Nine Nether Heavenly Emperor

Shi Feng wielding the Bloodthirsty Sword, thrust it into the human-shaped blood-colored blaze. Immediately, the sword began to devour the demigod blood within the flames, followed by waves of blood-red light emanating from the sword.

This is the light signaling the advancement of the Bloodthirsty Sword!

"What! What is happening! This peerless murderous weapon has actually absorbed Bai Ya's blood and is now advancing!" When the Black Robed Man sensed the changes in the Bloodthirsty Sword, he exclaimed in shock once again.

A battle soldier advancing by devouring blood is unheard of and has exceeded the Black Robed Man's understanding of such weapons.

The weapons known to the Black Robed Man are crafted using alchemy techniques. But this Bloodthirsty Sword was born in a mysterious place called the Blood Pool during the Ancient Period.

After devouring Bai Ya's demigod blood, the Bloodthirsty Sword flashed its blood-red light four times consecutively, directly advancing from the Four-star Emperor Level to the Seven-star Emperor Level.

However, Shi Feng sensed that not only had the Bloodthirsty Sword advanced, but even its Artifact Spirit—the adult Blood Yin Beast—had progressed to the Seven-star Emperor Level.

Shi Feng had long discovered the unusual talent of this Blood Yin Beast; its evolution was akin to the Bloodthirsty Sword, the Sacred Flame, and himself, requiring only enough blood power to evolve directly.

The Blood Yin Beast has been legendary since ancient times as a Divine Grade demon beast; this beast with pure bloodline flows with the blood of Divine Beast lineage.

But now Shi Feng, regarding those Divine Grade objects passed down the Tianheng Continent, has formed two concepts: one being truly Divine Grade, the other being demigod.

Clearly, in the historical records of the Tianheng Continent, gods and demigods have become confused.

And that Source of All Things! Shi Feng originally thought that after entering the Realm of Divine Grade, the Source of All Things should be under his control. But Shi Feng discovered he still couldn't sense its existence.

Just like before, when it doesn't want to appear, it seems nonexistent within his body.

"How much do you know about the Source of All Things?" Shi Feng asked the Sacred Flame again via soul communication.

After Shi Feng's forgiveness, the Sacred Flame had completely mellowed and, upon hearing Shi Feng's question, responded quickly: "This object is very mysterious; even in our time, many fought over it.

It's rumored that in a time even older than ours, a Divine Realm expert used it to rule the entire continent!"

"Used it to rule the entire continent?" Hearing the Sacred Flame's words, Shi Feng was astonished. The Source of All Things, once considered mysteriously powerful by him, seemed less potent now that he had entered the Demigod Realm.

At most, it is only a Demigod Artifact with an Artifact Spirit, right!

While a Demigod Artifact is understandably coveted, saying a Divine Mirror expert ruled an entire continent using it—that legend applied to the Source of All Things seems exaggerated to Shi Feng.

Then the Sacred Flame spoke again: "That is all I know about the Source of All Things. Also, back then, that damned Yue Tianyu fought against the Blood Pattern Tribe experts and decisively defeated them.

Seeing things going south, I was about to flee when that Yue Tianyu activated the Source of All Things and chased after me...and everything that followed, I suppose you know."

The Sacred Flame still couldn't change his habit, automatically referring to himself as "I."

No need for him to speak; Shi Feng knew the following events. He was pursued by the Source of All Things and then suppressed under Tianmu Ice Soul Peak, trapped there for countless years.

However much was said about the Source of All Things, no clarity was given. What secret does this object truly hold?

Shi Feng carefully sensed every part of his body once again, but he still could not sense the existence of the Source of All Things.

This thing remains so mysterious! Since entering the Demigod Realm, despite the Demigod Power crashing towards him, the Source of All Things hasn't revealed its might.

At this moment, Shi Feng's nearby Black Robed Man spoke again: "How did you enter our Wilderness Continent? Where is the passage connecting the two continents?"

Upon hearing the Black Robed Man's question, Shi Feng revealed a bitter smile and said:

"I was accidentally sucked into a space black hole, then battered by chaotic currents within, tormented by mysterious suction. If it continued, my power would exhaust, leading to death.

Fortunately, I managed to tear open a hole in that dark space and survived to arrive here."

The explanation is brief, but recalling that time, Shi Feng felt it remarkably arduous.

After hearing Shi Feng's words, the Black Robed Man shook his head and said: "Entering a space black hole, nine times out of ten you'll get lost inside; I've never heard of anyone entering and then surviving to come out. That method is inadvisable."

No need for him to say; Shi Feng also knew that method was infeasible.

Then Shi Feng withdrew the Bloodthirsty Sword, now advanced to the Seven-star Emperor Level, from the human-shaped blood flames. A flash of blood-red light transformed it into a blood sword pattern on Shi Feng's right index finger.

As Shi Feng had become stronger, being on the Wilderness Continent where true experts abound, the Bloodthirsty Sword was not far from regaining its former grade. In a bit longer, Shi Feng would have another Demigod Artifact.

Shi Feng even pondered that if provided boundless blood, would it someday evolve into a true Divine Artifact?

But that inevitably requires a corpse mountain and a blood sea from strong experts to achieve! Shi Feng was merely daydreaming.

Moreover, if there were indeed so much blood, Shi Feng would first accomplish himself. Having reached the once relentlessly pursued Realm, he could not be merely satisfied, surely seeking to enter an even stronger Realm!

Pursue the utmost in Martial Arts!

At this moment, with a thought from Shi Feng, the burning human-shaped blood flames reversed and surged towards him.

Bai Ya's physical body had already been burned into nothingness in the blaze. His blood had been completely absorbed by the Bloodthirsty Sword, not a drop left. His innately Desolate Dominator Bone was refined to essence under Shi Feng's mind-controlling blood-colored blaze.

Soon, the blood-colored blaze reversing over touched Shi Feng's body and was absorbed within. Then, Shi Feng manipulated the essence refined from the Desolate Dominator Bone to flow towards his blood-colored bones.

Shi Feng's bones, having absorbed the Blood Bone Marrow from the Blood Pattern Tribe experts under the Source of All Things' promotion, had turned blood-colored.

Then, Shi Feng's blood-colored bones swiftly absorbed and fused the essence refined from the Desolate Dominator Bone.

Shi Feng instantly sensed a strengthening of his physical body power!
