Death Grip
“Hate Emperor, you you you…” Dark Light looked at Hate Emperor in terror, but with his strength, it was impossible for him to escape from Hate Emperor's Nine Nether Web.
“Do you want me to kill you? However, you can only think about it, because killing you would dirty my hands.” Hate Emperor said, waving his hand, and immediately the light sphere formed by Nine Nether Web flew forward and landed among the countless people below.
“Damn it, Dark Light, you have finally fallen into my hands…”
“Kill these people and let them know that we from the Hate Sea Region are absolutely not to be trifled with.”
“That's right, we must completely kill them; we cannot let anyone escape.”
Accompanied by angry roars, countless Divine Lords took action, and powerful attacks instantly bombarded Nine Nether Web, turning Dark Light and others into dust.
Hate Emperor glanced at the situation below, then his figure flickered and disappeared. Meanwhile, Xing Chen was refining the power of Hate Emperor's Inheritance within the Eternal Monolith.
As the power of Hate Emperor's Inheritance was continuously absorbed by Xing Chen, his momentum grew stronger and stronger, with strands of demonic thoughts constantly merging into Xing Chen's body from the Eternal Monolith.
Finally, after a while, Xing Chen successfully broke through to the Merging Void Realm, becoming a true Divine Lord. His powerful aura spread out, causing the Eternal Monolith to shake continuously, and the area within hundreds of miles centered around Demon God Mountain trembled.
Giant waves appeared on the sea surface, and countless islands shook as if an earthquake had occurred.
“Calm down; this is my friend breaking through. There’s no need to panic.” Just as the people in the Hate Emperor Palace were about to go out to check the situation, Hate Emperor's voice suddenly echoed.
“Yes, Emperor!”
……
In the following days, this kind of tremor occurred three more times, during Xing Chen's breakthroughs to the Initial Stage of the Void Fusion Realm, mid-stage of the Merging Void Realm, and late-stage of the Merging Void Realm.
By now, seven days had passed. Xing Chen had almost refined all of Hate Emperor's Inheritance power, reaching the peak of the Merging Void Realm, just one step away from the Heavenly Void Realm.
"Finally completely refined!" At a certain moment, Xing Chen in the Eternal Monolith suddenly opened his tightly closed eyes, revealing two piercing cold lights that flashed and disappeared.
"Woo woo woo..." The Purple Gold Tiger on Xing Chen's shoulder also let out a sound, as if congratulating him.
"You actually reached the Gaze of Life?" Xing Chen's gaze fell on the Purple Gold Tiger, and his pupils slightly constricted.
At this moment, the Purple Gold Tiger, which was originally only at the Initial Stage of Self-Observation, had actually reached the Gaze of Life.
"Woo woo woo..." The Purple Gold Tiger proudly lifted its head, waving its two paws incessantly.
"Hate Emperor, what is going on..." Xing Chen habitually wanted to ask Hate Emperor what was happening, but in the next moment he remembered that Hate Emperor had already restored his physical body and re-entered the Imperial Lord's Realm, no longer within his consciousness sea.
"I possess the Inheritance power of the Purple Gold Tiger clan. As long as I keep refining this power, I can quickly enhance my strength," the Purple Gold Tiger said while making its sounds and transmitting soul waves.
"So that's how it is." Xing Chen nodded, then got up and left the Eternal Monolith. Besides refining Hate Emperor's Inheritance power, he had also absorbed a considerable amount of demonic thoughts from the demon gods, which added an incredibly powerful intent within him—the intent of the demon god's reversal.
"Hate Emperor, you must be in seclusion breaking through to become a lord now! Then I should go to Dragon Blood Palace to rescue Meng Xin'er," Xing Chen glanced in the direction of Hate Emperor Palace, believing that it had surely been regained under Hate Emperor's control.
"Woo woo woo..." Just then, the Purple Gold Tiger suddenly began to make sounds again and pointed its paw forward towards where Hate Emperor Palace was located.
Xing Chen immediately looked ahead and saw a figure suddenly appear at the location of Hate Emperor Palace. In an instant, this figure had already arrived beside Xing Chen.
"Yunxiao Hall Master?" Xing Chen raised his eyebrows slightly; the person before him was Ren Yunxiao, whom he had encountered on Yuan Island.
"By order of the Emperor of Thunder Punishment, I am here to hand over the Hate Demon Armor and Hate Demon Sword to you!" Ren Yunxiao approached Xing Chen and took out the Hate Demon Sword and Hate Demon Armor, speaking loudly.
"Thank you. Has Hate Emperor entered seclusion?" Xing Chen paused for a moment before accepting the two items and slowly asked.
"Yes, the Emperor has been in seclusion for five days now, breaking through to lord level," Ren Yunxiao nodded while looking at Xing Chen with respect.
After all, Xing Chen is a friend recognized by the Hate Emperor, so he naturally did not dare to be the slightest bit negligent. As for why Xing Chen's strength had improved so quickly, that was even easier to explain; it must be due to the Hate Emperor's inheritance. Otherwise, the Hate Emperor would not have specifically sent over the Hate Demon Sword and Hate Demon Armor.
"Please convey my gratitude to the Emperor of Thunder Punishment. Thank him for this, and in the future, if there is an opportunity, I, Xing Chen, will definitely repay him," Xing Chen said as he looked at the magic armor and magic sword in his hands.
