Nine Nether Heavenly Emperor

The black hood silently flipped back onto the Black Robed Man's head, and just as it was about to conceal that exquisite face again, Shi Feng saw those lively eyes suddenly open once more.

Then, that exquisite face was covered by the black hood again.

At this moment, Shi Feng felt as if she had discovered something, and couldn't help but feel a little guilty. He slowly stood up from his squatting position and said:

"Take your time to recover; I won't disturb you. I'll just walk around and explore the terrain of this area."

After saying this, Shi Feng intended to turn and leave.

"Stop!" However, just as Shi Feng turned around, a cold voice suddenly sounded behind him.

The voice was still that elderly, hoarse one.

Hearing that cold voice, Shi Feng thought to himself, "Looks like she discovered me."

Then, Shi Feng turned back around, slightly lowered his head, and showed what he thought was a kindly, friendly smile to the Black Robed Man, saying with a smile, "What's wrong? Is there something else?"

"Your appearance tells me you've done something guilty! Why did you look at my face without my permission?" The Black Robed Man continued with the elderly voice, speaking coldly to Shi Feng.

"Oh, that was a misunderstanding." Shi Feng continued to smile, explaining to her, "While you were unconscious, after a long journey, your black hood accidentally fell off."

Shi Feng spoke without a blink or a heartbeat, having reached his Realm, he could naturally control himself effortlessly.

Then, Shi Feng added, "But isn't this better? Clearly a beauty, yet always seen as a lecherous old man."

"This black robe of mine, unless someone removes my black hood, cannot possibly fall off!" At that moment, the Black Robed Man's voice turned even colder.

"I see!" Shi Feng, after hearing the Black Robed Man's words, nodded in seeming understanding, then revealed a sudden clarity and said:

"I get it now, it must have been the creature emitting that sound; while we weren't paying attention, it lifted your hood, revealing your true face. That creature is silent and invisible; we can't sense its presence. How frustrating!"

"Is that so?" The Black Robed Man's voice was cold again, yet from her icy tone, it was clear she didn't believe Shi Feng's words.

"That's definitely how it was! Alright, don't overthink it, or it will harm your recovery. Just rest here, call me if you need anything." Shi Feng said.

But this time, after Shi Feng finished speaking, before the Black Robed Man could say anything else, he quickly vanished.

In this dark world, only the Black Robed Man remained, with her body still soaking in the Yin Yang Spring Water.

"That boy!" Looking at the now completely empty surroundings, the Black Robed Man coldly uttered those three words.

Shi Feng's departing figure appeared a great distance behind the Black Robed Man. Looking at the black figure in the distance, he murmured, "Did I seem guilty, running away like this? But surely... not, I think my explanation was quite reasonable."

"Forget it, let's not bother with that. The recently learned Demigod Battle Technique, Thunder Move Nine Heavens, requires proper cultivation, so it can be used smoothly in future battles."

"Thunder Move Nine Heavens!" At this moment, Shi Feng softly shouted, and immediately, fierce black thunder erupted from his body, glowing with black lightning, transforming him into a Black Thunder Man.

Taking advantage of the Black Robed Man's recovery, he cultivated this Thunderbolt Skill, waiting to enter the pond himself once the Black Robed Man was done.

The old woman did say that those who heard the Death God Curse Sound would still be sought out by that creature unless the Yin Yang Spring Water cleansed their bodies.

...

"Hmm? Demon Extinguishing Black Thunder? Divine Demon True Thunder?"

In the dark sky, a small figure sat cross-legged, hovering, and when sensing the power fluctuation from the slant below, was immediately drawn to that power, turning the head to look over, muttering.

"His Divine Demon True Thunder looks unpracticed, probably just newly cultivated. It seems he encountered that person after entering here, and that person imparted the Divine Demon True Thunder to him.

So many years have passed, yet it seems not forgotten!"

The old woman spoke, shaking her head with some emotion.

...

"Ha!" On the dark ground where vines thrived, the black thunder-transformed Shi Feng suddenly let out a thunderous roar.

Instantly, the black thunder on him rushed wildly in all directions, "Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The sound of thunderous roars erupted, nine thunderclaps in total for Thunder Move Nine Heavens.

Each clap stronger than the last, and with every clap, the rampaging black thunder also grew more violent.

Under the rampage of the black thunder, the surrounding vine-like pythons had long turned to dust.

The Demigod-level Battle Technique Shi Feng used seemed specifically for the Demon Extinguishing Black Thunder, releasing the Demon Extinguishing Black Thunder within Shi Feng to its utmost power.

Furthermore, the Ancient Character representing Thunderbolt Law appeared amidst the raging black thunder, causing the Thunder Move Nine Heavens to grow even more violent.

"Ha!" At this moment, Shi Feng once more erupted with a loud shout, and the raging black thunder dissipated under his voice.

The body originally engulfed by black thunder emerged once again.

At this moment, due to the earlier sensation of Thunder Move Nine Heavens' power, Shi Feng's face was filled with pure joy and thrill.

"Divine Demon True Thunder, Thunder Move Nine Heavens! With this Combat Technique, combined with the Ancient Characters representing Thunder, my Battle Power has greatly increased from before."

"Very impressive! Just now, when you unleashed your true power, even I felt wary of you." At this moment, an elderly, hoarse voice suddenly sounded in front of Shi Feng.

Shi Feng looked up, seeing it was the Black Robed Man.

Now, she had already walked out of the pond, seemingly restored by the Yin Yang Spring Water.

"You're alright?" Shi Feng opened his mouth and asked her.

"Yes! Nothing serious now, the spring water in the pond indeed is extraordinary!" The Black Robed Man nodded, replying.

Hearing the Black Robed Man's words, Shi Feng also slightly nodded, then spoke to her:

"The reason we were able to escape from that forest was due to a mysterious expert who appeared, claiming to have a connection with you."

"A connection with me?" The Black Robed Man's voice sounded somewhat surprised upon hearing Shi Feng's words.

"Yes!" Shi Feng nodded in response, continuing, "And from what I observed, she seems to have lived in this Ancient Relic for countless years. She asked me to tell you, once you awaken, to find her."
