Chapter 1168: Chapter 1164: Self-Harm?

Ye Tian’s words shattered Daichong’s last thread of hope…

Not only was Yun Xinyan taken away, but Ye Xuong and Tian Qi also met a tragic fate, with no bodies to be found!

No matter how one looks at it, the battle a few days ago was a complete defeat for us!

“At that time, you didn’t even know if they were fighting, naturally you couldn’t find their bodies. However, if Ye Xuong and Qiqi were still alive, they would definitely try to contact us, but they haven’t, suggesting they indeed met with misfortune—a grim fate awaits them!”

Ye Tian said helplessly, seemingly calm, but his heart was in intense pain.

Ye Xuong was the second in command at the Night King Hall, his right-hand man and like family to him; and Tian Qi, although they hadn’t worked together for long, they had grown closer with each passing day, their mutual care ever-increasing, like a soulmate.

The tragic fate of these two brought heartache to Ye Tian, and he secretly vowed to wipe out the Black Hole Clan to avenge them!

However, just as Ye Tian was making his vow, he suddenly felt a tightness in his chest.

What is going on?

Why is there suddenly a force touching the power within his body? And that which is being touched is the Power of Death!

In Ye Tian’s body, the Power of Death doesn’t hold much weight, but given Ye Tian’s strength, the Power of Death within him is quite strong.

Now, another force is touching it, and this force is also the Power of Death!

“This isn’t good!”

Ye Tian instinctively sensed that something was wrong, and he immediately drew the wooden sword he carried.

“Ye Tian, what’s wrong with you?”

Beside Ye Tian, Daichong asked with concern, but Ye Tian no longer had the mind to answer his question. He swung the wooden sword sharply and then stabbed it into his own body!

“Kid, what are you doing!?”

Ye Tian’s action stunned Shu Xin, residing within the wooden sword, no one expected Ye Tian would stab himself with the wooden sword!

“Scratch!”

Amidst the astonished gazes of everyone, Ye Tian had already stabbed the wooden sword into his abdomen, and after making an incision, he actually reached his hand inside.

“Boss, how can you self-harm?”

“Stop it, Ye Tian!”

“Even if you’re heartbroken, this isn’t a way to ease it!”

…

The surrounding Martial Artists shouted, but a bitter smile appeared on Ye Tian’s face, showing that his intentions were neither suicide nor self-harm.

After reaching his hand inside, Ye Tian swiftly took out two items, revealing a crystal and a golden horn.

After retrieving these two items, Ye Tian pressed swiftly on his acupuncture points, and his abdomen soon stopped bleeding, with the wound gradually healing.

All the Martial Artists breathed a sigh of relief; it turns out Ye Tian wasn’t self-harming but was trying to extract these two items from within.

“Ye Tian, what is this?”

Daichong asked curiously, and Ye Tian immediately replied, “These two items were created by the Black Hole Clan, known as the ‘Egg of Death,’ serving as vessels for the Power of Death. When I was a weak Martial Artist, I overly relied on the power of the ‘Egg of Death.'”

The fact is indeed as Ye Tian mentioned, when he was once called alongside the Hell King and the Rakshasa Queen, their powers were on par, but what determined victory or defeat was precisely the ‘Egg of Death’ created by the Black Hole Clan.

From the ‘Egg of Death,’ one could obtain enormous Power of Death in an instant, allowing one’s strength to instantly surpass opponents of the same level; thus, both Ye Tian and the Hell King, as well as the Rakshasa Queen, coveted this power eagerly.

Later, even after defeating the Hell King and the Rakshasa Queen, Ye Tian continued with this; he even implanted the crystal and golden horn into his body to obtain thorough Power of Death!

Had he not mastered the Life Weapon, Power of the Clouds, force of nature, and other natural forces, the Power of Death might still hold the greatest weight within Ye Tian’s body!

After listening to Ye Tian’s account, Daichong also shook his head silently, saying, “My former self in Tianmen knew about it too; those Martial Artists who cultivated traditional Inner Strength, since they couldn’t elevate their power for a moment, inevitably took shortcuts. And the Black Hole Clan seized this opportunity to spread the Power of Death everywhere.

Ye Tian, so you were one of the victims! However, it’s astonishing how you could grow to this point, especially since cultivating traditional Inner Strength is akin to hitting a bottleneck, yet you’ve managed to fuse the force of nature and traditional Inner Strength so perfectly, it’s really not easy!

It’s a good thing you’re no longer reliant on the Power of Death, after all, it’s a force derived from the Black Hole Clan, quite ominous. Such power should disappear from this world!”

