Nine Nether Heavenly Emperor

"So what?"

The Black Robed Man saw that Shi Feng, after hearing his advice, still appeared to disregard the Black Crow Clan, and he said nothing further.

He had already said what needed to be said.

Shi Feng maintained a composed demeanor, gazing at the Earth Divine Bell ahead, unfazed by Bai Ya's roaring emanating from within it.

At that moment, Shi Feng's right hand formed a Sword Finger, then pointed towards the Earth Divine Bell in front of him.

"Dong!" A resounding clamor echoed as Shi Feng's finger struck the bell once again. Fortunately, they had already set up a soundproof barrier in this chamber, otherwise this intense bell chime might have been noticed by soul-sensitive experts.

When Shi Feng pointed at the Earth Divine Bell, the Black Robed Man realized that Shi Feng intended to kill Bai Ya with the vibrations.

"Ahhhhhh!" Then, voices of agony sounded again from inside the Earth Divine Bell.

At this point, the Black Robed Man spoke to Shi Feng: "This Bai Ya, with Innate Dominant Wasteland Bone, since you plan to kill him, refine his bone and extract its marrow to fuse with your own skeleton, enhancing the power of physical body."

"Oh? Innate Dominant Wasteland Bone?" Shi Feng had heard Bai Ya boast about this many times himself. Aside from his pride in the Black Crow Clan, it seemed all that remained was this bone.

This Dominant Wasteland Bone could indeed be melted down for absorption into one's own bones, and if it was so praised, it should enhance one's power of physical body.

Currently, his Nine Nether Body's power, having been purified by Demon Extinguishing Black Thunder, reached the Nine-star Emperor level. Absorbing the marrow from this Dominant Wasteland Bone should allow him to advance even further.

Thinking about this, Shi Feng's right hand sparked with a cluster of Blood-colored Blaze, which he used to point at the Earth Divine Bell once again.

"Dong!"

As the Earth Divine Bell was struck again, it seemed like it was ignited by the flame on Shi Feng's Sword Finger. Instantly, it burned with scarlet, eerie fierce flames, emanating a wild but chilling aura.

"Ahhhhhh!" Bai Ya's screams grew even more agonized from within the Earth Divine Bell.

The Black Robed Man, witnessing the flames on the bell, exclaimed, "In this world, such miraculous flames exist! Just its fiery power must be at the demigod level, and it even made me sense a sentient presence within."

From the Black Robed Man's words, Shi Feng thought to himself, "Could it be that the Wilderness Continent has never had Heavenly Fire with sentient form?"

Yet the Black Robed Man's senses were truly sharp, even detecting the life presence within the Sacred Flame.

However, this life presence would soon be erased. Shi Feng's soul thought had already entered his own body.

"You! What do you intend for me?" The Sacred Flame merged with Shi Feng's Dantian sensed Shi Feng's soul entering, and responded anxiously.

As it spoke, the fist-sized Blood Flame merged with the Dantian flickered lightly.

Having walked together for two years, it knew well this person's temperament, and the Sacred Flame was already fearful. It knew its betrayal would bring dire consequences.

"Humph! What do you think?" Shi Feng coldly snorted at the Sacred Flame, questioning it.

"I know I was wrong! But if you forgive me this once, I swear, in the future, I'll be utterly loyal to you and never betray you. If I do anything that defies you again, let me face eternal damnation and be obliterated!" The Sacred Flame swore sincerely to Shi Feng.

"Now you want loyalty? Too late!" Shi Feng exclaimed coldly, proceeding to say, "When you escaped from Tianmu Ice Soul Peak, you harbored treacherous thoughts and coveted my physical form. Yet I controlled you without destroying your soul, allowing you to live two more years,

and you were ungrateful, attempting to cast me into damnation in my hour of need, almost leading to my demise! You've been with me this long, surely you know the fate of those who wish me dead!"

"You!" Upon hearing Shi Feng's resolute words, the Sacred Flame's tone gradually grew stronger, yelling at Shi Feng:

"I am the Blood Pattern Tribe's supreme sacred flame, but you! You demand I become your Dantian! Just a Dantian! Controlled and manipulated by you! And you are a madman; you don't even know when you might die. Following you will eventually involve me, and upon your death, I will perish!"

The Sacred Flame poured its sentiments out with unyielding cries.

"Between life and death, one grows more quickly.

Over these two years, you have watched me stride forth, and now my strength far surpasses yours of the past! And even if we meet the creature that emerges from your Blood Pattern Tribe's egg, when I return to the Tianheng Continent, I can effortlessly slay it!" Shi Feng stated.

With Shi Feng's words, the Sacred Flame fell silent, saying nothing in response.

Soon, Shi Feng communicated with it using Soul Power, slowly saying:

"Originally, you betrayed me, and I was determined to erase your consciousness and obliterate you. But after hearing your words, I've decided to keep you, so you might witness whether I am killed or grow even stronger!"

"You! You're not going to destroy me?" The formerly quiet Sacred Flame immediately responded with joy and excitement upon hearing Shi Feng's words.

Having been with Shi Feng so long, it understood that if he said he wouldn't destroy it, he wouldn't go back on his word.

Then Shi Feng's icy voice sounded again:

"This is your last chance! If you dare to harbor thoughts of betrayal again, I won't spare you! From now on, do not mention being the Blood Pattern Tribe's Sacred Flame; you have no relation to them anymore. Continuing to think of the Blood Pattern Tribe is also a betrayal of me.

From now on, your name is Gousheng! You're no longer the Sacred Flame."

"Fine! Fine! Gousheng! I'll be Gousheng from now on!" The Sacred Flame quickly responded to Shi Feng.

The Sacred Flame knew his temperament, and at this moment, it was truly afraid of this evil demon. Having narrowly escaped death, it couldn't dare to resist or consider dignity.

Shi Feng continued, "From now on, when I ask you something, you answer it, otherwise there's no need for your existence." This was the primary reason Shi Feng decided to keep the Sacred Flame's consciousness.

As for the ancient Tianheng Continent, it harbored many unsolved mysteries, and likely no one was clearer about them than the Sacred Flame that existed since ancient times.

Moreover, now having stepped into the demigod realm successfully, this entity was completely under his control! Even if it harbored thoughts of betrayal, it could no longer act on them.

"From now on, I... oh no, I will be sure to answer everything you ask!" The Sacred Flame promptly agreed.
