Nine Nether Heavenly Emperor

"Demigod-level combat technique!"

Upon hearing the words of the black-robed man, Shi Feng couldn't help but exclaim in surprise in his heart.

For this demigod-level mysterious artifact, Shi Feng was naturally tempted, but the demigod-level combat technique also deeply enticed him.

If he could master the demigod-level combat technique, Shi Feng believed he could greatly enhance his battle power. Perhaps, from that demigod-level combat technique, he might gain insight into the secret of becoming a god.

As for this Earth Divine Bell, although it was very tempting to Shi Feng, it was now a spoils of war between him and the black-robed man. If Shi Feng wanted to take it away just like that, the black-robed man naturally wouldn't agree. And offering a demigod-level combat technique in exchange was actually reasonable.

"I offer you the demigod-level combat technique, and you let me take away this Earth Divine Bell, how about that?" Seeing Shi Feng hadn't responded, the black-robed man spoke again, asking.

Since he had figured it out earlier, upon hearing the black-robed man's words again, Shi Feng said, "Okay! But you must hand over that combat technique first!"

"Hehe, are you afraid that I would deceive you? I wouldn't lie to a young kid like you," said the black-robed man. As he spoke, a small, strange white bone stone, about the size of a fingertip, appeared in his hand, resembling a bone, and he placed it on his forehead.

This bone stone should be similar to the jade scrolls used on the Tianheng Continent for recording information. Afterward, the black-robed man handed the bone stone to Shi Feng, speaking again, "I have already recorded the demigod-level combat technique within it. Whether you can cultivate it to success will depend on your perception!"

Shi Feng didn't reply and directly reached out to take the bone stone. Without personally verifying it, who knows if it's real, and who knows if this old undying one is trying to trick him with some other combat technique.

Following this, Shi Feng placed the white bone stone on his forehead to read the information within.

At first, Shi Feng's expression was calm, but gradually, his face suddenly changed, and he couldn't help but exclaim excitedly, "Demigod-level combat technique! This is indeed a demigod-level combat technique! Truly marvelous! Void Sword Killing! Haha! Excellent!"

As he spoke, Shi Feng couldn't help but start laughing. It seemed that acquiring this combat technique filled Shi Feng's heart with joy.

This shows that the black-robed old man didn't pull a trick, and the combat technique Shi Feng obtained was genuine.

This demigod-level combat technique is called Void Sword Killing. It involves sensing the void of heaven and earth, merging with it, and becoming one with the void, using it as a sword.

"You possess the power of a nine-star emperor. If you truly master this move, Void Sword Killing, you can unleash the power of a demigod in a single strike! However, since you have yet to enter the Demigod Realm, even in peak state, you can only unleash it once, and then you'll be utterly exhausted!"

Mastering this Void Sword Killing can unleash demigod power, and coupled with the protection of the Source of All Things, it is like adding wings to a tiger.

"Alright, kid, have you seen enough? If you keep looking, those who want to kill us will arrive! Since I have fulfilled my promise, you should fulfill yours as well." The black-robed man saw Shi Feng still immersed in the Void Sword Killing in the bone jade and spoke to him.

Upon hearing the black-robed man's words, Shi Feng returned to his senses, removed the white bone jade from his forehead, and placed it into his storage ring.

Afterward, Shi Feng moved, floating away from the Earth Divine Bell, and descended onto the devastated ground below.

"Hehe! Hehehe!" Seeing Shi Feng leave the Earth Divine Bell, the black-robed man chuckled again. Then, his right hand formed a claw, reaching towards the Earth Divine Bell below. Under the power of the black-robed man, the Earth Divine Bell began to rapidly shrink.

Seeing this scene, Shi Feng secretly noted that this old undying one was likely using a secret technique akin to the one the Blood Demon had taught him previously.

Once the Earth Divine Bell had shrunk to an extremely small size and was absorbed into the black-robed man's palm, his figure started descending toward Shi Feng below, gently landing beside him.

As if gazing upwards at the sky, the black-robed man then remarked, "Kid, let's go! I've already sensed several strong auras approaching. If we don't leave now, we won't be able to escape."

"Mm!" Shi Feng nodded. He, too, sensed the martial artist auras rapidly approaching from all directions.

Di Sha had already retreated underground during Shi Feng's battle with the Young Clan Leader, Dii Yi of the Earth Clan. Because of the master-servant contract, Shi Feng and Di Sha had a subtle linkage, which allowed for communication with a single thought.

Subsequently, under the power of earth from Di Sha, Shi Feng and the black-robed elder's figures once again sank into the earth.

For them, the safest route to leave this Great Wilderness was underground.

..

Shortly after Shi Feng and the black-robed elder left, figures began breaking through the air from all directions, stopping above the now ravaged and chaotic forest area.

Soon, seventeen martial artists arrived, mostly from different directions and various tribes, all drawn here by the battle in this region earlier.

A brawny man in beast hide, muscular and robust, gazed at the ruined battlefield below and said, "The area still bears traces of the Earth Clan's power. It must have been Earth Clan warriors who fought here."

"Hmm? Corpses? These corpses? What's happened to them!" Suddenly, someone noticed about fifteen corpses lying on the ground, either prone or lying down. Shocked, they cried out, for the corpses looked as though they had died hundreds of years ago, dried up and withered.

Soon, one gaze after another gathered upon those corpses on the ground, and a collective intake of breath was heard.

"This! It must be the work of the evil Mountain Witch Clan! What kind of malicious and vicious cultivation technique did they use to torment people like this!"

"This Great Wilderness has once again seen the emergence of the evil Mountain Witch Clan. Just the other night, they entered the Yan Clan tribe and fought with the Yan Clan Patriarch, even injuring the powerful Yan Clan Patriarch Yan Lie. These dozen or so people must have fallen victim to the Mountain Witch Clan, who cultivate wicked and nefarious techniques!"

"This person must be eliminated! With the evil Mountain Witch Clan hiding in our Great Wilderness, there will be no day of peace for us here!"

Gazing at the battlefield below, at the corpses that mirrored its destruction, everyone spoke one after another. At this time, figures breaking through the air from all sides grew more frequent, convening at this site.

At this moment, the fifteen dried-up corpses below suddenly floated up. Passing by these martial artists, they continued ascending into the sky.

Thereafter, gazes followed those fifteen floating corpses upwards, and soon they saw amidst the blue sky and white clouds, three regal figures standing tall like emperors.
