Nine Nether Heavenly Emperor

"Boom!" A massive black thunderbolt burst explosively in mid-air, still a distance away from the ascending Shi Feng.

The Demon Extinguishing Black Thunder appeared to be obstructed by an invisible, mighty force, unable to continue its descent or strike at its primary target, Shi Feng.

Shi Feng suddenly let out a painful shout. As he ascended, he felt an invisible, mighty force slam against him, forcefully driving him back down.

This force was the same one that, when he tried to break through in that dark and eerie forest earlier, repeatedly pushed him back.

Now, this force not only blocked the descending Demon Extinguishing Black Thunder but also struck him down once again.

"Bang!" With a resounding crash, Shi Feng was slammed to the ground by that force. He once again looked up to the sky, gazing at the Demon Extinguishing Black Thunder trapped in the air, and let out a roar full of unwillingness, "No!"

Although the Demon Extinguishing Black Thunder was a punishment sent by Heaven to destroy someone like him, who defied fate, the benefits were enormous. Missing this opportunity would be an immeasurable loss.

No one knew when the next opportunity might come.

"No! This opportunity! I must not miss it! Absolutely not!" Shi Feng shouted once again, surging up toward the sky.

As his form rushed upward furiously and fiercely, a wild black thunderbolt erupted from Shi Feng's body. A blood-red sword light shone in his hand as the Bloodthirsty Sword appeared in his grip.

"Ha! Void Sword Killing! Thunder Move Nine Heavens!" Shi Feng shouted explosively again, with the black thunderbolt on his body surging upward.

The Bloodthirsty Sword also thrust straight toward the sky, manifesting a massive Blood Flame Slaughter Sword in the void, ready to pierce the heavens!

But as soon as the Blood Flame Slaughter Sword was thrust out, Shi Feng sensed it being immediately absorbed by the mysterious and mighty force, disappearing without a trace, like a stone sinking into the sea.

At that moment, the black thunderbolt erupting from Shi Feng's body continued to ring with constant thunder, each sound louder than the last, carrying a more intense and powerful force, striving to break through that force and allow the Demon Extinguishing Black Thunder to descend upon him.

In the distance, an elderly woman only as tall as one meter, continued to focus on Shi Feng. Seeing him resist that powerful invisible force, she shook her head slightly and said:

"In this world, there is still the residual power of the ancient wilderness; relying solely on this boy's strength, he will never be able to break through the Power of Wilderness."

"The Power of Ancient Wilderness!" Hearing the elderly woman's words, the Black Robed Man couldn't help but exclaim.

The Power of Ancient Wilderness, something the Black Robed Man had read about in ancient texts, was a powerful force from ancient times, comparable to True God Power.

No one expected such a force to still linger in this world.

"That black cloud!" At that moment, the Black Robed Man, looking up at the sky, suddenly noticed that near the huge vortex appeared the enormous black cloud that had previously followed Shi Feng and even imparted the Demigod Battle Technique to him, with two large scarlet eyes still visible within.

"It seems that upon seeing the Demon Extinguishing Black Thunder descend into this region, it could no longer hold back," the elderly woman said, smiling as she looked at the black cloud.

"Grandma, who is it?" Hearing the elderly woman's words, the Black Robed Man asked in a melodious voice like a silver bell.

"It? It has an indescribable relationship with the Undying Demon!" the elderly woman replied, adding:

"Since it has previously imparted the True God Combat Technique Divine Demon True Thunder to the boy, it will surely assist him now. So I shall join forces with it to break through the Power of Wilderness and fulfill the boy's wish."

After saying the last sentence, the elderly woman's figure flickered and disappeared.

"Undying Demon?" After the elderly woman left, the Black Robed Man reflected on her earlier words before suddenly realizing, muttering, "Undying Demon? Undying Demon God! Could this black cloud truly be connected to the True God, the Undying Demon God, from ancient legends!"

Earlier, when Shi Feng obtained the Combat Technique Divine Demon True Thunder of Nine Heavens, he mentioned to her that the black strange cloud might be related to the Demon Extinguishing Black Thunder or the Undying Demon God!

The massive black vortex above the heavens continued to send down the enormous black thunderbolt, but it remained obstructed by the powerful invisible force, unable to descend further.

Meanwhile, Shi Feng continued to unleash powerful attacks, but his attacks were consistently dispelled by that invisible force.

He could no longer count how many times he had been struck down by that force.

Unable to withstand the baptism of the Demon Extinguishing Black Thunder, Shi Feng grew increasingly unwilling.

If things continued this way, the black thunderbolt would disappear, and his advancement would yield nothing.

"Boy, stand down, don't waste your energy!" At that moment, an elderly, hoarse, and low voice echoed through the heavens and earth. Soon, in the void not far from Shi Feng, a figure flickered with the mysterious and powerful elderly woman appearing.

"Senior!" Shi Feng called out upon seeing the arrival of the elderly woman.

"I will act to break through that force, allowing you to experience the Demon Extinguishing Tribulation Lightning. Step back first," the elderly woman said to Shi Feng again.

"Alright!" Shi Feng nodded upon hearing the elderly woman's words.

This powerful elderly woman might truly be able to break through the mighty, invisible force.

Even Shi Feng knew that continuing to unleash all his power would be futile, and he had only persisted because of his unwillingness.

Then, Shi Feng's figure flickered, leaving the void to the elderly woman, reappearing at the ground below.

The elderly woman stood with her hands behind her back, erect in the void. Though short in stature, at that moment, she exuded the aura of a giant.

She then cast her gaze upward at the distant black cloud in the sky and said in a deep voice, "Since both of us wish to assist this boy, shall we join forces to break through this Power of Wilderness?"

Shi Feng finally noticed that near the distantly descending Demon Extinguishing Black Thunder's vortex, the black strange cloud he had seen before had appeared once more.

"Alright!" A woman's voice suddenly echoed throughout this world, and Shi Feng discerned that the voice came from the black cloud.

Within it? Could there be a woman hidden within it?

Living in this Ancient Relic is this elderly woman. Even if there is another woman, Shi Feng wouldn't find it surprising.
