultivation be destroyed and die an unnatural death," Dragon Blood Sovereign swore directly.
"Fine, I will trust you this once," Underworld God nodded and immediately handed Meng Xiner's soul to Dragon Blood Sovereign.
"Rascal, the soul you wanted; now hand over the Dragon Ball to me!" Dragon Blood Sovereign said as he caught Meng Xiner's soul.
"Give me the soul, and I will naturally hand over the Dragon Ball to you," Xing Chen said, his gaze flickering before he spoke.
"Alright, I will let you rest easy now, but I hope you keep your word," Dragon Blood Sovereign hesitated for a moment, showing a hint of a smile, and then directly infused Meng Xiner's soul into her body.
"How is it? Are you at ease now?" Dragon Blood Sovereign asked with a smile as he looked at Xing Chen.
"Here’s the Dragon Ball for you," Xing Chen said. After feeling that Meng Xiner's soul had truly returned to her body, he immediately threw the wooden box containing the Dragon Ball towards Dragon Blood Sovereign.
To him, the Dragon Ball and Meng Xiner were not comparable at all. Since Meng Xiner had already been saved, he naturally would not covet just a mere Dragon Ball anymore.
"Good, you really kept your promise. I admire that," Dragon Blood Sovereign said as he caught the wooden box and laughed heartily.
Since Xing Chen had already saved Meng Xiner, he had no intention of lingering any longer. He moved to slip into the void to leave this place. However, just as he made his move, a sharp glint suddenly flashed in Dragon Blood Sovereign's eyes, and then he struck towards Xing Chen with a powerful punch.
Blood Dragon Breaking Fist!
With a punch accompanied by the shocking Dragon Roar, a blood-red dragon shadow suddenly shot towards Xing Chen. This punch directly tore through the void and, in an instant, had already arrived behind Xing Chen.
"Heart!" Hate Emperor naturally sensed this scene, but his reminder was somewhat futile. At such a close distance, with such a powerful punch, and with Xing Chen having no prior defense, he was directly pierced through the body by this punch.
"You you you..." Xing Chen looked at the large hole that appeared in his chest, struggled to turn around, his lips moved as if wanting to say something, but in the end, no words came out, and his body fell down.
As he fell, his eyes saw Meng Xiner once again captured by Dragon Blood Sovereign. A trace of sorrow appeared in his eyes, but this sorrow was instantly overshadowed as his pupils dilated infinitely.
"Haha, just a mere child of Gaze of Fate, yet you dare to negotiate with me." Seeing Xing Chen fall into the vast sea, Dragon Blood Sovereign burst into laughter. He had absolute confidence in his attack; Xing Chen could not possibly survive.
As for why he captured Meng Xiner, it was naturally because he saw how much Underworld God valued her, which prompted him to take action against Meng Xiner.
"Underworld God, the Dragon Ball you wanted, I will definitely deliver it to you." Dragon Blood Sovereign then tossed the wooden box in his hand to Underworld God.
Initially shocked by Dragon Blood Sovereign's treachery, Underworld God reached out to grab the Dragon Ball as it flew towards him. However, just as his hand touched the Dragon Ball, Dragon Blood Sovereign made another move.
