Nine Nether Heavenly Emperor

Bai Ya, the son of the Clan Leader of the Black Crow Tribe, is rumored to be a genius of this Great Wilderness, one rarely seen in a hundred years.

At the mere age of fifteen, he stepped into the Demigod Realm! Thus earning himself the title of the number one prodigy of the Great Wilderness.

There are even rumors that this Great Wilderness will eventually be under the dominion of Bai Ya of the Black Crow Clan!

Bai Ya, standing proudly with the Black Crow beside him, stood on the summit of the mountain valley, frowning as he gazed up into the sky, then, his tightly furrowed brows slowly relaxed, lowering his head to gaze down upon the valley center where "Shi Feng" stood, full of resolve, as if ready for a death match with him, along with the Earth Divine Bell floating by his side!

With a cold smile, Bai Ya's eyes locked onto the Earth Divine Bell, murmuring, "Earth Divine Bell! Good! Very good! Finally, a gift to bring joy to my father's birthday that's worth showing!"

Then Bai Ya shifted his gaze back again to the "Shi Feng" beside the Earth Divine Bell, and arrogantly shouted coldly, "Reprobate of the Mountain Witch Clan, let's see where you can escape to now! Hand over the Earth Divine Bell obediently, and I, Bai Ya of the Black Crow Clan, will grant you a swift death!"

From the distant void, Shi Feng saw that just as Bai Ya finished speaking, "he," standing proudly in the rain within the valley, moved his expression to become even more resolute and steadfast!

As if surrendering the Earth Divine Bell was impossible, determined to risk everything for a battle with Bai Ya.

Then, a voice resounded, as if rising from within the valley below, and concurrently, "his" image pointed a finger towards Bai Ya high in the sky, looking as if it was truly speaking:

"Humph! Why would I, Shen Wu of the Mountain Witch Clan, ever submit under your hands, if it's a battle you want, then it's a battle you'll have, spare me the idle talk!"

This voice, though young to the hear, was clearly not his own, it must have been that Black Robe old man mimicking a young voice to deceive Bai Ya.

As for the voice seemingly emanating from the valley, that was nothing unusual, that undying old man's stealth tactics were adept, and he always made his voice perplexing enough to seem as if it came from the valley below, certainly not difficult.

Shen Wu of the Witch Clan, who in the world is that!

"Oh! Shen Wu! So you are Shen Wu, the rumored first prodigy of the young generation within the Mountain Witch, just like me, Bai Ya, stepping into the Demigod Realm at only fifteen!" Upon hearing "Shi Feng" from below the valley claim the name, a look of interest emerged on Bai Ya's face.

Being called the number one prodigy of the Great Wilderness, having now encountered the first prodigy of the Mountain Witch Clan, a genius against another genius, instantly ignited both the battle spirit and murderous intent in his heart!

What proud genius doesn't wish to trample other geniuses beneath their feet?

That Black Robe undying one, seems to understand Bai Ya's thoughts very well; following this, the fake "Shi Feng" derisively uttered, "Bai Ya? Who is that? Who do you think you are, to even dare to compare with me, Shen Wu? It's practically a colossal joke!"

"You!" Listening to the words from the fake "Shi Feng" claiming to be Shen Wu, Bai Ya's face instantly turned cold again, gazing skyward, sensing the seven auras pressing down from above, and then lowering his head, glaring coldly at the fake "Shi Feng", yet speaking to the Black Crow beside him:

"Black Crow, time is short, you and I must act together to eliminate this arrogant person!"

"Caw!" On hearing Bai Ya's words, the Black Crow immediately let out an ear-piercing raspy screech, then, in a flash, both he and the Black Crow vanished.

"Seven Barbaric Demons coming from above, this Bai Ya really knows how to spout nonsense! However, finally caught the bait! Something to rejoice over, haha!" As Bai Ya and the Black Crow vanished in a flash, Shi Feng's ears immediately caught the Black Robed Man's conspiracy-accomplished laughter.

When Bai Ya and the Black Crow's forms reappeared, they were situated in front of the fake "Shi Feng" within the valley.

"Caw! Caw! Caw! Caw! Caw!"

"Caw! Caw! Caw! Caw! Caw!"

At that moment, the Black Crow's screech resounded continuously, and on Bai Ya's face, once full of cold and stern expression, his eyes widened, changing drastically.

"Damn! Damn it! What on earth is going on? This force!" Bai Ya's wide eyes manifested extreme shock, shouting loudly.

Right fist tightly clenched, as if imbued with the force of billions, capable of annihilating all, angrily punched towards the fake "Shi Feng" in front, yet as Bai Ya's fist struck the person in front of him, imbued with immense strength, it passed through the figure that seemed extremely lifelike.

"No! No! Damn! Damn it! Black Crow! We've been tricked! We've been trapped!" Sensing energies from all directions, a force inducing fear and making Bai Ya tremble, Bai Ya roared in anger.

Upon entering this valley, powerful energies surged from all around, even though Bai Ya wished to instant teleport out, the path was thwarted by the immense force pressing down from the skies.

Shape shifting instant teleportation is a means only acquired upon stepping into the Demigod Realm, seemingly leaping from one place to another suddenly, yet in reality, upon reaching the demigod, one can attain speeds completely beyond others' perception.

"Black Crow, exhaust all your strength to protect me safely!" Within the valley, Bai Ya's loud shout rang out again, instructing the Black Crow beside him.

At this time, an immense formless power also rose from Bai Ya, preparing to counter the formidable energy surging upon them.

"Caw!" As the Black Crow emitted a screech once more, its two black wings suddenly waving, instantly, black feathers gracefully flew out from both wings, converging towards Bai Ya, quickly forming a black feather garment for him.

Then, in the void where Shi Feng was hidden, he heard the Black Robed Man's voice once more, "This Black Crow is the black Crow Clan's guardian Half-Demon God, rumored to have traces of the Ancient Divine Beast, the bloodline of the Three-legged Golden Crow, although the bloodline is faint, however, its black feathers from the day it was born in the Black Crow Tribe were noted for their uniqueness.

As the Black Crow evolved, these feathers constantly fortified themselves, this black feather garment now equates to a Demigod Level defensive clothing! Watching closely, there are even ancient runes faintly circulating on those black feathers."

After hearing the Black Robed Man's words, Shi Feng only then noticed that the black feathered garment draping over Bai Ya was indeed flowing with three character-like things.

Though these three characters were very faint and already indistinct, yet they seemed so familiar to Shi Feng.

"Could it be these belong to the same era's script?" Shi Feng murmured quietly.