“Daichong, that’s not the case!” Ye Tian disagreed with Daichong’s opinion and continued, “Power itself is neutral; it’s the user that determines the result, like the force of wind and the Power of the Clouds. In the hands of a schemer like Sima Yun, they are disasters for the Martial Arts World!

The reason I removed these two ‘Eggs of Death’ wasn’t to disdain this power, but because I discovered someone was using my internal Power of Death to track my movements, so I took them out! Now, no martial artist is using the Power of Death here, so they shouldn’t be able to locate me!”

“Ye Tian, you can actually detect when someone is searching for you?”

Daichong was shocked, unable to believe Ye Tian’s perception was so keen that he could even sense when someone was tracking him!

As Ye Tian removed the crystal and the golden horn from within his body, a woman wearing a red kimono fell into trouble amidst the ruins of the Xiangshan Villa Area.

“How is this possible…? Why can’t I temporarily sense the Power of Death within Ye Tian?”

The woman was Dong Mei, though her injuries hadn’t healed yet, she still followed the orders of Elder Nan Feng.

She and Elder Nan Feng arrived at the burned-down Xiangshan Villa Area, beginning to use her Power of Death to search. Ye Tian also held the Power of Death within him, and careful searching should reveal his location.

However, just as Dong Mei was about to find Ye Tian’s whereabouts, the Power of Death within Ye Tian suddenly disappeared, severing her search trail abruptly.

Dong Mei was completely stunned…

“Why haven’t you found anything yet?”

Elder Nan Feng asked with a stern face beside Dong Mei, who replied tremblingly, “Elder Nan Feng, I could sense it just now, but now, I can’t feel anything. It seems the Power of Death within Ye Tian suddenly vanished…”

“Useless!!”

Elder Nan Feng exploded in anger, slapping Dong Mei’s face, causing her mouth to bleed as her body fell to the ground.

“Please forgive me, Elder Nan Feng, I am truly powerless in this matter!”

Dong Mei quickly got up, kneeling on the ground to apologize.

Elder Nan Feng cast a cold glance at Dong Mei and continued, “What about Tian Qi? That traitor, do you know if she is dead or alive? Within the Black Hole Clan, only you have the ability to search using the Power of Death. Look carefully, is Tian Qi the traitor dead or alive, where is she!”

Dong Mei replied solemnly, “Elder Nan Feng, in my battle with Tian Qi, she shattered her body completely to gain power; she couldn’t possibly have survived! I have already searched for her whereabouts using the Power of Death, but found nothing, which suggests she should be dead!”

“Is this true?”

Elder Nan Feng asked again, his words causing Dong Mei to tremble.

“Of course it’s true! Elder Nan Feng, if Tian Qi were still alive, I would sense her presence, but I found nothing, which suggests she’s likely dead, unless…”

Dong Mei hesitated, and Elder Nan Feng coldly asked, “Unless what?”

“Unless she’s in another Different Space! But Different Space is our Black Hole Clan’s special technology, others cannot use it, so Tian Qi’s survival probability is zero!”

“That’s true…” Elder Nan Feng nodded in agreement with Dong Mei’s opinion, “However, if Tian Qi the traitor is dead, the Black Hole Clan’s big plan will be affected, even if slightly. Time is pressing, how can we find a replacement for Tian Qi?

But that’s not my concern; it’s Elder Xi Feng who most dislikes seeing it. The more trouble that guy has, the happier I am! Hahahahaha~~~~~~~~~”

Elder Nan Feng sneered, not worried about the Black Hole Clan’s plan being delayed due to Tian Qi’s death, but obsessed with personal conflicts, feeling joy when Elder Xi Feng faces trouble!

“Dong Mei, you’re injured, go back! I’ll handle the search for Ye Tian myself!”

After learning about Tian Qi’s death from Dong Mei, Elder Nan Feng no longer blamed Dong Mei and instead instructed her to return to South City.

“Yes…”

Dong Mei said softly, a complex expression on her face, but Elder Nan Feng didn’t notice, letting Dong Mei leave his sight.

Following that, Elder Nan Feng directly used Qinggong, starting to search the mountains for traces of Ye Tian and the other martial artists…

At this moment, Ye Tian was unaware of what transpired between Dong Mei and Elder Nan Feng, narrowly escaping danger and resting for a while.

The other martial artists in the mountain hollow didn’t dare interrupt Ye Tian, only stared silently until Ye Tian finished his meditation.

Ye Tian’s abdominal wound had mostly healed; compared to his internal injuries, the healing speed of his external wounds was remarkably fast. Even though injured by the Life Weapon, Ye Tian’s wound healed swiftly…