He knew very well that these two items were personal belongings of the Hate Emperor, which he would never part with under any circumstances. The fact that he could hand them over to Xing Chen showed that he had no ulterior motives towards him.
"I will definitely pass on your message to the Emperor. Also, the Emperor asked me to remind you that all inheritances in the human realm have begun to emerge one after another. A true era of prosperity is about to arrive, and at that time, chaos will surely ensue in the human realm. You must be prepared. Furthermore, although you have obtained his inheritance now, with many inheritances emerging one after another, the Hatred Inheritance may not allow you to dominate the seas," Ren Yunxiao nodded and said.
"I understand," Xing Chen replied. With a flash of black light, the Hate Demon Armor was already donned on him. Coupled with the Hate Demon Sword in his hand, he looked like another Hate Emperor; aside from a slight difference in strength, his aura was almost indistinguishable from that of the Hate Emperor.
"Please thank the Hate Emperor for me; I will take my leave now." With that, Xing Chen directly slashed through the void with his sword and vanished in an instant, leaving behind a stunned Ren Yunxiao.
"Could this be the Emperor's illegitimate son? How could he resemble the Emperor so much?" Ren Yunxiao thought wickedly.
It wasn't entirely his fault for having such wicked thoughts; in that brief moment, he truly believed that Xing Chen was the Hate Emperor himself. If it weren't for their significant difference in strength, he might have even called him 'Emperor.'
At this moment, Xing Chen had already left the Hate Emperor Palace far behind. He planned to return to the Nine Nether Sea Region and Dragon Blood Palace as quickly as possible to rescue Meng Xiner. After all, Meng Xiner had fallen into the hands of the treacherous Dragon Blood Sovereign, and no one knew what he would do.
"Dragon Blood Sovereign, if anything happens to Meng Xiner, I will not let you off," Xing Chen thought angrily as he hurried toward the sea region.
Along the way, Xing Chen indeed noticed many inheritances appearing; just from what he saw, there were no less than hundreds of inheritances, all of which were Divine Lord inheritances. However, Xing Chen was not interested in any of these; he only wanted to reach Dragon Blood Palace as soon as possible.
At his current speed, Xing Chen could almost cover hundreds of thousands of miles in an instant. Although it couldn't compare to long-distance Teleportation Arrays, even ordinary Teleportation Arrays could not match his speed.
Of course, this method of travel consumed a significant amount of Demonic Aura within him, so he did not use it continuously; instead, he occasionally traversed through the void while mostly flying.
"So many inheritances! It seems that what the Hate Emperor said is true; an era of prosperity and chaos will appear together. Moreover, extreme prosperity must lead to decline; after this chaotic era ends, the entire world will surely fall into decay," Xing Chen thought quietly as he neared the Nine Nether Sea Region. The number of inheritances he had seen along the way was countless, and each inheritance had many people vying for it.
"Woo woo woo..." The Purple Gold Tiger suddenly began to whimper, its front paws waving incessantly as if trying to communicate something.
"Are you Lianyao Tower?" Xing Chen furrowed his brows and then spoke.
"Ugh..." Purple Gold Tiger nodded and pointed its claw into the air.
"This..." Xing Chen followed the direction it pointed and immediately saw that the original Nine Nether Imperial Palace had been replaced by a demon tower filled with demonic energy, which was indeed Lianyao Tower!
"Could it be that Dragon Blood Sovereign has already destroyed Nine Nether Imperial Palace?" Xing Chen's expression changed slightly.
It is well known that Lianyao Tower is a treasure of Dragon Blood Sovereign, which suppresses demon beasts of the level of Demon Emperor, and the Demon Emperor is a powerful existence equivalent to the Emperor of Thunder Punishment.
At this moment, Lianyao Tower stood where the original Nine Nether Imperial Palace was located, clearly indicating that Nine Nether Imperial Palace had already been conquered or destroyed by Dragon Blood Sovereign.
"Dragon Blood Sovereign truly has remarkable means!" Xing Chen said, his figure flickering as he instantly appeared over three hundred thousand miles away, arriving at the Nine Nether Sea Region. The towering Lianyao Tower, which seemed capable of piercing through the clouds, became clearer in Xing Chen's eyes.
Upon arriving at the Nine Nether Sea Region, Xing Chen immediately closed his eyes, unleashing a powerful wave of Soul Power that spread out like a tide, covering an area of tens of thousands of miles.
"Nine Nether Imperial Palace has really been destroyed..." After a while, Xing Chen slowly withdrew his Soul Power. The Nine Nether Imperial Palace had now turned into ruins, and currently, it was ruled by a strong individual from Dragon Blood Sovereign's side who was at the Initial Stage of the Void Integration.
The Nine Nether Imperial Palace was a force left behind by the Nine Nether Emperor. Although so much time had passed, there should still be several strong individuals at the level of Heavenly Void Realm, otherwise, they would not have been able to withstand the pressure from Dragon Blood Palace for so long. However, this time, although Dragon Blood Sovereign was forced to emerge from seclusion and had not reached the realm of an Emperor, he had achieved the level of a Half-Step Emperor, making it effortless for him to destroy the Nine Nether Imperial Palace.
