"However, I'll soon avenge them."

Feeling the Yin Qi in the surrounding air grow denser, Chen Hao furrowed his brow and clenched his fists.

An inevitable great battle was about to unfold.

"Let's change locations for the duel," King Mieji said coldly, "Just the two of us, and I promise you. After I kill you, I'll let your friends go."

King Mieji's tone was full of certainty, clearly he had not considered the possibility of losing to Chen Hao. His very words spurred Chen Hao's to greater determination.

"Fine by me, I was thinking the same!" Chen Hao readily accepted King Mieji's challenge, his eyes ablaze with fierce fire, "You choose the place."

"There's a tower on the mountaintop called Soulbreak Tower. It's for that tower the Soulbreak Mountain is named. Let's duel there. I will ensure that your soul perishes in that place!" King Mieji raised his head arrogantly, squinting as he gazed at the outline of Soulbreak Tower sketched by the night at the mountaintop.

"That will be the place where your soul perishes, not mine, Chen Hao!" Chen Hao declared with a piercing gaze.

King Mieji suddenly let out a furious shout, then dashed up the mountain at high speed, leaving only one sentence behind: "I'll wait for you at the mountaintop, you have two hours to ascend the mountain."

Chen Hao smiled contemptuously, thinking that King Mieji greatly underestimated him by giving him two hours to ascend the mountain. That said, it was a good thing. After all, knowing oneself and one's enemy ensures victory in every battle, and the arrogant King Mieji obviously wasn't familiar with his strength, simply seeing him as an Onmyoji with profound mana.

Suddenly, Chen Hao felt his chances of winning had increased.

He turned to look at Ye Yuqiao, Tang Jing, and Xie Xiaofeng, saying, "Give me one hour. I guarantee I'll come back within an hour with King Mieji's head."

Hearing Chen Hao's tone so confident, even to the point of arrogance, Xie Xiaofeng and Tang Jing were greatly surprised. They didn't understand why Chen Hao was so confident.

Only Ye Yuqiao maintained her composure. She knew clearly that Chen Hao wasn't just boasting, he truly had that level of strength. Ever since he conquered the Blade Soul within the Nether King's World-Slaying Blade, Chen Hao's strength had climbed several levels.

"Yuqiao!" Chen Hao gazed at Ye Yuqiao, unwilling to part.

At this moment, Xie Xiaofeng tactfully took Tang Jing away.

When their figures blended into the night, Ye Yuqiao hurried forward two steps and threw herself into Chen Hao's arms, "Boyfriend, be careful, Yuqiao will wait here for you to come back."

"Mhm, don't worry, I'll be back soon."

With that, Chen Hao lifted Ye Yuqiao's chin with his left hand and kissed her.

After a moment, they separated, and Chen Hao swiftly drifted up the mountain like a gust of wind.

"Boyfriend, be careful!" Ye Yuqiao shouted loudly at Chen Hao's departing figure.

Soon after, Xie Xiaofeng and Tang Jing returned beside Ye Yuqiao, their gazes following her line of sight toward the mountaintop.

"Yuqiao, can Chen Hao really defeat King Mieji alone?" Tang Jing asked.

Ye Yuqiao nodded.

"Then what are his chances of winning?" Xie Xiaofeng pressed.

After pondering for a long while, a gleam of light flashed in Ye Yuqiao's eyes as she said, "A hundred percent!"

At that very moment, atop the mountain, below Soulbreak Tower.

The silver moonlight in the night sky fell on the mountaintop, draping the surrounding serene mountains in a silver gossamer veil.

Chen Hao stood under the elongated shadow of Soulbreak Tower bathed in moonlight.

He could feel waves of cold, ghostly air flowing out from Soulbreak Tower behind him, striking his back; he could also hear the sounds of mournful and sorrowful weeping emanating from the tower.

But where had King Mieji gone?

Following the trace of Spiritual Power emanating from King Mieji, Chen Hao found that at this moment, he was in a thriving temple not far away.

However, Chen Hao did not plan to actively seek out King Mieji but instead turned into a breeze and arrived at the very top of Soulbreak Tower. Then, he gathered the power of the Nether in his left eye between his feet, accumulating more and more.

Half a minute passed.

A loud "crack" like thunder shattered the tranquility of the night sky, and suddenly a fissure spread from the tip of the tower under Chen Hao's feet towards its base with lightning speed, ripping the Soulbreak Tower in two.

With a "rumble" sound, Soulbreak Tower, which Chen Hao had split in half with the power of the Nether, began to shake violently, slowly parting as ancient tiles and chunks of stone fell from the twenty-meter tall tower that subdued demons, while dirt and dust also spread from the crack.

Chen Hao leapt down from the top of the tower and hovered midair at the middle level of the tower, pressing his hands, which had gathered a substantial amount of Nether power, against each half of the split tower.

At that moment, not far away within the War God Hall where King Mieji used to reside and meditate, King Mieji, who had been startled awake by the disturbance, immediately got up and strode out of the hall.

As soon as King Mieji stepped out of the War God Hall, he saw the two halves of the split Soulbreak Tower speeding towards his hall, like two meteorites from the heavens.

King Mieji was startled, and among the cracks of the split tower, he caught sight of Chen Hao's face.

