Nine Nether Heavenly Emperor

Just as Shi Feng was about to point toward the Earth Divine Bell again, a sudden change occurred, causing his body to shudder violently.

The Void Sword Killing power concentrated on his Sword Finger instantaneously shattered.

"Hahaha! Hahahahaha!" At that moment, a wild laugh echoed from within Shi Feng's body, the laughter belonging to none other than the Sacred Flame of the Blood Pattern Tribe:

"Now that my power is sufficient, I can rush to the God Realm as I did in the past! Hahaha! With the power I once had, I can break free from your shackles and achieve freedom, while you, boy, will once again become a worthless wretch without a Dantian, turning to ashes under my fiery flames.

Who would have thought that after being suppressed for countless ages, I would encounter such a talented boy like you, achieving a return to the realm I fell from by burning my Lifebound Essence Fire in less than two years!

Hahaha! Hahahahaha! Though you are a genius among geniuses, you are also foolish, thinking I am eternally bound as your Dantian. I have merely been using you."

The Sacred Flame continued to laugh wildly within Shi Feng, sounding both excited and agitated.

Shi Feng had already sensed that the Sacred Flame, which had fused with his Dantian, had reached Great Perfection in power and was attempting to break through to the Demigod Realm independently.

If this wretched creature truly reaches the Demigod Realm before him, it could indeed detach itself from him.

If he loses this creature that had fused with his Dantian, he would have no way to resist the flames wielding Demigod Power.

Though he currently has the golden ring power of the Source of All Things to protect himself, the golden ring only safeguards against external attacks; should this creature betray him, it would burn him from within.

Most crucially, there are two Demigod strong people below, eyeing him covetously. At this moment, Shi Feng is truly beset by enemies both internal and external.

The Sacred Flame had earlier promised that once their energies were sufficient, it would aid him in breaking through to the Demigod Realm, but this traitor had long prepared a scheme!

"You're courting death!" Shi Feng coldly scolded the Sacred Flame within him. Quickly, he forced it to stop attempting to break through to the Demigod Realm independently.

After all, the creature bore his Soul Imprint; as long as the imprint remained unbroken, it must remain under his control.

"Ah! Ahhh! Ah!" In an instant, it let out painful roars, yet, amidst the cries of agony, the Sacred Flame's laughter echoed again:

"Haha, let you torture me a bit longer! I was once of the God Realm, and now my power is enough. Let's see how you can stop my progress!"

"Haha! Ahhaha!" The Sacred Flame laughed while wailing in pain under Shi Feng's mental control.

Suddenly, Shi Feng sensed a powerful aura rising sharply in the Sacred Flame, and at the same time, a chilling force surged toward the imprint he left in the Sacred Flame!

As the saying goes, misfortunes never come singly, just as the Sacred Flame was causing chaos within him, those two Demigod strong people, seeing that the Earth Divine Bell ceased its sound wave attacks and Shi Feng remaining in the void with an unpleasant expression, could tell something was wrong. Surely they wouldn't pass up such an opportunity.

At that moment, the two figures had already flashed to Shi Feng, one before and one behind.

Standing arrogantly in front of Shi Feng was a Demigod strong person immersed in violent purple thunder, seemingly fused with it, radiating strong purple thunder light.

At this moment, that thunder-laden face looked at Shi Feng with excitement and called out to the person behind him:

"This kid, not only does he have the Earth Divine Bell, but he also has Demigod-level battle technique. As long as we beat him half to death, leaving him a little breath, we shall own the Earth Divine Bell and Demigod Battlefield Techniques."

While speaking excitedly, a greedy look spread uncontrollably across his face.

Then, he clasped his hands together, a Thunderbolt Sword manifesting in his grip. He held it tightly, with a fierce and vicious expression, and thrust the sword towards Shi Feng's heart.

Meanwhile, the Demigod strong person behind Shi Feng also launched a strong strike, forming a fist with his right hand, as if capable of piercing everything, striking towards Shi Feng's back.

Their attacks complemented each other from the front and back, vowing to cripple the young Mountain Witch Clan member with the Earth Divine Bell and Demigod Battle Technique.

They didn't consider the Protective Golden Light on Shi Feng at all.

Shi Feng was now truly caught in a predicament of "internal turmoil and external threats"!

The Source of All Things' Demigod Power might barely hold them off, but the combined might of the two Demigods was beyond Shi Feng's confidence.

And he, due to the Sacred Flame's rebellion and defiance, found his power difficult to wield.

"No! I must not die! I can't die at the hands of these two! I can't perish by my own Dantian's betrayal! I'm about to reach a long-coveted realm, I can't die like this."

Thoughts raced like lightning through Shi Feng's mind, and then, his expression shifted, displaying an unprecedented determination as he shouted:

"Since you are my Dantian, if you can reach the Demigod Realm, then so can I. My great capacity once allowed you to live, but your ungrateful betrayal shall earn you utter destruction!"

Just then, an incredibly powerful aura surged from Shi Feng.

At the same time, the sky turned dark as if responding to the aura rising from Shi Feng, and the bright world abruptly dimmed.

"This! How could it be! He, he advanced suddenly?"

"This! The sky! Even the heavens are altered by his advancement! Is this the legendary celestial phenomenon?"

"No! No! How could you also step into the God Realm! How could this happen!"

The two Demigod strong people attacking Shi Feng front and back were startled by the shift in his aura.

Even so, they couldn't halt their assaults; someone capable of triggering a celestial phenomenon upon advancement was too dangerous, and with their enmity already deep-set, they couldn't leave him be.

Meanwhile, the Yin Cold Energy that the Sacred Flame had been using to resist Shi Feng and assault his imprint dissipated into nothingness.

Shi Feng's sudden breakthrough into the Demigod Realm allowed him to suppress the Sacred Flame as his Dantian once again, gaining complete control over it.

Nearly breaking free from his grip, the Sacred Flame was once more controlled by him. The Sacred Flame roared with unwillingness.

"Void! Sword Kill!" At this moment, Shi Feng formed both hands into Sword Fingers, and with a cold shout, an immensely powerful Formless Sword appeared ahead and behind him.
