Nine Nether Heavenly Emperor

Shi Feng and the Black Robed Man, their feet leaving the ground, slowly floated upwards, ascending while carefully sensing the mountain peak above.

However, neither of them relaxed their vigilance from start to finish.

Just as they were about to reach the summit, the Black Robed Man suddenly spoke, saying to Shi Feng, "Look quickly, at this rune!"

Shi Feng and his figure immediately stopped, hovering in the void before the mountain peak. In front of them was a rock wall that appeared rugged and dry, as if it had weathered endless storms.

Soon, Shi Feng also noticed a very faint, ancient character on the rock face, one that was difficult to discern through the ages.

Shi Feng and the Black Robed Man stared intently, trying to perceive this ambiguous text, attempting to see through it. Yet simultaneously, both Shi Feng and the Black Robed Man's spirits shook.

Even their bodies trembled in response.

It seemed their attempt to see through the vague text had resulted in a backlash to their spirits.

Much like when Shi Feng was in the Barbaric Demon Mountain Range, trying to memorize the array core's rune of the Ancient Great Formation.

The result was not only an inability to remember but also a backlash to the spirit.

At this moment, without needing to say, they both knew this was another ancient rune they could not penetrate.

"The key to this mountain might just be here!" The Black Robed Man spoke, extending a white, slender hand, like a woman's.

Every time Shi Feng saw this hand, he felt it didn't match the man's hoarse and aged voice, nor did it fit the old man's image he had imagined.

However, in the end, Shi Feng forcibly combined them perfectly.

Everything else spoke of an old man, full of wrinkles, yet possessing such a pair of white, slender hands.

Following this, the Black Robed Man suggested to Shi Feng, "Let's attack this rune together and see!"

"Alright!" Shi Feng nodded in agreement after listening to the Black Robed Man, and immediately, both of them flashed backwards rapidly.

To attack this mysterious and potentially very dangerous ancient rune, they naturally needed to avoid being too close.

In the unknown dangers of the ancient relics, it's essential to be cautious everywhere.

When Shi Feng and the Black Robed Man reappeared, they were already hundred meters away in the night sky.

At that moment, both shouted in unison, "Void! Sword Kill!"

"Shadow! Dang Ye!"

Following that, a horizontal Sword of Slaughter appeared before the vague ancient rune, its tip pointed directly at the rune.

At this time, the sword was not only burning with a blood-colored blaze but also with black currents flowing within it.

This Void Sword Killing, Shi Feng had fused with the power of the Sacred Flame and the Demon Extinguishing Black Thunder.

Immediately after, a shadow emerged beside the Sword of Slaughter.

Blood-colored blaze, black thunder Sword of Slaughter, and the shadow bombarded the ancient rune simultaneously.

The Sword of Slaughter fiercely stabbed forward, and the shadow suddenly exploded, generating a powerful, violent blast force.

"Boom boom! Boom boom boom! Boom boom boom boom!" At that moment, the mountain that was being bombarded, the earth, and then the entire mountain range began to shake violently.

It was as if the heavens and earth had suddenly experienced a violent earthquake.

Despite only attacking that ancient rune, the mountain responded as if encountering a "trigger that set off an entire mechanism"!

After Shi Feng and the Black Robed Man's strike, they did not move further, continuing to watch ahead. Shi Feng said:

"This ancient rune, having endured countless ages, is less than the array core of the ancient great formation at the entrance. Together, we should be able to break it."

The Black Robed Man nodded silently and then spoke:

"However, causing such a commotion here is bound to attract many barbaric demons! Especially that Demon King, the Black Jiao.

And the people from various tribes, who knows if they've entered this place! If they have, it might create even more trouble."

"No matter how much, we'll take it one step at a time. Considering the demon god's corpse is very likely below, for us to retreat is impossible! Whoever tries to seize it from us, we will kill them!" Shi Feng said coldly.

"Boom boom boom boom boom! Boom boom boom boom boom!" The trembling of this world continued, not only showing no sign of stopping but becoming even more intense.

...

"Roar! Roar roar! I sense it! Sense it! The ancient demon god calling out to me!"

In the night sky, a massive, fierce black flood dragon with a single black horn spun, roaring like a fierce beast, revealing rows of sharp fangs, looking even more terrifying.

The Black Jiao roared and spat Human Clan language, though its words sounded somewhat stiff.

Demon beasts at its realm, having unlocked spiritual wisdom, naturally face no obstacles in learning Human Clan languages.

However, most demon beasts naturally deem themselves powerful, with strong physiques and noble bloodlines, disdainful of learning the devious and insidious, diminutive Human Clan's language.

After Black Jiao roared in the night sky, about seven hundred demon beasts below, lay prostrate on the slightly trembling ground, silent under the majesty of the Demon King Black Jiao.

This included a few One-star Demigod Realm great demons.

Among them, over twenty great demons were the hegemons of different parts of the Barbaric Demon Mountain Range, but Black Jiao was the king of the entire range!

"The Demon God Fallen Land, this king has long heard about it, but due to the ancient great formation's presence, this king has always been wary. Now! Now that this king has entered, the king already feels the ancient demon god's dead soul calling out, let's go! Follow this king to inherit the demon god's legacy."

The massive dragon body of Black Jiao rotating in the night sky paused, its large lantern-like dragon eyes glaring at the distant roaring sound. After saying his last human words, the immense black dragon body suddenly flashed in the night sky and vanished.

Only after Black Jiao left, did the seven hundred demon beasts beneath follow suit, causing the slightly trembling ground to suddenly rock vigorously.

...

In another part of the night sky, people from various Human Clan tribes at this moment all focused their gaze toward the direction of the large disturbance.

The Third Young Master of the Gongsun Family, Gongsun Yuan, after sensing that direction, grinned and spoke to himself: "Looks like someone beat me to it.

But that's fine, saves me from more trouble. In the end, everything here will belong to me, Gongsun Yuan."

"Warriors of all tribes, let's go! Over there, the demon god's treasure must have been unlocked! The treasure of the ancient demon god is waiting for us." Gongsun Yuan shouted to the crowd.

In fact, he didn't need to shout, the crowd was already eager and moving.

In an ancient relic suddenly stirring, who can sit still?