Previously, he had only heard from King Shuanglin about Chen Hao's immortality, but he had not heard that Chen Hao could travel through the heavens and the earth like them. He knitted his brows, his expression revealing a touch of concern. Chen Hao seemed to have exceeded his expectations and was more than just an Onmyoji with a possessed spirit.

By the time he snapped out of his reverie, Chen Hao had already pushed the split Soulbreak Tower to his front.

Suddenly, Chen Hao let out a loud shout.

King Mieji gathered force in both palms, trying to push back the Soulbreak Tower that was smashing toward him.

However, as he prepared to leap into the air, a sudden gust of wind assaulted him.

It wasn't until the gust was just over a meter away from him that King Mieji recognized it wasn't wind at all, but a sword that seemed to appear and disappear.

He had never imagined that Chen Hao would transform into a sword.

King Mieji was shocked again!

In the end, just as the sword qi was about to hit him, he turned into a beam of golden light and flew towards the sky, leaving behind a trail that reached straight into the heavens.

His God of War Temple collided with the Soulbreak Tower, instantly turning into a pile of ruins.

"Hmph!" Chen Hao smiled smugly, dusting off his hands.

Suddenly, a pillar of light filled with dust flashed before his eyes, followed by a voice that drifted into his ears, "I didn't expect you to get up the mountain so quickly."

No sooner had the voice faded than the dust from the pillar of light coalesced to form King Mieji.

"Indeed. If everything had gone smoothly, I should have already been lying in bed two hours later, whispering sweet nothings to my girlfriend," he responded.

"Oh?" King Mieji sneered, "Are you that confident you can defeat me?"

Without a moment's hesitation, Chen Hao nodded and said, "I won't lie to you, there was luck involved in defeating King Ning and King Xin. King Ning underestimated my strength, while King Xin revealed her weakness. However, today defeating you, I no longer need to rely on luck!"

"I admit I had underestimated you," King Mieji said coldly, his face filled with rage, "but you have also underestimated me."

"I haven't underestimated you! My ultimate goal is the Ghost King, and you are not even a match for Zhao Chong!"

Hearing Chen Hao say that he was inferior to Zhao Chong, King Mieji's anger soared to the skies. Zhao Chong had always been a haunting shadow for him, an unhealable wound in his heart, and Chen Hao's words were like pouring salt on that wound.

In an instant, a beam of golden light filled with dust shot from King Mieji's eyes, piercing through Chen Hao's chest. Although not a drop of blood spilled, Chen Hao felt a heart-wrenching pain.

Suddenly, the dust expanded in all directions, and the golden light doubled in size. The light flashed and then disappeared, leaving a transparent, large hole in Chen Hao's body.

With a "bang," Chen Hao, his heart missing, fell to the ground, dead.

King Mieji stepped closer, brutally kicking Chen Hao's head hundreds of meters away. He knew Chen Hao possessed an immortal body; this act was simply a means to vent his anger.

"Who says I'm not as good as Zhao Chong!" King Mieji yelled furiously at Chen Hao's corpse.

Straightaway, dozens of golden beams shot from Chen Hao's body, leaving behind dozens of transparent, small holes.

After a few seconds, the headless corpse of Chen Hao was drawn to his head lying hundreds of meters away.

A few minutes later, Chen Hao returned before King Mieji, whose anger had greatly subsided.

"I originally wanted you to die inside Soulbreak Tower, but you've destroyed it!" King Mieji exclaimed.

Chen Hao looked up to the sky and laughed heartily, saying, "Yes, Soulbreak Tower and your temple have destroyed each other, which is a sign that you will be buried here alongside the Soulbreak Tower."

"Just now when I hadn't used my mana, you already had no power to fight back, I really don't know where your confidence comes from," King Mieji taunted.

"Because I can defeat Zhao Chong!" Chen Hao retorted with a cold sneer, obviously mocking and provoking King Mieji.

King Mieji instantly became enraged, and a golden light once again pierced through Chen Hao's chest.

"Don't think I can't kill you just because you have demonic power inside you!" King Mieji roared.

With that, he took an arrow step forward, his left hand tightly gripping Chen Hao's throat.

After a roar, he began to inject his spiritual power into Chen Hao's body, intent on forcing Chen Hao's Yin Soul out.

Chen Hao's mouth curved up slightly!

King Mieji frowned, puzzled as to why Chen Hao could still smile.

Suddenly, Chen Hao grabbed King Mieji's wrist with his left hand, a scorching heat immediately transferring into King Mieji's body, and smoke began billowing from his sleeve.

He was taken aback, only then noticing a cluster of black-purple flames in Chen Hao's left palm.

The flames were the Netherworld's fire. On the journey to Soulbreak Mountain over the past two days, Ye Yuqiao had been teaching Chen Hao how to wield the Netherworld's fire at will, not just limited to spraying it from his left eye.

"What is this fire?" King Mieji asked, as the Netherworld's fire was now consuming his left arm's clothing.

"This is a flame even more intense than the one that burnt King Ning to death!" Chen Hao declared.

"I see!" King Mieji said coldly.

What Chen Hao didn't expect next was that King Mieji suddenly...
