Nine Nether Heavenly Emperor

Shi Feng's soul thought withdrew from his body, and at that moment, inside the Earth Divine Bell, it had become utterly silent, with no signs of life.

Shi Feng had already sensed that Bai Ya had been killed by the Sound Wave Power of the Earth Divine Bell and the Blood-colored Blaze.

The Nine Nether Technique circulated, and Shi Feng quickly devoured that Power of Death, then saw a wisp of soul fly out from the Earth Divine Bell, which Shi Feng promptly absorbed as well.

The Young Clan Leader of the Black Crow Clan, the greatest genius of this Great Wilderness, Bai Ya with the Innate Dominant Wasteland Bone, had fallen!

Shi Feng extended his left hand, with five fingers spread wide

, clutching the Earth Divine Bell in front of him and lifting it high.

Soon, a human-shaped Blood Flame fell from the bell's mouth. With a thought, just as it was about to hit the ground, Shi Feng halted its descent, leaving it suspended and continuing to burn fiercely in front of him.

The Earth Divine Bell rapidly shrank in his left hand, and when it had become fist-sized, Shi Feng turned around and handed it back to the Black Robed Man, saying, "This bell is returned to you! I won't forget this life-saving grace twice over."

However, to Shi Feng's surprise, when he returned the bell to the Black Robed Man, the man didn't reach out to take it but instead spoke in a hoarse, aged voice, "If you like this bell, I will give it to you."

"Give it to me?" Hearing this, Shi Feng did not show any signs of joy, but instead furrowed his brow, his eyes intently watching the Black Robed Man as if trying to see through him.

Shi Feng spoke again, "You have saved my life twice and now wish to give me the Earth Divine Bell. From what I understand, you are not a person of such great benevolence; what is your true purpose, or what do you need me to do for you?"

"Hehe, speaking with intelligent people is indeed less effort." The Black Robed Man chuckled after hearing Shi Feng's words and said.

He then continued, "As long as you promise to fight for me against Shen Wu, that's all!"

"Shen Wu?" Shi Feng repeated the name, feeling it sounded somewhat familiar.

Then Shi Feng remembered, in the Barbaric Demon Mountain, when the ancient great formation's pool transformed into a valley, the Black Robed Man had projected his own image in the valley and claimed to be Shen Wu of the Mountain Witch Clan to Bai Ya.

During the battle with Bai Ya, Bai Ya had also several times referred to him as Shen Wu.

"This Shen Wu is not one of your Mountain Witch Clan, why do you want me to fight him?" Shi Feng asked the Black Robed Man again.

"I can't explain now; once we leave this Demon God Fallen Land, I'll tell you slowly. Just agree to this, and you can have the Earth Divine Bell. But I must warn you, Shen Wu is very strong, a true genius. That so-called greatest genius Bai Ya of the Great Wilderness cannot even compare to him!" said the Black Robed Man.

Speaking of Shen Wu, even the voice of the elderly Black Robed Man became solemn.

"So, you saved me because you saw my talent and hoped I would fight Shen Wu for you," Shi Feng deduced from the Black Robed Man's words.

"Correct!" The Black Robed Man nodded in acknowledgment and added, "It's my first time seeing someone comprehend Demigod Battle Technique in such a short time; that's why I saved you the first time.

The second time was more inevitable; you even triggered the legendary Demon Extinguishing Black Thunder! That thunder scant has been seen since the era of the legendary Undying Demon God!"

"Demon Extinguishing Black Thunder? Black Tribulation Lightning!" Shi Feng was puzzled by the Black Robed Man's words but then realized and shared, "It turns out that Black Thunder is called Demon Extinguishing Black Thunder. I thought stepping into the Demigod Realm always attracted this type of black thunder. What kind of Tribulation Thunder do you attract when entering the Demigod Realm?"

"Few demons who step into the Demigod Realm can stir Heavenly Earth Calamity Thunder! Only those with talents defying the natural order are not tolerated by Heaven, which sends down Tribulation Thunder to destroy them!"

The Black Robed Man expressed his statement while his voice reflected bafflement and curiosity: "These should be basic common martial knowledge, yet you seem completely unaware.

And I've been curious about your identity for some time; your attire, mannerisms, it seems you don't belong here."

"Indeed!" Shi Feng nodded, saying, "I am not from your world at all; I come from another continent, called Tianheng Continent."

This wasn't a secret worth hiding.

Moreover, given this Black Robed Man's deep knowledge, and since the Python Dragon Clan girl had heard of the Tianheng Continent, the Black Robed Man might have heard of it too.

He might even have heard of a route from the Wilderness Continent to the Tianheng Continent.

While speaking, Shi Feng put away the Earth Divine Bell in his left hand; seeing this action, the Black Robed Man knew Shi Feng had agreed to fight Shen Wu for him.

Shi Feng had no reason to refuse to battle a powerful genius; moreover, the Black Robed Man had saved him twice. Even without the Earth Divine Bell, if asked, he would agree to fight Shen Wu.

Shi Feng then turned back to the still burning human-shaped Blood Flame, reaching out his right hand towards it.

The Black Robed Man was taken aback when Shi Feng mentioned the Tianheng Continent, exclaiming, "So it's true, besides our Wilderness Continent, there really are other continents and living beings."

Hearing this from the Black Robed Man, Shi Feng felt a bit disappointed, realizing he didn't know the way to the Tianheng Continent.

Shi Feng withdrew his right hand from the human-shaped Blood Flame, now holding a black Feather Garment.

This black Feather Garment had three indistinct Ancient Runes circulating on it, formed from the essence feathers of the Black Crow Clan's Half-Demon God, the Black Crow's wings.

This half-god-grade defensive Battle Garment wouldn't be overlooked by Shi Feng, who soon stored away the black Feather Garment!

Given Shi Feng's current physical defense, the Blood Demon Armor was unnecessary, but the black Feather Garment would significantly boost his defenses when worn.

With increased defenses, his battle power would naturally rise as well.

After stowing away the black Feather Garment, a burst of blood-colored light flashed in Shi Feng's right hand, and the Bloodthirsty Sword appeared.

When the Black Robed Man saw the Bloodthirsty Sword in Shi Feng's hand, he sensed that, though its grade wasn't high, it exuded heavy Slaughter Aura and Bloody Aura.

This aura was birthed from slaying countless living beings, hence the intensity of these two auras.

"This! Just how many beings were slain to produce such levels of Slaughter Aura and Bloody Aura? This Battle Weapon surely ranks as a peerless fiendish weapon."

The Black Robed Man silently exclaimed in awe upon seeing the Bloodthirsty Sword and even drew in a breath of cold air.

Following that, he watched Shi Feng wield the blood-colored Battle Sword, stabbing it into the human-shaped Blood Flame.
