Nine Nether Heavenly Emperor
Chapter 1014 - 999: Guardianship
The people below, no matter what they say, Shi Feng has already sentenced them to death. These people, no matter what, must die!
Although a few among them entered this Ancient Relics after his first tribulation and did not make any move against him.
Yet during his second tribulation, they all rushed into the sky to besiege the Black Robed Man, leaving none behind!
When Shi Feng walked out from the Demon Extinguishing Black Thunder the second time, he still remembered, these people rushed toward him, shouting cries of murder. The reason they didn't attack then, was because they were scared away by the two Black Thunder Dragons he unleashed.
If he had truly been heavily injured, with no battle power, on the verge of death when he walked out of the Demon Extinguishing Black Thunder, Shi Feng knew that a powerful force would surely have erupted from these people to ruthlessly destroy him.
In the dark void, suddenly, an exceptionally violent Black Thunderbolt burst forth again from Shi Feng's body. As the thunderbolt appeared, it spread wildly in all directions, "Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Instantly, the sound of thunderclaps, getting more violent and louder, reverberated.
As the violent Black Thunderbolt rampaged rapidly in all directions, heaven and earth suddenly transformed into a sea of raging black thunder.
Figures on the ground revealed faces of horror.
The violently surging Black Thunder Sea, all the attacks they launched in resistance were swallowed instantly. This power of the Black Thunder Sea was something they simply could not withstand!
At this moment, dozens of figures were devoured by this Black Thunder Sea! The fifty-two people who besieged Shi Feng were all annihilated in an instant!
..
In a sinister and eerie forest, the Black Jiao, like an evil dragon, was rapidly charging forward. Following behind the Black Jiao were fierce Barbaric Demons.
Originally, they were also soaring through the void. However, like those Human Clan experts, they were also slapped down by the powerful unseen force in the dark and eerie forest they passed.
After being slapped into the forest, the Black Jiao and the Barbaric Demons initially rushed swiftly toward that Black Tribulation, yet not long ago, the black thunder that descended from the sky and the massive black vortex suddenly vanished.
Thereafter, even though the Tribulation Thunder disappeared, the Black Jiao and the hundreds of Barbaric Demons continued to fly rapidly in the direction of the earlier Tribulation Thunder. But up until now, they had not seen any trace of that supposed Human Clan genius, let alone a Ghost Shadow.
According to the earlier distance to that Black Tribulation, they should have reached that region by now. However, after moving rapidly for so long, no traces of Tribulation Thunder have been found.
"Could it be! Could it be that I, the king, have gotten lost in this ghostly place!"
Continuing to fly rapidly, yet still not seeing any traces of Tribulation Lightning or people, the naturally ill-tempered Black Jiao grew increasingly violent, letting out one furious roar after another: "Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar!"
..
"Here, there's actually another world!" In the night sky, thirteen figures from the Human Clan appeared.
This world was the one Shi Feng had arrived at after being sucked into the vortex.
In this world, more humans and Demon Race beings arrived one after another.
...
Amidst a vine-filled dark realm, Shi Feng sat alone, floating in the void.
Those people had long been crushed to ashes under the Black Thunder Sea; Power of Death, souls, and blood had long since become Shi Feng's energy.
Three days had passed since the Black Thunder Sea annihilated those powerful beings from various clans.
During these three days, Shi Feng had been waiting here for the Black Robed Man.
According to what the Black Robed Man said at the time, that mysterious and powerful old woman was planning to impart her legacy to him.
If he could truly obtain that old woman's legacy, the Black Robed Man's battle power would undoubtedly achieve a tremendous leap.
After the Black Robed Man left with the old woman, Shi Feng waited here for her return.
...
In a dim void, two figures floated.
"Grandma, won't you leave here with me?" The Black Robed Man looked at the old woman in front of him and asked.
His voice was light and clear, like a mountain spring, sweet and pleasant.
"I cannot leave!" The old woman shook her head slightly, saying. Then she spoke slowly again, "I promised someone to guard something here. As long as I have breath, I cannot leave."
"Something? What thing?" Hearing the old woman's words, the Black Robed Man's voice was full of curiosity and doubt.
What could possibly require someone to spend a lifetime guarding in this dark and eerie place?
Who could compel her to give up her entire life!
"I cannot tell you." Facing the Black Robed Man's curiosity, the old woman refused to answer.
It seemed as though there were secrets that could not be divulged.
As he continued to gaze at the old woman, hearing her words, the Black Robed Man nodded in understanding.
Then, the Black Robed Man spoke again, asking the old woman, "Grandma, how much do you know about this Ancient Relics? This Ancient Relics, known as the Demon God Fallen Land, does it indeed have Ancient Demon Gods fallen here?"
"Actually, I don't know either!" Faced with the Black Robed Man's question, the old woman shook her head again, saying:
"Even in our time, this land was already called the Demon God Fallen Land, already rumored to have Demon Gods fallen here.
But once I entered this land, because of that promise, I did not delve any deeper. However, I know that this land still harbors many powerful beings, some whose powers are close to True Gods! You'd best leave this world as soon as possible."
If an entity is termed powerful by the old woman, it certainly must be extraordinarily strong. If entities close to True Gods were to emerge from this world, they'd effortlessly sweep across the entire Great Wilderness.
The ruler of that Great Wilderness, Gongsun Taiyin, is said to be no more than a Three-star Demigod or Four-star Half God, already the strongest entity in that Great Wilderness, a being none dares offend.
"Whatever entities may exist, since I've come to this Ancient Relics, I've decided to venture forth. If I retreat out of fear, I will surely regret it in the future. Only by teetering between life and death can I climb higher and further!"
The Black Robed Man spoke again to the old woman, his voice filled with resolve.
Martial Artists from any world understand this principle. Teetering between life and death, enduring hardships, is what makes one stronger and allows continual self-breakthroughs.
A flower in a greenhouse, even with unparalleled talent, will ultimately grow up limited.
